  “I should caveat that this review is for a *takeaway* order - I did not eat in at Hanbao. I ordered the ‘juicy’ burger and the ‘big buddha belly’ fries, both pictured. The burger was very tasty, albeit the patties were a tiny bit overcooked for my liking. None the less the portion size was large and flavourful. I absolutely loved the big buddha belly fries - essentially potato waffle fries with a barbecue sauce and pulled pork topping. Again, the portion size was good, with a lot of pulled pork. My only quibble was that there was no disposable cutlery included with my order, despite me requesting it - this made eating the fries a bit tricky! I’d recommend Hanbao and look forward to going back,”

  “We went in around 18:30 today. Got sat down immediately. Our waitress was absolutely lovely (I wanna say her name was Jenny but I can't remember and I feel so guilty) and the excellent service! Helped my friend pick out their cocktail and helped me decide between the Piggie Smalls and the buffalo and Blue (Went for the Piggie smalls given my love of pulled pork). Food was absolutely divine, the tiger bites, wings and fries were uber crispy and tasty! Will be coming back next time I'm in Brum! The Banoffee Pie Sundae was also to die for! A little sweet for my friend but me and my other friend loved it! 10/10 would recommend! Worth every penny!”

  “We turned up quite late on Saturday night after strolling down from our hotel a 20 min walk away. I’m so glad we chose to dine at HANBAO on our one night in Birmingham after reading about it as one of the recommended independent restaurants on a website article from a local foodies. On arrival, we realised we probably should have booked a spot on the easy to navigate website. A friendly woman waiter told us it might be around 5 minutes if we waited at the bar, and it felt like she was making something happen for us around the many bookings. We were looking through the menu and it didn’t take long at all before we were directed to a table. I love burgers and have built up quite a few experiences around the world with them. The sweet and salty combinations, flavoursome quality patties combining three different cuts of beef cooked to perfection and stand out creativity that went into my Big Kahuna (the special) was a lifetime burger highlight. Every bite to the very end was delicious which often isn’t achieved with other tasty burgers. The sauces, grilled pineapple, freshly created bun, meat and cheese perfectly complimented each other. It was a burger that tasted unique in the best way. It was rich but I was locked in for this type of meal. The sides were also highlights in their own right. Loaded chips other establishments could only dream of with the Asian influenced flavours created. Somehow we had room for the brownie sundae. Each element to this dessert came together like magic… again one of the best desserts I’ve ever tasted with nothing scrimped on. It will be difficult to go back to the typical burger with a standard patty and bun, typical chips and standard dessert offerings from restaurants/cafes and pubs after this experience. The price point was different to dining in London and elsewhere in the UK and Europe, it felt noticeably more affordable but I would have paid more. The ingredients, skill and care created dishes that were significantly better. Our waiter Ranya’s friendliness, attentiveness and genuine excitement for me to not miss out on the final Big Kahuna burger for the week really elevated our experience. It was a stand out service from my time in UK and Europe. HANBAO’s creators do things differently and this doesn’t come at the cost of delicious outcomes, their unique creations deliver the best flavours. Appreciate their website for its clean, easy to navigate aesthetic and functionality. Their decision to take proper photos of items for discerning potential customers and archive each creation shows how much they care about the works of culinary art they have created in their history.”

  “Best burger joint in the UK! Me and my fiancé have been visiting Hanbao Birmingham around 6/7 times a year for the last 3 years now, and also travelled all over the place and never came across a better tasting place. Love the unique flavours here, always cooked perfectly and staff are great. Attached some pics, I’ve had almost everything in the menu and most specials. One thing to know the parking is limited outside the place, and some local car parks have poor reviews. But we’ve always been fine!”

  “Food - best way to describe it is a flavour attack and in all the best ways. Unbelievable food from the sauces, to the meat to the crispiness of the chips Service - friendly quick and super attentive Atmosphere - love the Asian meets industrial vibes. Can’t lie the food in the steamer baskets is an elite concept And for the size of your burgers I think it’s pretty well priced/cheap”

  “Really yummy burgers, we got the vegan ones due to allergy concerns (chicken burgers are all buttermilk which isn’t stated on the menu, had to ask) but they were lovely and moist, big too. Well worth the £14. Well presented seating area and fully enclosed toilet stalls with sink/dryer. Little disappointed with a few small things. £4.50 for fries so was expecting it to be a large portion to share given the atmosphere and style but it was much smaller than expected, so for 1 person. Soft drinks were listed at £3, We were asked if we wanted large or medium but the menu only shows one size so a little confused but overall a really good time. The music was a little loud and we had to yell a little but that’s personal preference. Speedy service and kind host”

  “Absolutely amazing service! When walking up to the location i was a bit concerned as it wasn’t really in a busy area however when i walked in all my concerned melted away. The food and service was absolutely incredible, we will absolutely be back when we are next in birmingham! Our server Yohannes was so so lovely and even the lovely girl who showed us to our seat made us feel welcome and talked us through the menu. Great experience”

  “This was my first time at Hanbao Birmingham, we love the Hanbao in Worcester and thought we’d give this location a try as it is now more convenient for us. Their burgers never disappoint, they’re always full of flavour, more than enough food and presented so well. I was so happy to see Odd Future back on the menu and thoroughly enjoyed reliving how delicious it is. The restaurant was clean, decorated well and had a great atmosphere. We enjoyed the Odd Future, Shanghai Noon, Tiger style fries and Korean Mac Balls, followed by the Fudge Brownie Sunday. Their cocktails/mocktails are both again, full of flavour and there’s a real variety on offer. Yohannes was our server and he created a relaxed and comfortable experience for us, checking in on us throughout, but also allowing us to enjoy our time. Thank you to all of the kind staff we interacted with, we love both of the Hanbao locations and would highly recommend.”
