Nguyen opened the Mills 50 location in 2016, according to the company’s website.
The other two locations of King Bao are at 710 N. Mills Ave. in Orlando’s Mills 50 District and 11768 E. Colonial Drive, not far from the campus of the University of Central Florida.
The restaurant focuses on selling bao buns — a steamed bread that is filled with meat and vegetables that looks similar to a taco. The dish is a popular street food in parts of Asia.
