We saw this place as we passed by and decided to check them out. They are new and replaced a bakery that was once there.The main focus here is the buns, but they are putting refrigerated food items as well. They had a selection of 12 buns (8 savory and 4 sweet). We got all of them to tried. My favorite out of the savory ones were actually the vegetarian ones as they were more memorable for me but all of them were pretty good. The buns not too thick, the filling is a mixed, some had a lot of fillings while others didn't. The sweet ones were also good. My favorite was definitely the salted egg custard one. Do wish there was more custard but it was yummy. My second favorite was the black sesame one and they definitely filled that one. If you like black sesame, this one is definitely a good one. It is $1.79/bun or 15.99/10 buns. So the price is not bad. Definitely not a sit down area but good for grab and go.

This newly opened place specializes in handmade steamed buns. They offer a wide variety of fillings from sweet taro to savory meat-filled and vegetarian options. It's a great option for a quick snack or meal.Overall, the buns are good - fresh and quite filling. They are running a promo and you can choose 10 buns for $16, which I think is a decent price. I enjoyed the tofu & pork bun the most, but they were all enjoyable. The dough itself is light and fluffy, but the dough to filling ratio is a bit off.

This little hole in the wall has a wall of buns in steamy warmers! Tons to choose from with both savory and sweet options. I got a few savory ones and a few sweet ones (noticeably smaller than the savory options). Buns are ok (similar to ones you buy frozen and then steam at home) and kinda pricey for the size of bun you get. Flavors and dough are solid.

Stopped by for a quick to-go meal. Everything is self serve, which I'm always unsure whether we are doing at this stage of covid. The savory buns tasted simple and straightforward. I needed some spicy fish sauce to jazz things up. The sesame bun was one I was excited for, but it was a disappointment. The filling was gritty rather than smooth and velvety and I wasn't a fan. I asked about drinks and was told they only have beer, which was a let down. As I was checking out, I saw a container with a fried flatbread looking thing and asked what it was. The server said it was a beef roll. I asked if I could order one. She just handed me that one and said it was made fresh. I don't doubt her, but I was wondering why it was just sitting on the counter by itself. The items in the fridge didn't have labels which made it really difficult to pick something from there. If I knew what they were, I could've bought one and given them more business. I asked the server and she just said "different types of pickles" without explaining further.

Not sure why ratings are so low. This place is a hole in the wall shop that sells some Chinese cold delicacies but mainly steamed buns and soy milk. The buns are huge (like the size of an adult fist) and cheap like $3-4. Are they the best buns I've had? No but they're definitely tasty and filling. eating 1-2 will pretty much fill an average adult up and it's super affordable. We love stopping by and picking some up for a quick weekend lunch

Service - 1.5/5. The cashier was not welcoming or helpful at all, but she is just doing her job = get money.Ambience - 1.5/5. No ambience. It's a small, non-welcoming shop.Food - 2.5/5. Don't get your expectations up. Nothing is bad, but nothing is special either. You can probably get the similar level of buns at any dim sum places. Out of all the 4 savory buns and 3 sweet buns, we liked the salted egg custard the best. That one is worth coming back for. Sesame one was our least favorite because it wasn't moist at all and was kinda bitter. Any buns with pork pretty much tasted exactly the same. So just pick one pork and one beef if you want a different flavor. Maho tofu one was not bad, but not great either. They also have cold side dishes (some sort of Chinese veggie dishes, chicken feet, beef) besides these buns, but we didn't try it.Overall, we'd come back if we're in the area and hungry for a quick bite, but otherwise no need to make your way to come here.

The only available dishes on Friday afternoon were bao zi- steamed buns. Pork fillings vary in size. I had a meaty one, my daughter had a small one. The mapo tofu flavor is my favorite, but really all the savory ones are great.Shelves were bare with the exception of warmers for the buns. There is a smattering of refrigerated boxed foods and soy milk in one shelf on our second visit.Boxes are now plastic, not styrofoam. At $2.19 a bun and $19.99 for 10, it's a good value. It works out to less than $5 for a quick bite.Parking is plentiful as the area is never crowded. Service is fine for takeout.

Outstanding bao. The dough is not too thick or overpowering. There are more than ten varieties to choose from, reasonably roofed at about $2/each. We picked egg with pepper and egg with noodle which were great. Salted egg was better than the sweet custard. Only draw back was their use of styrofoam containers.
