Ottimmo Bao Bao — Restaurant in London

Customer Service When we came in the waitress immediately approached us with a smile on her face and throughout our meal she was very attentive, explaining what the menu entailed in detail so we would make the right choice of food.

Ambience The place is quite small but very cozy and well decorated. It is good for people of all ages including kids as the food comes fairly quickly , the music is also nice and not too loud so you can have a nice chat while enjoying your meal. Although on the outside it looks quite small, when you enter it becomes very spacious.

Food First of all, the presentation was amazing, food was very colorful and everything was fresh. The chicken was tender inside and crispy on the outside, not to mention that the sweet potato fries were the best ones we have tried so far. Whilst the menu is not large, there is still enough to be able to chose from a suitable meal for all. The drinks are really nice as well, I had a freshly made apple juice and he got a coca cola so there is a fair variety of drinks you can choose from (tea/soft drinks/fresh juice)

Location The place is a bit hidden, but it is close to the station so it is easy to get there. We would advise leaving the car in the car park as the road is quite narrow.

Price The food is good value for your money, with less then 7 pounds you can get a meal with salad, sweet potato fries and a drink.

Overall we were very pleased and highly recommend this to anyone considering it and we will definetrly be going there...

This is my favourite restaurant in Uxbridge by a country mile. Service is friendly and the room is cozy and calm, but the food... the food.

The steamed buns are fluffy and more than firm enough to handle the delicious fillings they're stuffed with. Everything from the egg tuck, sweet and tasty, to the spicy lamb (which is JUST spicy enough and doesn't hit too hard) is delicious and well-priced, and the salad/sweet potato fries that can be added to your order are excellent. The wakfu salad dressing in particular has a great flavour to it.

While the bao are the main event, the same fillings can be had in big rice bowls, or you might order some of their perfectly balanced spicy tofu & coconut soup to start off with. Or even just two bao, which is my current go-to.

My favorite order - start with the sweet corn fritter, get one egg tuck bao and another, either spicy lamb or duck gaga (with barbecue plum sauce) depending on how I'm feeling. A yuzu tea on the side, hot or cold, helps everything down, and if I've got any room left, I'm always happy to order their Ottimmo profitabun - a kind of pastry-bao hybrid filled with chocolate sauce and ice cream.

I don't write reviews often, but the world is better with Ottimmo in it and I need you all to go and eat there. Last winter, there was a fire that took them out of business for a few days, and I thought they were closed for good... I could have cried. Ottimmo forever. Give...

Wonderful food, good service, and a lovely little place. Not much space inside, makes it very cozy when busy. Food is delicious. Ordered almost one of everything, and enjoyed it all.

Soft shelled crab in a steamed bun may well be my favourite. If you don’t like wasabi, just ask for a different sauce, or none at all. Katsu chicken was delicious, with lovely crunch. Squid rings should be eaten as soon as they arrive, but even when slightly cool, were not chewy. Spring rolls are gorgeous. Didn’t think udon soup with tempura prawns would go so well, as it would lose its crispness, but the prawns mixed with the vegetables, and in that broth, were a great starter. Didn’t have a chance to try the salad much, as my wife ate most of it before I could have some, but the peanut sauce is not too nutty, and really adds to the savoury flavour.

All in all, don’t bother with other restaurants if you can get a table here, or can get food here to take away. In this day and age, it’s slightly inconvenient to pay by cash, but there are machines close by, and I’m not going to mark down a restaurant for serving me such great food, just because of a small...
