The Annex Food Hall

Stumbled across Mean Bao in the Annex Food Hall which has 6 restaurant choices, a beautiful bar with a wide range of local craft beer and a super friendly manager, and a touch of nostalgia with photos of old Toronto. I tried the Baos and the shrimp dumplings at Mean Bao. Both items were delicious.

Good selection of restaurants and beer. I like how there is comfort of food court and selection of various types of food but yet in more upscale yet relax atmosphere. Its a good place for a beer and bite with friends!

Went in to get come craft beer. Decent selection and the person behind the bar was a delight.

Two locations within the store were closed. Our group tied one of each remaining location. Each store was fantastic. I loved the lamb roganjosh. Large size, $11 for lunch size combo. Beer options were the wide with a great helpful bartender. That part was what raised the level of this restaurant

Ordered the pork, jerk chicken and vegan bao. Vegan and Pork was very good. The jerk flavours did not mesh well in bao format. Very pricey for what it is. Overall, pretty good wouldn’t go out of my way to come here but would definitely grab a new bao to try every time I pass by.

Great place! Especially PG Clucks’s fried chickens, also the prices are reasonable for the amount they give you!

The new SUPERFRESH Market is a great Annex addition. Incredible fresh food To Go seating will not doubt return post-Covid and the new Craft Beer Shop carries a rather stellar Ontario brew selection. Met some of the ownership and can feel good that shopping here supports local, decent people.
