    Regular size BBQ pork bao/char siu bao
    Monica G.

    The first time I ate these baos was actually at an eating contest. lol My first impression was that the bread was so fluffy and soft! Since I was eating so fast, I couldn't savor the flavors, so I HAD to get some more! After eating a handful of different baos, I wasn't impressed. They're pretty good and have cute designs, but they didn't "wow" me. Combination meat bao (ground pork, quail egg, salted egg, and sausage) - This was pretty decent, but I wish the bao was a little bit bigger for the price. I also wanted more meat, so I wish the patty inside was bigger in general. I think for the price/taste, you would be better off just ordering a pork bun and save yourself some money. Char sui bao - This was very good! The flavor was great. Taro cream/mung bean coconut/cream egg custard - I tried all three sweet baos and thought they were okay. The cream filling wasn't a lot. I wanted it to be oozing out, like a jelly filled donut. I felt like the ratio of filling to bread was way off, so you can barely taste the filling. Vietnamese flavors are usually more subtle and less sweet compared to American flavors, so I think if they had more filling, then you can actually taste it. Overall, I think you can pass on the sweet baos because you won't miss out on much. The savory baos are definitely better and worth a try. I do think that there is more bread compared to the inside content. So, if that is rectified, then it would justify the price a bit more.

    I was making my rounds around the area one weekend and did a visit toward the Hong Kong City Mall 4 plaza in Chinatown. I have my usual places I like to stop in but one place that I visited a very long time ago but have notice was Bakery Ngoc Lan. I was reminded of the business thanks to social media. Walking in, it was around the opening hours so it was really subtle no one stopping in yet. The place is a rather cozy. This can be a nice quick bite place with a few seats to eat. The menu is unique and has some interesting choices of buns from savory to sweet. I chose 4 for a bit of variety for the visit: 2 taro custard, 1 salted egg and 1 cheese chaisu to go. The taro custard is a nice balance of sweetness, not too sweet and just enough. Filling is just the right amount. That was a nice way to test out one for what to expect with the others. The salted egg is a good flavor if it something familiar to your food experience. A very different taste profile oppose to it being sweet and this would be a quick bite bao and not a dessert. Lastly was the cheese chaisu. To me this was a very nostalgic flavor of bao growing up for me, if you had it at your dim sum gatherings but this leveled it up with cheese to give it more umami. I know it would be good and who can pass up on a cute piggy design too? Haha I do like one thing that there are a difference of colors and designs that are both colorful and unique. Every bao is never the same. Plus you can have them heated up or as is ready to eat. Overall my visit to Bakery Ngoc Lan was very good. A very nice variety and speciality in baos so it will never be just something simple. One thing I did not get to try was the other offerings of Vietnamese snacks and drinks. There a very nice claw machine as well if you would like to try your luck for a plushy. It is located on bit of a busier side of HK4, on the Ocean Palace side. I would give it a try and be open to trying the different flavors. Either that or be a fan of the different designs too. Whichever is your reason, you won't be disappointed. They also take Zelle as a form of payment if that is something you like to explore.

    Small lil bakery tucked into a corner of a shipping plaza. So many cute lil decorated buns. So.e had sausage and some had no filling, I opted for the mung bean filling which was only lightly sweetened. The bao was moist and soft and the filling just added to it. I got a cute lil hello kitty bun. Staff was helpful and nice. Huge parking lot out front. Would definitely return and try other bao buns.

    I went here with my friends on a Sunday about an hour before they closed. Overall, it was a pretty great experience. The person taking our orders was super friendly and helped us pick some buns we would like. One of our group also forgot her purse & they made sure we remember it (which was super nice)! The food came out pretty quick ~5 min and was super hot. We got an assortment of buns. My favorite was the bbq pork and cheese bun, but they were all pretty delicious. The ube cream & hedgehog bun tasted pretty similar and were both good too. The normal bbq pork one was delicious too!! They were all so cute :) The restaurant was pretty nice inside. It wa a nicely decorated and they made good use of the space. One thing to note is they don't have bathrooms. Overall, this is a great stop for a quick savory or sweet snack. I'd 100% go back here

    Pretty laid back spot serving cute buns. I was a little skeptical and set low expectations at first since we found this place through social media. I'm always weary of the places serving "cute food" thinking they might not be good. The shop is in the corner of the strip in HK mall. Parking might be challenging during peak times, but we were lucky to find a spot. The guy behind the counter was nice and gave us some suggestions. It's really hard to miss the cute buns that they have on display. It's almost kinda weird eating them lol. We got the charsiu, charsiu with cheese, and ube with custard filling. All of them were pretty good. The custard filling was not what I expected - it's a little more light which I actually enjoyed. Additional positive was the employee warned us about a 3% credit card charge - they take Venmo though if you don't have cash!

