Yummy Bao! - Edit
Cosy little place selling a selection of bao, dim sum, chips, and larger plates.
Read moreWe got the That's Nuts, Jacko Whacko and Hot Chick. We really enjoyed the That's Nuts, but it was a little bit cold. Out of the two bao we ordered, the Hot Chick was by far the best! It was really delicious! I wouldn't recommend the Jacko Whacko, even though it looked great.
Overall yummy food, but the service is sub par (no table service, and staff a little distant).
Pros: Bao, Vibes
Cons: Customer Service, No free water

Little, cute place! - Edit
Leuk klein restaurantje. Perfect om te lunchen! Overal makkelijk te zien wat de allergenen zijn. Alle ingrediënten kon je er uit laten mocht dat nodig zijn naar voorkeur. Niet te duur!

Mango icecream - Edit
This place has a second level (roof terrace), which is nice. The container walls inside were not so nice to lean against. We had a bowl, dumplings and a Bao with vish. Everything was good. I liked the dessert best even though it was difficult to eat and a spoon would have been better with it.

Fluffy vegan baos - Edit
After hearing so many good things from this place, I had to try it out myself.
Read moreIt’s a cute and colorful little with friendly staff.
With my sis we went for a shared starter and dessert and both chose a bao. So we decided to go for the dims with hoisin sauce. The dims themselves were delicious, soft and warm packed with lots of flavors. The hoisin sauce was to our liking a bit too much and the sriracha sauce was a better option (personal).
Then the baos came and they looked very fluffy and after the first bite, we can confirm they were.
The jack fruit one was good, however I didn’t find the flavors super powerful. The no meat version was a disappointment for me, because I was not expecting to have a kind of a burger in a bao. For me the combination of a burger patty in a bao, covered with ketchup, is not a good match (personal). This is an Asian dish so I am expecting Asian combination and it felt weird to me to have an European twist to it.
Last we opted for the banana cake with ice cream.
The cake itself was tasty but too sweet, so at least we could compensate it with the light flavorful vanilla ice cream.

Very good - Edit
Had the Greek bao, the miso soup with noodles, fries and the wontons.
Read moreAlso, the mochi with coconut milk for dessert.
I really enjoyed the soup and the wontons.
The bao was fine, but I didn't like that much the taste of the feta cheese. Probably I should've tried one of the other baos.
The dessert was also alright, not bad at all, but nothing special either for me.
Portion-wise, you certainly need to take a couple of things per person, or just one of the «bigger friends» from the menu.
The staff was friendly and the vice was pleasant.
Note that you can pay directly when ordering but it's a bit bothersome as you need to input your credit card number, approve the transaction, etc.
Maybe if you live in Belgium it's easier but if you don't I'd suggest going paying directly at the counter.
Pros: good food, location

You can go with your eyes closed - Edit
Very simple, you enter, you take a place, and you order with the QR code with the simple payment system. After that you taste an avalanche of flavour, really. And yes, the dessert. Normally I don’t take dessert but here, Waouw, the DA baomb, so good and perfect to finish the meal.

The food here is delicious. Me & my partner both got 2 bao buns each- the jacko wacko & the hot chick. They were really good. We also got some spring rolls which were also lovely. Really recommend this place. The staff are all really friendly & helpful.

Absolutely amazing - Edit
I highly recommend going here when you're in Brussels.
Read moreWe tried two different Baos and the Lil Dims and everything was absolutely delicious.
We also had a serving of the banana cake which was different from what I expected but still delicious.
It's not your typical banana bread. It has a more artificial banana flavour. It wasn't too overpowering though and everything was perfectly balanced.

Heerlijk vegan eten en goede sfeer! 🌱 - Edit
Lil Bao is een absoluut pareltje voor veganisten! Dit volledig vegan restaurant biedt een unieke en smaakvolle ervaring met hun selectie van bao buns en andere Aziatische gerechten. De Hercules Bao was een hoogtepunt voor mij – de textuur en smaken waren perfect in balans!
Read moreWat ik ook geweldig vind aan Lil Bao is hun toewijding aan duurzaamheid en veganisme. Elk gerecht is zorgvuldig samengesteld met verse, hoogwaardige ingrediënten, en dat proef je bij elke hap. Daarnaast zijn de porties precies goed, waardoor je met een voldaan gevoel de deur uitgaat.
De sfeer in het restaurant zat goed, wat het een fijne plek maakt om met vrienden of familie te genieten van een ontspannen maaltijd. Het personeel is vriendelijk en behulpzaam, maar sprak helaas geen Nederlands. Daarnaast vond ik de tafels en stoelen niet echt comfortabel, wat het zitten minder aangenaam maakte.
Ik raad Lil Bao ten zeerste aan voor iedereen die op zoek is naar heerlijk vegan eten. Dit is een plek waar je keer op keer naar terug wilt keren om alles van het menu te proberen!
Pros: 100% vegan, Smaakvolle gerechten, Gezellige sfeer
Cons: Taalbarrière, Oncomfortabele zitplaatsen

Immediately felt very welcoming, lovely man took care of our order. He kindly spoke English and was very helpful. Food came quickly, easy to order online and way too easy to eat. Lots of flavour and interesting vegan options. Fluffy bao buns were delicious and boys loved the loaded chips and strawberry and lychee drink. Would definitely go here again.

Tasty baos - Edit
We tried two different baos (aubergenius and nice to meet you) and Da Baomb dessert. Everything tasted great. The homemade lychee lemonade was also very good. Will definitely come back to this place and try other baos and desserts. The staff were also very friendly. The place is small, but cosy and there is also an outdoor area just up the stairs. Recommend this place!

Good Food but pricey - Edit
First the food is very nice, BUT the portions are quite small so I ended b up ordering 6 dishes for around 50 euros which I think is overpriced for the food.
