    Cha Sui baos and hot dog buns , and pineapple bun.
    Toma C.

    The egg custard was really good the best I had so far on the island but the wifey cookie was thin and I wouldn't recommend it. Nice owners I would support them and try the other stuff they sell next time.

    Shops along Hotel St.  Bakery in the middle... not on Maunakea St. as address indicates.

    Happen to be in Chinatown and finding this bakery was a must. We always enjoy the ham & cheese buns from here... someone always brings a box to pot lucks. Bakery is located in between the vegetable shops along Hotel Street (although official address is Maunakea St.). Handful of items to choose from... and reasonably priced ($2-something each). Will return.

    A heavenly custard bolo bao
    Ann C.

    Have only tried 2 things from here- their standard egg tart and their pineapple custard bun. The egg tart was just OK- the custard was well set, not too sweet, and a little bland; the pastry could have been much more buttery/flaky. The pineapple custard bun was fresh baked out of the oven and was perfect. Crunchy buttery topping, soft pillowy bread, stuffed with lots of not-too-sweet custard. Will return for the pineapple custard bun and to try more items!

    Grace lives up to her name :) Behind her mask, I could "see" her genuine smile as she welcomed me into her shop. It isn't crowded or noisy at 6:30 a.m. so she excitedly reminded me that everything is still warm out of the oven. It was early and I wanted something to snack on before I started my shopping adventure. I feel better about having pastry if I know I'll be walking it off LOL Everything looked good and it made me curious which items were local favorites. She said the Hong Kong Cocktail buns and I should have known better because Popo used to always buy those! She also said Japanese tourists come for her bun with red bean like an pan; and the locals like the bun with hot dog centers. The custard tarts weren't ready yet but I did find a couple things to enjoy (now and later!) Grace sure did start my day off right, with her warm aloha spirit and delicious pastry. She said that a number of customers are there at 5:30 a.m. to purchase items for breakfast, lunch for later, or like me...a morning snack to kick start my day. And did you know they've been around for 35 years! Unless I heard her wrong? Now I know why my grandma liked shopping here! Thank you Grace :)

    Cocktail bun and manapua
    Dante H.

    Came here with a friend who wanted to buy plants in Mauna Kea Marketplace. Bakeries abound around here and I wandered into this one, perhaps one of the only ones I've never been to, behind one of the perennially crowded bus stops. It's a cute, tiny store with pastries surrounding you when you walk in. I decided to get the Hong Kong Cocktail bun and char siu manapua. About $2 each for sizable pastry, standard price if not on the cheaper side. They were both put in a plastic bag and I wandered off to the fenced off tables of the maunakea marketplace square (confucius/guanyin square?) to eat. The manapua wasn't my favorite. The bun was nicely sweet and chewy, but, first, it was kind of destroyed when I peeled off the paper, and the charsiu inside wasn't really flavorful, vaguely sweet with a kind of metallic aftertaste. I love char hung sut's super meaty filling and this was pretty different--a matter of preference though, I guess. The cocktail bun--the characters for which are literally cock tail--was tasty though. I've never had one and I wasn't sure what to expect. It had a shiny exterior with what looked like some butter on the outside. It had a similarly sweet and chewy bun, maybe more fluffy, than the manapua, and also a sweet coconut filling. I'm not a huge coconut fan, but this had a subdued taste, almost more like vanilla than coconut. The texture was in between koshi an and the sugar butter mix on the outside of ensaymada. Very tasty and perfect for an afternoon snack at work.

    Hong Kong pastries in Honolulu's Chinatown... Walking around Chinatown with my coworker is very educational. She's from Hong Kong, so I believe her when she talks about their cuisine. She recommended this bakery, so I ordered a few things that looked good to me. I got the don tat (egg custard tart), coconut tart, and mini pineapple bun. I thought that the crusts of the two tarts were good because they were flaky. The contents were ok. The egg custard was a bit watery and the coconut filling was a bit dense and on the dry side. I liked the pineapple bun, but the pineapple flavor wasn't apparent to me. The service seemed friendly enough. I repeated my order several times. Perhaps there is a language barrier because I thought I ordered a cha siu bao... there was none in my package... That's okay... less calories and I saved some money... haha! Anyway, I wouldn't go out of my way for these items. Maybe I ordered the wrong things? My coworker got a rolled pastry from the refrigerated section. The Spam Cheese Bun sounded interesting and so did the Green Onion Bread in Sherrie's review. Oh, well... next time!

    This little gem was fabulous! I ordered a coconut cream bun which was soft and delicious. The coconut cream was sweet and buttery and complimented the bread without overpowering it. I ordered the coconut peanut butter mochi and loved it! They were 3 for $2.49, so a good value. The last item was a walnut red bean pastry. This was my favorite! The dough was flaky and flavorful and the red bean and walnut mixture had the perfect amount of sweetness. The woman working was very nice and friendly and welcomed us even though we were neither local or Chinese. Tips: This was a cash only business, so keep that in mind.

We took the opportunity to stop by for a pre-dinner snack since they closed at 6PM. It's a cute shop with multiple sweets including quite a selection of housemade ice cream and delectable mouthfuls called Cake Bombs (Photo 10). We decided we would be good and ordered one unfilled Malasada each. Dusted with various sugar flavors, they were just $2.65 a piece.
