This place is going down hill. Banh bao Cade was terribled. There was no tasting of eggs, just powder mixed with favor food and sugar. It tasted worse than the frozen one sale in the market. How can they charged $18 for four? It is not worth more than $5.

I ate here 5 years ago, almost very week when I was a student, the bun was very good from texture of the bun to the taste of pork filling inside back to those days. I then moved to LA so I did not come back the area much, until today my family from Vietnam came to visit us in L.A. They wanted some Banh Bao for breakfast, I came and bought 1 box ( pork) at $14.00. Cashier was very pleasant and nice, lovely. Got home and ate 2 buns as attached picture. Such a disappointment, my family asked me what kind of bun they were!? I tried and omg the dough was sticky and wet, seem it was not cooked well or something I am not sure but it like you are chewing a starch in your mouth. The pork filling is still ok. We decided to eat the filling only. My wonder how come a very good authentic Banh Bao like TP can go down to the hill with such terrible quality buns like that. Not mention bun color and shape is not banh bao but like an ugly broken mochi ball with meat inside. Disappointed and frustrated at same time.

We've been supporting this place since it opened, but since last weekend, I'm not going back. The pork bun was so disgusting. We bought 2 boxes and had to throw it away. We didn't know if what we were eating was actual pork. The meat was so grounded that it melted in your mouth. On top of the dramatic increase in price, they probably used the worst meat and made it so u can't see it. The city might have to do some taste test on this place. Sorry, no longer a customer!

Heard few people talked about the new Vietnamese's Steamed Bun/Banh Bao, at Banh Bao T.P. I had to try it and went there to get some. The service was pleasant and crowded. The pricing is little high for the small version compared to the original Steamed Bun. The taste was ok and not great. I still preferred for the original from few places I knew and the one my Dad made is lot better than the new version Banh Bao. I guess this is a trend, but it is not for me. I like to air fryer it after the steamed Bun, taste more crunchy and better.
Fried steamed bun is really good. Nice texture and filled with pork. Bomb diggity.

I was wondering the difference in the steamed buns between 1 and 2 and the older guy literally screamed at me, stating one is regular egg and other is quail egg. Steamed buns are excellent but go here if you want to be scolded like a little child. I mean since when do paying customers deserve to get yelled at for asking a simple question(it was actually very embarrassing), not everyone has good eyesight to read their small prints. I will be taking my business somewhere else that actually treats customers with some decency.
