We arrived at 4:45 to get in some fun before a concert and it was pretty full even at this early time. The photos say it all. They decorated every area they could with grinch and Christmas decor. Does it look like someone vomited Christmas? Of course it does and that is what makes it festive. We were seated at a table near the door so we enjoyed people watching and a fantastic DJ. The music was loud -but it is a bar -and we could still have a conversation. People were dressed in great Christmas "costumes" and it was generally just a high spirited vibe. For a crowded busy bar I was not expecting great service but we got it. Friendly and timely! We ordered flatbreads and they were tasty. Drinks are themed and festive. I'm glad we caught this pop up bar!

The Bao they serve consist of Soft Shell Crab Bao sweet + sour mayo, cucumber, & thai chili dipping sauce Crispy Chicken Bao shredded cabbage & red jalapeno honey Breakfast Bao smoked bacon, soft scrambled egg, roasted tomato, avocado, & broccoli shoots Pork Belly Bao pickled apple, hoisin, & cilantro The only one I have not tried is the pork belly. My favorite so far is the crispy chicken. Everything is so fresh and the bao buns are the perfect fluffy container for the delicious ingredients. I also want to point out that these 2 are so welcoming and engage with their customers. You can tell they genuinely love what they are doing and it shows in their food. Go find them at the farmers market and throw them some support! You will be glad you did.

My favorite was the pork belly for sure: generous portion of tender and crispy pork belly with delicious toppings on a soft bao bun. The acidity of the pickled apple complimented the sweet and salty pork really well. Each bao is assembled with care, you can not only see it, you can also taste it. I need to try the soft shell crab bao next time!

Back when I visited Phoenix, I had the pleasure of eating at JT's curry wagon. Circled the uptown…read morefarmers market a couple times to scope out what we had and I knew I had to come back and hit this one and boy, am I glad I did. I went with the black belt curry which is a 50/50 split of the japanese vegetable curry and the braised pork belly dish they have. Found myself a seat under a nearby tent- there are plenty of options since people are constantly rotating in and out of the tables. It was a warm day - be sure to try and secure a shady spot. On to the food, the portion was massive. My wife and I picked on a few other things before here, but we both have healthy appetites. The black belt curry was rich, hearty and absolutely delicious. I still remember the potatoes in that Japanese curry - they were slightly chewy, creamy and I couldn't get enough of them. The braised pork belly was tender, rich, and very flavorful, not too fatty which is something you often have to worry about with pork belly curry dishes. All around fantastic spot and I would highly recommend. The Japanese curry screams "comfort" while the braised pork belly screams "rich" if that helps you decide, or just get both like I did with the black blet!

My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this stand at Uptown Market a couple weeks ago, and were so impressed by the 50/50. The dish is half curry -- deliciously thick and made from scratch -- and half lu rou fan, which includes the softest, flavorful pork belly. It also includes a few delicious pickled cucumbers and a perfectly jammy marinated egg. Lao gan ma always available to top!! The owner, Jonny, is so welcoming and enthusiastic. He was so happy to have us sample his unique drinks (a frozen thai tea and a lychee lemonade with jellies), and we were so thrilled to honestly say they were delicious! The thai tea flavor was really strong and aromatic. The price is super fair for how much you get. Our dish was packed to the brim, and they really don't skimp on the pork belly. Will 1000% make this out go-to farmer's market meal.

We also requested some table bread which they brought out with a pesto dip. Salads were super fresh and the combination of ingredients complimented one another.

Ambiance: the place was packed for lunch on a Friday. I wish they had a location in Henderson, NV as I would love to try more of their dishes!

Lol I'm not sure who was put in charge of this listing but Phoenix isn't even spelled right so be aware of the correct name for the shop and the correct websites: http://www.phxart.org/project http://www.cityscapephoenix.com/events/phxartproject-cityscape-presented-by-the-phoenix-art-museum/ From November 24 to January 7, the Phoenix Art Museum has a pop up shop selling gift items, with performances and special exhibitions for display. The shop is spacious and the items were all very unique and would make cute or funny gifts. They could probably fit some more items in this space for sale but it was a fun store to browse in while we were at Cityscape. The installation at the shop when I was here was Saskia Jordá's Cacerolazo. If you're at Cityscape it's worth a stop since you get a shopping experience and get to see some modern art all in the same place.
