BAO Soho was the first bao restaurant I visited after moving to London in 2017, so it holds a little place in my London food memories. Close to Oxford Street, it suited a quick lunch during a day in central London. In this BAOSoho review, I share the dishes that stood out to me, including the confit pork bao.
