About TP Bánh Bao 5

TP Bánh Bao 5 is a popular spot for delicious buns. Their fried buns, made to order, are a must-try. The Original and Barbecue Pork FRIED buns are favorites among customers, with many enjoying them for their crispy exterior and sweet, fresh interior. The steamed buns, such as the one filled with pork, sausage, and quail egg, are also highly recommended for their soft texture and good flavor. Customers often praise the buns for being surprisingly fresh, with the pork, sausage, and quail egg filling being a favorite. The BBQ Pork bun has a different texture from Chinese dim sum buns but remains flavorful, with a slightly sweet exterior balancing the savory filling. The chicken and asked egg buns are also well-liked. The custard bun, however, received mixed reviews, as some found the filling more firm and mashed sweet potato-like, but still enjoyed the overall balance of salty and sweet. Prices remain very reasonable, with a few buns costing less than $10. The friendly cashier cares about the business and customers. While there’s no seating inside, the grab-and-go service makes it a convenient option for a quick snack. Located in a big plaza in Vietnam Town, the small takeout-only shop offers a satisfying variety of banh bao that keep customers coming back for their soft, fluffy outside and flavorful inside.
