Not as good as the authentic one, but still delicious. However, considering the price, I won’t visit again.
Skin: thick like load-bearing wall, not crispy Filling: relatively small because of the thick skin Juicy? No, the authentic one uses pork skin jelly but this restaurant uses cheap unknown products which have a strange taste There are lots of minor differences but foreigners won’t see it. I tried the most expensive bun in the toronto and was curious why lots of accounts with only 1-3 reviews rate this place a five star
Edit: I highly doubt u have promotions about rating five stars on google map to get discount or sth like that...... the owner explained that price is high because of hand making, your hand making won’t change sand into gold, and the original ingredients are not good enough, tons of cook in Toronto have better skills than you dude
Edit2: Be realistic and check your poor score on SkipTheDishes/yelp/zomato I am so surprised that you are not conscious about your food quality Other competitors don’t need to hire bots, ask yourself who you can compete with? Your food and skills will lead you to the end It seems like cheating foreigners can give you lots of confidence Your replies are pretty straight forward, so I will reply you in a straight forward way: This is the worst bun I have ever had. Cannot compare to any restaurant in Toronto. Your skills are not adequate if you runs your restaurant in China, cooking in foreign countries is the only way you can earn money. If google deletes my review, I will make a website for you. I guarantee that website will be on the first page of google...
Read moreWas craving for Shanghai fried buns for long time. My colleague recommended this restaurant to me so I assume it’s authentic. When I was there, the queue was not so long, I waited for around 10mins. The staff are very friendly and polite. I ordered 3 different flavors, pork soup bun, shrimp bun and pork bun with egg. Shrimp bun is the best! But I would recommend pork soup bun if it’s your first time tried this kind of buns. The best way of eating soup buns is to pop the entire thing in your mouth and let them burst! The skin is thin and very crispy. The fillings are juicy. Besides pan-fired buns, they also got many other dishes, like boild noodles with onion, various soups and etc. It’s worth trying other side dish as well. The buns are of authentic Shanghai taste, it’s hard to find such a place in Toronto. I will definitely order other dishes next time. Strongly recommend if you like Shanghai...
Read moreBest spot in the food court! The buns live up to their name with a crispy bottom and juicy pork/shrimp inside. I wish I could afford to eat there every day, because if I could I would.
On top of great food the staff are fantastic. The owner showed me how to best enjoy the buns on my first visit and has remembered me every time I've come back.
I recommend this place to all my friends and they've always followed up with positive feedback and appreciation for the suggestion. I've started bringing them to work when we do potlucks and now my peers ask about them when scheduling group events.
Check this place out if you get the chance. I don't know if they're doing delivery right now, but they're still open even with the lockdowns.
Seriously, you won't be disappointed! If you have never eaten this type of bun before, ask...
