Baby Bao in Brighton and Hove

Haven't been for a while but these buns are still at another level x

Doesn't exist anymore....it is a pub though that serves bao's

Lovely bao in a relaxed setting, friendly service. Looking forward to trying the rest of the menu!

Excellent food, excellent beer, excellent venue. Highly recommend.

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!

Great place. Modern food with awesome taste.

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 friends weren’t lying; great bao, awesome fries!

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.

Amazing food, friendly staff. Didn't get a chance to try the beers but a good selection.

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

Delicious food, lots of vegetarian options, brilliant atmosphere and great service! Had the tofu starter, the vegan prawn bao and more. All recommended!

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.

Gorgeousness ❤️ everything we picked on menu

3 items of pure deliciousness, we went for panko squash and the mushroom one , and some fries, , the Bao's are around £7 each and are much larger then ones we have had elseware , to top it off the pub itself is great with loads of great beers and lovely staff , we went for a cider been a sunny day and they are dog friendly too

had an excellent meal! the food incredible and the people who work thereare absolutely lovely! ended up forgetting my sunglasses but one of the girls noticed and managed to get them back to me before I'd even noticed! I really appreciate how they went above and beyond for us! :)

Amazing bao buns and the kimchee chips wow! Highly recommended the pork belly bao bun

Great bao buns. Will definitely come back again

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.

Amazing flavours, quality ingredients, highly recommended!

Great food- love Bao! and friendly staff.

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.
