They have a small menu of steamed & baked buns with exotic fillings (including a great vegetarian offering), but everything is unique, well-prepared, & fresh. There's always a line but worth the wait. Read more

Even with two CA restaurants , the Chairman draws a crowd during lunch hour. This Bay Area staple is known for its bao-centric eats, so order the steamed pork belly buns topped with pickled veggies . Read more

The Steamed Bao are delicious. Great mix of tasty protein, flavorful veggies and sauces. All are worth trying.

This truck has some seriously amazing gua bao . Pork belly was absolutely phenomenal, I literally ordered more just to taste it again it was so good

The tofu isn’t vegan , it contains buttermilk ????????‍♀️. They told me they could make me some w/o and I thought that meant tofu w/o buttermilk but what I got was 3 baos filled with garnish . ????

One baked bun or two steamed buns are enough for lunch . If you're really hungry, get one baked and one steamed.

Get one of each bun . Yes, even tofu . The spicy chicken one is my favorite.
