Gold Bao

First of all, the place looks nice and has a clean bathroom. While the portion on the popcorn chicken is small. It's what I think of when I think of popcorn chicken. It was crunchy and chewy. I liked it. The pork soup dumpling was okay. While it hits all the notes of one, it was quite lacking.

Must try!! I loved the bao’s here. Especially the Chicken one. Price is reasonable. Will be baock!!

When did the Alley get replaced?! Luckily, the restroom was not replaced, so I was able to use it after ordering. It was very clean and spacious. It did feel a bit awkward that I was the only customer on a beautiful Saturday evening. The decor is pretty, and there were many open seats for relaxing. I decided to get the Hawthorne drink and wagyu black truffle buns. For 4 buns to be only $9 seemed like a steal, but I should have lowered my expectations. Although the name was fancy, it wasn't good. It seemed like the filling was the usual pork and a hint of truffle oil. Combined with thick dough skin and virtually no soup juice, I didn't enjoy it. Perhaps I should have just stuck to original traditional flavors. The staff also didn't inform me that the buns took a while to make it, so I was w

I was sad when the alley closed but I’m not anymore. The buns were good and the staff were so nice! Reasonable price for the city. I’ll come back ^_^

Nice atmosphere and great bao, very crispy bao!! Strong truffle flavor if you get that one! . Recommend eat dipped in soy sauce! :) There a small bit of sitting room in the back too, altho the packaging is perfect for walking around and eating!! I ordered all the juices to try. I would not recommend the sea buckthorn berry flavor to first timers unless it is a flavor you know you like, which is kinda citrusy but with a Chinese dried fruit taste to it (if you know you know). The hawthorn juice was very good and I think most people would like it! White gourd is also a safe option it kinda tastes like a sweet tea but less sugary!
