Chow Bao is small food business that focus on BAO buns and asian fusion food.
Amazing! We ordered a variety of items, and every bite was awesome. Definitely recommend!!
Great takoyaki this side of the country. I have to say it is as authentic as the ones I got in BC and other Japanese restaurants. The noodles were great and it was a good short meal that was filling. Cost with tip at $26 and was thoroughly surprise at the quality. Definitely recommend this place as a light bite if anyone is driving through Lloydminster and wants a quick meal vice a full sit down meal.
This place is great! The bao are huuge and the bun part itself is incredibly fluffy and tasty. The tofu takoyaki is also incredible. Staff was very friendly and it took a little longer to get the food than was indicated on the website, so there may be an issue with how that’s set up. Inside is small and cute, not really for dine in with more than a couple people but the food is not the type you sit and stay for long. Overall the vibe was immaculate. It was well worth the extra ten or so minutes for my food
What an amazing gem in the midst of a fast food plague.... Dramatic I know!! But really!! They are amazing!! The gentleman behind the counter helped us with our selection and was super friendly!! The sitting area is small and cute!! We loved our meals, I had the pork belly Bao and my boyfriend had the Pulled pork Bao, with crab Rangoon and spring rolls. Wow!! Just wow!! I will be back, I will be bringing friends!!
Ordered through DoorDash. Thai Chicken Noodle Bowl. Was FAST and so amazingly good- so much flavour! I can’t wait to try more items in the future!
Omg this food was insanely good . I can’t believe how delicious it was it’s a cute little place it’s made with care and attention and I absolutely looooooooved the food I’m so happy I found this little gem 👌🏼
Great selection of amazing food! Really hard to find though, it is inside a discount store at the back. More signage would help. Still worth hunting down though, the takoyaki and Bao were absolutely delicious!
You need to order online ahead of time. But other than that the food was delicious and definitely would go again. The price was reasonable and the owners are really nice. I'm really happy to see some diversity in cuisine.
Great food and an amazing family running it . Lloydminsters little gem spot
Friendly staff, great service, and amazing food
Delicious, and actually spicy
Unreal. The food here is amazing. I never write reviews but I d like to have this place stick around so here I am. I ve had 4 of the bar buns and they were all deadly.
Incredible food, quick and friendly service. Definitely a new favorite!
Good local place to go to if youre in Lloyd!
Food was absolutely delicious!
Stopped in on a whim for lunch and am i ever glad I did. Friendly helpful staff, Great food, and reasonably priced. Food was hot and fresh. Will definitely be back.
I dream about the pork belly banh-mi, fresh and so flavourful. I go every time I am in Lloydminster.
I ordered from skip and was craving sweet and sour pork, it was amazing! the rice was definitely overcooked but the flavors were great and the dumplings were delicious with the sweet soy sauce! We will definitely be ordering again soon
Wow! Finally, another great taste, great menu , friendly service and a awesome price!!
Wow, if youve never tried Bao Buns before then you HAVE TO start with the Crispy Chicken! Delicious and flavorful breading plus perfect toppings to complement the neutral flavors. For those more experienced in Asian flavor combos we loved the Gochujang Bao as well!
Very very good food we did delivery, if we stop by Lloydminster again will definitely order from them .
Got the spicy pulled pork bao bun and crab Rangoon. Joey and Whena have such a friendly environment, and the food is amazing!!
First of all, what a revelation this food was. Umami galore and not a dish over-salted as can be the case with this cuisine. Tried crab and cheese takoyaki, spicy chicken Bao, Oreo Bao (!) and the avocado bubble tea (sounds like a bad idea, tastes great). Consistently high quality and delicious offerings. Extremely friendly and knowledgable server/cashier. Avail yourself of this eatery. You deserve it. My one slight niggle: I want a bigger better dine in experience, but I understand the economics of what is available. Look for a Pack and Go (the sister co-located restaurant) review separately. (Hint: its equally as good)
So good was worth the price and the food tasted amazing, well seasoned and amazing flavour. The only complaint I have is I haven t tried everything yet can t wait for my next order
A1 - excellent!
This was our first time trying Chow Bao and it was amazing! I tried 4 different items from the menu and every one was delicious!
I had the fried chicken bao as per our server s advice. It was absolutely delicious. The chicken was crispy and the garlic mayo was to die for. I will definitely be returning.
