Absolutely no bad words for this place, great and cold beers, the mulled cider was super flavorful, and the food of course was amazing. The baos were so fluffy and tasty, the loaded fries were a recommendation from someone who had already been and it did not disappoint.

Baos were delicious! We had the pork belly one and it was succulent and soft. The bun was lovely and fluffy. The baby bao fries were only okay. They were a bit greasy. The spicy chicken was also only okay as it was mostly batter. But it was super crispy. We went for lunch on Thursday and it was not full but the music was a bit loud. This is expected because it is a pub. Super friendly service! I will definitely go back for the baos!

These baos are so good, they should be illegal! Complex, balanced, and perfectly prepared. Hands down the best food we had in Brighton!!!

Have eaten here a couple of times now and will definitely be repeating. Tried the shredded chicken, pork & pork balls bao, pickles, smoked tofu houmous & the miso ice cream doughnut- All super super delicious & really well made! Has a kick where it needs to & really addictive

Solid 4 star choice over here! ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I went for a chicken bao and a tofu one, I'd definitely recommend the Mongolian chicken 🍗 option over the tofu! But all in all top place for a quick lunch! 👌🏽

My recent visit to Baby Bao was great culinary adventure! The mushroom bulgogi bun quickly became my favorite, a perfect balance of flavors that left me wanting more. Kimchi fries were a delightful addition to the meal. To top it all off, the outdoor seating area is perfect for soaking up the Brighton sun while enjoying these delectable treats. I highly recommend Baby Bao for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience with Bao buns and a welcoming atmosphere.

We came back here after 3 or 4 years because we remembered how amazing the food was... And it didn't disappoint. So good I could cry. The gochujack mc and cheese balls were delicious. As well as the rest of the meal to be honest.

Let's start with the food. Baby Bao's bao buns are outstanding - soft, fluffy, and packed with flavor. There are several options to choose from, including classic pork belly, crispy chicken, and tofu, and all are served with delicious toppings like pickled veggies and Sriracha mayo. The loaded fries are also a standout - crispy, golden-brown fries smothered in toppings like kimchi, bacon bits, and melted cheese. Even the vegetarian and vegan options are incredibly flavorful and satisfying, making Baby Bao a great spot for anyone, regardless of dietary restrictions. One thing to note is that Baby Bao's menu is quite limited, focusing almost exclusively on bao buns and loaded fries with a couple sides here and there. While this may be disappointing for some, it's important to note that what they do, they do very well. The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable, making Baby Bao a great value for anyone looking for a satisfying, flavorful meal. The atmosphere at Baby Bao is casual and relaxed, with a fun, quirky vibe that fits in perfectly with the Pond pub's overall aesthetic. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the service is quick and efficient. It's worth noting that the pub itself is quite small, so seating can be limited during peak hours (Walk-ins only) . However, this only adds to the cozy, intimate feel of the restaurant, and the delicious food and great beer selection more than make up for any potential inconvenience. Overall, I would highly recommend Baby Bao to anyone looking for a tasty, satisfying meal in a fun, laid-back atmosphere. The bao buns and loaded fries are exceptional, and the range of vegetarian and vegan options is a welcome bonus. Combine that with the Pond's impressive selection of speciality beers, and you have a winning combination that's sure to please.

A bit disappointed after reading all the amazing reviews from previous customers, small bite for me with clearly not well done pork which I have to leave for the rubbish. Pub is great atmosphere.

Un lugar con gran ambiente y comida deliciosa, los baos tienen muy buen sabor, las combinaciones son frescas y muy bien combinadas y las papas están deliciosas. Funciona como los pubs ingleses, si llegas y te sientas nadie te va a atender, tienes que encontrar primero una mesa y después ir a pedir a la barra

Essayé un bao au porc. C'était le premier de ma vie et je n'ai donc pas de point de comparaison... J'ai trouvé ça bon mais c'est pas bien gros... Donc un peu cher compte tenu de son tarif de 7GBP. Total de 12GBP environ avec une bière, elle, excellente.

If I had the unfortunate circumstances of having to chose my last meal on earth, the mushroom bao bun would be it. Hands down. Unbelievably delicious.

Baby Bao at The Pond is one of the best places to eat in the whole of Brighton. Soft and fluffy buns, flavourful fillings and creative sides. Get the loaded house fries, you won’t be disappointed.

Love the food, the Vegan options are delicious. It is difficult to get a table (probably because the food is so good) and the beer's a bit pricey but a really nice place to drink and eat.

Fantastic flavours, small plates. Recently changed to £35/head set menu. Too much for some of us in the group. And made it more pricey than before. Would prefer the option to choose a la carte.

The food was over-salted, to the extent that 2 of us (out of a group of 5) struggled to finish our food. Additionally, something in the kitchen was burning and the restaurant filled with smoke. Service was also slow and patchy. Very surprised by previous reviews.

Very disappointing meal. This restaurant started out very well in 2023-24 but seems to have gone downhill. The service was chaotic, the food second rate with non fresh and cheap ingrediants, the bill was wrong and overall this is a poorly run restaurant. We thought we were going to have a nice meal, but this was a cheap noodle joint with stale sushi. Plus queues of delivery drivers, with bags sitting and waiting for them for longer than seemed to make any qualitative sense. Avoid at all costs.

Me and a group of friends had been walking around for ages trying to find a somewhere to eat and stumbled upon this and so glad we did ! Great coffee ( my husband is a little bit of a coffee snob so it’s a great complement) and the breakfast menu was lovely such variety and great flavour! Staff were lovely and chatty ! If we lived local we’d be back there all the time but will definitely pop back when we visit !
