I was all amped up for Lucky Red, as a longtime fan of Banh Mi Boys. It's a little pricier and a little less impressive. It was considerably empty just before lunch hour, and has way more seating. The mural includes a rat riding a pig - there's a joke in there somewhere, but it's so goddamn humid out and I'm in no mood to find it. Also, there's self-serve sriracha, and I'm a fan.
I ordered a crispy fish steamed bao and a BBQ pork baked bao. Toppings were good but slightly overwhelming (just a proportion thing, I think), and it seemed like the steamed bao wasn't as moist and squishy as at BMB locations. Everything was fine, but there's definitely room for improvement.
Very tempted to try a dessert bao, and I don't live too far away, so I guess I'll go back.
