Yup. It's worth the hype ! I got fried fish buns, fried chicken buns, pineapple buns w/butter filling, and more. The fried fish bun takes the crown. All were good. My wait time was 20 minutes. I arrived around 11:15am Sunday 6/21. The line stretched about the length of 1 store front. The line doubled in length just 5 minutes after my arrival. 5 stars. Delicious. read more

Maybe the hype is the price? It was cool and affordable. Fish sandwich was fresh but needs more sauce. They only do like a dollop of mayo in the center. Although, my coworker said she had more mayo on hers. The batter is light like panko instead of the thick batter. The crunch is definitely there too! The bread was fluffy and lightly sweet. We also shared the pork sung bun which was... different. We weren't expecting the bun to be filled with more mayo than they put on the fish sandwich! haha. Not my favorite. I also got the butter pineapple bun and toasted it at work. Don't get the hype about these either! The bakery offers more dim sum variety. I tried a fried mochi pork thing from my other coworker that was pretty good. Good for cheap food and heavy on the bread haha. Idk if it would be a go-to spot for me though. read more

Finally made it back to try the fish and chicken sandwiches and was pleased to see a short line at 2pm on a Saturday. We were worried they might run out of food given they close at 3pm but they were still actively baking food and didn't seem to be out of anything. Shame on me for not checking my previous yelp reviews as we ended up getting the baked bbq pork buns and the ham sui gok again despite my previous warning to myself that I didn't like them (which rang true again this time), but the fish and chicken sandwiches were nice additions. Fish sandwiches were definitely the star though and we'd opt to get straight fish sandwiches next time instead of mixing it up with the chicken version. Normally would just rate this a 3 buy the fish sandwiches are worth a return visit for sure. read more

Chinese Bakery and Deli - $40 haul - Bakeries Near Me - San Leandro, California

Suuuper disappointing. On Sunday 1:30pm I waited in line about 20 minutes before getting to the front. It's painful to see the TVs not being used as menus. The line would go so much faster if there was a visible menu for everyone to see. They were already sold out of a lot of items. There was a giant dim sum menu which turned out to be a fake because they don't actually sell dim sum. Not sure if that means forever....or just sold out. Fish Bun: Sweeter than I expected. The fish wasn't great and the drop of kewpie didn't make it better. Cocktail Bun: My bun was ripped apart and nearly hollow. For this price I expect the same size and standard as the chain bakeries like Sheng Kee or 85 Degrees. Super disappointing. read more

Chinese born American here to say... I can see why this place is so hyped. Chinese pastries have been a staple in my life. Soft, chewy, semi-sweet.. consistent. And then you add in what everyone loves, fried... fish/chicken. That is exactly why. Thinking about it, there aren't a lot of pastries out similar to Chinese pastries so it makes sense on why this bakery has gotten so popular. However, I would recommend for everyone to try more Chinese bakeries though, as you could find much better quality bread. I found this bakery a bit more dry. The fried fish was super small so the bread to fish ratio was terrible. You may have better luck with the chicken. There were 3-4 staff servicing during my visit and if this is the usual, then the long lines flows decently. Seating is available but I'd say this is more of a grab and go space. There is lots of free parking available which is a plus. I personally wouldn't return again since I've had a lot better but am glad to see that they are successful. read more

Been seeing this trending and got a chance to try it without a crowd! The fish sandwich and egg tart were good quality! Definitely eat the fish sandwich fresh to really get the flakiness of the fish. They have a pretty sizable menu. I always get so confused with my own vocab of the buns vs English xD Medium-ish parking lot shared in the shopping plaza but lot of street parking if you can't find a spot either! Kind of a hole in the wall but they are doing great and I'm happy for their success! Froze. Dim sum and pre ordering cakes are also offered here! read more

Saw the fish sandwiches all over my feed, so I had to try them for myself. I saw that they had a long line 6 months ago, so I wasn't sure if it was also going to be long now. We arrived at 9:30 on a Saturday and waited about 20 minutes so I wasn't too bad. Other than the fish sandwiches I also ordered two egg tarts, one pineapple bun and a pork bun. The total came out to less than $20. The fish was crispy, and the bun was soft. $3 is an unbeatable price, especially in this economy. The egg tarts (the tart wasn't crispy) and pork bun (minimal meat filling) were just average so I probably won't get them again. I would like to try their dim sum and hotdog bun next time I stop by and of course, their fish sandwiches again. Please don't raise the price! read more

