Daddy Bao in Wandsworth

Excelente comida, excelente ambiente y personal encantador. Sabrosa, fresca y deliciosa, la comida es muy buena. Este lugar es muy divertido y animado. Haga una reserva porque estaba muy ocupado y a los lugareños les encantaría mantenerlo en secreto! Todo lo que pedimos era de 5 estrellas, pero no puede faltar el filete de tataki o pepinos golpeados y las Margaritas eran muy buenas. Vete. Es excelente. Y son buenas personas. Oh y pd están abriendo un ‘Speak Easy’ debajo del restaurante que será magnífico.

Después de un largo día en el trabajo, sabía que todo lo que necesitaba era algo de comida y una buena bebida. El servicio por Frances y Carina era de primer nivel desde la puerta! Además, el ambiente que proporcionaron y tan buen rollo en general hicieron que la experiencia valiera la pena 10 veces. Volveré (por tercera vez) y ahora este es oficialmente mi lugar para relajarse! Ay papá Bao mantener a su personal feliz, porque tienes algunos buenos aquí

Lugar más pequeño de lo que imagino, no estaba demasiado ocupado en un martes lluvioso, así que el servicio fue rápido. Disfrutamos de la comida, y recomendaría. Tres bao's eran suficientes para mí, pero había tomado una pinta antes de la cena y un negroni durante. Un compañero de comedor estaba decepcionado con la disponibilidad de postres, el otro no dijo mucho aparte de la música demasiado alta. Fui al pub de antílopes después y tomé dos pintas, otra pinta en la taberna Raynes Park y una lata de cerveza pulida de camino a casa. Prueba de función hepática este viernes.

Absolutely delicious, the best dumplings in town, excellent bao and the staff is very welcoming. The place is very cosy. A return is guaranteed!

Went for a last minute dinner on a Sunday, pleasantly surprised. Setting was tip top - service was quick and to the point, food came out staggered and perfectly. Recommend the beef tataki, I’d definitely come back!!

We had a lovely meal , it was our first time trying Taiwanese food and we thoroughly enjoyed all of it- I would have to say the pulled pork bao bun was my favourite though. The crispy squid , the chicken and the mud crab amazing. Not too keen on the sesame seed ice cream though it wasn’t sweet. Drinks were very nice and served well. There was a lively atmosphere in the restaurant and the service was good. Would definitely return.

cant really fault this place, lovely Bao buns, good service and prices are quite reasonable, the chicken Bao was a winner, as was the beef.. recommended

Food interesting and portion size good. Limited vegan choices. Felt pushed out off the table early as probably they were trying to squeeze in third sitting before closing. Shame.

A great spot for a light bite or simply order more small dishes while drinking expertly made cocktails. I was satisfied with a starter and two bao's, my much larger boyfriend had four. We then ordered another starter! The cocktails were delicious, especially teh spicy margarita, and were reasonably priced fro London. Don't miss the specials (on the wall). We will be back again and again this is our new favourite spot.

Cannot fault Daddy Bao. The food is amazing and so are the cocktails. But what makes it is definitely the staff. We booked quite last minute and on a Saturday but they were so accommodating and managed to get us in. We were served by Carina who was so attentive and lovely. You can tell she cares about customers and if they are having a good time and happy with their meals. Carina spent time talking to us, recommending dishes and drinks, she was just great and really made our night.

First time at Daddy Bao’s inTooting and holy crap it was good! Everything from the service and food to the drinks was exceptional. Food we ordered: - Roasted aubergine: 5/5. - Crispy cabbage: 5/5. - Fried chicken: 5/5. - Crispy squid: 5/5. - Pork Bao: 5/5. The addition of peanuts in this gave it the edge. - Chicken bao: 4/5. The balance of flavours was a little off hence 4/5 however still a very strong score. - Mushroom bao: 5/5. Possibly the best bao I tried. The balance of textures and flavours was on point!! All the food was extremely tasty, and the value for money was great for the sizes. The drinks were all amazing, we sampled the sake menu and was not disappointed. The barman knew his stuff, his recommendations were great, the apricot and yuzu sake were definitely a favourite. He was also very helpful, friendly and sociable. The staff were incredible from the moment we walked in. Service was impeccable and their recommendations were great. Friendly, helpful, attentive, sociable… what more can you ask for! I really cannot fault this place. Would definitely recommend and I will be returning

