The chicken bao tasted kinda weird, but the beef was fine. No chairs to sit down, and they didn’t even give tissue like, where’s the tissue? 😭 On top of that, it was way too overpriced.

Shocking bad experience especially service guy on cash. Portion of protein seemed miniscule especially beef (see photo). Had no diet coke. Would not provide Sriracha or chili oil unless I paid extra, while whole time guy on cash had a screaming loud phone call with his girlfriend. I'd never go back.

They shrank the Bao and kept the prices. Bao is hilariously small now. Not worth

The best Bao buns I've ever had in my life! I always come back here! The pork belly is so juicy and tastes amazing!
Food is good but it is pretty pricy as portions are quite small

I was excited to find that Mean Bao had opened a location in Union Station, which means it will always be a stop on my way home from Toronto. Fabulous flavours and textures. Location is busy and chaotic, but the staff works hard to make sure you're taken care of quickly.
Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and vegan options on the menu that taste amazing.

It's not great... I got the pork belly bao. Barely any peanuts, ordered spicy and I think they forgot any kind of hot sauce as it was milder than a cucumber.
However, charging $8 for something of this mid quality and tiny quantity should be illegal.

I would advise a menu clarification. When I first bit into it, I was shocked to have this weird taste I did not like. Only later did I realize it was crushed peanuts. I rechecked the menu, because I don’t remember them having peanuts on the pork belly bao, and it does not say that it has peanuts… then I realized that only on the other side of the menu does it say “all baos have crushed peanuts”. I think you should mention that underneath each bao because I totally would’ve asked to have them removed, and probably would’ve made the experience a lot better. Plus food allergenic people would benefit from this as not all bao bun places have peanuts on it. Anyways, bao buns themselves were good and unique as always! I spent $10 for 1 bao and 1 drink. Not an expert on bao pricing, so I couldn’t say if it’s overpriced or not. Would consider coming back and trying something else, but without the peanuts!

I ordered something simple Which is their dumplings. First of all let’s start with the cashier i was indecisive with the sauce and when i asked about a particular sauce she was giving me a lot of grunts and not a pleasant tone given the fact that i was really hungry i ignored the rudeness.. then after paying, i see the guy that’s about to prepare my food which disgust me he had his left hand blowing his nose with a tissue and on the right hand was my dumplings and he was wearing no gloves. I couldn’t understand why he didnt wash his hand before making my food but instead he sat down on the floor with his phone.. after that, i couldn’t let this sit in my Head of what i just witnessed.. first a mean cashier and then mishandling food in all counts. So i didnt know how to approach this but i finally said to the guys preparing my food and the cashier can you wash your hands? The cashier laughed at me and repeated what i said to the guy giggling, i felt like i wasn’t taken seriously with this troublesome food handling happening in the store cause not only then the cook washed his hands and put on gloves.. in the end, i asked and told another worker in the store what happened and i asked to get a refund but sadly enough none of them apologized for this matter. Terrible and disgusting! 🤢

Overpriced, slimy, and tasteless bao
S A
Not sure who or what type of people this place was designed for, however paying +$8 for ONE bao is a little insane.
I have NEVER seen a place offering just ONE bao, and expect you to pay the same price x 2 or x 3 for the quantity you want.
A better option would've been to offer TWO for AT LEAST +$12, especially for the quality..
These are not massive bao, neither are they super small, but imagine paying the price of a fast food meal, minus the drink and the fries.
I'm all for supporting local business while I can, but this is not it.
Portion was very small. Pork belly was dry.