Finally checked this place out on a Sunday just before 12pm and the line was minimal (only took about 5-10 min) the line grew to double the size after 12pm. The fried chicken and fish sandwiches for only $3.75 was super worth it ! I enjoyed the large pieces of meat , and fried fresh, also the buns were super soft and tasted better than what you would get from a fast food restaurant. The taro bun was just okay. The egg tarts were nice and flakey. They unfortunately didn't have dimsum when I went . Might be a morning thing. Would definitely come again sometime for their fried sandwiches. Definitely worth it read more

My mom has been coming here for over a decade and love(d) their purple yam bun; however, it seems that the hype may have inflated their egos and led to a decline in quality. The purple yam buns we ordered the other day had minimal to *no* purple yam in it. In fact, they had taken flour and colored it purple to pass off as purple yam when it's actually now filled with a dense bread/cake-like substance (see photo). Super disappointing that they would cheapen out like this. They should either increase the price to account for the increase in cost of ingredients or not falsely advertise that they are selling a bun with purple yam filling and maybe, just not sell it all. It's super deceiving that they are now deliberately coloring the dense bread/cake filling to be purple when it was previously purple yam paste. It's obvious that it does not taste the same. Please reconsider your business practices. read more

I had come here many years ago when I lived close by but kind of forgot about it until it went viral earlier this year for the fish sandwiches. It's tucked away in a little strip mall off the beaten path but social media has made this place a mecca. I tried to come in January, before 8am on a Sunday morning before I had to catch a flight out and the line was nuts- out the door and down a couple shops so I just left that day. No way I was doing the 2 hour waits I had heard about! We came by about a month ago around 9am on a Saturday thinking the hype might have died down a bit and now the line is much more reasonable. We had about a 10 minute wait, the line was contained inside the store. We got the fish sandwich, pineapple bun with pineapple inside, pineapple bun with mango inside, ham/corn bun, and hot dog bun. The fish sandwich is only $3.50 and definitely lives up to the hype. Crispy crunchy on the outside, moist fish inside, creamy mayo, all inside a fluffy roll. Awesome! The filled pineapple buns were so-so- the pineapple and mango inside were too sweet for us, almost like candied. Hot dog bun was solid, we prefer the ham/corn bun at other Chinese bakeries. I've come again since then and a similar line so looks like regular people can come back again! read more

A true hole-in-the-wall spot with fried chicken sandwiches that absolutely live up to the hype. Stopped by after my walk -- and after dessert because apparently balance means cake first This small spot sits tucked into a strip mall near the freeway and honestly doesn't look like much from the outside, but don't judge a book by its cover because the food speaks for itself. The line was out the door when I got there, but the service moves really fast. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich, fish sandwich, and a coconut roll. The chicken sandwich was easily the standout. Crispy, flavorful, and so good I basically inhaled the first one. Definitely recommend getting extra mayo. The fish sandwich was good too, but they use swai, which has a softer texture that just isn't my personal preference. The coconut roll was a nice sweet addition and worth trying. The service isn't overly warm or chatty, but they're efficient and get the job done quickly. Overall, a spot that proves good food doesn't need fancy presentation or aesthetics. Definitely somewhere I'd come back to for the chicken sandwich alone. read more

Came here for the sandwich and a few other other things not sure what the hype was about. The fish was just OK nothing too spectacular or drive a distance for. The chicken was too dry for my liking the pork buns could definitely use some help I'm used to having pork buns that are actually chunks of meat instead of like ground beef in a way. All in all, it's not for everyone read more

Visiting the hype. Actually hot, fresh and delicious. The chicken is super crispy, fish pretty delicate and tasty. The pineapple bun I have not bit into yet but it has a slice of butter. Who can go wrong with butter. I would come back here again. 4x chicken 4x fish 4x pineapple butter read more

The line moves pretty quick. They had 3 cashiers when I went. Their pineapple bun with butter was my favorite. The crust is a bit crispier than how most bakeries make them. The butter they choose goes well with it. It comes out warm and the butter starts melting. The fish sandwich and chicken sandwich are good. I didn't get to try the hotdog bun before someone else ate it but it was gone pretty quick when I brought it home. read more

Been hearing about this place for awhile now ! it's been blowing up on social media that it even reached my dad who is a big lover of fish filet sandwiches! He usually makes his rounds to Chinese bakeries on the weekends in the morning to grab for our family to eat for breakfast/lunch. He finally made his way here for the first time. He got the fish burgers, the ham/egg sandwiches, hot dog buns, chasiu baos, egg tarts, and salted egg yolk buns. definitely worth the price for the fish sandwiches! the buns are so soft and the fish fillets are amazing and huge for the price. highly recommended ! read more