3 of us had a mix of starters and a bao each and everything was on point. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Great experience

My wife and having grown up in Tooting and now in our fifth decade saw this place and she continually wanted to try it. Last week we ventured in over the bank holiday on the way home and had a quick bite. The food was good. At business school they taught us that if you give someone good service they will tell 2 people but if you give them bad service they will tell 10. True to form i told my daughter who is somewhat of a bao bun connesieur and the receptionist at my GP who i found out is also somewhat of an expert. So Today i suggested to my wife for us to revisit said establishment. Sadly the experience was not good. I can only conclude that there is a TYPE of customer that is preferred. Who has put in office this diktat is debatable but diktat there be. I am no shrinking violet and to be fair when i queried this in the venue i was told i should email the owners as they like to hear these sorts of feedback. But the concept of a complaint is it is a problem that needs to be resolved more importantly that can be resolved. My issue is with the service i received, past tense. It has happened it cant unhappen. So being true to form just as i told 2 when i was impressed with the food last week, i am now telling my 10 through the medium of modern day technology via this bad boy. I could be over reacting i may be getting old and just too tired for this nonsence but you decide. Its a simple and relatively minor slight some may say but it was enough to totally ruin my evening and my mood. So we attended the venue no reservation (thats on us) its 6.25 the place is empty. The girl approaches asks if we have a reservation we say no she says hold on and goes to get someone. Another girl comes from the back she tells us they are fully booked but she has one spot they can give us until 8pm. we say ok she tells us it the bench looking out of the window right by the door where we are standing. Literally we are at the door. I queried cant we sit inside she says they have no seats inside at all fully booked. My partner then says can we sit in the corner which is at the other end of the bench we are being told to sit at {there is a couple sitting in the middle of the bench she is saying on the other side of them instead of this side which puts us at the door (incidently where we were sat last week but it was packed then) again she says no that place is reserved the only space she has is the one next to the entrance door. i was going to leave and even said so to my partner but she said lets just eat it will be quick so we sat down literally where we stood. we have not ventured more than two yards into the establishment at this point. We have then had to sit by the door whilst 4 sets of people walk ins like us came into the restaurant and were seated inside the venue. 1st a couple with a pushchair and a little boy. They were told they could have a table until 7.30pm inside the restaurant and were shown in. We queried at this point and asked the new waitress why we were not given that option and she said because they have a small child that is the only table she could offer them (not sure what that means or how it explains anything). Next two young girls who were shown in and given a table at the bar. Next another couple were shown in and given a seating inside. Then a guy came with 4 friends who waited outside by now the place is filling. He was told no space at the inn. A young girl with young boy immediately told no place at the inn. A couple came were seated at the end of our bench the same seating we were denied earlier on. Now when i speak of all these people they are all walk ins. How do i know because i have been seated right next to the door on high up stools and they are all with the waitress standing less than a yard away from me (if you view the pics of the place you will understand . i could touch them by just bringing my hand up to touch my head we are that close) i can hear the whole conversations and see the tablet she is looking at. I think thats what was adding insult to injury the fact this was all being done literally in our faces everytime someone walked in we had to listen to them say walk in and then watch them be seated. We queried this with a gentleman who works there and he said to email the owners and also took the service charge off the bill (although i believe he was in on the diktat and quite possibly the orchestrator. Being a boss of my own company for over 20 years i can identify who is the DM (decision maker)) The funny thing is the food somehow was not so great this time however that may have been because i was distracted and also feeling highly aggrieved the whole time. Now here's the interesting thing to unravel. The two staff who approached us the one who went and called someone as if acting under a diktat and the one who came were of African heritage. Myself and my partner are of African heritage the boyfriend of the girl who was turned away point blank was of African heritage although she herself was of European descent. So my question can this be about my heritage, well no because it was done by someone of similar heritage. Was it just an innocent mistake possibly. The waitress who came and dealt with us did not come back again and the lady who dealt with all the others was of European heritage. However the lady who dealt with us was also called to deal with us the last time we came. So after mulling this whole experience in my head at the time and on the way home we cut the whole experience short and was out of there by 7pm we arrived at 6.25pm. What have i deduced from this experience. 1. Food is never good if the experience is bad. 2. If you wish to employ some discriminatory policies employ and use the people your planning on discriminating against and get them to do it. (i should note the two girls who were seated at the bar were of Asian descent and muslim as they were wearing full muslim garb with headress) 3 Trip advisor doesnt have spell check. 4. I really am now an old grandad even if i am only 50 as i am spending my friday evening writing a negative review on Tripadvisor. That being said thats my experience and shall not be returning again as my hometown tooting has changed so much im spoiled for choice and dont need to have these sorts of experiences in my life if i dont want to. Dont need a reply from Bao and definitely dont want anyone to get in trouble. Just telling you my experience go there and see for yourself. If your the right type nudge nudge wink wink your be fine, and if your not well you know what to do. Enjoy

