| - I came here one morning after dropping my fiancé off at work one Saturday morning. I've been off and on trying to find a delicious barbecue pork bun (cha siu bao) because it's certainly been a very long time. The last two delicious ones I can remember were from Chinatown in San Francisco and a delicious Asian supermarket back in Arlington, Texas (it's between Dallas and Fort Worth, but pretty much famous for the new Cowboys stadium).
After turning to Yelp, this place popped up and I saw it was open super early - score! I promptly got directions and off I went.
Drove west down Spring Mountain and to my dismay, missed it. If you're coming from the 15 South, it's on the left BEFORE the Bank of America on the right. There's a long strip mall of stuff, but if you turn in the right driveway it's literally in front of you. :)
Went in and it's such an adorable little shop. Everything is neatly organized, though it's a little too yellowy for me (I know, it's called Sunville - it doesn't mean I have to like the 1960's-esque yellow décor).
I found the pork buns and was excited to see how cheap they were but also a little sad to see they were not in the warmer. The ones I am used to are found in the glass warmer on the counter so when you bite into them there's just a lot of warm bun and pork feelings.
After also picking up a coconut tart, I checked out with cash in a prompt, friendly manner and left to go home. I didn't realize how hungry I was until I was already halfway through one pork bun while driving. While the bun itself is golden, fluffy and a great texture, it means little to nothing if the pork inside is lacking - and also lacking flavor.
When I got home, I heated up the other one to give it another shot. Same story, just warm this time. Hardly any meat and what was there was bland. I also got a piece of fat as large as the pieces of pork. Icky.
Coconut tart was the last one and I was excited to have something tasty. It looks so good! But...was also lacking flavor. It was pretty dry and essentially was a step-up from basic cornbread. The coconut was just on the top. I was expecting the coconut flavor to be throughout... Maybe this is how tarts are supposed to be? If so, that's lame.
I may or may not go again to try out their other goodies, but these two bland experiences kind of put me off from doing so for at least awhile.
