  I've only been here for the half off buns after 5pm or so. Get here early because they go quick. Even the dim sum items and others are part of it. Though not the best, pretty good deal though!

  Golden Apple Cafe is average compared to the many bakeries in Chinatown. The buns are yummy, but the lunch dishes aren't that great. I tried the rice noodles and fried noodles, which was overflowing  with tasteless sauce and oil.
  The prices are cheap, however. (65 cents for a pineapple top bun!) I love to come here after 5:00 pm to get discounted buns: buy one get one free (Although the prices mysteriously changes from 65 cents to 90 cents). I would rate this cafe with four stars, but the service was terrible. The cashier tried to rip me off because she didn't know that I knew about the buy one get one free offer. When asked her about it, she just said "Yeah", changed the price, and continued watching the Chinese drama on TV.

  This bakery is definitely at the top of my list in Chinatown. Fresh food and great prices make it hard to pass up.  If you're bringing more than 5 people, the afternoon seems like a better time than the morning.
  
  My favorites include:
  
  Shrimp won ton soup  (Hong Kong style)
  Ham & Egg bun
  BBQ Pork pastry
  Apple pie pastry
  Butterfly cookies (order of 4)
  
  You can always get a cup of milk tea for under a dollar.  Pick out a sandwich, a pastry and tea for $3.00 and you should leave contented.
  
  In addition to the baked goods, you can also find a full range of decent restaurant fare that is always fun to share with your table mates.

  I just found out about this place a few weeks ago - never even knew there was a bakery there. Prices on the pastries and desserts are pretty good - you can get three steamed white buns with pork and vegetable or BBQ pork for two dollars. I've also had their cheescakes and tiramisu and it's pretty yummy too, although some may find it a tad too sweet. Entrees are decent for the price. Service is great, and the staff is fluent in English.
  
  If you do go, I recommend trying out their chicken sandwich. Pretty good and it's only 1 dollar!