5/5 - Lovely food, and experience. The BAO buns were amazing, I would highly recommend, very good value for London. Ordered the following things: Szechuan cucumber Chicken dumplings Fried chicken pieces Sweet potato fries Bao Diddley chicken Mr Bao pork belly Beef brisket Bao

Delicious bao buns and chicken poppers. Ordered for takeaway and received quickly. Staff were friendly and helpful when asking about the menu. 9/10

Lovely atmosphere and great food. Had a selection of starter, and Baos , and nice cocktails Would definitely recommend

Do book as it’s busy. Sat at the bar as didn’t book but good place to sit for two. Very nice interior. cocktail- very good. Had bao- prawn and beef-both amazing The aubergine starters are as amazing. Good service.

Came here with my friend. We had a few cocktails which were really nice and the fried chicken to start which was good. I had the chicken bao which was nice but it was the same fried chicken inside as the starter and if I’d of known I’d probably have ordered something different. However both were delicious and we left happy to return :) oh and the staff were really friendly, helpful and quick . Oh I should mention the onion in the photos is an inside joke, they don’t randomly give out onions with faces drawn on.

One of my favourite places. The bao buns are just incredible, such delicious flavours and choice. I’ve been back again and again and already can’t wait for my next visit. The staff are really friendly, service is quick and the food is fantastic.

This restaurant and it's outstanding staff are always on point. Great food, drinks and service. If you're in the area, definitely check it out.

Great food, service and atmosphere. We To Daddy Bao to celebrate a friend’s birthday, the restaurant was busy but the service was 10/10. We didn’t need to chase anything up and the food and drinks came out in good time.

Visited here a couple of weeks ago on a Saturday night. Definitely need to book ahead. Service was okay, sometimes hard to flag someone down. The food overall was good but honestly nothing to rave about. The aubergine starter I would advise to avoid, we...

I took my boyfriend here for his birthday and it was amazing. The staff were so welcoming and helpful, and answered all our questions about the menu. The food was wonderful and we just kept on ordering more. Lovely atmosphere and decoration. Highly recommend this...

This would have been a lovely meal but the service was extremely poor. We received our starters before we got our drinks (these didn’t turn up until 40 mins after we had arrived and after we had asked them twice where they were). Food service...

Loved this place so much, service was ace and food was absolutely incredible. So much choice for vegans. Loved it! The place is a little cramped but I think that's only because of the covid mindset, otherwise the atmosphere would have been ace if we...

Thanks so much to your wonderful front of house team member who I spoke with just over two weeks ago. I didn't have time to sample the restaurant that evening, but had spotted it as a popular and spotlessly clean venue earlier in the week....

I can’t fault this experience at all! Great cocktails to start with a real simple menu that minimises the anxiety of missing out. The corn ribs on special were a highlight starter alongside the kimchi. The bao’s were delicious, the mushroom shiitake takes the crown...

This is somewhere we come back to again and again, can't speak highly enough of it. Incredible food and drinks, the friendliest service and always a great atmosphere. It's the first place I ever suggest when asked for a restaurant recommendation in London. The bao...

Me, D, L and B for an evening in Tooting. L&B recommended and...WOW! What a recommendation. ALL the food was absolutely delicious. I mean ALL of it! Particularly the Szechuan Cucumber and the Chicken Poppers. My Negroni was wonderfully strong, the Rosarita specials also delightfully...

