3.7 / 5 (1054 reviews)

Description

In a recent dining experience, a restaurant known for its bao offerings has received mixed reviews. While patrons lament the absence of authentic guabao, they still find joy in the other buns and delicious Szechuan fries. The veggie combo, which features a tofu bao, presents a blend of sweet BBQ flavors but is criticized for its lack of depth. The veggie guabao has been deemed underwhelming, falling short on filling and taste. Notably, the Szechuan fries steal the show, praised for their perfect balance of spice and garlic, making them a must-order for any visit.

While the restaurant may only have a limited menu due to Covid restrictions, there was only one vegetarian option available. However, the fries were delicious!

It used to be better when they offered actual guabao instead of just “plates” but the other buns and boa are still pretty good, including the fries. Just make sure to specify vegan when you order, because some of the menu items with a V are only really vegan by request.

It was really cute place with good food. The main food is the bao which is ????????????. The place was super cute. And bro the fries and sauce. That stuff is marvelous ????, the fries itself were seasoned and the sauce was just chefs kiss. There was alsosome milk tea and thai tea.. The place is a little small and there is outdoor seating.
