Master Critic Review

Fay Da Bakery 7.9
Woodside
A Chinese bakery counter that’s best treated like a grab-and-go pastry stop—one bun, one flaky item, and you’re out. The payoff is variety and convenience; the strongest visits stay focused on the classics instead of trying to sample across too many categories.
