A sleek, white-tiled Taiwanese canteen buzzing with Shoreditch energy, offering interactive noodle bowls and a dedicated karaoke room downstairs.
Ordering Strategy
Use the tick-box menu to order a few 'xiao chi' (small plates) like the tripe or dumplings to share, then a noodle bowl each (choose between the light Rump or rich Taipei broth). Finish with a classic or dessert bao.
What to order
Rare Beef Rump Noodle
Referenced as the Tainan-style broth, this light beef soup is a signature interactive experience served with a 400-day-aged soy-cured egg specifically for noodle-dipping.
Taipei-Style Beef Noodle
Described as a 'super-indulgent hug in a bowl,' this richer option features a deep broth spiced with beef butter and generous, 'flaky chunks of beef cheek and short rib.'
Crispy Tripe
A standout 'xiao chi' (small plate) that critics have been 'raving about,' served with a fresh spring onion dip that wins over even those who don't usually order offal.
Prawn Croquette BAO
Singled out as 'the winner' among the new bun options, featuring cod's roe tartare and a 'liberal use' of black garlic glaze.

Good to know
There is a bookable karaoke room downstairs. The vibe is fast-paced and functional, typical of the BAO group. Solo diners fit in well at the counters.
