About This Dish

About Our Pork Belly Bao

Pork belly is braised slowly until it gives way at the touch of a chopstick, then balanced with crisp pickled vegetables and a house sauce that cuts the richness. The steamed bun keeps everything soft, warm and easy to share.

Order it alongside our Lobster Bao for a two-bun start to the table, or build it into a tapas spread with sushi and grilled specials. Available for dine-in and takeout pickup from 612 Academy Rd in River Heights, Winnipeg.

Restaurant review, Winnipeg

“A fusion of culture, place and a chef’s personal creativity — the menu runs from small tapas right through to more substantial plates, in a room that suits an evening out.”

Birthday dinner thread

“A great budget-friendly pick — amazing tapas at half price on Tuesdays and $10 tapas and sushi at happy hour on other days. Just remember they are closed Mondays.”
