My friends have told me a lot about the mean bao chain and I finally managed to go. I was intrigued at a western concept of chinese steam buns.
The Leslieville location is small and very intimate that seats roughly 20 people at max capacity. Its located in a random location you wouldn't expect to find a good restaurant. This is the place I would go to for a quick lunch with friends but not for a full out meal.
Everyone raves about the hosin pork belly, and though it was tasty i found the flavor was heavy and hard to swallow after a few bites. My personal favorite is the tekken chicken a nice combination of sweet and spicy and meaty chicken thigh paired with a pickled daikon.
The snacks are abit pricey I found, for the size that you get but if you're looking to enjoy light lunch out with friends, this is the place to be!
