Tucks and Bao have been on my visit list since they first opened, but somehow it’s taken me three years and my favourite Swedes coming home for me to finally take the leap. I ordered the BAO Boy and Andrey ordered the Cheese Bao-ger. I honestly had such mixed expectations coming into Tucks and Bao and was pleasantly surprised with what I found. The Bao Boy was absolutely delicious, the shrimp were 10/10 bangers. They were crunchy, seasoned to the nines and gave off a lowkey caramelised vibe which I loved. The sriracha mayo was a beauty and I would happily bathe in her and all her glory (but like seriously, sriracha anything is such a yes for me if done well). The buns were fluffy and could 10/10 bounce back from anything (one day I hope to be as resilient as the mighty Bao). I loved the fresh salad and the generous amounts of lettuce 😋😋 The guy who was working was actually the best. V// chilled and pleasant to interact with (he also gave off the coolest vibes and had such an aesthetic). I will most certainly be returning to Tucks and Bao many more times in the future, so stay tuned and let’s get a comprehensive understanding of their menu together 💪🏼🦑
Really nice service, super accommodating too. Every time I've been here it's been a pleasant time. Food is also pretty good. Tucks > Baos though. Sometimes the food takes a while to come out so don't come if you're in a hurry.
Do not recommend the Korean coleslaw... the hulk is a better vege dish
Great food and awesome service! We were the last ones to leave the restaurant on a Tuesday night and David was very accommodating to our needs. Will definitely be back again.
Great place and the service was really good.
Great food and lovely service!!
Great place. Not that busy when we came in. And the service was really good. Love the spicy chicken wings. Worth trying if you are a gold member.🤩
This place is amazing, have great taste of food and lovely staff. Definitely be back to try some more options on the menu.
This place is awesome, let us in the pub area as it’s getting cold outside with our little dog, he also bring my dog some water and a bowl of cooked chicken meat! Our food is great and tasty as well, even though it’s Christmas Eve, they still accept zomato gold!
Honestly it makes such a big difference to be served by nice staff! I would recommend this place in a heartbeat! 👍🏻
The Baos was so tasty... definitely I will come back to this place
I came here not too long ago for the first time and I really enjoyed the food. The calamari was thick but small pieces and was really yum. The boneless chicken was real good but the star was the pulled pork bao. Delicious insides and lovely soft bao. There were a couple of things that could be better such as being given napkins earlier as the bao (all the bao my group had) did have liquid pouring out and we had to go get our own napkins. Also there was no dessert available as nobody told us the microwave was broken before we ordered so we waited a little while for nothing. I would still recommend visiting though. Beware of parking as there isnt much available outside but there are a few parking garages close by.

Date night at the Newmarket @tucksandbao last night! We ordered to share and between us we ordered the sweet and spicy chicken noodles, wok this way and mr chips. First off the chicken was amazing! Literally blew me away as it was perfectly cooked and the sweet and spicy sauce which kind of resembles the well known sweet and sour sauce that you usually see in asian restaurants was the right level of hotness (not mild but not rip off your tongue hot) and the noodles were the right texture as they were not too hard and not too soft. The wok this way (fried rice) was perfectly fried as I found it had the right amount of oil in it so it was not greasy at all and the chicken was cooked well and so was the broccolini was so so good that I had to steal it from my bf 😏. The side of chips (Mr chips) we got was amazing and was not too salty and was cooked in the right amount of oil which is defo a plus because I do not like overly greasy food so this was so good! Overall service was excellent and the staff member that served us was very friendly. This is the first time I have given a 5 star but honestly 5/5 and I am definitely coming back here again 😍!
Nice place to have drinks with snacks. Please snack on the chicken nibbles they’re yum. Only would pick a bone with the price of the bao’s vs size.
Grabbed some snacks between lunch and high tea. Ordered pork belly bao and bao boy(fried shrimp) with my friend. Liked their sauce and filling in the bao. Liked their blue tone decor as well. Staffs were also super friendly to help. Great value with Zomato gold!! Nothing to complain about.
Yummy but a bit overpriced
Loved food, staff was very friendly n willing to go beyond to help.
A great venue for a small family birthday celebration..
Love the taste of each dish represent a unique asian recipe. A must try restaurant for everyone ! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Everything we ordered was absolutely amazing!!!!
Would definitely come back here again!the only problem was that the waiter forgot to give us the water we asked for and didnt give us plates when she probably could've guessed we'd be sharing.
Very impressed with this place. Greeted with a smile and loved the rustic but clean and comfortable decor. We ordered: the Bok Bok Bao which was excellent - light and fluffy with honest flavours that wasn’t overpowering. Miss Piggy was yummy - sticky roasted pork with a perfectly contrasting vermicelli salad. The Hulk was a great green vege stir fry that was both healthy and tasty - who knew that was possible?! And a freakshake to satisfy the sweet tooth in me.
Food came very quickly and the service was excellent. If you’re after a meal with genuine food in a relaxed and enjoyable environment, definitely give this place a try.
Service was ok, booking great, my only complaint was the salt on the fries. Way too much of it, that it made it so hard to eat. Not great to end the night but overall, it was ok
Nice decent place for a meal. Friendly service. Fried rice was good. Full of big pieces of meat. The ribs were sweet and a little hint of heat. Fall off the bones.
Hey! Spent a great evening last week 16/7/19 at the NEWMARKET Tucks and Bao with our team and some guests. Big group for dinner but really well managed by wait staff over the night. Food was primo, pork belly everything - Bao, sliced in Asian salad etc. Shout out to Garage Project Pernicious Weed was tops! Good match for the food. Busy night and good vibe throughout... And managed to make smoky eyes with someone who made the whole dining experience go to a whole new level. Hoping she will read this and get in touch... long shot I know but worth a try. Thanks Tucks and Bao for an unforgettable night, food, atmosphere and potentially another visit together with this girl in green...X
Peace and love y’all! TK.
Went for lunch in a Saturday. Very quiet and easy to get a table. Lacked a little atmosphere, but that could have been due to the lack of people. We both had the Wok Bowl. Good size and great taste.

It's been a while since we've been to this corner of Newmarket and it's our first time at Tucks and Bao. It was quiet and unassuming with a nice airy space at the back of the restaurant. J ordered the Bok Bok which is their signature fried chicken with truffle mayo sauce in a steamed bao bun. I had the pork belly bao and it was so meltingly delicious. We shared a plate of fried chicken and guess what? We polished it all off - super moist and juicy, best fried chicken I have had for a while. Best of all, they are gold partners with @zomatonz and with the 1 +1 deal, it meant that we had one of the dishes for free!! #goldhiddengems.

