Rayna: I got a bunch of buns (bao) here which were amazing! They have awesome scallion pancakes that are not on the menu, ask for them!!
Vallyri: The bao buns are nice and fluffly. Id go for the soups though dan dan dont have as much depth of flavor.
Ricky Sherrill: What a spot! I went in to grab some takeout to eat in my hotel. I asked what's good? I got a smile & asked if I was hungry. I was handed 2 bags of food. Got a nice sample of the menu & will be back.
Jeremy Garber: Incredibly affordable bento boxes for lunch, including soup, salad, California roll, and tempura or teriyaki. So much food for so little money.
