Words that have been translated to mean 'little one' are pronounced 'Xiao Bao' in some Asian countries. Xiao Bao Biscuit in Charleston, South Carolina, which opened in March 2013, is known for providing Asian soul food dishes. It offers select dishes which are inspired from ones found in China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. At Xiao Bao Biscuit, which is in Cannonborough-Elliotborough and located inside an old gas station, the menu changes seasonally, with rotating daily specials and family style dinner services. Crowds will range from families to college students, and everyone in between.

The Chinese term of endearment, 'xiao bao' was a perfect way for the owners (Joshua Walker and Joey Ryan) to describe their restaurant. The word “biscuit” was added to the name to reflect what the owners enjoyed during their travels to Asian countries. The Xiao Bao Biscuit is one of the few places in Charleston that still doesn’t actually serve biscuits.

The authentically inspired Asian comfort food along with classic Southern cuisine truly takes advantage of creativity and local Charleston, South Carolina produce. The groups of farm-produced crops and goods, including fruits and vegetables, meats, grains, oats, etc. allow meals served to customers at the Xiao Bao Biscuit to be enjoyable and fulfilling. The Xiao Bao Biscuit is a true Asian eatery, with reclaimed wood, a big plant collection and genuine chopsticks on every table. This 'little one' city spot has enthusiasm.
