Does this place have a kitchen? The pictures make it look tiny.

Once people figure out how to get up to the top level of CityWalk this will be very successful

Yes, you can get Panda Express up there, and a tattoo

The peasants on the lower level can enjoy their organic pizza and Coldstone

Does this restaurant. or anything in that food court, sell alcohol?

I've only walked through once, but I will definitely now be going up there in the future.

is beer alcohol? I -- ASSUME the Whopper Bar sells beer as that was (down south anyway) one of the reasons it is not a BK -- the other is the only sandwich they sell are whoppers.

cool, thank you! But I thought someone asked about alcohol upstairs (just forgot to include -- I think there is a whopper bar upstairs and they SHOULD sell beer there.

Oh I'm not sure about the Whopper Bar..


...While we're here, If I may suggest the Lucky Buddha may go well with said Whopper

The alcohol at Bao is on hold so only soda, water, and tea are being sold ATM.

If I had to guess, with the speed this went up, there was a snag with the liquor license or something.

 

[shiekra38]

Friends, I've made an egregious error

Earlier I misspoke and realized that Funky Buddha IPA was in fact the one I liked

I will be holding a press conference at noon

Since we're still here Funky Buddha will in fact go with a Whopper as well

 

[TheCodeMan95]

In what sense?

Is this Universal owned or an outside contractor?

Also, any menu pictures yet?

It's just a selfish thing - I know it's popular but I hate the fact that a Burger King and Moe's exist in Citywalk, lol

REVIEW: Bend the Bao opens at CityWalk Orlando

Bend the Bao has officially opened at CityWalk Orlando. The new restaurant features a variety of items that fuse popular Asian cuisine with diverse ingredients like crab cakes, pork belly, kimchee fried chicken, and more – creating an entirely new mash-up that “bends” the idea of a traditional bao.

Tried it out the morning of opening. This just happened to be the last few hours of our trip, so it was a welcome surprise. We had about 8 parties in front of us right at the 11 AM opening and everything moved pretty quickly. I asked for no crema on both of mine and they screwed that up, but fixed it incredibly fast. Overall, it was pretty tasty stuff. If the speed of service stays this high, we'll check it out again on the next trip!
