When will you open back up? We miss the buns! :)

Edit for quarantine: they have a very clean, safe set up for pick-up with plexi glass and plastic, and a box with two openings to pay and retrieve your order. The food was still delicious (just be sure to get shaved noodles for the time being if you want them made in restaurant since the person who hand pulls the noodles is not currently working to reduce the number of employees in the restaurant). I work in a hospital and I was so impressed by their safety measures.This place is a must visit if you enjoy any form of Asian cuisine! They have so many options and everything is made from scratch and done extremely well. I especially love the ramen and bao buns. I have tried several flavors of each and haven’t had anything less than delicious every time. I have always been able to get two meals out of the ramen (it reheats well!) and everything is fairly priced. Definitely check it out if you haven’t!

Wow this restaurant is not doing dine in seating., It was still worth it my best friend and I ended up eating our noodles in the car and it was delicious Lee spicy and amazing. For the life of me I cannot recall what it was I just know it was a new dish it was beef with hand pulled noodles and chili sauce over the soup. The broth was amazing they even gave us extra chili sauce we want to increase the heat. We are definitely going back. We went on a Tuesday around 1230 it was not packed at all. There is another restaurant next-door that appears to be the same fanfare but they are not open yet. If you're even thinking about trying this place their pork buns were delicious with green onion inside and perfectly cooked pork.Are you planning on making a trip soon? You should be!

Food was amazing. Authentic and fresh. Got the pork bao, spam crepe, and chicken fried rice. My new favorite Chinese restaurant in Cincinnati, looking forward to trying more of their selection.Highly recommend!

I've yet to have a bad dish here. Everything always tastes super fresh too, so they're using good ingredients. If you want a sweet treat try something with red bean paste. Always a winner.

Amazing food, the Braised Pork bao were heaven. Fresh noodles were great too.Restaurant could be a little cleaner, especially toward the back of the house, but is clean enough for a great experience.

Amazing food. Very efficient, very authentic. Highly recommend the steamed buns. Very Covid-proof. Will be back for noodles!

I have been this place for a few years but really disappointed recently. They have all the ability and talent too cook good authentic Chinese food, BUT they always trying to stay away from the integrity and trying to invent some alternatives to save? time and cost. That based on the assumptions that people don't have ability to tell the difference from authentic recipes versus the cheap moking. This picture shows again that they reinvented pork Baozi from a lazy cooking methods. Maybe local American customers can not tell and may think it's okay. But the attitude keep find alternatives to fool people is bad strategies to do business.

Went during covid. Restaurant seems very prepared to handle orders safely for both customers and employees. Tried the braised pork and the pork and onion steamed bao and chicken fried rice. All were excellent. Order was very quick too. I will definitely be going back.

My husband and I ordered beef noodles and Roujiamo (Chinese burger) yesterday. We got disappointed, tho we like this restaurant a lot. Because of covid 19, this restaurant shut down for weeks. We waited for the yummy food for weeks. Finally they reopened up days back. We were so thrilled to order our fav food. But the quality was not good. The bread was hard with filled with less meat. Beef noodles, the worst order I made yesterday. We will not go there any more until they make any changes.

Oh Bao Bun Bowl, How do I love thee? Let me count the ways! Talk about your authentic noodle joint. Seriously, I took my super FOB Taiwanese mom there and she wanted to go back daily the entire time she was in Cinci visiting. If that isn't a testament for good food, I don't know what is. They're super accommodating, the food is delicious, and the place is comfy.

I was not educated about bao buns before going here. I went out on a limb, and it has become one of my favorite spots. Noodles, dumplings, and Chinese crepes... All great!!
