My meal was very good. I ordered Nashville Hot chicken sandwich, with side of Mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was very average, but satisfying. The sandwich was wonderful. Very crunchy, well seasoned, good sauce, pickles, fresh lettuce, delicious bun. The man who gave me my order was very kind and gave me a sample.
I definitely recommend to anyone who likes chicken sandwiches.

The fried chicken is juicy and crispy. Getting it with spice is just more or less Chinese numbing spice powder. So be aware if that’s not your cup of tea.
The dumplings were decent. The pan fried ones had better flavor than the steamed.
The fries were good.
All sauces are extra money, except chili oil and Chinese numbing powder

I was genuinely impressed by how good the food was! I had no idea what to expect until my chicken sandwich arrived— it was absolutely massive and so filling that I couldn’t finish it in one sitting. The xiaolongbao were also incredibly delicious and full of flavor. On top of that, the staff was super friendly and welcoming, and the place was spotless. If you have a big appetite and want a satisfying meal, this is definitely a must-stop!

Extremely rude owner that asked us in mandarin to go pick up other people’s trash and throw away for him. Avoid and don’t support this trash

After perusing the options within the food court, Bao Chick caught my attention. Rather than the fried chicken, it was the lamb soup decal (in Mandarin) by the stall that led me to make my lunch order.

The Chinese couple running the stall were quite enthusiastic in getting people to sample their fried chicken.

I ended up ordering the lamb soup ($16) and a large fried chicken fillet ($9). After paying at the counter and taking a pager, I got my order after another 5 minutes. The husband running the stall (I assume) explained, with the same enthusiasm as before, which chili oil was for the soup and which was for the chicken.

The lamb soup proved savory and flavorful without being too heavy. It was a touch oily, but easily cut with the bowl of rice. The soup contained plentiful protein, from lamb meat to stomach and other offal.

The fried chicken filet lived up to its name. The meat remained juicy and tender throughout, The breading was flaky and buttery. It had a softer texture to it. I quite enjoyed it, though I definitely was already full from the soup.

Overall, I would not have expected a food court stall to have such delicious food, especially one serving both fried chicken and lamb soup.
