Toronto Underground Market pop up Hot Bunzz opens a new Midtown shop
The latest TUM startup to transform from a popular market one-off to a permanent bricks-and-mortar version, joining other underground market alum Rock Lobster Co., La Carnita, Lisa Marie and Seven Lives, is Chinese bao spot Hot Bunzz. The owner Mark Oliver opened a small shop inside the Urban Bistro at the corner of Yonge and St. Clair today, serving his unconventional takes on the traditional Chinese snack, like Thai basil beef, elk braised in red wine and bison short ribs in bulgogi sauce.
Tried their fare at the TUM – so good! Will definitely be checking them out.
Popped in today to check out prices. It looked like you’re only allowed by buy a combo – there’s no listing for just a bun. I didn’t want a combo. Also, the Hot Bunzz/Urban Bistro layout is bewildering. It seems to have been set up with separate cashiers or something. I left confused. It smelled nice inside.
