Super cool, hip spot in the east end that does a delicious bao! They also have cool house made canned cocktails.

We didn't eat but had a lovely time at the Chef's table! I loved the vibes and the staff were so welcoming and lovely throughout the evening. They made great drink suggestions and we enjoyed ourselves so much! Will definitely be back!

An eclectic bar with wonderful small bites where the ahi tuna tostada is the star. The wonton wrappers are delightfully airy and crisp, which somehow support the generous portion of ahi tuna piled high and marinated with a well-balanced soy yuzu sauce that brings a burst of tangy umami. The avocado adds a wonderful creamy bite and is topped with nori flakes and chilli peppers. The Taiwanese baos were also popular, easy to pick up and bite with some nice flavours. The chicken is crisp and juicy and slathered in an umami-rich gochujang sauce that's balanced with the pickles. The pork adobo is braised low and slow to render out the fat so it melts in your mouth.

A very special spot - dropped by for some late night drinks and some food. All the cocktails are great. Only got to try some of the bao buns, but they were perfectly light and fluffy and delicious. Johnathan and the rest of the bar staff were fantastic.

Don't answer the phone, how the hell do I figure out if your kitchen is open?

Cool bar, great cocktails, sick music.

Great vibey place, love the patio in the summer, and inside there's always colourful lights. Bao are so good, and the bartenders are happy to make whatever drink you want (even non alcoholic)

Nolan, Jon, and the guy in the kitchen are the best people. They turned a mediocre night into a great one. Can’t wait to come back. ETA: Ruben is also the best people.

Always our go-to place when we want to go for drinks. The service and atmosphere are always friendly and vibrant. The staff are very welcoming and always check in. On top of having good drinks the food is also delicious. It's great that they are open late as well and their kitchen stays open pretty late too.

Absolutely fantastic! The chef and the serving staff were absolutely top notch. An incredible shout out to the wonderful chef that took care of my severe food allergies to nightshades and handcrafted. A wonderful beautiful tofu salad. The flavors were crisp and amazing. Just the care and detail I could n't say anything negative about my experience at this wonderful little establishment drinks were absolutely fantastic. The care and detail and presentation of the other food that was presented to our table was amazing. Thank you for a wonderful evening and can't wait to come back!

Knowledgeable and efficient bartenders, including a certified Sommelier in house on a daily basis. The asian-fusion food menu is as well curated as it is executed. Highlights include the Bao Burger and Fausto's Chicken. Half price wine bottles every Sunday.
