S	Siu Chu L on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place is popular for their siopao’s so we got a pork siopao, chicken siopao and turon! The siopao is a pillowy soft bun with a sweet pulled chicken or pulled pork filling and half an egg (similar to a Chinese char siu bao). It comes with a dip that you can dip the bun in. It gets messy but it’s worth the try! We enjoyed the pork a little more than the chicken. The fresh turon was the highlight of it all though!! It’s a crispy spring roll with caramel drizzled on top, instead of a meat or vegetable filling, it’s a sweet banana inside! It’s a delicious place to hit for an afternoon snack!
M	Mark Tompsett on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ When driving west on Wilson, the location is difficult to figure out where to enter the parking area, but don't worry. At the stoplight just past it, turn right and then immediately go into the parking lot. Parking is still difficult because the lot is frequently so full. However, the place is okay, and the food is delicious. If you are craving siao pao, get some lovely pao, because it is lovely.
E	Elhgyne A. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Best siopao in town! Friendly people, clean place and open on weekends. I know they also serve some Pinoy food and they have small selection of groceries if you need to pick something else up. Empanadas are good, too. But Siopao Asado is worth driving for.
R	Rebecca Schwartz on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ So delicious!! Loved the chicken siopao, spring rolls and suman. Great service and so helpful and lovely helping us with our choices! Will definitely be returning.
G	Gastro W. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ For takeout: Sio pao translates from Tagalog as “hot bun” and are essentially big fluffy baos filled with a sweet and savoury filling made with pork ($12.75 for 6 buns) or chicken ($14 for 6 buns). Both have the meat cut in large chunks and are tender and flavourful thanks to the asado glaze. The sauce isn’t as sweet as what’s found in Chinese barbeque pork buns, but it also doesn’t need to be as flavourful as the bread, despite the bun’s size, is also thinner – especially the bottom, it almost melts into the sauce. Slice into them and you’ll see there’s also half a hard-boiled egg in the middle. This isn’t traditional, rather a twist Lovely Pao made to their recipe. In fact, the business started off as a way to make ends meet, when the owner was unemployed and facing financial difficulties. She made the buns in her kitchen, selling them to friends and family, and worked at perfecting the recipe. Instead of making them too runny, she offered a thicker sauce on the side for people to add themselves.
C	Cherryl Ann Koylass on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The pork asado siopao and chicken asado siopao are delicious! Large, fluffy steamed buns with generous, flavourful filling and half of a boiled egg inside each bun. Pleasant service and good value for money.
S	Sammy Nelson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The food there reminds of back in the Caribbean, I ate something that was wrapped in a banana leaf which I find very tasty ? also a round shaped pastry which made my mouth jump with joy. To top off this awesome experience is the staff, very friendly and courteous. I will definitely stop by again when I'm in the area.
m	migz OCAMPY on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is my go to place for fresh shopao. I came in this morning around 8:30 am (they open at 8) I asked to order half a dozen at the counter (fresh) the lady told me they didn't have any and they will be coming around 10 am. She then said there are some batches inside the fridge. I go to the fridge and nothing. Fridge was empty. Pretty disappointed considering they open at 8 and have nothing until 10, not even frozen. Why open at 8? Open around 10 when you guys have it.....
