Golden Fung Wong Bakery
“It's a dying breed of old school bakeries where they serve moon cakes and sesame balls filled with red bean paste.”
“Definitely will be back – the sesame balls looked amazing too, and the couple who own the place were really nice.”
“But the bakers here are still doing their thing, especially with the black bean hopia.”

They advertise that they make the best Hopia Mongo and yes, they really do! The first time I ate it I was in NJ @ a mini Asian Mart and I fell in love and have been searching ever since for it. Finally ate one freshly made and wowzer! My husband likes their sweet pork buns, which are also good. Definitely hands down though, that Hopia Mongo is slammin awesome!
I like a good roast pork bun, and that's exactly what I got when I bit into my first bao at Golden Fung Wong Bakery. A lot of times with roast pork buns, there's a lot of bread and not a lot of meat- that's not the case here! The bread was soft, and there was a good ratio of bread to meat. The meat was moist but not saucy. The pork was plentiful and had more of a pulled pork consistency (not to be confused with a shredded pork consistency) instead of the chopped up bits that I'm used to. This was a refreshing change. Speaking of consistency, I do have to knock them on it. While my first roast pork bun was heavenly, the second one I had did not have an even distribution of meat and bread… The first several bites I had was all bread – I was beginning to wonder if there was any meat!
I also had the sponge cake with icing. I've had some really good Asian sponge cakes at other places and was excited to try this one…It was nothing special, I've had better at Asian grocery stores.
This place seems to have a good variety- cookies, moon cakes, sponge cakes, sesame balls, egg tarts- and from what I could tell the prices are pretty cheap. Both the roast pork buns and sponge cake were 90 cents a piece.
Very good. Old school style. Sesame balls, buns, pineapple bread. You name it. Anything you expect from a Hong Kong old street.
Nearly ruined my brother's wedding because they forgot to give us items we paid for. Also took our receipt and yelled at us for not having the receipt (because they took it). Due to Chinese superstition, we're not allowed to raise a fuss. But how dare you, as a business, pull this sort of ridiculousness on a day of someone's wedding?
Don't do business with them.
This place has a good variety of items, but the only things I've tried is the Hopia, which is great! Very fresh with the perfect texture and just the right amount of sweetness. This is a great spot for Hopia, especially since it's a bit hard to find good, fresh varieties. The Mongo was great while the Baboy was really not very good to me…stick with the Mongo and you'll be happy too.
This is a charming old school bakery- the type that grandma will approve. I stopped by here after a late breakfast. The place and its offerings are nostalgic Chinese sweet treats done right.
I got a steamed red bean cake, steamed black sesame cake, and a Jin dui – fried mochi- with red bean filling. $1 each and they were all good. Not sugary sweet and they did not skimp on the ingredients, except for the Jin dui. Red bean filling is there but a little lackluster. No complaints though as the fried mochi has that nice chewy texture unlike some plac s that sells mushy fried mochi.
Next time, I will be sure to try their steamed tAro cake, white sugar cake, and radish cake.
We just tried the cookies here, almond & chocolate chip. Not your typical cookies, more biscuity. Nice and crunchy & good taste of almond. The shop is very authentic which is nice. At $1 each I would go back.
Next time I want to try the black bean moon cake, I missed that one this time!
My sister and I hit this bakery after a great dinner at Wo Hops. This is an old school Chinese bakery. We tried the almond cookies which were right out of the oven. They were absolutely delicious. The other desserts looked good as well, but we were to stuffed from dinner. I'd go back if I go back to Chinatown.
