There was no coconut cream bun so a lady offered to make one for me. I thought this was so nice of her… turns out the bun was stale and old so was the cream. Taste like plastic and rotten. Disappointed and disgusting business… what scammers just for a couple dollars to do bad business

I was very disappointed with the hygiene practices during my visit. The staff was wearing the same gloves to handle money and then used those same gloves to pick up steamed buns by hand.

I understand the cost of manufacturing the buns have gone up but at least provide more filling to my chicken bun. I am disappointed with the quantity of fillings. It’s almost like eating a plain bun. In the attached picture I am halfway done eating the bun.

I blame my girlfriend for this review. I am a diehard Maxim’s loyalist and so is my family. I kept telling her I don’t really want to try other Asian bakeries, but she suggested that we try this place one weekend morning.
First experience walking in is that it’s very “home-y”, but that’s about it. We bought the pineapple buns, tuna bun, hotdog-cheese bun and wintermelon pastry.
The tuna bun had about enough tuna for an infant, the pineapple buns weren’t sweet at all and quite dry, and the wintermelon pastry was just flaky without much flavor.
Maybe the batches made that day were for an audience with more sensitive tastebuds. I would not recommend it here.

This local Chinese bakery store is located on Victoria and east 44 besides the coastal urgent care clinic. They're selling the usual HK style sweet and savory buns and rolls plus all kinds of Chinese specialty food like BBQ, taro, vegan buns , leaf wrapped rice cakes etc. it's now more expensive than before but food quality is good and fresh. Recommended if you are in the area.
This bakery is one of my favorites. The bakery goods are all very good and in these days of pre-diabetic scares, they have cut down on the amount of sugar in their goods. That I've heard from the owner and is very responsible of him. The selection is always great but the only improvement is to not bag them so early in the day. Somehow when you bag them, it appears as though the goods are not fresh and possibly old. No need to do that because most of their goods sell out before the end of day. Another reason I like Pinehouse is the way they miniaturized the popular items. Instead of paying full price for them, you're paying more affordable prices but remind you, they are slightly smaller pieces than in other bakeries. Egg tarts for example or pineapple buns. They're very good and affordable. And bottom line, you don't want to eat so much sugar any ways.
Dietary restrictions: Less sugar used.

Fresh fruit cake was great, light, not too sweet, fruits were all fresh. One of the best Chinese fruit cakes in town. No issues with payment or service - they were happy to hold onto the cake until we were ready to pickup.

Basic asian bakery, quite fresh, and tastyShe double cha.rged us, and luckily, we checked the receipt. May be an honest mistake as we had 35 items, and I think that's typical at these bun shopsThey had an upright freezer of frozen steamed buns ( did not buy any).Got a strange photo bomber in the pics and had to post. I hope he doesn't mind.. I like your pose ?
