Both flavors are great, but the chengdu braised one is a bit better! The soymilk is really nice, highly recommended

Lee & Bai Buns and Noodle is a great spot in Flushing for fresh, handmade buns. Their Chengdu-style pork buns are juicy and flavorful, and the variety of fillings keeps things interesting. The place is clean, service is quick, and prices are reasonable. If you're in the area and craving some quality buns, it's definitely worth a visit.

Excellent food, very authentic, a little spicy. My wife and I tried both the vegetarian buns as well as one of the noodle dishes without meat and everything was delicious. I recommend you try this spot if you’re ever in Flushing.

Pretty good fresh buns, very fast service. The smaller ones are a great snack to have. Not sure if they sell frozen ones but would definitely buy a bunch to steam up at home at my leisure if available! Note seems like single buns are only a available for breakfast and if you come after you will get the mini buns.

The fresh buns were quite good, and the service was fast. The smaller buns make for a great snack. I’m not sure if they offer frozen buns, but I’d definitely buy some to steam at home if they were available. Also, it seems that single buns are only available during breakfast hours; after that, you’ll get the mini buns.

It's a blessing to live in Flushing, this place just opposite to my apartment. The taste of the steamed bun really reminds me of my childhood in China. It's been almost 15 years for me haven't tried authentic Baozi like this. It's really a representative of where there's a home, there is Lee and Bai. I suggest the introduction part on the TV with English subtitles.

A cozy atmosphere and very attentive staff . Got the mifen which is quite authentic. There are complimentary turnip appetizers, a common staple in Chengdu! Can’t speak about the buns haven’t tried them yet.
