Little Bao Boy - Rylands Estate & Dagenham Dock

Over by the Rylands Estate and Dagenham Dock, Little Bao Boy has become a quiet favourite for proper Chinese cooking. With a solid Food Hygiene Rating and a reputation built on flavour rather than fanfare, this spot knows its way around a wok. The kitchen keeps things fresh and fast, ideal for a midweek treat when you want something packed with punch.

Their bao buns steal the show—soft, pillowy, and loaded with sticky pork or crispy chicken. You'll also find chow mein that's properly charred, and salt-and-pepper dishes that crackle with heat. The cooking leans toward Cantonese classics with a modern edge. Whether you're feeding one or the whole house, Little Bao Boy delivers across Dagenham without fuss.
