The front of the restaurant looks terrible half the plants are dead. There's leaves everywhere. I thought it was actually closed when I drove by as enclosed forever. Y'all need to work on your curb appeal.

The young light-skin them(don’t know what he wants to identify as) was very rude and unwilling to satisfy my simple request as a long time customer is ridiculous…. Not only that claims they have certain policies regarding their menu when I indeed know that’s a lie, I been shopping here since the business opened ordering the same items and I have never had a experience like this

Our server was great, she recommended the mochi dumplings - YUM, the Bao buns and the Japanese cabbage pancakes. They were all quite good. Highly recommend this place!

Been here twice, the bao is probably the worst thing on the menu. Had pretty much every dish, none I would reorder

Love this old gas station serving up food that is an explosion to the taste buds. Went here for a date night after my husband kept saying how great it was, and Xiao Bao didn’t not disappoint.
Went shared the Okonomiyaki/cabbage pancakes, dumplings, and I believe a season chicken dish that they had. Fully satisfied with a delicious meal… WITHOUT breaking the bank for a date night.
Highly recommend.
** also they have their own small lot( about four spots) for parking. Very helpful for downtown.

A very nondescript restaurant right around the corner from where we were staying. Ate outside as it was such a pleasant evening The food was delightful and very reasonably priced. Hubby had the noodles and I had the shrimp fried rice. What a wonderful casual spot!

It's a nice hipster looking place with indie and alternative music in the background 🎸 the staff is super friendly and you can see that they work as a team and get along 👯♂️
I tolerate spicy very little and well 😅 this place has very few menu options and several of them are, guest what? spicy 🌶️😅 however the good reviews and photos made us come 😊 the little I tried from my boyfriend's dish (Pad Kra Pao) it seemed to me that the meat was very well seasoned, and he was fascinated by his dish, the buns we ordered to share were delicious, sweet and soft, both the bun and the meat 🤤; my greens tasted sooooo good, we were impressed; the Jiao Zi were a surprise, I had never tried that flavor profile and I It seemed very interesting honestly but I also started to burn my mouth 🥵 our waitress Natalie saw me struggling with water and my ginger beer and brought me 🥥 milk like 🥹❤️ it was the freakin’ sweetest and most considerate gesture on the 🌎 because I knew that it would be spicy and I still took the risk and didn't ask for help but she was watching our table so she noticed it 🥰 honestly super attentive not only with that but with her whole service during our stay, I am so pleased whenever I get actual quality services, 5 stars for Natalie ⭐️💪
We were satisfied in our tummies and our hearts 💕 (and had some leftovers to go 😋)

It's all about the food at Xiao Bao Biscuit (XBB). It's housed in a very old corner gas station, with picnic table seating. The wait staff is friendly and professional and answered any questions we had about the food. The food comes out as soon as it's prepared, and it is served almost as soon as you order it. I'm experimental with food and spices, so I enjoyed the food, but some in our group did not like the spices and heat. Yes, most dishes have some heat, so it's not for those who do not like that. We ordered two appetizers and three main dishes. The food was served so quickly that we were probably in, served and out in less than an hour. Everyone in our group enjoyed the Orange Broccoli, and the Fried Rice. I also enjoyed the Pork Skewers and Chicken Katsu Curry (both moderately spicy). The Beef Noodles were a bit too salty and pretty spicy - not for the weak at heart. They also have a full bar. One in our group didn't like the XBB version of expresso martini, but that person also doesn't like spices. I had a glass of white wine that I thought could have been better also - not very flavorful. If I did this again, it would be takeout and I'd include an alternative place for those who are not fond of spices.
Incredible menu. Nice servers. Interesting location. Outdoor table was nice.

Overrated and Oversalted food. Terrible service! Also, what kind of restaurant is card only and charges an automatic 3% service fee. Won't be going back again.

Just a heads up here, they don't offer condiments which I guess includes asking for additional sriracha when enough wasn't applied to the dish. Your guess is as good as mine. Oh, I was the only person in the restaurant for an early lunch. Messaging could have been delivered better on the whole condiments stance... If you like it spicy, this might not be your joint.

I was today years old when I found out that there are lunch only items here! Tom chicken was so good and the side that says “vegetables” is actually this delicious kale salad type wonder that smells as good as it tastes! Great place for a date, to bring friends. I took today’s meal to go because I wanted to share with my partner. Otherwise I would’ve sat outside and enjoyed the sunshine!!
Love this place!! Great food and great service!!