Went for dinner using zomato gold, good value for money! The green veggies dish was really good and so was the pork belly bao. The fried chicken wasn’t as great. We weren’t fans of the batter specifically. The staff was very friendly. Would like to go back and try more things off the menu :).
Meh was expecting a larger serving size lol. But i love the idea of this resto as they really do make mixed asian flavors and people plz order filo sauce stuff u wont be disappointed
The food was delicious, the staff were super friendly and it was such a nice place to dine. Would definitely go eat there again. The meals are worth the price you pay.

We celebrated our MAY birth month with my friends, they accomodate us even without prior booking. Nice place to catch up with friends. Very accomodating and friendly staff. Will definitely will come again.
We love the food and service here! The Belly Bao is a must-try, as well as The Prawnbroker and the Wings of Fire. They serve their beer really cold, which is absolutely perfect. Staff is really accommodating. Will definitely come back.
We had our Mothers Day dinner here last night. First time for myself and Mum and we were impressed with the service first and the food was all very fresh and tasty. Mum uses a walker and as soon as the young man saw us approach the door he rushed over to make sure she could get through the gap and found a suitable table for us all. The only problem we had all night was not being able to fit all the food in. We certainly gave it our best shot, the pork ribs were full of flavour and the fish was so fresh. Brilliant night thanks to great staff and great food. Will definitely be back, especially as it's a Zomato Gold place
Excellent service and delicious food. Our order arrived within about 10 minutes and the staff were very attentive. Highly recommend the pork belly bao.
Fantastic service, great prices and amazing food. Large and funky interior with some great outdoor spaces too. Good wine and cocktail list - this place always hits the spot!
Always amazing service here. Super friendly, accommodating, never bat an eyelid if using Zomato Gold and good comes out quick and hot. Would highly recommend!!
Wow this place had excellent food and service. The bao buns are amazing. Would definately recommend this place for dinner and will be back soon.
Grate place. Been there at noon, and sat in backyard-sunshine is beautiful. We ordered crispy chicken Bao, lemon-pepper calamari and Korean style fried chicken. Calamari is crispy and fresh, chicken wings is yummy and juicy and Bao is good start to share.
Good service and fantastic Bao. The indoor dining area is really nice. Will be a regular stop for a quick Bao or drink stop. Handy location as close to central Newmarket.
Service was amazing. The baos are the perfect blend of east meets west. Fusion food is sometimes a little overwhelming however these guys have the fusion spot on!
No lie this place had some mean music, vibes and great customer service. I will definitely come here again maybe for drinks instead.
Unfortunately the food was a big let down for me I just did not like the seasoning or sauces used. The food came on time but I was very disappointed with the ribs. They were extremely chewey and felt I was forcing myself to finish it. However, most other dishes ordered from my group were okay and the service was pretty good so I'm giving them a 4/5. (Just a heads up the portion sizes are pretty small apart from the ribs)
Food was delicious. Definitely enjoyed ‘the hulk’ which is the asian greens and the crispy fried chicken. We initially thought the serving size was disappointing, but food was flavoursome and just enough to make you make you full. Good for small gatherings.
Such a good place. Great atmosphere. Had the chicken bao and pork bao and chips. Chips and aioli was amaaaazing. Great mojito too. Lovely staff
Definitely recommend the Frose in Happy Hour. Friend and I ended up sharing our dishes which was a bit meat heavy. Ribs were amazingly tender and had great flavour. Gonna balance it out next time with a vege dish!
Me and my boy friend was having dinner couple of days ago. We love the Asian fusion food here, we order couple of steam buns, wings of fire, miss piggy and Thai me down salad. All the dishes were reasonable price, delicious and the service was excellent. It has been a lovely night for two of us. We will be back.
Pretty good asian fusion restaurant at the corner of new market. Not big but very delicate. Food are nice and fresh, environment really clean with lovely decor. Service polite and friendly
The food and drinks came out under 10 minutes and was delicious. Our waiter is the reason for the 5 stars. She was super friendly and made sure we were comfortable :)
3.5/5 Taste

