We swung by to grab some takeaway bao and dumplings, and the service was impressively quick, friendly, and patient.While waiting to cash out, my little niece spotted a furry pink bunny stuck to the metal shelf, and the staff kindly offered it to her, which was part of their Chinese decorations. She was super happy, and I greatly appreciated the kindness.The food was delicious, but what really stood out was the exceptional customer service—the active listening and thoughtfulness made our first visit memorable.We're already looking forward to returning to this tiny, causal take-out location with no seating. They're situated in a parking plaza with free parking, though it's not extensive. We didn't encounter any issues with parking during our visit.

Yoooo!!! The dumplings here were on point! I had to grab some before my flight took off and I wanted to grab the cold noodles but, didn't have time or room in my stomach for them. Definitely recommend this place! Next time I come I'm getting me a whole lot of cold noodles.

Love their fresh warm soft juicy bao zi.

I like their steamed buns and dumplings very much. I have eaten them more than 10 times. I recommend the cabbage, celery, pork buns and dumplings, and the pickled pepper pork buns. They are all very delicious, especially the dough is not too thick. My favorite steamed bun spot in the Bay Area!

Amazing take out place! Tasty dumplings- lots of different kinds. Pork and green onion bao were incredible! The service was fantastic, so helpful! We ordered a lot because we couldn't decide and he threw in 2 date soy milks for free! Really awesome chili oil too!

Seen this place all the time so l decided to stop by since it was one of the only places that open this early for food. It's roughly $14 for each of these tray. I walked in and seen about 6 ladies making these all by hand right in front so you know it's legit. Waited about 20 minutes but it was well worth the wait and price. The mini baos were my favorite, they were so soft and packed full of pork and mushrooms. You get about 12 for $14. It can be overwhelming when walking in as a lot of the menu is in another language but if you pay attention there's a small English description on the bottom. Give it a try you won't regret it!

First time here, I arrived at around 1030am Friday, I asked the cashier if they have any onion pork and mushroom pork baozi which is still hot/warm that I can eat right away, she gave me two boxes of warm baozi, I also bought a box of sticky rice siu mai but it's not that warm anymore so she heat it up with microwave for me. The baozi was as warm as body temperature, I could comfortably eat them. Fresh! I like the onion and pork baozi more because it has more flavor and the filling is way better than the mushroom pork baozi. The sticky rice is good, doesn't taste like artificial flavors, they definitely make them by themselves. The mushroom pork is lack of flavor and the filling easily fell apart. These baozi reminds me the ones that I used to eat when I was in middle school in China. This unique type of skin is called 油皮, it is very soft and fluffy, well mixed, thin but won't be broken easily, very good!

I was expected this is the place for you to get food quickly. Quick but so little filling with big and thick skin. Can you improve to add more filler for each wonton when you make it. Will come often if you can improve to add more fillings for your wonton.

Because of the raving reviews I decided to try it this morning. I got there at 11:00 AM so no issue with parking. Ordered the pork and green onion bao and xiumai. Taste was okay but the food was cold, very unpleasant. Don't be fooled by the xiumai. It hardly has any meat and is stuffed with glutinous rice. Very disappointed with this highly rated fast food joint. Not my taste. Won't be returning.

A takeout place for juicy, delicious northern China style buns (aka bao). They have a variety of fillings to choose from. Our favorite is the pork and leek buns, which is also one of their most popular dishes. When you walk in, you can see the kitchen staff making the buns behind the counter. These buns are definitely one of the best Chinese buns I have tasted in the Bay Area. The cashier was friendly and patient when answering my questions and making recommendations. We keep going back there for those yummy homey buns.Vegetarian options: The buns with tofu, mung bean noodles and vegetables are a good vegetarian option.

Incredible! Can see them making fresh in store or they have prepared food to go in freezer section. No dine in option. Must—- shiitake pork bao buns and the shrimp green bean dumplings were my favorite. We spent a total of about $65 for the items pictured. Not cheap but also freshly made.
