Where Culinary Creativity Meets Cool Vibes
Bobo Social is like the ultimate hotspot in Elephant & Castle, rocking the perfect blend of trendy vibes and mouthwatering dishes. The second you walk in, you just know it’s not your run-of-the-mill catch up spot – it’s got that cool factor, and the food is on point.
Bobo Social is the destination for your get-togethers.
Ambience:
Exposed bricks, chill ambient lighting, and just the right level of buzz. It’s that kind of place that makes you want to hang out longer, especially when you’re catching up with friends or doing the team dinner thing with your co-workers.
Service:
The service was polite, no doubt about that, but here’s the thing – it took a bit over 40 minutes to get our mains after polishing off the starters. There might have been some kitchen shenanigans going on behind the scenes, but they cannot excuse it.
Drink:
The lineup wasn’t exactly blowing me away with anything super special. But hey, throw some booze into the mix, and you’ll be in for a good time, won’t you?
Price: £
Ah, the classic London pricing – nothing surprising there, unfortunately. Sigh. By the way, I have wondered why they’ve slapped a .95 on every dish? It’s a mystery waiting to be solved.
What I Ordered:
*Crab Tostada
This dish was a total win, seamlessly blending freshness, flavor, and a hint of coastal charm. I could practically taste the sea breeze with the freshness of the crab, instantly transporting me to the British coastline.
The tostada brought its A-game too, with this awesome crunchiness that just made each bite a little moment of happiness.
Chicken Taco
This taco showcased succulent shredded chicken cradled in a soft taco shell.
Let’s talk about that taco shell, though – it deserves a round of applause. Striking the perfect balance, it was both pliable and sturdy, making every bite a seamless delight.
Korean Fried Chicken Fillet Bao
The homemade bao buns stole the spotlight – no doubt about it. They were like a pillowy canvas, soft, fluffy, and expertly crafted. Acting as the perfect vessel for the fried chicken, whose exterior had this tantalizing crunch that just hit the spot.
Sure, I kind of wished there was more of sauce; it would’ve added that creamy goodness and a touch of mildness. But all in all, I was vibing with the sophistication of this well-executed fusion creation.
Bobo ‘Smash’ Burger
This burger was all about simplicity done right. The beef patty, thanks to that ‘smash’ technique, had this perfect seared exterior, sealing in all the juicy flavor.
Every bite was like a party celebrating the goodness of beef, and the modest size just kept the focus right on that amazing flavor.
And that organic brioche bun – it was the unsung hero, holding everything together with this soft, pillowy embrace. They really know their way around a bake, apparently!
*Hand Cut Sweet Potato Chips
OMG, – that first bite was everything I hoped for. The chips nailed that perfect balance between crispy and tender, showing off some serious frying mastery.
And don’t get me started on the Truffle Salt – just the aroma alone was like a teaser for the flavor paradise. Each chip got a smooch of that distinctive truffle earthiness, and the seasoning was a subtle wingman, bringing out the natural sweetness of the sweet potato.
Ding-Dong, flavor town calling!
Conclusion:
In the grand scheme of London’s vibrant dining scene, Bobo Social is a standout. It’s that spot you hit up when you’re craving something extraordinary but still want to keep those laid-back vibes that make dining in this city so darn special.
Round up your crew, soak in the cool vibes, and let Bobo Social be your ticket to a world where the simple chips turn into art, and every meal becomes a full-blown experience.
