Long’s Family Pastry

Came early in the morning and grabbed a couple of my favorite BBQ buns and a few dim sum. Everything was delicious.

Amazing Baked BBQ Pork buns. Will be coming back to try their other items next time I’m in the area!

The lines are along very long. The food is very cheap. Can go along with the steam buns or bow buns. Sponge cake is very amazing. The mango sticky rice is superb. It’s best to get there early, but always fresh.

First time coming here and it will definitely not the last time. The workers are very helpful. Prices are reasonable and the quality of their food are A+++. Here’s what we ordered and don’t forget to asked for utensils, soy sauce and hot sauce ☺️ chicken bun (so much filling) Lo Mai Gai (really good) sweet rice cake 🤤 leek cake 🔥 bbq pork rice rolls 🔥 pork siomai🔥🔥🔥 (definitely needed to order more because it warms up good for the following day) shrimp dumplings🔥🔥🔥 egg rolls🔥🔥🔥 hubs approved sesame balls 🤤 baked hotdog bun (my 11 yrs old love it) Definitely need to comeback for the porridge because they ran out of it by the time we got there.

Long's Family Pastry has been around for a couple of decades, possibly longer. I'm rarely on this side of Chinatown or venture south of Broadway so I forgot about the bakery until I ate at ABC & CBS Seafood. Unlike the other 2 more popular bakeries (Queen's & Phoenix) on the main street, this bakery serves dim sum that's affordable & tasty, even with the rising prices of dim sum in the restaurants. Located on Spring St. near Ord St., the hole-in-the-wall bakery gets especially busy on weekends & Chinese holidays with a long line that extends out the door. It's a no frills with cheap eats & I usually stop by to bag a box or 2 of goodies when I'm in the area. I remembered walking a block over from my dad's restaurant to pick-up some cheap dim sum (25¢ - 50¢) & bringing it back to work on my homework while noshing; thereafter he said I could grab something from the kitchen & stopped coming during my youth. LFP has something that I couldn't find for years when I started having cravings for 砵仔糕 (put chai ko); they're called almond rice cake here. It's a Cantonese steamed snack cake that originated in 臺山 (Taishan) which is near Hong Kong. I can't remember if it was a family friend (aka uncle; we call everyone uncle or auntie even if we're not related as a sign of respect) or my actual uncle who introduced me to this pudding cake. Another fav is their cake rolls... I used to prefer QB's vanilla roll but their rolls have gotten skimpy & smaller over the years; I get almost twice the size for the same price here. The pandan is kinda like the vanilla roll but with a hint of floral coconut; the sponge cake isn't as soft as QB's, but good enough in my book. Their custard egg tarts are big & flaky -- cheap -- that I usually skip the restaurant's & get them here for my snacking pleasure later. I liked the earlier egg tarts (pre-cv pandemic) with a thinner crust & more custard, now it's thicker & seemingly smaller. I used to like their 腸粉 (cheung fun) but the execution is off, a bit thicker than before & sometimes gummy from condensation. My kids loved all the sweet buns, cakes, & rolls. My husband likes the steamed & baked baos; they're great for snacking when he's at work or home. His current thing is the egg snow bun, a variation of the bbq pork bun. If you're a fan of moon cakes, you can get a select variety here all year long. Long's Family Pastry is my last stop before heading home, so the line is nonexistent or short. While they accept credit cards (& doesn't charge a service fee for using one), there's a minimum but I can't remember. Maybe $10? I don't need to worry about it since my order is typically double that. While I wouldn't go out of my way, I definitely stop in whenever I'm in Chinatown... come to Long's for cheap dim sum eats! 好吃! Recommended: Almond Rice Cake (my childhood/adulthood fav), Baked Hot Dog Bun (my daughter's fav), Baked BBQ Pork Bun, Baked Pineapple Bun (my son's fav), BBQ Pork Rice Roll, Chinese Donut/You Tiago (you may need a paper towel to mop up some of the oil especially if it's just fried), Cream Bun, Cream Sponge Cake, Cupcake (one of my other childhood favs), Custard Egg Tart, Egg Snow Bun, Egg Tart, Pandan Cake Roll (love this!), Rice Cake.

Place I never skip whenever I go to Chinatown in DTLA. It's my go-to for the best pork siomai and baked snow roll. My favorites include the rice cake, custard egg tart, and veggie egg rolls. Service is fast. I was surprised that there wasn't a long line today. There is usually a line here.

