Meh! I suppose if you've never had bao buns freshly made you may have a much different viewpoint, but I grew up with these in Los Angeles. First, the buns are their most successful product. We thought the rice bowls were underwhelming and more akin to a frozen dinner with fresh, underseasoned rice. Flavors were too delicate for a bowl, but were most likely adapted from the buns. Pot stickers were ok, but without a dipping sauce, they should stand on their own and knock my socks off. The bao buns, while seemingly soft and pillowey, lack that authentic woodsy smell from the bamboo steamers. I would imagine that is a result of the parchment paper on the bottom and I suspect they were previously frozen. In addition, compared to on point bao buns, I would say the dough wasn't formed fast enough and over-proofed. Meat to bun ratio is off. Aside from my bao bun snobbery, the cheeseburger bao purchased for a toddler was plain gross (think hamburger helper).
I'm never a fan of delivery...I like my food hot and straight out of the kitchen. This is delivery only...a "dark kitchen." That means no physical presence for you to pick it up...they lease a small space from and existing kitchen. I'm not singing DD's praises. read more
