Creative Taiwanese bao and noodles in a cool Battersea Power Station setting with lively service energy, great flavors, app-based ordering, and occasional delays; strong value for small plates but mind portion sizes and queue times.
BAO Battersea delivers strong food quality with creative Taiwanese bao and noodles that earn consistent praise, and the iconic Power Station setting adds genuine appeal. However, inconsistent execution during peak service and recent undercooked chicken reports prevent a higher grade. The restaurant excels in flavor and friendliness but falls short of the reliability expected at grade A level.
One caveat: Portions can feel small for the price, especially small plates and some noodle bowls
