    Lucky Bao was absolutely amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and were able to spend quality time together. The ribs are an absolute must and so is the tempura eggplant. Overall one of the best restaurants in the coast.

    Lucky Bao’s food is, as always, a taste fest! The lamb ribs are the best. I choose the table closest to the “kitchen” as it’s exciting to watch the huge amount of activity happening in such a small space resulting in such outstanding culinary results.

    Used to be one of our favorite restaurants. Unfortunately last night the service was horrible and and it took 1 hour and 20 minutes for our food to come out. It makes me sad to say we won’t be back.

    The food is always amazing! We tried the lamb ribs this time which I thought were a little overpriced, but still delicious.

    Food at Lucky Bao was so delicious. I hadn't been in ages so it was nice to come back and the food be just as good, if not better. the salmon sashimi was my personal favourite. Food is on the more pricey side however the quality was incredible, worth every dollar.
