"Firmly established as one of the city’s most consistently reliable restaurant mini-chains, Bao’s expansion into Shoreditch felt like it had been a long time coming. Their Tainan-style rare beef rump noodle soup—pink rump beef slices bobbing in broth ready to be dunked in a bright orange soy yolk on the side—is a warming bowl, perfect for dreary midweek lunches. It’s a lovely minimalist space on the corner of Redchurch Street, ideal for solo slurping at the bar or something more sit-down." - team infatuation