This is the first time I’ve visited this particular dim sum spot, it’s a cute store front with tons of options especially, moon cakes. The only down side during this visit was that the sit-down area was closed, to-go orders only and I wasn’t in the mood to eat in the car but I also didn’t want to pass up the opportunity to try a new spot. I ordered 3 items; shumai, leek cake and sweet bun! The ingredients seem to be better than that of its competition Won kok, the prices are also reasonable. Can’t wait to come back when I am able to sit and enjoy my meal….

One of my pit stops when I pass by Chinatown. Get your dimsum to go, in and out. You don't come here for service, you come here for cheap comfort food and speed. Cash is preferred, after the pandemic they now accept credit cards with a $10 minimum order. Recommendations: special chicken bao, pork shumai, bbq pork rice roll, bbq pork bun, hom gok, and sesame balls.

My favorite bakery in Chinatown! Everything tastes so good here and the price is decent. Service is friendly and quick (allows me to use reusable containers for my pastries). They have a wide range of pastries, both sweet and savory, and even have milk teas/iced teas in their fridge by the entrance. This spot doesn't have seating so you grab your food to go. My favorites are their chive patties, baked BBQ pork buns, and BBQ pork cookies.

This has been our weekly or semi monthly stop on our way to Pasadena to visit family. I recently discovered their egg snow buns which have char siu on the inside, and a sweet bun like exterior. After ordering one, I wish I had tried them sooner. My husband likes their curry pork pastry and today they were fresh out of the kitchen. He was a happy camper after eating a couple of them in the car. Service is always nice and lines move quickly.

I will absolutely be back here for the shumai. They're $1 each and so good I basically inhaled them. I ordered 20 and somehow they were gone in one day. I tried some of the other pastries too. They were good, just not really my preference since I'm not big on heavy breading. That said, the quality is there and everything is super affordable. This is a great spot if you want something quick that you can take home and eat later. Cheap, easy, and solid. You won't regret stopping by.

Small mom and pop shop with a line every morning, but the ladies at Long's family pastry are quick with the customer service so you do not have to wait too long! Would recommend checking out the menu while you wait. Baos and dim sum are hot and ready. We got an order of har gow, pineapple bun, and baked bbq pork bun. Dumplings are huge and you can order by the piece. The pineapple bun was a bit dense, but perfect for a quick snack. Parking is street parking only, but if you come early enough, parking is not an issue. Restaurant is a casual vibe. You get in and get out. Heads up: minimum of $10 if you want to use your card to pay.

I'm late to knowing of Long's Family Pastry's popularity for takeout in the area, having long been Won Kok patrons in our family. The items at Long's are hit-or-miss. I really enjoy their pineapple buns (bolo bao) and this is what I've been coming for consistently in the last year. Their dough used to bake the buns comes out very soft and reheats well in the microwave (15-20 seconds). Their fried sesame balls and white sugar rice cake are pretty good, too. My family and relatives also enjoy their baked BBQ pork buns, hot dog buns and shumai. I can't testify about those because I don't eat pork. The item they seem to sell out quickly every day is the pork and preserved duck egg congee. The items I have ordered and did not enjoy as much include the pineapple custard buns (didn't like custard texture), cocktail bun (too sweet), plain baked bun (dry), hargow (steamed shrimp dumpling-skin too thick) and mochi covered with coconut (just not great). They are very popular and sometimes the line runs really long and slow, the latter of which is usually due to someone placing a very large order of a variety of items. In the morning, they have a tray in corner of the store with the day-old items (refrigerated overnight) sold in large bags for $2. There's a LOT inside those bags--perhaps 4-6 different buns.

To me, this place has the best char siu bao / roasted pork buns! It's always a crowd favorite. They also have: Egg tart Rice cakes Har gao Siu Mai Custard buns And a lot more! Rush here!

My family and I have been coming to Long's for many years when in the Chinatown area. Their baked goods and large selection of dim sum is both fairly priced and tasty! This round, we had ordered sesame balls, pork baos, shu mai, and the hot dog bun. I think the pork baos are a definite stand out, with the meat being very juicy and fresh! The sesame balls are also huge and crispy when eaten right away. I will say the one downside is there is no seating in the store, and parking nearby is around 7+ dollars depending on which lot you choose to park in.

