  I'm a fan of this Sheng Kee branch for its convenience as a quick and satisfying lunch stop. The bread here is fine - not mind-blowing, but very, very decent. I would disagree with another reviewer who says the egg tarts are no good... Like their bread, the egg tarts are fine, but they're not the best you'll ever have (for that, you'll need to travel across the bay to Chinatown to go to Golden Gate or one of their neighboring competitors like AA Bakery).
  
  For a quick meal, I'll typically pop in to get one of their packed sandwiches (pretty cheap for something filling and fresh!). The Cranberry & Turkey one is my preferred choice. I'll also get a tiger tea to go ("tiger" means it's a mix of Thai tea and Milk tea) because it's usually super strong and will keep me awake for the rest of the day.
  
  I also like their tea eggs, mostly because I never see anyone actually buy them except for myself... and so the eggs (they are hard-boiled and steeped in a savory tea mixture for hours) sit in the pot and become quite strongly-flavored. :) Yum. 2 for $1.75, though sometimes they go on promotion.

  I like to come and buy a bun in the afternoon. It is tasty and very cheap for Berkeley. Very conveniently located. The staff works so fast that I never waste my time in lines here. :)
