Szechuan green beans & tofu
Matt B.

I've been back here a few times and haven't been as impressed as my initial visit. They have a very nice vegetarian menu with all sorts of items, and my overall impression is that their flavours are not all that complex compared to other Szechuan cuisines in town (e.g., Chongqing). They throw a lot of chili peppers into their dishes, but the sauces / seasonings are not all that interesting. On this occasion, we ordered online for a 6pm pick-up: Szechuan green beans & tofu, dai ching tofu, and 2 egg rolls ($2.50 each plus tax). I got an e-mail at 5:40pm saying the food was ready, but this wasn't when I requested the order to be ready. That meant our egg rolls were soggy by the time I picked them up and got them home. Even if they were fresh, they were quite small, doughy and with a very boring all-cabbage filling. I wouldn't order these again. The Szechuan green beans & tofu were not all that special. I've had much better Szechuan green beans at many places locally -- they just throw a lot of chili peppers and jalapenos at this without trying to flavour this dish much. And the tofu is very oily and salty. 2.5/5 The dai ching vegetables were good. Spicy, quite flavourful, but still on the oily side even for Chinese food. I enjoyed this overall. 3.5/5 At this point, I'll return maybe occasionally, but with so many Chinese options in Vancouver, I won't prioritize this place.

Combo

Price: 2 mains just barely fall under the $40 mark. Reasonable, but man I miss old days with lunch combos at 6.99. Does that age me? Food: let the wor wonton search of 2023 continue! Wor wonton was a little more Szechuan style (per the restaurant name). The prawn-y wonton broth came separate from the large amounts of wonton, bbq pork, chicken, and veg, which were covered in mystery brown sauce. What was it? I don't know but mixed with the soup it was good. A little on the salty side Combo: this was a pick your own which I appreciated. To be comparable to all the other combos we like to try, we got chicken fried noodle, sweet and sour pork, and a spring roll because they didn't have deep fried prawn. Noodles were a bit dry and flavourless, but s&s pork was pretty good. Wouldn't order combo again Bonus har gao and siu mai because we were hungry: har gao wrappers were a bit chewy but it was delivery, so ymmv. Siu mai was pretty good. Nondescript but not in a bad way Rating: yommmmm. Would do the dim sum and wonton soup again but would also keep trying other places.

Ginger beef soaked in honey sauce. It was like dessert.
Paul S.

I've had western Chinese food and there are some places that do it properly. This place just doesn't care nor do they have standards. Ordered from the lunch menu the ginger beef. It came with wonton soup which was decent. The main dish itself was disappointing. I had 60% beef and 40% honey sauce. I couldn't even finish it. Didn't bother to complain as I was on my lunch break from work and didn't have time to have them make me a proper dish. Like how could you now be aware that the order you made was like dessert. All that honey sauce was disgusting. I shouldn't have to complain about something so obvious. The ginger beef should be tossed in the sauce not drowning in it. I just won't return is all.

Very authentic. Very quick. Very tasty. All at a decent price. All good. Well worth the walk down (and back up) the hill from Broadway.

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
