    We looked around for a few 'Best Asian' options beforehand as we'd eaten here before and wanted to try something new.... after a pointless search of hum drum sushi/noodle/blah blah restaurants, we unanimously agreed to come back to you. Food did not disappoint (even if lots of it all came at once, which was a slight oversight on behalf of the kitchen), tasted fantastic, well presented, speedy service. what really makes Bao Down stand out is the quality of the service. Catherine was very helpful in moving us around from outside to another table indoors. Our server, Penelope (?) was great - kind, caring and professional. Loved every second. many thanks, Steve & family

    Penny and the young lady makager were fantastic! we so enjoyed their conversation and expertise. Penny chose all our dishes fir us and they were all delicious. we had a rather loud table below us so difficult to hear at tines but it made the ambience fun. All the staff was top notch and tge food one of the best asian we have had. We have eaten well in Capetown and would return to Bao Down if we had the chance!

    Bao Down Restaurant, Thank you for making our first visit to your restaurant such a wonderful experience and the flavours were perfectly balanced. Ellah - Your service for the four of us was absolutely outstanding. This was such a great first time experience. Thank you for going above and beyond to ensure that our dinner experience was exceptional and you understood the cuisine and made excellent suggestions.
