About This Dish

About Our Lobster Bao

Our Lobster Bao starts with a simple idea: sweet, tender lobster deserves a soft landing. The bun is steamed until pillowy, filled with lobster and a bright house sauce, then finished with fresh garnish so the bite stays light rather than heavy.

It is one of the first plates regulars add to the table at our Academy Road bistro, and it sits happily beside our signature sushi rolls and grilled tapas. Dine in at 612 Academy Rd in River Heights, or order it online for takeout pickup.
