Modern Asian American Restaurant from Chefs Peter Lee & Felicia Medina.

"Consider the bao. Chinese in origin, it’s most easily described as a steamed bun filled with something savory. Yet, like the American concept of a sandwich, the bao exploded into a flexible format of untold bounds — served at any meal, filled with you-name-it, completely closed or wide open, with endless regional variants from across Asia and far beyond." - Matt Kettmann (SB Independent)

                              The food is very good although I wish there were more gluten-free options. Didn’t really like the diner style atmosphere. Would’ve been more relaxing if it were a slightly more elevated dining experience.

                              I really love the food at Secret Bao! The flavors, textures and profiles are always innovative and delicious! Moreover, the waitresses are always so kind! I really respect and admire what’s happening here. The only thing I don’t Iove is how it often feels like the restaurant is doing us a favor by letting us eat there. Today, we came in 10 mins after our reservation and were seated but immediately told that there was a reservation after us 1 hr 20 mins later — honestly, the whole meal we were thinking about a ticking clock. I get it, it’s always busy here, but that can dampen a whole dining experience.

                              We were one of the first people entered the restaurant when it first opened. However, they were already out of one of the special of the day item. The waiter said they only had 2 of those to begin with. Why put on a special menu if you don’t have enough. Another item, the Korean Paella, the chef cannot make it because they’re too busy in the kitchen. They could only make 1 for the table behind us. I have never heard of a restaurant too busy to make something for the customers. We would have understood if we had to wait a bit, but not able to make the order?? We will not be returning to this restaurant ever again.
