Everything about this place was great, but just not the best. The Banh MI and the kimchi poutine were absolutely delicious (although a little too oily) and the seasoning used on them was excellent. We also loved the sliced pickled cucumbers in our sandwiches.The location was not so easy to find, and the smell of oil still lingered in our clothes hours after we left the place.With all being said, I'd still recommend the place, preferably for takeout orders.

It’s a bit hard to find but the food is well worth it. I stopped in for a late lunch and had their combo dish - Two Baos and a side (salad for me, I was feeling my bones). The food was fresh, piping hot and absolutely delicious - wonderful for a cold March day. Would definitely recommend.

The food is so good! I always get The Great Chicken on a bao bun and the kimchi fries, and I couldn't recommend them enough. Hands down my favorite place to eat in KW, I come by every time I'm in

I think the prices were raised slightly? Still 10/10 amazing. Everytime we go to kitchener we go there. All the baos are delicious, the kimchi fries are delicious, the iced coffees are delicious. Well worth it imo.

Super good baos! Great service but the place is a bit run down. Needs some maintenance in terms of seating. The flavors are pretty good! Great halal chicken options :) parking is a pain so keep that in

Food was tasty, but the bao bun got soggy quickly as takeout. Too bad given the expensive price. Still, the food was very tasty. Hard to find the entrance.Parking: I street parked for free around the corner. No parking at the storefront which seems to face a pedestrian walkway
