Little Bao Boy - St Denys

Just off the beaten track in St Denys, Little Bao Boy has quietly become something of a local treasure for Chinese food lovers in Southampton.

They’ve mastered the art of delivering proper, punchy flavours without the greasy aftermath—everything arrives looking as good as it tastes.

The menu leans into bao buns done right: pillowy, steamed pockets cradling sticky pork belly or crispy chicken, all finished with house-made pickles and a slick of hoisin. Their salt and pepper chips come scattered with fragrant chillies and spring onions—far more interesting than the standard fare. Whether you’re after a quick lunch or a full dinner spread, ordering direct from Little Bao Boy means you’re getting food that’s been handled with real care. They deliver across St Denys and wider Southampton, and it’s worth jumping on an order early—word has well and truly spread.
