IBUN Bakery

This is my favorite bakery ever! Every time I'm in Bellaire, I make sure to go here. When you arrive to the mall, you'll have to go nearby the escalators on the first floor to reach IBUN. There's some seating if you'd like to eat there. The differences between vegetarian and vegan dishes are the V. Everything here is vegetarian, and everything marked with V is vegan.I always get my birthday parties catered by IBUN because their savory and sweet food is wonderful! It's loved by my vegetarian, vegan, and non-veggie family and friends alike.Be sure to take a look at the bakery stand, shelves on the left, the two refrigerators adjacent to the register, and the freezer on the right past the seating! They have a drink menu too.Their prices are so wonderful, and I've been a customer here for years. It's such a wonderful family owned bakery. The customer service is always kind!

We stopped by here today on a whim; after eating at a place nearby, we took a short walk inside the old Dynasty Plaza mall, since my husband has childhood memories of the dojo that used to be there. IBUN is in the small part of the mall space that still has stores, and it's small but inviting - a chalk sign outside says everything is Vegetarian or Vegan.We only picked up a baked vegan pork bun this time - to split, since my husband's watching his carb intake - but not only was the quality great, it was an absolute steal at just $1.50. The bread is incredibly soft and light, and vegetarian "pork" filling is extremely convincing in both taste and texture - it's tender and not too chewy, and just a little oily, like real pork would be. And they don't skimp on it, either - the filling goes all the way to the edge.Next time we're in the area we'll definitely come back and try more things, but if first impressions are important, IBUN left an excellent one. We'll be sure to keep this in mind, especially if our family members with allergies to eggs and milk are in town.

I tasted steam buns from this place that my cousin gave to me. In the Philippines we call it siopao. It was absolutely delicious! I was blown away when she told me that it was vegan! I couldn't believe it. I microwaved a bun for 30 seconds and the bread was nice and fluffy and the center was a nice umami flavor bomb in my mouth! I wish I lived closer to this bakery. I would be there every week!

Great place for a quick lunch! Lots of options under the lunch box menu including a vegan duck fried rice. A ton of vegan baked goods to choose from as well as some tasty fruit teas to go with it. The ambiance is nothing to write home about. It's a small little place inside of a mini mall. But it's well worth a trip to Chinatown for all the vegetarian folks out there.

Recommend? Yes!!!This place had the Vietnamese pastry I've been missing a lot. It's a bun that has a hint of sweetness, "pork" floss on top, and the creamy green onion oil (?) It truly was a treat as a vegan.I also got the sweet cream pastry. I found the cream was very sweet and the pastry a bit on the dry side for this particular one.

The food here is really good and everything that's vegan is labelled with a "v" on the tag. Every item I've tried has been delicious! I really enjoyed the turtle mochi with the red bean filling and the bbq "pork" buns. So good! It's a blessing and a curse it's far from me because I'd eat there everyday whivh would probably be too much.

Not sure what the high rating is about. It's a grocery/bakery store inside an outdated mall. Not enough traffic and makes you wonder how fresh is everything. It's all vegan choices so I guess that may be appealing but there's nothing special about the breads. I'd not come back.

I went on a hunt for vegan desserts near me and iBun popped up. I noticed all the 5 star reviews and decided to give it a chance. Generally, I am a fan of Asian bakeries (red bean anything); however, I was concerned that I would not be able to decipher any of the offerings there because it is located in China Town and I noticed in the pictures much of the wording is in Chinese/Mandarin.Good news though, most of the items have been translated into English. If not, the wonderful staff will take their time to explain to you what it is. I was informed that everything with a "V" on it is actually vegan, woo-hoo!I bought the taro mochi, blueberry jam pastry, and vegan strawberry cake. All of which are marked as vegan.Taro mochi - this was made on the spot for me. It was pretty good. I preferred the filling the most. However, I do not think the mochi had enough time to rest and chill since it was made to order. BVegan strawberry cake - it was frozen when I bought it. The staff recommended I let it thaw for an hour, but that some guests like it frozen because it tastes like ice cream. I tried to consume it frozen but it was inedible. The strawberries were just too hard. After thawing an hour, it was still unpleasant to eat. After several hours, it was now edible. I enjoyed the cream filling, but wished the strawberries were cut smaller. They were just halved. The cake itself is like a shortbread. It really needed more filling or some type of sauce. C+Blueberry jam pastry - I was informed that the blueberry jam is made in-house and this is a popular item. I understand why this item is popular. By far the best item I had that day. It was fluffy and just the right amount of sweetness. I would definitely buy this again. AThe sweet staff also explained to me their lunch boxes and that it is best to call in and order in advance because they are made to order and take about 20 minutes to prepare.The parking lot gets full, so plan accordingly but a great place to get vegan desserts and savory bites as well.

I love the vibe and service over there!! The bread is very cheap and really affordable! Everything is vegan or vegetarian I believe so it's really vegan vegetarian Come and enjoy Cheers

Located in the Dynasty Plaza, I Bun Bakery specializes in vegan and vegetarian baked goods and food. They had fresh baked goods in the middle table, dried and packaged goods along the walls, and cooked food on the shelves. This place is also pretty popular for their Asian cakes and had samples at the front counter to view. Prices are decent and there were quite a few options to choose from.