3.5/5 Quantity

Decent Whitewashed Asian Restaurant
Good place for drinks and snacks!
Baos were slightly bigger than I though, tasted great too.
Tucks were alright, comparing with other bar snacks and food they were decent sizes.
One of my favourite restaurant I've found here! Bao was tasty. The bottom of the bao bun was wet and soggy because of the sauce of the meat. But still, I love it! Definitely I will be back soon!
A nice dining experience. Good food. Good ambiance.
The fried chicken was delicious. It was not like the usual fried chicken with super crunchy and thick batter, but I actually dig this one! Very flavorful.
The pork belly was a bit dry, although I like the flavor.
I used my zomato gold. The Clucking Good became complimentary and I ended up saving $16.
Was reluctant to try it out after reading some negative reviews but thought we would give it a go as we could walk from home. Food was tasty, on the spicy side. We had the fire wings (hot but not too hot), the ribs (surprisingly spicy although did not mention spice on the menu), the prawn dumplings (wouldn't get again as very small and lack of flavour) and a pork bao (I love any bao, the bun was fluffy but the filling lacking). Overall we enjoyed our meal and would possibly go back. Give it a try for yourself!
Great little find in Newmarket, on the road parallel to broadway (behind the gym and pools). The atmosphere is thematic, and they’ve clearly put in effort and thought so the place feels and looks good.
This was one of the best Bao’s we’ve had in Auckland, and we’ve been to a few different places.
The Bao’s feel fluffy and soft, and the ingredients were well seasoned. During our meal, we felt like this was a place we’d be happy to come back to.
The place doesn’t seem to get as much exposure as other popular bars and restaurants that have more street exposure before you see Tucks and Bao. But this place is worth checking out :)
(Found out about this place through Zomato Gold)
Good food they have Bao's (Chinese filled bun things) and Tucks which are like mini sharing dishes. We only had the tucks with 4 different ones to share for 3 of us and left pretty satisfied in terms of hunger and taste so all around a good meal!
We ordered the miss piggy and terigotchi between the two of us. The flavours were nice but not exceptional. Portions were pretty small for the price but we dined on zomato gold so still great value. Good vibes with friendly service.
Ordered Miss Piggy and A Salt N' Battery. Miss Piggy is cooked well and I liked the taste of veggies with it. The only downside is the sauce, it didn't compliment the dish well. Maybe that depends on your taste but I'm Asian so I like the sauce to have a stronger taste and aroma. The fish in Salt N' Battery is nice but only 2-3 pieces and the rest are chips.
Me and my partner loved the customer service, atmosphere and most importantly the food. We would recommend the pulled pork bao and the pork ribs.
Nice little place with delicious food. We took our one preschooler and one toddler along which in hindsight was not the best idea as there were no walls (it was opened to let air and light in) and the kids kept running out to the footpath outside. A lil stressful but the food was good so we will come back without kids next time. :)
Great food and atomsphere, very vibrant restaurant for a great Friday night drinks spot with great food. I would be keen to try their baos next time.
i got the tofu bao bun and chips and absolutely loved them!! the slaw was delicious and the tofu was done perfectly. the seasoning on the chips was great and they were done really nicely, i really enjoyed my meal!! and would definitely recommend this restaurant
Nice cosy place in Newmarket, and pretty decent baos. Was slightly disappointed considering that half their name is dedicated to baos but they aren't quite up to scratch, hence the missing star. The pork belly crackling is never quite crispy enough, and the chicken is a bit bland.
The popcorn prawns are delicious though and the drinks are cheap and fun. Not my first choice for Asian-fusion style but still a good place nonetheless.
Went for a birthday dinner Sunday night around 6pm and we organised the area out back. There is no booking fee for their function room and no minimum spend which is really good.
We ordered from the catering menu and had the pulled pork lettuce wraps, tofu lettuce wraps, spicy fried chicken, platter of pork belly bao and fried chicken bao, edamame beans and fries. The food was cooked really well, everything was super flavoursome. Highlights were the pulled pork wraps as well as the lemon pepper seasoning on the fries.
I also had a ginger and lime moctail which tasted like a mojito and was super refreshing.
The service was faultless, really attentive and super friendly. The food came out really quickly, and wait times for drinks were barely existent. Loved how they also gave the birthday girl a free dessert, was super lovely.
Absolutely spot on food and service, really keen to try some other dishes.
Quick service which is great for lunch during work hours, enjoyable atmosphere with a nice outside area and tasty food with good variety on the menu.
With beautifully prepared fusions of Greek, Malay, Chinese, Thai, Korean and more, this place is still making our mouths water – the flavours where genuinely incredible. We loved the attention to detail with every plate and, to complete the scrumptious cuisine on offer, we were immersed in an exotic fit-out boasting water fountains, bamboo walls and even a mini gong signalling the wait staff that food was ready to go. Nice touch. If classic cafe fare is getting a tad tiring for you, Tucks & Bao is definitely a worthy contender for your next team outing.
The huskies each had a bao each and shared the following:
Clucking Good - Tucks famous fried chicken with sesame mayo
Miss Piggy - Crispy roasted pork belly slices with hoisin dip
Mr Bean - Edamame soy beans with chili rock salt
The Hulk - Fresh stir-fried greens with shallots, garlic & soy

The food here is tasty and flavourful and with Zomato gold the price is pretty reasonable. Definitely worth checking out!! I recommend getting a frozen margarita
Highly recommended. First timers. As soon as we stepped foot in the door we were welcomed with the choice of where to sit despite our booking we were late for, the zen garden was a great choice. Wasn’t a long wait at all till we were served with fresh aromatic dishes we couldn’t wait to dip into. Loved the menu with its quirky puns. The ‘wings of fire’ a succulent pick complimented by the side truffle mayonnaise. ‘The Hulk’ although it could’ve been stir fried a minute more were a great treat. ‘Mr Bean’ being a fav were simply perfect. ‘The prawn broker’ and ‘Miss salt & Mr pepper’ were also good choices. ‘The Belly Bao’ was nice too. To top it off nothing better than to have lovely staff. We walked away with full bellies and smiles from ear to ear. The ‘Frozen Margaritta’ may have added to that. Thank you Harry, Paola and team.
Love this restaurant. Been there quite a few times. Ambience is really nice and warm 5/5. Food is quite nice 4/5. Prices are reasonable too. We tried their fried bao with ice cream for desert. Tasted like a doughnut and was huge too. Highly recommended and is enough to be shared by two.
Gr8 service, food came really quickly, Drunkin Beef Bao was favourite, food delicious. Beautiful surroundings. Only negative our table was sticky, needs sanding back as not off food or cleaning sprays.
Couldn’t be more impressed with this place. Every time I go they are consistent, polite and friendly as well as serving up amazing tasting food. I’d love to keep these chefs in my pocket!!!
Good place and ambience.. asian fusion theme.
Had some good beer to start with. Later tried some thai, korean fusion and loved it.
The beef rice was a bit too tangy, but all in all good experience. Will come back again
Great atmosphere! Very chill made me feel like I was in Williamsburg in Brooklyn. All the bao’s are worth a trying and practically did try them all between my wife and I. The favourite by far was the pork belly bao and the bilgogi brisket - I recommend those to all!
Always loved the Bao after first having it in Sydney when I was studying back in University. This was a chinese style Bao isntead of a Japanese style, which i had in Sydney. The highlight was actually the Pulled pork Bao and the Pork Belly Bao, and lastly must give the half kilo pork ribs a try, so amazinly flavourful with sweet tangy sauce and it is very well marinated.
Food was really tasty, had 2 pork belly buns and tasted great! Had a espresso martini, but it was tiny, overpriced and not too great. Great food but maybe don't bother with the cocktails
Great food , great taste , great presentation and friendly staff. The location of this restro is really great but i guess this place needs to promote itself a little more because the bows are in trend and many place are promoting it.
I enjoyed Tucks and Bao over all, its stylish and spacious. I will probably go back just for the wings of fire tho.
This place has the best wings I’ve ever had! They have actually got a good spicy kick to it! The sauce/ marinade was delicious and honestly I would love to buy a bottle.
The pad Thai was really disappointing, it wasn’t even pad Thai it was like pasta with cashews and bean sprouts. Possibly one of the worst pad Thai experiences.
We got two snack size baos, the chicken was really bland however since I’m ratchet I just dipped the bao into the wings of fire sauce lol it was super taste with the sauce.
I’m definitely heading back here again to try some of the other dishes and ofcs the wings.
Pros: food is top notch, ambiance is lovely, service and speed is second to none. Cons: there is only one restaurant. Come here if you want to try the best Asian fusion baos in town and get tipsy with margaritas .
My friends and I came here for lunch on Saturday. The restaurant environment was lovely in terms of decor. Staff were friendly. Our food came out quite fast. Very impressed by the restaurant.
Absolutely delicious!!
My partner and I came in around 12pm on a Friday and from a far the place looked closed with chairs still up etc. However, we tried our luck. Firstly, the service was a clear let down. The waitress seemed uninterested and wasn't welcoming at all. The tables were sticky and wobbly which is why I won't give this place a 5.
But!! I can look past all that because the food was so SO yum! We tried the Eurasian (wonton taco), the money bags, Bok Bok (chicken bao), low and slow (pulled pork bao), fish bao and the crispy chicken. Everything was simply amazing! My fave was definitely the fish bao.
I will definitely be dining here again to try more of the extensive menu!
Tucks and Bao is a super cute restaurant which would be perfect for a date night or just catch up with friends! The fairy lights and modern decor
make it a very warm and inviting atmosphere to dine in.
The menu itself has good variety which made it hard to choose. The cocktails are well priced. Like others who have reviewed here, I think the food is slightly on the pricey side for what you get. I've had Bao's from other restaurants nearby that are better quality in my opinion and slightly cheaper.
Happy casual dining,
Delicious bao and kids food.
Great spot for a relaxed drink and bite to eat, especially at happy hour!
Friendly accomodating staff especially manager.
The food was amazing! The staff were lovely. we will definitely be back! Recommend the Bok Bok and the Low and Slow Bao they were so amazing!
Brilliant food, full of flavour. Had the pork belly, prawn Bao, crunchy chicken, money bags, and prawn & porn dumpling. Perfect for sharing the small plates or having a bigger one to yourself. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.
My sister celebrated her 21st in the private conservatory area :) Very cute space (fairy lights & water fountain), good food, great service! 👌🏻
Perfect for an afternoon delight! Their Manager, Sarah was amazing, very accommodating and helpful!👍🏼 ribs were flavorful, pad thai was good for sharing and their bao is a must try :)
Great food on top of impeccable service! Very warm and inviting atmosphere and great to go with friends to catch up with. We ordered the edamame and wonton as starters, I got the pork belly Bao with hoisin and coriander we also got dessert, the Cookie Monster to finish. Tasty food, only minor hiccup was a bit of a wait for the Cookie Monster, but this was understandable as the cookies are freshly made! Thanks for a great, chill night tucks and Bao. I'll be back :)
Decor and service was great. We thought the food was a little overpriced for what it was, but it was still tasty and served promptly. Good wine list and good gluten free options.
It's a super cute place in new market! I love the decorations they have around the place :) I got the Bao boy lunch box and shared some fries with my friend. The food isn't bad but it's a bit expensive for the quality and quantity in my opinion.

