Queen Bakery
“They have breakfast and during my visits there, a lot of people opted for wontons, noodles, and so on.”
“I was actually on my way to see my #1 for pork buns, Manna House, when I decided to do a back to back comparison.”
“It's a small place with tight areas for seating but they do have 3 tables and if you're alone, it's not a bad spot to have a quick lunch.”

Not a huge fan of their bread, but their chao shao bao (BBQ bun), which is what this 4/5 star is sitting on, is really good compared to a lot of places. There's ample filling and the breading isn't too thick. Cheap breakfast? I'm down.
I love this small place sells bread, noodles. They bake bread everyday- very fresh! per my hubby- it is the best pork bun. I like their plain sweet bread and some has sweet custard inside. I tried their noodle for the first time the other day – not recommend it. The name is 'queen bakery'- just stay with bread. =)
One con is the servers English is very limited. It is good for my Chinese practice!
I usually stop by here for their great lunch items. Not only do they sell the usual buns, tarts, pastries, and beverages but they also have rice and noodles.
Majority of their menu is priced around $4.50 or $5 and you get a good decent amount of food with meat and vegetables. I always get their noodle soup because it's so satisfying. They make their fish balls in-house and you can definitely taste the difference in quality and texture. Their wonton is great also, filled with meat fillings and shrimp with a thin layer of wonton skin. My favorite is the wonton and fishball noodle soup which has 3 fishballs and 3 wontons along with 3 small stalks of "you choi" aka a type of Chinese cabbage and lets not forget the noodles for just $4.50. You can't really find this anywhere else for cheap.
It's a small place with tight areas for seating but they do have 3 tables and if you're alone, it's not a bad spot to have a quick lunch. The staffs are quick and nice.
Always a fan of Chinese bakeries, I stopped in looking for a pork bun but discovered so much more.
They have juicy little dumplings ($1.50 for 6) made fresh in house that serve as the perfect snack while waiting for one of their noodle soups or banh mi around the corner.
The noodle soups are amazing. For roughly $5, you get 2 lbs of soup. I'm a big fan of the fish ball and wonton. The fishballs are almost fluffy and the wontons are plump and juicy.
They throw in some vegetables as well, so it's not all carbs and sodium. Definitely the most satisfying $5 meal I've had.
Their bread is all fresh & I like how Queens Bakery also have a menu for soup noodles and other cooked good like fried dumplings and rice. I always come here for the plain soup wonton which is $5. The wonton is made with pork and shrimp and the soup there is also vegetables along with the plain soup base. It may be a small bakery but the service is good and the food is good!
Friend I was meeting for a LES food crawl reviewed this place earlier for it's cha siu bao, so I had to come here and see for myself. She's not elite so I was anticipating I'd have to educate her on the awesomeness that is Mei Lei Wah's top bao. Anyhow, true to her word the bao had a lot of meat: good meat to bun ratio. It's equally as fatty as Mei Lei Wah's but I had a small piece of cartilage in my bao. The real negative thing is that it was room temperature. I'd pay the 5 cents more for Mei Lei Wah for the bao.
Nothing more than a hole in the wall offering you poorly made Chinese breakfast food. If value is your primary concern and you want to score cheap fried noodles or oily lo mein, then by all means. Otherwise, you can ignore this spot completely. Higher quality bakeries are all around, and if you are going to be Yelping for breakfast options there really is nothing to see here.
The homies in Chinatown sure know how to keep their secrets. It's a good thing I have the bottomless belly and big ears and a network of foodies in the know for scouting out their secrets. Queens Bakery is one of those bakeries that have a hidden menu and either you know it or you are bereft. At lunch this tiny spot that has cramped seating for 10 transforms into a lunch spot featuring wonton, dumpling and fishball soups that are the bomb. But this is no fast food joint, waits for the lunch soups here can be 10 minutes and up..though being elbow to elbow with your neighbor will have you eating your lunch fast. The chef takes his time, to cook his soups with love. It shows in the tasty homemade dumplings, in the irregularly shaped fish balls, in his tasty broth generously topped with crunchy vegetables. Nothing is over $5 for lunch. And when lunch is over, lunch is over. The chef cooks a certain amount of lunch meals for the day and that's it. So don't come here at 4 expecting your wonton noodles. The Man has already retired for the day.
The pastries here rock too. For some reason, they are a notch better than your average Chinatown pastries. The Malay cake I bought, $3 for a pack, was moist and had a thin ayer of cream that was divine. The Portuguese sponge cake, eggy and airy.I haven't tried them all yet but plan to try some of the sweet breads and the steamed buns…something tells me this chef who cooks his soups with such love will pour the same attention into his buns. Oh yum…..
