| - It's a Bao Time is a fusion restaurant located in Markham, serving different kind of buns, such as Chinese buns, Mexican taco, and Vietnamese bahn mi.
The restaurant's name is a clever pun (It's about time), and it is located in the space of former Go for Tea in Richmond Hill. It is a fast food style place with bright and colorful decorations. The back wall is an impressive mural, with an actual working clock hidden on the side.
It's a Bao Time is best for lunch for all the offices around the area. They serve different kind of buns, bahn mi, and taco, stuffed with fusion Asian items such as Japanese fried chicken, Korean bulgogi, and Chinese pork belly.
We tasted the fish bao and the Japanese fried chicken bao. The bao were steamed nicely and very soft. The fried fish and Japanese chicken were fried perfectly and it is an interesting fusion to the traditional Chinese bao. There were veggie such as lettuce and tomato to complement the meat items
Beside buns, we also tasted their fries and poutine. We were especially impressed by their octopus poutine as this is something we have never tasted before. They are also famous for their kimchi fries.
Overall we enjoyed this place and were impressed by their willing to try different fusion items. Recommend all Richmond Hill workers to come here to try for lunch!
