Bao's Taiwanese Burger

We stopped to get a night snack in Porto and my husband decided to buy the burger here. It was his first time eating a Taiwanese burger. For him, it was ok. The price is also reasonable.

We ordered a couple of vegan baos (jack and tofu), mandioca chips and beer. For finishing a Nutella cheesecake. Recommended!

Bao’s is one of my favourite places in Porto. I’ve been a customer for years, specially through takeaway and delivery. But lately, the quality is just not the same. No restaurant should serve food like this, the bread completely overcooked, ripped apart and I also ordered my favourite dessert, the black sesame ice cream and the bread was also overcooked and dry, it was terrible. Please do better!

From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed. The food was fantastic. Some of the best cheese fries and softshell crab I've eaten in Portugal so far! When we sat down, they brought my dog a bowl of water and a plate of snacks which were only for the dog and not to be eaten by us although they smelled good enough to eat!

I tried the vegan tofu bao. As an idea, it was great. As for the taste it definitely fell short - the tofu was unseasoned and not firm to be placed in a burger/bao. The mango sauce was the dominant element of the dish. I could barely taste the onions or the daikon. The staff are friendly and welcoming.

I ordered from here twice as a takeaway and tried the beef noodles and tantan men, both classic Taiwanese dishes. For a spot in Porto, halfway across the world from Taiwan, the food is impressively authentic—it really felt like being in Taipei. Highly recommended for everyone but especially for East Asian travelers craving a taste of home. The portions are generous, so you definitely get great value for your money.

We loved our dinner at Bao’s! Delicious tofu and jackfruit bao, great salad and crisp sweet potato fries. The staff were all so kind and friendly which made it a fun night with our baby. Perfect casual spot for a quick bite.

We’ve been coming here sense they opened. small but filling fist size rice buns (gluten free )filled with super flavorful protein, pork belly’s my go to , but there’s chicken, fish, crab, beef and veg also, smart salads, and actually fries done right! quick and easy inexpensive, friendly English speaking staff. Good place for people watching cuz it on a busy Pedestrian Mall corner.

Pulled pork bao and Formosa salad were fresh and flavorful. One of the best quick lunches I've had in a long time that was tasty and healthy. As a plus, the staff spoke English. I will definitely be back.

Probably the only Taiwanese spot in all of Portugal, this is a spot that probably lures a lot of tourists who are craving Taiwanese food like us while abroad lol. It was a pleasant surprise to find it...the food was OK - we found the service kind and helpful but the food not so authentic. Quite pricey. Beef noodle soup - tasted mostly like soy sauce base. Noodles were thin egg noodles but not the right kind. Felt like linguine lol. Beef was plentiful and tender though. Lu rou fan - decent for Asian food in Europe standards, could use much fatty pork belly, more sugar, star anise, and five spice powder. Was on the dry side and for some reason there were fried tempura flakes. Gua bao - seemed like their most authentic menu item with all the right ingredients, tasted pretty good. Overall it served our craving but wouldn't return or recommend it to friends.

Storefront cafe in a great neighborhood. Grabbed seats on first floor. Server came to table to take order. Needed something more substantial than their signature baos. Ordered 3 cup chix and Lu rou fan bowls. Surprised at how well seasoned and authentic they tasted. Not as good as the 626 in SoCal. But they scratched an itch for Taiwanese food.

So good! The food is all fresh and full of flavor. The gua bao was our favorite but we also really liked the chicken and crab baos. The kids loved the beef noodle soup and loaded fries. We all enjoyed the boba tea. Extra seating and a restroom in the basement. The staff was great and the service was fast. We will definitely be back!

Stumbled upon this place while walking. I'm visiting from the states, California, so back home we have an array of really good cuisine. So I order veggie fried rice. Two pulled pork boss and a fry with cheese sauce and some other sauce and grilled onions. The pork buns were really good and soft and really tender. I felt like it needed a sauce to go along with it to add more flavor to it. The fries were amazing!!!! I loved these fries, best ones I've ever had out of 16 places in Europe I've been to before. The fried rice was good at first but then some parts felt like they were over cooked. Maybe just cooked more from the steam but it was a little mushy but still had good flavor. Over all, I'd give it another go if I was craving pork buns.

Not authentic and was disappointed, but perhaps shouldn't have expected authentic Asian food in Porto in the first place. Way too expensive.

Loved this place! Great by all standards. You have to get the beer shot, it's a fun way to end your meal.
