I'm giving this place a five star for the egg tart! I've been a egg tart fan for years and would drive drive up and down to Eastern coast for good egg tarts. For the tart to be a quality equivalent to Asia, I'm looking for the right consistency of the custard and flaky crispy shell. Harpo on Grand Street is good but crust not flaky. This is definitely my go-to spot for cup of tea and egg tart. Birthday fruit cake and pastries are awesome and not too sweet at all. I would not fault the rude attitude or customer service which is pretty normal depending on the cultural background. I won't fault the food in here because of service.

This place is great for what it is. These people leaving single star reviews bc they’re comparing it on a “best” list. Come on. It’s fast. It’s good. It’s great value

Delicious and affordable buns and other things. I’ve never had an issue with service. It’s an in and out kind of place - as in, get your food and get out. I love their HK milk tea and the chicken sandwich bun (a steal at $5.25 for both). If you don’t want attitude don’t make a lot of substitutions and don’t ask questions! I am grateful places like this still exist!

The breakfast sandwiches Chinese style are bland however, the bread that it comes in is really good and it's very affordable $2 to $3 for a breakfast sandwich.

I like this place for cheap eat, not the best but good. However, don't expect service here. They can be ok if they're not busy, but can be rude when busy like want to get you out quick, next!

This morning I called on the phone to place a pick up order for a macaroni soup very politely since I would assume they’re busy. When I got to the store, one of the two lady in the front said she heated up egg noodles instead of macaroni and asked if I was okay with that. I said I would like to keep it as macaroni please, nicely. bc I was saving this to eat at a very later time and therefore the egg noodle would become soggy and unappetizing. She then flipped 360 bc she couldn’t convince me to be okay with the egg noodles. She goes on and say we were so busy and you called us, if you want macaroni then you have to wait with such a nasty disgusting tone. I am not here to clean up YOUR mistake. I have worked a more demanding customer service role and I was able to handle it, how about you step it up?? And how is it my fault for calling? If you don’t want people to call for take outs why have a phone number? & why did you pick up if you couldn’t handle it? I spoke directly to you on the phone and you confirmed my order, yet still messed up and it’s my fault? Please. The food is average, just reg cheap eats, I would consider getting food from the chern fun cart across the street if it was available over this with the nasty attitude. Please grow up and be kind.

The Roast Pork buns were gummy and slightly undercooked on the bottom. The Pork Floss *Cake* bun was great though.

Service is very bad. Asked for an iced coffee and cashier looked at me like I was crazy and asked me “do you want it?” And corrected my Mandarin. After my drink was finished, she snatched my money and slammed my change on the table. When I asked for a plastic bag, she gave me a paper bag. Never coming back again.

Only an above avg Chinese bakery in most respects but they’re exceptional for their taro buns. The taro buns used to be much more stuffed but they’re still excellent and no other place has them in the neighborhood afaik.Their egg tarts are solid and they have moon cake when it’s seasonalStill, this is probs my fav bakery in the area
