BAO Soho London Reviews from The Last Year
Bao time
The baos were good and authentic. Anyone who has ever been to the night market in Taipei will be a little disappointed. Nevertheless, the food was good and the staff were friendly.
Still pricey, with added cheek when getting the bill
Still a 12.5% service charge (even if you get seated on a little stool at a counter), but now they present the bill expecting you to scan a QR code linking to a 3rd party site that charges its own fee ON TOP OF the service charge. The "crispy noodle chips" at £2.75 are crunchy nothingness, a waste of money. The 33cl £5.60 beer was out of stock - the alternative was £6.70 (equivalent of £11.53 a pint - wow)
Best Bao in London
We dropped in for a light lunch, this is a small venue filled with a lot of energy and amazing food. The servers forgetting our glasses and one of our bao is the only reason this is not a 5 star review.......the food is definitely 5 star. I can't recommend this place highly enough for a lunch that's l slightly different.....
Amazing food, friendly staff
Brilliant food, really interesting and inventive. More importantly for us though, the guy that served us (Mike, I think) was really helpful and friendly and didn’t make a couple of tourists like us feel stupid or intimidated, like some London restaurants can. Will definitely be back next time we’re in the capital.
Best BAO in London
This is the best restaurant in town to get BAO. It is very small and you should either make a reservation or be patient and wait in line.
We stopped on our walk by and it did not disappoint.
Great service and the confit & fried chicken boa buns were off the charts good. Great time.
Cozy
Cozy atmosphere great food and drinks Mike was really friendly and patient Love the chicken And the beef bao. Good location as well.
Birthday treat and what a treat!
A must anticipated and planned visit to this compact and bejoux eatery. Delicious tasty treats served quickly and professionally. The space, tables and dishes are small but ideal. The occasion was magnified by the presentation of a complimentary Horlicks Bao as a birthday treat. Thank you to one and all at BAO. Keep up the great work.
Buns are one of my favorite foods in the world so
Buns are one of my favorite foods in the world so expectations were high. I was still blown away! There's often a line outside and the interior is small so it can feel a little hectic, but it's a really beautiful space that also feels trendy. We came in a party of two on a weeknight and they were able to squeeze us immediately, with that caveat that we had to leave within an hour for another party's reservation. We ordered 3 buns to share between the two of us and we immediately ordered more. The confit pork was extravagant. Soft and absolutely melt in your mouth. It's like they took all the best qualities of a traditional pork belly bun and put it together. The party next to us was halal and they had a little trouble ordering because all the fried items are fried in the same oil.
I cannot recommend Bao highly enough.
The food was amazing, the staff was friendly and provided recommendations, and I left feeling satisfied and that I'd gotten my money's worth. We tried a lot more than what is pictured here, but we couldn't stop eating long enough to take the pictures.
This is a very small, intimate place in the SoHo district.
Walking in the staff was extremely friendly and we were immediately seated. Our waiter reviewed the menu with us and gave us great suggestions. I filled out the little order form and handed it to our waiter. In total, we ordered the scallop appetizer along with the confit pork, fried chicken and braised beef bao buns with a side of sweet potato chips that came with an interesting plum pickle ketchup. As a tea lover, I couldn't resist ordering the 10-year aged Oolong tea as I've never had an aged tea. The order came out in less than 10 minutes and so we dug in. The scallop appetizer was really tasty with a nice char on the outside. Each of the bao buns themselves were so soft and just melted in my mouth. The filings for each were super flavorful. The confit pork and braised beef were very tender and packed a flavor punch. The friend chicken was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The sweet potato chips (fries) were nice and crispy, and the plum pickle ketchup provided was a nice change from a regular tomato ketchup. As for the 10-year aged Oolong tea, it has an earthier taste than most Oolongs I've tasted. It was worth trying just for my own personal knowledge. Overall, this is a great place to grab a quick, light bite while in the SoHo district but take note that the establishment is very small and not good for large groups.
Excellent spot for lunch
Excellent spot for lunch, do a great lunch deal on weekdays, Bao 15, where you can select a bao bun, a small dish and a larger dish just for £15. All the food was delicious, excellent service, would definitely reccomend.
Order something you’re not sure about
The bao here is wonderful, and you should definitely order some, but you will be rewarded with some exciting flavours if you stray into their xiao chi (small plate) menu. We didn’t wait long to be seated at the bar, and from there things are snappy and efficient
Great Bao !!
This is a lovely intimate Bao restaurant. The service is perfect and the food great. Excellent Taiwan beer to accompany your food too ! We shared the following but the menu changes on a regular basis: Aubergine Wonton, Trotter Nuggets (delicious), Rump Cap and Lamb Uyghur both perfect. As for the confit pork !! Thanks for a great well priced for the location lunch.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Just got scammed!
Thats unfortunate but you can always get your money back if they cancel the reservation.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
