Bao Bei Vancouver Reviews
SOMETIMES YOU GET LUCKY NOT OVERTHINKING IT
Our visit was totally serendipitous, having exhausted ourselves touring Vancouver on foot and ready to eat anyplace we landed in Chinatown. My husband said, "Here. Let's just go in here." I checked my phone and it had good ratings.
Lovely dinner! Every dish was a treat! The fried chicken,
Lovely dinner! Every dish was a treat! The fried chicken, dumplings, eggplant, flatbread, and amped up fried rice were delightful. Oh, and the 3 ice cream dessert too. Service was wonderful, thanks Julia and associates. Highly recommend. We had 5 gre

The food is unique .
The crushed cucumber is spicy but refreshing. Fish was fresh and delicious. The sauce was amazing. Never had the similar fried chicken flavor before, exceptional and super delicious. The soy pudding was light sweet and cleanse the palate as a conclud
Tasty wontons
The pork and prawn wontons were tasty. The steamed prawn, scallop and chive dumplings were well prepared and delicious.

I came here right when they opened and had no issues sitting at the bar. The bar tender recommended the pina colada and it did not disappoint. It was pretty busy. The service was fast and restaurant was pretty. I also ordered the fried rice and it wa

Bao Bei in Chinatown is hands down the best food we had in Vancouver. We tried the dumplings, potstickers, fried rice, and pork belly buns--everything was solid. Staff was friendly, and the place has a cozy, relaxed vibe. If you're in Chinatown,
Eclectic Chinese
A different take on your typical Chinese restaurant but there are still dumplings, noodles and rice. The fried Szechuan chicken was very flavorful but the eggplant was unlike any way I’d ever had it before and delicious. We had the fried rice and v

Friendly, efficient service; interesting decor and lively, somewhat noisy, ambiance. All good. Food? Unusual, Asian-ish, menu with vegetarian/vegan options. More interesting than delicious. Our choices ended up being on the dry side (our server advi
Well worth going to!
Fantastic Eggplant - so sweet it was like candy. Loved the cabbage and tofu as well. Great change from a “standard” Chinese restaurant!
A wonderful place
There were 4 of us and we each ordered 2 dishes. It was an amazing experience. We all agreed the absolute best was their treatment of market fish, it was absolutely delicious. Their cocktails and beer offererings were delicious as well. This remains
Looking forward to returning!
A very cute and cozy restaurant. We had several different dishes. All were delicious. Pea shoots and dumplings were our favorites.

Cool Place
This is a small, intimate restaurant and unfortunately the people who are seated by you have an impact on your experience. We were seated between a family & a frat friend group reunion. You get the picture. The food was great, the service very go

Tucked away on a quiet street in Chinatown, Bao Bei doesn't call much attention to itself from the outside. But step through the door, and you're greeted with a warm, inviting space that feels like a blend of farmhouse and bistro. Upside-do

If pretentious was a favorable criteria I would rate it at least a 9! There wasn't a fork in sight. No soy sauce was on the table. I asked for a sweetener to go with my hot tea. They didn't have any. The waitress offered to bring me sugar f
Best Asian meal ever
Without a doubt, one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Service impeccable. Food beyond imagination. Not your local Chinese style food—no garbage.
Very disappointed in their cancellation policy as our
Very disappointed in their cancellation policy as our flight was delayed into Vancouver and we will miss our reservation. They are charging my card $25 person for a situation completely out of our control.
Outstanding food and service!
Amazing food, friendly atmosphere and attentive service! We loved our meal here-everything we had was delicious. Standouts were the Bao Bun pork and the eggplant (triple fried and so scrumptious!) Highly recommended!!
Traditional food with a creative twist
The food in this restaurant was amazing, with a creative twist on traditional food dishes. The chicken fried rice was delicious. The staff was attentive and the service was good.
Such wonderful, different Chinese you’re sure to find the mixture of flavors and textures to your liking.
My three sisters and I and my 97 yo dad wanted a flavorful meal together in Vancouver. We chose Bai Bao based on reviews and menu. We were not disappointed. Small plates but made for 5 came out in waves so the food was fresh from the kitchen. Th

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

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,
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 f

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
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 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

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 theref
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.
Uniquely Delicious
Bao Bei lives up to its reputation as an inventive, scrumptious dining experience. Cocktails — like the huge pina colada & aperol spritz — were a great start. Every kind of tofu we tried was delicious. Chicken wings & killer fried rice w
A disappointing meal at Bao Bei
This is supposed to be “unique takes on classic Chinese cuisine” in a “Compact, stylish Chinatown space” not an all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet, so set your quantity expectations accordingly. (We went with the promise of small plates of “pla
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
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 dumpling
Connect with users posting reservations for Bao Bei Vancouver
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Bao Bei Vancouver. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Bao Bei Vancouver at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Bao Bei Vancouver page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* EternalAnt36, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* EternalAnt36 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to EternalAnt36 for any questions Peter may have as EternalAnt36 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* EternalAnt36 now uses their connections at Bao Bei Vancouver to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If EternalAnt36 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, EternalAnt36 receives the $200 reward which is credited to EternalAnt36's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Bao Bei Vancouver!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
