    The restaurant/bar seemed well designed. The food took a long time to reach our table. And when it came out there were items missing. The taste was excellent. However, the portion was small. Especially compared to the old version of the restaurant's menu. They were also drinks, that was what made me think that this was a bar and that the food was just bar food. That would explain the portion size. Also, the price was way high. Overall I wouldn't come back. if it's just to eat, there are better restaurants at this price range. If it's just for drinks, there are better bars.

    This place is a joke!!! I've seen so many people go there (Gen Z) that I thought it was a super restaurant 😂 This place is a "wannabe" trending fusion restaurant which is just a mere design copy of what you can find in some big cities like Paris. London, New-York, Shanghai etc... Music is loud and food is overpriced for tiny portions. I feel sorry for Vietnamese people, to be satisfied with this level of wannabe "fusion food" restaurant. To be honest, my street food seller down my block cook better for 40k. Nothing original about the design, and food is a joke for the price asked. Ah yeah, you gotta pay 10k for the parking as well. 400k for a coke, a tra sua, a tiny crab in a bun (finished it in 3/4 bites, picture with my gf's hand) and a small bowl of fatty pork over some veggies and rice .... 🤣

    Great Taiwanese taste except a little space that look like a bar from outside. But, the foods and the service are nice. I’ll be back next time. P/S: for milk tea fans, the Baozi milk tea is must try

    Really enjoyed baozi. The atmosphere is very North American. They play good rap/hip-hop music. Atmosphere is perfect for a small group or even a date. The pork belly bao and the soft shell crab were delicious! The scotch eggs were good but very rich and filling. I wish I ate here once more before returning home

    We enjoyed our visit here - a cool space lit with red neon. The Bao buns were solid, especially the fried chicken bao. A good place to visit if you’re wanting a nice air conditioned space and some easy comfort food.

    Great atmosphere to chill and hang out with friends The Bao were ok, the crab one was by far my favorite and the most unique, the other Bao were good but nothing special I would go here for the vibes more than the food

    We went for dinner and ordered various items to sample from the menu. Scotch egg had the perfect jammy egg but was a bit too greasy for my taste. I also had the same problem with the soft shell crab bao. The char siu bao was decent but the best bao was definitely the BBQ pork with its flavorful, juicy grilled pork. However, it was unanimous that the best thing we had was the shrimp wonton. Fresh big chunks of shrimp encased in thin wrappers cooked to perfection, retaining that satisfying chew. These delicious morsels were topped with crispy bits of fried garlic and served in a lip-smacking sauce. Freshness from the herbs and spicy kick from the chili oil really perfected this dish.

    As far as this being a must try place... no. If you can find the same items elsewhere, might be better there. Still wasn't bad, but considering the cost... I've never had a lòng đào bọc (Scotch Egg), if that's a real Chinese/Taiwanese thing or not, Idk. That was alright. It tasted like a phở meatball with an 80% hardboiled egg. Size is alright, but you're paying 65K ($2.65) for one meatball. Cánh gà sốt mắt (sesame wings) were also an item I was really interested in. For 125K ($5.10), they initially tasted alright, but there wasn't enough sauce. Actually, they didn't provide any extra sauce on the table (looking out the window) or bring any out for me at all. I wanted to try a bao (steamed dough dumpling). Here, they make them into sliders with a bao as a bun. The concept was interesting. I tried the pork belly, costs 70K ($2.85). It's Taiwanese style pork. Cubed with a little pickled veggies. It's pretty small. Did not taste like Korean pork belly at all. When I ordered it, the lady said it's 2 for 1 *if I tried the chicken... and paid the chicken price. I consented. That one is 90K ($3.65)... it turned out, I liked the chicken better. It's just a fried piece of chicken, a little bigger than the pork belly. With the 5% service fee and 8% VAT, my bill was ₫317,520 ($12.95). I wish there would have been any sort of sauce to add to the baos. As a kind of fancy place, your date will probably love it. To try some fusion Chinese/Taiwanese, it's interesting. There's better options for 300K, if you're a JAG and just want some food. Other reviewers stated they had to oay parking, I heard him say something - I didn't understand, obviously... I pulled away slowly, and he didn't chase me down for money. *I went in early evening. It was getting dark, and there was low-light for the pics.

    Came here the first day after Tet holiday. It’s crowded. Luckily, we booked table in prior, but we still wait a bit to have a table clean. There’s lack of labour force, staff couldnt cover all stores, they stop open the area on floor. It also doesnt have not enough space for bike parking.The service fee was added abit higher than normal day 😅

    Quán ăn nhỏ nhắn xinh xắn. Nhân viên được đào tạo bài bản. Về món ăn đây là quán về ẩm thụac Đài Loan nên khá nhiều dầu. Tuy nhiên về vị mình đánh giá ngon. Ở đây có món trà sữa baozi rất nên thử. Vì ở trung tâm nên giá cả ở mức trung và cao.

