BAO Battersea

You're walking into The Power Station at Nine Elms, past the Turbine Hall's soaring brick and steel, and suddenly you're in BAO's Battersea outpost. It's got that relaxed, unpretentious vibe that makes you want to stay longer than you planned. The menu pulls from Taiwan's street food playbook: soft, pillowy bao filled with braised pork or other proper fillings, hand-pulled noodles that actually have texture, and sides that don't feel like afterthoughts. Everything's designed to be shared, to be casual, to feel genuine—not some Instagram performance.
