Bao & Bap in Liverpool

Absolutely brilliant restaurant - a real hidden gem! Love the chilled out vibe, relaxed place, really friendly and welcoming staff but the best bit - the food - is unbelievably good - Asian comfort food for sure :) Have been telling everyone I know - try it, you won't regret it!

3 of us had Korean bibimbap which was served barely warm. We were asked how the meal was by the male waiter - I responded explaining the food was cold but bizarrely he didn’t comment or react in anyway, just ignored. Not sure what the point of asking us how the meal was. The Hong Kong noodle soup on the specials board was served hot and well received by one of us. Unfortunately, even with the 20% discount the food was poor and below standard. It was a shame the waiter didn’t react to our feedback. Won’t be going again because of this.

The shredded crispy chicken was really tasty and full of flavour. Great portion sizes, just the right amount of food for an evening meal. The staff were really friendly and shared helpful menu recommendations

This is hands down my favourite restaurant EVER! I have come here pretty much every month since living in Liverpool and the food has always been incredible. I bring my family and friends here and the food is so perfect every time. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, too. I cannot recommend this place enough, definitely an underrated diamond in Liverpool ❤️

Ordered the Laksa chicken noodle. It was very tasty 😋 comes with a lot of mixed vegetables including roasted potato and the chicken. I got vermicelli noodles they went well with the soup, might try the fresh ones next time.

Amazing meal and super sweet service! Highly recommend!!!

Excellent food & service. Would recommend if you want good food and a casual location. Spicy chicken starter was my favourite!

Great venue with a wide range of Asian food at a reasonable price. I regularly eat here with friends and family as the food is delicious and the staff are always really friendly, welcoming and helpful. There are plenty of vegetarian and vegan options - I usually go for the crispy tofu bibimbap but the veggie spring rolls, bao buns and gyoza are delicious. There is a mix of Japanese, Chinese and Korean-style food on the menu and there is also a small drinks menu too. The food preparation is very speedy and you can also get takeaway too. One of my favourite places to eat in Liverpool!

Lovely, quaint Asian restaurant. Food was beautiful and very reasonably priced. If you like Asian food you can't go wrong with Bao&Bap

The food, service were perfect. Price is good too.😶

A friend of mine found this place while googling places to eat around Liverpool. From the menu, it looked like a mix of Chinese, Korean and Japanese food available. So we decided to give it a try. It is a small and quaint place which was not easy to find at first. It is pretty cozy and just a tad away from the busy Bold Street. The food were pretty good, service was quite fast and the staff was friendly. We ordered Pan Fried dumplings (didn't take the photo sorry), Crispy Salt & Pepper Tofu, also Korean Sweet Spicy Chicken Wings for sharing appetisers. They are taste good, though I think what arrived was the salt & pepper chicken wings. But not giving too much fuss about it. The Bibimbap however was quite different from the Bibimbap I had before in other places. I wouldn't say it's bad, just different. The mango sticky rice was good.

Lovely food and amazing staff:))) will definitely be back soon

We absolutely love this restaurant, a real hidden gem. The noodle soup w fresh noodles is one of the best I’ve ever had. The food is fantastic value and has a great array of veggie options too.

A small and quirky restaurant. Well worth a visit. Delicious food. Fabulous service. We will be back!

After countless of visiting and ordering my favorite dish. No need to say, that this place is fantastic, atmosphere are amazing. Filled with different style. Owner and staff are super friendly, we talk a lot and super chill, we also laugh a lot in some sort of jokes I recommend the salty tofu and some HK style dishes. You do need booking if it's more than 3+ people, but no need to say, it's worth of visiting.

10/10 food. My favourite place to go in Liverpool. Friendly staff and a bubbly/cosy atmosphere. Would definitely recommend

Really good food,very friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. Definitely eat here again.

Excellent and delicious. Relaxed and friendly.

Delicious fresh homemade food. Great for vegetarian or vegan too! Highly recommended

Beautiful food and excellent service

First visit to Bao&Bap. We had spring rolls, spicy chicken wings, bibimbap, beef rice and Malaysian curry/laksa. It was delicious, good value for money and will recommend!

Was excited to try but left disappointed. Had noodles that tasted like spaghetti with a tangy marinara sauce, bun was just alright, dumplings nothing to call home about. Everything kind of underwhelming. Service was efficient and polite.