I stopped by Long's Family Bakery in Chinatown during Lunar New Year to pick up treats for my colleagues, and it did not disappoint!. Parking on the street or in the lot next to it. They no longer have the couple of tables inside, so it's strictly grab and go now. They're still known for their incredibly fast service. If you're planning to place a large order like I did a few dozen of several items, I highly recommend calling ahead so everything is ready for pickup. It makes the process smooth and stress free, especially during busy holiday times. The food quality is still just as good as ever, and the pricing remains very reasonable. My absolute favorites are the shu mai, sweet rice cakes, BBQ pork buns (both baked and steamed), and the sesame balls. Must get the dozen almond cookies! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfect for sharing to celebrate the Lunar New Year. My colleagues loved the spread, and it made for a festive and delicious celebration. I'll definitely be back soon!

Family dim sum/Family Bakery as I'd known it since way back when is a Chinatown staple. It's been there before my time in Los Angeles. Located on Spring across from the parking lot for CBS. To me, both places went hand in hand. We recently picked up some dim sum on a Sunday afternoon. My lady got several orders of baked bbq pork buns, siu mai and egg tarts. The bbq pork buns are great. They are on the larger side and are colored a fiery orange-red that cant be mistaken. Tasty char siu filling and makes for a perfect snack... The siu mai are a decent size and were tasty as well. Good pork & shrimp flavors. You can never go wrong with siu mai from Family. The egg tarts were good too. Nice flaky crust and good, smooth filling. Service was quick & friendly. It was busy being that it was a weekend. This place is a classic Chinatown take-out dim sum spot. Street parking only. Check the signs. Feed your meter.

Delicious and affordable. My ranking of favorites: 1) Ham Gok - crispy without being oily and soft chewy inside 2) Egg Tart/Dan Tat - smooth and silky, perfect flaky crust 3) Baked BBQ Pork Bun - Classic, generous amount of filling 4) Lo Mai Gai - great balance of flavors and texture 5) Har Gow 6) Shu mai 7) Sesame Ball 8) Coconut Cream Bun 9) Eggroll 10) Steamed BBQ Pork Bun They have a $10 minimum for credit card purchases. I prefer this spot to Won Kok down the street. I think the steamed items here (har gow, shu mai, bbq pork bun) are much better. Service is quick and efficient. I came on a Saturday morning, and there was a slight wait, but nothing crazy. I can't wait to try more items!

Food: 3.5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Value: 4/5 I was craving for shui mai and didn't want to eat full blown dim sum so found this place selling them early in morning. Parking was plenty since it's in the morning. Ordered bbq pork bun and shui mai. Bbq pork bun look weird with red coloring on top but decided to give it a try anyway. Despite the look, it tasted textbook. Right amount of dough and meat. Shui Mai was $1 each. It's meaty and gets the job done. I only wish they have good hot sauce like sriracha or fried chili. Overall, just because they open early and good value, they deserve 4 stars from me. I would repeat.

I found Long's Family Pastry on Yelp when looking for some dim sum during a quick trip to LA! They are carry out only, and you can order most items by the piece. This made it nice for just two people, because we could control how much we wanted (although our eyes were still bigger than our stomach!). We ordered har gow (4), shu mai (4), roasted pork cheung fun (2), radish (1) cake, their "special chicken" bao (2), a custard bun, and two curry pork "cookies". I think all of that was only $26 which was crazy for the amount of food we got! Everything was really fresh and you could see the dumplings going into huge trays of steamers. We ended up having to go back to our car to eat because there wasn't seating inside or in the surrounding area, so keep that in mind!

Always a pleasure to visit this popular bakery right across from the Mama Lu's dumpling house. Pastries here are super popular because they're actually all delicious. Prices have gone up a little bit from the past, but are generally about $1.50 per item. They also serve congee (rice porridge) available with preserved duck egg. And they have a moderate assortment of different steamed and baked dim sum. Their Chinese tamales (zhong zhi) are very tasty and filling. my favorites here have always been the almond and walnut cookies which over the years seem to still have a little bit of lard added to ensure their flakiness and proper texture. They also make custom cakes to order. And can assemble catering size orders in advance for pick up. This tiny shop is relatively busy, especially during the lunch hours, but they do their best to get you in and out within a few minutes. Credit cards are accepted for amounts above $10 per order. And everything has a homemade taste compared with the larger franchise Chinese bakeries around. The savory pastries here are really great for a quick grab and go lunch. Inside there is no seating, no Wi-Fi, and no place to actually eat. This is simply a service bakery doing what it's best at, making really great treats. And I doubt there's anything gluten-free on site. And they do have moon cakes, which are seasonal.

