TP Banh Bao 2 is my favorite place for banh bao (Vietnamese steamed bun). They have two locations: Garden Grove/Euclid and McFadden/Brookhurst. I have only been to the one on Euclid, next to Da Lat market. I usually don't like banh bao, but ever since I discovered this place, I'm in love with them! They have many different fillings to choose from or you can have them deep fried (I think 50 cents extra for each bun). It is a must try if you have never had deep fried buns.
I have tried both the steamed buns and the deep fried buns, as well as the different fillings here such as the seafood, custard, combination with salted egg, BBQ pork, but my favorite is the combination with chicken egg (#1 on the menu and most popular). The filling is ground pork, onion, mushroom, chicken egg, and chinese sausage. They are $10 for a box of 9 buns, super affordable! The bun is the perfect size. The dough is soft, fluffy, slightly sweet, and the filling is moist and flavorful. They still taste great after a few days in the fridge.
I have tried the steamed buns from other places, including Yummy Bakery (Yummy Banh Bao) that everyone talks about, and I'm sorry so say none of them can be compared to TP Banh Bao 2!
