Try their burger. Best bao in the city. Traditional pork recipe with jalapeño and cilantro. She also had a special dipping sauce. BTW the Chinese business name translates as, “I love bao.”

Delicious. Had the burger and a salad. Both were great. Super friendly service.

I went to this place on Wednesday, it was recommended by a friend. The value for money is great: $5 for two buns. The lady owner was very kind, and the buns weren’t too salty. The meat filling was just the right amount, and the dough was soft and chewy. Their Chili oil was perfect!!
I’ll definitely go back again!

Wonderful experience and delicious bao! My mom and I went in to check out this place and the nicest lady helped us out. Can’t wait to steam my own buns at home!

Really tasty and delicious! The best food I had in Calgary during my three day trip! That’s home made flavor and the owner is so nice! Hope to be there again soon.

Hidden gem of a local, family owned business. Fresh handmade buns that’s made with a lot of pride and love. Small, but niche menu, at an amazing price point!
Filling was flavourful but wish there was a bit more of it. Bun is nice and soft, not too thick but not too thin.
The owner was super friendly and passionate about her food, including the homemade chili oil. Which is mostly flavour, not heat. Glad to have this in the area! Will be back to try other things on her menu.
Seating is very limited, 6 spots, so be prepared to eat in your car/take out.
Lots of frozen, available to take home options as well.

This little spot is such a gem and an easy place to stop by for a quick snack or getting some frozen bao to go. The bao is so fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The owner is always friendly and kind. Wishing nothing but continued success for iBaoza!

I pray this small shop never closes! Their baozi and mantou are all so authentic and delicious - just like homemade because they ARE homemade! I could eat them all day every day - the sweet ones, the savoury ones, and the plain ones. Love it so much!! So so much!!

A bit unassuming at first but after trying this place, the food and friendly service has convinced me to come back. I'm likely going to pickup frozen buns every time I drive by.

These steam buns are more chewy, juicy, and flavourful. Very hearty food to keep around the house, especially when you need to whip up a quick snack or lunch.

I highly recommend it. If you're thinking these are like the buns at T&T, you'll need to give these a try - they're better!

Before I knew it, it had been seven years. The landlady is so enthusiastic and a nice person. I like to eat roujiamo, hot and sour noodles and side dishes. The bean paste buns are also delicious, like the red bean buns from the Northeast, not the sticky bean paste from the South. The buns and pies are both good.
