Excellent pastries!. Great selection, fresh, delicious, and filling buns!

Sun Fresh Bakery in Chinatown had recently moved from a nearby location and this one looks brighter and cleaner. They specializes in Asian style baked goods like pastries and steamed buns. The buns aren’t perfectly shaped, but that’s because these guys do

The glutinous rice pancakes were the highlight—hands down the best we've ever had. They were moist, fresh, sticky, light, and not overly sweet. While their meat buns tend to be quite large, these pancakes were just the right size for dessert. I also appreciated the tapioca steamed desserts. However, the Chinese sausage rolls had too much bun, leaving us with only half a sausage inside. I've had smaller, more delicate versions with better bun texture in another province. A week later, I finally tried the vegetable pork bun for myself! It was piping hot, straight from the kitchen, not the steam cabinet, thanks to a group of ladies in front of me who purchased dozens of buns. I enjoyed the small amount of soup that seeped out when I cut into the bun—though I'm still figuring out how to catch the soup like you do with xiao long bao. The vegetables were crunchy and the pork flavorful, without that lingering MSG aftertaste.

**Curry Beef Bun ($1.85)** Rating: 3/5 The bun was fluffy and soft, but the filling was lacking. There was only a small amount of beef inside, which, while flavorful, was a bit dry and had a nice hint of spice. **Custard Bun ($1.45)** Rating: 3.5/5 The custard was sweet and creamy with a wonderful aroma. However, I wished there was more custard distributed throughout the bun. **Shredded Pork Bun ($1.85)** Rating: 3.5/5 This bun featured a creamy, mayonnaise-like filling topped with shredded pork. The pork added a lovely savory flavor, but I felt that the filling could have been a touch sweeter. **Shredded Pork Sponge Cake (around $2)** Rating: 3.5/5 This was a Swiss roll filled with cream and topped with pork floss. The cake was light and fluffy, not overly dry, and had a pleasantly salty cream filling. Unfortunately, I couldn't detect much of the pork floss flavor. **Coconut Cream Bun ($1.45)** Rating: 3.5/5 The bun was light and fluffy, with a pleasantly salty cream filling. The coconut on top added a delightful fragrance. **BBQ Pork Bun ($1.85)** Rating: 3.5/5 Unlike the other buns, this one had a good amount of filling. The pork was tender and juicy with a nice sweetness. **Summary:** - Food: 3.5/5 - Price: 4.5/5 - Service: N/A - Overall: 4/5 **Recommendations:** Custard Bun, Shredded Pork Bun, Shredded Pork Sponge Cake, Coconut Cream Bun, BBQ Pork Bun.
