    I had the honor to be able to try Hot Asian buns after becoming a stand alone store and it is one of my favorite places to get BAO buns. Front staff is always amazing and BAO buns are made fresh every day giving the soft and fluff I'm sure we all enjoy. I recommend the beef bulgogi and loaded fries especially if you love kimchi as I do.

    This place is a little hidden gem, if you don't know where it is you will past it right by but it's the ambience is a small little cute restaurant with seating inside and outside with some good music. Food was really good I got the chicken buns and the beef buns with the loaded fries, and a lycee strawberry tea, I would go back just for the fries and the tea 1000% lol the service was nice and fast overall everything was good I'll give it a 8.7/10

    Hot Asian Buns never disappoints! It's a small place with a few tables, but it's very aesthetic and welcoming. When you walk in, you order at the counter, they give you a number and then they bring the food to your table. Every time I'm there, they're always very patient and happy to answer any questions while ordering. The food comes out quick and it's always constantly good. The bao buns are incredibly dense and fluffy and they don't skimp on the meat. The kimchi fries are also delicious and not spicy. It is a bit pricey, but for the quality and amount of food, it's worth it!

    2 Bun Combos with loaded Kimchi Fries. Absolutely incredible and fresh food.

    The atmosphere was vibrant, very playful and fun. Loved all the poster artwork on the walls. The staff was very friendly. My wife and I both tried the 2 bun combo. It was more food than I expected, but glad we got to try multiple flavors. The buns were some of the best texture I have ever had. The flavor was incredible. You can tell these weren't just throw together, there was some actual care given to making this food. The loaded Kimchi fries were so good my wife ended up stealing some of mine too haha. I tried their strawberry green tea drink, and it was delicious. I could not recommend this place enough, so if you're ever in the area, it's worth a little walk around the corner to stop in and try for yourself. I will definitely be back.

    Rainy Sundays call for Hot Asian Buns.. what a name! lol Got a haircut at Traditions next door and swung by after to check this place out. Was greeted warmly by the front staff. Ordered two items: TEMPURA SHRIMP BAO (Spicy Mayo, Eel Sauce, Red Onion, Romaine, Cilantro) - Very Tasty and was great starter LACQUERED PORK BELLY BOWL (Hoisen Sauce, Preserved Mustard Greens, Peanut Powder, Cilantro) - Pork Belly was melt in your mouth good. The pickled sides compliments it well. Definitely will be back to try the other menu items!

    I'm so pleased that I dined here for my birthday! You order your food and then take a number to your table, there's indoor and outdoor seating! Our server was so kind and willing to answer any questions we had. We got our food piping hot 15 minutes after we ordered. The bao was so fluffy and packed with fresh ingredients and tender meat. The fries are crispy in the general, but the kimchi on the loaded fries is delicious! It was actually my first time trying kimchi, and I loved it. The food is cooked in soy oil, and although one member of our party was soy-intolerant, they loved the pork asada bao and fries. Unfortunately, the portions of fries were small in the bao combos. All in all, I would dine here again as an Asian cuisine lover!

    We were in the area and I always wanted to try it! I heard about it when it was a food truck but never got the chance to go, especially since it's kind of farther away from where I live. If I lived closer, I would probably come a bit more often. The baos were so fluffy! They make them in-house and they were so fluffy and soaked up the flavors so nicely. They packed the baos so much that it was a bit hard to bit into at first. The kimchi loaded fries were really good too! The toppings on it were just right. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating which is nice, and the music wasn't at an uncomfortable volume, which made lunch time enjoyable. Parking may be a hassle in front of the store, but there's some parking lots nearby.

    Amazing soft bao buns! Packed with flavors and worth $6! My son always gets their porl belly bowl. He is a regular customer there already. He goes there every week! At this point, it is a tradition for him to get his pork belly fixed. The crew and service are awesome. They probably know my son by now.

    I love the decor and aesthetic here! I had two bao with shrimp and Korean chicken and fries. Food is cooked to order and was fresh and flavorful. Fries had a frozen taste to them though, but were ok with the sauce on them. I loved they offered complimentary fruit infused water. Great local spot! Check it out

    Great service, cute little place with great food! Everything was wonderful. We both enjoyed our meals. The Buns are made fresh there from scratch.

    This place is so good!! When I walked in it was a bit packed, but most of them were leaving just as I was taking a seat. They have a good menu, but ultimately I went with the Korean Chicken Baos. It didn't take long to get my food, plus I was a bit busy taking photos of the place because it's just so cute! Love the decor. Anyways the food was delicious! I really enjoyed the freshness of the slaw with the spicy chicken and sauce. Everything blended so well and the baos were nice and fluffy. I'm definitely going back to try the bulgogi next!

    I love this place! Staff is great and the food is on point. I ordered too much food just because to try the items.

    Hot Asian Buns is now one of our favorite places to eat in the downtown Sanford area. My husband and I split a bao combo, an additional bun, and wings. We enjoyed it all thoroughly but the wings were definitely the favorite. You order at the counter upon entering and food is later brought to your table. Not a formal dining setting. The interior of the restaurant was super cute and the service was good. We can't wait to go back!

    Are all or most of the food items spicy? We like a little spice, but mostly we prefer mild. Thanks.

    No, there is nothing there that is spicy or a high level of heat.

    What is the address of the house they are currently located behind?

The entire space is outdoors, with picnic tables, beautiful oak trees, and plenty of room to play on faux grass. We were especially excited for the swing for our kids, but unfortunately the swing was down during our visit. That said, there were still plenty of activities to keep them entertained, including life-size Connect 4, giant Jenga, ping pong, and cornhole. There was also a great DJ, which added to the overall lively atmosphere. The food was another highlight. They serve classic All-American favorites, the kind of dishes you'd typically grill in your own backyard, but elevated and even more delicious. Portions are generous, and everything tasted fresh. The wings were some of the best I've had, my husband really enjoyed his burger and fries, and my aunt loved the fish tacos. They also offer a kids' menu. Our son was a big fan of his burger. The biggest downside was the bugs. There were quite a few wasps and even some poisonous caterpillars (tussock moths) around. I understand the outdoor, "yard" concept, especially in Florida, but it would be great to see some added pest control measures. A few fans around the seating areas would also make a big difference. Overall, it's a super cute and unique spot. We'd definitely consider coming back, especially in the evening.

We shared the Philly cheesesteak with no mushrooms, mango habanero chicken bites (8 ct) with sauce on the side, and garlic knots. He asked if we wanted the knots to come out first - and we said yes, that's a great idea! The cheesesteak came out first - with mushrooms. We had to send it back. Then the chicken bites came out second - with the sauce tossed in. We were shy to send it back because we are still waiting for the cheesesteak to be remade. Lastly, the garlic knots came last (when we were offered for it to come first). Maybe we'll come back on another day when it's not so busy. Their cheesesteak was good in portion! Mango habanero was spicier than what I'm used to. Garlic knots were a win.
