I have tried all the Chinese restaurants on UA campus, and this one is the best.
Set meals are available from Monday to Friday at noon! A bowl of soup with several dishes and rice is different every day

The staff was super friendly and the braised pork on rice was amazing. Would definitely come back for more!

BAO is a hidden gem serving delicious and authentic Chinese cuisine, especially northern Chinese food that tastes like home. Their Jian Bing, a Chinese crepe, is a must-try, known for its great crunch and sweet and savory flavors. The spicy dumplings are also a hit, offering a perfect balance of heat and flavor. The menu features a variety of options, including steam buns, pork rice, and Chinese breakfast crepes. The steamed pork bun is phenomenal, and the braised pork on rice is very filling. The cozy atmosphere and friendly service make BAO a great spot for breakfast or brunch, though it is small with only a couple of workers, so patience may be needed during busy times. The restaurant also offers lots of vegetarian options, including versions of popular dishes like ma po tofu. Families will find it a no-fuss environment that is good for kids. The food is consistently praised for being incredibly delicious, with dishes like dumplings, tofu pudding, stir-fries, pancakes, and rice bowls receiving high marks. The environment is clean, and ingredients are fresh. The owner is friendly, and the place has a nostalgic taste of food from back home. Many visitors consider it their go-to spot for Chinese food in Edmonton. Despite some minor issues with ordering and service, the food shines, making BAO a highly recommended place for a unique Chinese dining experience.
