It takes a lot to impress me but How Bao Now did more than just impress me. From the moment we walked in Jason, our waitron, welcomed us and made us feel so very comfortable. His service was impeccable and was matched by truly superb food. I cannot fault anything in this absolute gem of a restaurant. The flavours of the three course meal were truly stunning and I have not tasted such splendid Asian cuisine in a very long time. Huge kudos to the Chefs and their team !
