I work a short walk away from here and it’s almost dangerous to be this close. The bbq pork buns are absolutely delicious - I still haven’t had any as good as these. The other buns are quite good too, but the pork bun is a must try. The staff are always lovely as well. I’ll continue my weekly bun pickup.
Love the steamed BBQ Pork buns here and make sure to leave some room for the apple tarts too. Check out the coconut buns and egg tarts too. The couple that run this bakery are super nice and you feel very welcome every time you visit. TIP: Apple tarts are usually available a little later in the day from my experience
The female staffs serving the dining customers were really nice and attentive. I loved everything I ordered... steamed bun, red bean sesame ball, congee. I think the price could be better though.
The lady behind the counter was so kind and friendly. Steamed buns taste authentic! So yummy!
The food is AMAZINGGG, and I love the owners of this place. It is so authentic, especially those BBQ Pork Buns are to die for. I go here at least 2 times a week because they’re just that addicting, and I always get amazing service. Support these businesses during these hard times!
Had chef's congee for lunch, very delish. Reminds me of a typical Chinese bakery slash restaurant back in Manila. The ladies are very hospitable.
Cheap and cheerfulA good selection of samosas, pies and some pastriesDefinitely nothing fancy but good value for moneyFriendly staff as well
The bbq pork bun had lots of filling and was tasty and then I tried a couple other savory ones like sausage topping which were very good too. Slightly higher pricing per bun than other bakeries. Max 2 customers in the store at a time for physical distancing so possible line up outside to get in.
Really good dimsums and the pork bun was outstanding
My only complaint is that I’ve never had a bun from here that didn’t stick to the parchment paper. I end up having to eat every bun upside down to avoid the torso of my shirt becoming pork belly. Oh well, let’s call it a novelty open-face bao. That aside, this is thee place for pork buns. Fresh dough, and plenty of quality meat inside.Contrary to several claims in other reviews, Original New Town Bakery (Est 1948) seems to have nothing to do with Newtown Bakery (Est 1980). The latter’s website even states on its Locations page, “Please note that we do not operate the Original New Town Bakery on Cambie Street in Vancouver.”Someone else left a one star review due to this place being owned/operated by “old people”. That’s a bit ridiculous, but if you are looking for a trendy bun then yes, this is not the place for you. Unfortunately you’ll have to go elsewhere for your matcha infused bao with delectable Beyond Meat filling.
