One of the best places to eat in Uxbridge. Very nice and cosy place. The food is very unique and I would definitely recommend to try Basil Bliss Green Curry with chicken and their Lamb Bao. The staff are all friendly and very helpful.

First visit to OBB. Left 200% impressed. Had the soft shell crab bao with salad and sweet potatoe fries, along with an iced tea with crushed dates. There was something very special about the sauce in the bao, really binding ingredients together, delicious! Service perfect. Fab lunch & brilliant find while shopping in Uxbridge! Thank you 🐼

The bao is soft and generously portioned. The katsu chicken with mango yuzu sauce and the prawn tempura tamago with kabayaki sauce are delicious and flavorful. The squid rings and the edamame spring roll are on a whole other level.

A nice little place nestled in a quiter corner of Uxbridge. Decor is really cute, and the menu items look appetising. Food was good - we had the prawn tempura rice bowl, which came with little corn fritters and tamago (egg), the tofu kare udon soup, and a chicken cutlet and a soft shell crab bao. The bread of the bao wasn't as fresh as it could've been, and similarly the softshell crab was fishy. Overall, a nice little cafe. I'd go back but not for gua bao.

Great food, lovely music and cozy environment. Brought my mum along today and she really enjoyed the food here. She said it's the best Asian restaurants in uxbridge. Thank you for your attentive service. Will definitely continue to patronise. Your green curry chicken rice bowl and lamb buns are amazing.

★★★★★

The food was absolutely delicious, the service was quick but seating is limited so I highly recommend to book ahead if you want to dine during peak hours to avoid disappointment. The Japanese soft shell crab bao bun was my favourite Bao in comparison to the oyster mushroom Bao. The bao was really soft and we enjoyed every bite. The size of the bao is excellent for the price, you get one piece per plate. The spicy lamb rice bowl was really flavourful and paired perfectly with the sticky rice. The rice bowl also had fried fritters, some carrots and broccoli. The lamb also had a few cashews on top and that complimented the dish really well. The green curry dish was also really delicious and had a slight heat to it which I really enjoyed. I only wished the bowl had more green curry to really enjoy the dish (the meat in the dish was more than sufficient). My suggestion is to serve the dish with just the curry and choice of meat and to provide the rice in a separate bowl. They also provide fresh juices and I would recommend the apple and carrot juice. Overall I really enjoyed this place and would come back to try other dishes.

(New menu attached below) Amazing food, even though the entire menu tastes good, the lamb rice bowl, fish cake green curry, egg bao and chicken wonton soup are probably my favourite. The baos have a great variety of fillings with such a good blend of flavours. Atmosphere is very homely and the people are lovely. Highly recommend as a solo date and also with friends and family.

This place is fantastic. We dined in at around 2pm and had the set katsu chicken, Egg tuck bao, pork toast, spring roll, corn fritte, lychee mojito and rice pudding for desert. Each dish was extremely tasty and well presented. Staff were friendly and the service was very fast. I'm not from the area but we would definitely go here again when next in Uxbridge.

This is my favourite restaurant in Uxbridge by a country mile. Service is friendly and the room is cozy and calm, but the food... the food. The steamed buns are fluffy and more than firm enough to handle the delicious fillings theyre stuffed with. Everything from the egg tuck, sweet and tasty, to the spicy lamb (which is JUST spicy enough and doesnt hit too hard) is delicious and well-priced, and the salad/sweet potato fries that can be added to your order are excellent. The wakfu salad dressing in particular has a great flavour to it. While the bao are the main event, the same fillings can be had in big rice bowls, or you might order some of their perfectly balanced spicy tofu & coconut soup to start off with. Or even just two bao, which is my current go-to. My favorite order - start with the sweet corn fritter, get one egg tuck bao and another, either spicy lamb or duck gaga (with barbecue plum sauce) depending on how Im feeling. A yuzu tea on the side, hot or cold, helps everything down, and if Ive got any room left, Im always happy to order their Ottimmo profitabun - a kind of pastry-bao hybrid filled with chocolate sauce and ice cream. I dont write reviews often, but the world is better with Ottimmo in it and I need you all to go and eat there. Last winter, there was a fire that took them out of business for a few days, and I thought they were closed for good... I could have cried. Ottimmo forever. Give them your money.

