This was my first bao experience and it was very enjoyable! The best part was the wonderful friendly service. The owner had the biggest smile and seems to love her job. I also appreciated her sticking with me as I work on my french at restaurants.
I went with the pork buns which were served with a very generous portion of meat and topped with shallots, crunchy onions, and sesame seeds. The meat was very flavourful although I didn't find the toppings added much. I would have liked some cilantro (perhaps because I am obsessed with cilantro!) I found the bun itself to be very fresh and delicious.
I also ordered the marinated cucumber salad which I found FANTASTIC (maybe because it had cilantro?) I highly recommend trying this! And the owner was very smart to make sure I was not allergic to peanuts while I was ordering.
Two buns plus the salad was plenty of food but, as others said, the food is not cheap. But this is a great new local place that I definitely want to support, so I will be back!
