House special bao! (My dad ate 2 before I could snap a photo...)
Teresa C.

These stuffed bao Zi buns are the most legit copies of what I remember my grandmother making at home. Thin in the bun breading, with juicy meaty center, love love love. I'll def be coming back. My mom bought a box - 9 of the house special for $11.99, cabbage and pork is $13.99, preserved cabbage and pork is $15.99. My personal favorite is the house special, but mom liked all three. Easy and quick take away process. $20 minimum for credit card.

This' my go-to place for steamed buns. The quality of the baos are pretty consistent, I love the chewiness of the dough and the fillings are flavorful. My favorites are the pork, chicken mushroom and veggie (chive & egg) baos. Tips: Go around noon time that's when all the baos are fresh out of the steamers. Order ahead for the pork baos, since it tends to sell out quickly. Bring cash, they only take credit card with $30+ purchase.

Best Chinese Bun AKA BaoZi 包子

4 stars... for BUNS (BAOZI) only lol!!! I've been hearing all the raves about this place so finally I got to-go order from this place on a pouring rainy day. Maybe it's like after "swimming" in the rain so the buns tasted extra good!! One order comes with 9 buns and I swallowed two buns in about a minute. It really hit the spot!!! I'm reserving the fifth star as I only had one thing here and it's a hole in the wall place so I will be back to see whether the buns continue to hit the spot and whether the other items are worthy of a fifth star. Can't wait!!

That's the worst buns I ever had, the meat is really bad quality, not fresh,only up to $30 can use card,excuse me? I think they doesn't worth the money 非常难吃,馅尝起来只有点甜味,很奇怪,肉也不新鲜

The very worst service we've got so far. I got the buns but the wrong ones and ripped off. Never consider the buns again. AVOID THIS!!

Really the worst service restaurant I've visited. They don't even know what kind of food you order. Try to avoid this place.

We ordered the Big plate chicken to share, and let me tell you, it was phenomenal! The dish is a spicy chicken stew made with Sichuan peppercorns, cumin, and chili paste, and comes with handpulled noodles.

The portion was incredibly generous as well, as the dish was more than enough for the two of us plus leftovers.

Was trying to find a soy milk place in RH area. This place pops out during search…read more The store is located in a shopping mall, so parking wasn't an issue. Although there was only one lady working in the front, she actually was able to run everything(taking the orders, clean the tables, packing the food and refill essentials/food) very well. On top of it, super high positive energy when greeting the customers. One of the main reasons this place reserved the 5-stars reviews. Place is clean and was label. After you placed and paid for the order, just simplely find a table, kitchen will bring the order to you, and you can start serving yourself with 4 great selection of congees (personally 八宝粥 and 小米粥 were my favorites), plus soy milk. I didn't try the side dishes this time. Surely will come back to try it out next time. They have sugar and salt on the side, so you can add according to your own taste. Neither congee nor soy was salted/sweetened, so if you prefer more flavor, definely grab a seasoning dish, and load up the sugars to your likes. They don't have cold soy milk, and don't sell fried donut(油条). That's the only complains I got. Overall, a great breakfast/lunch place.

I just discovered a Chinese restaurant located inside a strip mall at the intersection of Fullerton…read moreand Colima. They specialize in freshly steamed buns (baozi) and feature an all-you-can-eat congee bar. The lady working there speaks Mandarin; she asked if it was my first time, and I told her it was. For just $3, you get unlimited soup and congee with four different varieties to choose from. For an extra $2.50, you get unlimited refills from a selection of four cold side dishes. They also offer à la carte steamed baos, wontons, and dumplings for dine-in or takeout. I didn't have much of an appetite today, so I skipped the buns and just ordered the congee and appetizers. My bill came out to only $5.50 plus tax, which is ridiculously cheap! For the congee, the options were Century Egg & Lean Pork, Eight Treasure, Millet, and Hulatang (Spicy Pepper Soup). I tried the Century Egg & Lean Pork congee, but the texture was a bit watery, and the flavor was somewhat bland. The Hulatang (hot pepper soup) was a little too thick and jelly-like. While the Millet congee was also on the bland side, I actually really enjoyed the texture. I skipped the Eight Treasure congee this time. Honestly, at $3 for all-you-can-eat congee, it sounds too good to be true, so I didn't have high expectations for the quality. However, I really liked the cold side dishes bar! They had all my favorites, including Liángbàn Tǔdòusī (shredded potato salad), shredded wood ear mushroom salad, and spicy cucumber salad. I will definitely go back next time to try their dumplings, wontons, and baozi.

