Trying the food at the primary location did not disappoint. The dough was soft, gently sweet, and so pillowy. The flavorings inside are absolutely delicious! As someone who really cares for vegetables, each one of the veggie bao has a big punch of flavor that I love! It's absolutely fantastic if someone is looking for excellent Chinese comfort food, especially during the chilly season (which is now).
Small soft bao, very tasty filling (not enough), not a place to ball on a budget. ~$10 for 2 bao. Probably need 4-6 bao to be a meal.
Unbelievably soft bao, very tasty filling, not a place to ball on a budget but it was well worth the price! Very fun atmosphere, see photos, and a decent variety to choose from. We both got combos with their iced tea and cucumber salads then shared a large order of their wonton soup, I also got one additional bao. Spent about $50 for the lot of it.
