The decoration is outdated, surprisingly the foods are tasty. Highly recommended the bread, delicious with reasonable prices. Friendly service. Will come back again.

Best BBQ pork bun I've ever had! Do be prepared for service in English to be unavailable. Despite that, it is still very possible to order through a bit of broken communication.

Very friendly and nice staff. They barely speak English but understand enough to serve you. Their cookies: both almond and walnut are the best I’ve had in San Francisco. Even better than the other bakeries around. Also their walnut cream layered cake is really good and I highly recommend this one instead of the similar looking cake from other bakeries in the neighborhood.
Also tried the green onion twist bread but I didn’t care for it. It looks more delicious than what it tastes like.
Their pineapple buns are really good though. Also their cream horns with the cherry and egg tarts are very good.
Been trying the pound cake here, it’s so good. I highly recommended that one. It reminds me of a Mexican pound cake. It’s nice and moist, topped with walnuts.
Vegetarian options: Just use common sense 🤣

This eatery is very clean and the service was friendly and excellent, especially compared to most other Chinese eateries in general. We (as people from HK and Taiwan) enjoyed our noodles and will definitely come back again

This is an old school Chinese restaurant from few generations ago, my B.B.Q. bun and Pinapple both were nice, warm and tasty just coming out of the oven.
The counter lady was fine, she was polite for a Chinese restaurant ?. My only surprise was the price. It was $2 for each of the buns, I feel it was a bit pricey for the location.

I was raised around SF Chinatown and being an ABC with my white husband and mixed son, we were ignored for a while, since she kept skipping me since my son asked for the bathroom. Bathrooms are for customers which we were clearly trying to be. When I finally got her attention to order, she kept repeating my order in Chinese (yes I am ABC). I expect some rudeness from my people but this was off the charts. Not going back here even tho I love some of their baos.

I really enjoy the onion rolls and pork buns from here! I found out about them through a China Town tour I took when my relatives were visiting and have been back many times since! They are a cash only establishment but the prices are very cheap! I’ve spent about $5 per person for buns here.
Have been coming here for over 20 years. The food and service is good. Sometimes it can be a little crowded.
Vegetarian options: I am a vegetarian and I just request items to be meat free with no problems.

It was full of Chinese people, and we thought it had to be a good place for lunch. But beef noodlle soup smells like a fish,instead of beef there sinews and trimmings. The rest room was closed and disgusted. The waitress shouted, " Too small tip!!!" 5 times till we gave her 5 dollars. Never go to this place.

My favorite pork buns anywhere in the US. I have to stop here when I am in SF. I have only ever tried the baked goods, but everything I have tried (both sweet and savory) were good.

The restaurant was full at lunchtime on a Monday. There was a short wait before I was seated. I ordered a wonton soup $8 and a crispy tomato beef noodles $13.75. It took about five minutes for the soup to come out and another 15 minutes for the crispy noodles to arrive. The wontons were tasty with pieces of minced meat and shrimp. As for the crispy noodles, the chef messed it up. I asked for less sauce and it came out smothered. Most of the noodles were already soggy. There's no sense in ordering crispy noodles if the chef is going to do that. There's only one waitress for the entire restaurant. Service is slow but I don't blame her. Pro tip, the restroom key is tied to a tin can on the bakery counter.
