I've been here several times. Fantastic food! The kimchi fries are a standout for me. I also love the baos with their fried chicken, SO crispy, juicy, and flavorful. Price is a bit high but you are getting quality food and they are generous with their fillings.

Accept no imitators. This is the best Bao franchise. The 5-spice pork belly is so good. The cut for this one has the juicy fat part that tastes just like butter. They don't skimp on the protein for any of them. Awesome flavours and portions. Viet coffee was also good and tasty.

My husband and I came here after hearing about the delicious Bao Bun's from my sister. Bao Bar did not disappoint. The combined flavours in each Bao were paired so well. We got Great Chicken, Korean Garlic Chicken, Lucky Pulled Pork & the Spicy Haddock. Everything was made fresh to order and each Bao had a perfect amount of chicken:sauce:topping ratio

One of the few fusion foods that work. There are some good bao and meat combinations and some that are not. The Crackle Belly Bao and the 5 Spice Belly Bao are your safest options if you are new. Pork belly is the original type of meat used for baos in Chinese cuisine. If you want to experiment, you can go for the Dynasty Duck bao which is essentially peking duck meat. Wacky Tacky fries are a good option. Don't get the Seoul Kimchi fries. The kimchi is not fermented well. The green thai tea is great though somewhat expensive One thing is that they don't allow customers to dine in after 30 mins before closing time. That is somewhat not feasible because it shouldn't take long to clean and wipe tables. All the takeout stuff can be thrown away and no dish washing is required.

Ordered 3 types of Bao; GREAT CHICKEN, CHICKEN KATSU and KOREAN GARLIC CHICKEN. The first two are really good, but the Korean lacks flavour and the chicken it self is different from the first two. It’s more like frozen breaded chicken. The bun is excellent. Eat it fresh if you can. All white chicken. The tables, floors, bathroom, kitchen…etc are very clean.

Great little place to enjoy a good selection of bao. The flavours were so tasty and you can tell the ingredients are fresh. I love that you can choose different flavours to try different ones.

The food was decent, but not exceptional. The Peking duck was a bit disappointing as I expected the skin to be crispier. However, the fried dishes were quite tasty. The peach drink was average, tasting similar to bottled peach drinks you might find at the grocery store. The service could be improved. The server seemed rather aloof, not greeting me or making any effort to engage in conversation. Even though I tipped, she seemed somewhat annoyed or upset for some reason. The table we were seated at was quite sticky and unclean, making us feel uncomfortable. We had to wash our arms after the meal due to the stickiness.

★★★★

The Seoul beef baguette was amazing and I highly recommend it. The bao wings were pretty good too, my partner enjoyed it more than I did. Thai milk tea was okay, probably would not get again. The service from the cashier was not the greatest as I ordered a combo and she did not hear me yet my partner did, she gave attitude saying I should’ve said I wanted a combo prior to ordering … if I did not say it, I’d understand all the attitude but because she misheard and gave me sass, it’s uncalled for.

Great modern take on the classic bao buns. The dynasty duck bao and siracha tofu bao were both amazing. The bao buns were so fresh and fluffy! Will be going back to try more options. Friendly staff, good parking. A little bit expensive, but the foods fresh and delicious so you get what you pay for.

I recently tried the chicken bao at this place, and I was thoroughly impressed. The bao was perfectly cooked, with a soft and fluffy texture that complemented the flavorful chicken filling. The combination of ingredients was well-balanced, making each bite a delightful experience. This was an easy 4-star meal for me. The quality of the food has definitely piqued my interest, and I am looking forward to coming back and exploring more options on their menu. Highly recommended for bao lovers!

Amazing Our visit to Bao Bao Bar was a delightful experience. The food was exceptional, especially the pork bao and tofu bao both were amazing and left us wanting more. The flavors were rich and perfectly balanced, making each bite a pleasure. However, we did find the prices to be a bit on the high side, which might be a consideration for some. Despite this, the quality of the food and the overall experience make Bao Bao Bar worth a visit for anyone craving delicious bao.

