I was recently invited to Baozi Inn to try their new vegan/veggie menu and I have to say that it was the best Chinese and Southeast Asian food I have ever had.
All the dishes were beautifully presented, full of flavour and they all tasted distinct from one another. We devoured everything from the deep-fried asparagus (perfectly crisp, not greasy) with sweet chilli mayo to the legendary vegetarian Mapo Tofu, bursting with the Sichuan trinity of preserved mustard greens, chilli, and peppercorn.
The Dan Dan noodles, probably my favourite, were a total standout. They clung beautifully to the rich and complex Sichuan sauce. A must-order! Great for sharing, the dumplings were flavour explosions in delicate dough. I’d happily reorder everything.
Every Monday they have Green Monday where they serve only vegetarian & vegan dishes in order to try to embrace a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle. And they offer 25% discount!
They have two branches. One in Soho (24 Romilly St London W1D 5AH) and one in London Bridge (34-36 Southwark St, London SE1 1TU).
