Just opened. First time here. It's great to have a different alternative food place in Gulfport! Overall pretty good. Great tasty and fresh ingredients. I'll definitely be back to try more stuff. We had two orders of Bao. One simmered pork with cilantro, daikon/carrots and tomatoes, garlic type of mayo, with the V-Bomb sauce.

If you’re looking for something fresh, different, and absolutely delicious, this...
Read moreWow! VERY yummy! I had the rice bowl with lemongrass chicken, my friend had the rice bowl with lemongrass pork and we shared some summer rolls All the portions were generous, I even had leftovers. The ingredients were very fresh and seasoned perfectly. The variety available was hard to choose between. Opening friday had a line down to the corner and the wait was well worth it! Even with the line and customers placing their first orders ever the staff was patient, kind and seemed to have fun, even though they were going to be exhausted at the end of their shift. I had a thai tea with boba added that was not over sweetened and it was a very generous size as well. I can't wait to go back and try...
