Bao
(Soho Branch)

Came recommended by others. 450m walk from Piccadilly Circus

 
 


Bao is a trendy/hipsterish Taiwanese bistro that has a modern take on fresh Baos using in house wheat flour and a tangzhong starter. The interior is small and has a nice Japanese feel to it.


The recommended order size is two Baos and probably one or two sides per person. There is a Lunch set menu going for £15. A discretionary service charge of 12.5% is automatically applied to each bill on check out.
Free wifi on site, tap water and a clean toilet facility.
Ordered on
01Dec2017
Classic £4.50
Braised pork, peanut powder, fermented greens, coriander
 
*A twist on the classic pork and bun. The use of sugar peanut powder was nice textually and the pickled vegetables often had with Gui Chap/Teo Chew Porridge added that sharpness to balance out the pork. A very slight twist on a classic.*
Fried chicke
n £5.0
Soy Milk Marinated chicken, Sichuan Mayo, Golden Kimchi, Coriander, Sesame Bao
 *Really loved this dish. Using pickled Kimchi was smart to balance the flavors with the crispy fried chicken and they all worked well together. Its a little bit spicy but a really good flavor combination*
 Yalkut Float £5.50Fermanted Pineapple, Soda, Yakult Float
*Am not one for mixers usually, but the 'sourness' from the Yakult with a dash of salt played off the sweet pineapple for a refreshing drink.*
Total £16.88 fed 1

The place fills up incredibly fast. 5mins Before doors open on a Friday at 12pm, there's about 6 people in the queue. By 12.25pm the place was almost near capacity. Seating space is limited, but the Japanish cozy diner does add to the atmosphere. Go early and get a seat fast.

I'd return to try their other Baos which go more as sliders than full on burgers. The place also has sides which I didn't get a chance to try but, the Aged Beef Rump and the Peanut milk that were being served out looked like great order options as well. Asian dishes with a twist.
Flat Iron, for flank steak is located nearby.
