Master Bao Manukau — Restaurant in Ōtara-Papatoetoe

Bought D13 beef flat hand pulled noodle soup and the meat was incredibly dry and had what appeared to be mold??! Not sure how mold can grow on dry beef but it was there.

No matter what this is a must try, bucket list, food stop is. That you just have to try. I can guarantee you will never...

Service was good 😊

Ordered the crispy chicken open bao *combo b *mini pork wonton soup- was not a fan of this.. did not taste like the shrimp & pork wonton soup, didn't like the weird taste of the soup, floating things & what looked like baby shrimp with eyes (would expect that in the shrimp & pork wonton soup)
