Sang-Ji Fried Bao

Yorkville, Toronto

Shanghainese pan-fried baos in Yorkville, led by the pork and truffle pork buns.

Why go to Sang-Ji Fried Bao

Sang-Ji Fried Bao serves Shanghainese pan-fried buns, shengjian bao, from a busy shop on Charles Street East in Yorkville. BlogTO explained the method: each order is cooked fresh, the buns frying until the bottoms turn crisp and golden before a lid steams the tops, with pork and gelatinized broth inside like a soup dumpling. The Infatuation recommends the original pork and the truffle pork, poking a hole to let out the steam and dipping in the house vinegar. It was a Top 50 honouree in the Chinese Restaurant Awards' Elite 30 Canada for 2025.
