Chinatown Bakery in City of London, Westminster

The bakery still makes lovely baked goods, in particular the red bean buns. The pandan cake is moist but lacks flavour. it wasn’t always so busy but it is now chaotic inside though they do get quickly through the queue.

Fantastic food and competitively priced.

Fluffy large buns of all flavors, really like this bakery.

Eat it while it's fresh. Then these stuffed fish are not so good anymore. As a sweet spot for a culinary tour of Soho - a good idea.

It’s a small bakery but very busy. I tried their small fish waffle filled with custard and soft serve, and liked it. Made fresh on the go

This place is absolutely amazing. You can get delicious, filling, authentic pastries for 1.50-2 £ a piece. I love coming here.

crowded lil cafe, delicious ice cream taiyaki! the bakery sells other popular chinese pastries as well.

I love this channel! The products are fresh and good. Favorite for custard buns 😍

On Wardour Street, Chinatown, you will find this Bakery with Chinese specialties.

Daylight robbery. We actually feel as though we have been scammed. They charged us £34 for the cake in the picture below. We realised after we got home that it should have been £9 as it is a single lotus cake and not a box. It totally ruined our day. Would not recommend going here.

We got the taiyaki ice cream, bo lo bao, and coconut cream bun. Every was sweet and yummy

Very good Deli Taiyaki with nutella, prepared fresh! Fast service, slightly expeditious..

Small bakery with a lot of fresh items especially ice cream in freshly baked fish waffles. Amazing smell and taste.

I called for a cake order and was rudely dismissed and they cut the phone on me ?

Was really special and has non-forgettable test… What I didn’t like is that I have bought a package of 4 fish’s… when I went out I found only 3 😔😔.. at the same time … the woman there was not friendly at all…

The Taiyaki ice combo was really delicious, 10/10!

Low prices for London, very fair. The food is fresh and so good.

Great place for the tayaki ice cream. I also found chicken carry pan! Which was amazing

Each loaf is basically 1.5 to 3 pounds, and the taste is the same as in China!

+ excellent ice cream and cake + good prices

In Chinatown we find this bakery which is very aesthetically pleasing and full of fantastic packaged and freshly made products. We took a Nutella tayaki, mini cream tayaki, a fluffy cake and a cream bun, all delicious and at low prices. I highly recommend!

Taiyaki ice cream and bakery items from them are superb! Always worth the visit everytime i come to Chinatown.

Right in the centre of Chinatown London. The Mrs dragged me all the way to this spot, and I was not disappointed. We got their Nutella fish cakes, custard fish cakes, and their matcha ice cream. If you want a small treat while going around Chinatown, this is the place.

The cakes might be good but keep the total in your head. My girlfriend got over charged by about £10. Highly unethical or genuine mistake? I'll let you decide!

Great bakery with a nice selection of baked goods. I’d recommend the fish and custard small cakes. Reasonable price and small treat. The best thing is the vanilla fluffy cake. Make sure to stock up on this one! The queues can be long during peak hours like the weekend

Very good bakery (Hong Kong style). Always fresh buns and cakes. We tried the Taiyaki ice crème 👍. And bought a few classics, pineapple bun and custard tart. 🤩

The employees were all friendly, the small taiyaki with custard filling were very good and the price was completely reasonable! Unfortunately, only the ice cream from the filled taiyaki had little taste

Not a bad bakery in the heart of Chinatown in London. Typical Cantonese/Taiwanese type offerings of buns, cakes and other pastries.

Although a small place and very crowded outside as it is at the entrance of Chinatown, the workers are really friendly with everyone and they serve some of the best taiyaki around. I’ve found myself going to them for the 4 mini taiyaki for £2.50 deal time and time again with my friends.

They have stuffed fish, which is a very good waffle type dough.

Great mix ice cream 🍦 The staff are very friendly and the bus are very nice. Best recommendation is custard bun and roasted pork bun.

The mixed ice cream taiyaki was luscious. Also the Chinese roast pork and custard buns were very good too.

The best bakery in Chinatown imo.

