Bao in City of London, Westminster

I come here often, food is always top notch. Service is great, decor is serene.

incredible baos - i will come back 1000%

Amazing baos and sweet potato chips! Best place for baos in London!

Warm welcome, great food, friendly staff.

The food is incredible and the 3D menu is more fun than you’d think.

100% recommended. Everything super delicious, explosion of flavors. I will repeat

AMAZING ! Everything is delicious, even the drinks. Super nice staff. Really recommended address!!

Amazing service and experience, what a cozy restaurant. I’ll definitely come back!

Other than being too crowded, good service and delicious bao The price is unavoidable due to the fact that it is London... I liked it

Superb Bao (hardly surprising) . The peanut on the classic Bao really made it. The chicken and the non alcoholic cocktail choices were excellent. It's a really small place, booking is pretty much essential, even as a solo diner. Otherwise the queue can be quite long(across the street). There are now a number of Baos across London. This is my favourite.

I will have dreams about the Prawn Shia Song Bao!

Food was 10 out of 10. Must visit

Disgrace! Rude staff and very poor food.

Well done! Go there without hesitation but by booking

Amazing experienence! LOVELY staff 🫶🤍🤍🤍

Small but truly iconic place. We recommend booking! Everything extremely good and very kind staff! We felt like at home 😊

Just don't take table 20 as you will have to move aside nonstop for the people going to the toilet. The rest is great

Omg, I would eat here everyday if I could. Chicken ban, scallop, kale salad are great.

Absolutely incredible, it is better to book because there is always a line to get in!!

Great food great ambience. Alice was absolutely brilliant - thank you so much

Delicious meal and lovely service.

Loved the food and the service, Lou was fantastic the same for the hostess ( didn’t get her name)!!!!!

Blew my mind! Don’t miss the fried chicken. Absolutely amazing.

Tremendous place. And luxury attention.

Very good experience and very friendly staff! we recommend their baos!

Excellent food. Favorites: classic bao bao, aubergine, mushrooms, pig blood, pickles!

The food is very consistent here. Fourth time I've eaten. The baos, sides and main dishes are always good. Can't remember a dish I haven't enjoyed. Only criticism is that small dish eating does end up costing more than you expect.

Everything was great, I will come back again for this 😊

When I went to Bao Soho, despite it being a Saturday I was lucky enough to get a table straight away. I ordered the battered sweet potato, beef rump with white soy, beef cheek nuggets, scallop, confit pork bao, fried chicken bao and prawn bao. I’ve been to 2 other Bao brunches and none of them have disappointed. I love that they all have little variations in their menu which allows me to try different things. I was a big fan of everything I ordered.

Prompt and efficient service. Staff is helpful and friendly. I loved all of it

An atypical experience: from the host to the plate, everything was perfect! A top reception, strange but nevertheless pleasant service, simple but nevertheless elegant cuisine! To do again!

Incredible spot. A must for delicious bao!

Super delicious food and extremely friendly staff. Gladly again

Perfect place for quick lunch with good deal. Top up with a bubble tea, won’t let you down🧋it would be perfect with an even better texture of the rice

The place is cool, these are delicious. Be sure to make a reservation before you go

What a little gem! Great concept, delicious food and amazing service. I am so glad my friend convinced me to come - as I believe I tried probably the most delicious desert I had pleasure eating so far. Will definitely pop in again to try more options, just wish they had few more vegetarian dishes on the menu.

I love this place, we went almost at closing time but wow the food and the cocktails were AMAZING!

One of favourite restaurants in Soho! Cozy, clear menu and absolutely delicious.

Amazing food, especially the daikon bao!

Excellent! Fantastic value for money.

Excellent Bao! Satisfied our craving!!

The prawn bao and horlicks dessert are two of the best things I have ever eaten.

The food is absolutely delicious. Eventhough it is a bit small, the service was Great .

Close to fine dinning experience

Always delighted, Baos are delicious, the kale salad is a secret gem.

Best part was experiencing how the team speaks and supports themselves even during busy hours. We loved the food, the service, the place, EVERYTHING👌🏼👌🏼

Seamless reservation experience online 1 day prior and promptly seated upon arrival- absolutely delicious food and did not have to wait long for it - would return again

Utterly delicious (as always!) with Great friendly service.

Everything in this place is just “must-try” ! I loved the foods I tried. The staffs were so friendly and polite.

Fantastic experience and the food is so good

Awesome. Go for it, it was really good and the teams are adorable.

We ate here based on a recommendation. Food was delicious, everyone in the restaurant was attentive and friendly. However, in my opinion it is too expensive for what it is and considering the portion size. The two of us paid almost €80, although I'm sure that I can also eat such delicious baos in Chinatown. To try, but ok. I definitely wouldn't eat there again for that price.

Lovely modest place with a great selection of steamed baos. I liked their virtual waiter app - made ordering & paying very easy.

Great food, service and ambiance!

The food and service were very good, a good place to enjoy some baths and beers alone or with someone.

Everything súper nice! And so yummy!

Amazing Baos and probably the best ones I ever had

I really enjoyed my food and the staff were extremely welcoming.

Great food, great vibe, great service!

