Chicago's best Chinese bun?

My wife and I love Chinese buns? Any suggestions in the Chicago area?

    Also try Saint Anna Bakery in the CT mall for both savory and sweet (try the coconut custard) buns . Their egg custard tarts and curry turnovers are also well worth a try.

    Not too far away on Canal is the Richwell Market with a large section of pastries, and in the morning buns frequently hot from the oven.

      Almost right across from St. Anna is another bakery(name escapes me) that I think does a really good job with their buns ( and their egg tarts)

      Try Chiu Quon. They have a bakery both in Chinatown and on Argyle. Addictive baked pork buns.