Wow, I never would have heard of this little gem if my friend didn't take me here. They saw it on ig, and there was a giant line outside the door. They ran out some things that we wanted, but the line does move pretty quickly. We spend $80, because we always love to over order. But wow, my favorite was the chicken sandwich! The mango pineapple bun, and coconut bun I would skip. Parking was easy, and we found a spot right in front. Expect the long line and having a back up choices. Service was nice, and they even let my friend and I sat inside and ate. Nice that they also have a public restroom there. read more

Long lines but moves really fast! Recommend that you come early (they do open at 7am, closed on Monday's) for fresh egg tarts and buns! Still wonderfully priced to easily buy a dozen and enjoy with the family all weekend! They baked in house and staff are quick and will make some recommendations (though most have limited English) if you aren't sure what to eat. My go to - pineapple buns, baked pork buns, red bean paste buns, egg tarts and any of the dim sum!! But I missed out on the fish buns which everyone is talking about so definitely going back next time! read more

IYKYK. Too bad this little place blew up due to influencers/social media. Used to be our local gatekept secret spot. Now, there's barely parking and the line is out the door for up to hours! I overheard others in line saying it was there first time and they drove from Sacramento! I'm from Sacramento myself but have been coming for a long time since my grandpa lives in San Leandro. Always been a huge fan of the baked BBQ pork buns and the Fish Sandwiches, and egg tarts. They used to do hot food like chow fun and pork and shrimp shumai and wontons, but I think now that they're so busy (2 cashiers) they are focusing on the baked goods. When I last went on a weekend morning, I only [triumphantly] got one dozen bbq charsiu bao, some fish sandos and egg tarts. They ran out so I also got one coconut tart. They also ran out of the hot dog buns. Happy for them to get all this sudden business, but save some for the rest of us please! :) read more

Came for the popular fish sandwiches. Very simple but so good! The bread was a bit like pandesal with a slightly more bite. It comes with mayo? And the fried fish filet. That's it!

After I left the line, the line out the door, service was fast. I will definitely be back once I'm near the area again. The fish sandwich was very good and will order it every time I visit.

Great place for your Chinese bun assortments. Mostly all ladies running the bakery. Known for their Fish Buns nice crispy fish with a little mayo on the bottom of the bun. They also have a fried chicken bun as well. Tried the Japanese purple yam pineapple custard and bbq pork bun as well. All were good, bbq pork filling had a nice sweet char siu flavor that I like. Will take more people here when they visit. Lines can get long so be prepared. You'll have your order taken on paper then rang up. Someone will then fill your order in a box if you have a bigger order. read more

Surely a bakery that's been plastered all over social media couldn't be this good and reasonably priced right? I'm here to tell you the hype is TRUE!! Their chicken and fried sandwiches are phenomenal! The fry on both the chicken and fish is perfect. The buns perfectly soft and not too much for the filet cuts. What's even better, each sandwich is $3.50!!! My trick, I went on a Sunday towards the end of the day to avoid the lines. They were out of some pastries but I mainly came for the sandwiches. Honestly if there was a line, I would gladly wait for one of these sandwiches again! read more

Unfortunately the hype is real and completely worth the wait. I fortunately didn't have to wait extremely long considering I decided last minute to come but the ~30minutes it took to wait at least gave me time to decide what I wanted. I'd recommend coming on a random weekday, at opening if possible and you'll have the best pick of options without anything selling out. I ordered the fish sandwich, chicken sandwich, bolo bao (pineapple bun), Chinese hot dog and egg tart. All of which were fairly priced! I believe everything totaled to under $40. The service isn't the friendliest but they're straight forward and the line does keep moving. Keep in mind the parking lot can get full because it's located near neighboring businesses - just be prepared to wait in line as this place is very popular. read more

Our 19th hold lunch stop yesterday. The line was only about 10 deep so we decided to wait. We were lucky to get the one long table for 8 that was available to sit. We had to squeeze since we had 9, we asked if they had 1 more chair and they did not. The line went fast but at 1:00 pm, they were sold out of many items. Most of us tried the chicken and/or fish sandwiches. The fish is crispy and flaky. Bun is very good too with a little mayo. Super thick piece of fish with a crispy bun. Chicken sandwich was also thick piece of meat with a little mayo that was crispy and not too dry. Since the items we wanted to try were sold out we just ordered 1 cha sui bow which was okay. The meat inside the bun was very sparse! Also ordered a plain Pineapple Bun which top was good and the inside bread was soft but nothing special. The staff worked fast and were friendly. Mostly take out and lots of boxes and baking ingredients lined up all over the waiting area. The line never died down and it was constant people lined up the whole time we were there. Glad we were able to try their Fish and Chicken sandwiches and would go back for either of those two items. read more

