Reviews of Barobao

The staff was very friendly and helpful.
When we got in there, the staff did not greet us or even looked at us. So then we took the initiative to sit at a table, whereupon one of the employees came running and said sour to us that we could not put ourselves there if we had not reserved the table. Already then I wanted to go from there, but my friend insisted that we would at all cases eat something first.
Once we sat down at the window, they did not even have menus, but we had to go and pick them up, and even go to the counter and order the food. Maybe it's the concept they've thought you first, but it wasn't that reading the other guests got when I looked around me.
Had to wait in 30-40 min to get tiny portions of the food (almost thrown at us with a really sour mine) that was not even hot. However, the food was very good, but too bad that it was barely enough for a person to be measured. So for about 200KR per person so you go from there more hungry than you were when you got there.
The concept felt a little indefinite. The menu felt confusing with both Chinese and Japanese mixed (know that some think it's fun, but if you have a concept you should specialize in that, I think, especially if you should take so much paid for the little one gets). The décor was very uncomfortable, but I liked the plants hanging from the roof.
So here I never go again I can say. The staff were very helpful and the room was very clean. The food was good, but too small portions for too high a price.
Wouldn't recommend!

This place really is a joke. Pretentious interior that looks like a first year design student decided to pull every detail from the menus to the staff’s uniforms from a Pinterest moodboard and mix it together into an embarrassing mess. 5 items on the menu were out of stock and the service was awfully clumsy and awkward. The selection of baos was very disappointing. Only three: pork belly, vegetarian and vegan. We tried them all and they were cold and bland. A big no-no.

This place is a total rip-off. A small ball (about 2 pieces) costs 56 euro! Feels embarrassing to actually go there with friends. How slowly you have to eat in order to sit like a half hour and have something to chew on? An imported trend from Asia (Taiwan) where it costs less than 50 p per a scene of bao on the street. Remember that Taiwan is a highly developed country. No thanks. Never more.

Incomprehensible concept. The room and the furniture gives the impression of being a fast food place, and sure enough it is possible quickly to get food that is perfectly ok. The problem is that as an adult you need 4-5 baos to be measured and then the ports Bill without further ADO on £ 300 with drinks, for food that does not have a noticeable sophistication but is completely standard. Nowhere near affordable.
The review below by John f. I think t is written by itself.

Gott, snabbt och helt ok prisvärt.

Been here 2 times. Totally ok bao, slightly overpriced! Think they should spend time setting the flavors and dare to add a little heat to the dishes. Tried okonomiyaki which didn't really taste that much either. However, go staff. You can do better!

Had quite high expectations when I wanted to go here for a couple of years but was unfortunately disappointed. Quite ok room, nice staff but the food was no more than mediocre. Had needed something crunchy in the bao, became too soft textures with soft bread and soft meat. Looking further for a good bao in Stockholm, seems hard to find!

A little hard to put this rating when the impressions are very mixed. The first time I ate here was just a quickie before I'd eat real dinner at another restaurant. Took only a little bao (£ 56), porken, which was completely sick good. Unreal good, was almost that we booked the second table.

Went there again the following day and took this time two of the bao, plus the second. It was good, but a far cry from the day before. Don't really know what it depends on, myself or the baon. The first day I thought the price was a bit high given the baons size. The second day was the meat piece, but it became a bit oversized, which went out over the taste I think.

Saw some of the other dishes, small salmon-facilities, etc. They looked really good, but the prices are clearly too high against the size of the portions. You may count on approx 300 SEK for a dinner with a beer to be measured, which I think is too much of this sort of place where you order at the counter and leave after 45 min. Otherwise, I like the place (a plus for mobile recharging cabinets on the wall!) but think it might be a little excessive "hipsteraktigt".

I have very mixed emotions for this review. For over two years I have wanted to eat here, so the expectations for these little Baosen were soaring.

I o my company ordered three different BAOs each, one with pork belly, one with cheek and one with fish and "crispy batten". We agreed that pork belly was tastes, but that doesn't mean it had "it". It was very tender, but on the other hand it contained the pork bitten 80% fat and 20% meat. I had desired more hoisin sauce, slightly sourer and crunchy gurkskiva and more intense taste in the flesh. It was missing the textures and the peculiar mix between sweet, salt and sour simply.

And the most important thing for BAOs is still the bread. I had hoped to get the resteamed and warm bread, but instead got bread that was cold. Were they steamed a few hours ago and kept themselves "hot" and fresh in a ångskåp?

