Baozi Inn - London

They changed the owner recently and this is not a good place to go. The price is expensive and the portion is tiny. The taste is mediocre and NOT Taiwanese food at all(I am from Taiwan). Avoid it at all cost. Try a different place in Chinatown and skip this one. We were looking for a different restaurant but they closed and it was raining heavily and we were cold and wanted something to eat.

Poor Chinese food and overpriced. 10 pounds for 8 tiny dumplings. The noodles were overspiced as well. As Asians, would not recommend!

Liked the look of the outside, quick search online, yep, sounds good, went inside. Seated quickly, table for two, little metal stools, given menus fast. I liked the cosy feel, dim lighting, nice atmosphere. We ordered Dan Dan Noodles with pork and water (oh, no alcoholic drinks menu, never mind! , I went for sparkling, my companion for 'not sparkling '. 'You mean still? ' the waiter said and grinned. First and only time he smiled, but it wasn 't just us, I noticed him putting a bowl down at a different table without a smile/word, so it 's just his manner. The food was very tasty with a spicy heat. The bill (because no booze was really reasonable. I 'd definitely go again if in Chinatown and try something else. Don 't worry, the service wasn 't hostile, just not very warm! I don 't want obsequious service, but a smile or two would make such a difference.

Enjoyed the Chengdu-style wontons with spicy broth, wood-ear mushrooms with chili, and skewered lamb meat. Everything is tasty here, friendly/prompt service, and reasonably priced menu. Stools aren’t very comfy.

Group of four squeezed into the tight quarters. We all enjoyed our food. Dan Dan noodles were great. Server had few words to say to us. Sort of felt like we were an inconvenience to him.
