What User likes about Gongfu Bao:

fried chicken bao buns are a concept that is made here. combine a cloud-like Bao bee and crispy taiwanese style salt pepper roasted chicken with a puppy game.

Had a great meal with my partner on a hot August night. We had the Tofu-Baro and both vegan salads. Loved the aromas and freshness.

The best bao, period. You are insane, not to seek it out and consume as much as possible.

These are outlandishly delicious baos! Tarek is an awesome and friendly guy! He makes his baos with love and joy.

They had one vegan option for dinner and it was really good. It’s a lot of interesting flavours that you don’t eat usually. Recommend!
