Kev is amazing! We stopped by to get something to eat and he blessed us with amazing food and a kind heart! We love bao buns. These are soft and the meat is seasoned with excellence.

I’ve seen nothing but good things, and they did not disappoint. I ordered six buns, and they were all delicious. My favorite was the mushroom bun and the pork belly bun, so good.

It’s hard for me to resist a Bao bun spot, so I wanted to try this one when we were at Union Market.

The pork and bulgogi bao was great, the chicken series was so so.

My husband and I tried a few different buns and they were all delicious! I definitely got full with the servings and 100% will be back for more!

The “spicy” fried chicken was soggy, overly sweet, and not noticeably spicy, and the pork “belly” seemed to be pork shoulder. The staff were very friendly and helpful, but the food was a let-down. Would avoid.

Bun’d up is nothing to write home about, the food is just alright–not good or great. The prices are a bit high for the quantity and quality of the buns. All in all, might be worth a visit if you’re really craving some baos, but I wouldn’t go back here.

Out of one I really wanted, but decent selection. Quick. Mediocre. Good presentation.

I’ve been coming here for years, and they never miss. Their pork belly with pineapple is disrespectful on so many levels (in a great way). They are always consistent, and their food is full of flavors. You get 3 buns for about $14 to $15 and they give you a good portion of protein. 20/20.

I was debating between 3 or 4 stars. The spicy fried chicken bao was decent, it had some good flavor but could have used more spice. On the other hand, the fried tofu bao lacked salt and spice completely. It didn’t have much sauce to it either, so it was kinda dry. I’m wondering if their other baos are better.
