Easily the best steamed pork bun in Auckland. Soft, fresh and fluffy dough. Freshly ground pork mince with the perfect blend of herbs and seasoning. No gristle or large chunks of fat. The temperature of the pork buns are kept at a heat warm enough that they don’t overcook and cool enough not to be scolding hot. In the pork bun is a very tasty fat which is just divine. I also had the steamed beef bun which doesn’t have the tasty fat, so that’s why the pork bun is my favourite. The shop very traditional in its décor and menus. There was nothing written in English. Thankfully, the person who served me could speak English. There were also full meals and Chinese drinks available. None of that mattered, just give me the pork buns!!! At $ 1.50 a pork bun, easily and without a doubt they are the absolute King of pork buns in Auckland! I order five and scoff them all down. Next time I go I’ll get some pork dumplings.

love this place. love how they did the menu on bamboo or wooden planks on hooks, once they run out they flip it. Like how they do it in the small street shops on china! sadly its only in chinese… BUT they do have an english menu! buns are a cheap eats for sure. you can spend $ 5 and walk out happy. They have lots of bun flavours(sweet or savoury) but my favourite is pork prawn vege bun, pickled vege pork bun, and vegetarian bun. The pastry is very fluffy and soft with a very slight sweetness. so hungry now that im thinking about it!

This place apparently made Metro’s top 100 cheap eats in Auckland, their prices are definitely great and their buns are amazing! The bread was soft and fluffy, while the filling/patty was flavourful! The menu on the wall was in Chinese so that was a little confusing for me, I had a friend who explained what everything was. I’m not sure if I saw an English menu in there.
