    Bao Down is my one must-visit whenever I come to Cape Town. The food is sublime and on point every time. Gorgeous ambience and decor, good service and unbeatable flavours.

    As always, the food was delicious (we can't go to Bao Down without having the Korean chicken boa, but in addition to that, the yellowtail sashimi and beef takaki are soooo good!) and the service was friendly & efficient. One of my favourite restaurants in Cape Town!
