About Xiao Bao Bao
Located at 216 E 500 S in Salt Lake City, Utah, Xiao Bao Bao is a Chinese restaurant described as a "little gem," offering a cute, friendly, and quaint atmosphere. It appears to be a welcoming spot for a quick and enjoyable bite.
A notable feature of Xiao Bao Bao is its unique fusion cuisine, stemming from the background of its owners. With one owner being half Chilean and the other two Chinese, they have creatively blended these culinary heritages, resulting in dishes like the "empanada bao," which was particularly praised by a Chilean customer who appreciated the combination of Chinese and Chilean flavors.
The menu includes a variety of buns, such as the pork cabbage bun, which was described as soft and meeting expectations, and a Halloween sesame special bun, noted for being soft and sweet. Another popular item seems to be their Xia Bao Bao, which is considered to be well-priced.
Customers have consistently highlighted the restaurant's aesthetic appeal, using words like "cute" and emphasizing the great presentation of the food. The staff is also commended for being friendly and the environment for being clean.
Beyond the buns, Xiao Bao Bao also offers other items like matcha lattes and a wonderful carrot salad, indicating a diverse range of options for a small eatery. For local users in Salt Lake City looking for a Chinese restaurant with a unique twist, offering delicious buns in a charming setting with friendly service, Xiao Bao Bao is definitely worth a visit.

Customer Reviews
Happened to walk by when I was at a teacher training and decided to stop at this little gem. I ordered a pork cabbage bun, a Halloween sesame special bun, and a matcha latte. So cute and friendly and quaint. I hope this place stays around. The sesame bun was soft and sweet and the pork cabbage bun was soft and just as I expected.
Found this little place by happenstance and it was lovely to come in for a quick bite. One of the owners is half Chilean and the two others are Chinese and they created a great fusion bao in honor of one of the owners Chilean heritage. As a Chilena who loves both Chinese and Chilean food the empanada boa was an awesome treat. Very cute, clean and great staff. Food was good and their Xia Bao Bao is a good price point. I love a great presentation with great food and they hit both. The carrot salad was wonderful.
Cute and vibrant atmosphere! The bao breading is light, not heavy. Wish it had more meat filling but overall nice quality made. Friendly staff! Quality spot. We liked how the menu was not too much to choose from nor too little. For the dessert bao buns, the filling was more dense. We would’ve preferred a more warm custardy texture.
I was very excited to try this place out and glad I did! Right when we walked in, we were welcomed by the staff. The decor was really cute too! The menu was simple and had both meat and non-meat options, which was a good variety. We ordered the Cha Siu Bao, Pork Cabbage Bao, Chicken Curry Bao, Dessert Coconut Bao, and a Hong Kong Milk Tea. The Baos were good, with the Cha Siu being my favorite. I wish the pork and curry had a bit more salt, but it wasn’t bad. The dessert Bao was good too and not too sweet. The Hong Kong Milk Tea was pretty decent, but I didn’t see any sugar available for me to add - not sure if it was in the back and just had to ask for it, but I was in a rush and didn’t go back to check. Overall, good experience to try this new place out.
So yummy! I got the combo of the chicken curry and char siu bao and thought it was delicious. The service was also amazing 🌟I’ll be back for sure!
