So today was grand opening day so we decided to check out the place during lunch. We've probably went on the wrong day because they weren't ready to serve a huge crowd. It's a fast food style resto. You go up and order and wait for your number to be called. Order taking was slow. Food took a while to come out. They definitely need some kind of microphone system because people could barely hear the numbers being called out.
We're order fish bao, pork belly bao, taro fries and kimchi fries. I'm use to huge portions for the price I've paid. Eating one bao for lunch is not enough. I would need at least 2 baos. The bao does taste good - in fact both the pork belly and fish was good. The pork belly was melt in your mouth goodness. The bao itself is fluffy with a slight sweetness to it. It was perfect. The taro fries in my opinion was pretty awful. It tasted like stale soggy fries. There was no crunch what so ever. The amount of dipping sauce provided was a joke. The kimchi fries on the other hand is much better.
The price tag for a bao is just under $5, so imagine order 2, that's like $10 just to fill your tummy. If you want kimchi fries, tag on another $6. There's so many other options in the area in that price range. At least right now they are doing a grand opening special of 10% off, so if you want to give it a try, you should go now.
Would I go back? Probably not, unless I happen to be not too hungry and I just wanted a snack for lunch.