Very rude staff. Firstly, staff are not in any uniform, so it's impossible to know who works there. Secondly, nobody explained how to get ice cream and the cashier just pointed to the ice cream machine. I looked at it, figuring out how to use it, and a man standing next to me, started questing me. He never identified himself and gave attitude, in an American/Canadian accent. He asked me if I paid and I replied that I did. A woman then charged towards me, raising her voice at me in front of the whole shop and demanded to know if I paid and to show me the receipt. I tried to locate it. In the end, they repeated I have to let the staff serve the ice cream and I repeated that nobody informed me of this and I was just pointed towards the machine. To note, that the man serving the ice cream, was using his bare hands to touch the Taiyaki. I mentioned the matter to him and there were loud interactions about me between him and the woman in Mandarin. He then used a tissue to hold the I had a small child with me, who it was for. I was very upset for being treated like this and humiliated. Chinese Karen's with no people skills.

Amazing food, lovely value, love the buns and would definitely come back when I’m next down in London!!!

The ice cream was ok, but somehow very runny. Otherwise, pure chaos. The baked goods looked good though.

The taste of the bread and pastries is exactly the same as the bread that you could buy in the old pastry shops near the house when you were young. It is really nostalgic... Whether it is coconut milk, milk king or barbecued pork, the taste is very authentic. And the price is not expensive, it is really worth coming again. For milk tea, I only tried classic milk tea. It tasted like ordinary non-dairy milk tea, but the taste was pretty good. All in all, it is good that this store can provide such products at this location and the price is not high.

They would normally make fresh custard fish shape dessert (Taiyaki) but now they’re always whether warm or cold cause they pre make it and just leave it on the side for convince to sell to customers instead of making them fresh. They charge 4 for £2.50

Tried the matcha ice cream. It was good but not worth the hype. Price is fair though.

Delicious matcha-flavored ice cream served in a soft fish-shaped cake

The ice cream is very tasty and is served in this great fish waffle. A lot of people came here and you should definitely try the ice cream. At £3.60 it's not cheap but it's a good portion size. In addition to vanilla, there is also green tea or the two types mixed.

Incredibly rude staff. I asked which non-meat (vegetarian) bun they recommended and the lady pointed to the chicken & pork ones. So, I grabbed what I thought was a coconut topping one (as it was on that tray and they all look similar) & got to the front and they charged me for a red bean paste one instead- which i was confused and asked about. They told me the one I got was red bean & started yelling and making a big scene- so uncomfortable and rude so i paid for the bun I didn’t want. I had initially asked for their recommendation to avoid that to begin with…

Wonderful tasty Chinese pastries! For a quick snack, I recommend.

I visited this shop yesterday (22/02/2024) since it was recommended to me. When I arrived at the store it was very packed with people, hardly any room to move due to the lack of space! People were squeezing through each other which ended up knocking, pushing and shoving people at one point I was even pushed right up at the screen when I was paying for my Items. When I got to the till I ordered 2 nutella taiyaki, 1 redbean taiyaki and 2 lots of 4 making that 8 small custard taiyaki, the lady took my order and another grabbed my items in bags I had 4 bags. The price for the big taiyaki (nutella and redbean) was £4 then the small taiyaki was 4 for £2.50 which would make the total for my order be £17 but I was charged £18 and on top of that when I left the store I checked my order but was missing the redbean taiyaki!!! I wasn't given a receipt either. It is such a shame as the food is delicious but after the service I received from this store I won't be back!!! What is even more funny is that in the store it has signs about saying be aware of pickpockets yet you! Chinatown Bakery are the THIEF!!!! You charged me more and I didn't even get my purchase!!

Very busy for a small shop but quick service and delicious!

It was a must see in London's Chinatown. The fish are filled with the dough itself, which remains liquid as it is not fully cooked. We liked them :)

There is a very rude lady working there, I think she is the manager of that branch, the branch itself is extremely crowded and do not expect any one to answer your inquiry about some sweets or even to talk to you, if you tried to talk to anyone they most probably answer you in a very weird rude way

We got lost here for Chinese New Year and spontaneously ate a delicious soft ice cream in the fish waffle. I recommend using matcha and vanilla mixed, as matcha alone is very tart.

lovely bakery with a lot of options to buy and so delicious

The small Taiyaki's (4 for £2.50) are amazing and sold fresh out the oven. Quick service!

