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.

We dined there on 02/04/2022. The food was cold and inedible. Everything was tasteless. When I complained the chef came to the table and was very abrupt and aggressive. Don’t go there.

I visited Bills on Brewer street with a friend who has PTSD, along with his service dog. My friend is a carnivore, and I’m a vegetarian. We left very happy. I called ahead to let them know we would be bringing a service dog, so could do with some extra space away from customers, and was assured it would not be a problem. Sure enough the staff were kind enough to let us sit towards the back of the restaurant (where it was quieter) and take any available table (despite there being only two of us and the comfortable tables ranging from 6-10 seats!) to allow the dog room and my friend the comfort of having his back to the wall. This was partly down to luck as there is of course no way to guarantee that the tables would have been available, but all the staff, from the manager to the table service, were extremely accommodating. While I always think restaurants need a wider range of vegetarian options, and Bills is no exception, what was on offer was good. The food arrived very quickly (I had the halloumi salad, which was fresh, and my friend had steak with chips and eggs, perfectly cooked), and the staff stayed attentive without being overbearing. My friend and I were surprised by how much we enjoyed the place, as even when the tables around us started to fill up the restaurant maintained a good atmosphere that wasn't too overbearing for my friend and the dog. Two very happy customers who will be coming back thanks to the impeccable service.

Another great pre theatre meal

We often visit Bill's before heading off to the theatre and it never disappoints. Good food, friendly waitresses and quick service make it a great experience.
