What is a Bao Bun?
Bao Buns are a traditional Chinese steamed milk bun, but at Bao Buns YVR, they’re transformed into unforgettable dessert creations. Each bun is double-cooked. First steamed for a soft and fluffy interior, then deep-fried for a crispy golden outside, it's then topped with ice cream, condensed milk, icing sugar, and specialty toppings. These dessert buns are a must-try for anyone exploring Surrey's sweet eats.

Their infectious energy... or as they like to call it, their signature “bun-ergy” makes every visit to their store an Instagram-worthy dessert experience. The Bao Buns team love to have fun, and you’ll feel that positivity the moment you walk in. Their friendly banter and playful singing turn even the wait for your bun into fun experience.
