Food is not mind blowing but satisfying and tasty, with the overall price making it 4 stars. Mashion and dingdong on spadina are fair competition but I like this Chinese bakery because it is the closer one to me when I am downtown. Got 2 xiaobaos and a box full of miscellaneous pastries for less than $5, what more could you want. Make sure you take advantage of their buy 2 for $1 pastries - my fave is the glutinous fried pork dumpling. Love coming here on a Saturday morning as it's not only made fresh and served warm but very much reminds me of my childhood! If you are looking for something healthy to snack on, obviously you will not find it at this Chinese bakery or any Chinese bakery to begin with. My only qualm is the triangle pastries filled with chasiu /curry have too much pastry to filling ratio. I wouldn't get those.
For special event orders like cakes I would maybe go to mashion, but I don't really like Chinese cakes anymore and haven't tried theirs so I can't say for sure. They just seem to specialize in those more.
