Flavour worth sharing.
Unpretentious pricing.

On the corner of Courtenay & Blair, Lucky 8 Wellington is a cross-breed — a serious kitchen wearing the clothes of an edgy late-night lounge.

Pull up for small plates from $8.88 early, stay for the DJ and the balcony late. Night-market energy on Wellington’s busiest strip.

We love Lucky8! Super tasty Asian Fusion Deliciousness. And at a great price point. We’ve been probably 8-10 times with friends and family and love it.

My partner and I went here for a date last month. The food was really good and we like the idea of different mini portions for the food. It was surprisingly filling and it tasted very good. We just wish there was a way to contact the servers through the app. The drinks was amazing too! We had fun and had a really good time. We'll definitely come back for more

Yum cha is amazing, worth the price tenfold (and in this dumb economy, thats so great). Didnt order drinks so cant comment there but the people, food, ambience, great! We'll be back soon.

If you’ve never experienced yum-cha - then look no further. We splashed out on the premium package, and it did not disappoint. Really broad depth of dishes and flavors - I wouldn’t be able to tell you my favorite. Go hungry, try as much as you can, do your best to pace yourself. Notable mentions: Bang Bang Chicken, Chili Tiger Prawn, Duck Larb, Duck Fried Rice, Auntie Hao’s Glass Noodle and the Bao Platter.
