Do not eat here if you value your self-control. Their inside-out grilled cheese brisket buns should come with a warning label. They’re basically a controlled substance. Ridiculously good food. Awesome service. The manager recognized me and was incredibly welcoming. I hate y’all… I’ll never be skinny now. No pictures. I inhaled it.

Nice little place serving wonderful Asian/Asian fusion dishes. Everything was tasty, mouth watering and definitely worth trying again. We will return and hope you'll give them a try.

Amazing food, unique decor, and some of the friendliest people to ever run a restaurant. Grilled cheese brisket buns are my favorite, but literally everything else is great too.

Service was impeccable. The lines can be long, but they are well equipped and get orders out very quick. However, I’m not the biggest fan of their bao. The beef bao tastes like a Salisbury steak and essentially is just a ball of meat within the bun and as a result didn't feel very cohesive. It was also very wet and had broth inside of it as if it was a soup dumpling, not very appetizing when you're not expecting it. The Spicy and Sweet chicken plate wasn’t terrible, but if you are someone who likes spicy food I would steer clear of this dish. No spice really at all and VERY sweet. I did enjoy the slaw that is included in the plate, it was very good.
We had high expectations for The Irritable Bao given the multiple recs from locals, and those expectations were dramatically surpassed! Desiree, Whitley, and their team not only accommodated a pretty last-minute (and definitely frantic) order for 25 people, but they also held my hand in deciding what to choose AND managed to keep it under budget. And they gracefully navigated multiple timing changes/issues on our end. Our crew was a mix of ppl from NYC, Los Angeles, and Atlanta, and everyone raved about the food…we ordered the shrimp buns, chix skewers, spinach and artichoke spring rolls, and of course Bao (spicy beef and crack chix), all of which were amazing. Moreover, the patience, warmth, and enthusiasm we received from Desiree and Whitley really struck us…their character is at the heart of the fantastic product. They love what they do and are passionate about food, service, and community—and it shows! Above and beyond in every way 🙌

My wife loves this place. We drive an hour from Newnan Georgia just so she can eat here. Great food and atmosphere.
