Xiao Bao Biscuit

DELICIOUS! Located in an old gas station Xiao Bao Biscuit is an absolute gem. Start with some tasty cocktails, maybe one with schezuan to get your taste buds jumping, and follow it up with some delicious family style food. The okonomiyaki is a delicious meal, especially with the pork candy on top! Will certainly be back for dinner to get some Bao buns as well! On top of everything you get to watch then make home made dumplings!

What a gem of the restaurant. It is a very funky place, so cool and unique. The menu is limited but the food is absolutely delicious. Some dishes were quite spicy like papaya salad but tasted so good. Dumplings were amazing. And the okonomiyaki - cabbage pancake so delicious. They do not make any changes to their dishes. The portions are very generous. Highly recommended.

We totally vibed at this dope spot for lunch. The ambiance was chill and cozy, setting the perfect mood. Now, even though they kept it low-key with a limited menu, they straight-up nailed it in the food department. Trust me, it was lit! We went all out and ordered some next-level dishes. The Fancy Boy Fried Rice. It was the bomb! And that Green Curry Fish with Red Snapper. Mind-blowing! But the real showstopper was those dumplings, my dude. Watching them being crafted from scratch? That's some next-level culinary artistry right there. Oh, and we didn't forget about the little ones. The kids' menu came through with some crispy fried chicken and rice. It's all about keeping it cool for everyone in the crew, and this place delivered on that front. Can't wait to hit it up again! 🍽️🔥😎

It was our final night in Charleston and we had already eaten dinner, but I saved this place for a long time and wanted to try it before we left! We came here already full, and despite this, had an amazing experience with EXCELLENT food! Xiao Bao Biscuit really is a gem of Charleston - if you like unique, creative Asian fusion food, this is the place to go. We got their Lucky Dog Sake (imported from Japan in a little juice box container; very creative), fried dumplings with chili caramel lemongrass pork and peanut filling, as well as the pad kra pow. Everything was awesome!! The sake was great, the pad kra pow was amazing (easily as good as the best we had when visiting Thailand last year), and the fried dumplings were on another level of good!! They were some of the best dumplings we’ve ever tried, and top it off, they were gluten-free! I absolutely recommend getting these before anything else - I could have 20 of them and still not get tired. This is an amazing place, service is wonderful, and I totally recommend visiting next time you visit Charleston!

The Okonomiyaki with egg and pork candy was the best food I've had in a long time. And I haven't been depriving myself of good food. The fancy boy rice was so good but the Okonomiyaki was S-tier. Got a yummy aperol-tequila drink and the bok choy and dumplings. Everything was so good... But the Okonomiyaki changed my life.

A great place for dinner, it’s quite delicious. I love the hipster atmosphere they have going on. You walk in and know things are getting made from scratch. Staff is friendly and attentive, portions are shareable. My only complaint was the meals were extremely salty, not sure if that’s the norm or if it was just our dish. The salt overpowered the flavors. Still delicious.
