Review So Bao Noodle Bar And Bistro - Dunedin

Upashna Naicker
One of my favorite food places in Dunedin. I've dined in and gotten delivery from them many times and they're always consistent with their quality and flavourful food. All of their baos are absolutely delicious and I'd recommend any one of them. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't already!

Dined on a Friday night. The place was about 80% full. It's a small restaurant. Sat at the bar. There was only 1 person cooking and 1 person serving so service was slow but very friendly. Ordered beef soup, broccoli & 3pc bao (duck, pork, chicken) Food was amazing and worth the long wait. Everything was so delicious. my favorites were the chicken bao and the broccoli with yoghurt sauce. so damn tasty. Would definitely visit again.

Great spot for some good bao buns and noodles. We tried the Karage Chicken, Pork Belly and Pekin Duck, my favorite was Pork Belly. 3 for $20 Also, we tried the Taiwanese Beef Noodles $20 and the Pork on Rice $9 (Taiwanese street food) and both were full of flavor and good portion. No photo because we were so hungry and it looked so good They have 3 different local beers on tap and good selection of soft drinks. Staff was friendly and recommended us the nost popular dishes.

Soooo yummy. Such good bao, my favourites are the beef and duck bao. Cheeseburger is juicy but not overly oily, and it comes with a generous serving of fries. The beef tataki is crazily delicious and great value for a beef dish. The interior is really clean and the host is really accomodating to allergies as well. Definitely becoming a regular here.

Absolutely love the food! Authentic Taiwanese cuisine. The Roast tomato and miso ramen, the Narutomen and the Taiwanese Beef Noodle soup are MUST HAVES. The baos are also delicious and the Lu Rou Fan melts in your mouth.

The Bao is definitely watering your mouth, I tried the peking duck and beef. Fluffy texture bao. Taiwanese beef noodle soup is ok, tastes good, and noodle texture is also nice. The So Bao BBQ is an exemption. Their portion is massive. I would say its more for shares. Glaze tofu just ordinary taste, nothing special. I use the first table voucher anyway, so it's way more cheaper. If it's normal, the price will be quite pricey. Service needs to improve, bit wait for the mains. Place are quite small, and noisy.

Ordered 3 bao buns, and 2 skewers, pork rice, burger, coke and a beer. Peking duck in bao was delicious, have had it before and will order again. Pork rice is another favourite. Burger and fries were good aswell, server was very friendly and service was fast. Was disappointed the steak was no longer on the menu. The food here is very worth it at its price

Delicious and quality food! We highly recommend trying the chicken wings, they are one of a kind! The thaiwanese beef noodles were also amazing. The noodles had a sweet yet subtle spicy taste. And the bao buns were amazing - as per usual! Customer service is always great here too.

Small unassuming place, but absolutely banging food. Have eaten a lot of bao buns in a lot of different places, and these are definitely some of the best. The handmade Taiwanese beef noodles were also excellent, and our son loved the cheeseburger and fries. Food came out quick, service was friendly and attentive. Prices are extremely reasonable for the quality you're getting. One of the best restaurants in Dunedin at the moment!

I'd never been able to try their food truck but glad they have a permanent spot in town now. Perfect, fluffy baos (no surprise given their name!) but don't sleep on the other dishes. The Taiwanese beef noodles and lu rou fan were both spot on; we've been back a couple times and keep wanting to try new things but can never get past the beef noodles 😂

was just at the so bao food truck today and ordered 3 bao. Before I got to eat the last bao, a gust of wind blew it onto the floor. I was rly upset but then one of the staff members at the truck must have seen it happen and brought over a new one ! it made my day especially since today was actually my birthday to sum it up, good food and nice staff !!

Delicious Bao, noodles, and barbecue. Great size, but they need time to get them ready.

I had the peking duck bao bun and it was amazing! Love the fluffy bao and tender, juicy meat. The Vietnamese pho can be improved. The broth should not be spicy, I think the green chillies should not be put in the broth, maybe on a side with the lemon slice. The hoisin sauce was great though, it should be brought as a side to the dish because it greatly enhanced the flavours. I might be back to try the other bao buns!

Fresh tasty delicious food. The bao is perfection, the tacos are amazing and the steak is to die for. But it's the chicken wings we can't ever go past, as they are the best we've ever had. Our favourite restaurant, we would eat here every day if we could.

Would eat it every night if I lived in town, really really delicious food that warms up your whole body! and great service :) Highly recommend the beef shin noodles (pictured) and beef bao!!

We dined in here on Saturday night and YUM! Probably some of the best food I've received from a restaurant in a long time. The waitress was lovely and whilst the food did take a while to come because the chef was training, he did extremely well! Was a lovely experience but straws for the drinks would be amazing!
Matt Wilson
This place is really good, a bunch of young guys doing some really tasty and thought out approaches to classics. 100% recommend if your in Dunedin.
