Daddy Bao

Yay what a beautiful place, the atmosphere is so warm, welcoming and with hints of authenticity, a truly charming restaurant. The staff so friendly and attentive faultless service from beginning to end. The food you get to order using these lovely kinda takeaway menus where you check the boxes of what you want to order really unique. The food arrives as it’s ready and when it arrives OH MY GOODNESS everything was stunning, flavours in every dish was perfect. I honestly can’t remember the last time I was so surprised by how good every dish tasted. All very reasonably priced. This is a destination for a great meal. Cannot fault or recommend more highly.

Love a restaurant that know what they are doing in & out! Had no plans to go but it was a sunny afternoon and the café opposite had a lengthy process of QR code scanning n ordering. Cut to we see this place and run across the street. Only customers so get greeted by a friendly Carina, who had the entire menu learnt to the T. She gave us a sheet with all the dishes and asked us to just tick whatever we liked. Good vegetarian options. Quick service and the Shiitake Mushroom Bao is a must!!! Trust me the softest and yummiest bao’s I have ever tasted. The Pao Pao drink was nice. And the Caesar salad was also delish! We paid 30£ for two people. 2 starters 2 Bao’s 2 drinks! Highly recommend!!!

I have been wanting to go to Daddy Bao for years and it did not disappoint. Their espresso martini was fantastic and a really good price. We had the fried chicken which was amazing, and the chicken dumplings where so nice too. I then had the pork belly and prawn katsu bao which had so many different textures and flavours. I would highly recommend this! Can’t wait to return.

What a lovely place! Small, cool restaurant in Tooting with Taiwanese food, with a super kind staff. The most important part though, the food was great! Portions are small so you need to order around 3 or 4 per person. Me and my partner tried the fried chicken waffle with pickled onion and cucumber... This was so tasty and good. Then we tried the different bao buns, beef brisket, fried chicken and prawn. The best ones were the beef brisket, they come with some slaw and they taste amazing. The chicken ones are also great, but a bit spicier (it comes with Wasabi mayo). My partner had the prawn one, which she said was very good. For dessert we had the sesame ice cream waffle with some orange marmalade on top... incredible!! In total we ordered: 3 beef brisket baos, 1 prawn bao, 2 fried chicken baos, 2 fried chicken waffles and one sesame ice cream waffle and we paid £52 in total with service included (no drinks). Really affordable and totally worth the money. What a nice place this turned out to be, we are not very close to Tooting but we'll definitely be coming back because this place ticks all the boxes.

We booked a last minute meal on a Tuesday night with the girls and we absolutely loved everything from food to drinks to atmosphere. We had a great night and I would definitely recommend it. Be aware that the dishes are quite small so order lots and order to share so you can try everything. The Korean chicken is my absolute favourite dish on that menu 😍
