| - As a disclaimer, I would have given this place 5 stars if I had not recently come back from a trip to LA where these bakeries are a dime a dozen. Needless to say, I was extremely excited to see that this bakery had opened and was very happy with the results. We had cha siu bao, which was very good. The bun was spot on in my opinion, and the filing was almost right. We also had both types of custard buns, the smooth one and the crusty one, which were also very tasty. In addition, I had the wonton noodle soup, which was pretty good. The broth needed a little more flavor, but the wontons themselves were nice and had a good shrimpy flavor to them. My husband had the porkchop in pepper sauce, which was a little different from the usual dish you would find ina hongkong cafe, but the sauce was good.
All in all, this place is not the best I've ever been to but it is comparable to the asian bakeries you would find in LA. It really does fill a void when you are feeling homesick :)
