We've stopped by here a few times before but never actually bought anything. Today we finally came back because we noticed the other day that they had a special. 5 buns for $10 or 10 for $16.99! I told my husband we had to come back on the weekend so we could stock up on buns to eat for the week. We arrived around 12:30 pm and there were a few people eating in the front restaurant area. They currently have an XLB and wonton noodle special for $8 each, and we also noticed they have different weekday specials for around $6.50. We'll definitely be back to try some of those! But today, our mission was the buns. They have a really good variety to choose from. My husband picked out 10 and then told me I should get 10 too. I went for a variety, while hubby mainly loaded up on the custard buns. The buns are a good size, and the custard buns were packed with custard! I also tried the BBQ pork bun, which wasn't bad. The pork floss bun especially brought back memories of my mom packing them in my school lunches when I was younger. There were so many other choices, hot dog with green onions, regular hot dog buns, chicken mushroom, ham and cheese, ham and corn, tuna, taro, red bean, and quite a few others. I picked up a chicken mushroom bun to try as well. I was a little sad they didn't have a plain green onion bun since that's my favorite, so I ended up going across the street to a dim sum to-go place to pick one up. Overall, you really can't beat the price and variety, especially with this special. If you like Asian bakery-style buns, this is a great place to stock up. We'll definitely be back -- next time to try some of their food specials too! read more

Came here for the daily special discount on a Wednesday, so had bun bo hue for $6.50! They have daily specials for dishes like tonkatsu ramen, beef pho, wonton noodle soup, chicken pho for only $5-6.50 a bowl. The bowls actually have a good amount for the price. The boomer way had a good amount of meat sausage and came with veggies and noodles that were chewy. The broth was pretty good. It was spicy. It was confusing when I first got there because we didn't know how to order and it turns out that the only dish that they serve that day is the special so everyone is eating the special. I also wanted to try the other dishes, but didn't get to which is OK now I know that it's only the daily special on that day. The food came out pretty fast and the workers are very occupied. I'd want to come back for more to try the other specials too. For someone who doesn't eat too much, it's actually perfect so I don't have to spend so much on a big portion. read more

This restaurant looks like a bakery but serves quite a solid pho. The front portion of the shoplot is pho restaurant, the back portion is bakery. For only $14, you get a giant bowl, it's decent price. I had the Beef Pho and the Bun Bo Hue; both were delicious, even the BBH was not the authentic version. The staff were really welcoming. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

This place has gone a big change as it's both a bakery and a Pho restaurant. Have had their Pho several times both take out and eating there. Excellent Pho and very cheap. They had a grand opening recently and things are half price for now. Will be back just for the Pho. read more

Walked by this place and saw the big sign for $5 noodle soup special, and 5 buns for $10. In this economy, I had to try it. Hostest was nice and took my order at the front before being seated. I didn't realize until later that I can just order from the table QR code. For $5 the ramen was good tasting and the portion met my expectations. The buns were delicious. Each one had so much filling. Definitely plan on coming back! read more

Sharing for reference: As others below have mentioned, this business is now a Pho restaurant. The interior has been fully re-done and no longer operates as a bakery. The original name "Mian Bao House" is still posted outside, but visitors walking in will find only a tiny selection of bakery items (delivered from commercial bakery in Oakland) in a crammed, slim hallway with poor lighting. There is no signage explaining the business change, the environment is not welcoming, and staff's first priority are the restaurant customers. Any questions about bakery items are required to wait until a server is freed up. Please keep this business change in mind before trying to visit or searching for a baked goods. read more

Great promotion for Mon through Fri for $5 , 11am-7pm. Not sure when it will last. Good for a try. Food is above average. Big portion, great service, place clean. read more

The buns are on point. Tasty dough and tasty filling. Good dough to filling ratio. Not too sweet. And the price is right. But the pho and bahn mi. Really really not good. I know they just reopened and added the restaurant component, so hopefully they are able to improve this. But, the bahn mi and the pho were really... miserable. No flavor in the pho. Broth was thin. Lots of noodles. Not much meat. No herbs. The bahn mi was better. But the pickled carrots were not quite right. Barely any meat. Definitely not worth $12. TLDR. Get the buns but don't get the other food...for now. read more

This place is amazing food was delicious and they also have a bakery come and check it out I just finish eating beef pho and got some thing from the bakery to go read more