We tried a couple of sweets and they were all delicious!

Large Taiyaki models with red bean or chocolate, ice creams with fish-shaped cones, mooncakes, brioches and cakes with pandan, sesame, green tea... The welcome, on the other hand, is unpleasant and pressing even when there is no doesn't have many customers.

This a lovely little bakery, very popular and very busy!! The taiyaki are delicious! But the thing that brings me back again and again are the pork buns! Staff are polite and friendly just a cramped shop so you feel you can’t browse for too long.

The green tea ice cream is really unique dessert. The fish shaped cone makes it exciting. Having said that it has bitterness of green tea preserved and it is not for everyone. There is a vanilla option too.

Local de bollería china. No están mal los peces. El relleno de Nutella el mejor

Çok çeşitli ve iştah açıcı tatlılar var ama sıra da çok uzun oluyor.

The only thing that describes my fund to this shop is that whenever I go to London City centre, I will definitely go to this shop and buy a spongy cake (pandan chiffon cake). It costs £2.

Lovely little bakery with amazing food! We first went there to get the small Taiyaki's (4 for £2.50) and they were SO worth the money. We even went back another day we were in town, because we loved them so much, and additionally took some other pastries. Definitely recommended. Do note it can get busy quick, as it's super small, but they handle things pretty quick so a long wait didn't happen.

The bakery items were so fresh and almost every item tasted amazing 😍 . The pandan cakes were incredibly fluffy and perfect. Everything was affordable and good prices for London. No wonder this place is often busy. The ice cream was great but very messy, needed lots of tissue for it.

and pandan cake and raisin sponge cake too, good for when you're homesick for vancouver

One of the best Bakery in the town. Highly recommended friends and colleagues

Really good taiyaki and good chiffon cake

Loads of baked goods to choose from. We bought the custard, red bean and nutella taiyaki(s). Prompt service. Everything was reasonably priced and tasted lovely.

Amazing food at a very reasonable price! Bit of a queue but it cleared very quickly!

Good variety of Chinese bakery goods, cheap enough to be able to try something new.

Their pastries are incredible, and the pandan cake is my favourite - the texture is very fluffy

Everything is so fresh and tastes amazing. Prices are great

Delicious cakes. Try the fish ice cream.

This bakery is almost always very busy but it’s worth the wait. My only concern is the service as I’ve never met any staff smiling or saying a kind “hello”. Shame.

Quick service. Lovely fresh treats. Very good competitive prices which was enticing. I paid £4 for a mixed matcha and vanilla ice cream. Wasn’t keen on the matcha part but that’s down to personal preference. The vanilla is perfect. Will be back to try the cakes, they have so much on offer here!

I always go to the larger Newport place branch. But today, I just happened to visit this one. I haven't been to this shop since their refit. The new shop is far too narrow for customers. It was so packed but their products are, of course, always very good. 3 stars because the young gentleman who was the cashier got somehow impatient while I was ordering some tayaiki ice cream, and he started tapping his nails on the counter as a sign of impatience which I thought was not very professional at aĺl. It is a shame.

Small but with a good variety of things. Some food is pricey some is rather cheap

Fish ice cream is so yummy. The cake was made well. Mini fish filled with delicious ingredients. My new favourite place. Definitely taking my family there for a good treat.

La localización real del famoso pez helado. Un pequeño local con bollería china dónde te será difícil elegir que probar! Nuestra elección fue el mítico helado de pez con bola de vainilla, su sabor muy bueno y refrescante y la masa con una textura crujiente increíble. En nuestro próximo viaje, será parada obligatoria!

Absolutely no plant-based / vegan options whatsoever... While it is so easy to switch eggs and milk in most of the available product recipes. Very disappointed... Staff also quite rude to be honest

Had Taiyaki with Nutella today. Dough was completely raw. First was heartburn and then all sings of food poisoning

Servicio rápido , el helado está rico

The green tea ice cream was so good, and a big portion too.

