    Baked Goods
    Harvey K.

    I have been coming to Mian Bao House for years, not only for their baked goods, but also for their packaged rice noodles. For those of you don't know, they are affiliated with Rice Valley (稻香村), a major rice noodle producer in the Bay Area. My family and I were shopping in the area on 12/18/2025 and we decided to stop by here to pick up some rice noodles. Unbeknownst to us, they had added a small full-service pho operation to their space. Naturally, we were intrigued. After learning from the attendants that there's a 50% off promotion on everything (pho and baked goods), we decided to give their pho a try. Their menu featured a limited selection of appetizers, salads, pho/rice dishes, and sandwiches. We ordered a Beef Pho Combo ($12), a Bún Bò Huế Combo ($14), and an à la carte beef pho ($9). The combos came with a half order of appetizer and a drink. My brother and I both chose XLB as our appetizers. They were straight out from the freezer and tasted alright. The milk tea that came with the meal was pretty decent. The BBH had a couple pieces of pig trotter, as well as an ample amount of sliced beef, sliced shank, and chả lụa (steamed pork roll). The only thing missing was the blood cake. The broth was mild, and had a decent taste despite the absence of MSG. The round rice noodles weren't overcooked and had the right texture. The beef pho came with a good amount of fresh rice noodles, sliced beef, sliced shank, tripe, and beef balls. My brother and mom were both pleased with the taste. The attendant who helped us was friendly and helpful. The total, with tax and tip, was about $43. The value was absolutely fantastic, and the food was actually pretty decent. If you are looking for a good deal for pho, come check this bakery out. Better do it fast because I have no idea when the promotion will end. 4 stars.

    5/5 for service. It's the same store but they added a Vietnamese restaurant to the store front and pushed the bakery section to the back of the store. Everything is 50% off, so a great deal to shop for now! They have frozen dim sum, freshly steamed Chinese buns, the normal baked bread, egg tart in the fridge section with bottled beverages, and cake slices. The store is clean but not a lot of decorations, which is fine for a bakery/simple restaurant setup. Would encourage friends to come check it out and take advantage of the deal. Their steamed buns look huge!

    BBQ Pork Bun
    Tina L.

    My gf said this place had pineapple buns and since I've never had one I had to go check them out. The store had a variety of pastries and it was kind of late already and still a good amount of pastries left. Found the pineapple buns and went to pay for them and found the pork buns up by the cashier. Cashier was friendly asked about our 5 de mayo plans. She was fast efficient. She was sharing that the mini pork buns were ready and the rest still had a couple hours left. I ended up getting a mini pork bun. There were cake slices including a durian one which I was tempted to get but will have to come back for it. Pineapple bun was delicious. Not super sweet and a soft bun pastry texture. Reminds me a lot of a concha but softer and less sweet. The pork bun had a good filling. Delicious to eat right away as it keeps its consistency. The space has enough space to walk around. Parking can be difficult to find during peak hours. Will come back to try the cakes.

    The goodies... Hot dog bun and 4 pandan sponge cakes
    Connie C.

    I'm a sucker for their pandan sponge cakes. Whenever I'm visiting this plaza for other restaurants nearby, I swing by here either before or after my meal. They carry your usual Chinese bakery items, but I'm not too interested in them other than the hot dog buns, even that one isn't the classic style that I prefer. They carry some frozen buns as well if you prefer the steamed ones. They do sell hot items like egg tarts, I've never tried these though. They have various flavored mousse cakes that were pretty good in flavor. For $2 a slice, it's pretty good, but don't expect them to be super grammable. Their sponge cakes though... that's a different story, they have original and strawberry flavors, I don't care about those at all. However, they do all fall in the Buy 3 Get 1 deal. If you want variety, have at it with the mix and match. I believe the sponge cakes are $3 a piece, but I stopped caring about the price long ago.

    Great little hidden gem in this plaza. This is a small bakery that is not very noticeable. I've been in this plaza so many times before actually noticing this place and went in to browse around. They have good bakery. Sliced cakes are delicious and very reasonably priced. They have what the Cantonese called it"white sugar cake" which my kids love! There's a little freezer filled with steam buns and dumplings. Will try that one day.

