This is the best bakery in Southside Chinatown, without a doubt, the line just never stops like…read morethey're handing free food but they're not. Although the prices are very reasonable, you could come here everyday...BTW, make sure to bring cash as it's cash only. I really love coming here after a meal because the buns are soft, light, airy, and sweet. Thus far, my favorites are: - egg custard topping with a red bean filling and - the coconut bun with whipped creme Wow, those are really good but do try their other offerings and determine your own favorite item. I have to try their Argyle location to see if they're consistently great!! Oh, one more thing, there is a ledge by the window where you can eat quickly whilst standing up but it can get very crowded in there. Xie xie Chiu Quon!!

We decided to try Dong Bei Ren Jia despite seeing the mixed reviews, hoping it might surprise us…read more Unfortunately, it didn't. The overall flavor of most dishes was very bland. The fried buns were dripping with oil, and the steamed buns lacked seasoning. The noodles had an odd taste that was hard to enjoy. The only item we liked was the potstickers, which were actually pretty good. The service was not as bad as I read in other reviews but the person calling out people's orders could learn to speak up so people can hear her. Overall, not a spot we'd return to.

We tried a few other options. The fried upside down pork bun is still the best. The meicai one is a…read morebit too sweet and too spiced up and the flavor is a bit too strong imo. The spicy beef roll is bigger than we thought, and doesn't hold together so it falls apart really easily. The spicy beef flavor is really good tho, a bit too salty but that is pretty on point for Dongbei food. The panfried dumpling was good, but probably generally bought since the filling didn't seem homemade. The soymilk was good, the original unsweetened was made fresh but it's room temperature whereas the sweetened version is heated up but it's a bit too sweet for our palate so we mixed the two together and it was perfect.

As a bakery, I find this spot alright with a limited amount of standard bakery choices compared to…read moreother options like Tous Les Jours, Paris Baguette, etc. In fact, a good amount of options are cookie choices, many of which aren't Asian themed at all. There's also cake choices as well to supplement this. With that said, the bakery items were fairly good quality, even if limited -- similar to what I'd expect from Chiu Quon. They also have a selection of savory dishes from dim sum to sandwiches, and Hong Kong favorites. I'd be interested in trying this on a future visit based on reviews from others.

I got the char siu fried egg sandwich. I enjoyed the pineapple bun and the combination of flavors…read more Parts of the char siu were a bit chewy/hard to chew but the sandwich overall tasted pretty good. The sandwich comes out on a tiny paper container though and it can get messy/deconstructed eating it. A decent value too - about $12, which was a pleasant surprise for me because I feel like a lot of these types of fusion bite places are absurdly pricey. The guy working at the time gave great customer service too. Gave me good recommendations and brought the food out to me in the food court when he saw me, even though he didn't have to. Located in Gangnam Market!

It was super early in the morning so not much was open yet in Chinatown. We went on a wimp as this place opened early like 830 we arrived and we came so early not all the dishes were available. Got congee and crepe and some egg tarts. The name looked familiar & we realized that they are the pastries we see in the grocery store park to shop. Overall pretty ok and good congee.

I bought 2 egg tarts and 2 portuguese tarts from Baobao Bakery, located upstairs at 88 supermarket…read more The reason I gave 2 three stars because the egg tart wasn't what I usually expect. The texture was hard, and the filling wasn't smooth/soft either!! It's dense and feel like not very fresh, missing that typical silky, melt in your mouth style egg tart. However, the portuguese egg tart was actually better. It had a nicer flavor and was more enjoyable. Overall, I probably choose another bakery next time since there are many around Chinatown.

I came in here today for a quick bite! I was so hungry. I was greeted quickly and they explained…read morehow things worked: order at the kiosks or sit yourself to order by QR code. I did the kiosk, they had about 4 I think. I was in a hurry so I didn't really take in the menu. I do wish though the menu was flexible because you could only order 12pc of X dumplings and couldn't mix it up. I wanted lamb and chicken, it would have been perfect to do 6 of each instead of 12 of each since I was one person. I made my order, sat myself; while waiting I checked out the outdoor seating and it wasn't inviting, kind of depressing lol it was dark and boxes on some tables and covered so no sun was coming in. But it had a lot of seating & long tables for big groups. When the food was ready they announced it and it showed ready on the screen. You go pick it up at the counter and all the sauces (soy sauce, black vineager, and chilli crisps) where at the table. The chicken and cilantro dumplings I ordered was delicious, I ate it so fast it's not as good as QXY in Chinatown but it was still really really good! They also had self serve water! I definitely will be coming back with family and friends in the future. The folks who worked there were nice enough, they helped me when I had questions about the process! You kind of had to do everything by yourself besides make the food lol

The restaurant has a decent amount of seating, but the layout felt a little odd and not very cohesive. We tried a handful of items and overall came away feeling pretty underwhelmed. The steamed dumplings were probably the best thing we ordered, though even those were just okay. The chicken and mushroom dumplings were flavorful, but I didn't get much mushroom flavor. The pork, chive, and shrimp dumplings were my favorite of the bunch since the shrimp flavor came through nicely. That said, all of the dumplings could have been hotter and juicier. They arrived lukewarm and lacked the juicy bite I was hoping for. For the spicy chili oil wontons flavor-wise, they were good, but they tasted more like spicy sesame wontons than chili oil wontons. I'm used to this dish being served with a generous sauce, but these were dry. The crispy pork bites were an easy pass for me. They were soggy, mostly tasted like dough, and didn't have much pork flavor at all. For two people, our bill came out to almost $80, which felt pretty steep considering the quality and self-service setup. Nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out enough to justify the price.
