Food 4 Thought

Sought this restaurant out before a concert after hearing about it on the Off Menu podcast ages ago. Really glad we did! Tiny place but fast service so high turnover, I don't think you'd wait long for a table. We sat in the window at the bar where we could people watch or watch the open kitchen. Good drink selection, cans of Peachy and Karma kola were very welcome. We had a selection of boa buns and a short rib rice bowl. Both were packed with flavour and the meats were so tender. The bowl was a large portion with a really fresh and varied selection of pickles. Jury is still out on the salted egg yoke thought! The only downside to this place is the location. Not the nicest road and a little pungent on the street outside. Do not let that put you off you - seek this hidden gem out, you wont regret it. Just round the corner from the station, their takeaway would definitely be better than a sad sandwich!

My dad and I were recommended this place and happy we came. Personable chefs and server, gave us some good choices and we weren’t disappointed. The beef was perfectly cooked, and portions were huge, worth the money. Small interior but cozy and warm! Would come back again next time in Birmingham!Recommended dishesBraised Pork Belly Bao & Lamb Bao, Belly Pork Rice Bowl, Braised Beef Shin Rice Bowl

This is an incredibly tasty and cozy place. The staff are very welcoming and a joy to chat to. Food is incredible - I keep coming back with friends and family, whether for lunch or dinner. For me the bao buns were the absolute highlight.

Superb bao. We had 4 different options lamb, pork, chicken and duck. They were packed with flavour, with pickles and sauces complimenting the meat perfectly. Nice small selection of beers too, but opted for their Punchy non alcoholic drinks which went perfectly with the food

Great bao buns and a great variety of options. The chicken, pork belly and duck were all delicious. The confit duck egg was very nice, but quite rich! Wish the bar was a bit deeper so that we could sit with our legs under. Was uncomfortable to sit at the bar.

Tiny, cozy, fast and full of flavor can describe this place! Service is excellent, really friendly staff, however the center of the place is flavor. Baos are steamed in front of you, the presentation is good, they are good size and will fill you fast. However the highlight here is the flavors, pork belly was super tender and packed with flavor, the fried chicken one was amazing, perfectly cooked, crispy outside but tender and juicy inside, definitely a treat!

This was suggested by a colleague and I do highly recommend it! It’s a very cozy tiny place near grand central station with great art and minimal interior with very friendly staff! Lovely Asian flavour palette. Definitely recommend it!Recommended dishesBao Bun, Braised Beef Shin Rice Bowl

We had the belly pork and brisket beef rice bowls both was fresh and very very tasty. Plus the service being fast you can't ask for much more. Very happy and well worth a visit.

Delicious! Worth a trip. It was very busy when we arrived but we only had to wait a short while to get seated. Sam, the Head Chef, looked after us brilliantly serving the baos and rice bowl as they were ready. Despite it being so busy we felt very well looked after and really enjoyed the excellent food. Will be back.

Delicious rice bowls, we had braised beef and duck breast, both were very tasty, aubergine as a side was a perfect add. Friendly environment and quick service … makes this place the perfect spot to have a meal on the run or a quick catch up with a friend, sitting places are limited to 10-12 people .