Went here for lunch today and was very very impressed, it wasn't too busy which was good meant that our food came out more promptly. I really wanted to try most things but ended up getting the crispy chicken bao burger, the prawn and something dumplings and also the chicken taco. When I saw someone else order the bao burger I didn't think it looked too big that why I got more food to go with it, but it was actually quite filling, but definitely needed a little bit extra so maybe one side would have been good. OMG the dumplings were heaven!!! The flavour of the meats inside were heavenly and also the texture of the outside was the same, absolute delight. I would recommend everyone getting these if they tried this place. The baos were also amazing, the outside was fluffy, just as you would expect. My friend ordered the pork belly one and commented that it was a little dry, and she also got the lettuce taco with pork which said was even more dry. I would definitely be coming back here soon

Went here for Father's Day and it was a pleasant experience!
We got a bun each and I highly recommend the pork belly flavour! All baos definitely tasted like what they were described as in the menus. We went there at lunch time the waitress told us that free chips came with every bao! Not sure whether it was only for during lunch time but it saved us $4.5 each!
I thought that the baos were also reasonably priced because it was definitely very filling, if you have a small appetite then you might not be able to finish one!! Also tried their Cookie Monster dessert and it was very nice also with the combination of freshly baked cookie and icecream and toppings on top-definitely reccomend!
One downside was that their toilets were very very dim. Pretty sure it was like that purposefully to match their restaurant setup but I thought that it was just too dark for women especially if they want to apply makeup or something.
Overall thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would definitely come here again with friends!
Decent food, though I find the prices a bit painfully high. Bao more dry than the gua bao it's modelled after (I prefer kiss kiss or kai eatery for something closer to gua bao) but the pork belly inside was delicious with it's chewy and soft combo and had nice flavourd. Pork Ribs were nice but the sauce was a bit intensely sweet and salty to eat a lot - share if you can. Some had big chunks of fat (I guess just that cut of meat). Chips were really nice and a big serving, more like wedges. Korean fried chicken wings were ok, but got cold quickly and were a bit on the spicy and soggy side for me since they were bathed in gochujang it seemed. Atmosphere was very friendly and decent wait staff. Real let down for me is the price so I don't think I'd come back without a voucher.
Had the yummiest food when I went on Saturday. The pork belly bao was amazing!!!! The staff were really friendly too. I Will definitely be going back 😊
The atmosphere and decor of the place is really nice, we went on a Sunday night at 8pm so the place was really quiet. The staff were attentive though a waitress paid a little too much attention to her cell phone while guests were waiting to pay.
The food is amazing, there's so much flavour. We ended up ordering more. The bao were so soft and perfectly steamed. Definitely can't wait to go back and try more of the menu.
We have been here atleast three times now and have always enjoyed it! The service is good, friendly and the staff offer great suggestions from the menu.
It's a fantastic place to have a group dinner and some drinks, definitely a social vibe and the food is easily shared amongst the table.
The menu has a few items which are a little hit and miss but the food that we keep coming back for is the baos! I highly recommend getting the duo bao sliders as they're small enough to have more than one and share amongst the table. Top picks are the Bao Boy, Low and Slow and the Crispy Fu. Other dishes we enjoy are definitely the Gangnam Slaw (10/10) and the waffle on.
Great place that we will continue to come back to.
Food was good served on time, staff were very polite, courteous and friendly. Ambience of the place was good, not too noisy on a Sunday night. Overall was a lovely dining experience.
After having gone a previous evening and really enjoying our food. I'm a little peeved to say this evening didn't go so well. We ordered, a bao, dimsum, and crispy tofu salad. The tofu was good, but the dimsum came out cold, and the bao was very soggy. The service made up for it at least. The ambience was still good, and the drinks menu was very good.
Tucks and Bao you'll for sure see me coming back to you're restaurant! Loved the look and the atmosphere, customers service was on point! And not to forget the delicious food we had 10/10, HOT, FRESH, and TASTY!
Thank you for the amazing experience!
Really good I went there for my 16th birthday, the staff are so friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is great, the lights are pretty and the food is too. Would recommend the 'bok bok' and the belly bao.
It was my first time to New Zealand this year and after a long day of sightseeing in Auckland I stumbled upon Tucks & Bao. What a find. I was quite hungry and even with generous portions I finished off the 'Bok Bok' and 'Belly Bao' with ‘Gangam Slaw’. All were delicious. A great selection of Kiwi Beers, couldn't try them all though but managed a few George IPA's. The staff are very friendly and superb service. Highly recommended. Thank you for the great food & experience.
This restaurant never ceases to impress me when I come to visit Auckland. I visit Auckland a few times a year and always make a point to visit Tucks and Bao. It has a really chilled atmosphere (like the whole of NZ really). The staff are friendly and can't do enough for their customers. My personal favs are the Bao-ger, the Belly Bao and the Great White. The pork fictions ribs are a real treat washed down with the Alan Scott Resling. All I say is A+ and bring your appetite as the portions are very generous.
I ate here recently with my family(2 children included)...there was a quite a few of us so the lovely manager gave us the outside area...we practically had it to ourselves. We had the best night...great food, great atmosphere and of course great wine and beer. We had the BEST night...and so reasonably priced. can't wait to come back. ❤❤
Great food and service. Nice atmosphere in a cosy space and interesting foods that are not too expensive. Recommend the pulled pork Bao and the Eurasian wontons
Omg I'm in flavour heaven. My work colleagues and I decided to have dinner last minute and stumbled on this place. What a find!!! We shared 6 plates and loved every one! Great ambiance and service. Will be back for sure!!!
Really nice place if you're looking for somewhere relaxed. Delicious bao's and decently priced. The pork bao was to die for. Friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere.
I think that this place was a real discovery. Wanted a casual dinner out for two with good food and wine to accompany. Food was fabulous - very fresh, very tasty and generous portions. The bottle of wine we chose was great too and not expensive. The service was not obtrusive and very friendly. All of this made for a really cool, casual dinner in comfortable surroundings. Definitely going back and would thoroughly recommend.
Beautiful place to go to at night. I went there for a friends 21st. The staff were so friendly. The restaurant is nice and clean. The food is on the pricer side, however it is located in new market. The food is good. Would recommend.
Average food, tasty but nothing extraordinary. Felt like their food was overpriced and serving sizes were pretty small. It has a cosy atmosphere but I don't think I will want to come back.
Loved the PORK BELLY Bao Sliders Platter, goes well with beer. The vibe of this resto was a huge bonus - stylish and neat; makes you want to linger. We will be back for sure!
Food and Flavour: 4/5

