ViB Bar - Bao Bun Bar — Restaurant in London

COVID-19 REVIEW (Second Wave)

Design The design for the restaurant is intriguing as you don't know if it is a run down shack or the decor is meant to be that way. I never been to Vietnam, but the decor does have a vibe feeling of the place. But the store front and store sign looks likes it was a makeshift design.

Food I really really like the boa, I tried the chick boa and my partner tried the caramelised pork boa. One thing I love about the dish is the design layout. The way the pieces and food were placed in the bun are so wonderful and delicious! Just so mouth watering looking.

We also tried the coconut dessert, it was an ice-cream coconut. It wasn't amazing as I thought but my partner really loved it. I was impressed with the coconut shell used to contain the ice-cream, that was very unique. And the portion for the ice cream was fair, cost almost £4. Unlike other places that gives ice-cream and you get a tiny Ben n Jerry's tub.

Price Price is fine, the bun are not so feeling, though to me they are more like snacks or brunch. Though if you add drink to your meal, you can get full up. It is perfect as a breakfast or quick lunch. The price is reasonable, mostly £4 for the boa's. The meal layout, steamed bun and feeling is worth it. Burger King meal are usually £4-6 for just a single burger, therefore you are getting equivalent to this Vib meals.

My drink was a guava juice which cost £2, and it was nice. I was not sure if it was a Sun Exotic brand or freshly made. Though it would be nice if they asked the customers if they would like ice with their drink.

Unfortunately they ONLY take cash.

Waiting We didn't wait long to be served, it was not even busy deposit the time being around 1pm. I had to run to get cash from cash to machine, and by the time I came back, the meal was ready!

The lady serving was the only one serving and doing the cashier and bringing food to tables. Due to this, our drink was delayed. The drink was SUPPOSED to be served first when eating at any restaurant.

Customer Service Nothing to complain, she was very nice and served us nicely with polite attitude.

OVERALL I highly recommend this place, if you want to try a different style food, try the boa! Price is reasonable and not pricey.

I cannot wait to try all the...

Please avoid these scammers!!!

I ordered 2 chicken bao buns and a side of fried chicken from Uber eats. I did not get the side of fried chicken but instead got vegetable spring rolls. Also the bao buns were nothing like what was shown on the pictures. I got buns with barely 2 pieces of chicken on each of them. It was like a joke how little amount of chicken was in there.

I am extremely unhappy with my uber order today. I was looking forward to having some good baos. But instead what I received was severely underwhelming. The fact that the portion of actual chicken in the bun was so minisicule that it should be a crime to false advertise their food products as being so luscious and huge when in reality it is the opposite.

But thank you for showing me where not to eat bao buns...

Had a super juicy and yummy chicken bao and fresh apple juice for my lunch today. I'm writing this review to clarify that unlike a lot of other reviews mentioned, this place isn't "expensive" for what they are offering! £7 for a good Bao is absolutely worth it. And we can't compare it to the fried chicken and other places. Please be kind!

This is exotic and wow. As someone who has visited Vietnam before, I got flashes of the country while eating this Bao. Absolutely will visit again and again! This place deserves more people.
