Chinese Bakery & Deli — Restaurant in San Leandro

Anytime I see a "Chinese Bakery" that serves any kind of savory treats, especially dim sum, I always make the time to check it out. This nondescript bakery, in "Manor Square" a mall in San Leandro, did not really impress, but it's didn't really disappoint either. One thing I noticed is that a lot of the "dim sum" looks the same, because it has the same lightly baked golden brown bun around it. But it doesn't taste the same! I got the classic BBQ pork bun, the "Five flavor burger" and the "Chicken Bow", and for dessert the classic sweet bean ball with chewy texture. all four items cost about $3.86 While I tore off most of the bun, (too much bread for my taste) it did occur to me that for even $2 someone can go here and get enough to not go hungry that day, so for cheap eats this place is great.

I am told they have more available that I did not get to try, because they were sold out. My photo is on the dash of my car, (Sorry. Bag tore and I had no plate) but you will get a basic idea of the things I got, and the buns they come in. (That really didn't...

I went to the bakery yesterday around 2 pm because i was craving for some pork buns. It satisfied the taste but i have been to better tasting bakeries with the same foods. The appearance of the bakery is plain and normal. Kind of run down because the furnishings are old. The tables and chairs are put away. Im assuming because of covid. There was one person working the cash register and almost the whole counter was blocked off by plastic. Again. I think covid just makes things look a little bit more ugly. The service was quick and easy. The restaurant does take cards with a $10 min. So i had to buy more than one item. I tried the pork buns and it was very flavorful. They had a decent amount of filling in there. I did not feel like my money was wasted. Then i tried the cream puffs ones and the breading was a little stale and there were soooo much cream. I could not eat all of the cream. Again the portions are worth it. But the quality is okay. The...

Pineapple Bun with Butter is a MUST try here! I have been searching for pineapple bun with butter in Bay Area for years! Either can’t find it in bakery or the quality is terrible. But this one, you definitely should come and wouldn’t regret. As a person spent 8 years live in Hong Kong, I am very picky on this tastes of pineapple bun and milk tea. Pineapple should be crispy for the outside and milk tea should have more Ceylon tea smell. This bakery makes those correctly! What makes this Bakery a bonus is they have dim sum. Especially if you live around this area, order bakeries and dim sum will make your day. Highly recommended for this Pineapple Bun with butter...
