Good food and nice cocktails - Edit
Good vegan selection and tasty food. Service was not great but they seemed overwhelmed by the amount of people waiting to be seated. We were seated outside next to the queue where people were smoking - not great
Read morePros: Good food and drinks
Cons: eating next to people who are waiting and staring , Service can be improved

For the second time they put egg in our Pad Thai - Edit
They definitely do not put any attention for vegan food!
Read moreFor the second time that we ordered there, they put egg in our dishes! Moreover, it is very easy to make vegan curries but they don’t care enough from their vegan clients to make an option for vegan curry (very weird because I eat vegan curry in every Thai restaurant I go). They also very expensive considering to their food. I don’t recommend them.
Cons: The put egg in the dish for the second time! , They don’t have vegan curry even though it’s easy, The very expensive consider to other restaurants

Yummy and fresh - Edit
I ordered a few items for delivery and they were exactly what I was craving. It can be tricky to get vegan dim sum so having that option at Boa-Boa was lovely. We also really liked the gua bao. It's definitely a spot I'll be checking out again.

Delicious vegan Pad Thai - Edit
I had the vegan Pad Thai and it was so good (however, it was my first time having pad thai). I especially enjoyed the noodles which felt freshly made. I also had the eggplant gua bao as a started and totally recommend it - slightly spicy and super delicious.
Read moreThere are not a lot of vegan options, I think just three different main dish options, but there are a bit more for vegetarians.
The vegan chocolate dim sum for dessert was fantastic and definitely a must try!
The restaurant is quite busy but looks very cool and trendy, and the music was groooovy. Our waiter was extremely friendly and gave us a lot of very honest suggestions, which was much appreciated.
Pros: Everything was delicious, Friendly staff and cool atmosphere
Cons: Not so many vegan options

Boa-bao retour plage secrète - Edit
Tres bonne cuisine, cocktails sympas, cadre intérieur agréable mais il faut penser à réserver minimum la veille car le jour même il n'ont pas accepté de prendre notre reservation. il y avait du monde. Nous avons donc mangé en terrasse, c'était quand même bien même si ça ne vaut pas la déco intérieure. Les prix sont un peu chers mais la cuisine et la présentation.peuvent le justifier.
Read morePros: Choix végétarien
Cons: Acceuil un peu froid

Awesome food - Edit
Loved the atmosphere of this place, even though it was very busy. We only had to wait a short time and could order drinks at the bar. Great that they have a separate vegan menu, although we were a bit disappointed there was no vegan bao bun option.
Read moreThe food was great though! We ordered some dim sum, samosa, and wok plates and every bite was very tasty. The only downside may be the price, which is definitely worth it, but a bit more pricy than other restaurants in Lisbon.
Pros: Great food, Great atmosphere, Separate vegan menu
Cons: No vegan bao buns
Boa-Bao
IrisvanKleinwee, first of all, thank you so much for taking some time to leave us your feedback! We're happy to see you enjoyed this Asian veggie experience with us?As for the Bao, we're definitely going to pass your suggestion to our chef's team. We hope you have the chance to come back!

Tasty food and separate vegan menu - Edit
I travel with a meat-eater, so I would give this place five stars for having a separate vegan menu - it just makes things so much more convenient. The food was tasty, loads of vegan options, the atmosphere was very modern/trendy and the staff was very friendly.

Big bonus that they have a separate vegan menu with both starters, mains and desserts. The spring rolls are amazing, but the dim sum was pretty bland, and not worth the price. Really cool atmosphere and nice staff :)

Expensive but nice - Edit
The food is good but not amazing. However the price is pretty high. The dim sums were a little tasteless. The mains were good (although add some soy sauce and they will be better) however they took a long time and brought me tofu fried rice with no tofu so I had to send it back, and wait another ten minutes just to receive 6 cubes of tofu.

Pros: Separate vegan menu with lots of options

Really Tasty Asian Food - Edit
Came here for dinner with non-vegan partner as they have a seperate vegan menu. Really nice variety on the menu and an overall good setting. The food was fantastic, but was quite expensive compared to other places in Lisbon. The food is still worth it though as it is a good place for a special night out. The vegan dumplings were not anything special, but the vegetarian bao bund and vegan pad Thai were phenomenal.
Read morePros: Very delicious food, Cool interior
Cons: Expensive
Boa-Bao
Emma, thank you complimenting us on the variety of vegan options we have! As for the dumplings, we're going to definitely pass your feedback to ours chefs, so maybe next time your opinion can change to a more positive one. Thank you so much! Hope to see you soon?The Boa-Bao team.

Delicious Vegan Options!! - Edit
This restaurant was really good- I came here with my non-veg family and all of us enjoyed our meals. There is a separate vegan menu, off of which I ordered a vegan pad Thai with tofu. Simple but super delicious! There are also two vegan desserts, which is hard to find in a non-vegan restaurant. I will be back the next time I come to Lisbon!
Read morePros: Separate vegan menu, Vegan desserts, Flavorful and delicious food!
Cons: Pricy, Apathetic waitress
Boa-Bao
WOW, Carolinep! Thank you so much?We can't wait for you to back... We still have plenty of Asian vegan flavors for you to try! So we truly hope your next visit to Lisbon (or Porto - yes, we have another Boa-Bao in Porto) will be soon! Thank you, the Boa-Bao team.

Bland soup. - Edit
Unfortunately the noodle soup I ordered was very bland. I had to add amount 6 spoons of chilli to taste anything. Didn’t get much tofu either.. it seemed like a filler option so it looked like they had more vegan options. And, for the price of €8 for 6 small pieces of dim sum I thought it was very overpriced!

Trop épicé et gras - Edit
Si les épices vous font peur, passer votre chemin. Ici, même les plats sans le logo du piment sont horriblement fort. Je n'ai pas pu manger mon plat, et pourtant j'avais insisté auprès du serveur. Mais on notera leur service impeccable, car à ma demande ils m'ont servi un nouveau plats sans aucun épices. Et sans surcoût.
Read morePar contre, cela reste très gras.
Boa-Bao
Vegadoude, we’re sorry to hear about your experience with us. We’re an Asian restaurant and spices are the soul and base of every recipe we have. But we’re really glad one of our hosts was able to solve the situation?With that said, we believe we still have a lot for you to discover so please, if you can, come back again to live a more positive experience. Merci, the Boa-Bao team.

Delicious but expensive - Edit
The most expensive but best Pad Thai I ever had! Definitely worth the money. The staff is really friendly and asked if i‘m vegan or not so they can cook the meal without fishsauce. My food came 5 minutes after I ordered it. But the restaurant is not for the small purse.
Read morePros: Friendly staff, Good food
Cons: Expensive

Well, youja, we can only thank you for your amazing compliment to our Pad Thai. It is, indeed, one of our best sellers and we love it too?Looking forward to receive you again, the Boa-Bao team
