Great place for Chinese lunch rice bowls downtown. More authentic than I expected for downtown. Quality ingredients with reasonably authentic flavors. Price was in line with other options at Understory. Ordering was fast and efficient. Staff was friendly and were happy to answer questions. My favorite was the Honey Braised Pork Belly Rice Bowl. It has tender flavorful honey roasted pork belly balanced with steamed bok choy on a bed of rice. The eggplant sauce was delicious. I wouldn't mind a more bold mapo tofu flavor, but I understand that you're downtown. All of the bowls were well portioned for lunch. The prices are a little high but in line with the other places of this caliber downtown / at Understory. The limited menu allows them to focus on a handful of great dishes for efficiency. It looks like they have rotating specials / additions to the menu that give some variety. It's part of Understory so there's a large amount of central seating.

This place is a rip off and the ratings it has are misleading. First off, they have a very limited variety of foods (like 5 or less most of which are noodles) yet they’ve displayed all these different foods on their menu like ‘honey glazed pork belly with rice, or chicken tenders with rice,” but the poor cashier (who was actually very pleasant) kept saying, “I’m sorry, we don’t have that.” Just so you know, I paid a parking fee of $9 and got served food worth $17.99. I didn’t mind but then my plate (plastic carry out container) had like 90% rice and just a little cod fish gravy thinly spread over the mountain of rice to fool you. I ain’t going back there!

Great location, friendly staff, and delicious food. Portions were generous. We had the pork belly rice bowl which had tons of tender, flavorful pork belly. The cucumber and lotus salad was bright and crisp with good spice. It was a nice balance paired with the pork belly. If anything needs more spice, the staff offers up their house made chili oil.

A friend and I gave Bashi a try and we loved it! The portions were very generous and I had plenty of leftovers for dinner. I got the braised pork belly and added a ramen egg. I normally order extra protein but there was no need. We split the chili oil wontons and they were great; sweet and not very spicy. My friend loved the dan dan noodles and said they definitely have a kick. The customer service was great! Bashi is now on our lunchtime rotation.

Had the vegan wontons, absolutely incredible. The sauce was amazing, every bite — wonderful! You can tell it was made with love and worth every penny. Highly recommend!
