Lucky Bao

​The brainchild of Cheyne Morrisby, Lucky Bao is an eatery in the very laid back area of Hout Bay in Cape Town. The area, dotted with surfers carrying their boards, or cyclists in full training gear, is blessed with a wonderful bay (hence the name) and of course a main street dotted with various restaurants and coffee shops. What makes Lucky Bao stand out is the fact that the menu is small, Korean and very hip.

As it is called Lucky Bao, we started off with the dish it is named after. To those who have not tried a bao, it is basically a steamed bun that is then filled with anything from pork to crispy chicken, to soft crab, to tofu. We tried the ramen fried chicken and it was amazing. We skipped the noodles and broth section of the menu and moved on to the 'specialities' which included a Wagyu burger, chicken wings smeared with Gochujang, honey and sesame, seared tuna sandwiches and beef gyoza (which was amazing). We also ordered some nori dusted fries...which was a great side!
With a very cool, dark and yet cozy atmosphere, Lucky Bao manages to bring the food into focus. Sadly, the staff are less attentive, explaining very little of the menu and a long wait meant we had to drink a bit more beer and wine than usual, but blessed with a gorgeous summer evening, this was not exactly torture.
