About Gongfu...

At Gongfu, Ottawa’s kickass little bao cart shop, we serve handcrafted steamed buns (bao) & a whole lot more. Chinese & Taiwanese culinary traditions are at the heart of how we craft our bao. The creativity & utility of street food inspire our playful Gongfu creations as well as our renditions of the classics. We are dedicated to fair employment practices & responsible sourcing of our ingredients. Come in for a quick meal, or grab fresh bao to-go from our take-out window.

"Happy 100th Birthday Gramma Emily Wood! As a kid, I got to do a lot of baking and cooking with my Gramma. Each Sunday morning she got up exta early to make her famous buns or biscuits which would be served after the service at her church, just across the street. I learned by watching and "helping" her with this; she also encouraged me to try new recipes from the many cookbooks and recipe cards she had in her house. I use what I learned from her every day at Gōngfu as I make the bao and while working on developing our recipes." Emily (Gongfu co-owner & BunsMaster)
For each food item you buy from us today (Jan16, 2019), Gongfu will donate $1 to the Unist'ot'en Legal Fund. Thank you for helping us support this important cause!!! #unistoten #timeisnow

*CLOSED JANUARY 8th* We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause you today, but we have decided to shut off the gas & close for lunch service today, January 8th in recognition of the International Day of Action in Solidarity with Wet’suwet’en. We will resume our regular operating hours tomorrow, January 9th at 11:30am. Join us at noon at the front gate of Parliament Hill (on unceded unsurrendered Algonquin territory) to protest the RCMP’s violations of United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples(UNDRIP), & the Federal Government’s violation of it’s own mandate of Reconciliation. Look for a 10-foot banner that reads "RCMP out of Wet’suwet’en territory"! Thank you in advance for your understanding & ongoing support, Chef/Owner Tarek Hassan & the rest of the Gongfu Ownership/Management Team “The Wet’suwet’en have laid out a path toward the implementation of UNDRIP, and the Free, Prior, and Informed Consent requirement of international law. Canada has chosen to ignore this path toward reconciliation. We call on all people of conscience to act in solidarity through an international day of action on Tuesday, January 8th, 2019.”- Gidimt'em Access Point

Our first delivery of @revelcider has arrived rounding out our craft drinks selection! Now you can wash down your bao with this wicked cider, a fine brew from @dominioncity @beausallnatural @nitabeerco, or one of our house sodas spiked with a shot of @tsdistillers gin or 100proof moonshine!!! 🍻
