Why we’d go

The reason to put it on your list

Xiao Bao is best approached as a broad comfort-food vocabulary, not a tour of one country. The dishes are playful, the drinks pay attention, and the private karaoke room gives groups a reason to plan ahead.

Plan the meal

A few things worth knowing

Best for

  • A spontaneous lunch or dinner
  • Playful comfort food
  • A small-group karaoke meal

Start with

  • Omu-style crispy hash brown
  • Okonomiyaki and noodles
  • Creative cocktails
Good to know

Parties of four or fewer usually have the easiest walk-in experience. The private room is the reservation route for larger groups.
