12 Powell Street, Vancouver (Gastown)
This place is awesome. Bao Down in Gastown is described on Yelp as "Asian Fusion" known for it's "twist on traditional Asian Bao". In case you aren't familiar with bao, it is a type of steamed bun that Chinese have for tea or breakfast. They usually have various fillings in them such as custard, red bean or meat (but not together, because that would be weird). With attention grabbing names like Two Worlds Collide!!! and Bao Chicka Bao Bao, Bao Down created a new spin on a classic Asian dish. I had the Jaws Bao, which had coconut crusted Vietnamese catfish, kimchi tartar sauce, Thai vinaigrette tossed cabbage and microgreens. It definitely is the perfect size for a snack or a light dinner. Also, if you are a Yelper, make sure you check in to get the Bao Beignets for free! (Because who doesn't love free things?) NEW: check out their new and expanded location in False Creek: Bao Down Gastropub & Raw Bar.
