BaoBun was my favourite takeaway on the east side, the staff they had was great, easy to chat with and I looked forward to going in, then they tried the resteraunt thing and I couldn't get my order for a while, but thankfully they've reverted back to the good ole days, just with my order being one £1 more expensive haha

Lovely experience and food. Went with deaf parent and waitress went out of her way to make us comfortable, lowered sound and took time. And the food was gorgeous. Will be a regular for sure. Thank you

So it turns out that Bao buns and dressed fries are the perfect lunch! Teriyaki beef brisket Bao and kimchi fries really hit the spot! My daughter had crispy chicken Bao with katsu curry fries and she loved them. The Bao buns are so soft and everything is fresh and tasty and the service is really good. I totally recommend it!

Some menu items were a hit, but others very disappointing. The scotch egg was well received and cooked perfectly with runny yolk. Pho recipe at this restaurant is very different to what I have ordered at Botanic. My pho was unmistakeably made with a beef OXO cube and not a bone broth. It felt like a step backward compared with the rest of the carefully prepared dishes.

We decided to give bao bun deluxe a try and we are so glad we did. This is a relatively new sit in concept from their other branches . The interior was modern and very chilled. Nice atmosphere. We decided to order two bao buns each and three sides. The quality of the meat was brilliant. We had chicken, beef and duck bao. My hubby had a side of chicken wings - this was a great portion and he absolutely loved them. I had the chicken satay skewers. I love satay and this was one of the best I’ve had. The satay sauce was thick , creamy and really peanutty. The bao buns themselves were so soft , fresh and light- you can tell they are fresh and homemade. The fillings were delicious. We shared a katsu fries which were also yummy. They were making up fresh cocktails which we didn’t try but any going past us looked good! Staff were friendly, efficient and good chat. Overall a great experience and we will happily return and recommend to friends. It’s not posh or pretentious- it’s good quality Asian food. There were vegetarian options available on the menu also. Give it a try if you love bao !

A bit different to typical BaoBun spots as they is a set menu with waiters and it serves alcohol. Lovely interior -very clean- with great music (not too loud either). Fast service and my family had a really lovely waitress who dealt with our customisations really well and asked questions to make sure we got what we wanted. We all had the crispy chicken and asked for it over the spiced fries instead of on a Bao bun and it was absolutely beautiful. There were also a wide variety of drinks and I found their strawberry lemonade delicious as it wasn’t too sweet and the fact that they offered boba was delightful! We will definitely be back!!!

Updated review: value for money is maybe a little less good than it used to be, but the food is still v tasty and with supplier prices right now I think it’s OK. Apologies for my scathing review- this place is still good if you’re out for an evening meal and don’t mind splashing out a little. Staff are great.

Can’t recommend this place enough! My friend and I both had dogs and were struggling to find a place that allowed us to sit outside, but we came across this place and I’m glad we did. Had blankets for us outside, the food was 10/10 and they even gave us free dessert! Also I have a nut allergy and they were very accommodating which was appreciated! Chris served us and was great, will definitely be back😋

What a little gem of a place! This place is perfect wee spot for a bite to eat, the menu is different from the other bao buns but there is so much to choose from and everything is so fresh and tasty. I got the lamb kofta bao from the express lunch menu and it was gorgeous. The Vietnamese coffee is stunning. Service was so lovely and couldn’t recommend this restaurant enough. Can’t wait to get back ❤️

Came for a bit of something different on a Sunday evening. Familiar with the Botanic eatery so expecting something tasty. Absolutely blown away by the kindness of the staff on arrival. Easy to order, great selection. The food was delicious (corn ribs-great!) Will be back. Recommended to anyone. Note-kids welcomed and made to feel special.

The wee boy with the tattoos made excellent cocktails and he really made me feel welcomed in the establishment when he came to clear our plates and ensured that we had everything we needed. The food was sublime, and the overall vibe was euphoric. However, it was slightly pricey but you get what you pay for and this was great for a once a month eat out. 10.10

Went for lunch today as we went before for dinner and it was fantastic. This time however we were let down by the service. The waitress was nice but after my wife and i had finished our meal our plates were cleared and the waitress brought the bill straight over and asked did i need the card machine. We had planned to order a coffee and dessert but werent given the chance or option to do so and felt then we were being rushed to leave and we hadn't even finished our drinks. This was around 2pm and we were only there around 25 minutes and the only table in. We did order off the express menu but still no excuse. I work in restaurants and would never be so rude to do that.

