So I've never been to Homestyle, but since it's more Northern style and based on both your descriptions, I'm guessing what you saw was some type of bao.
Looking at their online menu, my guess is the Homemade Steam Soup Bun (xiaolong tangbao) in their dimsum section. Since it's a type of bao, i'm guessing the skin is a type of mantou, so it's likely thicker and fluffier than the xiaolongbao most of us have eaten.
Could also be the Homestyle Steamed Pork Bun cause the manty I saw from Bamyan are very similar to Northern Chinese style steamed buns.
Next time someone is there, maybe get an order and report back. I'm sure it'll be good regardless.
