All Day Polo Bun

4.5(838)✓ Google-verified

Polo buns are the draw here: reviewers rave about their soft interior and crisp exterior, especially versions filled with taro or luncheon meat. The space stays clean, staff are quick to adjust things (air conditioning, order corrections), and the brunch menu spans rice dishes, noodles, and egg tarts at moderate prices that most find fair. Beyond the buns, results are uneven. Pork chop mains and soups come thin or watery; taro fillings sometimes feel heavy, and experimental items don't always connect. The milk tea is strong, the homemade salted lime drink hits, and the space fills steadily with a loyal crowd, especially online orders.
