I tried this Cantonese fast food spot many times, and while the prices are quite reasonable, I can’t recommend it for the food quality. If you’re visiting, you’re better off sticking to the desserts rather than the main dishes.

The food hygiene is seriously lacking. My char siu chicken still had feathers, which was really off-putting. The duck had noticeable glands, giving it a strong, unpleasant odor that was borderline nauseating. It’s clear that the ingredients are not properly cleaned or prepared with care.

For a place that serves such affordable meals, I wasn’t expecting fine dining, but basic cleanliness is non-negotiable. Unfortunately, I won’t be coming back for anything other than the desserts.

Ordered half a pound of duck and they gave me all bones and included the head. Why? Just to add more weight?

Listen up... this place makes legit Chinese BBQ roast duck —THE best way to prepare duck, which, by the way, is the tippy top of the poultry totem pole. It is incredibly juicy, tender, and flavorful. It is bliss in the form of food.

For the past two years, I've been getting it for Thanksgiving in place of turkey, which, by the way, is the dirt bottom of the poultry totem pole. Best decision ever. I'm going to be doing this for the rest of my life, and you should too —or just get it anytime because it's iNSaNe.

Also, the staff here is very kind, and they offer a tasty selection of bao and Asian pastries. For real though —get the duck. 1000% a gem.

Fresh and authentic buns. HK style milk tea is not bad at all.

I come here weekly to pick up Daan Tat (egg tart) or their Char Siu (BBQ pork) rice plate and it’s delicious every time! I love this spot, a true Malden staple.

Just ordered a cake for a birthday. It was delicious! Plan to go back and try some of the food items. Few tables and chairs to sit and eat there. More geared to take out.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, no steps. On street parking.

By far the best Chinese style mixed fruit cream cake in the area! I have been in search of a bakery for cream cake after my favorite one on Chinatown closed. I have tried looking in Chinatown and west of Boston with no success in duplicating that cake. This place does the job. Chiffon cake is light and moist, fresh whipped cream is lightly sweetened, and there is plenty of ripe strawberries, peaches, and melon. The layers stay together nicely, and no one element us overwhelming. SO GOOD! It took me 35 minutes one way to get to the bakery by cat, but I will happily drive there again when I need another cream cake.

I ordered the cake over the phone, and the process was fast and easy. Pick up was also easy (10am on Saturday). I found a metered parking spot right in front of the bakery! I could never get that in Chinatown.

They also have fresh pastries, roll cakes, and other items, as well as bags of steamed bao in the fridge case. I got custard buns, egg tarts, pineapple buns, sesame balls, and BBQ pork buns. All were delicious, but I was so happy with the sesame balls. The sesame balls were puffy, round balls of goodness. They held their ball shape (no deflating) and were the perfect thickness of dough. So good!