I'm a bit torn about Long's Family Pastry. I would say it's more like 3.5 stars. Half the stuff we got, which were the items you find in or on top of the display cases were cold/room temp. You really need to reheat this stuff at home for it to taste its best. The steamed items (i.e. Ha Gao, Pork Shumai, Lo Mai Gai, and Special Chicken Bun) come out hot and they were good, nothing amazing though. The food that came out cold/room temp (i.e. Ham Gok, Hot Dog Bun, BBQ Pork Rice Roll, and Leek Cake) wasn't bad, it tasted fresh in a sense that you can tell it was made the same day. Prices are per item/piece. Prices are okay. Some were too pricey for what it was and some were priced okay compared to other places. I also got a box of their almond cookies ($4.20) and it was just okay. I didn't like that they were soft and chewy in texture. I've never had Cantonese almond cookies that werent crispy. Service was quick and friendly. I love that this is a Cantonese establishment. They do speak English and everything has labels with English on it to make ordering easier for those who can't speak Cantonese. Parking here sucks. It's Chinatown, I get it. But for the price, lack of parking, and the items not piping hot, I don't think it's worth going out of your way here. But if you're a local, I can see how this place could be a regular thing. I just wasn't impressed by any one thing where I would come here again.

Long's Family Pastry is an excellent place to grab dim sum to go. They have the best prices and everything is super fresh. The har gow here is pretty good and they have some of the best egg tarts. They're huge, soft, with a slight crisp and chew. Yummy. This place is much better than Won Kok. Happy eating!

This bakery has been around for the longest time, since my parents moved to Los Angeles. Ever since I was a kid, I remember playing on the sidewalk, as we got in line for the freshest banh baos and pastries. I haven't been back since I was a teenager, and my mom recently requested visiting once again. I drove over an hour with my family to come grab a pork bbq bao. Needless to say, the exterior and interior are exactly the same. We bought half a dozen baos, some sponge cake, and pastries. We reminisced, but as life can be, we've also realized how we've moved on and aged. The memories were brilliant and the food was full of love. Thank you for still existing!! See you again, soon.

Cheap and delicious dim sum. What's not to like? This is a take out place so be prepared to grab and go. We ordered the custard egg tart, sticky chicken rice, turnip cake, rice noodles, baked BBQ pork bun, har gow and shu mai. The portions are HUGE so please be warned, although it never hurt anyone to order more. Each item was delicious and you can't go wrong. The line can get long but it goes fairly quickly. Interior is also a bit small, but understandable with the need of a large kitchen to prepare all the different offerings. Parking in Chinatown is always a challenge and you may need to download the LA City Parking App, depending on where you park. Definitely will come back for cheat delicious eats!

Love me some Hong Kong style dim sum and bakery! Long's Family Pastry is located in the LA Chinatown. There's ample metered street parking on a Friday morning, and I was able to get away with not paying for just a grab and go situation. Card is only accepted for over $10 purchases. As a Hong Konger, I found a lot of the items to be unappealing because of the food coloring. So I only opted to try the bbq pork rice roll and some cocktail buns. The rice roll was alright, definitely not gourmet quality, but still a great value considering it was $2.10 each. The char siu had a lot of flavor but the rice noodle was just a little bit thicker than I liked it to be. The cocktail buns tasted fresh although some of them only had filling on the side. I would probably get it again if I was ever in the area.

Special Chicken Bun!! Long's Family Pastry is a gem in Chinatown. They have a variety of buns and dim sum at low prices with high quality ingredients and fillings. My friend introduced me to their Special Chicken Buns and I've never seen one so huge! For $2.30 each, it's a great deal since there's tons of fillings inside - hard boiled egg, char sui, Chinese sausage, and ground chicken. I also tried their Ham Gok which was also delicious, though a bit greasy. The line can be long, but it moves quickly. Definitely check this place out if you're in the area. I parked in a nearby lot for $5 before 8AM. I paid through the ParkUp app at 211 Alpine St.