Service: 4.5/5
Value for Money: 4/5
We ordered the Belly Bao and Wonton with Siriracha sauce. the sticky crispy pork was out of the world and the wontons were crispy and had a tangy sauce to add value to it . Loved the experience of this lil place tucked away from the buzz.
This is a little jewel in NewMarket. I am happy we decided to dine in here. The place is cozy and the staffs are friendly with some great recommendations. We had the Korean BBQ beef and the General Tsao chicken with coffee. And oh so so yummy!!! We definitely love to go back here.

Located on the corner of Davis Crescent and Carlton Gore Road is where you’ll find Tucks & Bao – an Asian fusion street food eatery that was newly opened in November 2016. Asian fusion is without-a-doubt an enormous trending style of cuisine that has been going strong in Auckland and eateries offering their interpretation of this trend have been proven to be quite successful with Auckland diners.
Had a great time here, I ordered the beef burger, the buns I presume are rice buns and are really yum. The guy that served us was very nice. I think that if you're going perhaps it would be good to order a few items as the portions aren't too big.
came in on a Wednesday night with a friend after event cinemas in Newmarket. We got the tucks margarita, a frosé and a desert (the bao nut) to share. Very much enjoyed! Nice refreshing drink and something sweet with cute low lighting in the bar made a nice end to the night. Staff friendly and helpful. Need to come in to try the food next time!
I had a Dinner here last night with my girlfriend and we had Eurasian pork, Wings of fire, Tucks margarita. I can say that was an amazing dinner with her. Peaceful environment also warm and such a good staff. We just arrived and had the order already, the food was ready less than 10 minutes also very taste, fabulous food actually. I highly recommend it! We will be back very soon. Thanks Tucks and Bao you guys are amazing! Loved It!!!
Staff was amazing. Food was amazing. I loved my time dinning there and will be back in the future. I can say best dinner I've had in a long time.
Absolutely yummy! (Belly Bao and Bao-ger) love it! ❤ 😋 Those are my favorite one also excellent environment, friendly staff, amazing people! Good job guys! I will definitely recommend it and come back 😉 Thank you!
Awesome place, environment is friendly with a pretty good staff. The food was amazing, I had pork ribs(best I've had), waffles and Eurasian chicken. Everything perfect and I'll be back soon.
a girlfriend and i went here one day after work. we had the frosè (frozen rosè). the drinks were amazing. we didnt get food this time round but will definitely be returning and trying some out!!
These friendly people Happy to look after our big group, great food, amazing drinks! Boa was fresh n soft, wings were spicy as promised! Perfect atmosphere for an adventurous bunch!
Service friendly & welcoming. Lots of great areas to sit inside & out no matter what the size of your group.
Staff very knowledgable of the menu so able to make good recommendations. We tried the pork belly bao which had crispy skin & good flavour. Also the pulled pork with Filipino BBQ sauce. Fries with mayo were nice & crispy on the outside, & soft & fluffy on the inside.
Good drinks options & there is an $8 happy hour if you arrive earlier in the night.
Looking forward to our next visit
Such a nice food, good environment and the waitress was nice, and the good thing is that, the people working in there is not just from one country, is from worldwide. It was a good experience and will come back with more people in there. Thanks guys. :)
Dropped by for a quick lunch and ended up staying for more than an hour. The service was on point and makes you feel at home. One of the best coffee I have tasted, the wings of fire was amazing! And oh, check out their yin yang mousse coz it's heavenly created. I will definitely come back one of this days with my girlfriends😘
Absolutely epic, pork belly bao is out of this world. Been twice in 3 days and will be back again soon! Service is always great and being located in central Newmarket means loads of parking!
Must try Eurasian tofu and the Bao sliders. Love the home made sorbet in the Yin Yang mousse as well. Great service and friendly staff, definitely one of my favourite place for a feed.
We were in the garden area out the back which had a really beautiful atmosphere! The food was good and came out quickly considering we were a group of 20+! Great food great prices!
Yummy food. Great selection. The baos are delecious. Cool set up great tunes. Cool place to go with mares for a chill meal. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Went here for a friend's birthday and loved it. We ordered Pork belly (delicious), pork ribs melt in your mouth (yum). There are some great vegetarian options like Eurasian tacos with tofu. Also had pork dumplings. We had five dishes between 3 of us and it was generous portions and we took some home with us. Nice friendly staff and good service. Decor was Asian fusion influence and nicely done. We highly recommend it. Japan/USA/NZ diners all enjoyed.

