Mom's Pan Fried Bun

Mom’s Pan Fried Bun (老娘水煎包) is the sheng-jian-and-soup-dumpling brand that now lists eight official rooms on momspanfriedbun.com. The downtown original on this list is 185 Dundas Street West, daily 10:00 a.m.–10:00 p.m., phone (647) 346-8368. Official menu leads with signature pan-fried buns, braised-pork pan-fried buns, Mom’s special steamed pork soup dumplings (6 pc), and sticky-rice siu mai. First-timers: the fresh-pork pan-fried bun for the skirt, then the steamed soup dumplings if you want broth in a different wrapper. QR-code ordering, pay at the counter, lunch fills with the Dundas office crowd. No reservation culture on the official site. Sister rooms include 266 Spadina, Markham Kennedy, Scarborough Silver Star, Mississauga, Richmond Hill, Newmarket, and Waterloo — same official daily 10–10 clock. This is the expanding GTA sheng-jian pick, not a one-room Chinatown classic.
