We were craving Asian food and decided to see what was around Battersea Park, so out of curiosity we ended up trying BAO Battersea. We were simply looking for a place to eat and did not have particularly high expectations. Once we sat down and properly looked at the menu, everything changed. We ordered a selection of bao together with two noodle dishes, and the food was absolutely fantastic. The short ribs beef bao was sensational. The meat was incredibly tender, rich and full of flavour, perfectly balanced inside a soft and fluffy bun. It was honestly one of the best bao I have ever had. We

It was tasty the first time we visited several months ago. Today the queue was staggering but the restaurant was half empty. After a wait of 25 minutes all the queues suddenly disappeared. I am not at all sure why the queue was cleared in such a strange manner. Was it because they wanted to create a queue in front as part of the marketing? This time we were really hungry but alas the food quality deteriorated. The beef spare rib noodle was just too oily and the beef taste so weird. The beef bun was very nice though. The service was quick. This I must commend. Will I queue again for 25 min

Me and my brother were seated quickly and immediately received fantastic service. Upon mentioning halal as my dietary restriction, the waitress offered me a separate halal menu, widening my choices from vegetarian & fish to include halal chicken dishes too. The food arrived in good time and was extremely tasty. It can get a little cramped, however the food and service makes it worth the visit. Will for sure be dining here again.

It was just OK. The chicken nothing special. Duck bao a bit tasteless. Beef noddles not sure if it was wagyu meat as ordered but it was raw and I wasn't expecting it like that, special dishes menu doesnt say so. Broth was lukewarm. Service a bit slow, narrow seats. Music a bit loud and repetitive.
