The Golden Chariot Bakery & Restaurant offers a delightful array of freshly baked treats, with customers raving about the exceptional pork buns and pineapple buns. The pineapple buns, in particular, are described as "super crispy and thick," always freshly made. The restaurant also serves a decent wonton soup, with a broth that has a hint of ginger and pepper, and a generous portion of homemade wontons. It is a small, no-frills bakery that feels like a cozy mom-and-pop spot. The plain dinner rolls are soft and pillowy when heated, and the base milk bread has the perfect density. Customers enjoy a variety of buns, including chicken buns and spam buns, which are considered some of the best in SF and the peninsula. Despite being cash-only and lacking visible signage, the place remains popular among the local Asian community and high school students alike, creating a lively and authentic atmosphere. Prices are reasonable, making it a great choice for breakfast or lunch. The service is always friendly, and the place is clean and cheerful overall.
