One of the OG bakeries in Chinatown, they have self-serve bins where you choose your baked goods like coconut buns, pineapple buns and egg tarts. No credit cards accepted I believe, just cash or debit (over a certain amount) only.

Visited this bakery in Chinatown for the first time last week. The box of 9 bread and pastries came to a little less than $16. Most breads were around $1.40 and the most expensive pastries were around $2.50. All of the breads we tried had tons of filling. The quality is much better than any breads and pastries I've had from HK bakeries in Vancouver.
The highlights are: 1) BBQ pork pastry 叉燒酥: super flaky, tons of filling and tasted delicious warmed up in the toaster oven. 2) BBQ pork bun: the bun was pretty much stuffed full with BBQ pork. Bread itself is fluffy and chewy. 3) Wife cake: excellent slightly chewy filling. Hard to find wife cakes like this! 4) Egg tart: not too eggy, crust is flaky. 5) Taro pineapple bun: loved the taro filling which did fill up the entire bun.

We've been going to Shan Shan Bakery for over 10 years. The pastries are always fresh, consistent, and are among the best in the industry! The prices are lower than most other bakeries, but it doesn't feel like there's any compromise. The owners are always very kind and welcoming.

This place was nice and clean and beautiful. Their baked goods are excellent, especially for the cost. I recommend their curry buns.

Great chicken buns and char sui buns, fresh and very inexpensive. Nice ratio filling to bun.

I love their bakery. My dad and I always go there to get buns and stuff there when we are downtown.
Excellent old school Chinese bakery. Some of the lightest, fluffiest and most sophisticated pastry available. Made by a master.

There BBQ buns can sit on my face.Also what criteria does this Albert Wu use to review places. Just because you use decimals to rate a place 8.1234/10 don't make you a food critic.

Great Asian bakery. With the closure of Garden Bakery and Hong Kong Bakery in China town it was hard to find a replacement bakery place. The BBQ Pork Puffs are super delicious, filling is brimming full with a great flavour. Their puff is way better than Garden Bakery's ever was. The Long Donut has nice chew and is also delicious. The Pineapple BBQ Pork bun is also a good choice, the mix of sweet and salty satiates the palette. Overall, great bakery and I wish I knew about this place earlier. It is cash only or e-transfer, just bring cash :)