Called in for a Saturday night prior to the theatre. The service was phenomenal and the food was even better. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Brilliant, food was great and the staff were excellent

We came on a Saturday evening before a concert, and really wanted it to be excellent given all the great reviews. We would've liked to order the buns from the restaurant name, but were told these were sold out for the week [sold out by Saturday, schoolgirl error that perhaps!] We then ordered chicken wings, which were actually very good, fried pork dumplings with a watery soy sauce that were somewhat underwhelming and followed this with a rice bowl and prawn noodle soup, both of which were really average unfortunately. Whilst the staff were lovely, once you throw in 2 bottles of beer, the £47 rather left us feeling short changed... Not for us

Bao and Bap is always my to-go restaurant when thinking of Asian food. I always come here after work for good food with my colleagues. I recommend salt and pepper crispy tofu for starters. The tofu is perfectly fried with salt and pepper as a seasoning, nothing to say much, it’s just perfect on its own. For the main, I always go for Beef brisket (spicy) noodle, always go for hand-made noodle. The beef is so tender, no need to chew 😄. The soup is yummy, it’s just about right for me and not too spicy nor salty. Another main to recommend is Spicy pork rib with rice; the rib is so tender and their sauce is so good. When you eat with rice, it’s just perfect. Recommended 😄

I came here with my bf after walking past a few weeks ago, the food was hot and fresh and tasted amazing. We only had several small plates, but they were filling and came out of the kitchen quickly.

Lovely little restaurant. Friendly staff and nice food at a sensible price. Out of the way from the hustle and bustle. Don’t be put off by the small nature of restaurant - food is great.

Fantastic little business. In city for conference and found a little gem. Food was as good as we’ve found anywhere. Braised pork belly pocket bun was sensational. Staff a delight.

Genuinely my favourite place to go for dinner. The food is so good and at such a good price. I cannot recommend this place enough!!

Stumbled across this gem tonight... delicious, steaming hot food served quickly by lovely people and very reasonably priced... impossible to fault even if I wanted to... Will double deffo be back.... thank you for a super surprise dinner treat!

I grew up in Asia and have struggled to find authentic Asian comfort food- THIS is the place to go for the good stuff!! Be sure to make a reservation in advance!

Great little restaurant with pan-Asian food. Nice selection and authentic as in Asia. Very friendly staff. We will be back soon.

This discreet gem of a restaurant beckons you with enticing, aromatic wafts that extend a warm invitation right from the bustling street. Reservations are highly recommended due to the limited seating, a testament to the popularity of this hidden culinary haven. Stepping inside, the ambiance greets you with the warmth of both the decor and the affable staff. The space exudes a pristine and snug atmosphere, creating an immediate sense of comfort that is further elevated by the arrival of piping hot and delectable dishes. In my culinary exploration, I opted for the wings and a pork belly pocket bun, while my companion indulged in the exquisite Special Beef Brisket Soup Noodles and the flavorful S & P Shredded Squid. The irresistible allure of each dish made sharing an inevitability, as the tantalizing appearance and aroma of the food captured our senses. I found myself particularly captivated by the S & P Shredded Squid and the Special Beef Brisket Soup Noodles, a perennial favorite for my friend who has been a loyal patron since the restaurant's inception. Undoubtedly, this establishment is a must-try for anyone seeking a combination of flavorful cuisine and affordability. An experience that not only satisfies the palate but leaves you eager to return for more!

我點了雞肉叻沙米粉及日式吉列豬扒咖喱飯。這個叻沙不是叻沙湯，比較似冬蔭功。咖喱飯比較咸，飯不是用珍珠米，豬扒也一般。服務是好的，但食品味道強差人意。不值4.8評分。另外要提的是油煙比較大。

We were in Liverpool for a martial arts tournament and ate here with a large group of people. The service was top notch and the food delicious. Highly recommended 👌

First time as was recommended. Great selection of very tasty food. As food cooked to order if you go in a group you may not necessarily get all food together but it's worth waiting for.

So a little gem the food is amazing very fresh. The only thing is starters and mains all come together I understand that what happens but the food was that nice I wanted to slow down and enjoy every single flavour and boy it was very flavoursome Must say the waitress was very nice and very helpful explaining the menu thank you so much

The special tofu mao was good, though the vegan version without egg was the same price as with egg. Perhaps the egg could be an extra and on? I had the (vegan) tofu chilli bean mixed with the aubergine chilli bean. It was a bit too sweet, so not so traditional, and not spicy enough. There was also way more aubergine than the tofu, which was a shame.

2nd visit in 4 months. A hidden gem. Great food/service/good pricing- excellent.I’ll be back soon.

I love this place. I just moved to liverpool, and there’s not a lot of korean food places here. I hadn’t been satisfied with any until I came here. I love fried tofu so I get the fried tofu bibimbap a lot :)

It's fair. We tried two main courses and two starters, and the only thing I can say was really good is the sweet spicy wings. The service was great.

A little gem of a restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious and served so quickly. Only seats about 30 and you can hear the food being cooked ! The staff were so helpful. Can’t wait to return.

