I like the Pao's, too. They're sort of gelatinous in the middle in a strange way, but satisfying. Basil flavor is great. I just don't understand why they don't offer any nighttime dinner options, aside from salads. The rest of the day they stuff those chewy pao pockets with different hot mixtures, like eggs and salmon for breakfast, and other things for lunch, but nada for dinner. I think that would really help this place survive, especially in a neighborhood where it's hard to find satisfying dinner options under $10. Yeah, I live near this place, and it’s good.

Beard Papa is tasty but not something I'd go out of my way for. I actually don't like crispy puff shells-I like to put the puffs in the fridge overnight so the custard gets extra cold and the pastry gets spongy and chewy.

It was so surreal. and then it disappeared. Me personally I worry about these single product places, they can be puzzling. there used to be this cream puff place near Macy’s but hidden in the heart of the garment district. funny thing was that I was the only customer I ever saw inside. all the fillings were in upright storage units, like the ones used for bulk foods, but with a metal hollow tube that you stuck your cream puff into to fill it with custard.