We drove through Lloydminster grabbing a quick dinner en route. I can t believe they have a restaurant like this; the food was incredible!! The bao buns are HUGE, and the largest combo (bao plus bowl) is enough for more than one person or someone who is a huge eater. I wish I could eat here on the regular but will definitely stop every time I m passing through.
Great food! The spring rolls are to die for. Portion sizes are good too. Definitely coming back again!
Nice new local spot, enjoyed the Thai soup.
Best kept secret in town. Great food, good prices, friendly staff. I ve eaten everything on the menu and now I just tell them to surprise me when I order because I like it all and I eat there almost every week.
We loved that place when we tried this food we absolutely loved it even the soup is delicious
In my top 3 of best things ive tried this year. I knew this place would be good and wasnt disappointed. Had a few Big Baos, and crab rangoon. I didnt even look at what each Bao had on it and ordered what sounded good: the Bahn Mi and Pop Ckn. This food is darn good! The bahn mi had crispy pork belly and was full of flavor, and the pop ckn sauce and kimchee was so good. Ill be back soon.
How can you even think of getting McDonalds or something when this amazing place exists? The food is amazing
Ive had to write a couple negative reviews lately and when I need to do that I like to balance the universe by thinking about where I could leave a great one: this place is it. Chow BAO is a Lloydminster hidden gem. I went there with my boyfriend a couple weeks ago. I had been seeing them on Skip and wanting to try. Consider my expectations surpassed. My boyfriend said its the only place he wants to eat when he comes to visit and Ive since been praising this place to friends and family. The prices are fair, the food is delicious, the workers are lovely. A must-try.
Chow Bao is such a cool way to introduce Asian foods and flavors to Canadians. First the price is definitely worth the size of the baos, especially when you get it with a side! You can tell that the chef has experience because the ingredients really compliment each other, its fresh, and they have a great variety of flavors. They also really took into account my nut allergy and made sure there wasnt any cross contamination with the other things we ordered. I particularly loved the Southwest Pulled Pork and the Sweet Chili Chicken! Their takoyaki was perfect, not too overbearing of seafood flavour. Will definitely make my way through the menu but were from Edmonton. Cant wait for the next trip to Lloydminster.
Amazing food! Will be back again!
We ordered online for a later pickup today. We had the fam bao - the 3 flavors we had were the pork tocino, bang bang shrimp and the Korean crispy chicken. All of them were awesome!!! The bao was really nicely made and bigger than expected! The favorite was the chicken which was super crispy and had a slight spice which was delicious. The veggies on each were super crisp and added a really nice crunch. We also had the Kung pao chicken which was also good but the baos will be bringing us back for sure!! Highly recommend!
Disappointing that unseasoned frozen veg is used for a restaurant. Rating would be better with actual fresh Asian veg. Kim chi bao was great though.
Amazing food and amazing people! Do yourself a favour and treat yourself to some delicious food!
Great Food! Love the Bao sandwiches
Yummy bobba.
First time trying the takoyai balls & boa buns and omg we were blown away. Absolutely the best food. Will be back!
Great food, fair price, friendly service.
Fooking amazing
Wow. I just ate and I already cant wait to try everything at this new location. The octopus balls are amazing and sweet chili bao buns did not disappoint. Dont be afraid to try this place. You wont regret it.
I had the fried chicken bao buns and the buns was soft and the chicken was crispy overall 10/10 would recommend! Athreus the cashier was very accommodating. Service was fast and amazing!
I had the Octopus Takoyaki, very delicious! Staff was friendly and the food was fresh.
We ordered a bunch of things to try & it was all awesome. We liked it because it didnt have the same generic flavours. Everything was different and so flavourful & the taro bubble tea Would definitely recommend!
You can order online or call and order ahead. Place is VERY hard to miss so be on the lookout for the small sign out front (may change with time). Overall an incredibly delicious experience. Reasonably priced great food. While you cant eat in and the business is rather bare bones in the front end, the kitchen is brand new and looks immaculate. Would highly recommend going to eat here on your weekends, its definitely worth it.
Really hard to find place - look for the big sign saying Harvest Market in the lot but Really tasty Takoyaki! We got the octopus and shrimp! Hot and delicious!
