Bao, Taiwanese restaurant in Soho, London, GB.
Bao is a Taiwanese restaurant in Soho offering steamed buns filled with meat and vegetables, served with traditional Taiwanese side dishes and drinks. The menu centers on these classic buns and the supporting dishes that complete the Taiwanese dining experience.
The restaurant started as a street food stall at local markets before opening a permanent location in Soho in 2015. These roots in Taiwan's street food culture continue to shape the concept and preparation methods.
The restaurant shows how Gua Bao is made: soft steamed buns with marinated meat according to Taiwanese cooking techniques. The way these buns are filled and served reflects the eating culture found on Taiwan's streets.
The restaurant sits in an accessible location in the heart of London's Soho and is easy to reach on foot. It is small and can get busy during peak hours, so arriving early or booking ahead is recommended.
Every dish is prepared with house-made sauces and locally sourced ingredients finished with Taiwanese spices. This mix of local English products and authentic Taiwanese flavors creates something that is neither fully local nor fully traditional.
