I was happy to see a variety of sweet and savory buns. The curry beef bun was quite good. The moon cakes were okay, i have had better at other locations as these ones were rather dry and crumbly as opposed to soft and chewy

I would rate this 5 stars if it wasn’t for the “milk bread” which was just regular white bread. We were so excited to get the bread (DoorDash) that we saw in Korea but it was not even close. It’s just white bread.

I’m obsessed with this place. I’ve been here easily twice a month for the past few months, and have always been thoroughly happy with their mooncakes, cookies, buns, bread, everything I’ve tried. I’ll have to try a drink next time!

A very cute small bakery. They had a ton of sweet and savory options of various buns. They also had cute little cakes and desserts. Very reasonably priced and delicious. Friendly as well!

The woman got very defensive when I asked if the puffs might become soggy because of the moist fillings inside which I think is a fair question. It was completely unnecessary.

The outside was unassuming but please take a chance and walk in! This place had a wide variety of baked goods including Baos and Milk Tea which was my goal for visiting!

The barbecue pork bun is prob the best in Chinatown, or at least one of the two best. Good iced coffee too. And relatively cheap for Boston...BBQ pork bun and an iced coffee is comparable to my what you'd spend at Dunks for a bagel or muffin and an iced coffee.

Mixed review. The mango matcha cake slice was $9.50 and kind of dry. The bun with the almond slices on it was good. We used to go to Eldos but it has been closed for some years so disappointing. We won't be going back. There are other bakeries in the area that are good and less expensive.

I worked with Gloria to get a cake made with a very short turnaround time needed and she was amazing! The service was top notch and the cake was beautiful, everything I could have asked for and more. She was very quick to respond, ran me through every option, and had the cake done within 48 hours ?

I bought a mango cake around 12 noon. When I got home and ate it at 8 pm, the cake inside was all wet... It should be that the fruit on top was watery and flowed down. Even the cardboard was wet. Only the cake embryo in the middle layer was not wet. .Because the cake is wet and very unpalatable. The overall feeling is that the ingredients are very filling...but why is the cake in the middle wet...can't eat it...36 dollars is gone...very disappointed
