What is Tianjin Auntie's Steamed Bun? Tianjin Auntie's Steamed Bun (known on delivery apps as Tianjin Homemade Flavor) is an authentic northern Chinese street food counter situated in the basement concourse at 77 Huron Street in downtown Toronto's Chinatown. Operated by veteran Tianjin cooks, the shop is renowned among international students and food writers for heritage Chinese breakfast staples.
Tianjin Auntie's Steamed Bun Menu & What to Order The centerpiece is the made-to-order Tianjin Jianbing—a large, thin crepe made from mung bean batter cooked on a flat griddle, cracked with fresh eggs, scallions, cilantro, fermented sweet bean paste, and stuffed with an airy crispy cracker (baocui). Pair your crepe with fluffy steamed baozi filled with juicy pork and chives, alongside fresh fried crullers (youtiao) dipped in warm house-pressed soy milk.
Know Before You Go The counter opens early at 7:30 AM daily, making it one of Chinatown's premier traditional breakfast stops. Cash or direct e-transfer is standard at the counter, with fast turnaround times.
