Taiwanese tapas! This is what food made by Taiwanese hipsters is like! Creative takes on Taiwanese 小吃 (small eats) by people who actually care about Taiwanese food deep in their souls. The menu is hilarious. They have Taiwan Beer which is nostalgic to me. Come here for drinks and some snacks in good
The highlight for me was the peanut milk. It is so refreshing. The baos are very good and the fried chicken. The mushrooms were too salty. Small space but we were seated quickly without a reservation, so that was great!
The BAO that started it all - I remember the queue snaking around the corner just to get in just a few years back, which is luckily no longer the case - but do book in advance. While the food is still excellent, I can’t help but feel that success has dimmed this chain’s light.

I’ve been to the Borough Bao, and always wanted to go to the original. It’s exactly how I hoped it would be. Small and a great atmosphere.

$10 USD for ONE bao bun is absolutelllyyy
The baos were lovely and tasted authentic. They had a wide range on the menu. The waitress was also friendly and helpful. Only issue being that the tables and seats at the back are incredibly cramped and people cannot get through. I had to sit almost back to back with customers behind me.