+ Great food and nice staff. Non-alcoholic drinks selection is also fab. - Infuriating digital QR code menu and ordering process, but you can ask the staff for a paper menu and to pay properly.

Overall great. Have a new online order system which makes it less fun than in the past but food still great

Best fried chicken and mushrooms ever!!

The food is delicious, no questions about it. Service is friendly and usually quick, although the place does get busy. I will say that the place is quite small and the tables rather small, so it can feel a bit cramped. Book ahead if you can, to be sure, but only once has it been tough for them to accommodate me as a walk-in. Great little place!

Dave was the best! Wonderful team... great welcome. Thanks guys!

Made with so much love. Great service. Spicy drinks and extra love! Shortrib bao was outrageous!

This is a store I've known since I fell in love with Bao and started studying Bao. I had a really good time eating it and it will be a great Bao shop in the future!! I'm rooting for you~

Amazing restaurant! They are super friendly and kind! The food was great!

We absolutely loved our lunch at BAO, the food was incredible and the service was excellent. Thank you!

Absolutely delicious! Great atmosphere, friendly service 👌🏻

The service and food were amazing!Staff are lovely!!!

Excellent food service and ambience!

Delicious BAO buns, you can see them being freshly made and taste so good. We tried the pork bao which was incredible

I had to wait 20 minutes for a table despite having a reservation. I assume that this is due to the usual rhythm of service being disrupted by customers being asked to order for themselves by scanning a QR code at the table. Very friendly and attentive staff, good food, but the price point is just too high to be making customers use a QR code to order. I don’t like having to be on my phone when I’m out having a meal. That and the lack of any music made for a disappointing atmosphere.

Food and service very good .. Just very cramped

Food is delicious. The shrimps bao is excellent. A background music would have made the atmosphere more interesting. Great experience overall

Went to Bao Soho and honestly felt pretty disappointed. The staff were quite snobbish—no warm welcome or even basic acknowledgment while we waited outside. They walked past us multiple times without saying a word, even though we were clearly in line. Not sure what kind of gimmick or vibe they’re trying to pull off, but it just came off as unwelcoming. They really need to lock in and focus more on being friendly and attentive. The experience just left a bad taste before we even got in.

Both the food and the service were exceptional. It was our first time, but we'll be back.

Delicious food, wonderful staff, thanks!

Everything is delicious, the hospitality of the staff is at the highest level and they are very attentive. We chose this place 2 days in a row, I definitely recommend it.

Very polite service and delicious food. Great little restaurant.

Amazing I ordered too much because I was advised to have 5 dishes and they looked tiny on the app Great friendly staff great food

Really cute spot to have amazing bao! The meet was super juicy, side dishes are super flavourful and the prices are adequate. The staff is very attentive and kind. This was overall a great experience - remember to book your table before coming !

Had such an amazing dinner, food was lovely, and staff was so accommodating, thank you for a lovely dinner!

Very good, everything is incredible, I highly recommend it, the lunch menu must be even better in terms of cost benefit, great service

Algunos de los elementos del menú parecían un poco caros considerando lo que incluían, y me sorprendió genuinamente que una sola vieira se considerara una porción; eso difícilmente califica como una porción. Por cierto, la vieira no estaba fresca. El precio del té es bastante alto, y no se ofrece de la manera clásica, con las hojas remojadas en la olla y acompañadas de agua caliente adicional.

Shoutout to an Asian girl, she was the sweetest ever!!

Baoutiful bao buns! Great service, cute little place to eat, thank you!

Lovely bar to have some bits and drinks

Fantastic food and service. Perfect for solo diners as there is a 20£ deal for a solo diner. As well as-great atmosphere and service!

Amazing food, service, and ambience! I totally recommend ordering the Bao 15 or Long Day Menus if coming as a solo diner. 10/10!

Perfect location and unbeatable service. If I lived in London, I'd definitely come back, but since I don't, I recommend it to everyone!

Bao bao bao. Worth the wait? Yes. Stick to the Baos.

I really enjoyed my dining experience here. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. The boas are AMAZING, definitely try those out. I had the mushrooms, the balance in the sou sauce was off, making it too sour. The rice bowl was okay. The friend chicken is good. The Taiwanese beer is yum! The place is expensive and the quantity is slightly less, but it does fill you up. Would definitely reccomend trying this place out.

Overall the experience was wonderful. Amazing food, beautiful atmosphere, and solid service at an extremely reasonable price. Everything we had was great, but the eggplant with the wonton chips were absolutely incredible. Even with a background in fine dining and a pretty strong affinity for trying every restraunt I can while traveling, it was hands down the best eggplant dish I've ever had in my life.

Very nice atmosphere and attentive staff

Loved the lonely man tasting menu. Wished the roasted oolong and ice cream sandwich were apart of it

Everything was incredible - we will definitely be back !!! :)

Food is tasty but could have more diversity in the options and more fresh ingredients in the baos. The vegetarian bao especially seemed to be lacking in comparison to the meat options and some kimchi etc wouldn't be a bad edition.

I’m a Taiwanese and so thrilled to eat food that reminded me of home. So delicious! Highly recommend!

Food slapped, staff were top-tier. No complaints.