    On a recent trip to Houston, my mom found out about this place and was on an absolute mission to find these super cute baos! We finally found this place after wandering around and I'm happy to report this was a positive experience. We ordered a variety of bao. I love the creativity of their flavors - they're not unique but to be able to get different types of bao is not something we have in Atlanta. I ordered their special, the BBQ pork with cheese, for myself. This was delicious! My mother ordered a variety of bao but unfortunately I did not get a chance to sample any other ones except my own. I also do not remember how much we paid for all the baos, so I can't relate to all the reviewers saying these were overpriced, however, since I don't have a comparison price in mind, no price is too high, amirite? Extra stars for service - I'm guessing the owner - a super nice gentleman, engaged us in conversation, gave us thorough reviews and recommendations of Houston must-eats, and was very accommodating. I noted Yelp hours said they are closed but he decided to open his shop for the lunar new year. I think these are just really great people delivery an awesome product. Support this small business!

    Hello kitty buns!!!

    I came here this morning for a quick breakfast while doing some shopping in the area. I arrived as soon as they opened and they welcomed me in and had my food ready within 5 minutes. They do have a small seating area inside as well as seating outside on the sidewalk. Prices are affordable at I believe around $3.50 per bun. It cost me $7 for both and it was enough to fill me up. The BBQ pork bun was really good. Being a huge hello kitty fan I had to try the hello kitty bun, but wasn't really a fan of the custard filling. They have a few other buns I want to come back to try soon.

    This place gets busy despite it being quite hidden on the corner of Hong Kong city mall. It's not big for dining in, but enough space to move around people. My sister really wanted to try this spot out and we came to get the pork bun bao. I was skeptical at first because places with cute looking things rely on the look of their cute items to carry the product, but I was happy to be wrong. Their dough is not dense. It is fluffy, soft and they really fill the buns. The filling is flavorful and juicy like you expect a pork bun bao to be. They were also very quick and even reheated the buns for us. Definitely worth coming to.

    Cute bakery in the Hong Kong Mall plaza. Many items crossed out on menu, and there's usually a wait after ordering. The bao bread is soft and fluffy, but filling is subpar, in my opinion.

    Cha sui bao
    Linda T.

    Located within Hong Kong market/Ocean Palace plaza, hidden in a corner and entrance from the outside (not inside Hong Kong market). Seems pretty clean inside and out with a few seatings and no public restrooms. They accept cash and cards with adequate parking, shared among many businesses within this plaza. Now, to the goods - the cute baos. Surprisingly, not everything are cute. I wanted to check out Bakery Ngoc Lan since it first opened but never got the chance to until recently. Service was okay. Nothing spectacular as this is common among Asian bakeries. Many of their cute bao are just plain with no fillings. Mung bean coconut (also known as "full bao" on their menu, the one that has Phuc Loc, 2 baos) are semi-sweet and many Asians will enjoy this combination. Their bunny bao (sausage) was disappointing. Sausage wasn't right, it's small and nothing spectacular besides being a tiny cute bunny. But for $2.99 and craftsmanship, it can be okay. Cha sui bao was disappointing. Plain on the outside as in no cuteness and the cha sui was okay. Not a Cantonese style and more peppery with onions. I'm not saying it's not eatable. It was just okay because I can get the same size elsewhere for cheaper with similar quality bao. Would I come back? Maybe for their mung bean coconut bao but not for their savory bao. There's a better bao bakery that's only about 15 steps from Bakery Ngoc Lan, inside of Hong Kong market plaza.

    I was doubtful of this place at first because I saw on one of the instagram reels but the baos were great and they had cute designs also! The prices are decent $3-$5 per bao. The char siu bao was my favorite. This place is outside of Hong Kong City Mall in Chinatown. They do charge 3% if you use a credit card to pay but you can pay through cash, venmo, or zelle.

