HANBAO

Visited here 2 weeks ago with friends, little too my knowledge that this was actually featured in the top 10 independent restaurants in the UK for many years in a row.

However they were fantastic. Food was amazing, the waiter was lovely and attentive and didn’t pressure you to get more drinks which was nice.

Hear about this place online, also had good reviews so made the 30 min trip to go. If you are lucky and go later or on Sunday there is free parking on the side of the street, otherwise during the day you will have to find a paid car park and walk, there's plenty around but will be a few mins walk.

It was amazing. The decor of the place is great, really trendy. There is music playing, it's not very loud but does cause the place to be a bit noisy so don't expect a quiet meal out.

The staff were very attentive and we were not left waiting, it was busy inside but we were served quickly for drinks, there is a very good cocktail menu but also a good selection of mocktails suitable for non alcohol drinkers. Someone on another table ordered a cocktail that arrived on fire, it was really impressive.

After the drinks arrived the guy took our order, our son is picky so asked for a few changes, all were took without issue. It took around 15 mins for the food to arrive and wow it looked great and everything exactly as ordered.

Once we finished the guy cleared our table and asked if we wanted more drinks or the bill, we said bill and he asked if we wanted the card machine, we said yes and straight away we had paid and on our way.

Really great staff, no messing, no waiting around just a great hassle free tasty meal in a really nice atmosphere. Will definitely go back again.

For 3 burgers, 3 mocktails and 3 sides is came to just over £67 thst I think is reasonable considering the taste of the food and drinks.

Absolutely brilliant.

Firstly. We were super impressed with the service and attention to details such as double checking food allergies at time of booking and again when seating us. The staff were all friendly and seem to know exactly what they are doing and although the restaurant was busy the staff didn't appear to be rushing or stressed and gave off a cool air of chill which really helped set the tone of the restaurant.

The restaurant itself feels super trendy with dark decor, pops of bright red, and a really cool neon lit tunnel to walk through at the entrance. You almost feel like you're entering a different dimension. There is a roof terrace too but we didn't see it this time round although will have a look next time. Excellent atmosphere overall.

There was a great choice of non alcoholic mocktails which we were pleased to see and they were obviously thought out and interesting instead of the common basic 'fizzy juice' options you often see at places.
The menu was full of awesome burgers (well, it is a burger joint) with a really varied and interesting selection, with lots of weird and wonderful options, and the actual food served did not disappoint our expectations. The burgers were amazing and we really enjoyed them. The loaded fries were great too but be warned the portions are huge! 😍😂

Service was quick, and our waiter even gave us the option to get the bill quickly or to chill a bit after the meal. This impressed us as we are the 'eat and leave' kind of family so get frustrated when it takes ages to get the bill and pay after we have finished eating.

Overall the food and service here was brilliant and we can't wait to return!

Highly reccommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I've always wondered: why pay so much for a burger when you can get a takeaway burger for so much less, but I was not disappointed. Probably the best burger I've ever had. Also the chips were awesome, although chips and a burger is a lot of food. I'd recommend sharing the chips. Everything was delivered quickly and piping hot. Apart from the drinks - they were meant to be cold.

The restaurant is clean and modern, while the service was pleasant and friendly. Can't fault the place!

Been going for a couple of years now. And still love the place. Food is excellent, Staff are really friendly, and they do great (bourbon) cocktails. Kids meal is also great value… Burger Fries and a drink = 7

The hype around Hanbao is completely true. I’d waited far too long to try it, so went twice in the space of a week! The venue itself is really unique, and the food is out of this world. Packed with flavour and a plethora of options, it won’t be long til I’m back! Glorious

The venue is nice at the back and the service was very good.

The juicy burger was indeed juicy, however the special sauce added a strange taste to it.

Perhaps a poor choice.

Having said this my friend had the piggie smalls burger doubled up and had a similar taste and experience.

We both left thinking it's not our number 1 choice for a burger. It was good. Just not as tasty as we had hoped.

The presentation of them is superb though.

When I can, I go to the beefy boys in Hereford which personally has the edge over this. Everyone's tastes are different which I appreciate.

The BBQ chicken wings were good and the fries ok with the toppings, although the bacon-aise needed something more to it.

It was a good meal, but it's a burger were I wouldn't rush back to have another. Which is a shame as I had high hopes for this place.

I went here with my 2 children last night I had a table booked for 9pm. The parking was round the corner short walk to the restaurant pay and display. The atmosphere here is just amazing the music the staff the decor 💯 on point. The food was delicious so much flavour so fresh 😋. The waitress was very kind helpfull and had great communication skills. Id deffo go back the whole experience was 10/10
