Bao Bei Vancouver Reviews from The Last Year
Who knew that Bao Bei would literally turn out to be my Bao
Who knew that Bao Bei would literally turn out to be my Bao Bei! We were in search of a tasting menu while visiting Vancouver, and were so glad we chose Bao Bei! I won't spoil it all for y'all, but some very noteworthy highlights: Beef Tartare: I never knew beef tartare could be so... refreshing? I don't even know how to aptly describe this. The word ethereal comes to mind. Honestly, it was so light, airy, delicate, and wonderful. And it's freaking beef! Mind blowing. Steamed Prawn, Scallop, Chive Dumplings & Steamed Pork/Sauerkraut Dumplings: Wowowowow. My mouth is watering thinking about these. Hat Yai Chicken Wings: I always appreciate when dishes I'd usually never order at nice restaurants are included in tasting menus, since it gives me a chance to try something I typically wouldn't. The wings themselves were great, but the SAUCE(!!!!) is what truly made it memorable. Service was absolutely on point. I had a moment where I had noted to my partner "sometimes at tasting menus I wish I could try multiple dishes at the same time, instead of one at a time", and literally a minute later they dropped off 2-3 dishes at a time. I think it was extremely coincidental, but it definitely had us wondering if they were listening intently!
Caught between two stools - traditional Chinese VS Asian fusion
Service: Warm welcome and consistently service from friendly and attentive staff. Summary: Trying hard to infuse new ideas into well-established flavour profiles/dishes that may be interesting on the first bite, but a bit tiresome, mostly confusing for a Chinese myself. On the Michelin guide this restaurant has been presented as a Chinese/Taiwanese place which is NOT true. Flavour: A bit on the heavy side with over-the-top saltiness/spiciness, it would be healthier and familiar if the chef pays tribute to Chinese cuisine without trying too hard.
We walked in with no reservation on a Saturday evening
We walked in with no reservation on a Saturday evening right when the restaurant opened. We got bar seating immediately and was treated extremely kindly by the hostess, waiter and bartender. We got the chino margarita which was the perfect consistency, foamy and not too sweet. The kick ass fried rice was incredible. Granted the housemade xo sauce is what really made the dish go up a notch but even without it, we thoroughly enjoyed. We also got the siu mai dumplings. So flavorful. We ended with the brown butter mochi cake. It's tart, chewy and the oranges add a unique freshness. We loved it. Ambiance was simple and nice, nothing crazy. It is more of a cosy small restaurant because of the small space
Crowded but friendly
Bao Bei offers a delightful fusion of Asian flavors that tantalize the taste buds and leave you craving for more. The service here is impeccable, with attentive staff who ensure a memorable dining experience. However, the only downside is the proximity of the tables, which can make it feel a bit cramped. Despite this, the friendly atmosphere encourages lively conversations and adds to the charm of the place.

Mixed review
Bao Bei has been around for quite awhile, but never got around to trying it until this December. When it first opened, it was popular because it was a new take on Chinese food, but after all this time, it's not a unique concept. We arrived at open, so it wasn't busy, and were immediately seated. It's a small, dark space, so great for a more intimate date setting. We looked over the menu and tried the following: - Crispy Chicken Thighs - Good. Have certainly had similar dishes before, so nothing standout, but a solid dish still. - Lamb Potstickers - Very good. I normally don't like lamb, but I liked these. Really deft handwork to make these. Memorable. - Skirt Steak - OK. Steak was fine, but I didn't feel the ingredients came together for me. Felt more like leftovers thrown on top without much thought to purpose. - Taiwanese Cauliflower - Very good. Probably the surprise dish for the night. Wasn't expecting too much, but this came through as the most unique and best made dish of the nighit. - Sticky Rice Cakes - Bad. The one dish I wish I never ordered. Already mushy, the sauce made the overall texture even worse. Also too salty. Service was OK. Friendly and attentive enough, so no complaints. Overall, I thought the food was too inconsistent to really appreciate it overall. I liked the lamb potstickers and Taiwanese cauliflower, but thought the rice cakes were terrible and everything else was sort of average. As for as concept goes, it's not that original. The only thing going for it is that Chinatown doesn't have many good Chinese restaurants anymore, so this place might pass as the next best option in the area.
