Patisserie Bao Bao Dim Sum draws broadly positive feedback across reviews for a wide range of steamed baos, congee, noodles, and other dim sum at reasonable prices. The buns are commonly praised for their soft, fluffy texture and careful preparation, with fillings that range from flavorful savory options to sweet custard; a few fillings are noted as mild and could use bolder seasoning. Freshness and quality are emphasized, and the shop is described as simple and pleasant with efficient service. Seating is limited, making takeout a common choice and suitable for quick bites or park outings. Some reviewers mention wishing for later hours. A few critiques appear, such as underseasoned items or minor packaging issues, but overall the experience is viewed as solid and a good value in Chinatown for both sweet and savory baos and other dim sum offerings.
Immensely disappointed with how small our order was for the price. The spring rolls tasted like grocery store made ones & were tiny. Everything was too small.
This was a fast & affordable place to grab a bite. The buns were delicious & the spicy porc bun was so flavourful & definitely had a kick to it. I would highly recommend checking it out. 2 buns & chow mein came out to almost 18$. Not bad in this economy. Would be going back.

I am just telling our own experience. We'd always bought buns from their bakery next door (I don't know if it's the same owner) but this time we decided to finally try the little restaurant. We bought 3 rice cakes in green leaf, insipide no flavor, the rice was a cheap brand, overcooked it just tasted like a white flour paste, ingredients inside consisted of a whole dehydrated mushroom so old that it lost it's flavour. The other rice consisted of a very dried red been paste which broke in pieces when I went to cut it, no flavor/bland, the third one was a yellow rice (I think they just used food color) same thing not any spice nor flavor. Won ton soup a 5 out of 10. Now the Egg rools: seemed like they just rolled up two tiny cabbage leaves in egg rolls wraps… That's it! No flavor. How can they be so indifferently apathetic serving such food to their clients! We just felt we've been ripped off. I think they just trap new clients/travelers who never return back, who else would.
Delicious menu. Great assortment of delicious recipes. For me, I love planning summer park outings to write & eat. This will be my go to restaurant for takeout food for the park excursions.
Wir waren in der Patisserie Bao Bao in Montreal und hatten einen sehr positiven Eindruck. Die Auswahl ist übersichtlich, aber gut zusammengestellt, und alles wirkt frisch und sorgfältig gemacht.
Die süßen Kreationen haben uns überzeugt: geschmacklich ausgewogen, nicht zu süß und mit klar erkennbaren Aromen. Man merkt, dass hier handwerklich sauber gearbeitet wird und Wert auf Qualität gelegt wird, statt auf Effekte. Auch optisch sind die Produkte ansprechend, ohne überladen zu wirken.
Der Laden selbst ist angenehm und schlicht gehalten, was gut zum Konzept passt. Der Service war freundlich und effizient, man wurde gut beraten, ohne dass es aufdringlich war.
Insgesamt ist Bao Bao eine sehr gute Adresse für asiatische Patisserie in Montreal.
Bao craving people, here's your place to go! All kinds of sweet & savory varieties are available, they also have congee, noodles, & other snacks in the menu. Price is reasonable. I got myself a chicken mushroom congee & bun, it was ok
Extra le bao poulet teriyaki!
Juste le papier blanc en dessous qui colle & déchire en petits morceaux collé aussi… un peu ordinaire de ne pas mettre un vrai papier parchemin
The food at Bao Bao dimsum is yummy. Price is reasonable. The freshly steamed dimsum buns are 👍. Not many seats inside. Depending on what you ordered, expect 10min wait time for the main dish. Definitely will shop again.
My wife & I visited Montreal, we made a stop in the vibrant Chinatown district & decided to try Bao Bao Dim Sum for a quick bite. It was our first time trying bao & buns, so we were quite curious & excited to experience something new.
The bao buns themselves were quite impressive in terms of texture, soft, smooth, & fluffy, just as they should be. They had a gentle, almost pillow-like quality.
As for the filling, it was decent but not exceptional. It had a mild flavor, & while it was well-cooked, we felt it could have used a bit more seasoning or a bolder flavor profile to really make the experience memorable. It wasn't disappointing, but it didn't quite wow us either.
Overall, our experience was pleasant, especially as a first-time introduction to bao. It's a good place to try something different, especially if you're exploring Chinatown & want a quick & easy meal. While the buns themselves stood out for their excellent texture, the fillings left a bit more to be desired in terms of flavour.
The bao was adorable & delicious. We had the mixed vegetable & the green onion. The mixed vegetable was so flavorful. The texture was perfect. The green onion was simple, but also great texture. Service was very quick. Highly recommend.
A highlight of our meals. The baos & dumplings were good but the egg tart was amazing. Buttery, flaky crust with a delicious egg filling that reminds me of HK tarts. Highly recommend!
