The Bao restaurant group has announced the opening of a new site at Battersea Power Station on 17 July.
Situated in Arcade Battersea as a standalone restaurant, guests will be greeted by a U-shaped counter wrapping around the open kitchen and bar, and with a low-lit hanging mirror featured overhead.
The restaurant can fit 78 diners, with 10 further diners in a private KTV room which can be booked for karaoke parties.
Drawing on the success of the Shoreditch location, the menu at Bao Battersea will focus on beef noodle soups, featuring two different versions made with noodles sourced directly from Taiwan.
The menu will also feature Bao classics alongside new dishes, such as Sanbei tofu Bao, cheese croquettes, and Danzai noodles. Bao Battersea will also serve a kids menu for the first time ever.
Founded by Shing Tat Chung, Erchen Chang and Wai Ting Chung, the first permanent Bao restaurant opened in Soho in April 2015, following a successful period trading at Netil Market in Hackney.
Regarding the new opening, Chang said: “As we all have backgrounds in art and design, it feels very special to be opening Bao Battersea in such an iconic building. Our KTV room in particular feels like a glimpse into an imagined future from the 1960s, with references to the Power Station’s industrial past as well as one of our favourite films, Playtime.
“The menu reflects the comforting soup bowls we grew up with in Taiwan, along with some exciting new dishes that we’ve been working on behind the scenes.”
