BAO London
Our Review By Hero Traveler @elizabetheverywhere
For the best bao buns of your life, you have to visit BAO in London. I’m somewhat of a bao bun connoisseur, and while I’ve yet to try a bun I didn’t like, this Michelin rated Taiwanese restaurant really takes the cake. BAO has three London locations – BAO Soho, BAO Fitzrovia, and the BAO Bar.
Taiwanese Fried Chicken
The restaurants have simple interiors, with seats around the bar and along the windows, keeping the max capacity to around a few dozen patrons at a time. The menu lists large and small plates along with buns, and even though it is limited, everything is delicious. Last time I went to BAO Fitzrovia, I got the kale salad to start, which was so good. After that, I had the Taiwanese fried chicken, which was absolutely incredible (and a must order if you visit). For my buns, I chose the Confit, Classic, and Shortrib buns – and they were all great.

The menu also features a number of really cool drink options (both alcoholic and nonalcoholic). This is a restaurant that I love to taking visitors to when they come to London because it’s really delicious and unique.
