Bao Sandwich Bar is a bao restaurant in Waterloo and Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. The restaurant serves Vietnamese bánh mì sandwiches and Taiwanese gua bao.[1][2] The menu items take inspiration from a variety of Asian cuisines.[1][2][3]
Bao Sandwich Bar serves sandwiches that include chicken, beef, pork, duck, fish, avocado, and tofu.[1] The sandwiches are either served on steamed bao buns, which are made in-house, or on a baguette.[3] For drinks: coffee, tea, juice, soda, beer, and soju are served.[2]
In a 2017 visit to the Waterloo location, Jasmine Mangalaseril of the Waterloo Region Record tried pork, chicken, and beef-based baos, which were described: "Cottony house-made bao. Crunchy lightly pickled vegetables. Well-prepared and flavourful meats."[2] They also tried desserts: an ice cream sandwich and a "Corn Cookie", which the reviewer found to be "a bit meh".[2] In 2016, Andrew Coppolino of CBC News included the Pork Belly Banh Mi on a list of his 16 favourite dishes of 2016 in the Region,[4] and recommended the dish on a list of sandwich options in the Waterloo Region in 2019.[5]