Ordered takeaway and waited about 15-20 to pick up the order. The girl at the counter was very friendly. Food was very well prepared and packaged, and everything we had was so delicious. The squid bao bun was juicy, the squid was crispy and chewy. Katzu chicken was very well prepared, very flavourful. Both dishes we ordered with a side salad and fries, which were very good as well. Normally, side salads arent very well seasoned, but this was great, and the sweet potato fries were good. The fish cakes and squid rings were delicious as well. Would definitely order again.

Since discovering it in September 2018, weve been back several times and its a firm favourite! Bao means Bun in Chinese and this little unassuming eaterie has taken it upon itself to make a feature of the Bao experience and introduce it to this little North West suburb of London. Baos come on their on its own or as a meal with an Ottimmo Miso Nutty Salad (cucumber, apple, cauliflower, quinoa, edamame and red onions and is topped with an egg) or a Wafu Salad with Pine Nuts (a vinaigrette dressing with pine nuts, quinoa, red onion and sesame.) and Sweet Potato Chips - these are totally addictive and moreish. I also loved the theatre behind my Flower Blooming Tea. Everything bursts with flavour and yet is so incredibly healthy that its the one place I can eat out and feel like Im doing my body good! More than that, prices are extremely reasonable! I literally cannot sing its praises enough! Vegetarian options: Weve been with vegetarian friends who have been back on their own and have no trouble finding delicious veggie options.

We went for lunch today for the first time and we all really enjoyed it! Even our 2 and 3 year old ate everything! Tried the nori dry pork toast (not to our taste) but the chicken katsu with yuzu, monk bao, chilli squid bao was fab! Juices are made fresh and the yuzu iced tea was very refreshing Will go back to try their udon next time

I was disappointed with what you get for what you pay. Soup was made of thick noodles and few brocoli pieces, thats around 10£, couldnt eat it, ordered tempura prawn for additional couple pounds and got two tempuras made or butter, almost no prawn. Didnt work for me. In central London you can get much better options with plenty of more expensive and nutritious ingredients for exactly same price.

This is a great lunch place in uxbridge. Been their at least 5 times now. The food is consistently tasty and never fails to disappoint on the occasions I have been. If this place was to close down Id be very disappointed. Staff are friendly and when not too busy are observant and the environment is cozy inside. It is nice having pictures of the food from the menus on the wall as it creates a unique style to the decor and also its helpful for seeing what you might be ordering. As you would expect from a small cafe with great food there are a fair few deliveroo orders at lunch time. On one occasion we were waiting ages to be served, for the food to come out and then to pay because so many deliveroo orders came through which was taking up the priorities of the kitchen. Another thing to be aware of is the limited seating inside. So if you are coming at a peak time be prepared to not get a seat unless you book in advance but even times I have been at peak times there are one or two seats still available.

Nice and simple and straightforward. No needless embellishment or complications so the food is able to speak for itself. In terms of the dishes, there isnt much to dislike in how they have been conceived - these are relatively classic taste pairings. I took the squid bao and had it as the full meal option which comes with a coleslaw and sweet potato fries. My only complaint with the food is that the bao bun, which in many ways should be the star of the show, was a little stale. Less like a happy little cloud and more like an OK piece of bread. Not a disaster but still a bit of a shame. The yuzu ice-tea I took was tasty. The interior of the restaurant is very relaxed and feels friendly. Staff were nice.

This place delivers every time! Seriously good food, friendly staff, clean environment and a recently expanded menu. Only thing more I could ask for is a highchair but its not a deal breaker as the restaurant is small and we make do with keeping the little one in the pushchair. Love this place.

Great food with lots of veggie options. I have allergies which can be a pain for me and the staff in Asian cuisine, but they handled it very well. Food was full of flavour and the staff were lovely. Was full by the time dessert came round, but the options look yummy. Will be coming back.

