Baogo — Restaurant in Brussels

Popped by for lunch cos of the reviews. We ordered the chicken wings which were pretty good! Two drinks, homemade lemonade which tasted kinda like orange juice and ice matcha latte. Both €3,50 which is pretty decently priced for a restaurant! The Japs prolly wouldn't call the matcha latte matcha, but I was still happy cos you hardly find matcha lattes around in Europe. We also had a pulled pork burger + sweet potato fries as sides, and mentioned briefly to the waiter if what we ordered was sufficient to share and he said it should be. Turns out that they nicely split our burger and fries into two separate portions when it arrived (without us even asking), and it was a rather generous portion as well. We were very surprised and very very full. Yummy fries!

Would have given a 5 star review for the decently priced meal & great service (of burger splitting), just that the burger bao/bun itself was a major disappointment for me. My hubs was okay with it, but I thought the bread really sucked. Don't think they steamed it before frying it so it was very stale :/ nonetheless, I wouldn't mind coming back...

Let's start with the most important, the burger itself was great! I ate the one with beef brisket, although spiced up with some extra chilies from my wife's burger, and it was really tasty. Beer options and the recommendations that came along were plentiful, and I ended up finding a great new beer to enjoy.

Spicy chips were tasty, but a bit soggy. In a place like this, with an awesome new concept with hand made burgers (and well executed at that), I would have wished for the last finishing touch of having good chips along with the burger, especially in a country that prides itself with them.

Also going in and seeing "1 table = 1 payment" or "Bar payment" written everywhere is a bit of a red flag for me. Seeing how common it is, I doubt it is that problematic to charge a couple people separately, or walk the payment device to the table... Well, didn't matter for us, we would have paid in one batch in any case, just thought to mention.

All in all, would recommend! Love the idea of burgers in soft...

Great place for a lunch or dinner.

I had the pulled pork burger and a side of spicy fries. The spicy fries were just regular fries with some added sprinkles of chili powder which while decently hot, would have been better to be thoroughly sprinkled.

However, they sever each side of fries with spicy mayo, which is also quite spicy on its own. No harm, so still 5 starts.

PLUS they gave out free desserts to guests! Ours was a mango tapioca pudding. Not sure if this is a regular thing here, but it was nice either way.

I recommend the cherry beer. Quite nice to pair with your meal.

As for music and atmosphere, decent. A little cold (but is is winter as I write this) and they were playing basic top 40s pop, which is fine in my book. Staff was quite friendly and they (or at least out guy) spoke English.

Overall, great experience and I...
