I have no idea what I'm eating. Is this dessert or an appetizer? According to the poster, they take chiffon cake and then roll it around in pork or chicken floss that also has some extra flavours built in. They sell the pork or chicken options in packages of 6's and you can mix and match to try different ones. Light and crunchy texture. Easy to eat a bunch at once. At $3.50+ per bun it's definitely something I'd get for dessert and then split with others. read more

Quick take out during pandemic, no line on a saturday afternoon. Their popular options are pork floss bun and chicken bun. min 6pcs. I got the pork floss $21+tax. TIP: buying in store saves you $7 than if you were to order through door dash or uber eats ($30 not including delivery!) The buns were the SOFTEST thing I've ever eaten, extremely light and fluffy its like biting into a cloud. Creamy mayo sauce inside and overall great taste. Just personally too expensive for a bun at $4-5, I think it would be worth my money if there were actual pork inside. I get it that it's a unique/niche item and competitive in the yonge/finch area. read more

These Baos were gifted to me by a dear friend. I never heard of it till today, however I am happy to say I'll be eating a lot more of these in the future !!!! The one thing I always complained about when it came to Chinese buns was that there was never enough toppings and filling. But oh boy do these hit the spot and check off all the boxes for yes when it comes to having lots of topping, filling and overall freshness and taste!!!! I will definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking to eat some nice tasting Hong Kong style buns. Can't wait to be able to try the other flavors, and when I do I will give a better review. So far the only flavours I manage to have right now is the pork floss and seaweed filled with the creamy mayonnaise Can't wait to be able to try the other flavors, and when I do I will give a better review. So far the only flavours I manage to have right now is the pork floss and seaweed filled with the creamy mayonnaise. They were so delicious with every bite, super soft and fluffy as well. read more

Was first introduced to this place from a friend who gifted us a box and I loved it! It's been more than a year since then and I have not forgotten about these buns and I went back a few months ago. Taste: The baos are super soft and fluffy. The cream is the middle is sweet while the pork and chicken floss add a bit of saltiness which perfectly combines the flavours. Texture could be comparable to fluffy Japanese pancakes, that's how fluffy they are! Can't choose between which I liked more, the chicken or pork floss, because both tasted delicious and were unique in their own way. If you get the chance to try this place, I suggest you get their mix of pork and chicken floss since the chicken (crab egg flavour) is more sweet and the pork floss (seaweed flavour) is more salty than the chicken floss buns. I actually ate the whole box myself as family members weren't interested in it. But even after eating the full box, I couldn't stop thinking about it! Price: Love the buns but they are on the expensive side. They are worth the occasional splurge in my opinion and I rationalize the cost by considering it a gift to myself. Mix of Pork Floss Cake (Seaweed Flavour) + Chicken Floss Cake (Crabegg Flavour): $21.75 Wish it was location closer to me as I would get them more often but a bit happy it's further away as I would be spending a lot of my money here. A must try and I recommend you pick up a box when you're in the North York area! Great for gifts as it's unique and tastes good. read more

As a super fan of pork floss that goes well practically anything (rice, bun, sandwiches), had to give this a try. Bakery is small and mainly for express takeout only. Apparently a famous bakery from China. Ordered 6 pack of mixed flavor (Crabegg Chicken Floss and Sesame Seawood Pork Floss) for $21. It's essentially a bun filled with custard and a ton of pork and chicken floss on the outside. Personally I really enjoyed the floss only as the custard was too soft and creamy. Asides from that not much else on their menu. A bit overpriced for a dessert snack so likely will only go back if have a huge craving for floss. read more

How fluffy are these bad boyz?! First time trying them, and I literally ate 3 out of the 6 buns. I got the pork floss of course! A bit pricey but hey, got to try them because I heard so much hype about these si fu baos! It's like a soft chiffon type of texture. I thought I would not enjoy the pork floss, because I don't even eat the regular chinese buns with pork floss on them. The white sauce, I have no idea what is in it... but it compliments the whole bun. So if you are looking for the right amount of sweet and savoury treats...for sure try si fu bao pastry. read more

