  • Went last night for a quick, cheap meal. Wasn't disappointed. The baozi are huge and fluffy. The chengdu dumplings in chilli and garlic were delicious. And the ma po tofu was exactly how I remembered it when I used to eat it almost daily in Beijing. Haven't tasted food as authentic as this since I moved back to the UK three years ago - highly recommend if you want simple mainland Chinese food.

  • Steaming bowls of simple, spicy, sichuan cuisine in a great value, atmospheric restaurant. I've eaten here probably 8 or 10 times since I arrived in London 3 years ago, most recently with my partner yesterday for lunch. Every time I come here, i remind myself to make sure I come back sooner next time. Delicious food, with a difference from the usual chinatown fare. This is not a 5 star dining experience and its a simple menu... but what the kitchen does, it generally does very well. When I can slurp my way through a beautifully spiced bowl of chengdu dan dan noodles and some chinese tea for less than a tenner (including a tip for an altogether satisfyingly spicy experience) i think I can excuse the sometimes brisk (but usually smiling) service. For a quick and tasty Chinese meal Baozi Inn fits the bill nicely.

  • Gross food. Slow cooked pork was just slow cooked fat. Yuk!

  • Go here very often. Service is basic however in China town this normally means the food will be more authentic. Dumplings are yum yum, the best dish is the Dandan noodle still the best in London in my opinion

  • Have the baozi, theyre amazing! as are the dumplings and wontons. eat what the waiter recommends and you can't go wrong; choose something yourself and it's pretty average. i'd go back just for the baozi!

  • I went in for a dry fried beef ho fun which was good but my take away Beijing dumpling (which was supposed to have prawn, didn't have it, was given pork instead) was awful, not steamed enough, ie pastry was not cooked through and no soup inside dumpling. I've since found other places doing good dry fried beef ho fun as I've last checked their menu on wall outside saying minimum charge is £10. When I want a quick meal and on my own, I cannot eat 2 - 3 dishes at one sitting to make sure the bill is at least over £10. They have lost one long term customer here who frequently recommend friends to good restaurants.

  • Had an awful meal at this restaurant. When we first arrived I checked out what other diners were having and it all looked great. I decided on pork bun and spare rib noodle broth dish and my friend had the spicy beef noodles. However on closer inspection the meat was really fatty and the dishes were coated in a slick of oil. No flavour, I could barely eat my ribs as I couldn't stomach eating around the cartilage/joint/fatty bits all over them. The pork bun was the only decent thing about this place. This place assaulted our taste buds. I agree with the previous post, I would have rather gone to McDonalds for dinner.

  • The food and service were HORRIBLE. Do not go there. McD's is still a better option
