One of the places you MUST try for lunch while in Auburn!!! Be aware that their hours are limited (Wed-Sat 10-2 and Friday dinners) and although the line may seem long, IT MOVES QUICKLY AND IS WORTH THE BRIEF WAIT! Also, the menu changes daily, so keep an eye out on Instagram where they post the menu in the post captions the evening before service. I highly recommend ALL of the bowls. This place is run by the sweetest family and caring staff. The food is always fresh, unique, and flavorful. Go give them a try!!!

Good food, but hours are inconsistent. I’ve been by more times when they are closed than when they are open.

Terribly expensive. They cater towards college students but If you get 3 bao (the recommended amount by the employee) and ONE side along with a drink, it will run you around $25. All for food that is just okay. No complimentary water. This place accepts tips but does not give any to the employees. This is not advertised anywhere. I hate that people think they're helping out college kids working at a restaurant by tipping for their service. Nope. My brother said he saw a child sitting on the counter in the back where food was being made in a dress. Only redeeming quality is the owner is nice.

The artichoke spinach dip spring rolls and cheesecake egg rolls are an almost religious experience. In some cases, they are accompanied by a divine light and angelic chorus.Vegetarian options: There are solid vegetarian versions of standard menu items, like the bBang Bang Cauliflower bowl, and strong vegetarian options, like the Asian Street Brussels.Kid-friendliness: The music is always clean, and the atmosphere is cheery and inviting.

Amazing food. The bang bang shrimp and buffalo dip bao are fantastic.
Food is amazing especially when you are looking for something different. Service is friendly and quick. They do an amazing job of getting people in and out quickly. The atmosphere is the best! Friendly employees with the best owner in town. He is there to greet everyone and gives back to his community. Follow on instagram, you might see yourself there!

I love this restaurant, the food is incredible and everyone is very friendly. It's exciting how the menu changes constantly and not knowing until day before what they are serving. Anything with the Nashville hot chicken and bang bang shrimp are my favorite.

There will never be enough praise for this place! I have been eating here for I think close to 3 years now and I've NEVER had something I didn't like. Their food is a beautiful combo of traditional cuisine and fun comfort food. I used to go multiple times a week, but sadly life got busier and I only get to go every few months now. It never ceases to brighten my day though when I do get to go! Whitley (the owner) is an AWESOME guy and is such a joy to be around, always has a smile and a hug/fist bump ready for me when I walk in. It's been so fun to see the place become what it is today and I can't wait to see how far it goes!

Irritable bao is definitely a staple of the auburn community. For the limited hours they are open, people line up to order from the rather limited menu. I love a daily menu, and don't need a ton of options, but I'm vegan and most of the time I've gone they don't have a bao option I can eat. The Brussels are really amazing tho, and when someone gets take out that's my go to. I've got to admit, at least for me, there is an off putting vibe in the place. I think it's the hyper charitable staff and advertising. Kinda that southern Christian mission trip energy. Totally cool with it, but I always get thrown off when the owner runs around a restaurant being besties with everyone. For some that's their favorite part of the experience, but it is a good thing to know what you're walking into

got food poisoning and a very rude customer named kais couldn't stop bothering me about the food