My last day working in Newmarket, for my last supper I chose this place after partaking in the eating contest which I lost in the first round, but it was fun. It's nice to see someone pushing boundaries and having these food challenges.
So I ordered 15 slider baos with fries. I could choose so I left it in the capable hands of the person in charge. I was impressed with the presentation of the food and I fries was really good too, i think it has lemon salt and pepper in it. I picked it up and the food was amazing, just amazing, usually when baos get cold it sometimes get abit firm but these ones didn't.
Together I got 3 prawn, 3 fish, 3 chicken, 3 tofu and 3 pork. Man to tell you the truth I could not pick my favorite as they were all amazing. Only one i didn't like as much is the popcorn chicken because it has coriander in it. I still ate it.
From the phone call to picking up the food was a wonderful experience. If you want catering done, do drop in and see the crew there. You will not regret it! Support this place so they can put on more eating contest!
Saw this place on Uber Eats and happened to walk past after going to the movies in Newmarket. The place looks quite wonderful! Service was pretty good too!
One of the best vegan burgers in Auckland!!! Forget about the idea that tofu doesn't taste anything, Crispy Fu is delicious and full of flavors... more than recommended!
Four of us went in yesterday night for dinner at about 9pm and we were seated in the back, which was super ambient and lovely. While my partner and I ordered the belly bao, our friends got the bao-ger, and we all got some of the thick cut fries to share. The banana milkshake we ordered as well took good while to get out but was nice, and the food was so good! I loved the belly bao, though it could have used a tiny bit more sauce. The thick cut chips were so nice as well. Our friends also really enjoyed their bao-gers, although it should be said they're pretty difficult to eat.
We were all pleasantly surprised and had a lovely night out at Tucks and Bao. Will be back!
Tucks and Bao will make you coming back for more. The ambient is homey and the staff are all warm and friendly. The foods are so tasty and just blended with perfection. Try their gangnam slaw and chicken waffles😘
The servers here are very friendly and accomodating. Service is super fast and efficient. The price is great and the food is really good. I would definitely recommend the baos.
Friendly staff. Nice little outdoor area to sit in. Was a big fan on the gong used to alert waiters that the food in the kitchen was ready. The baos were delicious. A little hard to cut through but still delicious 😋
Excellent food and service. The rice paper rolls were nice and refreshing, and the 'crispy fu' bao was flavourful even if it was a bit messy! Left feeling very full and would recommend this place as great for group dinners, and sharing plates to try a taste of everything.
This place contains all the modern and fun vibes with amazing fresh food! I ordered the Bok Bok Bao and a half portion of chips. The Bao had the fresh greens, crispy chicken and mayo sauce that balanced everything out. Also loved the lime mayo with the chips! Was pleasantly satisfied with the friendly customer service and nice low lighting with fairy lights. A must for evening drinks and meal!
Food comes out quickly and is consistently superb. The service is always friendly and helpful. I love the ambience with fairy lights and water features and hanging plants too.
Went here with a friend and absolutely loved the food. Great mix of Eastern and western flavours, with the added bonus of the food arriving well before we expected it too. The staff were friendly and very helpful with recommendation and answering questions. We will definitely be back :)
Excellent! Amazing choice of unique and delicious Asian fusion food - so many favourites to choose from. Friendly staff. Chilled romantic ambiance. Convenient location.
This place is magical, Day time and night time. The design is really creative and unique.
If you ever get the chance to go to Tucks and Bao I assure you it is gonna be memorable.
Good vibrations, friendly staff, delicious food.
My number one recommendation anytime.

Amazing place! The staff members are really kind and friendly, the food is great, specially the Eurasian Chicken - my favourite dish in Auckland right now. Also try their Smoothies and Milk Shakes, perfect.
Awesome food, great staff. Was very enjoyable !
Fried chicken was absolutely unreal. Flavours were on point. Food came really fast aswell 100% recommend!!!
Great food, I love the pork belly and spare ribs. The bao's are awesome and the deserts are to die for. You must try this new place in Newmarket you won't be disappointed.
This place has a modern vibe to it. It's cozy and ideal for catching up with friends. I ordered the Belly Bao which was delicious. The pork was moist and the hoisin sauce was just the right amount. My friend ordered the Bad Boy Bao-ger which she found to be filling. Basically an Asian twist on a burger but with more flavours. We also ordered the short & beefy and I recommend this. If you're craving meat this is perfect. You may want to order a side dish with it. I didn't because I wanted the Bao as well. I also ordered the Monster Cookie and it comes out warm and is so sweet. For those with a sweet tooth, this hits the spot. The service is great and the staff are friendly.
Loved this place! Great service, atmosphere and amazing food. We ordered the wings, tofu slaw and tacos wow just delicious. Can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu

Didn't know about this place till my sister told me about it. I normally just walked pass the restaurant thinking its some other shops. Hahaha so , guys open ur eyes wide and look out for tucks and bao.
Really enjoyed the food there. Staff were attentive and the owner or the manager asked us how was the food. It's good knowing that they love getting feedback from customers cause it seems that they care and they want the best for the customers. That gave me a really Good impression.
Really enjoyed the names of the food on the kids menu. U will get me when you see it if u do go and try . HAHAHAH
Ordered the Bok Bok , great white , belly bao and samurai pork. I really enjoyed the belly bao and the great white
belly bao : u can taste the authentic taste of the pork belly and with the sauce they use, it taste Amazing. Recommend : 8/10
great white : the type of fish they use is not really to my liking however it was deep fried and the sauce they use makes it taste better. 7/10
bok Bok : seemed to be like the specialty for the restaurant. However , it didn't taste that delicious after having a bite of belly bao. It could be a clash in flavours from two bao or it could be just my personal taste. Recommend 6/10
Samurai pork : just order it! Recommend 10/10
Overall. I had a good dinner at the place. 😁

