Came here after hiking at the Marin Headlands. Since I was in the area, I decided to pass by and get some Chinese baked goods. And I'm glad I did. There were many choices and all of them looked equally appetizing. Decided to order the essentials - bbq pork bun, hotdog bun, spam and egg bun, curry bun and, of course, egg custard. I had to wait for about 10 minutes because they were out of the custards. The wait made it sooo difficult not to start eating the bbq pork bun. It was warm and pillowy-soft and the bbq pork had the right amount of sweetness to it. It. Was. Good. The egg custard came out of the oven flaky and warm and satisfying.

So I'm definitely coming back for the welcoming atmosphere and for the...

There was a line when we arrived and another when we left, so this place is popular. The person in front of me actually came from Sacramento to stock up. She got 6 dozen buns in total, including roast pork, pineapple custard and green onion. She said she preordered the day before since she was getting so many. So, I had high expectations. I ordered 10 pineapple and roast pork buns and asked for 1 to be set aside so Mom and I could sample it in the store. It was delicious. Unfortunately, they were out of the other buns or else I may have gotten some more. Next time....
