Xiao Bao is named after co-owner Duolan Li and is originally inspired by our seven month honeymoon throughout Asia in 2009. Biscuit represents the South, working with great people here - local farmers & fisherman - & reconnecting to the idea of comfort food from our childhoods.

We are located in Optimist Hall, a food hall, in Charlotte NC. For more info and our Charlotte menu, please see Charlotte tab.
