I saw on Instagram that this bakery has the best bbq pork buns in sf. I wasn't really convinced that it'd be my favorite, because I really prefer the steamed version over the baked. Since I ended up being in the neighborhood, I decided to try one. And it really *is* the best bbq pork bun I've ever had. The texture of the bread was delicious - chewy and soft. There was a lot of meat it in, and the flavor was just right. They are cash only, which is a bit of an inconvenience.

Absolutely delicious char siu bao (BBQ pork bun) and egg tarts! They're so affordable and delicious! The char siu bao is warm when I got it and it was less than $3. A lot of locals and Cantonese speaking uncles and aunties, so you know it's super legit. Pro tip: they're cash only.

Local Chinese bakery in Central Richmond area serving delicious homemade breads and pastries like bbq pork buns, egg tarts, curry pie, pineapple buns, and more! Tried some of their egg tarts and they were so fresh and flaky, the best I've ever had! I got a sponge cake to go and it was the softest, most pillow-y, fluffy cake. I'll be dreaming of it until I get one again! Service was incredibly friendly, and it seemed to be a popular spot with many locals inside watching TV, reading newspaper, and playing Xiangqi. Seriously, don't miss this local-owned bakery. Come early before they sell out of their popular items and bring cash!

Amazing Chinese Egg tart! (These are not Portuguese egg tarts that have the burnt sugar in the middle). Came at 4pm and they had a whole tray of egg tarts. They were VERY good! Buttery, flakey, moist eggie center, and not too sweet. Definitely not frozen like at some dim sum spots. This really hits and it's so nice not having to go into chinatown for egg tarts. Plenty of street parking. Cafe had a lot of elder Chinese people hanging out and playing games. So you know this spot is legit.

A small bakery tucked away in a row of restaurants, but it's not hard to find because the locals know what's up. This place had the best char siu bao I've ever had. The filling to bread ratio was spot on with more filling than bread. The bread itself was lightly crusted and pillowy on the inside. The filling was flavorful and not greasy! I also tried the cocktail bun, green onion bun, egg custard bun, and sponge cake. Everything was delicious! They have options for those who prefer savory treats and for sweet tooth's. The service itself was great. We had a short wait for fresh bao but it was worth it! I also enjoyed watching one gentleman diligently make the bao in the back.

My go-to for fresh chinese buns or egg tarts. I feel so bad that they had their 3rd break-in. I feel so bad that these mom and pop shops can't afford to fix broken windows. They have the freshest buns. Go early to get what you want. Cocktail buns. They sell out by the end of the day. Yummy!

We were so surprised to see that there is quite a bit of street parking outside! Since we got there right around opening time on a Sat, there wasn't a problem finding parking, it was free, and there wasn't a line for the bakery! The worker was super friendly and quick! I got the charsiu bao, pineapple bun with red bean, and the egg tart. The egg tart was fresh from the oven and still steaming when she handed it to me!! It was piping hot and so steamy and custardy! This is probably the absolute best egg tart I have ever had -- flaky crust, creamy and custardy, not too sweet! The charsiu bao is incredible and the reason I came all the way from Palo Alto! There were a few tables inside but the shop is kinda small and more like a pick up and go kind of place. I took it to Golden Gate Park which is pretty close by. I highly recommend coming here for your baos!

My favorite place for Baked BBQ Pork Buns. They have a good quality filling and have never disappointed me. The shop can get busy weekend mornings , but you can always count on fresh baked goods. Parking is not horrible, and the staff has always been pleasant. Always a pleasure coming here.
