I stopped by in a desperate need for a hot lemon and honey drink. Service was quick, price was reasonable, environment looked clean, pastries and bread was tempting but I was determined. I got my drink, it soothed my throat so thumbs up.
1) I wish their space wasn't so cramped,
2) I wish the server didn't just rudely snatch the throng and the tray from my hands (cos I thought it was self-serve),
3) I wish the lines could be more orderly (she SKIPPED my strawberry milk tea order!)
4) I wish my tea didn't taste so watery
The dim sum shelf has pretty good stuffs though
I came here to get some buns before my Cantonese class on a Saturday morning/early afternoon. Complete disappointment as they lack variety of different buns that Fay Da and Taipan Bakery has. They didn't have the usual Cha Sui Bao either the baked or steam ones either. It's a small bakery with not too many choices.
I believe it's your typical mom and papa of the elder generation.
A good spot to get a late evening egg tart. I had a mango bun of some sort that was outstanding and just oozing with mango bits. I'm getting a ton of them for my next party. And they are open on Thanksgiving!
When you enter from the Bowery side, there's a wall of pastries but heads up: this is not a self-serve place! You tell the server what you want and she'll grab and bag it for you.
Prices are standard, $0.80 to $1 for a bun, but I wasn't impressed with what I tried. The chestnut bun had unreasonably little filling. The red bean bun was decent, but nothing to write home about.
There is a small selection of dim sum at this bakery and it's inexpensive. It's a good option if you need something quick. Quick inexpensive dim sum is the way to go for me.
There are a few tables and seats to enjoy your purchases.
The large log of Lemon Swiss Roll is just $5 but it needs more lemon curd in the roll. It really lacks filling.
They're a bit on the small side, but they had egg tarts when I wanted them. Not as golden or flaky as others, but they weren't bad. They also have these sun-cake like pastries that I'm still going to try. We'll see… the clientele are mostly Chinatown denizens and they spoke Cantonese to me, even though I spoke Mandarin to them.
They were in need of some cleaning.
As me and the boyfriend wander around New York's Chinatown…we decided to stop by this bakery to get some egg tarts and other goodies for our flight back to Atlanta. We end up getting the following:
-3 egg tarts (.80cents each)
-1 sticky rice (around 2$)
-1 fried dumplings with pork inside (1.50$)
-2 sesame balls (1$ each)
Everything tasted pretty average….nothing really stood out. When we are back in town…we will try another bakery.
Service was nice though! 🙂
