Serious EatsSeptember 24, 2013The savory filled bun-donut is a hybrid treat that only people who really love real Chinese food will appreciate.
This is a place that you have to be aggressive if you want to order. Just step forward and don't mind anyone who is ahead of you, and shout out what you want!- Get a "dai bao" (big bun) here. It has Chinese sausage, egg and mushroom in it. Best I've found in ctown so far.
Kathleen ChiuApril 18, 2021It's not just a bakery, they do dimsum also! Also they've got legit steamed bao I'm addition to baked ones
Es TeeJune 13, 2016Gruff service and oversteamed dim sum offerings in the back - just the way it should be 💓
RobespierreDecember 18, 2012I come here for the shrimp rice rolls. So fresh in the morning. Gotta know what you want and point since the staff doesn't know english.
Grace KwanAugust 15, 2016Sells my favorite "da bao," a Cantonese-style steamed bun with pork, salted duck yolk, chinese sausage, etc. inside.- They actually serve Columbian coffee! that and their yeen yeurng (coffee+milk tea) is my fave :-)
Wayne SurberJune 6, 2014Pineapple bun for the win. There is 0.0 pineapple. Crunchy top! Pineapple texture.
Vince WongNovember 23, 2013Move aside, Noodletown and Big Wong. Lucky King has the best preserved egg and salted pork congee in town.- Amy 🍦March 17, 2013Chinese-only menu at the back with cheap congee, rice rolls, rice, and other snacks.
- The pineapple bun, wheat maan tou, and milk tea is to die for.
Sparerib congee. So good. $1.75. Be assertive or you'll be ignored.
Hands down, the best Chinese bakery in town. The ladies behind the counter are so sweet!
Not very clean, but that's not why I'm here. Selection of dim sum and steamed buns available.
- Donna TruongAugust 23, 2011Chinese coffee is not meant to be great. They're cheap and brewed badly. As such, this is decent coffee they serve here. However, the ladies are rude and bad at service
- Worst coffee for blocks and blocks, but the Tina Turner, Celine Dion, Willie Nelson, Buffy shrine is why I keep coming back.
