Tom J.Tom Joseph: Good food but expect to queue. The classic and confit pork bao are the best in my opinion and the aubergine wonton is also good. The fried chicken with hot sauce packs a punch

JennyJenny: Fried chicken bao is a must try! Ask for extra spicy sauce if you want and they let us sample the peanut milk before ordering 👍

Nikita K.Nikita Ka: Fried chicken bao is the best! We also tried the duck hearts which were a daily special and they were really yummy. The other Bao are great too but the classic was my least favourite
