The lines are along very long. The food is very cheap. Can go along with the steam buns or bow buns. Sponge cake is very amazing. The mango sticky rice is superb. It’s best to get there early, but always fresh.

Popular Chinatown pastry spot for traditional baked goods and steamed dimsum to go. Not a big menu, but all the usual favorites are here. Prices are great and they taste excellent. Be patient as there's always a line of locals so you know you're getting the good stuff. Parking on street.

One of my favorite Chinese bakeries. Seems like all pastries are made onsite and super affordable

Only the most for the nice attention and understanding, thank you
Came here for the first time. Kind of hole in the wall, but lots of good choices. Dim sum is Hong Kong style, and good quality. The service is friendly and helpful, very old school taking the order on a pad of paper. Somehow part of the order wasn't communicated to the person packing my order, and arrived home to discover that one item was missing. I would go back sometime, but I'm not making a special trip. They had a lot of custard tarts, which were quite good. My family ordered 4. I should have gone with my gut and ordered 10.

This is like going back in time, the store is old and only one person serving the long line at noon. She said the other person is taking his or her lunch break, and it is hard to find people who want to work nowadays. She apologizes for being slow even she is serving non stop at noon time.
We discovered this after we had dim sum just across the street at Mama Lu’s. I guess they get their pastry from this place, not only identical, but also a bit cheaper. We packed some to go and it is cheaper this way.
They do have a lot of options ranging from traditional Chinese cakes to modern ones. I can see the kitchen just right behind the counter. They sell fast as the line stays long for a pretty long period of time. Not sure whether it is noon or only at noon it has a lot of people.
The store is old and not actually neat. I guess they are busy focused on their product and there is no dine in or tables for people to stay anyways.
I respect hard working people. She speaks Cantonese to other buyers. As for us, we can buy the same pastry without going to restaurants and bring home, I am ok with that.
The food is actually tasty and generous, or compared to what you get, it is considered cheap. Some from Irvine and some from other parts of the city get to together in line to purchase their product. I guess they do have something to attract buyers. My first time experience and it was not a bad one.
One of the originals and STILL yummy. I come by here every time I go near L A. Chinatown. They have a great selection (special chicken bao is my go-to) and their prices aren't stupid like many other dim sum/Chinese bakeries.

I recently tried the custard tart which was good! Buttery flaky and good. And I mainly go for their sesame balls. I’m still on a mission to find the best sesame balls which is one of the desserts I loved to get growing up. They need to up their game on up keeping the spot tho. Mom and pop shops are awesome but they need to up the cleaning and need of more friendly service.
Parking: Parking is by parking spots or coin/card stalls. Not the greatest but if your going quickly or to browse China town and Olivera street not bad
