Baba Tang Queens Park Reviews (Feat. Menu)

I recently worked with Deliveroo to make a video about Chinese Mooncake Festival. And the restaurant that we featured was Baba Tang.

I remember trying it thinking that the food is pretty good. Later I found out that it was also owned by Tao Tao Ju, a dim sum restaurant, in Chinatown. I have said that Tao Tao Ju dim sum is excellent, but probably one of the most expensive.

And Tao Tao Ju owner, Anthony reached out about their new opening of Baba Tang. So I went to highlight their resturant cause I think it was brave enough for them to open a dim sum restaurant where there isn't many Asian community.

The quiet shift finally happening in the NW

North West London has gone years without a place making dim sum from scratch. It’s the kind of gap people forget about until a restaurant finally fills it. Baba Tang steps into that space, but the story behind it isn’t just a new opening. It starts with someone who grew up seeing Chinatown from the inside.

The Childhood That Turned Into a Restaurant

Anthony, the owner, didn’t learn how to run a dim sum shop from social media or short cooking clips. His early years were spent inside his parents’ place in Chinatown, absorbing the daily rhythm without anyone needing to explain it. The routines, the preparation, and the dim sum craft formed the foundation he carries today. And Baba Tang isn’t a copy of the past. It’s his interpretation of it, shaped by the way younger diners eat now.

What Is Different Between Tao Tao Ju and Baba Tang

Traditional Chinatown menus like Tao Tao Ju often stretch into the hundreds. Baba Tang doesn’t.

The decision wasn’t financial or stylistic; it’s more practical. A compact kitchen with a small team can only guarantee consistency by narrowing the menu.

Some diners may miss the endless choices, but for anyone who appreciates a focused list and fewer decisions, it works. Smaller menu, tighter control.

Although the prices are still as expensive as Tao Tao Ju in Chinatown, but I would assume it is cause they are freshly making it.
