BAO Soho

About

BAO Soho offers an authentic Taiwanese dining experience in London’s vibrant Carnaby district. Famous for their steamed milk buns and creative dishes like fried chicken bao and confit pork, this cozy establishment combines traditional flavors with modern innovation. Their signature pork belly confit, slow-cooked to perfection and served in a pillowy steamed bao with peanut powder and fermented greens, has become one of London’s most sought-after dishes.

The restaurant’s Taiwanese fried chicken, another standout menu item, is marinated in soy milk before being double-fried to achieve a perfectly crispy exterior while maintaining juicy tenderness inside. Served with hot sauce and white pepper, it exemplifies BAO’s masterful blend of traditional Taiwanese techniques with contemporary presentation.

Since opening in 2015, BAO Soho has maintained its reputation for these signature dishes, drawing constant queues of food enthusiasts eager to experience their take on Taiwanese classics. The attention to detail in dishes like the pork belly confit and Taiwanese fried chicken has earned them recognition from the Michelin Guide and established them as a benchmark for Taiwanese cuisine in London.
