Absolute favorite restaurant in Cedar Park. Beef Steak Bao and Tom Yum Ramen are a great pair. The $2 beer is icing on the cake. But most important of all, the hospitality is second to none! Could not recommend this place enough!

Best Bao I have had in Austin. A casual atmosphere with cocktails. Easygoing place with an extremely serious kitchen.

Beef baos and garlic noodles were the meal to get. I added a side of kimchi for the baos and it was phenomenal. Beef was a sweet bulgogi style cooked and seasoned to absolute perfection. Noodles were simple but so full of flavor. I’ve never had bao, though it’s been on my radar for some time, I’m glad I popped my cherry with these. Topped off with a $2 dollar beer. 10/10 cheap street style meal. They will be seeing a lot of my face in the next few months while working in town. Food, beer and tip I was out the door at $16. I would pay much more for that meal!

Staff were less than helpful when ordering. Just told me I was doing it wrong. If I have to order online why should I have to register for anything? Just looking for a normal dinner out. Rib banmi was ok, Ramen was Poor at best but we liked the pot stickers. Over rated to say the least. Sad as it came hightly recommended.

I've been wanting to try this place since it opened and I finally did with my husband (and without the kids). My husband LOVED it... I've never heard him rave so much about a restaurant honestly. We both thought the food and drinks were delicious and well worth the fair (even cheap) cost. For food we ordered the Brisket Bao Tacos, Seared Ahi Tuna Bao Tacos, Beef Steak Tacos, Pork Egg Rolls, and for drinks we had the Ginger Smash, O Dalat, Green Pond Martini, Lavish Life, and the With A Passion. All absolutely delicious and different.
The service was great, there was one guy working (the managing partner but we never got his name) and he was so chill and personable, yet attentive, and on top of everything. I believe he said the owner, Tommy, was the other guy helping on occasion when needed.
The restaurant itself is kinda small, not too many tables which makes it feel not super busy although I think most tables were full by the time we left around 8:00 on a Friday night. There seems to be an outdoor patio but it didn't look set up or like anybody was able to order out there. We ordered by scanning a QR code on the table which makes it pretty quick and easy. I took off a star from the "atmosphere" category because personally I feel like the restaurant was 85% on point with design and aesthetics but then I felt there were some random design pieces or the bar top area was a bit too cluttered looking (ie the straws I believe were still in their original packaging just put out on the counter to use). Obviously that's my opinion and doesn't affect the overall feel of the place (and, like, my husband could care less).
I also wanted to add I feel like the website could use a little more info on things (like in the "about" section, gallery, etc.), any other pertinent info, or a non-wix domain name, but that's just me being a bit critical- I just feel with such great food, drink, and service the website could be done a bit more effectively to give the restaurant the justice that it deserves.
Overall, fantastic service, food, and drink for sure; we will be returning!

Ordered take out and it was nothing special. The baos look way different than what they present in the pictures. I know usually it should be a little different but it is like I didn't even recieve what I ordered. The pork belly was tiny and not charred. The steak was tasteless. Maybe we got them on a bad night?

Everything here was honestly exceptional! Both the food and drinks were super good and were very reasonably priced. It was a bit busy so everything took a little bit, but honestly I didn't mind. I can't wait until I have a chance to come back!!
Parking: They share a parking lot with a few other businesses, so space may be limited on busy days. Shouldn't be a huge issue though!
Good food, good drinks, good atmosphere. Someplace to discover and make your new place to go, worth the trip!

I visited the establishment on a Friday at 5:30 pm. It was not crowded, with only one couple and a family with two children present.
To place an order, customers are required to use the QR code provided on the table. This code directs them to the menu, where they can select and pay for their desired items using their phones. The staff member working at the time was friendly and managed both the bar and food delivery. It appeared that there was only one person in the kitchen handling all the cooking.
I ordered the Turmeric Chicken Bao, Pork and Veggie Potstickers, and the Passion Fruit Limeade. The Turmeric Chicken Bao I received did not resemble the image on the menu. I politely asked the young man if the dish brought to me was indeed the Turmeric Chicken, and he confirmed it was. I mentioned that it appeared different from the picture, but he insisted that they looked the same. I couldn't help but wonder if we were looking at the same image. Even my friend agreed that it didn't match the menu photo. The young man kindly offered to bring me a different dish, but I declined. I decided to try the Turmeric Chicken Bao anyway, but unfortunately, the chicken lacked flavor. I added a photo of what I got vs. what was in the picture.
The Potstickers were satisfactory, as they are a relatively simple dish to prepare. However, the Passion Fruit Limeade was truly delicious. The food was served in orange paper boats, and plastic cutlery was provided. The drinks were served in clear plastic cups.