I don't usually go here for my pastries, but it's good to try a new place and have options. I love that they open 7am. My favorite here is the egg tart and their custard buns.

Excellent Chinese bakery. This is the place to come for when you want traditional mooncakes! It's also great for fresh dim sum, baked pork buns and miscellaneous Chinese pastries. I also love their milk teas. My one complaint is that parking is very cramped and there is no direct access from the parking lot to the shop. Minor inconvenience for cheap, delicious Chinese bakery goodies.

I have yet to have a pastry I haven't enjoyed. The bbq pork buns are large and generously stuffed, also as fresh as can be. I would also recommend the dim sum, curry pie, and sesame balls. The key is to get there early when they open at 7am.

Amazing baked pork buns, will come back to try their other items. Clean and organized inside

One of my favorite spots in all of Chinatown. Long's Family Pastry serves dim sum to-go at really affordable prices. Their menu is extensive as they have practically everything you could imagine related to dim sum. I also think they are one of the only places in Chinatown that serves fresh pineapple buns. There are no tables -- just grab and go. Service is always really fast. They take credit card over a certain amount (I think $10). Most of the popular dim sum items are around $1 a piece. Pastries are around $1.50. Some of my favorite items were the egg tarts and joong (sticky rice or Chinese tamale). When I am in the area I will always try to make it here!

The legendary lost family pastry. Everything is so good. the chicken buns, bbq pork buns. All there dim sum goodies no one should missed this jewl of Chinatown

I used to come here as a kid during trips on the weekend to Chinatown. It's been over a decade, but I recently rediscovered this bakery. It is still sooo good and such a great value. It is definitely more popular now with a line out the door sometimes. Must haves are the baked char siu buns ($1.75), pineapple buns ($1.30) and custard buns ($1.55). I haven't tried the snow skin buns, but they're definitely on my list for next time. Char siu buns are one of the best I have had; flavor of the filling is on point and the bun is perfect crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside. I also like to pick up some almond cake ($0.90) and rice cakes ($1.10). These are a bit too sweet. I have had better of these elsewhere, but they are a rare find in SoCal, and these are good enough to satisfy the craving. Street parking with a pay meter or if you're quick to run in and out, you can probably get away with parking for free at the parking lot for Mama Lu's restaurant across the street. Card is accepted here on purchases over $10. Friendly and quick service! They are always willing to accommodate when I need things packed separately (I usually get 3-4 boxes of pastries to share with friends and family). I wish we had one of these bakeries closer to OC!

Quick service, friendly staff, and there's rarely ever a wait. I think this is one of the better to-go dim sum options in Chinatown. The process is quick and simple: order, grab your food, and leave. There's no seating and the space inside is small, but being indoors means you don't have to deal with the sun while (shortly) waiting. Prices are good so is the quality of the food. Overall probably my favorite spot in this part of LA.

This place offers a wide variety of delicious pastries and dim sum. We ordered 3 orders of shiu mai, shrimp hagau, 3 steam buns, one egg tart, one coconut custard bun, 1 Chinese fried donut, 5 sesame balls, and 1 Thai iced tea. I think that was it and it all costed around $30. There is a $10 minimum for using a credit card. Everything we had was very good and fresh. They ran out of the pork steamed buns though. When we got there, they only had the speciality steamed buns with egg, chicken, and Chinese sausage. The Thai tea was already made and packed, and it was on the sweeter side but still good. Overall, we are happy to have found this place and plan on stocking up on some delicious pastries and dim sum when we visit LA China Town.

Flavorful dim-sum! Quick and super cheap! My favorite was the turnip cake. The egg tart ratio was a tad off but still good!

Unfortunately this was a "miss" for me. We got har gow, sui mai, bbq rice roll, bbq pork bun and custard bun The bbq pork bun was good. Dim sum was ok. The custard bun was dry and the custard was grainy. I'm used to creamy custard in the bun when buying from from dim sum places

This has been the best Dim Sum spot I have ever ordered from! I normally order from a different location but I wanted to try something new. I am glad I did because this place will now be my new go to spot! I like to buy treats to share with my coworkers. This time I bought the Shumai, Ha Gow, Baked BBQ Pork Bun and Baked Hot Fog Bun. All the items were fresh and super delicious! I highly recommend this location for your next Dim Sum craving!

