Best sang-ji in Toronto Atmosphere: The restaurant is very small, almost just a hole-in-the-wall with a row of counter stools and a few small tables. It is a very casual atmosphere and you order of your phone by scanning a QR code at the table. The food is prepared fresh in the kitchen at the back, and brought to your table. The menu is also written on a chalkboard near the cash register. Food: The sang-ji bao is likely the best I've had in Toronto (that's still open). The bottoms are nice and crispy, and the tops are very thin and delicate. The pork texture is very soft and tender, and it's filled with soup. This is the unleavened type of sang-ji, and is made very well. The dry noodle with meat sauce and peppercorn oil was okay, with nice and chewy pork and enough peppercorn oil to feel the numbing sensation. The savoury soy milk was delicious, with nice crispy dough fritter and the use of laver seaweed brings a nice aroma to the dish. Everything was well done, even though we arrived close to closing time. Service: The team was friendly and were quick with their service, bringing water, napkins and utensils as we were seated. Everything was cooked relatively quickly as well, which was impressive. Might drop by to try their other Shanghainese dishes when we're in the area or when craving sang-ji again. read more

They had a winter special meal for 2 for $35. Its was a nice meal with variety. The sangji-bao was amazing, which is their signature dish. The potato salad and mochi dessert was yummy. The duck noodle and tofu was ok. There was a lot of food we couldnt finish. So we packed it home. I would definitely come back for the sangji-bao again. If you pay cash you get 10% off your bill.

The service is quick and prompt, there is lots of seating as well. You can watch the kitchen staff work if you sit by the bar seats. We got the truffle bao and the original pork! It's good to rotate the two flavours. The wontons aren't too big, but it has a good bite. I forgot to take a picture of the wontons; it does not come with noodles! The restaurant is clean and every table comes with utensils and water to serve yourself. read more

I came here on a weekday evening for dinner and the place was busy. Luckily, we did not have to wait for a table and were seated right away. The service was good and the food came out fast. We got their Wednesday special which was around $40 after tax, and included: fish noodle soup, sang-ji bao, potato salad, coleslaw salad, brown sugar mochi and two drinks. This was the perfect amount for two people. Everything was so good! My favourite was the fish soup noodle. It's loaded with fish and calamari. The broth was hearty, the right amount of fishy-ness with a blend of pepper. It was topped off with a few pieces of bamboo shoots. My second favourite was surprisingly the potato salad. I don't think I saw this on their actual menu but I would easily order this again if I could. It was a perfect blend of potato, onions, carrots, ham. Couldn't figure out the seasoning they used but it was delicious and creamy! The sang-ji bao were really crispy on the outside, and juicy on the inside. The coleslaw salad was a good balance to the meal. The fried brown sugar mochi came in portions of three and even though we ate this at the end, they were still really crispy and oozed with melted brown sugar. I got a cold and hot sweetened soy milk which was average, I probably would go with another drink next time. They only take cash or debit. Overall, we left full and happy. I highly recommend and I will definitely come back! read more

Finally got to try this spot and it did not disappoint! Ordered the original, shrimp, and the truffle one. The outside bun was very cripsy, inside had a lot of stuffing, and it was very savoury. There was a lot of juice too so it made it me like it even more! The service was quick and the price was very decent too! The restaurant is pretty small so bigger groups of 6 or more would be tougher to seat; but the wait was not too long. Fantastic spot for a quick meal or snack! Would come back to eat it again! read more

I have been wanting to try this place for years, heard great things about it. Ordered the original and the shrimp fried bao. Honestly, was not impressed. The quality of the meat is subpar , the taste was nothing impressive. The price is expensive for 4 pieces of bao. Glad I got to try it. There is lots of seating area. They accept cash or debit only. Paid parking is available on the street. read more

I've been to this place many times and it's been amazing every single visit. It's also something you can't get at other places. It's piping hot so you need to poke a hole and cool it down but the meat and juice inside the bao is amazing.

