I first ordered from Breaking Buns soon after they opened. I don’t like fast food and mostly make my own food as I’m a better cook than most. I was crazy hungry one night and they were open late. OMG!, I was served the Braised Beef Yakisoba and it blew me away. I have since ordered my dinner dozens of times and every time the food is amazing. I’ve tried other items, all wonderful but the braised beef is incredible and I want it on everything. It’s totally lean (no fat)...

I have to admit I am a bit of a food snob. When I taste a cuisine new to me I am looking for a great experience, anything less and I don't go back. Well, I have been back 6 times or so now!

Their flavors are very balanced and full bodied. I do not need any other seasonings at all. The people are friendly and attentive.

Regarding portion size, you can take your biggest eater and they will be quite satiated!

I ordered the Ota Tofu Bao without Szechuan mayonnaise, but it still had sweet soy sauce. However, I couldn't even taste it, so the bun was bland. Conversely, the Yakisoba was flavorful, but had too much onion. Updated from previous review on 2025-06-07
