I get the dandan noodles every time I come, and they never miss! It's a pretty popular restaurant, so expect a bit of a wait if you come at prime time (with very minimal room to wait inside). Prices are pretty reasonable, but make sure to bring cash or a Canadian debit card.
Can never go wrong with dumplings. Everything we ordered was good - fried tofu, chicken noodle soup, dan dan noodles, pork XLB, mini fried dumplings, pork casserole, and chive fried dumplings. We also tried the chocolate dumplings - interesting. Very chocolate-y.
This is a pretty decent place to get dumplings and such. There was a bit of a wait since there isn't too much seating but it moved quickly at around dinner time on a weeknight. The food was served hot and fresh. Everything tasted great. Staff were friendly and the restaurant had a nice vibe. It started pouring while we were there and the wall-to-wall windows gave us a good view of Dundas Street while the sun set and the city wound down for the night
Heard that this restaurant had great Asian food so decided to check this place out on my first night during my work trip to Toronto. A group of 8 of us went to dinner together and ended up having to wait a while to get seated because it's a pretty small place and it was a busy Saturday night. We ordered a variety of dishes and they were all pretty good. Our group was also pleasantly surprised how affordable our meal was. Recommend checking this place out if you are looking for some good noodles and dumplings.
Came here for dinner with some friends and while there was initially a ~20 wait for 4 people on a Sunday night, we thought it was well worth the wait! Lots of variety and tasty options - we started with picked radish and cucumbers (definitely think you can skip the radish) but the dumplings were obviously the star of the show. For boiled dumpling and if I were to rank them starting with the ones I liked best, we got the pork & cabbage, beef & celery and chicken & corn. Really liked the dipping sauce that came with it, everything held well together. Soup dumplings, we got the steamed pork with curry sauce and beef soup. The curry one had a lot of flavour - was a bit overpowering to my taste but the black vinegar sauce you can add help cut it well. The mini pan fried soup dumplings were good, nothing crazy special about the taste but I think the primary appeal is that they're cute to look at (lol) We also had pan fried pork & spicy sauce dumplings that had quite a kick along with the Sichuan noodles. Those noodles actually had a great bouncy texture - it was more numbing than spicy. For someone like myself who can't handle spice very well, I actually really enjoyed this! Overall, a clean and fun spot, service was quite quick once you sat down, and the prices were very reasonable. We had a great time!
I couldn't get into the restaurant I wanted to try out, but this was close by, and I'd looked at their windows display before, so why not? It's up some stairs, so if you're looking for a fully accessible space, this isn't it. It is bright and clean and modern, lots of windows, but efficiency was the vibe rather than homey. I got the pickled cucumbers, beef soup dumplings, and the spicy beef soup. Service was great, my tea was constantly refilled, and as they watched me eat, they brought over more napkins. Very cheerful staff. The pickled cucumbers were delicious. Sweet, a hint of sesame oil, and a lot of fresh choped garlic. If you go here on a date and you order this, make sure you both eat some. The soup dumplings were on the small side, but that was fine with me. Six of them were a good portion. The soup was tasty, the beef meatball was tender, and I only spilled soup on myself once due to a tragic vinegar and chili oil dipping accident. (They have soy sauce, vinegar, and chili oil at the table, and they give you a dipping plate without asking.) The beef noodle soup was nice. Spicy, but the numbing of my lips and tongue meant Szechuan peppers were part of the mix. Noodles were cooked perfectly, and the beef wasn't melt in your mouth tender, but also wasn't overly chewy. Price was reasonable for what I had. I would return if I was in the area and looking for a quick dumpling fix. And those pickled cucumbers....yum.