Tried this place based on reviews...my new favourite place when Im craving something different. Tried the following baos: Chicken Katsu, 5 Spice Pork Belly, Buffalo Chicken, and Korean Chicken...they were all delicious! Disclaimer: I usually dont eat Pork Belly, but based on reviews, I was curious. On the first bite...it was a burst of flavour. For Pork lovers, this is a must try. French Fries have creative toppings. If youre not very hungry, start with 1 Bao. If youre hungry, 2 Baos and French Fries should be sufficient (for an average person). Highly recommend!

First time ordering, and it was an Uber eats order. Saw a post on Instagram and had to try, so I ordered it for lunch at work. Delicious bao, very fresh, and lots of flavour. They were overflowing with meat, so good. I especially enjoyed the chicken katsu bao. I look forward to taking the girlfriend and going in person.

This is one of our new favourite spots to eat in Mississauga. The food is fresh, delicious and generously portioned. Cant get enough of ordering from here. The five spice pork belly Bao, chicken Katsu and Korean garlic chicken are all amazing baos and the kimchi fries with beef IS UNREAL I want to eat nothing but that beef for the rest of my life lol. It is so tender and tasty. Highly recommend Bao Bar!

Very expensive for not great quality or taste, food was very one dimensional. Was certainly expecting a more enjoyable meal for the $34 I paid for two bao and kimchi fries. The food may have looked pretty, but was not very engaging to eat, felt like a chore to finish my meal. also the Iced coffee was premade and had no ice in it? Dont think this place is anywhere near deserving of the 4.5 stars it is currently rated.

WOW! Ive never had a Bao Bun before so I gave this place a try. What a devious meal. Definitely get a combo because you will want more after the first one!

Got the dynasty duck bao and crackle belly bao. First of all the meat seemed boiled, very lightly braised, poorly seasoned and not crispy. It just ended up very chewy, like chewy duck skin and chewy pork belly. Secondly the entire bao was watery and leaking. Took one bite of each and had to throw them out. Just not good, do not go here.

The food was ok. Well seasoned meat but not fresh. The fried chicken was over cooked and dry. Almost burnt. I think it was reheated in the oven. Pre made food re heated and then served. For the prices, Id expect more.

Dishes Ordered: Chicken Katsu Bao: 5 Spice Belly Bao: Delivery and Packaging: Value for Money: Overall Experience: Review: My latest culinary adventure led me to Bao Bar, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of spectacular. Venturing into the realm of bao, I decided on two distinct flavors - the Chicken Katsu Bao and the 5 Spice Belly Bao, both of which set a new benchmark for what I consider phenomenal in the world of casual dining. The Baos: Starting with the Chicken Katsu Bao, the Japanese-style fried chicken was a revelation. Encased in a pillowy bao bun, the chicken was impeccably crispy on the outside while remaining tender and juicy within. The garlic mayo, lettuce, tonkatsu sauce, green onion, and togarashi flakes melded together to create a symphony of flavors, each bite surpassing the last in delight. Equally impressive was the 5 Spice Belly Bao. The braised pork belly, marinated in a rich blend of five spices, was so tender that it seemed to melt away with each bite, a testament to the skill behind its preparation. Complemented by garlic mayo, crisp cucumbers, pickled daikon, carrots, and fresh cilantro, this bao was a masterclass in balancing richness with refreshing crunch and acidity. Delivery & Packaging: Despite the potential challenges of delivering such delicate creations, Bao Bar excelled. The baos arrived in pristine condition, with every element intact and the bao buns as soft as if they were just steamed. The attention to packaging detail ensured that the dining experience was not compromised in transit. Value for Money: While I do wish the pricing was slightly more competitive, its hard to argue with the quality and experience provided. The dishes, though a bit on the pricier side, were worth every penny for their exceptional taste and presentation. Overall Experience: Bao Bar has undoubtedly earned a place in my heart and my list of top food spots. The combination of unique, flavorful offerings, careful packaging for delivery, and the sheer joy of each bite makes it a restaurant I cannot recommend enough. For those looking to indulge in some of the best baos around, look no further than Bao Bar. Despite the slight wish for better pricing, the overall experience is one I eagerly anticipate revisiting.

