My go to food is always the Katsu chicken curry with rice and a side of bao buns (usually the pork and duck) and it’s my favourite thing to eat. I usually get takeaway delivery’s and every time the food is good. So filling too! Highly recommend!

Popped into Stacks for something to eat and after wandering around decided to try Bao Down. The plan was to try a few places so we got 2 bao buns and some fries. It was very quiet so the food was ready very quickly. The duck and the crispy prawn buns were both very good but would have been better with the prawn chopped up but I guess that's a presentation thing. Everything we tried was hot and delicious, would like to get back to try other offerings on the menu.

Visited midday on a Sunday, not too busy so very quick service and cooked to order for us. Reasonably varied menu, with Bao buns, gyoza, loaded fries plus a couple of other options. We both had loaded fries, which at over £8 meant that with a can on soft drink each you're looking at nearly £22 for two people's lunch. Food itself was good, nothing spectacular but I'd say better than average for street food - amount of fries meant both pretty full afterwards, could have done with some more topping for the price but otherwise a good lunch, with the added bonus of live music.

If you want nice food with a side order of I hate working here and a smidge of doom and gloom come here!!! The food is really nice but the lass working behind the counter either hates her job or just hates everything and anyone. Not a single smile or acknowledgement of anyone's existence when ordering food. Just smile and actually acknowledge people placing orders rather than grunting and looking like your have just parents told you that you are adopted

Disappointing, unfortunately. The buns themselves were no where near good enough in my opinion. Will try again in a few months.
