What's not to love?? The bao buns are all made on site so the food is fresh. Flavours are on point. The veggie menu is extensive too which was a plus for us. Sides are well worth ordering as is pudding.
The burger was impeccable, thu burger sauce was divine although the chips was a let down as it was soggy and bland, whilst other burger joint try to make their chips upscale and flavourful the chips in BBB is nothing but a big disappointment. We ordered the chicken wings as side dish and this too was phenomenal. Our mocktails was fine, nothing spectacular it tastes like fruit juice. Over all I am happy hopefully they could improve their chips and their happy hour choices.
I’ve been here twice now and I really enjoyed it both times. My favourite would probably be the pork bao. I love the deco and the panda design everywhere! It’s cool. It is a little pricy for what it is but it’s definitely worth a visit. The sides where not too bad either and I really enjoyed their cocktails. Staff are friendly. No complaints from me! Delicious!
Hidden between a few larger chain restaurants, Bao + Burger + Beer had a more relaxed and independent vibe (I'm not sure if it is or isn't). The variety of beers on offer was extensive, in fact they had craft beers to suit any taste.
We didn't try the Bao but the Burgers (1 meat, 1 vegetarian) were good and the chips very nice. They were quite quiet when we visited so the service was efficient and we appreciated the quiet surroundings after being in the hustle and bustle of the locality.
The newly opened Baby Bao restaurant in Piccadilly serves up a selection of Taiwanese steamed bao buns, sides and a great selection of craft beers and cocktails. The restaurant has a wood finish and an adorable sleepy panda logo on the wall in neon lights! The staff are friendly, helpful and a lot of fun which always makes a difference.
From the steamed bun selection we tried the Roast pork belly with hoisin, peanuts, cucumber, scallion (£6) the Fried chicken with pineapple, gochujang mayo, pickled daikon, coriander (£6) and the Mushroom with sweet n’ sour, miso mayo, crispy shallots, scallion, pickled carrot (£5.50).
All of the buns were seriously great. The mushrooms were chunky, full of flavour and so juicy! The fried chicken was crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside and we loved the flavour combination with the pineapple. The roast pork belly was delicious, well cooked and so satisfying.
From the side dishes we had the Fried squid: served with a radish salad & ssamjang – a fermented soybean and chilli paste. (£7) and the Corn & nori poppers: crispy fried nuggets of corn seasoned with seaweed (£5). The corn poppers were crispy on the outside and goey on the inside. The fried squid was cooked perfectly and the ssamjang packed a punch.
They also offer some Gluten Free lettuce wraps so I tried the Grilled Tofu: with hoisin, peanuts, cucumber, scallion (£5). The tofu didn’t work for me – it was a bit dry and very smoked but perhaps that is personal preference.
Baby Bao is a fantastic restaurant in Piccadilly offering delicious bao buns at reasonable prices. We would recommend them all – they were good delicious.