I read a lot of reviews from other people who said how they don't taste authentic or is a fake oversea copy brand, but my experience is different as I've never tried the bakery in Asia before. As it was my first time here, I wanted to try their cake baos as my coworker bought one before and I was able to try abit of it. The workers were very helpful and nice to us when we came, and even helped us decide on what to get. Generally the price overall is a bit high as to get 6 will be at least $24, and you can't buy it individually. Their cake Baos come in 2 different floss options; chicken or pork. We got the mixed option as we liked both floss haha. The pork floss was very soft, and the chicken floss is a bit crunchier if you like that texture. The baos were very soft, and very creamy inside. Although they are pretty fatty, this is definitely a good treat to reward yourself ;) read more

Food: 5/5 I was never a fan of pork floss buns. It was always either dry, or the topping to bread ratio was bad. And happened to walk by this place on my way back home and the 20% deal caught my eye (it's all in Chinese, but I was able to make some of it). After some talking, they told me that I had to download WeChat and share this place. IG or other forms of social media was not an option. The deal was all in Chinese and I haven't met any non-Chinese person that has WeChat so I felt a bit like an outsider/unwelcomed. But the staff was generally nice. Now the food. I've tried their chicken floss and pork floss. They are both REALLY good. And they do not skimp out on the flossing! They add a lot. The buns they use are super soft and tasty. And the cream that they fill it with compliments with the flossing and the bun really well. The only thing I was confused was that the 'crabegg' flavour chicken floss tasted nothing like it, and it had dried shrimps in it (it was still really good). And another reason why it's a 4 star was because of the price. You have to buy 6 buns and the chicken one comes to around $25 without any discount. I think the price is justified, but having to pay for 6 buns at $25 would seem a bit much. Would probably visit some time but only when I'm with people. I don't think I'll get it just for myself. read more

Had the opportunity to pass by this area and yelped what's around. Saw this Si Fu Bao..... - small kiosky store. - 2 people allowed for Covid-19 protocol. They have 4 types/flavours. Must buy in a pack of 6 or 12 ONLY. $21-$24/pack. I bought the 12 pack snowball/white floss for $24+taxes, $27 something. Was it worth, in my humble opinion? No. I find their product (chiffon-floss) will be a one-time expensive buy/mistake/curiosity for me and to anyone who had spent $24 on a better selection of pastries elsewhere. The photos advertised outside this shop look enticing and huge (reasonably). However, in reality, these chiffon-floss "balls" are small and just plain cheap-looking...nothing indicative of its $2-$4/ price. The effort in making them (done in front of the customer) is so rudimentary. The ingredients in making one, perhaps, cost them $0.05 a piece! Labor/rent/profit take care of the rest. I can't believe that it takes 3 people to assemble 1 chiffon-floss ball! Hahahahaha.... marketing tactic to make the product look so precious and valuable. After tasting one, regret came over me! There you go, if you have $27 to spare to help them pay their rent, go for it. Otherwise, you would be wise to just skip it. read more

First time trying these; the buns and filling are definitely made fresh and the flavours are well balanced. A little pricy compared to the Chinatown buns we typically get (lol) but makes for a nice treat when sharing with friends! read more

Waste of money. There's a minimum order and it literally tastes like you're eating a ball of mayo. I don't know how people can eat this shit. Sorry. But it's a no for me. read more

Si Fu Bao Pastry - Pork floss and chicken floss - Bakeries Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Buns are a bit pricey, and only come in boxes of 6. You can split the box to get three of each flavor, though. The chiffon(?) cake was done well. Super fluffy, very soft and bouncy even. The cream itself, while very creamy, didn't have much of a flavor. Personally, I preferred the crab egg chicken floss over the seaweed sesame pork floss because it was a bit sweeter, but I couldn't really taste any crab egg. These held up pretty nicely in the fridge over night, the floss was a bit softer but nothing was mushy or soggy. read more

The Bao here are amazing especially the crab egg chicken flops Bao. Waiting to pay at the counter took long but other wise I would come again. Savory meets sweet bun read more

My first impression of the baos was that they looked very good and nicely made. However I think this is a little bit pricey for the baos ($22 for 6 I believe). Their home-made secret sauce seemed like it's a mixture of cream cheese and mayo, and it was very greasy. Nothing special about the the baos, would not try it again! read more

Disappointed with this considering there was a long line up when they first opened. First, you cannot try just one bun, you need to buy 6 which is pretty ridiculous considering it's $21 for the box. These buns do not last overnight because the pork floss starts to get soggy. Second, the pork floss tastes exactly like any pork floss you can buy at the Asian supermarket. Third, the cream has a weird sour taste to it compared to other places that have a fresh buttery cream inside the pastry. There's nothing special about it that makes me want to try it again. read more
