Mean Bao is an excellent choice if you're in the mood for restaurant quality bao and dim sum served at fast-food speeds. This location is one of three operating in busy sections of the city.
Anticipate a line up at peak periods, but don't be discouraged because the staff work attentively to get customers served in prompt fashion. The whole menu lineup is affordable, which means you can try different options each time you visit without having to shell out too much.
Must-try items:
Braised Beef bao
Jerk Chicken bao
Chicken bao
Shrimp dumplings
If you haven't tried bao before, you should. Jerk chicken is the way to go, as the sauce goes perfectly and melts in your mouth. Even the buns are made to perfection. Overall this is one of my favourite spots for a convenient snack that I can eat on the spot or take to go.
