Tl;Dr: if you like a LOT of filling this is your place. Drop by if you're on the SBS-70 bus.
STORE: located just across the street from the airport link bus stop, so definitely worth a visit. Mostly self-service; it has your usual tongs and tray. The shelves roll out; something that I wasn't used to but just take it slow and things will stay put. I came at 9:30 am and everything was abundantly well stocked and well presented. It's like the opposite of another popular bakery chain on the West Coast. They were relatively nice (at least, by New York standards).
BREAD REVIEWS:
TARO MOCHI: seemed to have an Ube mochi exterior with coconut shavings. Inside was a VERY GENEROUS amount of taro paste. The flavor of the mochi part seemed to overpower over the taro flavor inside. 3/5
EGG TART: seemed to be rough puff pastry, making it technically a Portuguese style, but curiously was not blind baked so did not have the typical crisp texture. On the bright side, it was filled with a massive amount of custard. The custard was a little sweet for my tastes but some people would definitely like it. 3/5
CORN BUN: filled with a savory corn and mayo filling. The mayo flavor absolutely overpowered everything. The bread was good though. 2/5
LEMON PUFF: I think this is like a bolo bun. excellent bread texture. The filling is similar to a lemon donut. It's liquid, which is probably challenging to do but it was well executed. 4/5
MATCHA SPONGE CAKE: this was PERFECT. Not too sweet; beautiful fluffy chiffon sponge with just the right amount of chew. If you like sponge cake this is a must. 5/5
COCONUT TART: this was also PERFECT. Like a coconut macaroon, but more moist. Great texture and flavor. If you like coconut this is a must. 5/5

The lady was so rude to us and shows attitude for no reason.

One person working and ten people on line for their order.. ridiculous.

I bought a strawberry cake and how bad it seems that it was 3 days old, it's disastrous that they sell cakes that are several days old 🤦♂️

"I always come here to get coffee, bubble tea, sandwiches, and sometimes cake. Everything is great! The only issue is that sometimes some staff don’t speak English, which makes it hard to explain what I want."
??? The lady was so rude to us and she was even worse towards the guy before us. The geek we got was kind of dry as well. I had a similar experience going the last time. I don't know why I even went there again. But yeah this is a reminder for me to never go there. Thank you.

I didn't even realize there's a Chinese bakery in this area, I've been going all the way to Chinatown all this time.
Workers here are friendly, and the bakery items are delicious. I come here every week.

They do not accept credit card, nor do they provide receipts. there have been instances of missing items, which feels like a scam.

Authentic Chinese bread, what would we do without our Chinese brothers.
Quality, price, what more could we ask for.

I like this bakery, but the baked goods are loaded with a high amount of salt. Some items are less salty. Local bakeries use less salt.
