Bangalore's Pan Asian Kitchen
Handcrafted baozi, gyozas, and pan-Asian soul food. Born from family recipes, built for Bangalore.
Who We Are
Where Heritage Meets Heart. It started as a small delivery kitchen in 2021. What it's grown into feels a lot more personal: a celebration of flavours that shaped our chef's childhood, and the family recipes that came with them.
Every dish at Bao To Me carries a story. Our baozi? Born from Chef Wan Ming Li's father's recipes, brought into the present with a little love and a lot of flavour.
We pull from the full width of Pan-Asian cuisine: the quiet precision of Chinese and Japanese cooking, the big punchy soul of Southeast Asian street food.
Three friends started this: a techie who became a chef, a corporate type who ate his way through Asia, and someone who knew how to make it all work. The rest is Bao To Me.
"It's not just about the bao — it's about bringing people together."
Our interiors take their cue from the alleyways of Southeast Asia: layered, lived-in, full of character. Metal shutters, lightbox signs, vintage fans turned into lamps. Real stuff, real charm.
Welcome to Bao To Me. Welcome Home.
Our Space
Think Southeast Asian alleyway, brought inside. Every corner is layered, lived-in, full of things to look at.
Metal shutters. Lightbox signs. Vintage fans that became lamps. It's raw, a little nostalgic, and very much its own thing.
A mahjong mirror, hand-painted murals, posters that made us smile: the details add up to a space that feels like somewhere you've been before, even on your first visit.
What Guests Are Saying
★★★★★
"Came with an empty stomach, left with a full one! Really enjoyed our family-style dining experience at Bao To Me. We were a group of 6 including a toddler. The atmosphere is cozy, the aesthetic is on point — vibrant colors and the decor adds a personal touch to the space. The edamame was wonderfully seasoned with bits of garlic and chilli, and the lotus chips were fried to perfection. I'm already planning my next visit here!"
★★★★★
"Me and 2 of my friends were here for a chef curated tasting menu and we had a great time. All the dishes were tasty but we especially loved the chicken jhol momo, truffle cream cheese dumpling and Hainanese Chicken Rice. The desserts — Matcha Crème Brûlée and Japanese Cheesecake — were absolutely yum."
★★★★★
