Bao

Reviews

1. Nathaniel Chew ★★★☆☆

   They do a lunch deal with decent value - bao + side + main. The bao was a highlight, followed by surprisingly good spicy cucumber, then the aubergine which would have been better served hot. The noodles were quite underwhelming - not very flavourful, lukewarm broth, clumpy noodles and not much beef. Lovely service from the folks at marylebone who were very sweet to our dog as well.

   I’ve been keen to try this place for a while after the hype for their 40-day aged steak rice, and being Michelin recommended. Ranking the dishes I tried from best to worst: Classic Braised Pork Bao: best-in-class bao. Juicy and flavorful meat, soft bun - everything you want in a good bao. Could eat 5x of these. Soy glazed aubergine: 4/5. Interesting and unique flavors, but not jumping at you too much. 40-day aged steak rice: 3/5. Satisfying bites, loved the idea behind it. For 15 pounds, very little food though, and the beef was on the chewier side rather than super tender. Taiwanese beef noodle soup: I was surprisingly quite underwhelmed by this soup. Extremely mild, borderline lacking taste, for my taste. The service was good and quick, while confused with the meal deal, which took a few iterations to get it right when paying. Would come back and try more dishes, especially the bao selection, which was by far the best choice.

   Great Taiwanese restaurant, I'd 100% recommend, the bao buns were fresh and fluffy. The mushroom dumplings were amazing. The restaurant is small and snug, so I'd recommend booking in advance, and the servers were lovely and helpful. The size of the dishes is great for sharing, and we spent just under £20 each for a salad, 3 bao buns, fried chicken and 2 drinks between 3 of us.

   I came here to try the Taiwanese Fried Chicken (£20). The presentation was nice and the portion generous, but honestly, it wasn’t as good as the ones I’ve tried before — the flavour was decent but not amazing, and it could’ve been crispier. The place itself has a great vibe though, and I liked the easy ordering system with the pocket waiter. Overall, still a good experience, inpaid around 20 pound.
