" The food at The Chairman is usually delicious, but my last visit was underwhelming. I ordered the vegetarian bowl and found it to be oversalted. The service was friendly but slow. Still, the atmosphere has a nice vibe, and I appreciate the fresh ingredients. Maybe the next visit will be better. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had the most incredible lunch at The Chairman! Their spicy chicken baos are hands down my favorite! The flavors are bold, and the service was speedy. I would like to see better portion sizes for the price, though. Overall, it's a delightful experience, especially for a lunch break! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited The Chairman and was impressed by the flavors. The pork belly and chicken baos are my favorite. The only downside was that the place was quite small. But I guess that’s part of the charm. All in all, I had a great experience and will be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I brought my family to The Chairman last night, and everyone left satisfied. Great variety of baos for the kids to choose from, and they loved them! I enjoyed the rice bowl, which was well-seasoned and filling. However, it was a bit pricey for the amount of food. Still, we'll be back to try more menu items. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had an alright visit to The Chairman. The food was decent but somewhat on the pricey side. I felt the flavor lacked a little punch. The service was quick but could have been friendlier. The ambiance was pretty average; it serves the purpose for a quick bite. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited The Chairman again and still in love with their baos! The consistency is always impressive, especially the pork belly. It was juicy and just the right amount of sweet. Plus, the fries have an addictive crunch. My only complaint would be the limited seating—might be a bit tight during rush hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been a fan of The Chairman for years, and I was thrilled to find their brick-and-mortar location. The food is consistently excellent, and I love trying different baos each time. Their coca cola braised pork is a staple I always go back to, but the vegetarian options are surprisingly good too. Overall, it’s a must-try spot! " (*Curated Review*)
