" First time trying Bun'd Up, and I’m definitely coming back! The shrimp bao was delicious and seasoned perfectly. I can genuinely say that it’s one of the better bao places I've been to. The staff was accommodating even though they were busy. Highly recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was blown away by the quality of their buns! Each one I tried had unique flavors and textures that complemented each other perfectly. The staff was incredibly welcoming, adding to the great experience. Can't wait to tell my friends about this gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing all the hype, I finally tried Bun'd Up. The wait was longer than expected, but the pork belly bun was heavenly! It was juicy, flavorful, and paired perfectly with their tangy sauce. The atmosphere was lively, especially in Union Market. However, my friend who tried the fried tofu bun found it bland. I'd definitely visit again but will stick with the meat dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an average experience at Bun'd Up. The food was satisfactory, but the pork belly bun was a tad greasy and not very memorable. I was hungry after just two buns. The service was efficient, but they could work on their customer approach, as the staff seemed a bit uninterested in assisting. " (*Curated Review*)

" Bun'd Up has a reputation that proceeds them! The pork belly bao is indeed fantastic, but I was hoping for a bit more variety in the vegetarian options. It's a shame as I really wanted to enjoy something other than just the tofu bao. However, I must admit the staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was lively. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant has some of the best buns I've ever tasted! The pork belly bun is a must-try. It was deliciously soft and packed with flavor. My only gripe is that the wait time was longer than expected, but the food was worth it. Can't wait to come back and try more! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, just wow! I ordered the seasonal mushroom bun, and it was such a pleasant surprise. It was light yet packed with flavor! The staff was friendly and attentive, which made my meal all the more enjoyable. I am definitely coming back to try their other signature buns. This place is a hidden gem! " (*Curated Review*)
