The Bao Place - Reservar una mesa

This is a small shop located on Kingsway, just across from Metrotown. As the name suggests, they specialize in steamed buns, which they offer in about a dozen varieties. I've sampled their BBQ Delight, Buttermilk, Taro, Pork Deluxe, Curry Dynamite, and Belly Belly Pork buns, as well as a sample of their Chili Oil. Their buns, although a bit flat-looking, are nevertheless still soft and fluffy; the fillings are also tasty, and I quite enjoyed their chili oil. All in all this, is a spot that I think is worth a visit.<br/ <br/ BBQ Delight $3):<br/ 4/5<br/ This was filled with ground pork in a bbq sauce. The bun looked a bit flat in appearance, but was actually quite light and fluffy. The pork w...

I have been curious of this place for quite some time, as I live in South Burnaby area. I finally visited this place one afternoon, and the server greeted me nicely. I asked whether they still had all of the items on the menu, but at that time they had no taro bun left.<br/ <br/ I decided to buy 6 buns: 1 Pork Delicious, 1 BBQ Delight, 1 Veggie Devine, 1 Buttermilk, and 2 Red Bean. I have tried the BBQ Delight and Buttermilk, while my father ate the Veggie Devine.<br/ <br/ Overall, their buns are good. They are soft and puffy.

The BAO place has some awesome varieties. I wasn 't very fond of siopao because of earlier bad(mostly bland stuffing and dry buns) experience at different locations.<br/ The Bao Place is on the way to office from my home. I was always like... 'Give this place a try '.<br/ <br/ I recently bought their Beef and Chicken variety and would say their beef curry siopao is outstanding. I bought some for my colleagues as well. Around 10 people from my team had tried and everyone was just WOW.<br/ <br/ Looking forward to try other varieties too especially Curry Dynamite

I stumbled on The Bao Place cuz of Instagram. Good thing about Instagram is that it’s good for discovering places that other people like. Bad thing is that it’s impossible to remember who mentions what because it’s like Twitter — it’s a deluge of data that’s unrelenting…like a firehose. There’s only one lukewarm review on Zornado of this place, but since I was in the area, I thought I’d check it out for a quick lunch.

Bao Place is a tiny shop that opened up last year located near Miss Saigon, across the street from Metropolis at Metrotown. They seem mainly geared towards take-out orders but they do have a few seats inside. They have a very limited menu set. I ordered the Pork Delux $3.25), Curry Dynamite $2.50), and BBQ Delight $2.50).

I set out on a quest to find the best baos in the city, willing to go to great lengths in pursuit of this delicious endeavor. After hearing whispers about a place called The Bao Place near Metrotown, I knew it had to be our first destination before making our way to Bao Bakery on Joyce St.

Not what I expected out of a bao place. Service was rushed, and the bao was not at all what I think of when I think of bao. Filling was runny, but the breading was too wet. Overall not impressed, would rather go to The Boss Bakery in Crystal Mall tbh
