The Old Quarter - Wellington

I had my first meal in Wellington, and I’m so glad I chose this place for lunch! For just $15, I enjoyed a bao filled with soft shell crab, three chicken wings, a small pho, and a small brownie. The bao was incredibly soft, and the soft shell crab was perfectly fried and crispy. The sauce in the bao was absolutely delicious! The chicken wings were juicy, but I felt they could have used a bit more flavor—perhaps the hearty pho broth overshadowed their taste. Speaking of the pho, the broth was rich and flavorful! When I first entered the restaurant, the aroma of the broth was so enticing that I was tempted to order pho right away, but I was also eager to try the bao. In the end, I was not disappointed at all. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Wellington!

Went here for lunch and got one of the $15 lunch specials (bbq chicken bao, 3x fries pork dumpling, cup of broth, small brownie) and it was DELICIOUS. Bone broth was a serious stand out, will have to get pho next time because the broth was that good. But everything I had on my plate was stacked full of flavour. Lots of gf, vegan and vegetarian options. Only thing I’d say is if you’re feeling particularly or you’re a big eater would be to order something bigger than the lunch special.

Dunno why I'd never been here before. Fresh, yummy food with enough vegan options to make you feel like you actually have a choice. Fresh funky decor too. Friendly staff. Would give 4.5 stars as a more accurate review as food is good while not absolutely amazing, still will definitely be coming back!

Yeah MFs! This place is where its at! Tried the $15 lunch special and I am hooked! My friend had the beef curry and it was jam packed with flavour. I had the soft shell crab bao and dumplings : yep this place does good dumplings. This is also the first time I've had a bao that doesn't have a dry bun!!! What was also awesome and unexpected was a chocolate brownie to finish off! Big ups to the front of house staff too . #1fan

The $15 lunch deal is a very good option as it comes with a lot of food. this is also a good place to go with vegetarian and vegan, as there are many possibilities for them to choose. the personal is always beautiful and the eating is delicious
