The Bao is definitely watering your mouth, I tried the peking duck and beef. Fluffy texture bao. Taiwanese beef noodle soup is ok, tastes good, and noodle texture is also nice. The So Bao BBQ is an exemption. Their portion is massive. I would say its more for shares. Glaze tofu just ordinary taste, nothing special. I use the first table voucher anyway, so it's way more cheaper. If it's normal, the price will be quite pricey.Service needs to improve, bit wait for the mains. Place are quite small, and noisy.

We dined in here on Saturday night and YUM! Probably some of the best food I've received from a restaurant in a long time. The waitress was lovely and whilst the food did take a while to come because the chef was training, he did extremely well! Was a lovely experience but straws for the drinks would be amazing!

Ordered 3 bao buns, and 2 skewers, pork rice, burger, coke and a beer. Peking duck in bao was delicious, have had it before and will order again. Pork rice is another favourite. Burger and fries were good aswell, server was very friendly and service was fast. Was disappointed the steak was no longer on the menu. The food here is very worth it at its price

Absolutely love the food! Authentic Taiwanese cuisine. The Roast tomato and miso ramen, the Narutomen and the Taiwanese Beef Noodle soup are MUST HAVES. The baos are also delicious and the Lu Rou Fan melts in your mouth.

Soooo yummy. Such good bao, my favourites are the beef and duck bao. Cheeseburger is juicy but not overly oily, and it comes with a generous serving of fries. The beef tataki is crazily delicious and great value for a beef dish. The interior is really clean and the host is really accomodating to allergies as well. Definitely becoming a regular here.

was just at the so bao food truck today and ordered 3 bao. Before I got to eat the last bao, a gust of wind blew it onto the floor. I was rly upset but then one of the staff members at the truck must have seen it happen and brought over a new one ! it made my day especially since today was actually my birthdayto sum it up, good food and nice staff !!

After reading the great reviews I had high expectations for the Taiwanese beef noodles but it fell short, tasting very different from what I’ve had in Taiwan. The noodles had a strange texture like they were frozen before, and the soup’s flavour was too heavy on the chilli oil. I love this chilli paste by the way, but it was a bit too much for this dish. It would be great if the server can inform customers about the spice level of the dish when they are ordering because not everyone can take this level of spice.The meat was good though, and customer service was ok. I would come back but only for something else, maybe the 包’s (baos, the namesake of the place) or 卤肉饭 (pork on rice starter).

Delicious and quality food! We highly recommend trying the chicken wings, they are one of a kind! The thaiwanese beef noodles were also amazing. The noodles had a sweet yet subtle spicy taste. And the bao buns were amazing - as per usual!Customer service is always great here too.

Delicious Bao, noodles, and barbecue. Great size, but they need time to get them ready.
