Spettacolare!!!! Un Must per i vegan

Abbiamo deciso di cenare in questo posto per non finire sul solito panino veg e perché scuriosando su questa app ci ha incuriosito molto.
Ordinato un Bao a testa, ma ne ho subito ordinato un altro da quanto sono buoni!
Anche edamame di contorno e per finire il Mochi. Sempre ovviamente tutto Vegan.
Avessi Lil Bao sotto casa ci andrei ogni settimana.
Persone cortesi all'interno e cibo squisito.

Pros: Cibo spettacolare, Accoglienza, Cibo spettacolare

C’est trop trop bon

Tout est génial, les baos sont moelleux et très goûtus. J’ai aussi adoré la salade de wakame et la limonade 😋
Mérite bien sa réputation !

Great Vegan Food

My wife and I had dinner here while visiting Brussels. It is located approximately a 15 minute walk from the Grand Place. We were lucky that it wasn't very busy when we got there and were quickly seated. The staff is really friendly (and spoke great English!). We ordered the spring rolls and wontons for starters and the hot chick and rambao for our mains. All of them were really tasty! My wife enjoyed the spring rolls so much she had a second order of them! To top it off, we shared the chocolate mousse and Da Baomb. Both were delicious as well! By the time we left, almost all of the tables were full so it is definitely popular! Next time we're in Brussels, we'll definitely be back!

Pros: Great Food, Super friendly staff, Good location

Amazing fake meat

Can't complain about anything. The place is nice, the service is good and both baos I tried were really good! I recommend the Rambao because I really liked its pea protein fake meat. It's kinda expensive but that's what I expected in Brussels tbh

Super découverte !

Tout était super bon ! On a pris des baos assez différents et tout était délicieux ! On a aussi pris des "calamars" frits à partager et la texture était incroyable ! Le personnel est super sympa.

Pros: La qualité de la nourriture, La variété de choix !, Les serveuses super gentilles

Tasty, tourist friendly, would go again

Very friendly staff, tourist friendly! Easy to order/pay. Chill open kitchen. We got 4 bao, two sides, two drinks and were plenty full. Price is similar to what we pay in the states so no sticker shock.

Pros: Tasty, Tourist friendly, Memorable

Great Asian junkfood

Creative buns with different mock meats and sauces. Nice mix of Asian and fusion cuisine.

I tried the eggplant and wonton, which were great.

Very small restaurant with tasty baos

Went there and got two baos to go. There was a line outside, but I got my food very fast. The stuff was very nice, but the baos are quite pricey.

Have you ever tried eating fries with chopsticks?

If not - don't worry, I haven't either, but I tried for the first time at Lil Bao and it was surprisingly comfortable. The food is very tasty, spices are perfectly balanced. It's "Asia meets Belgium" on a plate - I loved their loaded fries and will definitely be returning. The place is very cute, not much space, but not very crowded either.

Tasty and creative!

Definitely recommend Lil Bao! Delicious bao buns with interesting fillings. I also loved the spicy dim sum.
It would be cool if they did a special meal deal thing - they recommend two baos and one side, which is quite a lot of food, but it's all tasty.

Easiest 10/10

Hot chick 8,90€
Deep Sea Baby 8,90€
Lil Wontons 7,50€

Both baos - amazing. Sadly I didn't realise the fillings were pretty similar so there wasn't that much difference between them. Nonetheless, fluffy buns with fried and juicy toppings.

But the WONTONS - wooooow. I could've eaten 20. Slightly spicy and the meat inside is actually perfection. I HIGHLY recommend them as a side dish!!!!

We loved the service, the food, the atmosphere, pretty much everything. I wish we could have visited twice but we were only in Brussels for the day.

My first time trying bao

Maybe I choose the wrong one. Somehow I wasn't convinced. It was ok.

If Zero Stars was possible...

Style over substance? Perhaps. Ive had bao, wonton, dumplings etc more times in my life than I can count, but I have to admit I've never eaten so much raw dough before visiting this restaurant. The bao bun had elements of raw dough to it, the wontons were so raw that the filling(which could have been delightful...) was actually cold. The dimsum lacked flavour aside from the unmistakable sickening tang of raw dough. The dishes looked great for the sake of photos, but I'm not sure that the kids who served us have been remained in much more than presentation. This is sincerely the first time I've ever felt close to vomiting during a meal at an expensive restaurant. Really had to forced down almost every bite after the first couple of chomps. Each bao was at least 9 euro when they shouldn't have been more than 2.50. Feels like a wasted opertunity as the restaurant is in a good location.

Lovely spot!

A great little spot with lovely little roof top terrace and even lovelier staff.
The food is super-yummy, I especially loved the gyros loaded fries and the coconut water, which was the best I had (very sweet, without added sugar).
Would always return to this gem 💎

Pros: tasty food , lovely staff , Dog friendly

Very tasty, friendly staff

Lil bao is a cute tiny place with tasty baos and side dishes. They recommend to order two baos and a sidedish for a full dinner and you can order and pay with an qr-code on the table. Because I wasn't really hungry I chose to order one bao, the courgette one and a sidedish with wontons. It was really tasty and I agree with the recommended portions for a whole dinnermeal. The staff was nice and friendly and I would eat here again if I am visiting Brussels another time!
