· The West End
BAO Marylebone delivers creative Taiwanese small plates and bao buns in a lively, casual setting, but small portions and inconsistent service may frustrate some diners.
The verdict
BAO Marylebone delivers solid casual dining with strong food quality in signature bao and fried chicken, but inconsistent execution and variable service attentiveness prevent a higher grade. The playful modern design and karaoke feature make it an excellent group destination, though tight seating and portion-to-price concerns limit broader appeal for casual diners seeking comfort or value.
One caveat: Small portion sizes relative to price are a frequent complaint—order accordingly.
What to order