I regularly visit this bakery to get baked goods for workplace parties. They offer a variety of dim sum and bakery items at reasonable prices. Although metered street parking is available, the wait is typically short once inside the bakery. I recommend visiting this bakery when visiting Chinatown.

We were visiting Chinatown in LA and Long's Family Pastry was one of our destinations. It's a cute little bakery with all sorts of Chinese pastries and desserts. We specifically came to try their egg tarts and also got a curry puff to try. The egg tarts were good but weren't as silky as I would have liked. However, the outer pastry crust was buttery and fluffy. The curry puff wasn't bad but the curry flavor wasn't too flavorful.

I needed to pick up a quick breakfast and Long's Family Pastry was one of the few places open at 7 AM in the morning. Also, a lot of parking meter don't start until 8 in the morning so this worked out for free parking. When I arrived, there was a couple of people a head of me in line but the line went quickly. I picked up a couple of items. I got sui mai, coconut cream bun, and baked bbq pork bun. The sui mai was charge per piece. Everything I ordered came out to less than five bucks. This was such a good deal. I love the coconut cream bun. I wish I had this closer to my house so I can pick up all these yummy eats before work. This place has a lot of options. They have your savory and sweet options. Everything was fresh early in the morning. Overall, check this place out if you are cravings for a quick and fast Chinese bake goods. I would be back whenever I am in the area.

I ordered sesame balls, snow buns, rice noodle (chang fen), and chicken sticky rice. All very good except the char siu snow buns are a bit too sweet for us. I'll definitely come back to try other things.

Pro tip: don't be afraid to use the yellow parking out front, especially the one without the meter! Always good, hot, and fresh. They have baked goods and dim sum. The go-to's are: 1) dai bao (big bun) 2) har gow (shrimp dumplings) 3) siu mai (pork dumps, may contain a little shrimp or shrimp paste) 4) hom sui gok (fried glutinous rice with ground pork, spices and veggies....SO GOOD!) 5) Jian dui: pronounced "jin doy" which is a sweet paste like red bean, lotus bean, mung bean, black sesame, etc) in a fried sesame ball. Just get it! 6) Dan tat: pronounced "don tot" these are small egg custard tarts. If they have burned sugar on top, that's Macau style. Tasty, and best when the pastry is flaky I'll leave the rest for you to explore! Pro-tip #2: as you enter, look at the table to your left on the other side of the cooler. There are assorted bagged goodies for $2 each! Beggars can't be choosers!

This place is better than it looks. I initially found the orange shade (instead of more traditional light brown) of the pineapple buns to be off-putting, but the texture and taste of the bread is actually very good. The bread is flavorful and doughy enough, not like some other places where the bread is too airy with no substance or taste. The dim sum is also surprisingly good. I typically find take-out only cheap dim sum to be far below restaurant quality. However, the dim sum here was definitely not just take-out quality. I wonder if they source it from the same manufacturers the big restaurants do, or if they make their own. I ate in the car on the way out for a road trip, so everything was fresh and warm without needing to be reheated. Forks and napkins were provided.

I've been to Long's Family pastry a few times. They have an array of dim sum for pick up. I usually to pick up baked pork buns or custard. There's an constant stream of customers, so move fast and be decisive with your order. The ladies at the counter, don't have patience for you to ponder! I took home a decent size order. 10 har gow, 10 sui mai, 6 baked pork buns, 2 chicken rice and 6 egg tarts. The total was a few dollars from $50. I didn't think it was too expensive given for the order. I don't know the breakdown. When I asked for the total, the lady a bunch of punched in the calculator and gave me a total. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the food. The worst offender being the har gow. The skin was far too thick and part of the rice dough was still raw. Though it didn't blow me away, I'll still come back for their baked goods.

I always order the baked char sui buns, har gow, shui mai. The flavors are pretty good. They always run out of congee by the time I arrive. The prices are so unbelievable inexpensive! And my only complaint is the homeless guy that sits in front and demands money to watch my car...I feel like I need to pay him something or he would vandalize my car - and this in the broad daylight!

The buns are great here! Very affordable option for morning baked goods. Very friendly ownership and staff. Classic and nostalgic vibes at this timeless gem in DTLA Chinatown.

