"This old-school Chinese bakery in Uptown serves excellent pastries, including an unmissable egg tart. Sweet baked bun with a crackly golden crust, filled with 3LP's Cantonese-style BBQ pork Puff pastry shell filled with egg custard with a caramelized top Ground pork and shrimp dumplings wrapped in wonton skins, topped with roe (three wontons per order) Chilled black tea blended with evaporated milk" - team infatuation
"The other location of this old-school Chinese bakery is in Chinatown, and we’re really glad there’s one on the North Side. This place is fantastic, and you can’t go wrong with anything from their pastry case. They have incredible pork buns, sponge cakes, sesame balls, egg custards, and much more. Everything is made fresh daily, and there are plenty of tables inside, too. Just plan ahead it’s cash-only." - adrian kane, courtney sprewer, veda kilaru, john ringor
"Chiu Quon in Chinatown isn’t just one of our favorite bakeries in the city—we also have it on our best restaurants in Chicago list, as wildly controversial as it may be for a bakery to be there. You can’t go wrong with anything from their pastry case, like the incredible pork buns, sponge cakes, or sesame balls. The pork buns get a couple of close-ups in the season three montage, a glaring sign you should get one when you visit." - adrian kane, nick allen
"This cash-only bakery has been in Chinatown for over 40 years, and there is no better place in the city for soft and fluffy baked BBQ pork buns, sesame balls, and egg tarts with flaky crusts that will stick to your lips and embarrass you if you don’t check the mirror after inhaling one. The sponge cakes are airy, and the strawberry version is the perfect balance of just sweet enough without being cloying. Everything is made fresh daily, and anything from the pastry case is well worth the hassle of stopping at an ATM." - veda kilaru, john ringor
"Chinatown’s oldest bakery is part of the Season 3, Episode 1 montage." - Ashok Selvam
