Before the store opens there was already a line at 10am which would set you back around 30mins. There’s a security guard to direct back of lines and traffic. All the pork buns are steamed fresh and once you get them in a piping hot bag, you can go to the plaza to devour them whilst standing and it is definitely worth the wait. The buns are juicy and it does remind me of buns made in China but with a Japanese finesse to it. There’s no other options other than pork buns and a great sign of their confidence in their own produce. If you want a sit down or vegetarian option go to their mother store which is across the street see the third photo, and less crowded. There even toilet and you get to have a mushroom filling rather than pork. Highly recommend if you’re in second biggest Chinatown in Japan - Kobe.
