Golden Steamer is a popular bakery located in Chinatown, known for its affordable and tasty buns. Customers recommend trying the Pork Bun (Char Siu Bao), which is sweet and offers a unique experience. The fried barbeque pork bun is also a favorite, providing a quick and delicious snack when reheated properly in the microwave. The Egg Tart is described as a delightful dessert with a texture similar to crème brûlée and a distinct eggy flavor.
While the custard buns are available, some customers note that they have too much sugar, which can be overwhelming. The buns are fluffy and have a good filling-to-bun ratio, making them enjoyable overall. The new location on Grand Street is clean, and the staff are friendly and welcoming. However, there is no seating, as it is mainly a buy-and-go place. There have been concerns about an aggressive panhandler at the entrance, which could deter some customers. Despite this, Golden Steamer remains a highly recommendable spot for those looking for tasty and affordable treats in New York.
