Pineapple King Bakery - San Francisco

The Best Restaurants In The Sunset - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"This Chinese bakery is a go-to spot for pineapple buns—soft, airy rolls that don’t actually contain any of the tropical fruit (they get their name from the pineapple-looking pattern that forms on the sugary, buttery top after they’re baked). The buns are sliced in half before a slab of butter is wedged inside (guava butter is also an option). Sweet and savory filling options include black sesame custard, barbecue pork, and curry beef. The one with purple yam is a must-order." - Julia Chen 1, Lani Conway, Will Kamensky, Tamara Palmer, Ricky Rodriguez
