    On a Saturday morning took a drive out to China town from Ewa Beach for sum Dim Sum. My sister wanted to checkout another Dim Sum place, I had suggested this place instead. I remembered once a friend had gotten me some manapua and pork hash from here. Sing Cheong Yuan Bakery a store front for order and go. No indoor or outdoor seating. We arrived at about 8 am, there were a few people in line, it went quickly. The lady who helped me repeated my orders and got my orders correct. Very well organized and efficient service! My order box #1 2 steamed manapuas 2 baked manapuas 8 Pork hash 1 Rice cake Box #2 1 steamed Manapua 12 Pork hash 6 Half moon 2 Rice cakes 2 Red bean Mochi Let me say all of it was yummy! and if you like fresh & authentic tasting Dim Sum. I highly recommend this place. It was definitely worth the drive! Don't forget if you like the mustard dipping sauce you'll have to ask. Cost is .25 or .50 cents. I'm not sure exactly how this dipping sauce is made but it was a perfect mixture.

    Good dim sum and mooncakes, only problem they never tell you there is a 3% charge for using a credit card before running it. And we bought a lot of mooncakes like 8 boxes

    The black sesame moon cake is absolutely delish! Perfect snow skin texture with a balanced black sesame interior.

    Ok, so Chinatown parking is rough but you van park directly across the street in the municipal parking lot. I've never been here when there's not a line, but it moves quickly. It's a super small shop, crack seed, moon cakes and other treats on one side, all the dim sum deliciousness on the other. We gotta grab mochi rice shumai, pork hash, manapua (baked and steamed), shrimp dumplings, and rice cakes.

    Almond Cookies (lack of butteriness and almond flavor; density is hollow) - VN

    The spouse brought home a bag of their almond cookies. I had high hopes for this Chinese version especially coming from a Chinese bakery. On the outside they looked great. But after the first bite, it was pretty disappointing. First off the density was very light and hollow, the total opposite of what I was expecting. Secondly and most importantl, the flavors weren't there. No butteriness and almost no almond flavor. OVERALL: If I'm going to indulge in fat and cholesterol, I want it to be worth it!

    We came here because we heard about their peanut and sesame candy. They also have ha gao and sui mai. I also ordered a curry chicken baked bao. The peanut candy was pretty pricey. The curry bao was different.

    We came on a Friday morning and there was already a line formed outside of the door. This was our last day in Oahu and wanted to eat something simple for breakfast. We tried a few of the classics: Baked and Steamed Cha Siu Manapua, Pork Hash, Shrimp Dumplings, Half Moon, Hot Dog Bun, and Custard Bun. Everything was really good and we were surprised with the amount of filling considering that it wasn't too expensive. I wish there was regular shoyu instead of just mustard shoyu and chili sauce. This place is grab and go with no seating. Street parking around the bakery can be difficult. ig: @cravingswithcat

    Half moon, shrimp dumping, pork hash, mochi rice hash

    A true staple in the area! Everyone's go to spot for dim sum, and Chinese snacks, manapuas, gau, Jin dui, Jung, and all things delicious. In the heart of Chinatown, right by the old Nam fong. One of my favorites is definitely the Jung. Hard to find delicious traditional sticky rice now and sing cheong Yuen does it best. Of course the manapua gotta highlight too. Run by lovely workers, there's always a line but it moves quick! Stop by the bakery and try out all the goods! Thank you for everything you do for the community!

    Baked and steamed char siu manapua

    Absolutely THE best baked manapua in the state and that's coming from a very critical manapua'er. If I could eat these every day, I no doubt would but the jeans will not be very happy about that. While the steamed ones are great too, there are still other contenders for that. The baked ones truly have no rival though! There other pastries are great too like the custard buns and the custard tarts, although I recently tried their layered rice cake and while huge, they were a but underwhelming. I think that's because I remember the ones my dad used to bring home that had the super thin layers that you could peel off layer by layer and enjoy them for what seemed to be an eternity.

    This place has probably one of the best char siu manapuas on the island. Located in Chinatown, it's a must to place to take out some awesome dim sum. Street parking is limited and there could be a lineup outside the small but efficient shop. My favorites are the baked manapua, shrimp dumpling and pork hash. The manapua had a generous amount of filling and baked perfectly. Prices were affordable. I always stop by when I'm in the area. It wont disappoint. Service was fast and friendly. Thank you.

    This is not your traditional bakery. They sell a lot of Chinese foods. They have dim sum, candied fruits and nuts, moon cakes, etc. My two favorite things to get are the pork jin dui and pork hash. My co-worker brought in some items the other day. People love their manapuas, but I've never tried one from here. I'm not a fan of local manapua with the thick breading. I like the traditional steamed Chinese manapua. I got a piece of pork hash, shrimp dumpling and a curry manapua. The pork hash is always good. I like it with the shoyu/hot mustard. The shrimp dumpling had a transparent wrap and filled with huge pieces of shrimp. The curry manapua was ok. The thick breading is not for me.

