Bao - Table reservation

This is the hole in the wall that was Noodle box, so it sits about 20 people. Decor does not seem to have changed much. Ordered some bao and a ramen. Bao were pillowy soft and all were delicious, we had the Taiwanese pork belly, pork meatball banh mi, and a black bean. Unless you are a bird, 3 bao are unlikely to fill you up and, and $12 for 3, things could get expensive. However, the ramen was big enough for two to share. Noodles were delicious, with a slight chew to them. Broth was rich and flavorful with a roasted, caramelised, and perhaps slightly burnt chilli flavor. The tofu is the only one I have ever had that I liked (I hate tofu). Absolutely exceptional. When we mentioned my wife was a vegetarian, they were only too happy to run through the menu and explain all the items that could be made as a vegetarian option. Overall, a fantastic lunch, and we will be back with the family to explore some of their other dishes.

Good service and great food. More of a fusion type of place, but the buns are similar to what you might find in certain taiwanese night markets. The buttermilk fried chicken bun and pork belly were very good. I shared a bowl of ramen and it too was very tasty. Only downside a little bit is the price, as it can be a bit on the pricier side, but the food is very good. I will be coming back again.

The best noodle dish I have had based on the flavourful combinations. A must try if you are in Victoria. Highly recommend the Pork Belly Spot Prawn Ramen. My girlfriend enjoyed the Korean Fried Chicken bowl with rice. Just the right amount of spice.