Tried the "everything" crepe, and it was my first time having this style. Really enjoyed it--the combination of ingredients created a surprisingly complex and well-balanced flavor. Definitely worth checking out, if not just for the experience alone. A nice change of pace and a solid option to see if it's your thing.

Can you believe it's only $10? And the crepe came out to be bigger than my face. We came around 5…read morePM on a Saturday and we were the only ones there, so we got ours super quick. And because these are made on the street, it really gives off that strong street food vibe. The crepe comes with 3 eggs, a hotdog, crackers, chili sauce, mung beans, and more. Of course if there's anything you don't like, you can also let them know before starting that you'd like to exclude it. Taste wise, I think I expected something different. I saw them adding so much sauce and spreading it evenly, so I expected super flavorful bites all around, but I guess because the sauce was added to the top instead of being mixed with the eggs (which I know isn't possible with the way it's made), you get super bland and dry bites mixed with super salty ones. Maybe this just isn't for me because my husband loved it and chowed down on it real fast. Recommend getting this to share as it's huge and some might not like it. Good value for what you get for sure.

The food is absolutely phenomenal. I have been meaning to go here because of all the hype on social…read moremedia about their San Gabriel location so I was excited to realize there was one nearby. Their HK style food is authentic and delicious. We started with the hot and sour soup and it is literally the best version we have ever had. It had a bit of the Szechuan numbing spice and was a huge portion so we took half home. We also ordered their steamed rice rolls with shrimp and chive and you can tell it was made fresh by the wrinkles in the rice paper. The last item we ordered was their chinese sausage clay pot. It was exactly what we were craving. Crispy rice all along the edges with perfectly steamed rice, chinese broccoli and crispy chinese sausage. It was hard to choose because their menu was huge and we came late so we missed the pineapple buns but definitely need to try it next time. I also saw everyone ordering the lemon iced tea and realized it's because they do free refills! That's another need to try. I felt the value was really great and we definitely are coming back. Service was also great. The waiters quickly came over when you waved them down and they checked on you just the right amount of time. The decor inside is very cute and I love the retro style. Only complaint I would have is that we sat on the left side of the restaurant and there were quite a few mosquitos on the booth so we ended up sitting on one side.

My family and I came over for lunch, and it was loud and crowded on a Sunday at about noon. We…read morechecked in and got a number. It took about ten minutes for us to get a booth table, but we were waiting inside. The staff member called numbers firstly in Cantonese then in English. After we sat down, the waiting line persisted past 1 pm. Similarly, the bustling loudness continued on during the course of our meal. Food arrived quickly, however. The price point for the delicious food is competitive. We got French-style filet mignon ($18.99), braised tofu in brown sauce ($14.99), chicken chow mein ($14.99), and a steamed rice noodle roll with barbecue pork ($5.99). A pot of rice was included in our meal. The steamed rice noodle roll with barbecue pork was a nice appetizer that arrived first. I enjoyed how the French-style filet mignon was garnished with Thai basil, black pepper, and ginger. The meat was flavorful and tender. The braised tofu in brown sauce was consistently hot on the inside. The delicious brown sauce soaked throughout the vegetables. The chicken chow mein didn't have a lot of sauce, but it was still delicious with a lot of meat included. Overall, it would be nice to visit again outside of a peak time because the food prices are competitive. The menu is expansive, and the breakfast selections look interesting. The atmosphere during the Sunday lunch peak time was consistently bustling. I think the restaurant started to play Chinese music loudly at random points so that people could finish dining more quickly.
