About Wagamama Bao Buns
A good bao is about the bun as much as the filling: steamed milk bread, soft to the point of collapse, slightly sweet against whatever salty thing it holds. Wagamama fills theirs generously. The korean fried chicken bao buns at £9.50 put crunchy glazed chicken against the soft bun, the tonkatsu pork version works the same trick with a crumbed cutlet, and the hoisin pulled duck buns lean sticky and rich.
The section prices from £9.30 for the vegan oyster and shiitake mushroom pair, and calories run from 577 kcal to 521 kcal, which makes bao the middle ground between the small gyoza plates and a full main. Nothing in the section carries a gluten free marking, since the buns themselves are wheat. As a sharing order next to mains, one pair per two people works; as a light lunch, a pair with a side covers it.
Wagamama Bao Buns Questions
Steamed buns made from a soft, slightly sweet milk bread dough, folded over a filling. The style wagamama serves is the open fold bao popularised by Taiwanese street food, two per order.
From £9.30 for the mushroom pair to £9.50 for the korean barbecue brisket. Every price in the section is published by wagamama.
Either. A pair eats like a generous starter or a light lunch; two pairs with a side makes a full meal. Calories per pair run from 577 kcal to 521 kcal, which helps the maths.
Yes, the oyster and shiitake mushrooms bao buns are marked vegan. The name refers to oyster mushrooms, not shellfish, though anyone with a mushroom issue should obviously look elsewhere in the section.
No. The bun dough is wheat flour, so nothing in this section carries a gluten free marking. Rice based dishes in the donburi section are the closest alternative.
Tonkatsu is Japanese breaded fried pork, ton meaning pork and katsu meaning cutlet. In the bao it is sliced and sauced so the crumb softens slightly against the steamed bun.
The korean fried chicken pair is the crowd pleaser: hot, sweet, crunchy and soft in one bite. The hoisin pulled duck is the choice if you want the crispy duck pancake experience in bun form.
