Delicious food influenced by a variety of Chinese and SE Asian regions. The menu rotates quite frequently so there's always something new to try. The Hong Kong style egg tarts are a must have, as are the steamed buns (haven't had a filling I didn't like yet). On our last visit, they had one of my favorite Sichuan style dishes, Ants Climbing a Tree, and it was masterfully spiced and balanced. I've also enjoyed the banh mi sandwich and the cold sesame noodles. Their milk tea boba (the actual tapioca balls) are the best I've had in Maine - perfectly soft and chewy. They also have a small selection of pan-Asian grocery goods that can be harder to find around here, so that's also a great reason to stop in.
Love the skill that this restaurant has brought to our town. Look forward to eating here for many years to come!
Favorite Place, Favorite People
Nice place, with some items ready to go if you're in a hurry; other items prepared to order. Uber-local (produce grown upstairs!) and tasty! Vietnamese coffee, bahn mi...
I got the Phillipino Empanadas, sesame breakfast bun, and curry puff, at 5pm, after they’d been out all day, and they were all still fresh, and absolutely delicious. I still have the cucumbers to try, but I can say I’ll definitely be back, with a fair amount of happy confidence.
Wow, what a gem of the area! Fantastic pan Asian offerings. Especially enjoyed the shrimp with noodles, gyoza, fried cauliflower. Great options for taking specialty Asian groceries home, too. They’ve got my favorite Momofuku ‘fancy’ ramen noodles, frozen dumplings, noodles, wine, and intriguing whisky barrel aged fish oil. There are 8 tables, first come first serve, sometimes random hours so you may want to check they’re open. Good for takeout and baked items, too!
I like the fact that they have nice asian grocery items. A bit on the costly side, but worth it for people living in Brunswick.
Very nice waitress pointed me to and explain each offering. I ordered 3 totally unknown items, I ate outside under umbrella and flowers, vegetables around. It was DELICIOUS! Definitely a come back.
The bao was amazing and the other food was so good! A must stop if you’re in the area
Such a gem! Everything was absolutely delicious and fresh. Kind staff.
Creative fresh Asian a la carte dishes, and lots of snacks for takeout
WOW! All I can say! Everything is so delicious!!! The service is amazing!!! The selection of goodies as well as prepared food is the bomb!!!! Will be back NUMEROUS times!
Everything we tried; both hot/cold or savory/sweet was delicious. The space itself is so pleasant and the variety of Asian grocery products was great! We will definitely be back soon :) A note for parents though - they don’t have high chairs and it’s not a very baby/ young kid friendly space. Our 1 year old was okay sitting / standing in the booth seat though!
Great spot for a quick snack. The market was nice also
I will never get enough of their pork buns.
Inspirational cuisine can be found in this wonderful cafe. In addition to having hot and cold prepared foods to delight the senses there's also a wide variety of pickled and frozen items to go. I'll be back to get more coconut macaroons.
Amazing food and service in the middle of Maine. The staff is incredible friendly, plus you can do some shopping while you wait. The store is filled with curious Japanese snacks and goodies.
Zao and Tao remain fantastic places to entertain your pallette.
So delicious! Order anything and you cannot go wrong.
Amazing, flavorful food! All the dishes have a lot of thought put behind them. Probably the best cafe/restraunt in Brunswick
