BAO Soho

BAO Soho is a small restaurant in Soho, London that serves Taiwanese-style bao and milk tea. The classic bao fills a steamed bun with beef, peanut powder, and vegetables, and diners also order the chicken bao and sweet potato fries alongside it. On weekday evenings around 6:30, staff put you on a wait and send entry by text, and you must reply to the text within 10 minutes. The bao are small, so ordering just one is closer to an appetizer than a meal.