The staff are very nice. Their bakery items have always been great. However, they should have remained a bakery instead of expand into a restaurant. As a restaurant, it was not great. The meat had a smell to it (as if it's past its best by date). There was very little flavor to anything except extreme saltiness. I would not be returning for the Vietnamese food. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I went here and got a Vietnamese chicken salad to go. Wow - all fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked and shredded chicken just like it should be. Dressing on the side, just the right amount. My only nit was the lack of cilantro. Great prices and the staff were so sweet and helpful! I'm sorry but I beg to disagree with Ivy S. (earlier reviewer). I think the combo. of Viet dishes and baked goods it great! Love it! read more

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! read more

Came here with some coworkers who told me about this spot having dollar cakes. Boy was I glad that I came in. They had so many flavors to choose from I couldn't believe it. Overall the cakes are good in flavor, they're airy and light and the cream(mousse) is not too sweet as Asian pastries should be. They were only $1 when I came in , but I've heard since this writing, the price of the cake slices have gone up to $1.50. Regardless it's still cheaper than other places but again this cake is light, and not dense as other places such as 85 degree or Paris baguette so you can't really compare it. There was only one employee working at the time which I assume was the owner and baker, So it took some time as she carefully attended to each customer. Would definitely come back to try some other pastries. read more

We were eating at the plaza when I spotted the mian bao house in large letters across the parking lot. We went to check it out and when we got to it, we walked in and saw the front portion of the store looked like it was a storage room or being remodeled. When we checked out the baked buns, they seemed soft and were individually wrapped. They also had a deal for 10 for $15.99. The buns were delicious. The butter raisin was like a cocktail bun with raisins. Good! Would come again if I was in the area. read more

A friend suggested this spot, so we stopped by for dessert! Right when we walked in, I was shocked at how low the prices were for the little cake slices; $1-2 was unbelievable! It's a small store but there is a wide variety of things to choose from, and the employees are happy to help if we need it. Here's what I got & here's what I thought: Cake slice - Mocha (4/5) - Not that sweet! Cake slice - Chocolate (5/5) Cake slice - Tiramisu (5/5) Tiramisu was my favorite, but all three were so good! I like how they are layered with a little bit of cake and some gelatin/mousse type layer (which is SO so good by the way). Not only were they yummy, but also filling! If you're ever in the area, this is an absolute must try! read more

Loved their porkfloss taro cake. Not too sweet, generously covered in pork floss. Super fluffy. I almost turn around to get a few more boxes but has enough self control to pace myself. But I'll definitely be back. Not sure what else is good here but that one item at least will have me coming back. The items here are a mix of Chinese and Vietamese/Southeast Asian flavors which I love. read more

Now buy 4 get 1 free, $2.75 each or $11 for 5 buns. Not too bad when compared to PB or TLJ. Selection is plentiful and restocked on the weekends. As for service, don't expect too much friendliness. The young ladies are either helping out family or maybe tired from standing all day. read more

Happy with all the stuff I got. I would come here instead of 98 degree bakery. This place is more smaller mom and pop shop like instead of corporate chain like. Parking was easy.

We were in the area to pick up some lunch and decided to walk around the plaza at the shops. Mian Bao House caught our attention as we kind of have this thing for bakeries. L O C A T I O N Located in the Sunnyhills Shopping Center, it's to the faaaar left of the Lion Supermarket. There's not much parking as there are a bunch of shops on this side and it may be a little tough finding a spot during busy times. I N S I D E / I T EM S Mian Bao House seems to be trying to compete with a lot of the nearyby shops (boba, frozen pastry/dumplings, bakeries, banh mi, etc.) so they basically sell everything but with a focus on baked goods a la Sheng Kee or 85 Degrees. We ended up picking up some baked savory warm pastries. What were the winners? The Small Chicken Pot Pie was exactly what you think it would be. A nice crust and chicken pot pie filling that was very flavorful. The other winner was the Pork Meat Mooncakes. It was thick y'all. There's a lot of meat in there and the flavors were on point. I'm sure there was some pork fat melted inside and I felt it in every bite. The other pastries, I could totally skip: Curry Beef Puff (had a weird taste), BBQ Pork Puff (needed more meat), and Egg tart (I'm not a huge egg tart fan, it was quite eggy). S E R V I C E The person who was there was quite quirky and friendly. Easily paid and went on our way. O V E R A L L For what we got, it wasn't bad. I think there's a lot of competition in the area of baked goods and just other items that I feel like they're tackling a bit too much but maybe it's working for them. Definitely a good place to peruse and try a bit of everything. read more
