I found out about this place from a coworker of mine who generously brought in a box of assorted buns to the office. I quickly became a fan and started going there regularly. They're sticky rice pork buns are great and the regular pork buns as well. I haven't tried everything there but so far Ive enjoyed what I have had. During the summertime they sell an iced tea with hibiscus and berries that's really good. They have bun options as well that you can take home and steam yourself. It's a very small place with some seating but I always take mine to-go. The employees are extremely friendly and the establishment is always clean and organized. I come here often and I know some of my co-workers do as well. Its very affordable. I've even seen this place featured from influencers on Instagram and it's well worth a visit.

They lost the roasted pork bun title. Not the same as when they first opened. Their lotus leaf sticky rice w/pork was a huge disappointment. For 4.25 each they could do much better.

The pineapple bun looked good with a nice golden crust, but the baking was not done properly. Right under the crunchy top, the dough was still raw and sticky, almost like chewing on uncooked flour paste. A proper pineapple bun should be fully baked inside — soft and fluffy, not like this!

This is a review for the one that just opened up on Kissena Blvd since I can't seem to write one for it since Google maps have a review for this location yet. Went to the new bakery by me on Kissena Blvd and Horace Harding near the Dunkin Donuts and right in front of the Q25/34 bus stop where Regina Pizzeria used to be, Grandpa Chen Char Sui Bao. It's the same name bakery as the one in Little Neck on Northern Blvd . They open at 7 am I think they close at 6 pm. The buy one Char Sui Bao sale has been extended to Sunday 1/12/25. It only applies the the regular , pineapple topped char sui bun and I think it includes the regular pineapple bun too with nothing inside . They also sell steamed big buns, sausage buns, etc. plus, many bakery cookies , pineapple cakes etc . The bun itself is tasty, comes out warm . There is a decent amount of filling . The taste of the char sui inside the bun is not too sweet but a bit lacking in that authentic "char sui" flavor for me since I am used to that OG flavor growing up. The prices seem reasonable $2.95 for the pineapple char sui bao, $2.50 for the regular char sui bun and $1.95 for the hom su gok, fried item with meat inside. Many streamed buns
