The original Bao on Lexington Street that launched a cult following for Taiwanese steamed buns and small plates in London. The classic bao with braised pork, peanut powder and fermented greens is a must, alongside the fried chicken and the horlicks ice cream. Queues are a fixture; arrive at opening or expect a wait.
