Bao in Glasgow City

brilliant wee restaurant/cafe wish I came earlier this will be where I come for a winter warmer brilliant portion full of flavour very reasonable prices. great work everyone 👏

Delicious! Very reasonably priced and lovely staff - highly recommend : )

Consistently good food with great portion sizes! Perfect for lunch

Great, reasonably priced food, especially their lunch deal.

This is probably closer to a 4-star place, but I will gladly round up to a 5! 😊 I had a two-night stop offer in Glasgow. I searched for bubble tea after a meal and Bao popped up and was closest to me. I was disappointed they didn’t have any bubble teas. I decided to have my second meal in an hour and had braised pork ramen (I am not sure why they call it ramen. It was more just noodles). Good portion, good amount of meat, tasted great, and reasonably priced! Love a good noodle soup on a cold rainy day in Scotland! I came back the next day (what can I say? I miss Taiwanese food after a week in Scotland 😂) and had beef ramen and Taiwanese fried chicken. The service can be improved but overall I feel good about this 5-star rating. I won’t hesitate to come here if I am ever in Glasgow again!

I’m surprised this place has a 4-star rating; I had a very bad experience. I ordered delivery: - Vegetable Gyoza: Crispy but completely flavorless—I couldn’t identify a single ingredient. - Potato Katsu Curry: I appreciated that the curry was served separately so you could add it yourself, but the taste was also disappointing. I decided not to add more and just ate the rice with the vegetables and potato. The rice was a bland, inedible paste, the katsu was mushy with a bad taste, and the vegetables were few and completely flavorless. I usually don’t add salt to my food, so I’m extremely surprised that this meal was so tasteless. On the other hand, the takeaway was very well presented, which makes it even harder to understand why the food quality was so poor.

First time I buy from here and it definitely wont be the last - the bao is AMAZING! I had the pork braised bao and it is the best bao I have ever had. Can't wait to be back

Ordered the Chicken Katsu Curry off the lunchtime menu. Really enjoyable for £6.95, I've been a few times and will definitely be back.

Nice staff and gyoza were good but unfortunately really poor bao.

We ordered couple dishes, we got raw chicken (chicken katsu curry) the rest of the dishes wasn’t tasty. Do not recommend, be careful.

Tasty spot for a delicious meal! We enjoyed it at their outdoor seating.

I was looking forward to try some of the Taiwanese food but extremely disappointed, the Taiwanese chicken steak taste nothing like the original Taiwanese chicken if anything I would say the chicken was done in the Special fish butter from the chip shop, no good, it’s disgraceful to even use the Taiwanese on the logo.

Been here today for the first time! Honestly the best Baos i have ever had, highly recommend the braised pork bao. It is really big, comes with cheese and a hash brown inside with a side of salad! And the sauce is amazing too! 10/10. (For the price of a mcdonalds meal you can get a far better, yummier and healthier alternative while supporting the local business!)

Small and cute place. Big and tasty bao.

Stopped in for a bite of dinner. Excellent value for lunch and a snack. Cute little spot and the food was very well cooked but wasn't quite the flavour bomb I expected. Still very nice and good for a quick bite.

Delicious food for reasonable prices. Definitely coming back to try the rest of the menu. We came at lunchtime and it was mobbed with a take out queue round the corner but we were still served very quickly. Fantastic bao and we had the Aagedashi tofu and vegetable tempura which were equally good.

We tried spicy katsu curry bao bun and it was the best buns we ever had.

Got chicken gyoza and katsu bao. Chicken gyoza was average, I've had a lot of tasty gyozas from various establishments, you could not taste the chicken and it was pretty flavourless. As for the bao, there was no katsu flavours at all. It also had a slice of your daily lea style cheese and hash brown??? If I wanted a zinger burger I could have gone to KFC. Sadly this was neither authentic nor tasty. Below average and I'll be giving this a miss next time.

Sweet and spicy chicken is good. My wife like the beef bao and Taiwan fried chicken. Service is good. The staff is so nice even it was a busy time. We will absolutely come back.

The staff did not respect us, said it was nearly closing time …but took order and was hurrying us to order and she dint gave us time at all … we thought of coming there for the dinner to enjoy with our friends and eat … but we all were very upset and angry at the poor service provided …. she just walked of while taking the order (soo disrespectful). While eating she placed the bill which made all of us very angry ….. and the person dint even know basic manners …. Please never visit to this shop 💯 if you dont want to get disrespected by the staff there ….

