I've never given a bad review. The first time there, the banh bao was such a disappointment. I ordered 5 but they talked me into ordering a whole box. First off, all the banh were cold and looks like it's been in the refrigerator for a few days. It doesn't even look Appetizing. I wouldn't eat this even if it was free.

Some of the best bánh bao in San Diego. I always come here and end up with 2-3 boxes to bring home to my family. I've been going here for about 2 years now and I've had nearly every filling. My favorite are typically their bánh bao thập cẩm which is savory, and then I always pair it with their cadế which is a sweet egg custard. You can get individual ones or order a box which has 9 banh báo. Their freshly deep fried bánh bao are also BOMB. Full of flavor and super crispy. I also go all out sometimes and get some chè in their fridge. My favorites they've made have been chè chuối (banana) and chè bắp (corn).

Stumbled across this place when we were getting a pizza next door while we were on our way to the beach. It was a FABULOUS find!! We LOVE it here. The bao is delicious and Travis and Mi are the sweetest ladies you will ever meet. We drive 65 miles just to come here.

Got a box of the bbq pork buns to go! My family goes to the one in Garden Grove and I’m so happy there’s one here in San Diego! These are my favorite go to especially when I want a mid day snack.Definitely coming back!

I did not recommend this place. I will not return. I specifically drove here from La Jolla based on recommendations. I expected to enjoy an actual steamed bun. I ordered number three and number nine. It's very obvious that it was microwaved, the inside was still cold and the outside is dry. Which is typical when you microwave steam buns. actual steam buns are sticky and very hot and take a while to eat. This was garbage. Horrible experience. I think the people that support here are probably just locals for the heck of it.

A lot of food for a pretty good price.

We actually found this place on accident. We went to the pizza place right next door. We decided to try them because we saw a few people walk out with them and they looked really good. They are pretty amazing. The older lady that works the front is as sweet as can be. They are good enough that it was worth it to me to make a 1hr round trip drive to get them. I don’t think you’d regret going here.

We catered 180 eggrolls here. They had them ready and packaged on time. The eggrolls are not super amazing and on the smaller size, but we got what we needed and for an order this big, that's what matters. Thank you!

Great spot, quick food- came here starving to the point of almost passing out (post hike) the lady running the front was so sweet and quick! I ordered the sweet custard and bbq buns. SO FLUFFY SO TASTY, highly recommend adding to your list of go-to's because its now one of mine!Also side note: EGG ROLLS WERE FLAKY AND PERFECTLY SEASONED so if you dont come for the buns come for the egg rolls
