Calling all bao enthusiasts and food lovers! Get ready for a mouthwatering experience as we team up with our friends, Angry Bao, to host a bao-making popup event at Hank’s Dupont Circle on Monday, October 23.

When you arrive, you’ll be greeted with a shot of soju and shishito pepper snacks. Take a seat and watch as Angry Bao Chef Steve Kim demonstrates the art of crafting the perfect bao. Following the demo, we will provide you with bao dough to roll and shape to perfection.
