You know the drill. You’re out with friends, family, or maybe even that new Tinder date, and the server hands you a menu the size of a novella.

Suddenly, you’re a contestant on a food version of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire,” trying to decode a maze of choices while your stomach growls like a feral animal.

That’s where Mr. Bao flips the script. This isn’t one of those places where you spend 15 minutes just deciding what kind of water you want.

Nope. Here, the menu is small but mighty—a perfectly curated lineup of bao buns, bowls, and bar-worthy drinks that leave no room for decision fatigue.

Every dish is a mic drop, so you can spend less time second-guessing and more time savouring.

And let’s talk about those drinks.

At Mr. Bao, we don’t just serve up mouthwatering bao buns—they’re also the kind of bar that mixes a cocktail so good, you’ll feel like you’re cheating on your usual spot.

Pairing a bold bao bun with a drink that hits just right? That’s the kind of night out you deserve.

Ready to see why Mr. Bao’s menu is the secret sauce to your perfect night out? Let’s dive in.

Start Strong with the Signature Bao Buns

Let’s be real—bao buns are the star of the show. These pillowy pockets of joy are stuffed with bold flavours that don’t just meet your expectations—they steamroll over them.

Take the Pork Belly Bao, for example. Imagine this: tender, caramelized pork belly that practically melts in your mouth, literally too juicy for extra sauce, all wrapped in a cloud-like bao bun.

It’s the kind of bite that makes you close your eyes and nod like you’re in a food commercial.

Or maybe you’re feeling adventurous. Try the Crispy Chicken Bao—golden-fried chicken that’s crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, served with tangy kimchi mayo that gives just enough heat to wake up your taste buds. You won’t just taste this one—you’ll feel it.

Pro Tip: Pair a bao bun with one of Mr. Bao’s craft cocktails (we’ll get to those in a minute) for the ultimate flavour combo.

Bowls That Don’t Mess Around

If bao buns are the opening act, the bowls are the headliners.

The Beef Brisket Bowl is a slow-cooked masterpiece that tastes like a warm hug on a cold night.

Think tender beef that’s been simmered to perfection, served over a bed of fragrant jasmine rice, and topped with fresh herbs and pickled veggies for a zingy kick.

And for our plant-based pals, the Vegan Bowl is no afterthought.

It’s a medley of roasted tofu, grilled mushrooms, and seasonal veggies tossed in a savory soy glaze that’s so good, it might just convert a meat-lover.

Where the Real Magic Happens

Here’s the thing about Mr. Bao—it’s not just about the food. The bar is where the night gets elevated.

These aren’t your standard rum-and-Coke type drinks. These are cocktails crafted with the same attention to detail as the food.

Start with a Margarita—a timeless classic with a tangy lime punch and just the right amount of salt on the rim. It’s refreshing, vibrant, and pairs beautifully with the bold flavours of a bao bun.

If you’re feeling a little fancy, the Espresso Martini will wake up your taste buds with its smooth coffee kick. Creamy, rich, and undeniably indulgent, it’s the perfect dessert drink that keeps the good times rolling.

For something playful and unexpected, go for the House Alcoholic Slushie.

Think of it as the ultimate throwback to your childhood summers, now with a grown-up twist that’s boozy, icy, and ridiculously fun.

And if cocktails aren’t your thing, don’t sweat it—Mr. Bao also offers a curated selection of beers and spirits, so there’s something for everyone.

Why Less is Definitely More

Here’s the genius of Mr. Bao’s menu: every item earns its spot.
