Went here for a late night dinner with friends on a weekday night. There were only a few other people there, however it took awhile standing near the counter for the waiters to realise that we wanted a table for a meal.
We ordered the fried cauliflower (the subtle flavours of the cauliflower was lost amongst the thick layers of batter and was soaked with overly sweet sauce), wok-tossed morning glory (fine), beef skewers (a bit dry and tough, but with a nice smokey flavour), fried calamari (fine) and the Asian veggie salad (agreed by all the highlight, with some interesting textures and flavours).
Didn't get to try the pork belly bao, however my friend thought the pork belly wasn't fatty enough (compared to the ones she had in Taipei).
These five small dishes were enough to adequately quench four adults' hunger.
Cocktails were on the pricey end - $16-19 each.
Service (besides the initial confusion) was friendly and efficient. Ambience casual and fun.
Overall, a reasonably average but adequate late night haunt for Asian street foods.

Lovely looking place with friendly staff, really enjoyed the cocktails I had (touch of zen is excellent). If your in a group drinking definitely go for a scorpion bowl, food was exceptional! Bao's for life!

This is an Asian fusion restaurant and the decor is best described as "seedy south east Asian bar". Prices are not cheap but the food is tasty. The lunch specials are particularly good value in my opinion and will leave you full and satisfied.

Dark little place with cool music and lighting. Staff were pretty attentive after our arrival for an early dinner booking. As the night wore on there were some who certainly lost interest in customer service but some very helpful and friendly. Ran out of a particular wine after 1 glass, bit disappointing for early on a Saturday night! Ordered multiple bao bao, ribs, pineapple fried rice, calamari, all delicious and arrived pretty quickly. We were sat at a high table with stools and I'm probably showing my age when I say my bum was going numb by the end. Overall a decent night out

Love love love love pork bau. Great atmosphere for large group or for a couple on a shared table. Beer and bau, I don't need anything else. Other food is also good.

Absolutely love Kwan Brothers. Have only ever had one meal issue and it was fixed straight away. Staff are always lovely. Good value for money considering the atmosphere and quality of the food. Highly recommend all their Bao's, especially their pork.

Food is full of flavour. The watermelon and pork belly skewers are great. The bao is tasty however the frozen buns hurt the stomach if you're sensitive to gluten. Otherwise food is good with attentive service

Came on a Sunday at 5, just when the kitchen opened. There were not many people, service was fast and friendly.
We ordered the pork baos special, it was crispy yet tender and soft pork pieces in nice soft steamed baos. Extremely delicious, went well with the sauces and the garnishings.

Next up was the kwans fried chicken - the fried chicken was a 3.5/5, but the standout that extremely complemented the chicken, was the sriracha mayo. If you're a big fan of sriracha like me, do order this dish or the calamari that comes with the sriracha mayo. It will blow your mind - it's extremely delectable but not that spicy at the same time.

The last savoury dish we had was the Malaysian beef rib, it was very flavourful. Sometimes though, the charcoal flavour would overpower the dish. It is also a spicy dish, best served with rice.

Lastly, for sweets we ordered the ice cream baos. The deep fried baos were so tasty and crispy, but really overpowered the ice creams. My advice would be to have the ice creams as a dip or separately by itself.

Will come back again if we're in the area, as parking is quite a problem in the valley.

Food was sooo good! Duck spring rolls and crispy pork belly steamed bao buns for entrees, followed by Korean beef bulgogi skewers, BBQ beef bibimbap, and Malaysian beef short rib rendang curry. Everything was amazing and really fast service. Quiet cozy place, with good music in the background so you can talk easily. Draught beers on tap are well priced too!

Food is great. The Bailey sliders (particularly the pork) are delicious. Try the pineapple rice and the crispy pork salad, they are very good too. Fun atmosphere and good selection of beers. Be sure to book on busy nights (thurs, fri and sat) otherwise you won’t get a table.

Had heard very mixed reviews about this place, but when I visited it was absolutely on point. First thing is it's great to be able to get a decent menu late at night somewhere. This was around 9 on a Saturday night, the atmosphere was much more party with quite loud music but not unpleasant or unbearable for me. The food was sensational, we had the salt and pepper calamari, the pork belly, and the fried chicken. All with plenty of flavour, hot and fresh, and delicious. Serving sizes were reasonable for the prices, not amazing value but fair. And it was nice that given the late hour and more relaxed atmosphere service levels were still maintained.

Great restaurant. The decoration is nicely done. They also have a big table to receive big groups. I would recommend the chicken salad. The prices are a little bit high but the dishes are pretty big. However I thought that the boas were pretty small and not filled with enough meat.

Great food, super tasty. The range of bao is awesome. Don't miss the pork belly house special.