Very poor service by the staff. Not cool👎👎

A small cafe and takeaway type of place with a few tables. Food cooked fresh with an interesting variety of Taiwanese and other Asian foods. Simple but very tasty.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE BAO, IT IS A MUST STOP FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME IN GLASGOW. I have been a few times now, the Baos are absolutely amazing, fantastic place to start or end the night. Friendly staff and a cosy setting, really couldn't recommend enough, stop reading and go, the prices are very fair too!

Chicken Donburi and Pork Gyoza were fantastic. Fast, super fresh and amazingly flavourful

I’m born and raised in Taiwan and visiting from Los Angeles. This place stacks up for Taiwanese food and is really good. Nice staff too.

Tasty food, kind staff, lovely atmosphere 😊

Lovely staff and vibe, sat in the window people watching whilst tucking into delicious Bao Buns. I had Chicken Teriyaki and my other half had katsu chicken then we both had teriyaki pork (we're on holiday so pigging out, one each would have been plenty!) - all of which were delicious. Highly recommend.

Nothing fancy, but the food is excellent and very reasonably priced, favourite stop for a quick bite.

Found this wee place after the spot I was meant to be going for lunch was closed for refurbishment so hadn’t researched it prior to popping in. Seen their a-frame board outside advertising chicken katsu curry on a special lunch time deal for £6.95 so opted for that. I couldn’t believe I had walked passed this place so many times without getting anything because the katsu curry was hands down the best katsu curry I’ve ever had in my life from any establishment which now confuses me as to why the reviews for this place arnt any better. The seating situation isn’t the best as it’s only a wee place and only has seating for a handful of people which isn’t great during the busy lunch time rush but I managed to get a seat at the window and was content with my newly found lunch spot!

Never in my life I had a Bao bun with hash brown and slice cheese in it. Shocking!

Tried here tonight as fancied Bao buns. We both tried the pork Bao bun which was absolutely 10/10 delicious and the meat just fell apart in a good way. We also shared salt and pepper chips with curry sauce and these were also delicious. Great service, very attentive and fast service. I will most definitely be back.

Nice small place to eat there or take away. Ordered curry and rice. Sufficient quantity. Good taste.

Ordered the wrong food by accident (ordered POTATO katsu curry instead of CHICKEN katsu curry). It was a genuine accident so we called 1 minute later to switch the order. The lady on phone was so rude saying you have to read the order even though we personally told the lady at the restaurant that we are going to order next time. An honest mistake lead us to decide to never order from here again and not support these types of companies/restaurants.

Had takeaway a few weeks ago from here, which was great. On Monday I was early for an appointment in town so popped in here for a sit down lunch. Service was great and my Chicken Katsu the best I’ve tasted. Had the lunch deal so pretty good value for money.

I popped in for a chicken katsu to takeaway in a hurry as I needed to be somewhere and I didn’t regret it. The katsu was SO GOOD. Best flavour I’ve had by far. Plus the way it was served was great for a quick lunch. The girl that greeted me was very accommodating and polite.

Food was pretty nice! I was quite disappointed because my food was extremely cold when it arrived. i would still recommend it though because the prices are extremely reasonable and the food was good

Stopped for a quick lunch. Everything was made fresh and tasted great. The small plates were perfect for lunch. Service was excellent, prompt but not pushy. Will come back again.

Great value for money and food was incredible! Waitress was also very helpful!

We visited Glasgow this week, and ended up going to Boa twice because we loved it. I ordered two tofu baos with chilli and teriyaki sauces- it was incredible. My partner ordered the pork bao and beef bao, which was really tasty however they messed up an order on our second visit. We were served a bun instead of the bao (though it was still tasty). Should we come back to Glasgow, Bao will be our first stop!

I just walked by and found this restaurant. I won’t say it is really authentic but it’s nice enough and I really enjoyed the dumplings. I ordered braised pork rice and you can see the portion of pork is pretty much which is good value.

Fantastic food for a great price right in the centre of Glasgow, I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quick bite - they also have great deals on their lunch menu!

The chicken teriyaki bao buns are great

Service was good. The food was made really fast and tastes good!

The chicken Bao was amazing and lip smacking. Although my fav will still be chicken katsu. The lunch time discount is great but I hope it will be applied to all the menu items and not just katsu. Seating options are comfortable given the small space this eating place is located. But overall the best place to grab quick yummy food near central station.

