“ Take a Bao is a perfect place for a quick bite and delicious food matched with a great atmosphere. The staff was friendly and fast. They also had a nice view of the water and was not busy for the time of day. Would highly recommend. We got 3 different buns, the chicken teriyaki, Peking chicken, char siu chicken. We also got the garlic fries, pork and shrimp steamed dumplings and the spring rolls. ”

“ Also went to Gorilla in town and liked them both a lot. I went back and forth about where to eat between these spots but ended up eating at both! If you’re trying to choose, I would eat at Take a Bao :) ”

“ We ordered take out twice while in Lagos from here. It was very good. The delivery was through Bolt and it was still warm when we got it. Excellent food! My teenagers were full afterwards. We ordered chicken and cauliflower both spicy and none spicy. 3 different kinds of fries, spring rolls and cucumber salad. ”

“ What a great find in Lagos! The baos are soft, fresh, and packed with flavour — I loved the pork belly and the Korean chicken, both perfectly seasoned and not greasy at all. The dumplings were also delicious, and everything came out quickly. Prices are fair for the quality, and the staff are super friendly and welcoming. Cool little spot with a relaxed vibe and a great drink selection. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town! ”

“ Great place for dinner. A few vegetarian choices were available. The bao was very tasty. The Vietnamese rice paper roll salad was also very good. Service was quick and efficient ”

- Meenakshi Swaminathan -

“ Super delicious, flavorful bao buns! You can mix and match if you can’t decide between the various options. The fries were simply awesome, fresh and crispy with a nice spice mix. Sichuan Piri-Piri for the win! The restaurant also has a very nice outdoor seating area with view of the beach. ”

- Simone Ott -

“ What a surprising and excellent find during our stay in Lagos. My husband and I tried a couple different Bao buns, teriyaki chicken and spicy Korean cauliflower. Both were absolutely excellent! I found the flavors just the right balance. I had refreshing sangria and the hubby had a craft beer he would not be able to have at home, which was a win! By the way, this place has a pretty extensive craft beer menu to choose from, along with many cocktails and wine options too! The owner and staff are so friendly and kind. If you are in the area, stop by and give this place a try. This is definitely happy food! ”
