Reviews
Interior of this place never disappoints, small but very cute. It is pricey but the food is filling and delicious. Very surprised with the aubergine, thought it wouldn’t be that nice but absolutely loved the flavours. Service is quick and very helpful from when you come in and when you leave too. Beautiful staff
The lunch set is a nice way to sample 3 different dishes. I liked the pickled and grilled mushrooms. It was perfect if you don’t want something heavy. It had a nice sweet and slightly pickled flavor which paired well with the smokiness from the grill. The confit pork bao was a bit dry and it was lacking flavor. I was expecting rich pork flavors but it was subtle and there wasn’t too much sauce on top. The rice bowl had simple flavors as well.
Tiny but very nice. Our waitress could not be nicer Jade?. Thanks to her for her kindness. We ordered two daily menus. Amount of food was not awesome but we did not finish lunch being hungry. I'ld go back. I'ld suggest to improve the bathroom but considering the little space you have I guess it's impossible.Food: 5/5
Tight quarters but quick service. Nice server in middle for conversation if you’re willing. Food came out very fast. Bao buns were delicious and the drink selection was great. Would come backFood: 5/5
Very cute place! Great staff that were friendly & attentive. Food was delicious we tried a number of items! The serving sizes are on the smaller side but perfect as this allows you to order a few things to share along side the baos.Food: 5/5
I’ve been wanting to try this place for so long and finally did it during my trip. I really enjoyed the food here, not only everything I ordered tasted delicious, it also reminds me home. My fav was the beef soup, scallop, sliced beef and rice bowl.Food: 5/5
The service was exceptional—staff were friendly, efficient, and made us feel very welcome. The food was fantastic, living up to the high expectations set by its reputation. Each dish was a flavorful adventure, particularly the signature baos, which were perfectly balanced in taste and texture. However, the dining space is quite confined, which can make it feel a bit cramped, especially during peak hours. Additionally, it was quite hot inside, which detracted somewhat from the overall comfort. Despite these minor inconveniences, the prices are very reasonable for the quality of food and service you receive. In summary, Bao offers excellent food and great service at good prices, but the limited space and heat inside are areas that could use some improvement.
Came here for a post-work dinner with a friend. I booked ahead knowing from the pictures how small this place was. We arrived at 17:30 in the evening and unfortunately there were no tables available so we sat at the counter facing the bar. As I learned later on, it wasn't ideal being right next to a sink as water from the sink often splashed up onto us. However, moving on from that we ordered our drinks both cocktails, I had the sake beer and my companion the sweet potato gin. Both were excellently prepared. Tap water was requested and provided as a bottle with two glasses for us to fill. As we were ordering before 6pm, we managed to take advantage of the £15 set menu which was a side, bao bun and rice bowl. The choices weren't great but what was there was enough for us to go for it. Bao wise we got a Classic and Fried Chicken, for the sides we got the mushroom and fried chicken and both rice bowls which were aubergine and guinea fowl. The bao's were excellent as you can expect, especially the buns themselves, they were fluffy warm and soft holding their fillings perfectly. The fillings themselves were great and went down very easily! I could've had many more. The sides were good, but nothing amazing. Fried chicken wasn't winning any awards and the mushrooms were made better with the small pieces of pickled shitake mushrooms which massively elevated the dish. The rice bowls were ok, the guinea fowl was probably lost on me as it just tasted like gamey rice with a hint of richness from the egg yolk. I personally preferred the aubergine rice more but again, nothing crazy and there were no particular flavours shouting out. I decided to order the weeping Sake which was smooth dry and delicious and we got a couple of more buns, one classic and one braised shortrib. No complaints on those, both delicious as you would expect from a place named 'Bao' Overall a good place to get tasty and authentic bao buns but not somewhere I'd visit again as all the other dishes seem a bit pointless to me. Just do more bao buns please!! Also due to the quick turnaround at this place it did feel quite rushed and the food was coming out too quickly would you believe! Yes, there is such a thing as food arriving at the table too quickly!
As a Taiwanese, I heard that this restaurant has authentic Taiwanese food so I went here with my Peruvian friend. We tried a menu set of classic Bao, Taiwanese fried chicken and Guinea fowl rice and they’re so good! I was surprised at how good the fried chicken is since this is not a specialised fried chicken shop. The atmosphere is great and the food is so delicious despite a bit expensive. Overall I highly recommend!
Sitting here writing my review before I leave. Every single member of staff provided a wonderful level of customer service, which was met by an equally wonderful level of food. Well done! Fantastic experience!!!Food: 5/5
