Truly delicious!:D Worth the hype, there was a line, as expected, it didn’t take too long, order came out in less than two minutes. The bun itself was warm, the inside was saucy and flavorful, bread was soft, I would totally come again to get some more :>>

If you like something sweet with the smooth buttery taste, you’re gonna enjoy the pineapple pork bun, just be aware of the lines are long(come at a reason reasonable time) :3

It’s so cold but GQ says its colder in Chicago. I’m sorry Hattie. The bun was not as good as normal today. Very unfortunate! But excited to catch up with Mr. Qin!

Come in the winter, at least then the crowd will keep you warm. Annie got the wrong pineapple bun.. but she pushed thru and demanded (asked nicely) for the correct one she ordered because we do not take that lying down.

Mei Lia what’re you looking at? This was the last spot on our little cheap eats china town tour. They charged us tax on this when we paid cash, which felt crazy. I love these pork buns though. Love love love. I was ready to go back at this point, tummy was starting to hurt from the rice rolls earlier. Be careful out there. Also, it was so so so pretty out today I wish it was like this all the time :)
