Reviews for Mean Bao in Toronto, ON

The quality of the beef garnered them one more star than I would have given otherwise for that overpriced, underfilled bao I... just ate. Old cilantro, limp bok choy (didn?t even give me the correct filling) and peanuts and sugar nowhere to be seen. Majorregrets with this snack choice. Read more

A great little place for lunch, they serve a small doughy bread filled with a variety of items. These are known as boa and you... order them individually. They are quite filling, thus likely two is enough or possibly three depending on your appetite. Andthey are not very expensive either. So you get a good meal for a fair price (about $6.50 each), this also allows you to get twodifferent flavors so you get some variety. The storefront is very small but it is quick as you take it to go in their nicelittle cardboard boxes. Definitely a good choice for lunch if you work in the area. Read more

Mean Bao was recommended by a contact and I came across one along PATH in Feb 2022. I tried the tofu curry dish and the braised... meat bun. They were average for me and the sauce was too sweet. Read more

Tried the Mean Bao kiosk on the underground path for a weekend lunch last week. The cold noodle salad was good and cones with... Tofu. Tried the Jerk Chicken, pulled Pork and braised beef baos. Was a little disappointed with them as they were very dry. Notsure if it was a bad batch or thats how it is in general. Read more

I really enjoyed their pork belly Bao, it reminds me of home (I come from Taiwan). The other time I came here they ran out of... the pork belly bao, so I ordered the beef Bao instead, still pretty amazing! Definitely will come by again the next time I'maround the area. Read more

This location in the Bay Adelaide Centre of the PATH is definitely open (was marked as Temporarily Closed) and serving up some... great baos! Love the Pork Belly Bao, 2 of those is a perfect lunch to not feel too heavy after. Read more

Being a little spot along the PATH, they caught my attention. I was craving asian flavours, and the design of the interior was... well curated. That lured me in. It had potential to be unexpectedly great. The service was friendly, but the place was empty. Istarted to doubt the quality of their work in the back. The portion size was very filling, but it was missing extra attention todetail in how the food came together. I really wish I could give it more stars, but the food falls short. I got a bowl becauseI wanted to taste the pork and the beef. It is the same meat they would use in the Bao. The meats were both tasty and luscious,but as a whole, the bowl didn?t work very well together. The various things in the bowl just didn?t jive together very well, inflavours nor temperature. If the bowl is any indication, I would imagine the Bao?s are missing an extra touch of quality andcare as well. Read more

Got the rice dish with chicken and WOW. The taste and flavours were perfect! Tasted like a delicious homemade style dish. Gonna... to go back here again for sure :). You would be surprised how many good food places are in The PATH. Way better quality thanEaton Centre?s food court. Read more