I would skip the Truffle Fried Bao as it didn't really elevate the experience. The service is fine. read more

For sure can't compare with very OG style in china, but still very juicy and tasty all in all. Like the original pork juicy sang ji bao, the bottom of the bread so crispy! Love it!

My God, if these aren't the most GOATed sang jin baos in Toronto. I've been here SOO many times I've lost count. The baos are great as a snack or as a meal. I'll be walking up and down Yonge St at night or during the day and all of a sudden feel the random urge to grab some baos just passing by. The outside dough is thin and crispy. They're absolutely packed with tons of soup. And the meat is so plump. They recently added the truffle pork bao as a new flavour and it's instantly become my favourite (my gf still prefers the original pork baos)! This location is always packed and chances are you'll have to leave your name and number down for when a table opens up if you visit during peak times. I wish they had more seating or opened up a bigger location in Richmond Hill or Markham. Geez I'd prolly ask for a VIP card at that point LOL. Service is quick, efficient and polite. You walk up to the register to pay. The menu is written on the wall and every night, usually by closing time, all the baos will be sold out. They even post a sign on the outside of the entrance telling ppl they've run out. I don't think I've ever felt tempted to try any of the other items on the menu outside of the baos. read more

Be prepared to wait unless the stars are aligned for you. Extremely loud atmosphere, many people also waiting by cashier for their take out order Ordered bite size wonton soup w/spinach. Broth with pickled vegs had great Unami flavor profile, small wontons firm and dense Fried noodles with scallion oil . Noodles firm and chewy. Oil sinks to the bottom of the bowl so passionately mix noodles in bowl to get the full flavorful scallion essence. Star of the show were the Sangjian baos. Crispy skin with meat/soup filling. Extremely hot, watch out for squirting hot liquid if you bite incorrectly. Great value for your money, good variety of palate pleasing flavors. read more

Location/Service This place is located a little north of where the old (now closed) location used to be - just a little north. Street parking is available and probably around the block, just note sometimes paid parking is required. The place is now a restaurant setup - with much more seating available. Interior decor is pretty standard - I do feel it lost the wooden olden touch it used to have. Staff were quick with their orders as usual and generally nice. Food Food wise it's pretty much the same choices. They did add 1-2 extra items, but I stuck with the basics as I was curious to see if it was still as good. And indeed it was! The sang ji bao was perfect - with a crisp, slightly burnt bottom and a soft soupy bun. So flavourful and hearty. Their dry noodle with scallion oil and peanut was also as consistent - good sharable size and quantity. Glad to know the have expanded the space to make more dine in accommodations. They still do the staple takeout setup, so it's perfect for people swinging by. read more

I've been meaning to visit Sang-ji for awhile now and finally got a chance to go. There was a bit of a wait even for a Sunday afternoon (non lunch time). Wait was fairly quick since service and turnover is quite fast. Still got called back quickly even with a party of 5. The space isn't the biggest but still has a good amount of seating. You can watch the baos being made, which is a nice bonus to the experience. Ended up sharing an order of the Sang-ji bao and the dry noodles with scallion oil and peanuts. The Sang-ji bao was fried perfectly with a perfect amount of soup inside. the dry noodles were done well, with good sauce distribution and flavour. Overall great experience. read more

Great place for fried buns. It's full of soup and if you don't follow the instructions on how to eat it, you might end up with burning soup all over your face. They added a truffle flavour in addition to their regular and curry options, and it's also very good. Place is always packed during peak lunch and dinner time. They'll take your name and number down and call you when a table opens up. read more

Original sangji fried bao - 10/10 the dough is thin and crispy filling and juice is perfect. Curry sang ji fried bao - 7.5/10 same dough as original (delicious) curry flavour filling was meh, and for an additional $1.6 not worth it in my opinion read more

Sang-Ji Fried Bao - Curry & Original Sang ji fried bao - Chinese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

