My mom frequently buys buns from Golden Bun Bakery to make at home for breakfast. My sister tried their fried pork dumplings before and told me good things about them so I knew I had to try them.
The bakery is situated on a high pedestrian and traffic corner. In addition, it is right off of the Bay Parkway Train Station on the D Line.
Small bakery and limited seating. Staff is nice and helpful. They have an assortment of buns, baked goods, dim sum, and quick fixes for lunch/snacks which makes it very convenient to pick up.
The dumplings were 5 for $1.75 which were darn cheap! It seems they only have one type of dumpling which is the fried pork dumpling. The dumplings were scrumptious! They weren't crispy or crunchy, but somehow they still tasted great. The dumpling skin wasn't too thick which I liked. The filling inside consisted of ground pork, jicama, and chives. Very tasty and flavored well. The jicama gave the dumpling a slight crunch to it.
I really liked the fact this bakery is close to my house and the train station. There's many bakeries along 86th street, but this one really stands out from the ones I've tried because of these delectable dumplings.
I haven't be here too many times to write a review, but since I am the duchess of Golden Bun Bakery, I have to write something.
I came here for their "bao" twice. Well, it's golden "bun" so I gotta order some bao. Their bao were good to enjoy but sometimes it's not that warm to enjoy even though they told me that they steamed it again.
First time I had the lotus paste and 2nd time I ordered the pork bun. Pork bun was.. "meh".. but the lotus bun was pretty good.
I like the lady that works there. They are all really friendly and patient since I took a long time to decide what I want and I only purchase 1 bun at a time.
Small bakery. Limited seating. Not a lot of selections. BUT cute miniature pastries. Like the mini egg white tarts. Like the mini buns. Perfect size for someone like me who like to eat small portions. This way allows me to try a little bit of everything. Nice!
They have tons of selections. Including mini buns, steam buns, dim sum items and steam rice dishes.
The food is decent. But sometimes you'll end up with stomaches.
Their service is horrendous. 5 times I've purchased their shrimp rice rolls and spare rib over rice and they forget the most important ingredient: the soy sauce. Once I can understand. But 5 times is just ridiculous. Fed up to the point I actually called them to complain. They came up with so many excuses, got loud and disrespectful then hung up on me.
Good standard Chinese bakery with odd metallic seating. I have come here many times for their dim sum items and have found them consistently decent, if somewhat cold. What I find surprising is that for a place that specializes in buns, any bun I've gotten from them has been mediocre at best. Whatever. Still a decent place to grab some quick breakfast if you don't feel like going to a sit down dim sum place.

I'll be spending my money elsewhere.