    I stopped by after getting my haircut. I had been in here before but thought it was a cute mom and pop bakery. All their buns looked delicious. Today, I decided to get a mooncake. I tried the pandan mooncake. It's not my usual go-to, but I wanted to try a new flavor. The outside cakey part was light and flavorful. Also, not oily at all. The pandan filling inside was light and smooth. It was a sizable amount as the outer cake was thin. Very tasty! The service was very friendly and helpful!

    Strolled by Sunnyhills Plaza in Milpitas tonight and was pleasantly surprised to discover this bakery restaurant. We decided to try their pho combo -- and while taste can always be subjective, there's no doubt it offers great value for the price, especially in 2025! The owner clearly knows how to build strong customer relationships and foster loyalty. We're big fans of supporting local businesses and truly wish them all the best.

    egg tarts
    Jenny T.

    I dropped by here on a Sunday evening to impulsive buy some sweet treats. The worker behind the counter was very help in telling me what they had available and what their specials currently were. I left with some egg tarts, vanilla roll cake and a thai tea. All of the items were pretty good. The worker asked if I wanted the perfect looking egg tarts and if i minded the cracked tops. I didn't mind, so I got some cracked tops. I'll be back when I am in the area I'm sure.

    Pastries
    Diane W.

    We stoped by here after eating at the noodle restaurant next door. There are so many yummy cakes and pastries to pick from. The young girl at the checkout counter was extremely helpful and super friendly. We picked a variety of goodies to take home. Everything was so fresh and looked delicious. We picked 10 items and it was only $20. I thought that was a bargain. So far we have tried the pandan cake and the jelly roll cake with cream. Both were excellent. Looking forward to trying the rest. I would definitely recommend coming here and trying these delicious cakes and buns. They also have savory items.

    If you are in San Jose, this is a hidden gem for buns. Large variety and friendly staff. We stopped by before our dinner next door.

    Purple Yam, BBQ Pork, Coconut, Custard Buns
    Monica S.

    Found this bakery after my husband and I grabbed some ramen a couple doors down. We were craving some sweets/pastries and were happy to stumble in here. On the left hand side there was various buns available for purchase. It was all mixed up but had the different color labels to help identify the flavors. The young cashier was spunky and had a lot of energy. I appreciate her recommendations and enthusiasm letting us know all the buns are baked fresh daily. There was a deal at the time which was buy 4, get one free or get 10 for $15, I think. We bought the coconut, purple yum, bbq pork, and custard buns. I liked them all except the bbq pork. Probably wouldn't recommend that one. But the employee did mention one of the top sellers is the tuna bun. Would love to try that one next. Also we were told the buns can stay fresh up to a week as long as it's in the fridge!

    Various $1 cake slices. Strawberry, mango, cheese cake, pandan, taro and durian. Only $9

First off, the place is super cute but also kind of overwhelming in the best way. There are literally walls of bread and pastries everywhere, and so many options that I didn't even know where to start. I went in planning to spend just a few bucks on Señorita bread and somehow walked out $20 deep with a whole box of stuff. I ended up trying turon, a puto sampler, a bunch of different donuts, and of course the Ube Señorita bread. Honestly, everything was so good. Like fresh fresh. The bread was still warm in my hands, which made it even better. The staff didn't really speak much English, but it honestly wasn't an issue at all. They were super patient and helpful, and still managed to explain what everything was so I could try new things. At the end, I just told one of the ladies I had $20 and wanted to try a variety, and she literally put together a whole selection for me. That was probably my favorite part. The line was kind of long, but it makes sense because the food is clearly worth it. If anything, it just reassured me I was in the right place. Overall, if you're even thinking about trying Señorita bread or just want to explore Filipino pastries, this spot is 100 percent worth it. Just be prepared to go in for one thing and walk out with way more.

Liked that it was fluffy. So glad we stumbled upon this bakery because we wouldn't have been able to experience the delicious bun and sweet roll.

I rarely go up to San Francisco which has some good bakery shops that makes great pineapple buns. I found this place on Yelp that carries pineapple buns. When I came Sunday evening, they had none left. The cashier said she will set aside some for me the next day for pick up at lunch. Sure enough I was able to get 4 pineapple buns plus I thought I try their bbq pork buns. The pineapple buns were soft and the topping wasn't as flaky as the Hong Kong pineapple buns. The sweetness level and bun were light whereas the Hong Kong is much sweeter and slightly heavier. I say their pineapple bun is decent and their bbq pork bun is smaller than the Hong Kong version. I rate this place a 3.
