These streets were old when I was young and first walked upon them. Streets here had such cool names. We walked to Fulton St or Clement St depending on what bus we needed to take. My mom flew my brother and I up to visit our aunt during winter break. So cold. I had never been so cold before and I got sick. Living in San Diego I had never been exposed to temperature extremes before. Still the vacation was awesome. There were awesome sights to see such as the Golden Gate Park and Seal Rocks and delicious Chinese food to eat. Better than any found in San Diego.
Cheap!. BBBQ Pork Buns- $.90 each. Yummy.
Egg Custard Tarts fresh out the oven- $.70 each.
Pineapple Buns- $.50 each.
I got there around noon on a weekday afternoon and parking was easy and there was only one other person in the bakery. I had to wait 10 minutes to get the egg tarts, but that was no problem since they were fresh out of the oven. The young man behind the counter was very nice and even knocked off $.20 to make my order an even $9. $9 for (6) BBQ pork buns, (4) egg tarts, and (2) pineapple buns. Awesome. The BBQ pork buns are filled more than I like, but some like more. The pineapple buns were warm and chewy good. The tarts were fresh, and pleasantly flaky!
Affordable prices. I will come back and try egg tarts + pork bun here. Cozy place elders. You can sit inside and play Chinese chess. Multiple choice for cakes. Friendly staffs
The egg tarts were SO GOOD! I bought two, one for me and one for my boyfriend…but I ate both myself ;)
Tip: come early! I came here around 1pm on a Saturday and almost everything was gone. Luckily I got the egg tarts.
My go to for baked bbq pork buns and egg custard tarts. Their other items are pretty good also, but the pork buns and custard tarts are awesome.
The clerks are always friendly to me, even when there's the usual line.

Got a few custard tarts and BBQ pork buns to go.
The custard tarts were very tasty. Lots of filling and flaky crust!
The pork buns were good with a generous amount of filling. I found something a little different in the dough. Maybe some coconut flavor?!? Couldn't pinpoint the exact ingredient. Not sure if I liked the coconut.
Anytime I’m in the area I always stop by for city’s best bbq pork buns! The egg tarts are pretty good too, along with the fantastic curry puffs, sponge puffy bread, and red bean pineapple buns!
Don't let this outpost location keep you away from Lung Fung Bakery. So many tasty treats. We arrived just as a fresh batch of hot and delicious pork buns were out of the oven. The curry turnovers, the ever so fluffy sponge cakes are also big hits. I went all in on my tasting tour with my nose, eyes and taste buds. The ham and corn bun...delicious, the green onions bun fabulous. The price are very affordable.
Came here after hiking at the Marin Headlands. Since I was in the area, I decided to pass by and get some Chinese baked goods. And I'm glad I did. There were many choices and all of them looked equally appetizing. Decided to order the essentials - bbq pork bun, hotdog bun, spam and egg bun, curry bun and, of course, egg custard. I had to wait for about 10 minutes because they were out of the custards. The wait made it sooo difficult not to start eating the bbq pork bun. It was warm and pillowy-soft and the bbq pork had the right amount of sweetness to it. It. Was. Good. The egg custard came out of the oven flaky and warm and satisfying. The prices were very reasonable IMO. Plus, parking wasn't difficult at all. (P.S.: I'm writing this review in the car while I'm eating the bun and custard. Lol.)
My only negative comment - no pink boxes.
Best cha siu baos around ... the dough isn't too doughy and the inside has the perfect ratio of gravy to cha siu. Most of the time we get it, not too many fast pieces we have to spit out. This has been our favorite for several years. The Don tats are very good. The price point is way better than Chinatown. I would definitely come here is I needed don tats n baos.
Hands down the best char siu bun, onion bun and egg tart! They keep it warm behind the counter so all was really fresh, plus not much of a line as GLD or Mong Kok, def worth a visit!
edit: they are starting to put fat in the bun's meat..
Hidden gem, always fresh, best Danta, beats Chinatown famous places, hands down! Ladies are nice, items come from right off the baking pans in the back. And looks like many have won lotteries here!
