Super delicious ? pineapple buns ??

Pork buns were amazing. As were the pineapple buns. Hot and fresh. No sign outside store. Boyfriend thought it was a pet store. Well, if I could raise tasty treats like this that multiply, sign me up.

CASH ONLY. I called 10 minutes advance just to make sure it's already prepared when I walk in. Came around 8am. No line. Got it to go. All the tables were takin cause ALL THE ASIAN OGS we're awake early just choppin it up haha. That was the high light of my morning and that's the reason why I gave this place 4 stars instead of 3. The won ton soup was decent. The broth was ok. Has pepper and a hint of ginger, I believe. I love chicken ginger flavor broth but this soup is made different. They gave me like 12-14 pieces of won tons for the price of about $9-10. Pretty good deal! Meat was a little salty tho. I've had better broth elsewhere but they give a generous amount of won tons and the broth is decent, I will be coming back. Also, I believe their won tons are home made cause the texture and size is a lot bigger than other restaurants in the area. I'm glad there's a place like this where the ambiance of OG's kicken it cause this is a happy place for them. :) eats

The fresh out of the oven pineapple buns are the best I've had. We lived around the corner and would get them every morning when the store opens at 7am. I'm salivating just thinking about it. So good that you can peel the top off like a cookie.

3.5 stars. The bakery/restaurant has no signage so I wouldn't have found the place if it wasn't for Yelp. You can't tell it's a restaurant from outside. It's definitely a mom and pop store. There's not a huge selection of buns but the available ones were pretty good. The sponge cake had a slight citrus flavor and was moist and soft. There was an eggshell in it though. The pineapple bbq pork buns were tasty and one of the better ones I've had. We also ordered from the kitchen menu. We had the beef stew wonton noodle soup and this was good. And we had the tomato beef pan fried noodles. This wasn't great as the sauce tasted artificial. There are some tables inside if you want to dine in.

It's far from fancy, but the woman working at the counter was pleasant. Plus parking was easy during this Friday Afternoon which is another plus. First they do a good Bun, and the filling that was inside was one of the better quality BBQ pork mixtures that I have experienced. I'll take quality over questionable quantity any day so it's easy to recommend the buns. My order also include Boneless Dark Fried Chicken over Fried Rice. The Chicken was perfectly cooked and ever so enjoyable, as for the Fried Rice it had a very slight kick. Overall the container provided a generous portion that felt somewhat indulgent. Given the fair pricing, and quality output of the Kitchen, Yes I'd Come Back.

Best pork buns - we drive all the way from east bay and always pick up a few dozen to freeze.

When I was 6,7, 8 years old, this was my "reward" when I behaved. My papa and I would go everyday. I'm so so so happy they are still in business and it is such a treat to come back and visit. Best Chinese bakery in my opinion, hands down!

They have the best bbq pork bun and cocktail buns! But beware, come early as they sell out a lot!
