Nine Tailed Fox brings a Chinese dining experience to Baltimore, featuring bold flavors, refined techniques and a menu inspired by regional specialties. With a focus on authenticity and innovation, Atlas Restaurant Group’s newest concept offers an approachable take on traditional Chinese cuisine. Nine Tailed Fox’s culinary program is executed by Executive Chef Jeffrey Mei (Shirong Mei). Chef Mei brings 29 years of experience in leading kitchens at many top restaurants. Originally from China, Mei specializes in Chinese cuisine, blending tradition with innovation. His leadership and culinary expertise will shape Nine Tailed Fox into a regional dining destination.

Drawing inspiration from a powerful figure in Chinese mythology, the name reflects both the restaurant’s cultural roots and its contemporary culinary vision. The Nine Tailed Fox is a legendary creature from Chinese folklore that symbolizes transformation, wisdom, and longevity, and it’s often portrayed as a fox capable of developing additional tails as it grows older and gains more power and knowledge. By the time it reaches nine tails, it is said to possess near-immortal qualities, embodying magic, grace, and intelligence. This historical significance resonates with the restaurant group’s mission to offer sophisticated and evolving dining experiences while continuing to gain knowledge from each new concept that it has opened.
