Whether you're a local or just visiting, it’s a place you’ll want to return to again and again.

Golden Steamer's specialty lies in its impressive variety of steamed buns, including big buns and custard buns that have garnered rave reviews. The buns are perfectly soft with just the right balance of flavors.

  • I love the big buns and custard buns from here. Always get myself a pack of each to heat up at home for breakfast/ snack. The service is quick. The buns are tasty and cheap. A box of big buns is only 7! The buns and frozen dim sum are already packed in boxes on the shelves and in the fridge. If you want to buy an individual piece, just go up to the counter and let the worker know.

  • If you're a fan of fresh authentic steamed buns, this is the spot for you! It's a cozy little shop on Mott, the staff were very friendly, the buns were incredibly delicious. I wish I had a place like this near home !

  • I know this place got kind of popular online so I was expecting to have to shell out a little more than you do at some of the “underground” places. I was pleasantly surprised; I bought 5 buns and the total was like 8-12 (I forgot the number but remember my shock at the steal). Not only was the food super cheap, it was also really good! I’m a fan of lean cuts of meat and normally compromise when I get a roast pork bun, but there was only 1-2 big chunks of fat. I also got the chicken bun and that was great as well. The red bean bun I liked less—definitely not sweet enough for my western tastes .

  • 4/5/18 visit: This place specializes in steamed pork buns. They are crazy cheap at only 90 cents for a full size roast pork bun right out of the steamer. I also tried a steamed pork and cabbage bun which was also good. They have a pumpkin bun which I'd like to try next time. 1/21/22 visit: Had the pumpkin (amazing, 5 stars), custard cream (5 stars), red bean (4.5 stars), and roast pork (4.75 stars) steamed buns.

  • Cash only, no frills - pumpkin bun is large and soft, with good filling ratio