I was in the area for a work meeting and, after reading the reviews, decided to give this spot a try. I definitely ordered more than one person needs, but everything was delicious. The dumplings were the standout. I ordered them steamed, and they were cooked perfectly--tender, flavorful, and just the right amount of spice without overwhelming the palate. The sour & spicy pork wontons were another hit; my only regret is not having enough room to finish them. The spicy braised beef bowl was also very good, though it didn't quite reach the same level as the dumplings and wontons. I can't speak much to the dine-in service since I ordered take-away, but my food was ready right on time and still piping hot. They packaged everything thoughtfully, keeping the broth separate from the noodles and wontons, and even added a layer of plastic wrap to prevent leaks. Clean, organized, and very appreciated.
Popped in for lunch today cause I was really feeling for some soup dumplings and this place did not disappoint. Let me say that they only accept Canadian debit or credit cards and cash. So this immediately limited how much I could eat, but that was also OK. The service is impeccable and quick. The ambience is OK. It's a vibe, but it really is a nice place to eat. The folks are really good at their job and the food is delicious. Let me also say the price is very very good here. I'll definitely be back next time. I'm in Toronto.
Fairly well priced and delicious dumplings. We got the soup dumplings and the pan fried mini soup dumplings. The food came out quick and hot. They have a good selection of dumplings for a reasonable price along with some other dishes including noodles and appetizers. The service was friendly and prompt, we got seat almost immediately, since it wasn't too busy in the evening. They have 3 different locations but this location in particular is located up a set of stairs, so not the most accessible. Do not that they are cash and debit only. Definitely a good place for a late night snack. The vibes are chill and place has a decent amount of seating.
probably one of my favorite places for dumplings. everything on the menu is under $13, which is great, and it makes it easy to order a bunch of dishes to share. we came with a group of 5 and tried a good mix of things. - steamed pork soup dumplings - very juicy - pan-fried mini soup dumplings - super crispy on the outside and honestly really cute - braised beef noodle soup - the soup was very flavorful and the beef was tender - boiled pork and cabbage dumplings - pretty standard, can't really go wrong with these - deep-fried tofu - this was great, the sauce was sweet and spicy and the tofu soaked it all up - beef brisket with daikon soup casserole - very light but super refreshing i also noticed they have chocolate soup dumplings which reminded me of the chocolate xlb from din tai fung, so that's definitely something i want to try next time. the ambiance was nice and casual. it's a pretty small place, so there was a bit of a wait on a tuesday night, but it wasn't too bad. service was smooth and everything came out at a good pace. i would definitely come back.
Bao House delivers precisely what discerning dumpling enthusiasts seek: expertly crafted xiao long bao at remarkably accessible prices. The soup dumplings arrive with properly thin skins encasing well-seasoned pork and ample, flavourful broth. The pan-fried variation adds textural interest with a satisfyingly crisp bottom. The downtown location's elevated view of the Eaton Centre area adds unexpected visual interest to the casual proceedings. Note the cash/debit-only policy and automated waitlist system--efficient touches befitting high-volume operations. For Shanghai-style dumplings in Toronto's core, few establishments offer this combination of quality and value.
Newest dumplings restaurant at the corner of Dundas and Chestnut. It used to be Zen Q, but I'm not sure if it's under the same owner. I placed an order in store for the pan fried mini dumplings and fried bean paste with pork noodles. A lot of people were also getting takeout so it took about 10-15 mins. I would suggest calling in to order before heading to the restaurant because the waiting area is small. The dumplings were so cute and juicy. There were 16 in total. The noodles were a lot more than expected but it was a bit salty. Service was great and the restaurant looked clean. I would definitely come back for dine in. They take credit or cash.
The atmosphere and presentation were very pleasant. The workers were running around trying to make sure everyone was served quickly. The price points were very fair. The dumpling meat was a weird texture and seemed low quality. It was soft and not compact which threw me off. The soy milk was mid. The fried tofu was okay. The sauce was good especially with more chili oil on top, but once again the quality was only decent. Overall 6.5/10. A good spot of quick cheap easy bites.!

