The Heart of Chinatown Baking

Since its inception around 2009, Golden Steamer has stood as an authentic culinary beacon in New York City. Beginning with a modest, subterranean counter on Mott Street, the bakery earned widespread devotion through simple dedication: crafting genuine Cantonese steamed buns that are exceptionally soft, generously filled, and priced so everyone in the community can eat warmly and well.

In August 2023, Golden Steamer took an exciting leap forward by relocating and expanding into our flagship storefront at 210 Grand Street, while maintaining our beloved neighborhood branches in Brooklyn’s Sunset Park and Bensonhurst. From our signature molten salted egg yolk custard and vivid pumpkin buns to freshly pulled milk tea and crispy bakery snacks, we remain proud to feed New York City every single morning.

Helpful Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about visiting Golden Steamer in NYC.

Where is Golden Steamer located in NYC? +
Golden Steamer currently operates three verified locations across New York City: our Manhattan flagship at 210 Grand Street, New York, NY 10013 (between Mott and Elizabeth Streets), and two Brooklyn locations at 5224 8th Avenue in Sunset Park and 1964 86th Street in Bensonhurst.
What happened to the old Mott Street location? +
In August 2023, Golden Steamer relocated from its original small counter at 143A Mott Street to a significantly larger, brighter flagship space just around the corner at 210 Grand Street. The 143A Mott Street shop is closed, and all Manhattan bakery operations are now housed on Grand Street.
Does Golden Steamer have a location in Flushing, Queens? +
No. Golden Steamer does not currently operate a physical branch in Flushing, Queens. While many customers search for "Golden Steamer Flushing", our only verified physical stores are in Manhattan Chinatown (210 Grand St) and Brooklyn (Sunset Park & Bensonhurst). Many patrons take bulk packs of frozen buns home to Queens to steam and enjoy anytime.
What are Golden Steamer's most famous steamed buns? +
Our most celebrated specialties include the Pumpkin Bun (filled with smooth, delicately sweet pumpkin puree), the Salted Egg Yolk Bun (rich sweet-and-savory custard lava), classic BBQ Roast Pork Buns (Char Siu Bao), Pork & Vegetable buns, and sweet red bean bao.
What forms of payment are accepted? +
Golden Steamer operates primarily on a cash-only basis to keep prices affordable for the community. At our 210 Grand Street flagship, Venmo payments are also accepted at the counter. We strongly recommend bringing cash when you visit.
