I've now visited multiple times, and still loving it. Friendly staff, delicious food. We loved the tasting platter of starters & of course, the bao buns are the best thing ever. As others have said, so fresh, light and flavoursome.

Description
Bao Bar is a fully licensed Eatery that experiments with delicious ingredients to bring you innovative Asian flavors at affordable prices. We bring inspiration from the streets of Asia to central Riccarton, the environment is different but the soul remains the same! All ingredients are prepared fresh each day, creating a flavor so good that it reminds you why being food-obsessed (and specifically obsessed with finding the best Asian street food in town) is always worth it. Enjoy!