Easily worst food we’ve had in a long time. Katsu Bao - nothing like katsu, with a big slice of plastic cheese on it. Pork Bao was the same. Egg Fried rice flavourless. Fried chicken looked and tasted like had been cooked in ruskoline. Only thing we finished was the pork gyoza at start which was more a case of being hungry than because they were good (for comparison try them at Silla). Nothing fresh or tasty about any of it. Do yourself a favour keep walking and don’t waste your money.

Why put a hash brown and a slice of plastic cheese in a bao... at least warm people first.

super delish a must try for anybody visiting or in glasgow this was such a good meal, really good value and the staff are lovely!

The food was delicious and the service was great! I would recommend visiting this place when you go to Glasgow.

decent gyoza and delightful katsu curry and portions very big

两个半成品包子为啥能做半小时才拿到餐？配的辣酱也是半成品，无语

Quite bad. The service is ok, the food is terrible. We left half of our meals on the plate and got 50% off on some dishes. But defo not going back.

Popped in on the way home from work for a chicken gyoza ramen. So, so tasty! I love it, this is my new favorite place. Small for sitting in but a good playlist on in the background. Lovely staff too.

Very good sweet and spice chicken as well as Katsu!

Bao Buns and salt and pepper chips were lovely. However, all came with a cheese slice, and this isn't noted anywhere on the menu. As a result one person couldn't eat theres and it went in the bin. Would eat there again, but a menu with more info would be appreciated.

Nice people but terrible food. Like a school dinner version of a bao. Utterly inedible

There is a reason this place is busy at lunch, decent price for a lunch katsu and the right amount to not put you into a food slump in the afternoon! Also quick turnaround for those on their lunch break.

Delighted with the food and sevice. The bao buns were fluffy and filled with tasty saucy portions of meat, particularly the Braised pork was really good. Salt pepper chips were delicious and also enjoyed some prawn tempura with light crispy batter. The place is small and more like a takeaway but it fits about 10 people to sit inside. Reasonable prices and a couple of beer / BYOB options

Been a few times now for lunch. Great stuff but I would like more sauce with the meat/rice dishes, always left with extra rice and no sauce.

Great wee place for a quick lunch or dinner. I had the braised beef rice and it was excellently cooked - very tender and falling apart! The only thing I would say is that the bao bun was absolutely covered in Teriyaki sauce (very generous but perhaps a little too much as the taste was quite overwhelming!) - I really enjoyed the addition of the hash brown to the Teriyaki salmon bao bun, but maybe next time I'd ask for it without the slice of cheese on top. Overall worth checking out for a quick and tasty meal!

In Glasgow for a couple of nights and took myself here for dinner. Hands down the best food I’ve eaten out in years. Massive range of veggie options. The salt and pepper tofu was to die for! I also had the potato katsu curry and veg gyozas, all so full of flavour. My server was fab too. Really reasonably priced too considering how big the portions are! Seriously worth the visit 😍

Bao is one of the best little restaurants in Glasgow. Their buns and noodles were both incredibly well flavoured and the spice was perfect. Their presentation was really great, and the staff were very friendly!

Ordered the lunch katsu to go. Very fast service and reasonably priced.

Overall the food is pretty good. One or two small elements had us scratching our head though, like a slice of processed cheese on a cod bao. Staff were very friendly and place was clean and warm

Delicious food , greatly designed ! Soups are rlly good :)

Great food with vegan options , very small so limited space and they don't serve alcohol so bring your own

Small place, mostly operates as a takeaway. Decent bun but both buns I tried had a hashbrown and slice of cheese on them that overwhelmed the flavor of the bun, pork/chicken, and sauce completely. I would have preferred a slaw as a topping. Good potential though once they get their bao buns right.

Friendly, lovely place and incredible food :)

Randomly came across this place walking about town with my family, absolutely incredible ramen and bao buns will definitely be back.

It’s pretty decent food but there is really a lot of packaging. Loads of plastic.

Change of ownership. Authentic but need some improvements.

Food was delicious, service really quick and friendly. Good advice too on what to order.

First taiwan foods in town,foods nice staff nice,all goods 10/10👍👍

The bbq beef is very nice, and the Bifeng Tang Spicy tofu even no sauce, but the taste is so great, out of my expect! The service is very good too!

it is amazing to try new dish in glasgow centre .hope it is successful to open new venture.
