I like big buns and I cannot lie

The buns are huge — seriously, big and pillowy in the best way — and everything is made fresh. I love that it feels like a full meal, especially for the price. There aren’t a ton of protein options but what they do offer hits the spot. I’m eyeing their dessert bao (red bean!) and really want to try their noodle soup next time.

A couple notes: it’s not super clear on the menu which items are vegan, and some options feel more nutritious than others, but overall, everything is delicious. The space has plenty of room to sit and eat, so it’s great for take out or dine-in.

Would definitely come back. Big buns, bold flavors, and a good lunch swap any day. 🥟🍜

Pros: Made Fresh to Order, Big Space, Not Busy, Great Location

Cons: Only Vegetarian Specified