This is a really quaint, tightly packed, fast paced restaurant great for quick meals reminiscent of Asian street food/night life. We were super excited to try the food as it always looked packed from the outside. We ordered the regular Pork Sang Ji Bao, Wonton Soup, and Scallion Oil Dry Noodle. The Pork Sang Ji is amazing; crispy bottom, slightly chewy skin, juicy meat filling, and succulent soup filling. The worst part about the dish is that it only comes in a plate of 4. There are even small graphics around the restaurant detailing tips on how to consume. The Wonton Soup comes with more wontons than we had expected and were also really delicious. The broth was light and was a great palate cleanser. The Scallion Oil Noodles had a nice texture and a subtle flavour. I think the dish could benefit with a bit of some kind of protein, but still tasty nonetheless. They also offer a 10% cash discount. The standout dish for us was in the restaurant's namesake; the Sang Ji Bao. Shortly after we ordered (on a Sunday at 7pm) the Sang Ji Baos were sold out, attesting to it's popularity. Highly recommend trying this spot out and we'll definitely be back! read more

Sang-Ji Fried Bao in Yonge and Finch have always been my favorite. Even though the quality of their other snacks is mediocre, the fried bao alone are incredibly enticing and worth going back for. I haven't had such delicious fried bao even when I was in Hong Kong. The fried bao are filled with a generous amount of juicy meat, and the skin is not too thick. I highly recommend everyone to give them a try, as they are definitely worth tasting again and again. 生煎包始終都係我喺yonge and finch最鍾意食嘅餐廳。即使佢其他小食嘅quality都麻麻地，但係淨係生煎包呢一個dish已經好吸引，值得我成日都返去幫襯佢哋。我以前喺香港都未食過咁好食嘅生煎包。生煎包嘅肉汁非常多，而且皮唔厚。絕對值得大家一試再試。 read more

Note: This place only takes cash, debit & etransfer. NO CREDIT CARDS. Food here is delicious & cheap. The menu isn't very large. But what they do, they do it well. My friend & I got the pork bao, dry noodles & wonton soup (bite size spinach & shiitake). We split the bill 50-50 & paid $17 each. We couldn't even finish all the food. So my friend took some of it home to her husband. The dining area isn't very big. I think the whole place only seats 30 people. But the food gets served quickly & since they don't have dessert people don't usually linger over their meals. Decor-wise it's pretty basic with white walls & floors. Tables & chairs are wood tone. Plates & bowls are white. Chopsticks are black plastic. Waitstaff are no frills but they are friendly enough & very efficient. I like that there's a glass wall where you can watch the cook staff making the wontons & bao around a big table. At the back left of the restaurant is where you go pay for your meal. Beside the cashier there's a blackboard with the menu. But there is also a QR code on the table where you can scan the menu. I've been here twice & food has been consistently good each time. Note with the pork bao there is a hot broth inside it. So don't just pop it into your mouth & chew you're likely to burn your tongue! Let the bao cool for a bit then poke a hole in the top to sip the broth & chew the rest of the bao. read more

Drove pass Sang-Ji Fried Bao the other day and realized it has moved to a NEW location (probably old news to many lol). It used to be this small little shop on Byng, and now it has flourished to a big shop on Yonge Street with ample seating! Since day one, their menu isn't crazy big to begin with. We are all so in loved with the Signature Sang-Ji Bao, which is their pan fried soup bun with a brown crispy bottom!! And now, they have added many NEW items on the menu, and they are all #sheepieapproved We have ordered takeout and really enjoyed: * Signature Sang-Ji Fried Bao * Bite size Wonton Soup * Fried Pork Short Ribs (very crispy) * Dry Noodle mixed w/ Scallion Oil & Peanuts * Duck Soup w/ Vermicelli * Sweet Soy Milk read more

I love soup dumplings so I'm so glad Sang-Ji is nearby. They just opened a bigger store with tables for dine in. The curry baos are a new addition to their small menu (and I pretty much tried almost all their items). For this visit I tried the curry bao and got an order of the original bao. 1) Curry Bao I found the curry taste to be quite strong so if you're not used to it, brace yourself. I did find it a bit too strong in my opinion even though I like curry myself. The bao itself is still good but I don't think I'll come back for the curry. 2) Original Bao This is probably my fifth time getting original bao so yes, I do like it. Their menu is growing so I would definitely come back and try new dishes once they add more. I enjoyed the dry noodles that I had before as well! read more

