Translated from 狗不理 (gou bu li) in chinese, the famous establishment dates all the way back to 1858 in Tianjin, China, where it became so popular that its inventor, Gouzi [狗子] which can also mean dog, became too busy to engage in small talk and people started calling him Goubuli 狗不理, or dog ignores. 

 You can try the famous TianJin GouBuLi bun, nothing to shout abt. Their other dishes are very tasty and nice. Love their Roast Pork as its crispy and not oily.

 We tried their famed Goubuli Bun with Meat Filling ($2.20/bun) and the Goubuli Buns with Wagyu and Vegetables Filling ($3.50/bun). Sad to say, their original meat filling bun was a tad disappointing, and did not bring out enough flavour and soupiness as I would have liked.

 

 the bun itself was springy and light, carrying a chewy texture that I liked very much. On the other hand, I loved the bun with Wagyu and Vegetable Fillings. The meat was tasty and tender, and one bite into the bun fills your mouth with a generous amount of filling just right to satisfy your tastebuds.

 Average guiboli baozi. The noodles are above average. Xiao long bao is disappointing. Their red bean pan cake is baked thus it is not oily. However the skin is thicker like a biscuit.
