Yen Bakery (vua Banh Bao)

Good food, not too much people, and its a big place! Whats also great is that they also serve drinks, its delicious depending on how you want it. ?

I love their meat and egg bun. It's delicious and I think it's the best bun out there in orange county California.Highly recommend this place for Delicious meat and egg buns.

My dad and I decided to check out this bánh bao spot in OC while visiting. We usually frequent other places for banh bao, but we were pleasantly surprised with this place! The service was really kind and friendly, I'm surprised it's not busier here.We got a bunch of boxes of various baos to take home. In store we tried the quail egg and pork one, which is a must have classic. I really enjoyed this one and it tastes great when fresh and piping hot. We also tried the beef one in store, which I thought was just okay. A little bit too sweet for my liking for a savory bao. The durian one was really good though! Perfectly sweet and creamy, with fresh tasting durian. The avocado snow drink I was skeptical about at first but ended up being really good! It wasn't too sweet and very creamy. Would stop by again if I'm in the area

Been craving banh bao lately, and since Vua Banh Bao happened to be on the way, I thought why not? It's a pretty unassuming place from the outside, but when you walk in, it's open, spacious, and clean. They offer a variety of Vietnamese snacks and to-go foods, but their main specialty is their banh bao, so we ordered the quail egg ver. and the chicken egg ver. The older lady taking our order was super sweet and she packed them up in a jiffy. We were in and out within 3 minutes. The banh bao itself was steaming hot and tasted savoury upon the first bite. My sister is super picky with the bun, but she was also quite satisfied as well. The bun wasn't too thick, but rather thin and fluffy; it did not take away from the filling. Although, I do wish the banh bao was bigger, at least for the price we were paying for since other places (on the same street even, iykyk) charge less at a bigger size. I don't know if they taste as good though, but then again, it's up to y'all. For us, we'll for sure be coming back.

I feel bad for giving this place a 3 stars cause I was hoping their banh bao would be really good given the name and the lady helping us was extremely nice. We were there on a Saturday noon and it was empty we were the only customers so I felt weird for getting just one bao. So I got a box of number 1 pork and quail eggs, and a few other things. I asked to eat one out of the box so she heated it up for me cause I was excited to try it and make it my new go to baos. Unfortunately the filling wasn't up to expectations, it was somewhat bland felt like regular ground pork. The skin was fluffy so it saves it but I like a flavorful pork filling and the bao didn't have that wow factor. It was edible but wouldn't get the bao again...not sure what else to come here for. Sad cause I really liked that lady