Very quaint and petite setting. Love the simplicity of this restaurant. Service is quick and the lady at the till very polite. Ordered Prawn Gyoza and Prawn tempura. Both were nice and crispy and full of flavour. Enjoyed a nice glass of iced Yuzu tea. This was super refreshing. Its my third visit, and obviously not my last. Thank you for the food

I wish I could give 6 stars! Tasty, classy, imaginative food, served with a genuine friendliness, and yet very affordable. I dont live anywhere nearby, but Im already trying to think of excuses to book another trip to the area, so I can dine here again. Open until 7 only on Friday and Saturday, the rest of the week only open until 3, so adjust plans accordingly - you wont regret it! I wish the owners would relocate to Mirfield, West Yorkshire; we be queuing down the street for this cuisine! A range of food and drink is available from Japan, China and environs. The tempura Oreos with Michi ice cream is fabulous, as is everything else on the menu.

I have eaten here twice in 2 days, on the first day the food was nice with excellent Service. I had the katsu chicken curry rice bowl with prawn gyoza. On the 2nd day, the food was disgusting, I ordered the soft shell crab bao bao. It was really dry and hard and covered in fried breadcrumb. A piece of fried bread rather than actual crab. The service was terrible and the woman behind the till was avoiding eye contact with me so I waited 10 minutes before ordering my second dish and even walked over to the til, like many customers did to order another dish. The Yuzu ice tea was very bitter and not mixed correctly. Because the first dish was so disgusting I ordered the katsu chicken another starter rather than coming with katsu curry sauce it came with a side of soy sauce which did not go well with the chicken. Overall a Very disappointing 2nd visit.

Found this little cafe today on the off chance , so pleased we did as we loved it. Staff were friendly and attentive and food was excellent. The baos were so soft and the fillings very tasty. My little boy even liked the salads and green leaves that came with his katsu curry bao dish and he normally hates leaves of any kind. Every mouthful was delightful and beautifully presented, will definitely visit Ashdon.

An endearing little restaurant and takeaway tucked away not far from Uxbridge station and high street. The food is delicious and always freshly cooked. The set menus make a perfect quick lunch, and great alternative to the many chain restaurants in Uxbridge.

Ottimmo Bao Bao is a great find tucked away near the bottom of Windsor Street in Uxbridge. With friendly staff, a very reasonably priced menu and generally fast service (I came in when it was quite quiet, dont know what its like when busy), this is a great spot for a quick bite to eat. I tried the duck gaga bao, the chicken katsu bao and the bbq pork bun. All delicious - the bao bread is soft and delicious, the duck gaga not too dissimilar in taste to crispy shredded chilli beef from a Chinese takeaway, and the katsu equally delicious. Note that they only accept cash (somewhat of a rarity these days, but if it keeps their costs down, you cant blame them), but there are many ATMs nearby. Ill definitely be back, and heartily recommend them!

Great little homely cafe serving Bao Buns, Katsu, Salads, Udon. Cash Only! They have vegan and vegetarian options, but ensure you tell them this when you order as the menu can be a little confusing. The Ottimmo Salad has egg and dairy in it but the Kale salad doesnt. We made the mistake of ordering the wrong salad. The order slips are confusing to use and could be redesigned to be clearer. We enjoyed the meal however and it was for a very reasonable price of ~£7.50 for a bao, salad, sweet potato fries and a drink. Lots of loose leaf tea choices also. For me there was too much mayo and salad dressing on everything (quite sweet flavours), but it was still good. Bao buns are cooked perfectly. Staff are friendly and accommodated for our slip-up when ordering! Will visit again!

a small delight, go and admire the inventiveness, integrity and graft of the people who run this for some years now, bringing something blessedly original to terribly boring Uxbridge centre eating. Crispy crab Bao is really worth a detour, always consistently good, miraculously concocted in a tiny kitchen. Cute touches trying to brighten a small sticky space. Update - expanded menu with really good udon and rice in bigger portions and fab ceramics. And takes card payments now. Perfect.

The absolute best restaurant in Uxbridge, serving deliciously flavoured meals such as katsu chicken with their own slaw (which I m addicted to) and sweet corn fritters and a wide range of bao buns, including vegan options. Their udon soups are completely unique and the gourmet taste is that which you would find at a much more expensive restaurant. Can t recommend highly enough.
