Yuan Da Tou Bao Zi

This shop is near Guanghua Road in Hankou. It is easy to find by following the navigation. I haven't eaten their buns for a long time, but I usually eat a few every time I pass by. The shop is not big, with two sales windows. The speed of getting the buns is quite fast. Unfortunately, there are no seats for dine-in, so basically I take them away. Meat buns are my favorite, especially the ones that are just out of the oven. The outer skin is very thick, the meat filling is very thick, and the gravy is also very fragrant. I feel full after eating two or three. The price is moderate overall. You can try it if you pass by.

There are always a lot of people. You will feel bad if you don't buy enough after queuing! Every flavor is good. The fresh meat is juicy when you eat it immediately, the beef is a bit spicy, the new variety of vermicelli and dried bamboo shoots are also very good. There is also a unique fish-flavored shredded pork flavor that is also good.

This is the leader among the steamed bun shops in Wuhan. There is no other place like this! The prices are fair and hygienic. It has been standing for decades and there are always so many people lining up every day. Their fish-flavored shredded pork buns are the most famous.

This bun shop has been popular for more than 20 years. There is always a queue every time I pass by. We live nearby, so we buy some from there occasionally. But I personally don't think the taste is amazing. It's just one of the better ones. I prefer the buns with soy sauce, followed by the ones with fresh meat. The other varieties are not to my taste, especially I don't like their very white dough. I always feel like there are too many additives.

Yuan Datou's steamed buns can be said to be a time-honored brand in Wuhan. Whether it's in the morning, at noon or after get off work, there is a long line at the door. His steamed buns are really delicious, the bun skin is soft, and the thickness is just right, and the fillings are super sufficient. My personal favorite is the bacon bun, which has a lot of meat and rich soup, and the beef bun, which has a lot of beef and Oxford tastes great. My friend prefers the braised pork bun, but I personally think the braised pork bun is a bit too dry.
