Tai Pan Dim Sum Bakery

Fried shrimp balls and shrimp filled pepper. 3 for $6.80 The fried shrimp balls were the winners. Def need to come grab a bag of bao buns from the freezer when I come back with more cash.

Authentic Soy-Milk, Meat Buns, Traditional Porridge, and Turnip Cake. Green Onion Bread is fire too. Soy-Milk consistently sells out before 1pm everyday so come early. Don't expect American customer service, speak loudly (almost shouting), gesture with your fingers if you want multiple of an item. Bring cash or DEBIT card, there's a 3% upcharge if you use credit card. Speaks minimal but working proficiency Mandarin Chinese; use 個 for everything, they won't understand otherwise.

RUDEST customer service!!! I have been here many times. Like 30+ times and never had any issues. I came in early the day after Christmas because I wanted a variety of fresh dim sum. Having that there were shelves filled with food, I needed to ask what was what because nothing is labeled. Because I have a shellfish allergy I need to be certain I do not accidentally get anything with shellfish in it. The very first item that I asked and directed the woman to, she snapped at me at started yelling, repeating herself over and over again “ bbq bbq bbq bbq bbq bbq bbq bbq” as if I was deaf. I was a bit confused because she was wearing a mask and I thought what she was saying was a long word for what it was because she kept repeating herself. I could not get a word in myself. When I said okay, she sighed, huffed and puffed and said that I don’t understand and I need to make a selection. She rolled her eyes and directed her attention to the next person in line. Literally skipping over me now. Luckily the next peon in line and everyone else still gave me my time. I chose to not purchase anything. Instead, I called her out and told her to never speak to any human like that because it is rude and inappropriate. Other customers were baffled by her. She was not expecting me to speak up because her eyes got so big, she stood there and folded her arms. She eventually got so red and embarrassed she ran to the back. Will never be returning here and it is a shame that this woman thinks talking to someone rudely will gain business of this place. If you can’t handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen!

The cashier is rude.

My go-to place for sesame balls - crispy on the outside from the coating of gazillion fine sesame seeds, yet cooked through in its 3/8" thick chewy dough, and more than adequate red bean paste stuffing. Reheats well in the air fryer. Keep missing out on its Shrimp cheong fun. Will have to wake up early to join its legendary lines someday. The stuffed green pepper is very good, the stuffed eggplant was too greasy, but the shrimp stuffing was fresh-delicious on both, and easy on the tummy. Egg custard was delicious - tender but evenly COOKED through. Oh its warm soya milk feels good in my tummy (Chinese equivalent of hot chocolate on a cold day?) reminiscent of home and its hawkers on the other side of The Pacific. Not top of the line fare like HarborView Restaurant in SF but very satisfying for something within 15 minutes of home, without need for reservations, dressing up, topping up the gas tank etc.

CUSTARD BAO ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Also, the ham sui gok are GINORMOUS

This place is over price now. I ordered only three dim sum items (sesame balls, shrimp ball and fish paste on the pepper) and it cost me $20+ When I tried it, the fish paste on green pepper is already spoiled. It definitely turned already. The sesame ball is super hard outside. And the store charged 3% service fee for credit card usage. I don’t think that’s reasonable. Overall, low quality of good and high price. Hope the owner can see the reviews here and improve it.

Food is cheap and decent, not great compare to the more expensive store like 85C.Worst, after I used my card to purchase today, there were two illegal international transactions at a store in Hong Kong according to the bank that I reported unauthorized transaction. Even without proof, I am 100% sure this store stole my debit card credentials and give it to it’s gang in HK, The store owner has ethnic ties to HK/China based on the dialect the cashier speaks! Use only cash at this store or stay away from this store!

The casher there are super RUDE, very bad attitude.