Absolutely lovely place to grab some food. Food is very high quality and large portions. Staff were friendly, overall such a gorgeous atmosphere.

Curry was amazing, sweet and sour was amazing. Good value for money too. Will be making this my new regular

Absolutely amazing!This place was clean & smelled good. The staff are super friendly and the food was delicious.Highly recommended.

Absolutely gorgeous food, excellent service and price!! I cannot wait to come back again. I have told practically everyone I know to go!!

I ordered a Malaysian soup at the Bao & Bap restaurant, which was truly exquisite – intensely spicy and full of deep flavors. Regrettably, after my visit on October 12th, I experienced food poisoning confirmed to be a CAMPYLOBACTER infection. I am certain it was this restaurant since I ate nothing else that day. This experience completely overshadowed my visit. I strongly urge the management to take specific actions to ensure proper hygiene standards.

Lovely little place for authentic food! The staff were super welcoming and friendly, Very generous portions and super affordable,food was absolutely amazing,a lot of options for mains and sides! Will be back for sure!

這個亞洲特色菜的餐廳，很特別也很好味，完全符合我們的口味！那位服務員更介紹給我們他們餐廳的甜品，也是不錯的！

(Apologies for unjust photos we couldn’t wait to eat) Me and my friend had been excited to try here for some time and I can safely say it was definitely worth it. Pork pan fried dumplings, shredded chicken, Korean sweet and hot wings, salt and pepper chips, kimchi and katsu curry were our starters/ sides and we were GREATLY pleased with the flavour of our food as it tasted very much cooked to order and fresh. Our mains were the katsu chicken rice bowl and Malaysian prawn curry rice bowl and these dishes along our remaining sides finished the meal off perfectly due too their heat/spice, flavour, freshness and also how well the food settled. Safely to say we probably looked like we hadn’t eaten in weeks with how much we enjoyed the food. This alongside how friendly and clearly hard working and attentive the staff are would make me recommend this place too anyone who loves a comforting meal.

الطعم رهيب، اذا محتار وش تاخذ/ين جربوا الماليزي بنودل فرش. سبايسي وكله نكهه.

Amazing service and even better food. We would highly recommend this place.

Was good but all aspects of the place could be improved

Excellent small restaurant which all my family loved. Great value for money, quick and friendly service & gorgeous food. We'll definitely return.

Visiting Liverpool again but for the Mrs 40th. Always looking for authentic japanese food and this place is amazing. Service was great, food arrived promptly and 🔥. Good music playing in the background and not too loud. Literally can't fault this place. Was planning to go again but saving it for our next trip. The best things go to those who wait. Highly recommended.

Amazing place amazing staff and absolutely amazing food

Booked because of the TripAdvisor reviews and very glad we did. The restaurant itself is very basic. No frills, but spotless. Drinks ordered, we only wanted soft drinks and they were supplied in cans. Ordered starters and they were quickly delivered. Starters were delicious, freshly cooked and hot. Starters delivered when ready and not all at same time. Once done with starters the dishes were collected swiftly. A few minutes later the main dishes arrived. Piping hot. Again absolutely delicious and super tasty. They were 4 of us and all in less than £100. That was for 9 or so smaller starter dishes and 4 larger main dishes, inc drinks. Brilliant value. Just to mention the staff, they were lovely Happy to amend dishes to suit i.e. remove corriander. Can recommend this place very highly.

Amazing food and great flavour with good size portions. Staff were all lovely and friendly. I would recommend to anybody around the area looking for pan Asian cuisine selection. The beef ribs were soft and juicy and the other dishes were also great all at reasonable prices. Only managed to take a photo of the Korean fried chicken wings, but I am definitely going again :)

Really tasty food full of flavour. Great affordable prices with large variety. I would recommend to anybody visiting Liverpool

Staff are so friendly,and welcoming food is amazing cant falt it at all, perfect for couples, friends get together, or even eating alone

Been here a few times and everything has always been delicious!

Staff so welcoming and friendly, food was absolutely delicious. We had a takeout from there during the recent refurbishment, and couldn't wait to visit the restaurant. A true gem of a place, can't recommend highly enough.

Visited tonight, food was delicious, staff are welcoming and so helpful, undoubted value for money and some! Will be returning ASAP, truly a little gem of a place.

Amazing food, amazing staff, amazing people! Highly recommend. I would sell my soul to the devil for the katsu chicken curry! 10/10

Excellent food and great service

I've been coming here for years now, and I'm so happy to still see it doing business. Delicious food, cozy interior, and the female member of staff I spoke to was very polite and cheerful. Highly recommend their Pocket Buns!