    Manapua time

    NoMG. My FIL was fixated on getting Sing Cheong Yuan manapua specifically when he was there with my husband last year. No other Hawaiian manapua would do. Cut to our trip to Hawaii and the hubs took us to pick up steamed and baked manapua along with pork shiu mai (they call them pork hash here) and shrimp hargow dumplings. Took them to a luncheon and they were amazeballs. I personally prefer the steamed manapua over baked but honestly both are delicious. The soft pillowy steamed bread is bouncy, not dry, and a perfect accompaniment to the generous cha siu pork filling tucked inside. The pork hash and hargow were also excellent. Also tried the deep fried sesame balls stuffed with sweet red bean and holy smokes this was the best I'd ever had. Not greasy and super crisp exterior. Everything we tried at SCY was amazing. Truly. Bring cash as there is a svc charge to use a credit card. Service is friendly and the ladies are sweet. We went to SCY 3 times during our short stay on Oahu and it was worth it every time. I asked if they shipped frozen manapua but they said no. So sad that I'll have to wait until my next Hawaii trip to have their top notch buns. I guess the FIL really knows good manapua!

    How have I never been here before? Easily the best half moon, pork hash and manapua on the island!! I'd been settling for Chun Wah Kam because it was just my usual spot, even though I hated how the made the half moon in a shumai like shape. This place is legit and the only downside is the location! Pro tip: you can order ahead online, but don't be scared away by a line. It moves really quickly. Once you get to the front, you can view everything in the case and make your box. I got the pork hash, half moon, shrimp dumplings, baked and steamed manapua. I also picked up some rice cake, an egg tart and butter mochi. Pieces are huge and everything was absolutely delicious!! They charge .50 cents for the mustard shoyu or chili garlic. Even with the sauce charges, the items are very reasonably priced and delicious! Bring a friend to help with parking or circling the block while you get your food. Worth a trip to Chinatown for!

    Do they ship or is pickup only option?

    We do both. You can make a pickup order by giving us a call at 8085316688. We ship on singcheongyuan.com and we are also on DoorDash and Uber Eats. Mahalo!

    What is the telephone number for phone orders ? . I want to pick up on Sunday morning July 6 how soon do I have to place my order?

    8085316688. At least a few hours in advance would be best. Mahalo!

    Can we call in for preorder?

    Yes you can. When you arrive at the the shop stand on right side of the door. Right side is for phone orders only. Left side is for walk in orders.🤙

    Does anyone know if they cater? Or if another dim sum place does any catering?

    Hi! We can cater. Food can be placed in foil trays and delivery is also available at an additional cost. Mahalo!

    Is the black sugar just red bean ? Why is it called black sugar then?

    It is a form of sugar. Much different from red bean or lotus.

    I know it's best if bought fresh but they're closed on Tuesdays and I need to pick up omiyage before my 7am flight. Would it be ok if bought today and refrigerated ? What would be the heating instructions?

    For Manapua, Mochi Rice Siu Mai, Pork Hash, Taro Cake on a microwave safe plate covered with a damp paper towel 30 second increments until heated to your liking. Any baked goods like Char Siu Ten, Ma Tai Su, etc in a frying pan without oil over… 

    Wea can l find parking not to far I'm handicapped?

    There is a city and county parking garage literally right across the street from the bakery. There is plenty of parking there.

    Are Their Baked Manapuas Better then the other Manapuas Places on Oahu? I'm asking cause I'm from Maui; Our Manapuas junk !!!

    Royal kitchen has the best baked Bao, But Sing Cheong Yuan bakery is a close second.

    Has anyone called to make a phone order? I've called so many times and no one picked up.

    I have and it can be frustrating but they are very busy at times and don’t answer. I’ve found calling around lunchtime is next to impossible and I recommend, if you want anything for lunch, to call early, and if later on, after the lunch rush.

    Do you have a separate line to pick up phone orders? Because the last two times I was there to pick up my order, I stood in that line to the right of the door, but other people with no phone order went ahead of me.

    It's supposed to be phone orders line up on the right and walk up/to order lines up to the left. There's a small written sign on the right that says, "phone order pick up." Might just have to speak up and let the workers know you're there to pick… 

    I am flying to Maui on the 1st flight so plan on picking up some manapua the evening before so I can bring it with me on the plane. Does anyone know how many manapua can fit in a box? I want to bring 2 boxes but not sure how many to get.

    Probably about a dozen per box or a little more.

    In the months (Aug. to Sept 2021) I went here buying between $35-45 of goods, does one Need to tell the counter person that they want the goods packed in the "BOX" instead of the Styrofoam containers? It seems they are "selective" who gets that.

    The styrofoam boxes are used for the Dim Sum as it is moist & oily. The white boxes are used for large orders going on a plane. They tie the boxes up and put cardboard between to make it sturdy. The red cardboard boxes are used for the Mooncakes… 

    Anyone know whether that cute lucky pig-shaped mooncake available all year round or only during the Moon Festival?

    Unfortunately it's only offered during the Full Moon Festival. I saw them in the window yesterday. Just like Gau it is only made for the Chinese New Year. I wanted to get one for my friend a month after the New Year and was told this. I suggest you… 

    How long do phone orders take for manapuas?

    Should be quick or in a timely manner, they do have a good amount of staff working always. And always have product available.

    Can you call ahead of time and place an order?

    Yes

    Do they have mooncakes year round?

    Usually they do, but call before going down to make sure.

    Do you ship to California?

    Yes! Call 808-531-6688 or email them at singcheongyuan@gmail.com

    Anybody else having trouble checking in here? Standing right in the store and cannot check in PLUS unable to get free custard! :(?…

    Try stepping out of the shop to check in. I had problems where the check in didn't load in the store, then when I left it popped up.
