No Encore for Take a Bao

When you go out with friends, you want food that captures your attention and taste but is subtle enough that your focus on it doesn't undermine your conversation. When we arrived at Take a Bao, the service was slow getting us to our table ordering our food, and then delivering said food. A lot of waiting and sipping sodas. My friends ordered some beef bowls and I ordered the vegetarian soup, fries and popcorn tofu for the table. Though we ordered very different dishes, they all tasted the same. There was no flavor variation from meal to meal, and they were all insanely spicy! My soup was the most mild so I didn't develop the same ball of fire in my stomach that my friends did. We were so focused on stomaching this uncomfort food that our conversations were short, strained and about how we wished we had gone somewhere else. I have closed my curtain on Take a Bao.
