Baoziinn - London

There aren’t many seats available, so it's best to make a reservation in advance. We were lucky to get a table, but once we arrived, they were pretty much fully booked. The food was very tasty and delicious, and the tea was fantastic as well! I highly recommend trying the dim sum or rolls—they're both visually appealing and flavorful! The only downside was that the service was quite slow, and the waitstaff seemed stretched thin. I’m sure everyone was doing their best, but it felt like the restaurant was somewhat understaffed.

We found ourselves in an intimate and cozy dining room, a charming homage to the Mao-era canteens of northern China. The music was pleasant, and the atmosphere was relaxed. The food throughout the day was exceptional—Cantonese dim sum infused with influences from Sichuan and Hunan, along with bold Nordic Chinese flavors that lingered beautifully despite the dampened quality. As a huge dim sum fan, I can confidently say that this is some of the best I've had in London. A highlight for me was the assorted xiao long bao filled with minced meat and a selection of rolls that boasted experimental flavors such as jackfruit, and marinated vegetables with Sichuan hot and sour sauce. The broth, which had more of a sauce-like consistency, delivered an incredible burst of sharp taste once inflated, while the dumplings were boiled to perfection. The shrimp and radish rolls were enclosed in a spinach juice wrapper, beautifully shaped and cooked, showcasing vibrant flavors. The jiaozi noodles were filled with a rich, spicy, umami-packed XO sauce. All seven dishes we tried were fabulous, perfectly balanced with mixed vegetable flavors, tender fillings, and bold seasoning. Don't miss the special roasted rice served in that heavenly XO sauce—it was some of the best I've ever tried, packed with explosive Cantonese flavors. From the moment I took my first bite, I had no regrets. The menu is diverse and extensive, and I will definitely return when I'm in the mood for dim sum. Instagram: @ourappetites

This dim sum spot in Chinatown is fantastic! The atmosphere is vibrant and inviting, and the staff are friendly and attentive. I really appreciated the little gadget they have that allows you to call a waiter or pay with just a press of a button—it really speeds things up. Like most places, you order from an extensive menu, and the food presentation is stunning. The flavors are incredible, and everything looks beautiful on the plate. Prices are reasonable for a central London restaurant. If you go with three or four people and order a variety of dishes along with some alcoholic drinks, expect the bill to be around £25-£35 per person. I highly recommend their large bao buns and the fried ones too—it's truly a taste of heaven! I can't wait to return!

The sum is made at a level of fine and roughness. best you can find. absolutely amazing! I can highly recommend the cold dishes, the roast pork chops, the suppenbunken, the shumai and especially the handmade garnels. best dim sum restaurant I have ever visited! one must!

We ordered two vegetarian noodle dishes (dan dan noodles and zhe jiang noodles) to share, and one veggie skewers. The price is on the more expensive side, but it was an enjoyable meal. Everything was favourable and portions were good. Would love to try their dim sum next time!
