Behind the Dish

Soft shell crab is a street food favorite throughout Asia, prized for its sweet flavor and delicate crunch. At Mecha, we give it the bao treatment—tucking crispy tempura-fried crab into a fluffy steamed bun with yuzu chili mayo, pickled cucumbers, and fresh scallions. The result is a handheld bite packed with crunch, bright citrus, and a touch of sweet heat.
