Well priced Chinese bakery! My spouse loves the pork buns here and I find myself trying something new every visit. FYI This place only takes cash

Nice little Chinese bakery. It's a long way from the best ones that I've visited, but they sell decent pork buns and the price is right (about 1.95 per baked item). Worth a quick stop for a snack if you're in the neighbourhood, walking by.
Tried multiple buns. The taste is good I think. However, it's not fresh. All of the buns I bought are dried out. I would like to buy again because the buns are good if in fresh and maybe I was unlucky this time. If they want to have more customers, they should think about that. Stale bread of course is not allowed in a bread store. BTW, not a good place to go in such a serious period. Everyone should touch the bread window and tong by themselves.
Said they only accepted cash, so we ordered via Tutti in the store (had to then call and say no delivery required) and then the shop staff said we take card just not tap. Staff barely spoke English. Finally got our roasted pork and soy sauce chicken with rice and a pineapple bun. When we opened it to eat the rice smelled and tasted old, and both meats were very hard and dried out. Hoped the pineapple bun would be better, but it too was so dried out I was ripping the outside edges off to eat the insides. The female staff was also not wearing a mask and kept coming over to us and just not socially distancing at all even though we were clearly trying (wearing masks, standing apart, etc.) Terrible experience all around.
Update 2020/08/13 they are open again Been around for longer then I have and still makes a great selection of Chinese bakery favourites in traditional fashion (no fusion here). Buns and cookies are amazing with the best bbq pork in town (sliced, on rice or in a steam bun). Only warning to you need to bring cash as they are still old school.
Overpriced, location is run down and feels unsanitary. Not recommended.
Always amazing bbq pork buns, simple and cheap.
Love this place
