Chinatown Bakery - Gerrards Corner in City of London, Westminster

We enjoyed the taiyaki - custard filled dough fish that are cooked on the spot in front of you at the window and served hot. These are genuinely tasty little snacks, and at £2.50 for 4 it seemed decent value too. We also picked up a couple of things from inside the bakery. I tried the chicken spring onion floss roll, but hands up I wasn't keen - the tastes were a bit beyond my pallet.

Investir dans une belle machine automatisée à Taiyaki est une chose mais, vu la qualité des ingrédients utilisés et surtout à la médiocre crème anglaise? Pâtissière? En poudre? De la pire qualité....On peut penser que les clients payent encore l'amortissement du prix de la machine. La pâte à gaufre qui forme l'extérieur des petits poissons ne rattrape rien non plus... Ce n'est pourtant pas très compliqué de réussir une pâte digne de ce nom mais là encore le goût imite à 100% l'industriel ... Le tout a fini à la poubelle.....

Sono stato in questa pasticceria con la mia ragazza in occasione di una vacanza a Londra. Il locale si trova, come suggerito dal nome, all'interno di Chinatown. Vengono venduti molti dolci colorati sia da consumare all'interno sia da asporto. Noi abbiamo preso dei pesciolini di pasta che vengono cotti al momento grazie a degli stampi tipo quelli dei waffle. C'è un piccolo banchetto fuori dall'ingresso che vende questi dolcetti che ho trovato molto buoni ed economici. La fila per prendere questi pesciolini è sempre nutrita ma scorre velocemente.

I have seen this bakery on tiktok but it’s very overrated. The buns we bought did not taste fresh at all, as if it was made over night. Had hair in two of the buns I bought. Went as a family and thought I’d try something new but was very disappointed with the experience. Especially as staff was extremely rude. They seemed to be rushing because had got overcharged if I didn’t check.

Do no come here. They are super rude. When restocking got pushed out the way not once, not twice, but four times. And they didn’t even say “excuse me” before trying to get their way around. Buns were average.

A Chinese friend of our daughter had recommended this bakery. And now we know why! We bought rolls to eat on our arrival in China Town and moon cakes to eat later. Recommended!

One of the better bakeries in London's Chinatown as their products were fresh and tasty. We got the roast port bun, the coconut bun and the egg tarts. All were flaky and tasty, and priced right. The lines were long the day we went but now we know why. Not a large spacious place, so look quickly for what you want or you will get passed by when ordering. There are 2 locations it seems and both had lines so this must be where a lot of locals grab and go.

Oo boy long line to.get in .but was well worth it. The bakery.is always clean staff our fast at tills.and the baked goods our so so yummy light fluffy and tasty.love this Chinese bakery

Excellent cakes. Triangle cake Soft and lots of bounce. The fish chocolate is okay. Not worth the money. Roast pork soft and pork is lovely. Egg custard it's really tasty.

Rude service and £4 for a cold ad stale takoyaki way too expensive and utter rubbish. When I complained the sour faced woman at the counter heisted to apologise and said you took a bite out of it. How in the world are you able to make any judgement unless you take a bite! When I told her it was cold and stale she muttered an insincere apology. Shame on the service and trying to coy or con tourists.

We watched the lady preparing the teriyaki through the shop window. We already knew we were getting some of these; 4 for £2.50. Surprised to see it wasn’t £2.50 each. Lots of other baked goodies available in the small store. All the ladies serving and baking were friendly. The teriyaki themselves were beautifully tasty! A must on every visit to Chinatown.

A good variety of baked goods, I had the pinapple bun with pork filling, the chicken floss garlic roll, a bean pasted bun, and a custard bun. They were good, the buns were fluffy. Very cramped space, but would definitely go again.

Outstanding. Particular favourites are the roast pork pineapple bun, banana dessert with pandan or red bean, and the snowballs. But pretty much everything here is great. One word of caution - the whole area is a magnet for pickpockets, so make sure to secure your belongings while you carry your tray around. On my last visit there was a security guard there, so extra marks to the owners for addressing this. We go almost every time we're in the area, and will continue to do so.

I saw this place on tiktok so decided to go and see what it’s like! Prices were great and the green lotus and peanut butter cakes were particularly good really squishy and soft. Nice to go somewhere that’s a bit of a novelty and different, experience different cultures and for sensible prices.

