May 4, 2026Had the famous pineapple pork bun to go. It was very tasty with perfectly and semi sweetly seasoned filling with a pineapple covered crust top.
One of these is pretty filling and can almost be thought of as a pastry.

May 4, 2026I've tried the pork bun and the sugary egg yolk bun and they were very tasty for sure

May 2, 2026I really wanted to like it but unfortunately it’s not that good…and trust me, I know my Chinese food.

May 2, 2026The pineapple buns are a must and an institution. These are a must try. I would not recommend ordering the other menu items. I tried the full menu thinking it’d be as great as the pineapple pork buns and they are not.
