Wow! Really great flavor combinations on the Baos, I had the beef and pork which had completely different flavor profiles and fresh flavors on a tender bun. Cucumber salad with Gochuhlgaru, herbs and peanuts was an excellent foil to the rich buns.

Whenever I'm in Downtown Austin this is my go-to. The salmon bowl is incredible and just feels so healthy. The food here could easily rival that of any tier one sit-down restaurant. You can tell this is a chef driven menu, and Austin is lucky to have a lunch spot like this that is fast and to-go friendly. Please open one in Houston.

If you’ve ever watched a Food Network show and thought “that looks so good”, then this is where you can go to turn those dreams into reality. The Miso Butter Salmon was exactly the experience I thought I’d get if one of those plates hopped out of my TV and into my mouth. I gotta come back to try the bao and desserts, but they’ve set the bar quite high at this point. Looking forward to the next visit!

Golden Boy brought a lot of life back into the downtown Austin food scene. The menu selection is super unique and tasty. I normally feel sluggish after lunch, but their salmon bowl fueled me up for the rest of my work day and I felt like I was at 110%! Definitely have to come back and try the rest of the menu items!

Best food and vibes in ATX! I've been there 10 times already and am taking the whole family there later this week! I love their bowls (salmon and chicken), pork belly bao, salads. Everything is so flavorful and well-done - highly recommend checking out!

Quite literally the best food and friendliest staff + chef in Austin. That buffalo chicken bao is my kryptonite and the bowls are amazing too! If they have an espresso cookie available it's a must try.

The tastiest lunch I’ve had in a long time. Their Bao’s are unique and delicious and their salads and bowls are fresh, filling and full of flavor. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with any of the options. Also, try the desnudo cookies!

Absolutely love this spot for lunch! The bowls are packed with flavor, and the baos? Unreal and totally addictive. On top of that, the people here are the absolute best :)
