Char siu bao (bbq buns) near Woodfield?

Post #1 - January 14th, 2008, 10:46 amI have a friend coming in tomorrow from Green Bay for business and she's got a craving for Chinese bbq buns - does anyone know of a place near the Woodfield Mall area that serves them? It's got to be reasonably close to Schaumburg - we won't have time for a run to Chinatown. I turned up two decent looking Chinese places on Metromix (Smiling Budda and Henry Jay Chinese Restaurant) but can't find menu pages for either.
Thanks!

They do. I saw a family eating dim sum on New Year's eve.

Post #5 - January 14th, 2008, 1:24 pmAre you looking for baked or steamed?
For baked, I believe that Tianlai Mart gets them in from Chinatown. They bring fresh bakery up to Palatine from Chinatown on a daily basis. You might be able to call them a day in advance if you have a special request. It is very close to 53.
Tianlai Mart

For steamed, you could inquire if Jockey Wok n Roll website has them in their dim sum selection (11:30am-2pm)

Post #7 - January 14th, 2008, 7:27 pmI haven't seen the pork buns at Tianlai but i get the onion and chive buns there all the time (from Chinatown). Really not close to Woodfield though.

My mom sees it on the weekend, and like I said before you can probably ask them to bring you some if you ask in advance. It's less than a 10 min ride up north on 53 from Woodfield, which is much closer than Chinatown.grant wrote:I haven't seen the pork buns at Tianlai but i get the onion and chive buns there all the time (from Chinatown).

Post #9 - January 15th, 2008, 3:17 pmI called Smiling Buddha and with some communication problems I ascertained that they DO have steamed BBQ buns on Saturday & Sunday (most likely for Dim Sum) but when I asked, "but not for dinner?", the woman told me that they could provide them, but it would cost more. Um, ok. I guess I'll give it a shot - my friend is looking for something slightly more authentic than Big Bowl.
