Harden's survey result
Summary
“Great value, great flavours” sums up the appeal of this fun Tooting venue, which serves a short menu of filled Taiwanese buns and cocktails, and is named in honour of owner Frank Leung’s father, Joe (who ran a restaurant in Salisbury for 32 years). As of September 2024, it has a Taiwanese cocktail bar, Good Measure, in the basement. See also Mr Bao in Peckham. Top tip – “I loved the beef tataki”.
Summary
“Our teen kids love this place and we do too!” – so say fans of Frank Leung’s Tooting venue, which provides steamed Taiwanese buns, washed down with decent cocktails, in an atmospheric neighbourhood setting. See also ‘Mr Bao’ in Peckham.
Summary
Taiwanese steamed buns with tasty fillings are the stars at the Tooting branch of Frank Leung’s highly rated Bao family trio (‘Mr’ in Peckham, ‘Master’ in Westfield Shepherd’s Bush), named in honour of his father, Joe, who retired after a lifetime in restaurants five years ago.
Summary
Tooting’s contribution to the bao boom, this “friendly, fast-paced small restaurant offers excellent Taiwanese food”, with exotic cocktails to accompany the steamed buns. It is part of Frank Leung’s growing chain, alongside Mr Bao in Peckham and Master Bow in Westfield Shepherd’s Bush.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
