"Yes, we do specialize in Baos, but Bao Bei is not just a name. "Bao Bei" is a term of endearment in my native language used to describe someone or something you treasure deeply. It is a homage to my family, who have instilled in me the traditions and recipes that I hold dear. Through Bao Bei, I will share these cherished aspects of my culture with the world, one dish at a time. It represents my duty and dedication I have towards my family and lineage. From my childhood, to your personal dining experience. "
