Reviews
First time there and would definitely come back to try more of their dishes. Ordered the shiitake bao and drunken prawn bao and the vegan kimchi pancake & sweet corn salsa, mapo beans & hash browns, smacked cucumber and the sticky BBQ corn ribs. I was disappointed with the prawn bao as there wasn't enough filling inside to balance the prawns, and the prawns were bland. The hashbrown in the mapo beans dish didn't add much to the dish itself and became soggy after a short while. The seasoning in that dish lacked something. The kimchi pancakes were ok but lacked the spiciness and particular flavour of the kimchi. I'd say this was more cabbage pancakes. The shiitake bao was however really tasty and I wish I had ordered two. The smacked cucumber, a very simple dish, was really refreshing and really spot-on in terms of flavour. I also appreciated the corn although perhaps a bit hard to eat if you're feeling lazy. We had a good loose-leaf oolong tea served in this nice tea pot. Service was very good and everyone was friendly. At the time we went, the restaurant wasn't too busy and the atmosphere was on the quieter side which is much appreciated on a Sunday.
Really delicious food so no wonder it’s always packed!! We were lucky enough to grab the bar table as walk ins but highly recommend to book. Although we only tried a cocktail (which was delicious) the drink options all looked impressive with a wide array of Japanese spirits and sakes. The pancake and cucumber starters were a 10/10 would definitely order again and the bao buns especially the tofu one (with a fluffy texture rather than the usual tofu texture) was one of the best we’d ever had in London. Must try spot if you’re vegan/veggie! Service a little slow so if you come in hungry expect a little wait to order due to how busy it is but very friendly.
Adored my lunch at Mr Bao! Good prices, great menu, and lovely to sit outside and watch the girl go by. Special mention goes to the Corn Ribs and the Tofu Bao 🤤 The kimchi and sweetcorn pancake had an amazing flavour but not as crispy as it could have been. Thank you so much! Can’t wait to come back 🫶🏼
Food was very tasty & reasonably priced. The dessert was a let down and not enough drink options.
It's a fusion restaurant that mix the element of a bar & Taiwan food. The restaurant is full of local people, which proves that it's tatics works. I really enjoyed the buns and that recall my memories of those delicious Taiwan food. And the vibre of the restaurant is really nice. I definitely will recommend Mr Bao to people that wish to have nice chat with friends in a setting different from traditional bar.