    Absolute must in HCMC!! Go there and get all the Bao Buns. Stuff your face with it. Get full. Then order more! The food is amazing, the place is nice and comfortable, the music is chill. I loved every minute of it and I’m going to go back 1, 2 or 3 times before I leave HCMC!

    Overrated restaurant. Music is always too loud. The food are ok, the potion is small, don't believe the dishes name since theirs wonton is not wonton. The best thing about this place is milktea, and the crab bao was decent. Cool vibe overall.

    Trải nghiệm tệ và không quay lại nha. Bánh bao khô không khốc và nhạt nhẽo, vỏ bánh khô. Mì thì đầy dầu mỡ và cứng như chưa chín. Huhu nhưng mà mình đói quá cộng với tiếc tiền nên vẫn phải cố mà ăn 😭Quan trọng là với giá tiền này ăn được rất rất nhiều quán ngon worth it hơn ý. Food styling của quán cũng chán nha, nhìn bát mì bưng ra trông như bị ăn dở hay gì á. Thật sự thất vọng vì brand này và nếu có người thân muốn ăn thử thì mình sẽ ngăn cản ngay và luôn Cộng thêm việc gửi xe mất 10k? Trong khi trống rất nhiều vị trí để xe trước quán nhưng lại cho nhân viên để và để xe khách cách hằn 1 con đường để làm tiền hở??? Rồi thu phí dịch vụ 5% (chưa kể 8% VAT) Đi ăn về mới lên đọc thì nhiều đánh giá 1* và trải nghiệm tệ giống tụi mình ghê =))))

    The waiter is good. The beef scallion was so delicious till I went to do the payment, all the good taste was vanished cause the cashier attitude. Somehow when I do bank transfer QR scan, it doesn’t flow correct amount so I have to type myself. The cashier is using a “what the hack are u doing” face looking at me and even cannot speck English to explain to me what is her suggestion, just her face specking. Don’t let a good taste restaurant ruine from a bad attitude cashier. Not worth it.

    Ordered the crab fried rice and char siu bao that was recommended by the waitress. The fried rice was good but the bao was average. Service and atmosphere is good.

    They have many location but the one in Hai Ba Trung is the best place. The music and lighting in Thao Dien location are uncomfortable but beside that foods are great - especially the Baozi milk tea

    Loved the interior of this place. 😍 the food wasnt bad but the Banh Bao Xa Xiu (pork buns with char siu sauce) size was like 3 bites only but it tasted delicious!!! I hope they make the size a bit bigger!!! The Mi Bo Dai Loan noodles tasted great too!

  • 4/5 Khanh T. 2 years ago on Google
    The food is a bit overrated. Crab bun was decently good. Hong Kong chicken wings weren’t as impressive as many people say, they were slightly raw inside and salty, not spicy as introduced. Scotch egg was ok. The overall price is higher than many places due to the location I guess. My mouth got numb after trying 2 dishes and the rest tasted the same to me: fat and salty

    One of our favorite places to dine out. The food was a bit pricey but worth it because they were delicious. Ambience was great with lots of pop culture arts displayed around. Nice place to hang out with friends and family.

  • 1/5 Carmen M. 2 years ago on Google
    No food safety and poor service. The pork in the bao was uncooked and they still charged me for it even though I returned it to the kitchen. They also sat us under a dripping AC and after we moved they kept sitting people in the same place so we had to keep telling them about the issue.

  • 4/5 Hậu Trần T. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice and warm restaurant. Delicious and various dishes, fast service, I like the dumplings and eggs wrapped with meat. The parking place quite small so it would be better if u catch a grab to here.

  • 2/5 A C. 2 years ago on Google
    Not really real Taiwanese food; we had the chicken bao which was average and left us feeling sickly. Taiwanese beef noodles were way too sweet and texture of noodles a bit overdone. Milk tea was good but also sickly. Pork belly rice was fine. My friend asked for the bill and our waiter so clearly heard us and ran away. No points for service.

  • 4/5 Giang N. 2 years ago on Google
    The food is good, you must try their signature on the menu. The design looks warm. They don't have a big table for a big group. You should call to make reservations during the high season to avoid the long queue. The security will help you to drive your motorbike to parking areas, price is 10k/ bike.

  • 5/5 Hailee 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious food and great service. Been here for 2 times and satisfied both times. Toilet is nice too :) Only minus point is the 10k VND parking fee, considering the parking area is right in front of the restaurant 🤔

  • 4/5 K. C. 1 year ago on Google
    Some dishes are really ok. You should try dumpling, scrab, noodle and milk tea. The space is not comfortable though but it is a good restaurant to try

  • 5/5 duchess a. 1 year ago on Google
    Good Taiwanese food. We didn't get the chance to have their best seller but atleast all food were decent one. I think food are shareable in order for you to take a chance to taste everything on their menu. Dumplings is a must