Amazing spot! It was recommended by three different people
Amazing spot! It was recommended by three different people and I get why! You must have the king pea tips, trust me! Also the bap buns were great. The service was top notch as well, so accommodating.
Fun experience while visiting Vancouver.
Great service and food, and ambience was nice too. This place is a great place if you are looking for a good date spot.
Fantastic attentive service from the moment we walked in
Fantastic attentive service from the moment we walked in the door. Especially enjoyed the kick ass rice with prawns and the beef tartar. Our waitress (dark curly hair, glasses) was a delight and very knowledgeable about the menu and wine. It was my first time dining here and I'm already looking forward to my next visit.
Service itself gets a star because of how attentive and
Service itself gets a star because of how attentive and detail oriented our waiter was. The food was good, but not great. It's a Chinese brasserie, so portions are pretty small. While meant for sharing, appetizer plates like the fried tofu literally come out to two bite-sized pieces of tofu. While we had skirt steak and their fried rice (too salty), the star of the night was the manitou (you get two). The buns were made and steamed in house, and they are packed full. The interior of this place kind of reminds me of a home. It's just one long space with lots of tables pushed together. All in all, it was fun coming here, but we probably wouldn't be back. If we're getting Chinese, we would probably steer towards Richmond.
Mixed experience this evening.
The pea tips, cauliflower, eggplant, and tofu skin were all great. The wagyu skirt steak was not great. I wouldn't have ordered the fried chicken wings, but we did the chef's choice, and it was included.
One of the best shared table dining experiences I've ever
One of the best shared table dining experiences I've ever had. The menu started strong with a tingly pineapple hot sauce to pair with the oyster mushrooms. This juxtaposed well with the pickled eggplant. While we waited for further dishes we watched as our neighboring table repeatedly kept ordering the shao bing flatbread. When ours arrived we quickly realized why. The bok choy may be the best I've ever had. And the kick @$$ fried rice delivered a unique take on the staple dish. The wait staff was friendly and quick and the ambiance well matched the food!

We just got home from a dinner out at Bao Bei and we are eating the amazing basque cheesecake. Wonderful meal and amazing dessert!
Big disappointment
Very Americanized Chinese cuisine. We took the chef's menu at 65. Very expensive menu without dessert with, among other things, not really refined appetizers, chicken wings seasoned with minced pepper, tartar mixture with lukewarm marrow bones therefore difficult to eat served with a small spoon for 2, dim sum (3 pork, 3 seafood) with the dough falling apart and to finish a big bowl of rice with pieces of pumpkin and small raw shrimp. In conclusion it wasn't bad but unfortunately it's not the Chinese cuisine we were hoping for. The restaurant was crowded and very popular with Canadians with a waiting list for tables. As a result, the service was prompt and we had dinner in 30 minutes. Another disappointment for the setting with stools whose fabric seats were shabby and if you look up, the air conditioning grills near the bar have not been cleaned for some time and had black streaks. We regretted our choice of restaurant and took no pleasure in dining in this restaurant.
Amazing veggie food!
Ate here with friends in August 2023, some of the best food on our trip to Canada! Amazing service, great vibes in the restaurant and good selection of food for us all. The tofu was so great we ordered it again! Highly recommend
Run, do not walk, to Bao Bei.
Fabulous fusion. The chef's tasting menu is a mouthwatering tour around the Pacific Rim.
Stellar food and service
A friend back home told us about this great small restaurant in Chinatown and we booked a spot right at opening. Oh my. Fabulous food, wonderful staff, really great!
