"A quaint little restaurant serving northern Chinese dishes, keeping the decor very traditional with it's dark wooden tables and stools, windows and door frames. This was contrasted by the large use of red decorations such as lanterns and firecrackers. Walls were filled artwork showing a huge support to the communism revolution which was a bit shocking. It was a peaceful atmosphere, nice and dark bringing you out the hustle and bustle of Chinatown. It can be a bit too quiet at lunch and the cold service doesn't help and might be off putting to some. However during dinner hours the place is rammed and you often see a queue forming. Three sliver salad Consisted off bean thread noodles, carrots and seaweed which was what gave it that lovely crunchy texture. It was dressed in a lovely fragrant marinade made primarily of sesame oil and a mild chilli oil that gave it the complex flavour which made it very addictive to eat. House special baozi (pork) A very well made bun, milky and fluffy in texture and generously filled with grounded pork inside. The flavours were very balanced and the addition of onions in the pork is what gave it that lovely caramelised sweetness agaisnt the umami flavours. There was the other option of a vegetable bun but we stuck with the traditional pork. Chengdu dumplings in chilli oil and a garlicky sauce One of the finest dumplings in Chinatown won by the thinnest of the pastry and the generous aromatic pork filling. It was incredible, especially the delicate silky texture of the dumpling skin against my tongue before biting into it to release the juices and umami flavours of the meatball. I love the added greens in the meatball to give it more depth and flavour and the garlic chilli oil just boosted the flavours further and added a good kick of heat to it. Fried egg and tomato noodles A very light noodle dish offering a clear fragrant chicken broth with a lovely sweet egginess to it leaked out by the juices of the perfectly fried egg, that's still springy and silky smooth in texture. There was an abundance of sliced tomato to give it some nice mild citrus notes. They were also generous with the egg noodles which were lovely and bouncy. Sichuanese spicy beef noodle soup A much more rich and warming soup noodle dish that was incredibly good for it's price. The soup was rich with complexity from the herbs and beef stock in there, packed full of flavour with a good mild heat in there to make things more exciting. Seasoning was perfect which was hard to believe as many places in Chinatown has even had it too watered down or too salty. Beef were tender with bits of fat attached giving it more umami and egg noodles were cooked to al dente perfection. I do very much love Baozi Inn as it is good decent food at very reasonable prices. It's a place suitable for a quick bite or a meal with friends and so you find both the single diners and the slightly larger groups. The place is small though and can be quite offensive to some to do not support communism. The only thing that let me down was the service, the poor manners, abruptness and coldness from the short hair lady staff but lucky the food made up for it."

I had the pork in chili and it was too salty for me and not spicy enough. I thought the food was just okay. The winter special was cheap tho and came with 3 appetizers. Pics of menus attached.

Very expensive and ok food for the amount you get. There are probably better bao and chinese food places in london in general, but on a crowded saturday night, this might be one of the only places with seating. I was a fan of the dan dan noodles though, I think they did the sauce very well and had a strong peanut flavor.

[Pre-COVID post] Came here just for the lamb skewers, which did not disappoint! We also tried the stewed beef shin rice, which was also good and made me feel like I was eating beef soup with daikon radish because it was very soupy. The place was packed and we fortunately did not have to wait longer than 15 minutes for a table. Visualizza piatti

The skewers were really quite nice. Flavour was perfect and just enough spice and numbness to the spice! I loved how every skewer tasted perfectly and it 's just one of those things that are hard to find these days. It would have easily been a 5 star joint for the skewers alone BUT for like £7 for 5 skewers, that 's quite some healthy margin considering that makes it £1.5 for 2 fish balls or £2 for beef tribe which is almost free from western butchers!

We came to this restaurant after reading a much hyped review in Time Out...and were sorely disappointed. The food was just barely edible and overpriced especially considering what you can get in Chinatown for much less. The bao tasted as though they had been frozen and reheated. The Chongqiing noodles I ordered were so heavily spiced that I couldn't get through a few mouthfuls and listen, I handle spice, but this type of spice wasn't even delicious. We won't be coming back! That said, the place seemed very clean was playing trendy music.

Four stars for the food which was amazing and cheap! We ordered pork baozi and I ate a full bowl of sichuanese beef noodles soup which was supposed to be super spicy but it wasn't It was good and you feel really full after it! And it's really cheap for good Chinese food in London BUT the service was really bad !!! The waitress was not nice, made me wait outside winter time... because our group wasn't complete and she didn't want me to reserve the table !!! Not the best to attract customer... Except that food and decoration is nice ! I recommande it if you're looking for cheap and good food Visualizza piatti

Utilized a Lonely Planet book and found this in the heart of Chinatown/SoHo in London. There was a wait outside the restaurant but luckily with a party of two we were able to get in faster. We ordered a spicy beef noodle soup, pork dumplings, vegetable chicken noodle soup, and spinach with ginger appetizer all for around £30 which isn't bad since we left full! Food was good except the beef noodle soup had lots of fat on the meet but they put a lot of meet into the soup! Definitely would recommend this restaurant for Chinese! Get there early and make sure you have cash on you. Also the staff is pretty upfront and straight forward with you so don't expect your waiters to get friendly.

A friend and I were exploring Chinatown on a Sunday and came here for lunch since I was craving Chinese food. We arrived around noon, just as the restaurant was opening, and were the first customers there. The restaurant was a little tricky to find, as it 's in an alley off the main Chinatown roads, and the name Baozi Inn wasn 't written in English anywhere outside; however, my GPS was able to locate it. The inside of the restaurant was bigger than I thought, with 2 rooms of seating. The menu had both English and Chinese. Tea is £1.50 per person, but tap water was free. My friend and I each ordered a house special baozi (filling options that day were pork and vegetarian). We split the pork l...
