BAO Borough

With an inviting ordering system that takes pen and paper to a whole new level, this Far Eastern fusion food spot provides a strategic respite for market-goers. The atmosphere is lively and somewhat cramped, yet bustling with energy, thanks in part to the friendly and attentive staff who manage the compact space efficiently. Famous for their bao buns, the menu showcases culinary highlights such as the prawn and chicken baos, curry cheese buns, and aged steak with butter rice. A separate takeaway counter offers a quick escape for those eager to savor delights like fried chicken bao or a sweet ice cream-filled bao on the go. Despite the delicious offerings, portions are modest, prompting diners to treat it more like tapas, allowing them to explore a variety of flavors. Hidden below the main floor is an enticing karaoke venue, boasting an impressive song selection, making it perfect for groups looking to mix dining with entertainment.
