The concept of snacking on dim sum food, well just sign me up!
I don't have to commit to a sit down meal in a restaurant to satisfy my dumpling craving? Oh yes please. (Opens at 11am)
I really like the braised beef bao with that rich deep simmered beef flavour and the tender meat, oh so good.
And the dumplings are great too! I like the pork and shrimp ones, and along with their house made hot oil sauce, it's standard dim sum I realize but whipping in and out of this tiny spot makes it extra special.
There are a couple of vegan dishes too and the rice bowls look really good and more of a meal for around $8.50.
With Starbucks on the corner and super dive of a Pizza Pizza across the street, Mean Bao is the obvious choice when it comes to a quick and light snack to keep you going.
Don't go expecting something fantastic, but after every time I go the energy both literally and metaphorically I feel from eating this fabulous street food just can't be beat.
