Take a Bao 2.0

Formerly just a stand at the Century City mall (huzzah!), this casual Asian eatery's upped its game with a modern-ish, shadow-box laden interior, a full-on bar w/ beer floats and specialty cocktails like Thai-basil lemonade, and a more extensive food menu featuring deliciousness like duck confit with grilled scallions & plum hoisin sauce, and twice-fried chicken with garlic-lime aioli, as well as a massive selection of buns, which's what your girlfriend will call yours if you frequent this place too often.
