Mom's Pan-Fried Bun 老娘水煎包 | Downtown

Inexpensive and delicious - portion sizes are modest, great spot for a snack or a full meal depending on how much you’d like to spend. We came here for a midday snack and spent ~$10 per person before tax for some buns and soup. Their pan fried buns were good and freshly made with juicy, meaty filling and a crispy pan-fried bottom. Seating can be quite tight so it might not be the most comfortable. Staff was very friendly and food was served relatively quickly.

Over the Christmas season we visited this little gem-hole in the wall walking (and snacking) from Downtown through Chinatown on the way to Kensington Market and Little Italy. A walk I highly suggest for those seeking food and shop options away from the core. It is just east of Chinatown amongst other Asian establishments and we ventured in funny enough based on positive Google reviews-the reviews are accurate. EXCELLENT value is an understatement, a neighboring table helped us choose from a somewhat complicated ordering process and we also viewed food coming out to help with our selections. We had the pies and dumplings but I encourage you to try a little of everything with these prices! This is a must return for me next time I am in this part of TO.

Definitely affordable!! Food taste is not the greatest, however, it definitely worth the price. Pan fried buns was great. I wish it was fried a bit more though, it’ll be so much better. Chicken wings are definitely amazing! Dumpling soup taste like home cooked meal but definitely still worth every penny

This place felt like a very warm hug on a freezing cold night! Servers and cooks were kind and welcoming, and the food just kept on impressing. We got the pan fried buns, seaweed egg drop soup, fried dough sticks, and a mix of pan fried/steamed dumplings. Would skip out on the braised beef noodle soup only because it’s better to save your appetite for everything else! Will certainly come again whenever I’m in the area and in need of a comforting meal.

Overall food was decent, tasty and the price quite reasonable, service was friendly with clean premises. The panfried dumplings were a bit greasy though. Menu did not list out what's in the noodle dishes. We ordered the classic beef noodle soup - few slices of beef, fried pork chops pieces, tripes and small pieces of bean curd skin. Brunch on Saturday no waiting but quite busy.

Came here on New Year's day at 9pm and it wasn't too busy. We ordered both types of pan fried buns, bean curd salad, beef noodle soup and Chinese chive pie. Everything was solid and I thought the beef noodles were great bang for your buck. I think the buns were wrapped and cooked to order. Would highly recommend and come back for a quick and delicious meal.

Food is great. Good portion and very reasonable price. So flavorful especially the pan fried dumplings. My friend and I wanted to split our bill, one of us want to pay in cash and right away one of the cashier speak in her own language to the other casheir with an upsetting face and you can tell they are talking about us. In my opinion this is unprofessional. You can tell us what happened, doesn't have to make that face.

This is a great little place to share a quick, delicious meal. The prices are reasonable. The staff are quick and very friendly. Menus are available via QR codes or menu. You pay at the cash. I highly recommend the dumplings and mango sago as those are my favourites. Everything is delicious.
