Bao

the baos were very good. the classic pork belly was quite big and hit the spot. the set up of a wrapper + meat + aromatic veg reminds me peking duck, similar structure! the mala mushroom was cool too, very distinctive in their individual textures and a good kick of mala. the korean friend chicken was innovative but a bit less impressive. i think sushi rice was a nice experiment but the flavor profile was definitely not the typical bibimbap because it lacked the gojujang sauce and other korean sauces and because the taste of fried chicken was also not typical. i did not enjoy the hot sauce… would not recommend. the last pro is that it was not heavy on stomach bc it didn’t use all the sauces. but overall recommend the baos but not the fried chicken bibimbap.

Delightful meal. The atmosphere is wonderful here and very cozy. I really enjoyed the quick and friendly service. I was a huge fan of the Bao and recommended the Mala 5 Mushroom. I also had the Truffle Pulled Pork ramen and I enjoyed the flavour, the pork, and eggs but I wasn't the biggest fan of the texture of the noodles; however, it is not a deal breaker. Still recommended checking this place out. Fantastic!

Really tasty! Was looking for a quick late dinner and Bao was on my list to try... glad we did! The Pork Belly Ramen was super flavourful. The Bao buns I tried were very good, but the real highlight for me was the chicken wings! I tried the Korean and Mala flavors... both amazing, but quite different from each other. Strong recommendation here... add it to your list! Back for round 2... enjoyed the wings again and tried a couple bao as well... the original and Korean fried chicken. All were as good as last time! My wife tried the noodle.stir fry and enjoyed it! Still a good spot for a quick meal!

Bao is literally the best ramen spot in town! Nothing defeats it in my personal opinion.. it’s literally a burst of flavours in your mouth.. SO DELICIOUS! Their buttermilk fried chicken bao is to die for, I could literally eat 10 of it in one go.. and my favourite ramen is the Tan Tan men ramen!! Highly recommend!! ❤️

Best Ramen I have had. In 2018 we found this restaurant and have come back ever since. My daughter loved the Ramen Tofu back then and this started her journey exploring different types of food. For Muslims: don’t let the pig on the door turn you off: the vegan vegetarian dishes are incredible. Our whole family loves the vegan/ Vegetarian Tan Tan Men. The tofu is crunchy and delicious. I wholeheartedly recommend Bao. I look forward to it all year and it is a big reason why we all love coming to Victoria so much.
