Curry beef, pork katsu, and pork belly were all very dry and tough. Korean chicken and shrimp were decent. Everything had too much sauce and made it messy to eat. Pretty slow service and we had to wipe off our own table from the previous guests.
I came here years ago and revisited today, the food quality is amazing just like I remember. 10/10 stars to the honey walnut shrimp bao. Highly recommend!!!

The food was delicious but I don’t like tipping someone just to take my order. Isn’t that their job. The guy who brought the food should be tipped not the one taking the orders.

I have passed by this place for 2 yrs and always wanted to try it. Not what I thought it would be, ordered the pork belly had no flavor and smothered in suace that made the bun sticky and slippery.

Always love this spot. Food is on point and unique, atmosphere is casual. Wish there were more in Houston, but until then hen we’ll keep making the trek here.

I was honestly disappointed by this place. Every dish especially the pork belly bowl dull and plain — no seasoning, no creativity, and absolutely no flavor. It felt like someone forgot that food is supposed to taste good. The menu sounded promising, but what came out was uninspired and dull. Even the dull zero effort presentation couldn’t make up for the lack of taste. I’ve had more enjoyable meals at fast-food spots. Honestly, you’d be better off grabbing a burrito from Chipotle or a burger from McDonald’s for the same price. For the price of lunch, this restaurant was a total miss and not worth revisiting.

This spot has been around for some time, A real sleeper in the Houston food scene. A large variety of Bao. Love taking people from out of town here. Staff is very help and friendly

Cute little place with lots of flavorful options. They're small, so you'll want 2 or 3.
Do beware if you have a Sesame allergy, as my husband's options were limited.
Curry Beef was great for us both!

⚠️OINK-O-RAMA⚠️ So much yummy variety of Bao; though closer to an open face version than the dumpling style many are accustomed too; Vivé la Différencē!
Saturday evening 10.27 & within an hour of closing I was nicely greeted and quickly served a Fish, the Korean Fried Chicken & the duck Bao.
Fish was the stand out, KFC was really good and absent the fish would be my face... the duck was delicious and had no obvious flaws but somehow felt less than the sum of its parts (?), still worth a go if fowl is your thing + very meaty.
RECOMMENDED!
