Excellent food, great service, very short order-to-eat wait time! The traditional Bao and Bao burger were very good, the Bao noodles were great (they had a nice chew/bite to them). The only thing we didn't love was the fries covered in curry sauce (kind of like an Asian poutine). The flavors were good, but the fries were really soggy (as you might expect when they are drowning in sauce, but we didn't think that one through before we ordered it...).

There's a tiny bit of a wait for a table if you don't have a reso but totally tolerable (20 min on a Thursday evening), and you can put your name on the list and go grab a drink elsewhere. They'll call you when the table's ready. Note: there's a small charge to use a credit card.
