Banh Bao Brothers

This place was genuinely the worst place I have ever eaten. To start the menu online is not the menu In store We ordered a couple of cocktails, heavily overpriced. My old fashioned was served in dirty glasses. Perfectly priced at 15 per drink. On to the the food. Starters were spring rolls, clearly bought from Iceland, soggy and tasteless and drenched in sweet chilli sauce to mask the the lack of flavour. Mains; "Korean fried" chicken. Something I never thought I'd find on a Vietnamese menu. But nonetheless the picture on the menu looked good. However we were served with one piece of oven fried chicken thigh with a large serving of sticky rice. I have travelled all over Asia and never once has any chef paired Thai sticky rice with "Korean fried chicken" and of course to cover up the lack of flavour again, an abundance of sweet chilli sauce was generously lathered across both the sticky rice and the 'Korean fried chicken' . All this for the low low price of 24 for 2. Sides, I ordered a bao bun with pulled pork, also not Vietnamese but when in Rome. The bun was soggy, moist at best, the pork tasteless and unseasoned all for 7. Our entire meal with drinks came up to a grand total eye watering 82 This place is a scam, as others suggested, it is not Vietnamese, nor is it Korean, nor is it Thai or Chinese for that matter. In fact if any member of the Asian community where go here they would immediately walk back out. The chef should be ashamed of themselves and should probably pick up a cook book or maybe spend sometime at a Vietnamese hawker stall and learn a thing or two. I am happy offer some recommendations. The only reason this even gets a star is because our waitress was good.

Badly run place Order was taken and then 2 dishes out of 8 arrived about half an hour after ordering, after waiting another 20 minutes it was clear nothing else was coming and other patrons who had sat down but not been seen to had left by this point as well as most of the other customers in there. We spoke to the waitress who was really nice and clearly frustrated also. We only paid for the two things that arrived (with discount) and left to eat elsewhere. The nice waitress that was considering walking out, girl do it!

Really quirky location, ample room around 7pm on a Friday but it did pick up massively by 8. We had a lovely waitress, I forget her name - but she was really attentive and had great recommendations. We had pretty much the whole menu, it was all absolutely stunning with real authentic taste. The mixologist was also happy to make us cocktails that weren't on the menu, always a positive! The Prawn crackers are something to write home about, to be honest it all is. The wings, the rice, the buns, the popcorn chicken - so tasty. I highly recommend this place, its located in a really cool tunnel covered in graffiti, with other bars and clubs there too. Really cool and glad we found it!

Highly aggressive middle-aged white male staff member with a shaved head approaching dancers recording at a next door bar asking them Why are you looking at me? without provocation, blocking their path and making threats about becoming more aggressive when asked to leave or to calm down. Everything that is wrong with men in one persons behaviour, looking after their own ego and making other peoples day worse. Why?
