A Bold New Bao: Meet KIBOU’s Sesame Prawn Toast Bao

Thursday, May 8th, 2025

 

Sesame prawn toast bao bun - a new entry for the menu at KIBOU

At KIBOU, we’re known for serving up some of the most loved Japanese food across Cheltenham, London, Bristol, and beyond. From beautifully crafted sushi to steaming bowls of ramen, and signature plates that fuse flavour with flair. We’re always evolving, and this time, we’ve made a change that we’re sure you’re going to love.

Our much-loved Ebi Stak — a cult favourite among KIBOU regulars — is taking a break from our menu. 😵

But don’t panic. Because in its place, we’re introducing a dish that’s bold, crave-worthy, and set to become the new star of our Japanese menu.

Say hello to the Sesame Prawn Toast Bao — a next-level reimagining of a Japanese classic.

This new signature dish features a soft, pillowy bao bun stuffed with seasoned prawn mix, coated in golden sesame seeds, and deep-fried until crispy perfection. Served with our very own special sauce, it’s a dish that takes the nostalgic joy of prawn toast and gives it a modern, KIBOU-style twist.

It’s bigger. It’s bolder. And it’s already turning heads in all of our venues.

Whether you’re a die-hard Ebi Stak fan or a bao lover on the hunt for your next bite, this is a dish made to impress — full of texture, flavour, and the kind of innovation that makes KIBOU the best Japanese restaurant in town.