    This was my first stop off the plane in Houston after a 5 AM flight for breakfast, and it certainly did not disappoint. Tucked away in the corner of the Hong Kong City Market (not accessible inside, must go outside), this bakery had a ton of banh bao options that were very cute and delicious. There were a few tables outside and inside but seemed mainly like a takeaway spot. We got the BBQ pork bun, a mung bean pig bun, and ube cream buns (sold in pairs). My favorite was definitely the ube cream, which had a great flavor. Neither that nor the mung bean were too sweet, and all the buns were soft. Took about ~10 min to steam the buns there, but you could also take them home to steam! These buns live up to the hype -- not only are they cute, they're also delicious.

Inside you will also find French pastries, coffees and teas, gelato, milkshakes, sandwiches and macaroons. I felt the most interesting items were the French pastries as they are cute and tasty as well. Also, they plate the pastries nicely when you dine in as an added bonus. I tried the Chocolate Royale and the Ruby. Chocolate Royale - a petit chocolate mouse slice with flat chocolate panels along the sides. It is delicate and tasty. If you're a chocolate lover, this is definitely up your alley. Ruby - visually this looks like a strawberry Hershey kiss, with red powder on the exterior and a top piece of foil to resemble foil on the wrapper of a hershey kiss. Inside, it's filled with a strawberry cream and has a chocolate base. I just wish there was more chocolate in this one. They have plenty of seating inside as well as along the sidewalk. Inside you have the more fancy tables, whereas outside, they're more weather resistant and not as upscale in appearance. The soft drinks to drink along with your sweets are in a cold case along the hotel side of the space and you just take them to the register as you order. One of the most surprising things when you come here are the relatively affordable prices as you might expect them to be more for being a coffee shop attached to a 5-star hotel with a helipad.

What's nudged this place up to 5 stars for me is they have really improved their coffee game, specifically their quality of cappuccino's. Previously it seemed more of latte, but now to me its a legit Capp. Their choice of pastries hasn't changed, which gives you a good assortment of choices and they have added an additional barista or server which also is a nice touch for service. The only niggling items, parking can be tough, so you'll have to either walk a block or be quick to find a place close by. Regardless, definitely give this place a go to come for a pastry and coffee.

    This is the type of establishment I would always support. Japanese-owned bakery who took over a…read moreprevious French bakery. You can see the perfections in everything they do. The bakery itself is simple and clean. Be respectful of the place and help clean up after yourself. Not one customer made a mess there. Everyone are respectful to the sweet owner. The drinks itself are simple, reasonably priced on the cheaper side. Not sweet at all so ask if you want it to be sweeten. Quality and perfect desserts. Just semi-sweet so if you have a crazy sweet tooth, this is not your bakery. Again, prices are extremely reasonable and I see lots of locals who enjoy coming here. Prices are actually on the lower side of what I see throughout Houston. Passionfruit tart was my favorite, if you need someone to tell you what to try.

    This spot is truly a gem. I did not think I would be able to find a Japanese-owned, small…read morebusiness/pastry shop in Texas but we are lucky to have Chez Kobayashi Pastries in Houston! This store is tucked away in the corner of a strip mall so there is plenty of space for parking. The inside has a good number of seats and tables for customers to sit down and enjoy. There is also an area that has children's books- in both Japanese and English! I was thrilled to see some of the books that I grew up with. The glass display showcases a variety of different pastries and sweets. There is also a separate menu above for sandwiches, crepes, and quiches! I was indecisive so I asked the owner for recommendations and she chose the Mont Blanc and Total Raspberry Tart. Both pastries were perfect- the tart has a raspberry cream on the bottom and the fruit was fresh and naturally sweet. Not to mention, the crust was absolutely delicious. The Mont Blanc was just as tasty. The chestnut puree, Chantilly cream, and crust were all *chef's kiss* And the best part of it all is that the pastries were not too sweet (for those of you who are new to Asian pastries, they are meant to be lighter and not overly sweet)! While my friend and I were enjoying the pastries, I was able to have a brief conversation with the owner and she was incredibly welcoming and kind. Overall, I was thrilled to be able to finally try Chez Kobayashi Pastries and I can't wait to come back and try their savory dishes! ごちそうさまでした‍
