We don’t really have many bao bun places like this back in the US. For being a somewhat fast food type of service, these buns were very good! Jackfruit had a lot of flavor, loved the crispness of the tofu, and the sauces only added to the overall flavor of the buns.

I have always loved this place. A few times maybe it didn't hit the wow I know and love. But it wouldn't stop me returning, as when on point it is amazing. And so worth it.

I am frequent eater at Bao Bun in Botanic. The food is amazing, however the service is slow if they have online orders in and do not prioritise customers who are standing in front of them. Apart from that the food is amazing!

I've spent some time in Taiwan, and the bao buns here really bring back memories of this wonderful street food. The meal deals are great, and the bizarre but welcome addition of Canadian poutine is a real treat.

Delicious Bao. The tofu and cauliflower were fantastic. The ‘hot’ combo is very spicy! The meal deal was very generous. The fries were crunchy and delicious. Great veggie/vegan and gluten free options!

The meal deals are very convenient, the food tastes very fresh and fragrant, I had the Pork bao bun with House dressing (SZechuan, Asian slaw and crunchy shallots), with fries poutine and a drink for 12.25£, a very filling meal! I got it take away, but there are a few tables to dine in as well. I recommend it!

We got a deliverly so i cant really talk about the store experience but the food was delicious! It was a 1st having bao bun and we ordered both the bbq pork (loved the peanuts!) and sweet and spicey chicken. Both bao's we lovely, great flavours and portions with fresh ingredients! My other half thought the poutine fries were lovely, personal preference the gravy was a bit too strong for me and the popcorn chicken was dry. This will defo not put us off going back though and we can't wait to get down and get another delicious bao!

Very good. I have to admit my ignorance for Taiwanese food but the staff behind the counter were happy to answer questions and explain what was on offer. We had a bao bun with pulled jack fruit (delicious) and a crunchy salad. Then chips, loaded with salad, crispy gorgeous chicken pieces and plenty of aioli. All very tasty food, with a bit of a kick but not too much. Not a bad price either. We sat in and had plenty of space. My only worry was the food was not particularly warm. Really nice we place to grab lunch to go or sit and enjoy new foods.
