Mr Bao - Taiwanese Restaurant Peckham

You'll find yourself on Rye Lane surrounded by the kind of neighbourhood energy that's made Peckham genuinely exciting again. Mr Bao isn't trying to be clever or Instagram-bait—it's just doing Taiwanese food with real skill and genuine care. The kitchen knows what it's doing with hand-pulled noodles, proper bao, and sides that taste like someone actually gives a toss about the recipe. Service is friendly without being fussy, and the whole place has that rare quality of feeling properly local rather than self-consciously trendy.