Delicious Food
I would had given this restaurant a 5 rating if it wasn't for the unwelcome experience we had with the Maitre d' PROS The food was delicious, the service was excellent and I liked how you can see a clean kitchen with the cooks preparing the meals. I enjoyed their special drinks too. CONS: The Maitre D . We arrived 5 minutes before opening time and were the first customers coming to an empty restaurant. The Maitre D asked us to wait outside in the heat in a very unwelcome manner. We waited outside and the weather was very hot. When the Maitre d said that we could come in, I asked to be seated in their coolest area of the restaurant. The Maitre D acted annoyed and asked us to seat in the farthest area from the air conditioner. It felt warm there. When I went to use the bathroom at the end of the restaurant, I realized that the back is the coldest area, but it was too late for me to make changes as other customers were seating there. To the restaurant management: Please train this Maitre d to be kinder and more welcome. Your food is delicious, the rest of the staff is wonderful.
Uniquely Delicious
Bao Bei lives up to its reputation as an inventive, scrumptious dining experience. Cocktails β like the huge pina colada & aperol spritz β were a great start. Every kind of tofu we tried was delicious. Chicken wings & killer fried rice were favorites. Our server advised us well. Be sure to make a reservation for this unique and popular place.
A disappointing meal at Bao Bei
This is supposed to be βunique takes on classic Chinese cuisineβ in a βCompact, stylish Chinatown spaceβ not an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet, so set your quantity expectations accordingly. (We went with the promise of small plates of βplayful, creativeβ food. We had the Chefs Choice menu and were sadly underwhelmed. Our "Schnaks" were: Eggplant with ginger, Bean curd with mushroom, and Crispy Tofu with a delicious garlic sweet soy sauce. Everything tasted better once dunked in that sauce, it was the highlight of the night. It made all three dishes better. Next up was Pork with Ramp Dumplings and Crab Prawn Dumplings accompanied by a Vinegar sauce. Perfectly adequate but uninspired, certainly not βinventive and fun.β The black bean bok choy with spicy peanuts arrived next. Tough to keep peanuts on bok choy, but it was tasty. This was followed by Laksa marinated chicken wings with turmeric mayo and Thai chilis. While the chilis were actually spicy, the wings themselves while physically hot, were plain and not crispy enough for our liking. The mantou buns filled with braised hoisin pork, miso serrano aioli, turmeric dill kohlrabi and the Halibut with zucchini, lobster broth, and fennel seed oil... were both bland, not βpositively irresistible.β The Halibut flavours were so subtle, I felt it needed spice. I added a few remaining chillis from the chicken wings, brightening it up on my tongue. With a chef's menu, timing is key. Our plates were seemingly rushed out on a conveyor, we were finished in 1 hour. In addition to the disappointing meal, we were annoyed by the space itself. The dining room is loud and the kitchen itself was also loud. Our table was directly in front of the kitchen window, which meant we heard every order yelled out. Every... single... order... was yelled towards our table. Why? Why this layout? Why not yell the orders INTO the kitchen Chef JoΓ«l Watanabe, instead of at the diners? It boggles the mind. We did not get to try the "kick-ass fried rice," though we fear it would over-promise and under-deliver like the rest of our meal did, to us at least.
Terrific Asian fusion restaurant
Terrific little Asian fusion restaurant. Very contemporary vibe. French and Indian influences, but Chinese at its core. We shared four dishes, three vegetarian, one pescatarian. Plus a couple of lagers that went perfectly with the food. Only one I wouldnβt request again would be the small rice cakes. Everything else was stupendous.
Better than average Chinese cuisine in a fun spot
Great find in Chinatown. It's sort of legendary, which makes me wary, but it lives up to the hype. The owners were happy to reseat us after we were stuck next to a really overbearing guest, which we are grateful for. And the potstickers and dumplings and shao bing (flatbread with lamb, green beans and chillis) were all satisfying. Very fun urban ambience.

Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been βmatchedβ with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
