Cy-Fair native highlights Asian fusion flavors at Bao Bros. Bistro

Garcia said operating a restaurant has been challenging because food prices have gone up, and he has experienced a lot of shortages during the pandemic. Despite these challenges, he said servant leadership is important to him, and he tries to give back in any way he can.

In addition to running the restaurant, Garcia is an active member of the Army National Guard.

Bao Bros. Bistro has partnered with Metta’s Local Eats, a local foodie group that raises funds for Cy-Fair Helping Hands, which is a faith-based nonprofit. Proceeds support the organization’s efforts to fight hunger and homelessness in the region, he said.

“This is my life’s goal boiled down into one sentence: It’s to empower others to achieve their full potential,” Garcia said.

Garcia said new menu items will be added in the future, and he could potentially expand the business. In the meantime, he said he wants to continue working with Cy-Fair Helping Hands and other organizations to support the community.

“I want to make sure we give in areas where it’s needed, and then we can make an impact,” he said.
