Some of the best Chinese BBQ in Victoria. Can’t go wrong with the roasted pork or BBQ pork buns, always good.

Hole in the wall bakery. So delicious sesame rolls! The sticky rice and coconut great too! I was going to say expensive but it doesn't apply when amazing food. They accept debit, cash, credit (fee). Visiting from Washington State and pleasantly surprised.

I've been going to this bakery for well over two decades. The food is just as delicious today and as it was back then. Everything made fresh daily. I could eat the pork buns all day!

All of the treats here are absolutely delicious! I love stopping in for a sweet bun filled with their fluffy whipped cream. Everything is home made and simply fantastic. Very affordable and convenient location- just a couple doors down from the Gates of Harmony. The meats always smell good, but i have never tried them myself.

Update 2020/08/13 they are open again Been around for longer then I have and still makes a great selection of Chinese bakery favourites in traditional fashion (no fusion here). Buns and cookies are amazing with the best bbq pork in town (sliced, on rice or in a steam bun). Only warning to you need to bring cash as they are still old school.

Highly recommend! Amazing buns! We tried the red bean bun and the pork bun! Wouldn’t have found this location if it wasn’t for Andy with A Taste of Victoria Food Tour! Thank you Elaine for your amazing food!

I love to go grab a hand of yummy and so crispy roast pork or melt in your mouth bbq pork after work as an appetizer! You can ask for fatty or less fatty pieces, (I love the fatty ones) and if you are a little hungrier you can ask for rice. Portions are generous, price is lovely, owner is super smiley, will pour more sauce for y’all, and it’s a wonderful treat to share! It’s cash only, but she has a debit machine for an extra small fee.
