Bao Bao Dim Sum

I really love this spot. They have the best buns ever!

They also make a really good Coke with lemon lol which sounds simple but the way they do it. It's fantastic. They pretty much squeeze a whole lemon over ice with Coca-Cola, which is super refreshing. I know it's not good for you but it's so good.

It's a pretty small spot so not many people would eat there you grab your stuff pretty much and go and walk around and enjoy Chinatown.

This is my top 3 spots to check out when I'm in the area / this is why I come to this part of town haha

Update!

Came back a year later to try more and it did not fail! The 9, 14, and 3 we're all phenomenal. Will continue to recommend this place up and down! Service is fast and baos are delicious.

Got the Mo bun, poulet teriyaki, pork, and mango coconut bao buns. Everything was phenomenal. The Mo bun was my favorite. Will absolutely have to come back and try more. The prices were reasonable, service was good, and buns were delectable. The presentation of the dessert buns was adorable.

You can't go wrong stopping in here for some quick, savory/sweet/tasty buns!

The char siu bao is excellent but the spring rolls were awful!

I would probably try the other types of dumplings and avoid anything fried here.

I LOVE this bao bakery! Cheap and yummy food! My favourite is defos the plain and green onion bao. I will admit there's not a ton of options for vegetarians but still enjoyed it. The soy sauce helped add flavour too! The bao's did take a while and there are not a ton of places to sit. A quick grab and go snack!

Ordered the Char Siu Bao which was pretty good. Had the green tea and red bean bao which was not good to eat. Looked good.
Tried the fresh fruit banana/strawberry shake. They had fresh fruit but added powder. Eehhh that did not go well.

Like everyone else, we got sucked in by the baos/buns with a cute face. I picked the one with the Doraemon but it has no taste despite the red bean paste inside. It was just like eating a man tao plain steamed bun.  Hubby got a mushroom and chicken and he literally had to peel off all the bun part because there was hardly any "meat" inside.  I think okay just to look here, no need to buy any.

Can't get enough of the Bao bum from here. Everytime I go into China town, I must get one. If it's not to eat right now, it's for later.

I often take a cute little piggy melting chocolat #17 and bbq beef #8. Both are just so good.

I did try the mini melt once and it was very good.

There's way more then just buns here and so far, I liked everything I tried. There's lots of choice for every taste.

I also tried the mos bun kimchi beef. It was good but kimchi isn't something I like very much.

Staff here is always polite and serve with a smile.

Some are very popular which means there might not be anymore or have to wait.

There's also bubble tea offering next to it.

Cute baos, but you'll find better elsewhere in terms of taste. I got six so I could get a good sample too. All of them were big (covered my entire palm), but were dry and lacked a lot of flavor.

Get the baos if you must for the social media, but keep your expectations in check when you finally bite into one.

Shrimp dumplings ok too.

If you purchase six baos, they'll waive the tax.

Stumbled upon this place by accident, and was so happy I did. I struggle with eating cute things, and this was no exception, because I found myself developing a bond with this chocolate pig bao.

Don't worry, though, because I persevered. He was very delicious.

I got two bao for $6, which I though was a pretty solid deal, especially when they're so cute.

I am a sucker for cute food and this place does not disappoint.

Not only do they a variety of classic dim sum options but they can't a large steer box of savoury and sweet bun optiosnshaped in various animals as well.

They have traditional Taiwanese rice bowls with meat and veg on steamed ice for under $10 that are filling and comforting.

Beware, they close pretty early so this is.not a late night place at all even though this place would thrive feeding night crowds with their tasty treats

Pricing is decent
