Description

For the bao, options like the spicy chicken and crispy tofu stand out, with the tofu version holding its crunch well. If you order the Taiwanese beef noodle soup, do not be fooled by the bowl size; the portion is surprisingly heavy and filling. Diners looking for strict authenticity note variations in traditional preparation—the pork belly bao, for instance, swaps cilantro and peanut powder for green onions and crushed peanuts. It is a straightforward spot best suited for a quick, stomach-filling meal.
