   Sensational flavors of the baos with different kind of meats. Definitely will make your belly full with a heavy but pleasant sensation.

   The food was lovely! Didn’t love it was such a fast turn around restaurant. As you order off a piece of paper it was hard to grab someone’s attention as we didn’t have an allocated to waiter to ask questions on the menu. We ordered and received the food within 30 minutes

   The staff can be very indifferent at Belly Bao. Ive been going there for years and love the room and food and cocktails. The majority of the staff are always great but there is sometimes a cool indifferent attitude that some can adopt there, and I don't know why.

   The service always great. The food was delicious and very fresh. I don’t eat meat, they have lots of nice options to cater for special diets. I loved it all. Especially the eggplant bun.

   Our dining experiences at Belly Bao Newtown have never disappointed. The flavours are mouth watering and the sides ( recommend the curry cheese fries ) leave you wanting more. However the greatest asset Belly Bao Newtown has spare their staff . So warm and welcoming , we feel so at home here.

    Great and very helpful staff, they sadly had to sit us on the bar, but it wasn't so bad. The drinks are heavily over priced and I would just recommend to not bother, go somewhere else for drinks in the area there are better places much cheaper to get a good cocktail. The Orange chicken was by far the best dish, which is a shame for a Bao Bun place when you think about it. The Bao Buns were ok...not great, like Ipuddo makes better ones if you really want to try some. The chicken was dry, the meat was stringy, the pork belly one i didn't even bother eating because it looked bland, and there was no real crackling on it. In the end I recommend you get their burgers and the Orange Chicken as they're far more enjoyable than the buns. Shame really. TL;DR - Drinks cost too much (common problem, not exclusive to this place) - Staff are amazing - The buns are average - Everything else on the menu is better than the buns (the irony) - Ambience is really nice too!
