Xiao Bao serves Asian comfort food out of a space on Meridian Street in East Nashville, identified not by a sign but by a strawberry painted outside the door. The kitchen is known for its hand-pulled noodles, part of a creative Asian fusion menu built for sharing.
The drink program runs alongside the food, with cocktails, a wine selection, and a beer lineup chosen to pair with the menu. For larger groups, the restaurant also holds a private karaoke room.
Eater named Xiao Bao to its Essential 38 list for Nashville, and The Infatuation scored the restaurant 9.1 out of 10. Regulars describe it as an unassuming hidden gem, with service frequently singled out alongside the food.