We were walking along the main street in Tooting looking for somewhere to eat. Although it was still early, 17.45, the tables were all booked. We were invited to sit at the bar. We were welcomed by very friendly staff who helped us with the...

We will be back! Baos were incredibly tasty ( with a nice selection to choose from) and the sweet potato fries&Kimchi really hit the ground the runnin. A great find !

Great setting, clean and friendly. Sat at the bar - bartender really engaging and pleasant. Food brilliant. Really enjoyed our visit

We spent 2 years living in Melbourne and fell in love with their ‘Asian-fusion’ dining scene. Missing baos and dumplings, we decided to give this place a go. It definitely didn’t disappoint! The atmosphere is great, decor is understated and modern, food is delicious and...

My wife and I went here for lunch as we wanted to try it for a while. We were not disappointed. The food we ordered was delicious and the service from the staff was fantastic. We will definitely be coming back!

Love this place. Plenty of atmosphere and delicious food. Highly recommend - no matter what you order, you can't go wrong.

been here a couple of times - Great restaurant, good lively (young) vibe, nice interior , great staff. I've not eaten Baos anywhere else so no comparisson but all the dishes i've had here have been winners.

Visited yesterday with friends and our lunch was PERFECT. All the expected COVID preparations to make you feel comfortable which was great. We ordered some pints of Asahi which was ice cold and seemed served in a frozen glass. All the food was excellent and...

Daddy Bao is a great place to go for some Taiwanese Bao Buns. They have a variety of flavours and they are all areally tasty. They have other foods as well, e.g. fries, gyoza etc... They serve great drinks as well, including Taiwanese beer. Best...

I’ve been here numerous times and have always been delighted with the service and the absolutely delicious food. The mushroom Bao and sweet potato are personal favourites and the cocktails are always fantastic. Great beer, amazing food and lovely staff, couldn’t recommend enough!

My partner and I went to Daddy Bao for dinner a few weeks ago and I was extremely impressed with everything from start to finish. When I rang to make the booking, I explained to the waiter that I had a bad back and asked...

Fantastic food! Would highly recommend! There wasn’t a table when we arrived, but they told us to go to a lovely bar just down the road and gave us a ring when one came free. Staff were very friendly.

A warm welcome at this buzzing Tooting gem. Really great service and delicious dishes. Loved the sweet potato fries, dumplings and all the specials, especially the fried green beans. Can’t wait to go back!

I went here on a Thursday night, it was relatively quiet at 6pm when I arrived but by the time I left at about 7.30pm it was heaving (possibly because of a recent feature in Time Out magazine). I am a vegetarian and the menu...

We tried a lot of items on the menu and menu and were NOT disappointed. The Pork Dumplings and Fried Chicken starters were excellent. The spiced Bean sauce was to die for. The sauce with the Edamame was slightly bitter and not to my taste...

Great fun, excellent service and amazing food. Fab for all occasions and all age groups. Definitely coming back again👌

Place is super cozy and warm...staff always available and friendly! Since I went the first time now is one of my favourite places! The food is very teasty and the baos are good with rich flavours. Highly recommended.

Between us had most things on the brunch menu - probably favs were the full Taiwanese, pork bao Benedict and mushroom Benedict. Passionfruit hollandaise was a bit sweet when paired with the sweet pork or sweet hoisin mushrooms, but the pork and mushrooms were among...

Cute little place in south food with very good food! the price and the quality of the food is excellent, I will definitely come back to try more baos!! Delicious

Family Birthday dinner last night - our first visit. Just fab. Delicious food, great cocktails, the service was extremely helpful, and the atmosphere was great. Had such a good time, I went back for lunch today with a friend. 5 stars no hesitation

Outstanding service, cool music, tasty vegan food and we got to try a new addition to the menu on the house! Cannot wait to come back and try the cocktails 😋

Stumbled across Daddy Bao one Sunday evening and we weren’t disappointed. Reading the menu we didn’t have a clue what the food was but it was the negroni on the drinks list that made us go in. We were not disappointed it was one of...

Went to Daddy Bao for lunch with our daughter. Lovely good value food and good service. Recommend the pork dumplings amongst others. The Royal bao brunch offering something special. Fusion food with a twist. The vegetarian offerings also tasty especially the shiitake mushrooms.