Ordered a Bao meal, Avocado Banger and Sriracha Tofu, with sweet potato fries, and peach tea. The buns were very fresh and soft.

I usually order Pop so it was the first time trying Peach Tea, which was a bit too sweet for my liking.

I tried the Seoul Beef Bao ($8.79) and my friend tried the Dynasty Duck Bao ($8.94). The flavours on both were really good. I wish the Seoul Beef was spicier. It only got its spice from the addition of kimchi. The bao was soft and there was a good amount of meat. The only negative thing I can say is the beef was chewy which made the bao hard to bite into. Maybe they should slice the beef thinner. My friend liked the hoisin in her duck bao as it was not overpowering like some dishes can be. She doesn t usually enjoy raw, sliced green onion but she said it worked well with the other ingredients. She said it was also spicy which she liked. One bao is good for a light lunch or snack. We got there around 2pm and it wasn t busy. They have a small but cozy eating area, the staff are friendly and there is lots of parking.

We ordered the Crackle Belly Bao, Dynasty Duck Bao, Seoul Beef Bao along with fries and Thai tea to drink. Our top two would be the Crackle Belly and the Seoul Beef.

Good protein to Bao ratio on all 4 Bao ordered. Just wish the Crackle Pork Belly had more crackle and Dynasty Duck had the fried crispy bits the menu promised, as texture elevates that whole experience when it comes to Bao. Kimchi Fries are almost perfect but please check with your customers if they would like a spicer Kimchi option as well, as the current one is quite mild for us heatonists out there.

The Great Chicken baguette is really tasty and crispy while retaining moisture in the fried chicken. Most of the menu items tend to only have mayo so I wish the different meat types had different sauces. The baos could be soggy if left out for more than a few minutes likely due to the meat juices and sauce. Korean Style wings are quite salty and leaves a lingering feeling even the day after. Bao wings taste really good but is too much on the mayo.

Was just blindly searching for a Mean Bao close to me and this came up as a suggested store in the area, so I had to try it. This place is now tied for my favourite Bao restaurant in the GTA. The baos themselves are delicious. Everything is made fresh, the buns are super soft and are an excellent canvass for the meat and cabbage filling that they stuff the baos with. These Baos are hefty, they dont skimp on the filling. Customer service was good, the restaurant was clean, was able to order and get our food in a reasonable time, I will definitely be back.

What a dope spot for some amazing Baos. We stopped in for lunch randomly while in the area. Their Baos are plump with just enough flavor to accompany the variety of filling options. Their meats are full of flavor and prepared to perfection. The ingredients are fresh, crisp, and come together well. Well be back to try the other options. Two Bao combos did run us $64 after tip. Not going to be a daily but definitely worth the trip every now and then.

There has definitely been a decline in the quality of food and staff a) the cashier was rude and looked visibly annoyed that I had to interrupt her social conversations with the kitchen staff because I had to place an order. b) fish bao had a funky smell to it so it s either the fish was old or not prepared properly. At least the kimchi fries were still decent

I got the 2 bao combo with fries, as well as wings from here. For a place called bao bar, the baos themselves were perhaps the weakest part. I got the garlic chicken bao and the 5 spice pork bao. Both disappointed. For the price you pay, you expect a bigger punch of flavours and these baos just felt bland. The Korean wings are alright, but the bao wings are better. The French fries are actually good and the Thai tea is a must try.

December 22, 2023

Ive been to this place 3 or 4 times and while I love this place a lot, the past 2 times the chicken tasted a bit off, like it had a weird metal taste. Maybe due to frying in the same oil over and over, not sure. But it did not taste good. Otherwise I usually enjoy this place so its sad to see.