Amazing buns and bread. A bit crowded but the line is organized and moves quickly

I bought the taiyaki ice cream(macha and also vanilla). I added another one to the bag, I forgot the name, but it was like glutinous flour with coconut desiccant, and the inside had a lovely peanut. It tasted like a similar favourite back home, but here it was bigger. The taiyaki ice cream was there for the taste. The matcha has the right balance of flavour, and the vanilla, I believe, tastes the same as the typical vanilla flavour.

Served quickly for the taiyaki and very tasty , quite a queue to get in shop part , though there's a huge selection to choose from.

Fantastic taiyaki! The matcha ice cream tasted great. Served really quickly too!

Nice taiyaki, but the cashier lady is very grumpy. You can get taiyaki of the same level in other places around Chinatown as well.

The best bakery ever. The peanut butter brioche and the banana bread were delicious.

Très bonne boulangerie chinoise ! Les brioches sont délicieuses pour un prix très raisonnable !

פצצה! קניתי 5 חתיכות עוגות לקחת איתי הביתה לישראל כלכך טעים שאי היה אפשר הייתי קונה מלא כל חתיכה ענקית ורק 1.60 פאונד.. בארץ היה שווה כפול 10 לפחות לחתיכה כזו.. אין איין על הבייקרי הזו וכמובן הדגדגים שלהם- כל ביס תענוג. שלכם, בר אדטו עם ט׳ 🦋

Chinatown Bakery is a hidden gem located in London's bustling Chinatown. While this bakery offers a range of delectable treats, the sponge cakes are the real standout. The sponge cakes at Chinatown Bakery are truly delightful. They're soft, fluffy, and simply melt away in your mouth, leaving a deliciously sweet and satisfying taste. It's hard to stop at just one, as they're just that good. Overall, if you're a fan of sponge cakes, you won't be disappointed by the offerings at Chinatown Bakery. While the bakery may be small and unassuming, the quality of the treats on offer is truly top-notch. If you find yourself in the area, be sure to stop by and try these melt-in-your-mouth sponge cakes for yourself.

Visited on 8 February. As someone who misses South-East Asian flavours and baked goods, I was happy to find out that they sold Pandan Chiffon cakes here! It was super fluffy, moist and delicious. The pandan flavour definitely brought back memories of home for me and I definitely would’ve bought more if I wasn’t living outside of London. I also bought their Plain Pandan Bun which I unfortunately did find a few pieces of egg shell in one of the buns. Not a major flaw but just a note to be cautious. Overall, I would come back for the pandan chiffon cake for sure and maybe I’ll try the taiyaki ice cream parfait when the days are hotter.

Lovely little bakery. They have a nice variety of buns and cakes which are all very delicious. I have also gotten the taiyaki with mixed vanilla and matcha ice cream which was very delicious and affordable.

Best taikayi with nutella ever.

Piccolo angolo di dolcezza, nella caotica chinatown.

Very limited choice, and rude staff.

It's the best bakery in China town 💁🏻‍♂️ The buns are fantastic. But I'd say it's the cakes that give it the edge. As well as those fish shaped pastries.

Bought a passion fruit kinda of spongy cake and a supposedly vanilla flavored roll, they were just tasteless. The roll fills your mouth with fluffy spongy cake filled with cheap cream, 500g of rubbish really. 10 quid in the bin!

One star less cause it’s too pricy, or else their buns are the best! Remember to visit them early if you want to have more deletions. The sesame balls, red bean bun with mochi was simply AMAZING!

Cakes light on their feet with cream filling as clouds. Lovely delicious fresh bakery. Rude nasty weathered staff; incongruous and an awkward mix of the two. Keep the baker and ditch the checker.

Excellent bakery and products in Chinatown. Busy periods be prepared to wait in line though they are super fast. Lots of baked cakes options there fish pan cakes are yum. Located right on the entry in Chinatown this small shop has ample to offer for bake lovers

Was ganz neues, hat super geschmeckt!

It was very busy when I went there and the staff were not very friendly when I needed some help.

The fish cakes taste good however, the staff is very rude. If the staff can't handle the pressure and the attitude please leave. Never ever going back for the service.
