I must say, this is the most awkward set for a cafe/restaurant. It's located next to a smoke shop which is located right next tfo 21 Sushi. BUT you would still have a awkward time finding because it's located inside a hair salon which is the actual business next to the smoke shop which is next to 21 Sushi. AND there is merely a banner displaying below the salon which is half falling down. So, if you all these business's don't fret, you are headed in the right direction.
Walk into the salon that accommodates nearly no seating. So, be ready to get your food to go or sit in the car and eat it. Each Bao is over $3 and they are small. The flavor is merely ok, for my tastes. This is what we had:
- duck bao
- pulled pork bao
- pork belly bao
- chicken and rice bowl
- sesame noodle w/chicken (this dish was my fav but over priced)
- italian sodas (vanilla and peach) Most of us preferred the vanilla
All three bao's had very little meat. I am no bao connoisseur and compared their bao's to the Vietnamese tacos I've had at the Cheesecake Factory. The Vietnamese taco's are full of meat and much more flavor. Granted you only get pulled bbq pork as an option but I'd much prefer to have those. I really get that happy satisfying feeling after eating those...and I'm quite content after eating them, which was not the case for this place.
The service was impeccable. They explained what everything was and even how to eat to my brother. They messed one of my orders and then tried to give me someone else's. But they were so sweet about it. The messed up order ended up being a good mistake for my daughter. She preferred the pork belly over the pulled pork that we originally ordered.
The food wasn't bad, I've just had better. I don't think I would go out of my way to eat here again. But if I'm in the area I might pop in for the sesame noodle bowl w/ chicken.