Very friendly service, good selection of dishes. The noodle dishes in particular are very filling. Great location, it’s more relaxed than some of the busier streets nearby. Prices are extremely reasonable and great value for money

We loved this quaint restaurant, the food was superb, one of the best Pork Tonkatsu's we've had, the Spicy Wings are so succulently perfect, Liverpool will be our new home and this will be a regular spot to quench our Asian cuisine cravings - seriously the quickest food has ever been brought to our table after ordering and the quality was off the charts!

Very fresh in a cosy environment ! The staff was super friendly and the food was delicious. On the cheaper side with respectable portion sizes !

Average food, friendly service.

We came because it had good ratings, and it was well deserved. Hope to back another time we visit Liverpool

Great authentic Asian food. Lots of Asian people eating there - always a good sign. Reasonably priced. Good spicy flavours. Recommended.

Lovely restaurant with amazing value food. Ordered starters and a main, and was not disappointed by portion size, it was very generous. Amazing value for money for what you get. You can tell it is all home cooked, and it all came out hot and fresh. Did not taste oily or over fried like some restaurants. Only tip i would follow next time is asking the food to come out in intervals, and this was probably because we ordered so much!

我是中国人，我的马来西亚朋友以前跟我推荐过这家餐厅，但是我今天来吃了以后，有些失望：我点了一份台湾卤肉饭和炒乌冬面，卤肉太肥而且太甜（后来店员解释到是因为本地人喜欢这个口味），炒乌冬面就跟咀嚼橡皮筋一样，索然无味。 吃完后很久以来我第一次有了想吐的感觉，强忍着回家。 但是服务态度非常好（表扬，感谢） 我们用现金支付还有10%的discount，学生同样也有10%。 总的来说，如果你不是亚洲人，那么这家店可能符合你的口味，但如果你希望在本地品尝更正宗的亚洲味道，可以去尝试Big Bowl（香港风味），Mr.Chili（川菜）或者Renshaw Road的美食广场。

Everything is amazing! I'll come back

The atmosphere, the people and the food was just amazing! I got Korean sweet and spicy beef with fried rice. I can say that the fried was the best that I’ve had in a long while. Though the beef was a bit too sweet for me personally, I still very much enjoyed it.

Little hidden jem, with tasty food and great service.

What a gem of a restaurant! Staff who are keen to answer any questions and make recommendations. The dumplings are a great starter and I always opt for the crispy chilli beef but the udon noodles are also outstanding. Really good value and you will never leave hungry.

We are comfortable there, lovely woman who did the service. The food itself was top notch, even ordered the squid twice!

It's not often I find genuinely very tasty food paired with friendly and kind service. Not expensive either. Definitely recommended Korean chicken wings were particularly delicious

Great food,great service.Good prices. Will be going back:) Small and cozy place.Staff very friendly and attentive :))

Great tasting food and big portions. Excellent service

One of the best Asian meals I've ever had. Such a fantastic vibe and the staff are very kind and helpful ☺️

Absolutely lovely meal I would highly recommend. I would definitely recommend eating in here, good price lovely food.

Authentic tasting homemade Japanese and Korean food. This cosy and friendly space is an exclusive eating experience. So glad we booked a table! We'll be back next time we're in Liverpool. Highly recommend this tucked away little eatery.

Great spot in Liverpool, authentic food with a good atmosphere is hard to come by in town but this ticks all the boxes

Food was amazing, staff were very friendly. It was a very calm and cosy atmosphere inside.

Great place. The salt & pepper chicken is lovely. The English waitress was new and made a few mistakes, but she's lovely and learning. Ill definitely go back.

Absolutely excellent service and fresh tasty and exciting food. I can highly recommend this excellent hidden gem

Cracking little place serving, Chinese and Asian style food. Very reasonable and worth a visit. Close to the Georgian centre.

Absolutely a gem of a restaurant, the food was delicious, fresh and obviously cooked with passion. Service was great!!

Small, cosy place serving authentic asian food. The owners were very lovely people!

Small place, authentic Asian food, good prices, very tasty food!!!

Perfect food Fast and delicious ! Super recommended

Amazing little place with attentive and friendly staff, massive portions and delicious food! 3 main courses, 3 staters, 1 pudding and drinks only came to £50! Well worth checking out if you’re in the area

Lovely small restaurant with friendly service and amazing food. Definitely recommend booking especially at the weekend. We had a couple of starters each, the pork pocket buns which were so tasty and then a very spicy prawn curry soup noodles bowl (if you like it...

Aboslutely brilliant and tasty, however if you like your food spicy stress it out hard while ordering or they might be bit afraid to make you proper heat. Will definitely come again!

Restaurant simple mais très très bon. Nous avions pris le N9. Copieux et excellent. La responsable est très gentille. Très bon rapport qualité prix.

Super tasty food , tried quite a few things off the menu and enjoyed everything Will definitely be back !