This review is actually super overdue because ever since I stumbled upon this bakery in 2021 I always make sure to stop by whenever I'm in LA. I'm so happy they've stuck around and hope they stay for more years to come. They sell out of a lot of things FAST. Because of how busy they are, mostly everything is fresh. The bbq pork (char siu) buns are heavenly and their pork and shrimp shumai actually has me by the chokehold. They're so plump and juicy it's hard not to inhale the entire box in one sitting LOL. Zongzi is delicious and super filling, custard buns are pillowy and have just the right amount of sweetness... honestly what's not to like? They have tons of options (I wish I had more pics to upload) and every time I come here, no matter what time of day there's always a line. I've brought friends and my boyfriend here and they're always super impressed with how delicious everything is. I'm really surprised this place hasn't gone viral yet. This is authentic chinese baked goods and dim sum at it's best, considering prices and quality. Bring cash if you don't want to pay the $20 minimum-- although it's kind of hard not to because everything is so good here lol. Parking is stereotypical LA metered parking but tbh I never pay (and I doubt anyone else in Chinatown does lmao) since I'm usually in and out.

Small bakery and dim sum produced on sight on Spring Street in China town. Food was tasty, fried and baked items served cold in deli case, steamed items warm in a steamer in rear of counter area. Cold items need to be warmed up at home. No seating in house. They take credit cards over $10. Parking on street via meter @ $1 per hour (Coins or credit cards)

Came in around 3pm on Sunday and there were a wait but line moved very quickly. Service was friendly and efficient. There were a lot of dim sum varieties to choose from. Price was very reasonable for good portions. Everything we got was pretty good. I personally loved the snow BBQ bun as the bread's texture was soft and filled with BBQ meats. Highly recommended.

The Good and the Bad.... The good is the offering of dim sum items, limited Asian desserts, buns etc. The BAD is you better DOUBLE-CHECK your receipt unless you want to go back to question a $21.40 charge on your receipt as I did. This is not the first but second time I've had an issue with my purchases here. The first time I was charged for items the counter clerk forgot to give me. Pay attention and hold up the line, question your bill if in doubt and make sure you have what you're paying for also. Had they been thoughtful and considerate how this inconvenienced me to have to drive back and get a credit, they could've offered me some bakery items for all my trouble but no, hence this review. That overcharge nearly doubled what my actual charges were.

Came on a Tuesday morning, no lines which is perfect to grab a quick bite before heading into the office! I walked in and was quickly greeted by the cashier lady and got my order taken. It was a simple order of half a dozen of egg tarts and within 2 mins I was in and out of the store! The customer service was quick and friendly, she asked if there was anything else I needed and was quick to recommend the Ha Gow and Siu Mai! Unfortunately, I was heading into the office and wasn't too hungry which is why I opted not to make the purchase. Upon entering the store the smell of the dim sum hits you, and man everything smelled so good and delicious. I could just take a seat and order one of everything if I could! The egg tarts itself were still warm by the time I reached the office. The crust was super flaky which I enjoyed! I do generally prefer a more creamy inside, but nonetheless these were very tasty! Would come again!

Just amazing. Been trying to find good to-go dumpling and pastry shops for so long and so happy I found this place. Very reasonable prices and very delicious

I grew up going to Chinatown for most of my life (mom worked there, grandma lived there), but for some reason I never came in here before. There is a decent amount of baked goods here. The taste reminds me of old school baked goods I would eat when I was younger. There are a bunch of steamers behind the counters filled with steamed buns. The chicken bao is big and has a good amount of filling. Egg tart was pretty good too. The custard bun was meh, I couldn't find any filling in it until I was almost done with the bun and I found a tablespoon of custard filling at the last bite. :(

Omg people they have some of the best Chinese sweet treats!! The sweet buns, sponge cake rolls, bbq steamed buns, I can't remember what they are called but the hot dogs in a bun alllllllll delicious goodness!! Can't go wrong! Great prices when on a budget N craving a lil sweet treat!! Service is good nothing negative to say. Its hit or miss depends on time of day you go it can be crowded!! Over all delicious goodness! You should definitely check it out!

My first experience with this delicious and respected mainstay was via takeaway. It impressed me, even when sitting out for an hour or so, which signaled to me that I needed to try more! Visited on Saturday 11ish with my Mom and had a 5 min wait at best. The woman who took my order has an incredible memory--creating my "sampler" exactly as recited. The hargow, shumai, half moon dumpling, and walnut cookies were the standouts for us. Parking was easy a few blocks away and enjoyed a stroll in the sunshine.