The fish crispy Cheerio was tasteless and not at all crispy, but it felt rather like they fried a replacement in the morning and so it was it. However, the sauce was good and different.

The portions were relatively small and a little expensive. We were not really satisfied after three.

Barobao gets a weak third. A deuce had been unfair, for the room was protruding and the girl who helped us was nice. But the food didn't live up to the expectations and reviews that I read here.

Fresh and stripped-down room, light and pleasant with lots of plants hanging from the roof. A little everywhere.
Have only eaten lunch here. You choose between Baos or Ricebowl (Veg el Fish)
Good flavors but tiny portions and a little overpriced.
But clearly the best Baon I have had in Stockholm

Om man älskar Bao som jag gör så kan det ju inte bli fel, men det finns en gräns för "hur bra" en Bao kan bli och därmed också priset. På tok alldeles för dyrt även om maten är god - vilket har fått mig att tyvärr inte blivit sugen på att komma tillbaka igen.

Good food and nice little place. Good to know is that the portions are relatively small for those who are big eaters, personally I think it is perfect.

Really appreciate the great enthusiasm and the Nice Asian flavors, on the other hand, think that the prices are too high (but of course, you get good ingredients and a hip concept, both taste and interior design, in terms of the bargain). Otherwise, it's definitely a place where I would like to pick up a meal on a regular basis.

Good but only 2 different choices of Bao?? Pork or Vegetarian! I don't eat pork and am not very fond of vegetarian. Missing fish or shellfish on the menu.

The place was nice. And the vegetarian dish was good even though I was so set to eat any fish dish that day. I will go there again! Heard that they change the menu a bit then on then.

Conditions exist but implementation defaults. 15-20 minute wait in half-full restaurant during lunch time is not good enough, and the food is far from hot once it is served. The staff were friendly but a bit sömngångaraktigt at the kitchen counter.

Goda bao buns och bra dryckeslista!

Middag på Barobao, vi beställde varsin av de två vegetariska baosen som båda var riktigt goda med bra tryck i smakerna och trevlig textur.
På dryckeslistan hittar vi allt från spännande viner och öl till sake och ginger ale wasabi. Jag drack en mycket trevligt fransk pet nat till det generösa priset av 95 kr per glas.
Lokalen är ganska liten och trång, men mysig och perfekt belägen på centrala Södermalm. Bonus för mobilladdnings-skåpen!
Personalen är supertrevlig och skojfrisk, och även snabba med att fylla på vår vattenkaraff och hämna nytt värmeljus när vårt slocknade.
Vill du bli rejält mätt av middagsmenyn (tror lunchpriserna är något lägre) blir det en lite dyrare kväll eftersom rätterna är ganska små. Det är kanske inte hit du går när du är vrålhungrig dagen innan löning - men däremot när du vill ha en trevlig kväll med skön stämning och mycket smak i rätterna!

Sometimes you just get a craving for bao and then this is a good option. Quite simply decorated and stripped down, but still nice vibe and good things to choose from on the menu. There are a couple of kinds of bao to choose from on the menu and I thought they were all good. But I almost thought the side dishes/accessories were even better.

Not at all so pjåkigt, actually very good but not quite a wow experience hence the four stars!

A stripped-down small restaurant with natural touches and Chinese menu, with twist. There Is A really nice staff who created a convivial feeling for dinner and be sure to inform about the structure, tastes and everything there to and recommended at least two dishes where we drove on.

Two buns, one with celeriac, mushrooms, truffles, shiitake mayo and roasted onion and the other with pork belly, pickled cucumber, peanuts and korriander, tartar with soyamarinerade beetroot, creamy egg yolk and classical frame had to stand for tonight's dinner, very neat and aroused our interest directly. The Porcelain they used for the dishes was also nice and created a "luxurious" whole. Fun menu, aesthetically stylish!

The Fluffy bread was divinely good, the pickled red beets at the top of the Råbiffen were sweet, a little crunchy and got married incredibly well with the rest of the ingredients, the sponge in one bunen with truffles and pork belly in the other was two components that we could have Eating as the VA and broth in the frame was rich and tasty. The Råbiffen, Njea... Not my favorite and rotsellerin quite tasteless, but was weighed up by the remaining ingredients so it did not so much.

92kr for the frame and Råbiffen and 60kr for a bun, completely överkommligt but one can be very saturated for 150kr on other foods. But A fun experience, can absolutely imagine going back when they replaced the menu and try more!
