The best fries ever!!
Such a cute little place. Very limited menu, but the food was sooo good. Overpriced in my opinion, but happy that I experienced How Bao Now

We really enjoyed a trip to How Bao Now for Restaurant Week. It's cosy with really good service. A small menu but each dish is delicious.

"Pocket size explosion of taste and style"

What a cool, cool, little spot! We love coming to the Old Biscuit Mill but often times the food market gets too busy to be able to sit down and enjoy your food there. Enter - How Bao Now. This tiny super stylish eatery serves the most delicious bao buns in a laid back vibe, and the extended offering for Restaurant week was even better. Love, love, loved it and plan to be back soon.
