Very cute Asian fusion fast food join opened up right next to PCC and across chick fil a. Opens late until 10pm. Indoor dining and clean restroom (require a code from receipt)Self-serve drink fountain and sauce (spicy mayo and spicy orange).Food comes out quickly :) except steamed ones which might take around 10min.Beef bun is surprisingly good. It is drizzled with spicy mayo and fluffy buns make it memorable.Chicken bites are crispy and tender, but less coating would be good.The spicy mayo sauce is comparable to the one you would get in a Japanese restaurant eating Karage chicken! There is a kick to it which I really like it.Parking in rear. Great service.Would like to try their dim sum items.

Decent place. Fast food dim sum with a bao bun twist to burgers and chicken sandwich. The bao buns are pretty good. A bit pricier than your usual fast food. Worth repeat visits though. Inside is clean and modern. There's street parking or a lot behind the building.

We visited here for the first time. Chicken doria is recommended because it contains a lot of rice and is cheap and delicious. When the burger is set, French fries, spring rolls and drinks are combined. Boba had a good tee. If you don't like being too sweet, halve the sugar and order. We will definitely come back here!

Their curry bun is very delicious and great. I also got (not shown here) their chicken sandwich and so good. The spicy mayo sauce is great with the spring rolls and even on the curry bun.This place deserves more customers as it is a great place to eat and so good. It's worth it. The service is nice and fast. The employees are nice. I wish this place is at Los Angeles and not at Pasadena. I come to this place as I attend PCC but so sad I won't eat here when I transfer out.This place is really good and so delicious. They have other drinks beside sodas but the soda and these buns and fries are so good. Definitely worth checking out this brand new restaurant.

I love the bao here !!! Especially the beef bun bun bao !! It’s made by angus beef ! So tender and juicy ! Better taste than normal Hamburger! Also the sweet fried York bao ! Be careful when you have a bite . The hot York will come out like lava < Its so yummy for dessert ! Highly recommend !!

Everything was delicious and super friendly menu and super friendly employees!!! Combos are huge and delicious....don't have a favorite yet, everything was so good. Tasted curry bao t bao, milk tea with boba, leaf wrapped dim...sooo good!! Totally going back again!! Family of four with big kids we spent 60bucks...splurged!

I like the crispy yolk bun very much. The dim sum is good too. The sauce is very flavorful, perfect match with the fried chicken. Will visit again.

First time comin, great crispy chicken bite with dipping sweet and spicy sauce. I like the Siu Mai here with house spicy mayo. Love this place . Highly recommend to my friends.

Crispy york bun with Salad is a Perfect pair for lunch! The service was quick. highly Recommend the crispy york bun! it is the best bun in town!

I’d give 0 stars if that were possible.**DISCLAIMER**This restaurant is using MISLEADING marketing. The coupon (picture included) advertises for "one free Bao with any purchase." What this actually means is that with your purchase, you get one piece of Bao, but not as it’s listed from the menu, each type of Bao (Teri, Curry, Pizza) sold with two pieces. That would’ve been fine, but I received conflicting explanations. First, I was told that the Bao I would’ve been offered was with vegetables, which I couldn’t find on the menu. When I went to the manager for clarification, he stated the daily Bao flavor was actually Teri.ConsThis casual restaurant is run unprofessionally.The staff and manager are smug, unhelpful, and rude.The customer service is shockingly bad.The logo is a RIP OFF of Disney/Pixar’s "Bao."It’s too pricey for the value of what you get!For a restaurant that opens at 7 a.m., it’s odd that the menu screens weren’t running at lunchtime (around 1 p.m.)ProsThe inside is pretty clean.Order1 each of the pizza and curry Baos (comes in 2 for $6.50).The curry is better than the pizza, which was terrible. I couldn’t even finish the pizza because it was so gross.FINAL THOUGHTSI don’t want to root against a small business during a pandemic, but this restaurant needs to get its act together or I doubt it’ll be here for long.