I would rate this 3.5 stars. We waited in line for about 10-15 mins on a weekend. They did not have as many items as I thought. It looks like they removed several items and are mainly selling the fish and chicken sandwiches. I bought a few egg custard's and thought they were ok. The crust was thick and overwhelming for me. It is usually flaky and light. We bought chicken and fish sandwiches. I tried the fish and the bun is a baked bun but plain with it cut and a piece of fish or chicken inside with a big dollop of mayonnaise which I was not a big fan of. I do not know why this place is so hyped up. read more

Food - came here after seeing the viral tiktok video and ordered a fish sandwich and an original pineapple bun. Fish sandwich - SUPER thick piece of fish, bread was buttery and it was SO YUMMY! Towards the end of the bun, there was a little bit too much mayo concentrated, but it's fine. Pineapple Bun was simply amazing. Fresh, warm, crispy on the top and buttery. Everything I could ever ask for. Service - super quick and fast. We went around 9AM and the line wasn't terrible, maybe a 15 minute wait or so. Ambiance - small bakery with no seating, go early to avoid lines. read more

Let's get it out of the way already. Of course I came here for the hype. I happened to be in San Leandro early in the morning so why not? I did order the fish sando cause that's what I came for. The line was already 10 people deep but didn't take too long. The lady was very busy but super nice. The sando was good. I never eat fish sandwiches so this was the exception. I guess I'll start eating fish sandos from now on. These were good enough to convince me. I did add so habanero hot sauce later just cause I like my food spicy though. If in the area just go there and give it a try you won't be disappointed. read more

The hype is absolutely real. This unpretentious local spot does one thing and does it exceptionally well: serving some of the best fish sandwiches in the Bay Area. The fish is perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Tucked into a slightly sweet bun with just a touch of mayo, it's the kind of simple combination that somehow tastes way better than it should. At only $3.50 each, it might be the best food deal in the East Bay. The custard pineapple bun was also a standout--soft, buttery, and worth ordering alongside the sandwich. The coconut tart and milk tea were decent, but they didn't quite reach the same level as the stars of the show. If you're wondering whether the hype is justified, it definitely is. Simple food, done right, at a price that feels like it belongs in another decade read more

Worth the hype! After doom scrolling on instagram, I found posts about this Chinese bakery that serves the best fried fish filet sandwich and for a really good price: $3.50! Decided to drive west towards San Leandro and swing by around 9:30am. Upon arrival, there was already a slight wait that lasted around 10 minutes from the entrance of the door. When we were ready to order, the line grew to around the corner of the plaza! We ordered the fried fish filet sandwich, chicken breast sandwich, bbq pork bun, and a variety of pineapple buns. Super tasty, but being from the bay area, a lot of these finds are readily available and much closer for me around the South Bay. I would only order the fried fish filet sandwich next time as that was the most unique and delicious item on their menu. The service was as great too. They all speak Cantonese and really made me feel at home. Some of the nicest people working there and really made sure we got our order correct. There isn't much dining space and they definitely do more take out instead. Overall, a really nice place to visit to confirm all of the social media hype. Would come back if I was around the area for sure! read more

This bakery went viral like 5 months ago, it is now June 2026, there's still a line when I went at 11am. The line wasn't long, only like 10 people, the bread was ready to be packed and sold. There was more than ample parking. There was a lot of staff to keep up with the demand, and 1 or 2 tables with a couple of chairs. Online ordering/pickup is unavailable until further notice. This place is doing so well with the chicken and fish buns that they aren't selling dim sum at the moment. The viral sandwiches are pretty standard: bread, house-made mayo, deep fried protein. Could use some lettuce in my opinion, maybe 2 slices of tomato, more mayo. The bread is very thick, but crisp and somewhat fresh. i had great difficulty scarfing the bread down. The egg tarts, wow, the bread shell crumbles at the touch. I'd definitely be coming back for more. The veggie meat bun was underwhelming, but worth the try. The deep-fried glutinous rice dumplings barely had any meat inside, but still tasted okay. read more
