The young lad who served us was excellent. It was our 1st time in the shop and he took the time to explain how to order He didnt mind explaining what a bao bun was and how it was made. His advice and patience was well recieved . He is a credit to the shop.

The sales assistants are very kind, great choice of foods. The perfect cooked rice, the bao good but I would add more sauce to make them perfect; the only thing is that the chips are a little bland (but still delicious and not greasy).

The bao buns are out of this world! I go for Tofu with the hot mix, very yummy. The spiced fries and sriracha go down a treat. My only criticism would be the price, it is a little pricey and it would be nice if the lunch deal extended to the weekends.

Food was decent, just expensive for what you get. 15 quid for 2 bao, chips and a drink, and while the flavour was good the bao were very light on the duck.

I visit Bao from time to time at different locations. Friday night about ten pm I ordered the bao bun(2) portion with pop corn chicken. You can add three sides. So I had Asian slaw, pickled carrot and onion and a little kimchi with Korean bbq sauce. At £9.95 it's reasonable in this day and age. I like these, though the kimchi was too hot for me and I should have left it out. Staff helpful and as it was empty when I went in I had no wait. Recommended. Clean and efficient service.

I used to pop in every now and again for the lunch deal which was a bao, spiced fries and a drink for 8. The same is now 12, with an extra bao, but it's called a meal deal. The lunch deal for 9 is now only a single bao and a heap of rice, no fries, no drink. I asked twice not to have peanuts on my sad little rice, but guess what - I got flippin peanuts regardless. Edit: I see BaoBun has replied to my review and has completely missed the point. I get it that inflation drives prices up and don't mind paying more for the same thing. My beef is that it wasn't the same thing, so effectively it was a combo of inflation and shrinkflation where portions get smaller - in this case a third smaller as there was no drink or fries offered in the so called deal. That's all there is to it, no need to act derisively or make me sound petty by offering me a 1 refund as clearly that's not what it was about. Good day to you.

Wrong order, food not even tasty I have ordered baos and got rice instead. Below my order there was a restaurant number, so I called them, I was told the number on delivero is incorrect and I was given a different number just to be told nothing can be done and I need to contact delivero, so there was no chance of getting correct order. Aimee was unapologetic and unhelpful. Also the dish was ment to have kimchi in it, and it had raw cabbage and carrot instead. Food was very tasteless, you can make it much better at home and not waste yor money.

I never got my meal. Had said they’d delivered it which they didn’t (I gave the right address) never got a refund either. Definitely not blaming the restaurant, my brother had ordered from here and he got his food and we were staying at the same place so go figure. Asked for a refund cause this had happened twice in less than 24hrs and couldn’t get a refund. Not happy at all.

Fantastic Bao! Found the menu ordering system a little confusing as it was our first time here. The front of house employees were great at helping us through this, however, although communication was a little bit more difficult with all of us wearing masks and the very effective and essential perspex screen with holes in it to shout through! Food was really delicious. Tried several types of Bao and all were good. Kids loved their children's meals as well. The spicy fries with Szechuan dip were especially good. Effective dividers between the tables also making this small space feel more safe. If I'm being picky, the Kimchi was a bit too hot for the kids and I don't think it has been fermented for long enough; was a bit thin and sweet. The staff here are very friendly and a credit to the business. Can't wait to visit again! Update Jan 2023... Yep, still great! 😋

Good place for a snack. Fun tasty and delicious. At £8:75 for 2 baos it’s not cheap. They have various fillings. The walnut mushrooms is very good. Tried the jackfruit and the popcorn cauliflower ones too. It’s messy to eat so be prepared. A meal deal is for £12:75 with fries and a drink with your baos. Good enough for one time for me atleast, not sure I would come back again.

I can take it or leave it hence the rating. Good that they offer a veggie only offering. In my opinion your experience may be determined by who's staffing the customer facing roles. Prices have risen to reflect increased raw materials cost, which is fair. It might be a better experience if you sit in, I always take away.

Came here after a nice day at the beach during the heatwave looking for some nice takeout and was absolutely not disappointed. I got a bao burger with char siu and the korean BBQ combo and it was absolutely lovely. I have had chinese in London with dumplings before and ever since I have been missing them - BaoBun has given me a taste of Char Siu again. The fries that came with it were brilliant as well, similiar in size to McDonalds but not soggy in the slightest and they were nicely seasoned. I will certainly be coming back - no question.

For the size of the Bao buns, they are extremely filling. Got the pork 'hot' ones, BBQ beef, and popcorn chicken fries. The selection is excellent, staff very friendly, nice you can sit in a causal environment and the food is extremely tasty, with great flavours and textures. Could be considered on the more expensive side, as prices soon add up, but it's definitely a treat. Can see why it's so popular, and would be unfair to rate it anything but five star.

We were walking around central Belfast on tour and spotted the Parisien Cafe right across the street from the Belfast City Hall. Cute place and we were delighted with their food and expresso. My wife and I shared a brioche French toast which came with some ham/bacon. The French toast was magnifico, some of the best we have ever had. The ham/bacon was good and not as salty as what we have become use to while in England. I finished off with a caramel macchiato that was good as or maybe better than what I've had in Paris.

Not the easiest place to find (it's tucked away) so we were a little late for our booking. It was the total antipathy to the usual snooty, starchy M* restaurants. A very laid back, casual atmosphere. They were happy to provide the tasting, and veggie tasting menus which is not always the case. The food was fabulous. No chef egos on display - no Heston-esque experimentation, no "oyster ice cream" type nonsense (actually seen on a menu in Galway), simply good ingredients, perfectly cooked and combinations that worked 100%. We had the wine flight, which was also superb. Halibut was my personal star, but then halibut always is, whenever on a menu. Unless it's overcooked, which it was not here. Only two less than glowing comments. Nothing personal here, but a strong Belfast accent is very tricky to soft southern English ears, and with the hubbub and music we simply could not understand our servers, especially the sommelier as she described the wine. We had to pretend with a knowing smile, as asking for endless repetition is embarrassing. Speaking more loudly would help. I was also surprised at paper napkins. Surely somewhere of this calibre could run to linen. All in all, we enjoyed the experience enormously and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
