Hot Asian Buns Reviews
I love Hot Asian Buns. We’re so lucky to have them here in Sanford! The service is always super friendly. The owner, V is literally the sweetest person ever. Very grateful to have some vegan options and I would be thrilled if they added one or two more :)
Delicious!! 😊
Everything about this place is absolutely phenomenal. The BEST Asian food I’ve had in Florida ever. I recommend it 100%
