Bao Borough Market’s Bun Restaurant and Karaoke Room Please Food Critic | Eater London

"A food-truck-turned-restaurant (complete with a food truck on site) that serves unapologetically bold, joyfully unrestrained dishes: fish tacos of sashimi-grade tuna are elegant, punchy and virtuous-sized mouthfuls; shrimp arrives atop a sticky puddle of ground cornmeal grits with a bourbon sauce that turns it into a boozy, buttery mess; chips with mussel-and-bacon chowder are an outrageous, joyous comfort; and desserts such as a dark, gooey chocolate brownie with thick cream and sprinkles or a sultana-studded brioche-and-butter pudding in vanilla custard keep the playful tone. The cooking is not subtle or poised, but it is big on flavour, huge on joy, and served by staff who clearly care, making for a very appealing, feel-good meal." - George Reynolds
