    We enjoyed everything about this restaurant— food, service, and the air conditioning. Will be back.

    Very disappointed in my experience at Bao Food was poor( Prawn toast a gooey mess) for the prices being charged . Busy but lack of air conditioning made the experience uncomfortable. Does not live up to the hype and is a poor imitation of some of the better offers in this genre in the WC

    We really enjoyed the food but found it quite pricey. Also we didn’t realise that dishes would be coming out two at a time, so my husband couldn’t have anything of the first two - doesn’t eat seafood, and my daughter nothing of the last two as she doesn’t eat red meat. 6 dishes between the 3 of us was sufficient but the timing was off. Taste was excellent and our waiter was very attentive.