The new place does look great and the food is as good as always but I've got to be honest I'm a bit disappointed I don't have the classic bao bun fast food setup anymore because it was the only thing like it in ballyhackamore where you were guaranteed to get great, customisable, quick, large portioned and reasonably priced fast food. I think it's a little overpriced now and didn't expect to be given bottled water I had to pay for when I asked for just water 😅 I hope the new take goes well for them but for me personally I liked the street food vibe better.

Absolutely amazing spontaneous night at Bao Bun. First time here and will lead to time and time again. Bonnie filled the room with so much love and care and was like talking to an old friend, and gave me and my partner excellent recommendations. The Vietnamese coffee and Banana Spring roll dessert was our highlights! Thank you so much for a gorgeous night ♥️

Chris and Jeff were so friendly and passionate about the new set up which was lovely to see, and they provided a welcoming, efficient service. Would really recommend and will definitely be back.

Since opening its doors last year in Ballyhack, BaoBun has become synonymous with high quality Taiwanese Street Food serving fantastic, fresh sharing plates, dressed fries, rice dishes, soups, burgers and the ultimate sandwich: steamed, pillowy Bao packed with delicious flavours and fillings. And since January, the reinvented “BaoBun Deluxe” features an exciting new menu, table service, a terrific drinks list, and great options for vegans & vegetarians. All ingredients are cooked, steamed, baked, & pickled in-house. The new interior is stunning. Fabulous artwork by local artist Codo, in rich reds and striking blacks, gives the restaurant a warm, contemporary feel, accompanied by a playlist which was completely up our street. There’s also a great little heated terrace so you can enjoy al fresco dining with your furry friends! We started our lunch with a couple of clever twists on traditional cocktails; a spicy Kimchi Cosmo, and a smooth Vietnamese Espresso Martini. We ordered a selection of dishes to share, including crunchy Popcorn Cauliflower with a Ponzu dipping sauce, tender Tempura Crispy Squid with wasabi tartar, and a refreshing Chilli Soy Cucumber Sesame Salad which all complemented each other perfectly. The Bao are phenomenally good; light cushions of steamed dough, filled with a variety of temptingly tasty fillings. The Roast Duck Bao was a hoisin, cucumber & scallion delight. Even the burgers are a unique take on the traditional, featuring lightly toasted sesame Bao Buns. We went for the Panko Halloumi with slaw and a chilli mango chutney: crispy, cheesy and satisfying. Watch out for exciting new developments at Bao Bun Deluxe, including Deluxe Sharing Platters for 2, served on Saturdays and Sundays from 12:00 to 17:00, a snip at £20, or £30 including a carafe of wine. And coming soon, a brand new lunchtime specials menu. We can’t wait to try it!

Good service, the waitress was ok however the food was terrible. I ordered the classic pork bao and the meat was more fat than meat. I had ordered some other dishes and they were inedible with hard rice and dodgy meat. We left after 5 minutes.

My boyfriend and I visited on their 2nd day of being open, and I cannot compliment the staff more! We came at a busy time where the queue was slightly long, but it wasn't long getting cleared. I have long been a bao bun fan and this store is a very exciting addition to the chain! I have to shout out all the staff members that were on that night, they were all so positive and energetic even though I'm sure they were probably stressed out! I wish I knew their names, but I especially want to shout out the guy that took our order at the start with the nose piercing and the girl at the till who complimented my skirt:) their energies were so positive and they deserve so much praise, as do all the other staff members!!

Me encantó la ensalada de papaya y pad Thai. Olvidé traer nuestras propias bebidas. Eso no importaba porque la comida era genial. También tiene un plato de mariscos y rollos de primavera. Sin duda volveré a ir. El lugar estaba tan ocupado con la gente entrando y saliendo. Me alegro de haber hecho una reserva.

Really tasty food even and drinks. We got the Ramen, the Dandan, a ginger beer and a cucumber ginger beer. The ginger beers were super delicious, the best I've ever had. Then the food was super flavourful and delicious. Will definitely be back to try more from the menu
