    Small, takeout orientated place. Definitely try the pork belly bao, you won't regret it unless you eat kosher.

    The vegetarian Tofu and Enoki Mushroom was delicious. Fresh ingredients and the fluffiest bun.

    Very cozy and casual Asian fusion place. Never gone wrong with anything on their menu at all! Even my vegetarian (yet buffed!) friend gave a thumb up!

    I had the chicken and pulled pork bao and both were amazing. Very limited seating though so takeout might be a better idea

    All their baos are amazing. Try any or all of them. They're also on Grabb App and you call use code "BA2JV" to get $5 towards your order!

    The baos are all great, never been disappointed here. Dumplings are solid too. Quick cheap snack/meal any time.

    Good value for the food, as a snack. Food can spill out of the bun so get some napkins. Food was tasty. Not sure if I would come back.

    The pork belly bao is really good. And it's only around $4

    My pulled pork bao just didn't taste good - the problem was the bao/bread just tasted bad. Avoid and opt for bahn mi boys nearby.
