Must Try
Classic bao (pork belly). Fried chicken bao. The 40-day aged beef bao is incredible.
Best Time
Off-peak hours - the queue at peak times is legendary. Turnover is fast though.
Know Before You Go
The original BAO that started the London bao craze. No reservations. The queue is real but moves quickly. Multiple locations now but Soho is the original.
