Nice, intimate location. Food was served fast and fresh. The drinks could’ve been stronger. I like their setup — you just scan the QR code to order, and your meal comes right to the table.
If you're looking for savory, flavorful and tasteful food, this is the spot for you. The place is small, but the service in the atmosphere is just right. It was my first time there and I was very impressed with everything. I definitely recommend this place :-D
Amazing experience here, even with a full restaurant they got food out so quickly and everything was delicious. The chicken 12 pc was great, the spiral potato item with wasabi sauce on it was SO GOOOOD. All of the dumplings we tried were very flavorful, loved the pork and chive. Would definitely come back.
I'm not a big fan of Chinese cuisine, but I really liked this place! The waiter was friendly and unobtrusive, he brought drinks and dishes quickly. The food was delicious and not extremely spicy. I especially liked the cucumber dish! Beer is sold here only in bottles, there is no draft beer. The prices are very affordable, I recommend this small, quiet restaurant to everyone!
I love Mr. Bao;!!!the service was quick and excellent. My friend and I ordered the rice bowl; the 48hours galbi beef was fantastic, and the popcorn chicken was delicious too. I'll definitely come back to try other things.
A friend and I decided to have a quick dinner and settled with something simple. The popcorn chicken was fresh and had a nice crispness to it. The dumplings were super yummy. A good spot to hang with friends and eat.
Such an amazing experience, the staff was super kind and food super quick ! The food was delicious
