Gongfu Bao - Ottawa

I had a great experience at this restaurant during their all-vegan night in November. It was so successful that now every Wednesday is vegan night! I have tried a variety of dishes from the menu and enjoyed every bite. Updated review as of February 22, 2024.

This restaurant offers some of the most delicious and flavorful vegan food in the city! Their baos are excellent, and their rice bowls are equally tasty. Don't forget to try their vegan puff balls for dessert!

They had one vegan option for dinner and it was really good. It’s a lot of interesting flavours that you don’t eat usually. Recommend!

I cannot say enough good things about Gongfu Bao this place is so underrated! They used to be just a takeout counter, but recently they renovated a small space for dining in. The booths are small and cozy. Service is really quick and friendly, and there are loads of vegan options on the menu. The red braised tofu Bao is absolutely delicious: crispy and saucy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside. The Bao buns are homemade and so fluffy! A serving includes 2 Bao, which looks small but is actually super filling. The Toban slaw is a must too. Overall, I would highly recommend this place if you're looking for the best Bao in Ottawa!

I really enjoyed the tofu bao with beyond crumble. The service was friendly and I'm excited to try their other menu items. I have tried all the vegan options since writing this original review and the rest of the bao is SO good. Tvp and tofu boas are just so good.
