Have had amazing bao before, so wanted to give this place a try. The service was very, very slow, and the food took around an hour. Restaurant was not very crowded, it just felt like the waitstaff was burnt out. The Mala hot chicken bao was very good, and the rest of the bao I tried was good as well. Three bao with some fries is quite filling. Overall the bao itself was quite tasty, but the experience as well as the higher price point for the offerings would probably make me order online or seek alternative spots.
A modern Bao Bar that truly lives up to its name. The place has a wide menu with a lot of food and drink options. The Bao was wonderful! My favourite was the fried chicken Bao. The Shrimp Katzu curry is also brilliant too. Our waitress (Jessie) was polite, kind and very quick with our orders. We had a great experience here!
My fiance and I came in for a late lunch the other day and had a great experience. Our server was very friendly and attentive and the food was great. My favorite thing we got was the yuzu chicken. It was absolutely delicious. We both got the pick 2 combo. If you get an appetizer I'd recommend the pick 2 combo, if not I'd recommend getting the pick 3 combo if you are getting baos.
