Top choice in Charleston


From the food geniuses who brought us Xiao Bao Biscuit comes this fusion place where there are no phones, no spoons and seemingly no rules. The playful, strange menu includes items like guava, habanero and cheese ice, which arrives and simply blows your mind. It's the kind of place you don't even want to explain to people, because you can't.

Also it's pretty fun to show up without a clue.