Ive been here 3 times to try the different options. Some of the Bao flavours are good and some are kinda bland. Kind of a hit or miss. My favourite so far is the Seoul beef and duck poutine. The fusion is unique but the menu is a bit expensive. Worth a try though.

Overall it s a pretty good experience, really nice restaurant and staff. I ll start off in order of the photos The Wacky one was def on to remember, it was definitely one of the better ones it had a nice sauce on it as well I wasn t a big fan of the great , but if you re a fan of the soy sauce taste, then I think this is the better option Wacky Fries were good, had a kick to it Korean Garlic - it was good, had a nice flavour overall to it The Katsu - was the best one of the top choices of my group, and it had a more recognizable taste, definitely my top choice The Karage - It was one of the other top choices it was crispy and flavourful Overall, the bao s were really good, they re about the size of your hand, on a regular I think you re gonna need to buy 2, if you aren t hungry and just want a nice filler-upper 1 is enough, great and different experience for halal food in the GTA region

I am a die-hard fan of baos, and this place definitely delivers. The baos are fresh and soft. They have a nice cushiony texture and big enough for the filling. The price range is pretty good and the service is good. For me, the must try would be the katsu chicken bao ..and for vegetarian the tofu bao is also very good.

Bao Bar is an eatery serving bao or steamed buns with different fillings. The choices of what to order can be made from the menu on the wall. I ordered the Bao combo which include any 2 baos, 1 beverage and 1 side. I chose five spice pork belly and chicken katsu, lemon peach tea and the Seoul kimchi fries .The pork belly was a good size, well seasoned, soft, tender and tasteful. The fried chicken katsu was crispy and tender and the tonkatsu sauce added flavour. The fries had a hint of spiciness with kimchi, garlic mayo, green onions and topped with bulgogi beef which is optional. The iced tea had slices of peaches and was so refreshingly good. I cant wait to go back and try the other baos.

Always a fan of bao, the first restaurant you opened was my favourite when I went to Waterloo so was ecstatic to see you were opening another closer to home for me. Portions have always been great for me at both locations. My personal favourites are the chicken Katsu bao with the kimchi beef fries.

One of my favourite banh mi restaurants closed down and now I m looking for another go to. This restaurant has a nice interior, prices are a little more steep than I anticipated. The bread at the other location I used to frequent was much better, as they would serve it warm. A nice home made banh mi baguette would make all the difference. Unsure if they make the bread in house or not. Overall, the flavours were there. Would be nice if they served with some pickled daikon and carrots. I would come back to try the other options.

Not very big inside regarding seat space so cant guarantee seating if its at a busy hour of the day/ night.

The good: the sauces and flavours, the interesting vegetarian and meat offerings. The fish bao is actually pretty nice! The sub-optimal: the bao buns don t justify the shop name, unfortunately. And another star taken for surprisingly rubbery hard chicken - what on earth is that? I would expect better for the price tag. Vegetarian options: They have the tofu and the avocado bao that are decent.

Walked into the store and it had a pungent smell. Went to order and was met with an employee who didn t seem to be in a good mood. When I got the food she almost tossed our food on the table. I ordered the the chicken Katsu and it tasted like cheap ketchupy barbecue sauce flavoured chicken, inside a basic dry baguette you can get from the grocery store. Wouldn t recommend.

After seeing the positive rating decided to check this spot out as it was close to square one. The sandwich was truly disappointing as well as the service. The smell you re greeted with when entering the store was horrendous. When ordering the food the lady (emo dressed) taking our order was quite uptight and when the food was served on our table the lady slid the food on our table. Chicken Katsu baguette definitely not worth 15 dollars. The baguette and sauce were low quality, the lack of flavour, but I can say the Korean fried chicken was decent. Maybe this item wasn t the best on the menu?
