Great light and fluffy bao, in all different forms. In a mini food court setting, so there are also other amazing desserts and foods right next to it. Kind staff.

I haven't even tried the buns yet. I was so impressed with the iced coffee that I had to come here and gush. I got it sweetened and it comes with coffee iced cubes. It didn't taste strong but I was wired all day.

Just get their nikuman (bao). I’d skip their bowls. But their Nikuman is just mind blowing.
