Good baos

Tasty buns and fries for a reasonable price and in a good quantity. Vegan options clearly described.

Very Average

I ordered the mushroom walnut baos (and got to sample the popcorn cauliflower) along with the spiced fries, the buns themselves were adequate, the fillings left a lot to be desired. All in all, quite a disappointing experience and I won’t be rushing back anytime soon.

This is great!

We loved this little place! Super tasty tofu bao buns. The chips on the side was a fun option.

Pros: The bbq sauce with tofu bao buns

Clearly marked vegan options. The cauliflower bao was delicious and the perfect size for a lunch.

Perfect for a snack

We never tried something like Bao Buns before, so we had the one with Tofu and didn't regretted it. It was delicious and some kind of exotic. But be aware if you don't like coriander, because some disches contain it.

Pros: friendly staff, vegan labeling

Cons: dishes contain coriander

Lots of combinations

Choice of rice or bao with plenty of vegan components to combine together - almost too hard to pick haha!

Got the meal deal which came with an insane amount of chips... No bad thing😄

Pros: Vegan options clearly listed, Helpful staff, Freshly put together

Cons: Meal deal a little expensive, No toilets or handwash basin

Great fast food

Baobun is great. Staff are knowledgeable about ingredients. I love the choices and most importantly, taste. Lovely atmosphere in a very small setting.

Pros: Friendly staff, Good choices

Delicious bao, good value

I spent a few days in Belfast for a course and ate here twice because I enjoyed it so much. Really flavoursome bao fillings and customisable combinations of fillings and sauces etc.

Favourite fast food

This is a pretty unique concept as far as I’ve seen across the UK/Ireland. Fresh, tasty and doesn’t feel like you’re eating fast food. The tofu is always crispy and the katsu fries are definitely a highlight.

Many vegan options

Had a takeaway. All vegan options clearly labeled. All bases are vegan. I oredered tofu bao buns with extra tofu, asian slaw and small kimchi. Tofu was slightly bland but buns itself with the filling very tasty. Once mixed with kimchi and slaw very nice. Helpful and friendly staff and reasonable prices. Great quick meal.

Lisburn road branch

Lots of vegan options. I had bao buns. You get two in a portion. I had a tofu one with hot toppings and a jackfruit one with BBQ toppings. Both so delicious I could have eaten it all over again. Hubby's salad and chips were yum too. Other vegan options include salad, rice and a walnut filling. Seems to be BYO too. Located beside blend and batch on the Lisburn road where we were actually headed🤭

Pros: Clearly labelled vegan options, Quick service, Tasty and fresh

Cons: Lisburn road branch not yet listed

Decent food

I wasn’t super impressed with the service, it was rather slow, or how it wasn’t clear what was vegan. Having to ask was complicated by the volume of the music right by the counter. The fries portion was huge but cold. It’s a fast food place so nowhere special to sit. Almost everything they use to serve food is disposable with no recycling. But the boa was nice. I would go back but for takeaway and adjusted expectations.