I have been wanting to try this place for ages and it was absolutely worth the wait! Great service, great atmosphere and fantastic food and drink. Their Bao Buns are exceptional, my favourite was the salmon, but we also tried the pork belly and the...

This place has quickly become my favourite place in tooting with some of the tastiest baos I’ve tried. The drunken prawn bao and the sesame aubergine were particularly delicious. The staff are great and the restaurant has a nice ambience. I look forward to many...

The tastiest most flavourful food I have ever had! Been a few times and food is always amazing! Lots if spicy things so if you don't like spice check the menu before you go. Would advise booking as it's always busy but food is fresh...

Came for a chilled dinner with a few friends. The food was delicious, staff were very friendly, and the atmosphere was upbeat but chilled. 10/10 !!!!!!!!!!!! Big fans of the pork belly bao

Daddy Bao is hands down one of my favourite restaurants - whenever we have an excuse for a nice meal out this is always my top choice. The food is always so fresh and delicious, and such a good range of things to choose from....

Visited here for a late brunch. Booking process was easy online and table was ready on arrival. We ordered several dishes between 3 of us and everything we had was delicious. We ordered off the normal menu, the specials menu and the brunch menu. The...

This was my second visit to Daddy Bao and they didn’t disappoint.. the cocktails were different which is great and the food was great tasting. I will be back for a third, fourth no no fifth time.

Time for our 4th restaurant visit in our alphabet challenge and this one did not disappoint! The booking process was a bit difficult as it took 2 days to get a booking which we eventually did via email. We visited at 7pm on a Friday...

Six of us had dinner at Daddy Bao on a Thursday evening. The process there is that you tick on a menu yourself what your order is. Our waiter told us we needed to write all 6’s orders on one piece of paper but we...

Went there with friends for the evening. We couldn’t book as they were busy so we had to leave our number so they could call us when a table became available. We waited for about 40 mins. When we were seated even though it was...

Not just Daddy Bao, Mister Bao and the youngest sister venue Master Bao in Westfield London are all amazing, super good food, nice service and always an impecable positive vibe from all the people involved in their operations. One of the best street / fast...

First visit to Daddy Bao. Such a cute setup! Lovely staff, amazing food and strong cocktails. Will defo be returning!

Funky little restaurant serving absolutely delicious ‘small plates’. The aubergine dish and pork bao were spectacular.

My wife and I frequently pass this hip little restaurant on our food shopping trips into Tooting (the Istanbul Food Gateway is an amazing food convenience store). It was only a matter of time before we'd succumb to its allure and give it a go...

We hadn’t booked but for a call 10 minutes later to let us know that a table was available. Lovely staff and lovely atmosphere. The food is really delicious and we will be back.

Really great place in tooting which is so local it’s convenient and one of the best places to eat in the area. Reasonably priced and great quality food plus fast service. Meal for two, several bao buns and a few starters to share £33.

Fantastic food that is delicious. Genuinely want to return the next day nice. Make sure you book first as it's popular.

I visited Daddy Bao over the past bank holiday weekend with a group of 3 friends. We ordered a mixture of food from both the brunch menu and the normal menu - a bao each and some things to share. We also added on an...

Came here for dinner with my partner and were seated quickly, make sure to book ahead if you want a bigger table as they were all reserved when we arrived. We had the fried chicken, sweet potato chips and dumplings to share - each came...

Recently visited for lunch with my husband. Staff was very polite and gave us good suggestions on the menu. Great drink options and the food was so delicious. The pork belly was very tender and the flavour combinations worked perfectly. Can’t wait to return!

Great restaurant for Tooting to have on the high street - impromptu visit on a Friday evening and exceeding all expectations. It was busy so we got a call half an hour later to come back but meant there was a good a vibe for...

Good little fast casual dining option in Tooting. I visited twice recently and enjoyed all the dishes on each occasion. Food comes out pretty fast and as it’s ready so it’s good to share although the baos themselves are best chosen as one or two...

Lovely food with great flavours. will definitely be back here. Very well priced and the beer was also tastey!

Have been here several times now and cannot recommend highly enough. The food is delicious and some of the best bao buns you’ll have! Would personally recommend the prawn one, which is great if you like something a bit spicier. Also well priced, and a...

