Church Street · Mon to Sat 12:00 to 22:00
A Taiwanese-inspired kitchen on Church Street, Birmingham. Bao hand-rolled every day, braises cooked overnight, pickles made in-house. Since 2018.
The name
Fold a soft bun around slow-braised pork and it looks like a mouth mid-bite. Our bao follow that Taipei street-food tradition. Our rice bowls lean west, towards the chilli and numbing pepper of Sichuan.
Service is quick, but the cooking isn’t. We ferment our own kimchi, pickle in-house and braise meat overnight in our own master stock.
Our signature bao are hand-rolled and steamed in our own kitchen, fresh every day.
We buy meat and fresh produce from local suppliers and British producers who share our values. Supporting the local supply chain matters to us.
