Mr Bao

Mr Bao offers a fantastic Taiwanese-inspired menu of steamed milk buns, soft as pillows, wrapped around everything from pork belly to ice cream. The food is complemented by cocktails, beers and specialist aged teas brought in from Taiwan. The menu is succinct, with an extra board of specials on display each week. The dishes come as small tapas-style plates so it is suggested that you order two to three buns per person and then a couple of sides as well. There really are some great flavours to be discovered. Just a five minute walk from Peckham Rye overground station, Mr Bao is quietly tucked in among a string of shops on Rye Lane.

Went back to Mr Bao for the first time since Lockdown and it didn't disappoint! Everything was amazing but the delicious mushroom Baos remain my absolute top dish!

Everything about Mr Bao is amazing. The food. The service. The atmosphere. The decor. Favourite place to eat in south east London. Everyone must go! Exceptional value for money.

Really enjoyable evening at Mr Bao, especially liked the pork dumplings, kimchi, broccoli and tofu bao. And plenty of plum negronis!

Perfect vibe, lovely ambience and amazing staff who gave us sake on the house when they moved us tables. Was fully booked but never felt that we weren’t being completely looked after. Best bao buns I’ve had in south London. Highly recommend the special terryaki salmon.
