Best Bun & Dim Sum on this side of the Bay. Steamed BBQ Pork Buns vs. Baked BBQ Pork Buns... both are excellent. Couldn't decide which was better so bought both to try. The Dim Sum was very good too.

Very clean and organized for such a busy place. $1.89 per dumpling was steep for me as I was hoping to spend less than $10 for 6 har gow.
As for the dumplings, much less shrimp than I was expecting and pretty small. I wasn’t blown away. I will come here again but only when I’m not very hungry.

Take out only. Reasonable prices on entrees. Dim sum is a bit more expensive. Very friendly staff

Real good food to go. And they are nice

I was super excited to try their food because of the reviews and the line. When I got my food, it tasted extremely dry and bland. I got two different chicken, entrées, and chow mein. The portion for Chicken was very small even though I got a bigger size. Chicken was extremely dry. I also got dim sum, which was just OK and the most disappointing was the bbq bao. It was actually the main reason but very disappointing. Very plain, a lot of bread and not much filling. The filling itself lacked a lot of flavor.

Sesame balls and fried chicken are especially good

Everything is fresh. The prices are just right for the pastries. They serve hot as well. All of the food is for take out only. Parking is really tight, and it would be better to have someone drive while you go in.

This use to be a very good bakery but quality has gone down. I don't know if it cost or new owner. The baked BBQ bao was very good but it's off the last 3-4 times. I hope it gets better or I will try another bakery.

When here during the chinese festival and love the food....came to order for the new year event the person I was talking to didn't understand me at all...so after I got of work I when to see if they still have what I wanted....well by the time I arrive around 2pm most of the stuff was already sold....wasted my time calling at the opening and driving to the location....the staff English suck...so you will be wasting your time...advice go in advice and order in-person.

The fried chicken is so good, and amazing value for money. Everything else is good, but for me, the chicken is the star. Just remember that it's cash only.

Hehe

3 small boxes was $30, not worth the time spent in line or the quality of the food, go down 2 stores to napoleon and grab some sweet and savory pastries there instead, better tasting and is more worth the price