Sang-Ji Fried Bao moved from Byng Ave to this new Yonge location. Much more spacious and comfortable seatings. You can access the menu from the QR code or it is on the chalk board. There are new items such as the curry Sang-Ji Fried Bao, fried short ribs, and the duck with vermicelli. The curry Sang Ji fried bao is definitely a nice addition to the menu, light curry mixed with beef and pork, very flavourful. I am not a huge fan of tasting the pork taste and this curry just hit the spot and doesn't overpower it. The duck with vermicelli have shredded duck, some tofu puff and some pig blood curd. Overall, I liked the soup base and the shredded duck. Nice expanses menu and glad for the new move for them with more seatings! Will definitely come back. read more

This was my second time eating here, but the first time at this new location. This small restaurant has a modern feeling to it and more seating so you can actually eat in and enjoy your baos while they're hot! I came here mid-afternoon and it was busy! We were lucky to get seats. Most of the tables were already full but we did manage to sit at the long table near the front of the restaurant. A neat feature is you can actually watch the baos being made through the plexiglass. Today, I ordered the curry sang ji bao which was $8.50 for four pieces. It was so yummy. There is a good amount of soup in that bao so you have to be careful when you eat it as it's really hot. Also, there is a good amount of meat in the bao, so you will feel pretty full after eating four of them. The curry baos are really yummy but I have to say that I do prefer the original ones. This place is great and I hope they open up a new location that is closer to my home. read more

This is my second time coming to this restaurant and both times the food was very good. I like their dry noodles and duck vermicelli soup noodles but for sure the standout dish is the Sang-Ji Bao. This is such a great dish and is a great reason to eat here. The Sheng Jin Bao is really awesome and super juicy. The inside is very flavorful with lots of soup. And the bottom half is very crunchy. I actually like Sheng Jin Bao better than XLB now after eating here! read more

First time here after my mother craved for sang-jian bao. It was a full house even on a weekday afternoon! We stood there for a good while before someone gave us attention and pointed us to a table. There weren't many selections to choose from, but really, if you are here for the fried bao, you don't need any other selections. We ordered their only options provided for their fried bao- original and curry beef. Both baos were served steamingly hot and juicy. It has instructions around to teach you the proper way of eating this yummy bao without getting burned. The size of each bao was large, therefore HIGHLY recommended following their guide on "how to eat" to avoid splattering all the juices everywhere. The meat in each bao was a little ity bit smaller than we imagined but all the juices were locked in that small little thing. The curry flavour really lived up to its name. However, we both preferred the original flavor. Overall, definitely worth the price, given the location of the restaurant- Yonge/ Finch area. read more

TLDR: the bao was juicy and it has a lot of meat. They bun itself is chewy and perfectly tucked. It's best to eat in a sit down restaurant compared to take out They moved from Byng Ave. to Yonge Street for a bigger location! This is really better location because it's more visible. It's just few steps from the original location We bought 2 baos. One serving has 4 pieces. And each piece has a generous amount of meat. The juice and the meat are carefully tucked inside the bun! Just a tip, in case you're doing a take out or order it through uber, make sure you heat them properly. And eat them warm :) read more

NOTE: Bring cash, as they do not accept credit. Overall: Delicious, fresh, and authentic fried bao, dry noodles, and wonton soup! Do not expect a lot of service - this is common with asian restos and the food is worth it. We went up to the cash register to flag a waiter and to pay. Many positive reviews have already echo'd what I want to say. The bao are fresh and crispy on the outside, with tasty soup and meat on the inside. They have a little guide that teaches you how to eat the bao properly too. :) The dry noodles were also delicious. Loved the savoury oil and onion(?) toppings they used with it. Thought it would be a bit dry but it was a great pairing with the bao and wonton soup. The wonton soup was also delicious. Standard fare; tasty. I would definitely eat here again! read more
