    Chilled cucumbers
    Evan C.

    Inexpensive, no thrills place serving home made baos, dumplings, beef noodle soup, and the like. Note if you use credit card there is a 5% service fee. Also you should be able to speak mandarin. We ordered the following: - chilled cucumber salad - this was good - beef noodle soup. It's OK. Not bad but nothing that really stands out. Meat is about average, not that tender but not too tough. - Jian Bao 煎包 - crispy, well done with lots of meat inside - vegetarian bao - I thought this was not bad, but maybe too much dough - savory tofu soup - sorry but I thought this was really weird. It's like eating corn starch mixture. Overall - some good, but mostly meh and nothing really stands out.

    Pork bun $2

    Master Bao opened in Vancouver a couple of months ago, taking over the spot "Love For Pho" along kingsway and Aberdeen. This is a much bigger location compared to the one near metrotown (kingsway and McKay). Parking is available in the plaza and along the street. The prices are really affordable at the moment. Noodle soup for $13.99 and below. Dumplings ($12.99 and under) and baos (steamed buns) are $2-2.50 each. There are also tofu puddings and other small snacks. Complimentary tea when dining in. I tried the crispy fried pork which is tasty. My friend liked chili oil. She added it to the chicken soup small wonton and said that was even better. I had the steam pork bun which was ok. The bun was a bit sticky. The pork patty was a bit small compared to the bun. The spicy wontons were also ok. Not too spicy. It was quite a lot with 10 wontons. More wonton skin than pork filling. It was filling due to the carbs from the dough. I'll want to try the steamed chicken with chili sauce (口水鸡) next time. It was not available when we were there. I'm glad to have a steamed bun and tofu pudding place in the neighborhood. Note: there's a 5% fee transaction for credit card. Bring cash or use debit.

    A variety of steamed buns

    Located in a small strip mall and near Good Feet. Service was prompt and the restaurant was clean. Menu prices are relatively cheaper compared to other similar businesses. *Cash or debit payment only.* -Beef noodle soup: clear and not too salty tasting broth with tender chunks of beef. Moderate size portion. -Steamed buns: good balance of bun to filling ratio. Filling tends to be formed patties, and flavours between the varieties do not differ much. -Xiao long bao: waited longer for these to come out of the kitchen, but so worth it! The combination of the texture, taste and gush of soup from these buns was really good! -Fried chicken pieces: a bit bland tasting and a bit dry. All the food was fresh, and I didn't sense any MSG in them, so that's a bonus. I'd come back for at least the noodle soups and Xiao long bao!

    Pork and veggies dumplings

    Food was hot and delicious The restaurant is cafeteria style so you need to grab tea and utensils yourself. It's spacious, clean and bright the staff are so friendly. The dumplings remind me of the ones my grandmother used to make. They also sell frozen dumplings and buns so you can take some home to make for a late night snack!!

    The food was amazing and the beef was so tender. You could see the food being made behind a glass window. Would definitely come back

    All I can say is that everything at this restaurant was on point…read more Unfortunately, there was horrible traffic (due to the Marathon closures), and we were 1/2 hour late! But the wonderful hostess accommodated us, and I am so glad that she did! I cannot remember everything that we ate, but I know we got pork belly, dumplings, and duck rice cakes. OMG - everything was perfectly and authentically prepared! The wait staff was wonderful and so helpful with ordering and suggestions for eating. What a wonderful experience! We cannot wait to go back to Vancouver and eat at Bao Bei AGAIN!!

    I would rate the 2.5 stars out of 5. We had a reservation…read morefor 6pm , soon after we arrived the restaurant packed up quickly. Almost all the tables were full. They have a selection of snacks and small plates.tapas style and meant for sharing. We ordered a couple of item, they came one by one about 10 minutes apart. The dishes would have tasted so much better if they had came all together. The kitchen couldn't keep up with all the orders. We sat right front of the kitchen where you can see through. The dishes were coming out very slowly. Mautou The short ribs were overcooked and kinda tough to chew. The daikon radish on it was delicious. The plate was sitting for a while so it was not very hot when we got it Dumpling Steamed prawn and scallop dumpling. It was nice and hot. Filling was very good. The wrapper was horrible, it tastes like the cheap super market kind. Sablefish Delicious. Very soft . Didn't feel very Asian . More French style Pea shots Highly recommend by the server. The vegetables was very old and half of it was tough to chew. The tips were edible. It was also sitting for a while before we received it. It was not hot. Barely warm Not very impressed with this place. It's probably the most expensive and worst tasting Chinese food we had. Was not satisfied

    Came here for a Chinese wedding reception and the whole place was reserved for us…read more The food was a set menu and everything on it was yummy and well prepared. I like the way they portioned it and served each of us. They did not skimp out on the ingredients, such as if they say whole abalone, it really is. They definitely served the best seafood. The dessert also was amazing with the brown sugar cake and tapioca pudding. The only reason 1 star was missing was that parking was not that easy and service was mostly good. At times, some staff were not was attentive such as: they took the chopsticks away, but you still needed them. Still, Kirin is solid for it's dim sum and seafood!

    以高級餐廳來說食物品質已經不太行了。不過最讓人失望的是服務態度非常差。當天用餐人不多,但上菜速度卻非常慢,點了四道菜,結果兩道菜先上了,後面兩道等了45分鐘都沒上,想加點白飯和要水也等了很久才有人處理…read more整個過程都感覺被怠慢。 不知道是不是因為我們沒有點高價海鮮或其他高單價餐點,服務人員的態度顯得相當冷淡,讓人用餐體驗大打折扣。以這樣的價位來說,這樣的服務品質實在無法接受。整體感受非常差,不會再訪,也不推薦。 As a high end restaurant, the food quality was below average. However, what truly disappointed me was the poor service. Even though the restaurant was not busy, the dishes were served very slowly. The first 2 dishes came out fast, but the later 2 dishes came out after 45 min. When we asked for additional rice and water, we had to wait an unusually long time. Throughout the meal, we felt neglected. It was hard not to feel that the level of service was noticeably indifferent, possibly because we did not order any high-priced seafood or premium dishes. For a restaurant at this price point, the service was simply unacceptable. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience. I would not return and would not recommend it.
