Secret Bao is a hidden gem in Santa Barbara! 🌟 The atmosphere is trendy yet casual, making it perfect for both lunch and dinner. I loved the steamed bao buns filled with savory pork and rich flavors. The fast service was impressive, even during the dinner rush.

We enjoyed happy-hour cocktails on their outdoor patio - great vibe! 🍹 The vegetarian options didn't disappoint either, and I appreciated the organic ingredients.

Plus, it’s super accessible with plenty of parking! Don't forget to try their dessert; it’s a delightful ending to a scrumptious meal. Definitely recommend making a reservation!
