Holy crap we were out late and looking for something to eat on a Wednesday and never did we think where we would end up would be the coolest damn place ever. I saw open till 3am. That was enough for me. We arrived and this place had a decent crowd, tonight ended up being a "dirty bingo" host of bingos name was Kevin I think. My god was everyone was so funny. So energetic. The energy in this room was great. I just wanted some Bao and I left with so much more. Both people at the counter were so sweet and helpful in helping us decide what to order. Our food came out pretty quickly. We even requested if we could get the dessert slightly later than everything else and it was no problem at all! Bingo went on till midnight. So much fun. My friend even won a free shot for winning a game. 10/10 this place was cool as hell. Absolutely come here for game night. It was the place to be. We were in tears from laughing with how wild some people got.

The bao buns are absolutely delicious—soft, fluffy, and filled with flavorful ingredients that melt in your mouth. The boba tea is equally impressive, and a variety of flavors and allergy friendly milks to choose from. The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff are friendly, making the experience even better. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or settling in for a relaxed meal, this place is a must-visit. Five stars for amazing food, great service, and a delightful experience!

Extra delicious Bao buns, I ordered a combo to try the pork belly and shrimp tempura. They have yucca fries as well as potato fries. The decor is so cool with a scifi theme, you can have a Star Wars lunch! I found the parking garage on the back of the building for quick access.

Come here if you’re craving a delicious treat. Each time I visit this establishment, I eat until I’m ready to be rolled out the front door in a wheelbarrow. Everything on the menu is delectable. Highly recommend.

We were hungry after a concert at the Kia Center and found that this place was open late and a short walk away. Wow! Brussel Sprouts and crispy pork bao buns were amazing! The vibes and decor were great as well and service was quick. They were out of Boba tea because of the event before concert so would like to try it next time!
