I don’t\u00a0find Gyoza Bar’s Dineout Vancouver ($18.50) deal very special – their regular Ramen and Gyoza combo on their regular menu is $18.50 too, and they have just simply replaced Ramen with Bao Sandwich for Dineout, and added\u00a0an extra small desert. It was my first time trying their Bao Sandwiches and I was not too crazy about them. A Bao in Chinese cuisine is a bun with filling sealed inside the dough. So when they use 2 pieces of chinese style steamed bun for the sandwich, it is more like a Rou Jia Mo<\/a>, than a Bao. So calling this sandwich a Bao is a bit of a stretch. I have become less crazy about the Chinese-style steamed buns over the years because I have found their texture is too boring, and they taste too sugary as they are made from refined wheat flour.<\/p>\n

The pulled pork in Pulled Pork Bao Sandwich<\/strong> tastes okay but I just can’t get over how much it looks like canned tuna. And I think if they replace the American-style pickle with Chinese pickled cabbage, it might become more interesting and the taste could\u00a0be elevated\u00a0more.<\/p>\n

Chicken Karaage Bao Sandwich<\/strong> tastes better in my opinion in thanks to the perfectly fried Chicken Karaage. Although there could be slightly more seasoning on the breading.<\/p>\n

And their Pork Gyoza<\/strong> today was quite oily.<\/p>\n

I enjoyed Strawberry Ice Cream and Red Bean Mochi<\/strong> as the Dineout Menu dessert despite its tiny size. Maybe they should consider putting it on the regular menu.<\/p>\n

Overall, I find their Dineout Menu a small disappointment as they try to promote their Bao Sandwich. But I think the concept of the sandwich is confusing.<\/p>\n
