About Bao Wow Knysna

Bao Wow brings vibrant Asian fusion to Knysna's Foundation development on Main Road, serving up steamed bao buns, poke bowls, and pan-Asian plates with a fresh South African twist. The menu is compact but punchy, featuring fillings like sticky pork belly, crispy chicken, and pickled vegetables tucked into pillowy soft buns. It's quick, flavourful, and perfect for a casual lunch or early dinner.

The setting is relaxed and modern, ideal for a laid-back meal with friends or a solo bite before exploring the town. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the quality is consistent. Located in the heart of Knysna, it's an easy stop whether you're wandering Main Road or grabbing something to take down to the waterfront.
