"Biting into the crispy sugary skin breaking apart to reveal savoury char siew brought me to wonderland for a few seconds."

Daniel Ang

"His signature Baked Bun with Barbecued Pork is seriously the best I ever eaten. Very similar to a bolo bao, the sweet pastry covered bun is light and fluffy, with skin so thin, and saucy char siew pork within almost oozing out. Supercrazygood!"

Erin De Santiago

"The filling is the best char siu I have ever tried. The meat is incredibly tender and the honey flavor was quite evident, unlike many others that taste like a mouthful of sugar."

Nate Robert

"Get the baked pork buns (Char siu bao). Dear sweet lord, for the love of all that is good in the world, order the pork buns. Never, ever, has there been such a perfect combination of sweet, savory, crispy, crumbly. Mere words cannot do this morsel justice."

Spencer Pernikoff

"The dough is unapologetically buttery and sugary. The bottom of the buns have reached a level of crunchy, buttery perfection, not unlike a piece of toasted brioche or even a cookie. It’s salty, it’s sweet, it’s meaty."

"Anyway, if you could only order ONE item at Tim Ho Wan it has to be the Baked Bun with BBQ Pork – basically a couple of ‘char siew bao’ with BBQ pork in gooey honey sauce encased in a crumbly pastry."

Kate Springer

"The char siu bao is the jewel in the crown at Tim Ho Wan and, yes, these sweet oozy buns warrant the reputation. But that’s just the start to a very satisfying meal."

Marcia Gagliardi

"One of the best baked char siu bao (barbecue pork bun) in town, with a flavorful caramelized roasted pork filling encased in a pillowy, golden bun with a sweet, crumbly topping."

Jennifer Che

"This is baked charsiu bao (BBQ bun) and it was phenomenal – no question the best BBQ pork bun I’ve ever had. I loved the texture of the shell, which was a bit flaky, crumbly, and sweet."

Marianne Rogerson

"The prices at Tim Ho Wan belie the quality of its dim sum, and the baked Char Siu Bao with a crisp sugary coating are arguably the best in town."
