| - This place is a nice addition to the Madison Chinese food scene. I've been coming here since they first opened and I'm glad they have been making steady improvements since they opened. Their selection of buns are pretty good, though I'm not a fan of sweets, so the only items I get from the bakery side is BBQ pork buns, the BBQ pork turnovers, fried bread stick and egg tarts. The BBQ pork bun doesn't have enough filling in them, the flavors are good, but the lack of filling prevents me from ordering them as much as I would like. The BBQ pork turnovers are nice and flakey on the outside, but again, the amount of pork filling is a bit sad, and they are definitely one of the most expensive items in the bakery, especially if you consider the price to food ratio. The fried bread stick is decent, though it's something that's virtually impossible to screw up. I am disappointed that they are cold. The egg tarts are very good, both the regular and macau style ones.
The rest of their menu offerings are priced very reasonably. The portions are fairly large. They have remedied the bland-ness of their broths, so that was nice. The wonton soup has wontons with whole shrimp in them and the flavors are good. I usually get thousand year egg and fish congee with a side of pan fried dumplings. It's definitely a good deal for something like $6.50. They've recently added taro cake and radish cakes to their menu, I've only tried the radish cakes. They're ok, a bit greasy and some days are prepared better than others.
