Every time I bring friends to Pike Place, I ALWAYS take them here to get a Baked BBQ Pork Bun. I always come here when I'm in the area, its that good. It is so filling and delicious. Highly recommend.

The baked bun was too sweet for my liking, not what I expected

While at the market, we decided to pick up a snack here. We tried the bbq pork and curry beef hombow and they were really good. Both meats paired perfectly with the breading. This is a place to pick up the food and go. There is no place to sit down and enjoy it. Despite that, I would definitely recommend it.

$4.50 after tax for a green tea sesame ball. Which the lady made hot in a microwave. It had no green tea taste, and oddly also no sesame taste. It was also extremely oily. It was chewy tho, so all it tasted like was mochi?? Which was not what i paid for.

The buns are enormous! We shared chicken curry, pork, and beef buns. Warm and tasty on a drizzly afternoon.

Apparently, the staff are unfamiliar with Ham-and-mayonnaise bao which were among the favorites. Folks here would benefit from retraining and improvement!!.........

Oh my goodness…the BBQ Pork Hombow and the Curry Beef Puff were absolutely amazing. Makes me want to fly back to Seattle to get some more.
We were walking around Pike Place Market and saw a couple absolutely devouring a hom bow. Naturally, we had to ask where they got it and that’s how we found ourselves in line at Mee Sum Pastry. The line was long, which is always a good sign!
When we finally got up front, I was a little bummed to find out their veggie hom bow wasn’t ready yet. My boyfriend ordered the pork hom bow, and I went with the sweet red bean cake instead. He really enjoyed the pork, soft, flavorful, and packed with juicy filling. My red bean cake was a hit too, slightly sweet, and perfect for a quick bite while exploring the market.
They do accept cards, but it doesn’t seem like they have Apple Pay. I had to physically hand my credit card over. Not a big deal, just something to note if you’re used to tapping to pay.
This place is a must-visit when you’re at Pike Place. The pastries are great for grab-and-go while wandering through the market, and just watching the cooks behind the counter makes the wait totally worth it. I’ll definitely be back next time to try the veggie hom bow!

I drool when I think of their curry hombows. The pork bbq ones are too slimy inside. The chive dumplings blew my mind and everything is perfect expect that they are rather pricy and don’t accept credit cards under $10. Matcha sesame ball is good only for the first bite, would be better with red bean filling inside.

Great spot at Pike's for Chinese street food. The bao is fluffy and the meat is savory and delicious. They have different options for baked, steamed, sweet. Also tried the shu mai which was so good!

Price not worth it, bbq pork bun got too strong a wine flavor. We had a big order and they ended forgetting a few of our stuff still charged us a ton.
Best to just order 1 or 2 to try, rest will add up really quickly and most of the items there are garbage besides the pork buns.

I love the Humbow at Mee Sum Pastry. There isn't any seating so you have to find somewhere to eat of you want to have a seat.
