“Delicious and fun fusion. We got the bao trio (one of each) and the buffalo one was my favorite. Kimchi arancini was tasty, loved the mango slaw but it kinda missed on the kimchi flavor. Again tasty but didn't get much kimchi. We also got the dumplings with a perfect crispy bottom and amazing sauce and the tonkatsu sammie. Happy hour pricing was amazing!”
“Lovely Monday Eve dinner. The food was half off during the 5-6 stretch, so we lucked out as we were headed to the theater. Loved the buns and the dumplings. Great drink and wonderful service. Everything we ate was tasty!”
“We enjoyed a wonderful brunch with vegetarian takes on chilaquiles and bao buns. A very nice menu with both large and small portion options. That said, it was about $100 w/o tip and only coffee and no alcohol. There’s something for all. Service was fine but maybe not as attentive as I might have expected. The restaurant was full by the time we finished. We arrived without a reservation but our party of three didn't have to wait to be seated. We agreed. We would return for another meal. Look for the red door. Signage is small.”
“Brought my family here. We had a blast. The food is delicious! Waitress was quite rude to our family, did not appreciate being asked questions about the menu... But we did not let her sass dampen our moods for our lovely night out. The names of birds for the cocktails are clever -there were also mocktails for the other half of our party that doesn't drink! Cocktails were alright, a little weak. But we did not mind, as we came for the food. The macaroni and cheese was insanely delicious. We could not get enough of the broccoli! Flavourful and ADDICTIVE! Would definitely come back. The area is cute, and the atmosphere is decorated so fun.”
“Walking into Ladybird felt like stepping into a Charlotte Brontë novel: cozy, moody, and quietly romantic. I had the bao buns and waffles with fried mushroom, both fully vegan and packed with flavor. The bao were soft and satisfying, coated with delicious sauces. while the waffles stood out: crispy, fluffy, and topped with rich, savory mushrooms. Comforting yet elevated, it’s the kind of place you’ll want to come back to.”