Our food was super good! The place is clean and well maintained. The service is friendly and, despite being very busy, they try to be attentive. We had the Braised Beef Soup Noodle, the Sour & Spicy Pork Wonton & the Steamed Pork Soup Dumplings with Spicy Sauce... Everything was super good! If it says "spicy", believe it, it is! but we loved it. Everything was served hot and fresh. ** The only thing you MUST be aware of if you're visiting from another country, like we did, is that they ONLY accept Canadian credit/debit cards or cash. They have a small sign on the door that you can easily miss, like we did! Luckily, there's a TD ATM across the street but it charges you $5cad for transaction, depending on your bank, I guess. If you're visiting Toronto or if you live there, this place is a must go! read more

I loved this spot so much and I already want to go back. From the second we walked in, the place felt really nice. The restaurant is super spacious, modern, and beautifully designed. It has a really clean and sleek interior with nice lighting. Not tons of seating but it has such a nice layout and good atmosphere. We waited for about 10 mins for a table which I think isn't too bad, especially for Toronto. One thing I really liked was how efficient everything was. You order right off the website/QR code at your table which makes the whole process super easy, especially when the restaurant is busy. The service overall was really good too. Food came out quickly, the staff were friendly, and everything felt really organized. Now for the food... SO GOOD. I got the chilli soup dumplings and they were honestly amazing. Probably one of my favourite things I've had in a while. They were super juicy, flavourful, and had the perfect amount of spice. The broth inside was delicious and the dumpling itself was cooked perfectly. I genuinely loved them. I also got the beef and chive dumplings which were fried, and those were sooo good too. Crispy on the outside, really flavourful filling, and just overall done really well. You can tell the food is made fresh and with good quality ingredients. And then for dessert we got the chocolate dumplings... WOW. 10/10. I genuinely can't recommend them enough. They were warm, crispy, chocolatey, and honestly the perfect dessert. Such a fun and unique idea and they tasted even better than I expected. Overall, this place was amazing. Beautiful interior, efficient service, and some really delicious food. Everything we tried was so good and I honestly loved the whole experience. Definitely one of my favourite dumpling spots I've tried in Toronto. read more
I went here with two of my somewhat hungry friends to try out this franchise. We shared 3 dishes among 3 people: - braised beef soup noodles - pan fried mini soup dumplings - pan fried dumplings As someone who does not normally go out to eat soup noodles, the braised beef soup was so delicious. My friends and I finished every drop of that bowl haha. The mini dumplings were super cute, we got it because I saw another table order it while we were still deciding. From the outside, it did not look that big but when you step into the resto, there is quite a lot of booth seating which is great for groups. read more

We stopped in here after a movie on a surprisingly cold April night and we were happy we did. We were immediately given some hot tea, which we needed. The service was very friendly and they walked us through the menu, and made some general suggestions. The menu isn't long or complicated but it was nice to have the attention. The Sour & Spicy Pork Wontons came right away and they were the stand out item. I can't get enough of the delicious vinegar chill sauce (and there was lots of it) The wonton noodles were slippery with sauce and the centers were meaty. I don't know if you're supposed to drink the excess sauce but I did. It's probably a weeks worth of salt but I didn't care. Then the mini-soup dumplings came, which are a customer favorite. We liked them, the first few bites were very good. I get why people love them but honestly I'd prefer a regular sized soup dumpling. Then the Braised Beef Soup Noodles came, and it was pretty darn good. The noodles were just right and the spice was great (we ordered it spicy!). Some of the beef wasn't as soft as it could be, but the taste was spot on. I would definitely go back and have the Sour & Spicy Pork Wontons again - and try some other things on the menu. The prices are reasonable, plus the location has lots of big windows and has a good vibe. read more

The vegan soup casserole was underwhelming and overpriced. That makes the chive dumplings their only main veg option- while they were AMAZING, I have to give it a 4 because the casserole was definitely not great. Service was quick and lots of seating inside! read more
This is a new Chinese restaurant location, which soft-opened on 2024-11-29. Their first location is in North York which started in 1989. They make Chinese pastries, dim sum, dumplings, and noodles. They are supposed to be famous for their Finger San Jian, which is a finger-size version of a XLB. The restaurant is on the second floor of a Toronto downtown building. It is bright inside, modern, and plenty of indoor seating. We ordered the following: 102: Steamed Fresh Pork Bun (3 for $5.99). 110: Pan Fried Mini Soup Dumplings (16 for $10.99). 205: Chicken Noodle Soup ($10.99). 301: Crispy Pork & Meatball Soup Casserole ($10.99). 102: The buns were tasty. 110 is like mini XLB (Xiao Long Bao), also known as Chinese Soup dumplings. By the way, XLB literally translates as Little Dragon Buns. These were quite good. 205: This soup was just average. 301: This casserole had so many different ingredients. I was quite happy with the variety. They only accept debit and cash, no credit cards. There is no free WiFi. The restaurant is not wheelchair accessible (it is on the second floor using stairs). Three is one gender-neutral washroom, which is not wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2024-258 read more

Visited bao house at around 5PM on a weekday and it wasn't too busy. We were promptly seated and given tea/water. I tried out their steamed pork dumplings and their braised beef soup noodles (mild). The dumplings were good and the noodles were delicious! Quite large portions - I was only able to finish half the noodles and half the dumplings. However, the noodles - although mild, still very spicy for me! The staff came over and asked if I wanted a bowl of chicken soup to help relieve the spice which I found was so nice and attentive of them (I didn't even ask)! The staff came by our table often to check in on us as well. Very clean, nice, and modern spot. They also give you bibs which I think is very fun and thoughtful! Would recommend! 4.5/5 rating for me. :) read more
This Asian restaurant serves not only comfort food but also affordable eats. Their first location is in North York, and they are bringing these yummy soup dumplings downtown. I tried a sample of some of their food and I really enjoyed the panfried dumplings and wontons. The pan-fried dumplings were so small and cute yet juicy. We were munching them like snacks. The wontons looked spicy but were not too spicy. The sauce was bursting with flavors, though. FYI: they only accept cash and debit read more

I loved this spot on Dundas street. Compares very well with juicy dumplings. The waitlist is automated which is very nice. It's much nicer ambiance wise compared to juicy dumplings but the price is very comparable. I loved their hot sauce. Will be returning soon! read more

