Great Korean and Ramen option in the Orange area. We started off with the pork bao and they were…read morefluffy and pork was very well seasoned. We tried the fried gyoza and tasted homemade. We got the spicy miso and tonkotsu and both broths were a hit. They portions are large and the prices were very affordable. It looks like a small business with few staff.

Can't wait to come back and make another dent at the menu. This area needed some good ramen!

Located right in the heart of the Market 32 square (Quarry Walk), this spot is incredibly…read moreconvenient. The development there has come a long way over the last few years, making it a great destination for a quick lunch or a sit-down dinner. Plus, having plenty of parking in a modern, well-maintained square is a massive win--no circling the block looking for a spot here. While the name promises "Bao," I haven't ventured into that side of the menu just yet. Why? Because the Ramen is too good to pass up. The Meat Soup (Ramen) is my go-to. The broth is rich, savory, and clearly made with care. It's the kind of "fantastic" comfort food you want on a chilly Connecticut day. The meat is tender and the portions are satisfying. If you're in the Oxford area and looking for authentic flavors in a clean, modern setting, this is the place. It's easy to get to, easy to park, and the soup never misses.

I wanted their Signature JBC rice noodles, but wanted it with seafood instead. When I asked, I was immediately accommodated. I asked about the things used in making this noodle and the waitress explained well. Wood-ear mushrooms seem ubiquitous and they were made just right. We had some scallion pancakes with curry sauce. (My thought, the regular soy sauce would be better. May be my preference. ) The stir fried chicken noodle was quite good. The hot sauce on the side was quite spicy! Great experience. Good staff.

First of all the red oil dumplings is a new dish and it is incredible. That oil is something special and the dumplings best I've ever had. We ordered the addictive green beans this time so much garlic and cooked perfectly. They were great. We also had their version of street corn ..soo good! I could go on telling you about the good food, but you just need to get there yourself and order a bunch of stuff you will not be disappointed! Next step we need to try the New Haven location you guys are doing a great job!

I arrived on a Sunday afternoon in search of nourishment. I ordered a non alcohol cocktail which was not only beautifully presented, but tasted refreshing and delicious. I also had the spicy miso which hit all the spots: warm, flavorful, fresh, and so nourishing and comforting. I consumed all of the broth and was able to get additinal broth to take home with my leftovers for $7. Service was so friendly and accomodating...so great to have such a level of attentiveness and genuine good service. Excellent staff. The entire place, including the restroom was super clean. It was a bit too warm on my vist (but super hot outside), but that aside all else was super. Plenty of parking and also outdoor seating. I will be back for sure!

I love good onigiri, so I visited this quaint little island in the mall food court. Staff was…read morefriendly, but didn't seem very knowledgeable about the food they served. Cooling area looked clean. I got a triple onigiri combo. One was filled with kani, one with shrimp and one with raw salmon. I could choose either poke' sauce or teriyaki sauce. When I asked the cook what the poke' sauce was like, he simply said, "Teriyaki is sweet, poke is spicy." I opted for the poke' sauce, which was just your standard spicy mayo that goes on lots of American sushi. Right off the bat, the rice wasn't seasoned at all. It was just warm rice with little green laver flakes for color. No flavor in the rice whatsoever. Also, since the salmon onigiri had raw salmon in it, the heat of the rice partially cooked it, making the texture awful. The shrimp tasted off as well. The only one that tasted halfway decent was the kani, but I could have gone to any Asian restaurant in my area for a kani salad and it would've been a bigger portion and much more enjoyable. Needless to say, very underwhelming. Won't be back.
