Master Bao Shepherd's Bush

We asked for a refund… We ordered the sweet-and-sour chicken with egg fried rice, and a stirfry beef noodles. Food took a while to be ready. The rice was undercooked to the point that it was crunchy, and the chicken is so overcooked that it was so tough and chewy. It felt like it’s been sat out for ages and just felt like chewing batter. The sauce was so watery. At this point we couldn’t be bothered with the noodles. We had a bite and could tell they tried to disguise the lack of flavour of the noodles with just a bottle of soy sauce. We had one bite of everything and decided to send it back. Had to say the staff was very quick for the refund and was apologetic.

I ordered the Braised Beef Noodle Soup and the Chicken Wok Noodles - both were halal and outstanding. The flavours were rich and balanced, and the noodles were cooked to perfection. It’s easily one of the best noodle dishes I’ve had in London. The service was also impressive - fast, friendly, and efficient.

Missed trying something from here the last time we visited this shopping mall. So when we had a chance to visit again, this place was a must on the culinary list. All I can say is that they don’t disappoint. Soft fluffy Bao with fillings of your choice, served either as a meal or single, you won’t go wrong. It usually takes about 7-10 minutes for it to reach you, but it’s definitely worth the wait. Oh, don’t forget to try the dumplings too ! The only downside is that you won’t be able to stop yourself from ordering more.
