If you love bao and banh mi, you’re in for a treat: a new restaurant just opened up serving tasty Asian street food.
Bank Bao just opened, and they’re serving banh mi and daily homemade bao created using local ingredients. They also make their sauces fresh in store.
Their menu has a range of proteins that can be stuffed into a banh mi or a bao. Right now there are three options for chicken, two for beef, and two for pork.
Those options are fried chicken with homemade mayo sauce and sweet soy glaze, fried chicken with Korean garlic sauce and garlic mayo, chicken katsu with tonkatsu sauce, grilled beef, bulgogi beef, spicy grilled pork and braised pork belly.
There are also some other different protein options: Peking-style duck, crispy fried fish, crispy tofu and crispy panko avocado.
Bao start around $7.75 for the fish and tofu options, and the more expensive banh mi sandwiches range up to $14.50 for their duck option.
But the menu doesn’t end there: Bank Bao also serves up some pretty impressive sides. They’ve got salad and wings, as well as a range of fries that includes sweet potato fries, kimchi fries, bulgogi fries and duck poutine. For drinks, you can opt for peach green tea, Thai iced tea or Vietnamese coffee.
Bank Bao is now open at 375 Spadina Avenue.