Looking for affordable comfort food near the Eaton Centre? Look no further! @baohouseto is a highly rated restaurant that serves soup dumplings for $5.99!!! While the rest of the menu is less than $15. So, the next time you crave Xiao Long Bao or a hearty bowl of noodles and casseroles, go check them out! The restaurant is bright and spacious and their staff is friendly. read more
I have been to Bao House North York location for their XLB after its opening and the experience was not great... (*I am a XLB enthusiast so my review was solely on their XLBs, therefore my review was quite limited) So when I heard about this new downtown location, I didn't expect much but hoped for a Slim possibility that the food quality might be better as many chain restaurants often offer different food experience. Ordered #105 Steamed Pork Soup Dumpling #106 Steamed Pork Dumpling with Spicy Soup #110 Mini Pan Fried Pork Soup Dumplings Unfortunately - XLB was as unimpressive here as the original location. Amount of soup is ok. Overall Machine made taste, which explains the low price. Pan fried one was too doughy with little soup. I was here a few minutes before it opened and there was already people waiting for the door to open. People need places for XLBs!!! In 15 mins from the opening , all the tables were occupied. While I was waiting for my food , I observed that many people were ordering soup noodle dishes, and they were served very quickly to the tables. I was curious! I may want to try that next time. Good Asian quick and affordable food place in the middle of downtown Toronto. read more
My husband, as usual, found this spot on Instagram. He was a little sad to see the ZenQ close down but we were excited to see this new spot. Upon entry, the service was great - we were welcomed at the door and seated with ease. It was early on a Monday but there were a few tables filled. The place is clean and only had maybe a dozen en or so tables so I can imagine it could get busy. The menu was simple and interesting - dumplings, noodles and something called a casserole. Possibly the wrong name for the category but basically a hearty soup full of protein, mushrooms and veggies. We got the mini pan fried soup dumplings, the beef noodles and the crispy pork casserole. We were warned that the noodles would be spicy (at level 2) so we toned it down to 1... so make sure you're up for the real zing (I was not) so the hubby finished most of it. The casserole was delicious - great broth with mushrooms, pork meatballs, veggies... but to my biggest surprise, pork stomach. It was cut like it could have been a mushroom but I asked and was confirmed that it was stomach. I'm a wimp and don't eat most innards so I had to pass that along (to hubs). The h mini dumplings were quite mini but also kind of disappointing. The wrapping was doughy and thick.. but I appreciated the effort. The service continued to be attentive and helpful. They're taking cash and Canadian debit only... so def keep that in mind. We may come back to try other items - the menu is affordable and definitely a great comfort for the upcoming winter months! Be careful on those stairs... they're quite steep and in the wintry weather, could be dangerous! read more

I loved the braised beef noodles, mini fried dumplings as well as the dumplings filled with chocolate! Very affordable as well! read more
Another case of being hungry and walking past the right place at the right time. I believe this place is currently still in soft opening mode and was omly taking Canadian debit and cash. The food options here are available at a very affordable price for downtown; it specializes in dumplings, noodles, and some simple rice dishes. I can't remember how it was written on the menu, but essentially got Xiao long bao with spicy sauce and Dan Dan noodles. Decent portion sizes,and good taste. read more
Very mediocre. Soup casserole was $10.99, it was too peppery and I feel like the dish is so simple I can easily make at home. The steamed buns were $5.99 and had little filling , it was also very deflated. T&T steamed buns are way better. The steamed dumplings were dry. Not a very satisfying meal. read more

Great place downtown to get dumplings! I tried the mini dumplings, the beef noodles, and the fried tofu. The mini dumplings were fried perfectly and seasoned quite well. The beef noodles were great as well - the beef was tender and the noodles had a nice chew. I got "mild" spice for this and it was a good spice level for me. I found the tofu to be a bit on the saucy and sweet side. It has a great crunch to it but it is a bit spicy. Everything is very reasonable priced. The service was also fast and friendly. The interior is quite nice, clean, and the seating is comfortable. There is also a waitlist system once you enter which I found quite efficient. Cash and debit only. read more

Sorry, this did not hit the mark for me. Perhaps the meat options are a bit better. My review is only on vegetarian items. I found the flavours overly simple, portions to be small, and ultimately left unsatisfied. Both the soup and bao was overpowered with pepper and had very similar taste. There also wasn't much filling in both the bao and the dumplings. I've never had a bao this flat before and looks like it didn't rise as it should - I've had better Baos at tnt supermarket unfortunately. Really wanted to like this place but I will not be returning. read more