Highly highly recommended. Daddy Bao is the tastiest food I have ever eaten. Great service and atmosphere. I will now be a regular. Also decent prices. Loved every second and bite.

We’ve been to the restaurant many times as we live locally - including opening night - and have always had great food and service. It seemed like the ideal place to celebrate my partners’ birthday. Not tonight. Firstly we did not receive all the food...

Realy good different oriental type tapas buns very cheap young friendly serevice good beer and cocktails very busy young tooting crowd worn a visit

The food is amazing and so reasonably priced. The staff are an absolute delight, can't recommend this place enough.

Terrific Taiwanese Baos- steamed milk rolls with extremely tasty fillings and good starters (sesame aubergine and pork dumplings). The Bao fillings are a delicious mixture of meat or prawns with vegetables and there are also veggie options. We had a great welcome from Mr Joe...

Discovered this place by accident and was pleasantly surprised! I’m vegetarian so only had the veggie baos- so moist, succulent and tasty!! The sweet potato fries and milky yen (?) were great too! Very friendly service to match. Will be back!!

Came across Daddy Bao’s while out with friends and blown away by the food - it’s amazing! Great atmosphere, super friendly staff and reasonably priced. Would highly recommend!

Visited Daddy Bao based of a friends recommendation, it did not disappoint! Food, cocktails and service all brilliant - great atmosphere and was heaving all night. Will definitely be back!

Daddy Bao is awesome, I can't stay away! Amazing bao buns, with a range of different specials to choose from. Must take a visit!

Daddy bao is definitely one to check out! With a well refined, mouthwatering menu anyone can find something to enjoy! Check out the Daddy Boa own brewed IPA too - goes beautifully with the Taiwanese cuisine. The staff are also very attentive and welcoming, which...

Delicious food, great staff. 1st time and ordered twice it was that good! Blown away, will be back!!

Really like this place, nice to be able to eat out in a fun a place with tasty food without it costing loads. We all had two buns, shared a few other plates, felt full and it came to £15ish each. happy days.

A lovely restaurant, contemporary decor with approachable staff. The food dishes in simple in design and quite tasty. The baps are AMAZING! The restaurant gets quite full as it obviously is a popular choice in Tooting.

We've been here numerous times since it first opened as it's a great spot and the staff are always very friendly. As a vegetarian, the mushroom and tofu bao are reallly good - however, more vegetarian choice is needed on the menu to bring back...

I went for dinner on a Tuesday night and was sat at the bar. Pretty much every table was taken, since I was alone I was happy to be at the bar. Nice atmosphere, good music. The menu isn’t that big but the manager gave...

The four stars are for the amazing flavour of the buns I had and the quick time in which they arrived. I got here around 12:30pm today and was served fairly quickly. I got the sesame aubergine starter and two baos: the mushroom and the...

Came here with my friend Max, we were sat very close to each other, so close we were touching knees at some points. I enjoyed this, but I'm not sure Max did. The fried chicken was excellent as were the dumplings but I'm afraid the...

A group of us went to daddy bao as we had heard about it and wanted to see what it was all about. Bao like clouds with Asian flavour that really punched you in the face. Just what we wanted and couldn’t recomend more!

Been planning to visit for far too long and finally made it for lunch today. Wow wow wow... Wish I'd not left it this long!! Incredible service with the menu options for lunch and brunch clearly explained and great recommendations made. We opted for 4...

I was there on Wednesday with my friends and loved the food, I cannot believe one person on these reviews actually had a bad experience but I guess they were disappointed after they ate all the food and complaint after so to get free dinner!...

My assumption was this place was going to consist of Bao and Bao only. But no I stand corrected! Although the 3 types of Bao we chose were outstanding the side dishes and accomplimenrs were possibly even better. Food is very fresh, service lovely/efficient and...

The food here is excellent and the restaurant has a great vibe. Staff are lovely, especially the manager Xavier. We had a small issue on our recent visit and he went above and beyond to rectify it - he really made our visit special. Thanks...

Phenomenal food, beautiful restaurant, I can not recommend this place enough! Just go and see for yourself!!

We had been recommended the restaurant and went to give it a try. It was an absolute surprise. Not only the food was amazing, but the twist with the cocktails and the superb service made of the evening an amazing experience. The sesame ice cream...
