It's pretty good but very expensive for what you get. Not worth compared to other food options locally in my opinion

Very good buns filled with excellent fried meats and veggies. Very flavourful. Went on recommendation of friends. Located in basement of student housing. Lots of delivery people picking up.

The first time I tried to visit this place I physically couldn't find it and gave up.
Really run down interior and exterior with ripped cushions. Use to be cheap and cheerful seems like theres a change in management
Delicious in a word!
Anything and everything is quality with flavour and the time knowledge to create a beautiful meal!
The Bao and Baguette options are both excellent choices, add a tempting side, and enjoy!

Baos here are delicious!! Our favourite is the Dynasty Duck with lots of filling. The sweet potato fries are crispy and divine. Only drawback is that you have to walk by a garbage dump to get to it.

Came here for lunch - went for the 2 bao, a side and a drink option and was surprised when the bill came up to 34.7 bucks! Definitely on the pricey side.. however, the baos were surprisingly filling. Enjoyed The Great Chicken bao but the spicy pork bao was a bit salty for my taste. Did not have much room left for salad so took that home with me. For drinks - I had the peach tea salad which was quite refreshing. This place is worth checking out if you are in the area and looking for something a little different, but be prepared to fork out a bit more than you would expect for baos.

This place is very expensive for a “sandwich bar”, but the food is truly excellent in quality. The steam buns are soft and pillowy, and they are stuffed with generous portions of delicious ingredients. The pork, duck, chicken and beef options are all very well executed. A premium experience with a premium price tag, not your every day lunch spot.

First time trying this hole in the wall joint recommend by a friend. Would definitely come back next time I’m in the area.
5 spice belly bao was immaculately flavoured. Katsu bao was great as well with a minor hiccup - chicken was fried perfectly but it was a little too saucy and the sauce was a little too sweet. Sweet potato fries were slightly overcooked but were still good.
Nice ambience, friendly staff, and overall a good place to eat!

A bit expensive, its a hit snd miss, sometimes the sandwiches are juicy, and sometimes very dry.

Wow! Searched around for a takeout spot for dinner last night and this is what we decided on. It was SO delicious! We got a a Seoul beef bao, a Korean garlic chicken bao and the Seoul kimchi beef fries, it was plenty for 2 of us! We were absolutely stuffed and it was so fresh and flavourful.
Location was a bit tricky to find, seemed a bit sketchy but that is usually a sign of a gem!
We will be eating here again for sure.
Prices we great as well! Must try if you are in the Waterloo area.

The food was delicious and the chicken bao sandwiches are Halal. The place is hidden and you have to know where to look for it but it's definitely worth a visit.
