Lovely spot! - Edit
A great little spot with lovely little roof top terrace and even lovelier staff.
Read moreThe 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 💎

Very tasty, friendly staff - Edit
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!

Preis Leistung stimmt nicht. Teuer und kalt. - Edit
Ich habe ein bao bestellt und Teigtaschen. Es war nichts besonderes. Ich hätte mir geschmacklich mehr erwartet. Das bao war kalt. Diese lemoniade für 5 Euro war einfache Zuckerwasser. Furchtbar.

Delicious Bao - Edit
I’ve eaten there once and ordered delivery twice — the baos are delicious, and the mix of flavors is always really interesting! Special mention for the loaded fries, which are divine. 😊 I haven’t had the chance to try the terrace yet, but the place is really nice! That said, the menu is quite pricey.

Incredible - Edit
I was wondering if the rave reviews could be true. They were! A little pricey, but so very tasty. I had the dumplings and an eggplant bao bun, and dessert. It was more than enough, but I enjoyed every morsel.

Bland and boring - Edit
On our way to another restaurant, we stumbled upon Lil Bao (which happens to sound like my hometown of Bilbao, creating some confusion when ordering). Not only was the place fully vegan, it also had excellent reviews here on HappyCow. In other words, this was set to be a memorable meal. Our waitress also emphasised that the food is homemade, and so we really were looking forward to it all. Once the items were finally delivered, we couldn't help but feel that.. yes, there was nothing wrong with them, but they were only slightly above average. Also, seeing somewhat steep prices automatically makes you feel they must be truly great.. and once again, it wasn't the case at all. For me eating bao is almost like eating chocolate, I will be sold every time. Not here though. Hopefully Lil Bao will gradually improve recipes and/or business idea in order to establish itself as a solid option in Brussels. For now, our experience remains sadly a different one.

Incredible Vegan Baos - Edit
Lil Bao completely exceeded my expectations! The vegan bao buns were absolutely delicious – soft, flavorful, and filled with creative, well-balanced ingredients. You can tell a lot of care goes into every detail, from the food to the service. To feel full, you’ll probably want to order about 2–3 baos and a side dish – which is actually perfect, because it gives you the chance to try lots of different flavors.
Read moreThe staff was super friendly and helpful. On top of that, the food came out super fast, which was a great surprise – perfect if you’re hungry and short on time. Whether you’re vegan or just curious, this spot is a must-try. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in Brussels!

Good but not overwhelming - Edit
I like bao buns, so I could certainly not resist going to Lil Bao when I found myself in Brussels. My partner and I shared four different buns and they were all good but I would only order one or two of them again (my partner loved all of them though!). We also had dim sums and smacked cucumbers - both were good but I had better elsewhere.

Excellent Asian Food - Edit
This was a great spot with some really fresh and fun dishes. The menu was reasonably sized but perhaps a touch pricey. Service was good and food was delicious. On the whole a solid choice, with a very colourful restaurant setting!

A must go if you love bao's - Edit
The food was delicious. The 2 kids (6 and 7) loved al of it! You can change your dish with ease. Like ommit the onions etc. The service was quick and the staff very very friendly. We would recommend and if you love bao's/asian food, this is a must go!
