Can't say I was expecting much, but it was something on the healthier side (maybe).
Waited in line and was notified that any rice plate items will take a considerable amount of time since they ran out of rice and are making a new batch. Definitely needs to step up on food management I think to avoid long lines and disgruntled customers.
That aside, the bao buns come in pairs and the most disappointing part is that the crispy pork belly option is the same price for the tofu option. I honestly thought there would be a different by maybe fifty cents, but they were the same.
To see if there was a difference, we ordered one of each and we thought the bao buns are average. Has some flavors to it, but I doused mine with their garlic chili sauce to intensify the flavors. The pickled items in the bao buns are barely pickled and just had a nice crunch to them. The tofu are fried tofu, but doesn't have a crunch to them at all since they were doused with a sweet-ish sauce. In each tofu bao bun, there were either 4 or 5 pieces of square tofu that spans the bao bun and for the crispy pork belly, there were 1/2 slices (not terrible thick, but more on the thin side) that spans the bao bun. Hard to say it's worth the price, but it was something to snack and eat that is on the less pricier side.
All in all, something to have if you don't want American. Not the best there is, but definitely not the worse I've had. Their garlic chili sauce was quite nice and I would recommend giving that a try if you like spicy food. read more
