| - I'd like to officially thank yelp and my GPS for this find! This restaurant is more of a pass through between the chef and his little burners and you and a couple teeny, tiny tables, all located inside a sprawling beauty salon in a huge strip mall. They close early - like 7pm - but act like your Grandma and eat your dinner early, damn it!
The 3 Bao + drink (delish Italian soda) special for $10 is a steal for the fun, fresh uniqueness. I chose three different bao fillings:
- Peking Duck, complete with crispy skin, crunchy veggies and Hoisin sauce
- marinated chicken with cilantro and lime
- Pork Belly with cucumber, green onion and Hoisin sauce
Whichever I was shoving in my mouth at the time was my favorite. And the buns, so soft and squishy, were utter perfection.
I got to speak to the owner and his wife (?) while he was preparing my food. I told him yelp had brought me to him, and he said they're getting huge press from us and local papers (I just went on their website and saw they'll be closed for a week coming up for filming a TV show! Get in there now before the mad rush!!). Now that I've tried their bao, I can see why they've already got a devoted following.
