Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many enjoyed the plum sauce and overall taste, though some found the flavours lacking or unexciting.
  • Ease of prep: Most found it simple to prepare with little clean-up, but a few mentioned it took longer than expected.
  • Suggestions: Several recommend basting the sliced meat in sauce for more flavour. Consider serving with pork belly instead of beef.
  • Portions: Some felt the bao buns were too small for the fillings, while others found the overall serving size generous.
  • Texture: Several noted the beef was tough or chewy; cooking to medium-rare and resting well may help tenderness.