Tucks and bao is a quaint little restaurant tucked away behind Newmarket event cinema. An Asian fusion that specialise in baos (also known as steamed buns or better known as man tous), Tucks and Bao is definitely one to try.
There were 3 of us that went to Tucks and Bao for a light-ish dinner : we ordered 3 baos (pork belly, chicken and fish) + wontons. This cost us $52 and left us filling satisfied (not too heavy, not under portioned).
Each bao dish that you order comes in two pieces (they're cut in half), so it's great for those that likes trying a variety of dishes and sharing. We really enjoyed the fish and pork belly, but unfortunately bok bok / the chicken bao was quite underseasoned.
I wouldn't recommend that bao until they adjust their seasoning and flour to chicken ratio. (I love my deep fried stuff and the flours, but at one point while eating the bok bok bao, my "chicken" was all flour.
Wontons are delicious, and cooked to perfection. Might b a little salty, but otherwise good.
We didn't get any drinks this time but they seem to have a fun drinks menu. Also had the opp to meet the owner and he's a lovely guy.
Do check this place out if you're nearby. Will try the steamed dumplings and fried rice/ noodle next time.
For start I love the cocktail menu.
It's just intresting to read ingredients and funny.
For start we had some chicken and pork bally mini berger.
It was juicy and tasty.
You taste all flavor .
On main we had some rengdan beef.
Meat was super soft and with a lot of flavors.
And I tell you what you defenetly need to share that one.
It's too big for one person.
Of course we had to try their cocktail too.
We had margarita and mojito .
My mojito was average however margarita was good.
It wasn't much of customer service though.
But I would defenetly come back here.
Their menu had a good range, but only people who can handle spicy sauces will be able to fully appreciate their offering.
My Gangnam Slaw was fresh and not too spicy. Loved the silky soft tofu, which was freshly fried and contrasted well with the cold salad underneath. Didn't realise this was such a massive portion! My Bok Bok Bao was delicious – although awkward to eat at times. Surprisingly filling as well.
Pretty friendly service, but I noticed that 3 ppl asked about their fries (which were taking ages to come out). Not sure if this slow service was a one-off or not.
I was fortunate enough to get a table just after 12pm when it opened, as it started getting busy pretty quickly.
Came here last night and really enjoyed it. The inside dining area is a little small and quite dark, we would have preferred to sit outside under the fairy lights. Got the low and slow pulled pork bao and shared the thick cut chips. The Baos are delicious, could have done with some sauce but very fulling and well worth the $12. The chips were the best I think I've ever eaten. The menu is so big, will definitely be back to try more
Great Finger Food with lots of fun!
I would highly recommend this place as I use to work across the road.
Parking isn't tricky and free after 6pm. Fun Asian fusion with me eating all my verges as well.
Came with my family, nice clean environment, friendly staff and great tasting water my wife thought.
Would go again soon! Thanks Tucks and Bao!

I finally got to try this place after only recently coming back from America, ordered bao boy box; friend went with good ol fish and chips. My order I'm going assume is like shrimp po-boy (ones in New Orleans are massive and since I only came back from there recently was using this as a comparison); it's fairly clever fusion but the bao didn't have right consistency for me (I'm OG asian and bao ninja) and it held together terribly for me with shrimp constantly just falling out everywhere made it difficult to eat; and I couldn't help but feel bao should have been abit firmer; it probably would held together better if it was sandwiched between two bao instead of folded. Chips were good in my opinion. My friend also made comment that fish and chips shouldn't have come in basket as it made it hard to eat which was a fair comment. Service gets a+ for effort but you can tell they were quite young inexperienced wait staff; I noticed several tables including us requesting napkins wasn't biggie but ever little thing makes the experience (also fix that table in front of counter; it's wobbly). Overall the place is actually quite good and i personally feel the food at least has alot of potential and brings something different in area; decor could do with update; I think it inherited stuff from last place? I would try this place again mostly because my work is like 3 minute walk away and I'm still curious about rest of menu; I'm hopeful of getting a better experience next time so please bring your A game next time :)
Food is great, popcorn shrimp is addictive! Although the tofu in my bao was amazing the bao was a wee bit soggy but still delicious. Reasonable prices, so many choices. Four very happy customers. Also the cocktails were great, best margarita I've had in years.
Tucks and Bao is a new place tucked behind the Olympic gym in Newmarket. The menu is Vietnamese street food and split into Tucks and Baos. We had the Bok Bok Bao, beef short rib and the cabbage steamed wontons. I also had a cheeky chocolate milkshake. The food was delish especially the short rib! I love the fit out of the place and the bar side was pumping. There were a few issue with the service but it was our waitress's first night and they were no biggie. I definitely want to head back and try the sweet Bao!
How joyful time I spent there! All raw materials were fresh with good quality. The Crispy Chicken presented a fantastic mouth feeling. Serving size of rice paper rolls were much bigger than I imagined with photos on Zomato before. And for the beef bao, actually it was new style burger. They use Chinese style sweet white bread instead of regular burger bread. More sweetly and more soft. Staff were friendly.

I noticed this place while it was being built and renovated, and thought what a great idea it was to introduce Asian fusion cuisine to Newmarket’s growing restaurant and food scene.
Located on a corner site, ‘Tucks and Bao’ is hard to miss! I love the interior and ambience, dim lighting, fairy lights along the walls in the courtyard, simple but chic décor to give the place a casual, relaxed vibe. Once we entered, we were seated promptly and waited a few minutes for someone to take our order. Staff are very friendly, but not very attentive, we eventually had to wave someone down to take our order for us.
We got the crispy chicken bao, pork belly bao, spicy Korean chicken wings, steamed pork wontons and the cookie monster to share. The wait for our food was quite long, I think around 40-45 minutes. I enjoyed the chilli pork wontons, however the description mentioned ginger, and I was hoping for a ginger flavour burst but I couldn’t really taste the ginger at all. They were also a tad undercooked and not as soft and silky as you expect wontons to be, but overall a nice dish to start with. The spicy Korean chicken wings were my favourite! Seriously good. The spicy sauce on it was amazing and the chicken was soft. The baos were good but not the best I’ve had. The bao itself was perfectly fluffy and soft but the pork belly was a bit tough. Overall, it was yummy but needed a bit more punch!
The cookie monster was 2 pieces of cookie with a scoop of ice cream on each piece with chocolate sauce and m&ms. The cookie itself was really tasty, who doesn’t like cookies and ice cream!! However I think it would have been better with a soft gooey cookie rather than a hard one.
Overall, it’s still a very new restaurant so no doubt, they will only improve. I would love to come back in a few months when they’ve settled into things. Definitely worth a visit! Quite different to other Asian fusion restaurants I’ve been to and the menu boasts a lot of different dishes to try!

