Mr Bao founders formalise group structure as they look to expansion

The founders of the Mr Bao Group have formalised its structure as they look to expand beyond Taiwanese restaurants.

 

Co-founders Frank Yeung and Abhinav Malde opened Mr Bao in Peckham in 2016, following the original site with Daddy Bao in Tooting in 2018 and then Master Bao in Westfield London in 2019 and Westfield Stratford City in 2024.

 

The group’s most recent addition was cocktail bar Good Measure in Tooting in 2024, its first departure from Taiwanese restaurants.

 

As it looks to expand further with new concepts beyond Taiwanese restaurants the group will be renamed 6 of 1.

 

Malde said: “For a long time, Frank and I thought we might just focus on opening more Taiwanese restaurants and growing our bao offering but we have such a strong team now, with so many varied interests and skills, we have been inspired to push ourselves in a new direction.

 

“This has already happened with Good Measure, driven by the talent of our Daddy Bao bar team, and this is only just the beginning.”

 

Yeung added: “This feels like a really exciting next step for our company. We’re enjoying travelling, researching and testing out new ideas that move away from bao and this is ultimately what has inspired the group name.

 

"The hospitality scene in London is so exciting right now and we want to be building a group for the future that can really compete with other names in the industry that we respect so much.”
