About

In the heart of the U of W and WLU District. Bao specializes in the concept of Vietnamese subs and Taiwanese steamed buns, known as Bánh Mì and Gua Bao.

Story

Bao Sandwich Bar takes on a modern approach to a variety of Asian cuisines, focusing on traditional staple foods. Originating in the late 19th century, bánh mì was a product of French colonialism, by bringing together the french baguette with native Vietnamese ingredients. Gua Bao, on the other hand, is Taiwan’s "go to" street food, beloved for its flavors and textures.

This food style has since exploded to "foodie" culture through increased exposure. At Bao, we make our own staple ingredients. By combining one with another, we have created our own variations of flavorful sandwiches to introduce to the community.

We are constantly innovating, and will be introducing a diversity of cuisine through our snacks and sandwiches. At Bao, we strive to create awareness and excitement for our food to the surrounding community.

The food is AMAZING. The staff was very accommodating when I asked for vegan options. (Avocado Baguette with soy glaze instead of mayo). I would rate it a perfect score if there was better parking available and if it had a less chaotic atmosphere. (small dining area packed with loud students while loud music plays). The yummy food makes it tolerable.

I wish I had listened to my husband earlier so I could have been experiencing Bao a lot sooner because, Holy Cow, it is amazing! I can honestly say it is unlike anything I've ever had. The closest thing I can compare it to are Steamed BBQ Pork Buns, which is one of my favourite things in the world so I hope you can understand what a compliment that is. The buns are so light and fluffy and all of the toppings, from meat to sauces, are extremely flavourful. They don't look like a lot, especially since the bun looks like a cloud, but they're deceivingly filling and two is usually more than enough for me. My favourite is definitely the Seoul Beef, which has a perfect balance of flavours and textures. I've only ever had Bao sandwiches from here but I am in no rush to go anywhere else for them. If you love trying new foods, or love food in general, or just love yourself, I HIGHLY recommend coming here.

Bao is great! It's located at the back of a building, so it can be tricky to find. Limited parking. Flavourful food and drinks! Prices won't kill your wallet (a single bao was less than $5). Lots of unique selections. Mostly student crowd and foodies. Limited seating. Quick service, when visiting off hours. I went from ordering to outside in four minutes. It can be busier during peak meal times.

Not great. The bau bun is cool, but the sandwiches are more bland than you'd expect with the foodie fusion vibe they're going for. The tables are cramped and uncomfortable, the location is weirdly hard to find, and it's on the pricey side to boot. Try it once if you're feeling adventurous.

Bao is simply amazing!!! I tried their chicken katsu and Seoul beef for the first time and was immediately blown away. I loved the chicken katsu the most as their fried chicken patty was the best I've ever tasted. If you're tired of eating mainstream fast food and want to try something new and different, this is the place you want to be. Will be returning back.