Newly opened and with an appealing menu it was a no brainer to give this place a try! Walking in, there is a nice relaxed vibe about this place. Reasonably busy for a Saturday night, it was a good thing we'd reserved a table.
Once seated we were eager to get some food rolling. We sat waiting for some menus... 10 minutes later after catching eye contact with the waitress she came over. 'Are you guys ready to order?' she asked notepad in hand. After saying we were yet to see the menu she quickly got some for us. She also arrived with two glasses of water, soon to realise we'd already got them ourselves from the self serve dispenser. That aside it was smooth sailing from there.
We ordered four dishes between us and they were all delicious. The Crispy fu Bao was well portioned with a good amount of tofu. The bun wasn't pretty! But don't judge a book by its cover..it was thick, fluffy and soft just as it should be.
We are pan fried dumpling lovers but the 'No beef here bro' steamed dumplings were so good. We will definitely be ordering them again next time. Tasty filling and more than just 'cabbage' as the menu suggests.
The tofu in the Gangnam slaw was the star of the night. It doesn't sound like much on the menu but the tofu is caramelised in a seriously good sauce which works well with the slaw.
Moral choice was a nice and refreshing salad. They don't go easy on the lemon pepper so if your a fan of that combination, this dish is for you.
With many more appetising dishes on the menu we will be back for sure. Hopefully the service will step up, but overall we were impressed with the food here 👌🏼👌🏼
Hit this new spot with crew as the hype starts to build. Funky corner spot in newmarket and nice finishing touches on the place. We got a couple baos each and a few small plates. The Belly Bao was good and the bun was incredibly soft, my only feedback would be to have a thick slice of pork belly rather than small pieces. Clucking good chicken was crunchy and hot when it came out, was expecting a bit more flavour or punch to it but overall decent. Defs recommend if in the area. Will be back to take on the Bao Challenge!
Came down for a drink and a wee snack after an exam and it was the perfect atmosphere - real chill and welcoming, we sat outside it was fab. I got the calamari which was delish and I got heaps for $16! Also got a mojito and it was mint (literally) and nice and tangy and strong da bomb! Will defs be back!
Great atmosphere at this new spot, slowly working my way through the menu and loving it :D today I shared the lemon pepper shrimp bites and a mojito, was delicious.
Most enjoyable indoor-outdoor flow, with amazing food and cocktails. They have an amazing style and cater for every ones needs. My new go to in New Markets
what an atmospheric restaurant ! great Asian fusion food...a bit different from other fusion restaurants. service is very friendly and efficient without being invasive. highly recommend the chicken ka-pow and chef Devo does an amazing pork belly.
A fun, cheerful bar/restaurant wth fantastic food and a relaxed vibe. It's great to find a place where the little touches make you smile (check out the menu and you'll see what I mean!).
Yummy Food, Yummy Drinks, Great atmosphere, Great customer service, My fav is the Low and Slow Bao, Soooo Good with caramelized bacon pieces Mmmmmm. Definitely recommended!
Found this place completely by chance, and I'm glad I did. The food here is delicious, excellent service and we even got a dessert to sample on the house! Would definitely come back!
Amazing food, fantastic atmosphere and lovely staff! All of the dishes are delicious but I recommend the "Belly Bao" and "Short & Beefy". The shakes are also crazy good! The chocolate one is my favourite, tastes like heaven and is definitely instagram worthy :)
My family and I had the privilege to have booked out the courtyard for a gender reveal. Was a beautiful experience. The food was amazing. Myself and my partner ordered the low and slow belly bao lunch deal for $15 and definitely left us feeling full. Everything was flavourful and the portions were just right! We ordered a range of platters, beverages, chicken wings were super yum!! Kids meals are filling also. Reasonably priced and no hire fee to book private! I had family running late to the event but it was no hassle at all to extend the time which took a lot of stress away. Communication was spot on and wasn’t a hassle to book!! They also cleaned up our confetti canon mess prior to me arranging that we would clean up! Awesome experience, Lovely customer service and delightful food. my family loved it and will definitely be back again. Thank you tucks and bao for the lovely evening.
Really enjoyed food here. It is asian fusion and done right! The dishes are to share. Some are small and some larger. Depends on your appetite, we had 4 dishes between 4 of us + dessert and that was enough for us. All the dishes we tried were delicious, they had their own unique flavours. Really enjoyed the wontons and the pad thai both had a tangy flavour I like. Definitely give it a go!

I lunched in at Tucks & Bao in Newmarket and was immediately impressed by how bustling the ambiance was with several groups of varying backgrounds and ethnicities inside.
The restaurant has several dining areas ranging from indoors, to the patio, outdoors and in the bar area.
Staff was very friendly and diverse and I was seated and had my ordered taken very efficiently.
I enjoyed the Filipino pulled pork Bao and Korean slaw, accompanied by a glass of Barossa Shiraz. My food and drink was fantastic and I’d like to visit here again trying other items on the menu. Prices were very reasonable.
It’s our second time here because my teenagers just love these baos, particularly the pork belly, yum! The service is great too, conversational and fast. Today I tried the Vietnamese drip coffee, if you like condensed milk, this is your kind of coffee!
Hidden a few blocks from the center of New Market! This little eatery makes delicious bao burgers and is super cute inside! As a 3 person party, we got a bao burger each (one of which was turned into a meal with fries) and 2 sides to share and it was the perfect amount of food!
The baos were gorgeous and delicious, the chips were thick and crispy and the sides were fairly large too!
Being just after lunch we were one of 3 tables occupied so it is definitely a good quiet lunch spot! And look at how cute it is!
Super cute asian fusion with plenty of vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options. The staff were so lovely and helpful and even bought us a free frozen margarita for ordering drinks during happy hour! Lots of on street parking and both indoor and outdoor seating options. Perfect for an intimate dinner with friends while you're in New Market. Right behind the cinemas so ideal for a bite pre or post movie. Will definitely come again!!
Food here is absolutely amazing! Portions are a bit small but for the most part the price reflects the portion size. Would recommend if you're looking for something different.
Their food is delicious but just that the quantity can be bigger. Their service is wonderful, no doubt. Excellent restaurant ambiance and very tidy. Their desserts are to die for. You would need to visit this place to enter that decadent dessert world.
Lovely dinning place! Friendly staff and impressive food! The tofu slaw was delicate and the crispy pork belly bao was so tender (could do with less hoisin sauce cuz it’s a bit too salty)
We ordered the pork ribs and spicy chicken wings. It was tasty and satisfying. Ribs were tender and moist. Portion was average.