Me encantan los pececitos de crema, se llaman Taiyaky y están deliciosos. Los van haciendo al momento y están rellenos de crema.

Best pork buns and floss rolls the cakes were good, but I mostly stuck to the savory stuff. The buns stay fresh for a couple of days it stored well

Bought 5 items which came to £8.90. Prices are affordable and items are sizeable. Overall, delicious and worth checking out.

Enjoyed a takeaway cocktail bun and egg tarts on my visit to Chinatown one February evening. The quality was good and decent value. The shop was busy on a Sunday evening with the freshly made treat being served out the window. Inside the shop, there's plenty of choice. Enjoy!

We came here on a whim whilst walking through Chinatown and I’m so glad we did. The smell inside the shop is just unreal, the goods are a decent price and so delicious, and the staff are delightful. Absolutely recommend.

Really delicious 😋, we all got yummy items and for a great price especially considering this is in London. Definitely recommend 👌

I’ve never had the little fish shape custard filled donuts before. Oh my, I could have eaten loads of them. Served from the window. What a fabulous place China town is

Fresh cream filled teriyaki from the Bakery window is simply divine. Fresh and hot... really hot! 2 pounds for 3 pieces. They do take cards, but not American Express. Yummy treat!

Visited today and bought the red bean paste, sesame ball and a pandan cake. Pandan cake was good, but the sesame ball was hollow! Was not amused!!! Pictures below.

I have been missing out!! This place is great, lots of fresh items to choose from - savoury and sweet. I went for the roast pork bun which was absolutely delicious and the pandan which was sweet soft perfection. Very reasonably priced, good service. A...

Always the best in Chinatown! Can't beat the bakery here! It's definitely my favourite! The price is reasonable with lots of selections!

Not impressed. Bread were ok. It’s the soft, Asian type of bread that’s common found in local bakeries in Southeast Asia countries.

We stopped here for lunch treats & it offered a really good range. Well priced and easy to select items. Would recommend.

This is a really fun experience that should be tried when visiting London. There is a very wide range of buns and cakes, but I recommend the pork bun and the green Pandan cake.

We loved it here. We grabbed a lot of different buns (pineapple bun, pork bun and the sausage one) and they were all very tasty and not very expensive. It's a great thing to have in the middle of the day or even as breakfast....

This bakery is amongst my childrens favourite places!!! Whenever we are in the area this is THE place we visit every single time. There is a wide variety of delicious buns and cakes to choose from - savoury and sweet. I love the coconut buns,...

The products in the bakery is good, but the staff in the store is super rubbish, firstly they need to think about to change the plate in order to avoid customers drop the bakeries, and the staff use a really arrogant and annoying attitude to...

green tea red bean bun 8/10 - it has mochi inside!! custard bread 7.5/10 - tastes very milky but good red bean bun - 7.5 - good but untraditional in its twisted roll shape? i prefer the traditional type raisin steamed bread - 10/10, SO...

He estado aquí un par de veces ya y los bollos y bizcochos están buenísimos. Recomiendo sobre todo el bollo...

Called to check they were open before traveling and had the phone slammed down, so quite rude, but the baked goods themselves are wonderful.

Monday 24th August 2020 This is my 'good-to' shop for bakeries when I'm in the area. It is a 'no-frills' bakery. You 'get in and get out' type of shop. Select what you want, pay and go. Very simple.

Si presenta la perfección, comerciará para siempre. La ensalada de jamón Mrs Belfields Vienna es la verdadera perfección con un excelente pan horneado a diario. Mrs be también tiene una magnífica variedad de pan y pasteles horneados en el lugar.La tienda es un gran activo comunitario y un centro local. Si alguna vez estás en la zona, no lo dejes pasar.El acceso a las actualizaciones de Covid se gestiona cuidadosamente y hay desinfectante de manos disponible

We were in London to catch the Harry Potter play in the Palace Theatre nearby so decided to have a wander down Chinatown. This please was high on our list of places to visit having seen the Instagram photos and videos people post of the various items they sell.It did not disappoint! There was a large selection of things on offer and we tried several of them including the curry stuffed buns, mooncakes and the chicken floss buns which were amazing. The prices are very reasonable and it's a good place if you want a quick cheap bite to eat.

Chinese pastries are delicious. They’re much lighter and not as rich or heavy. I wish there was one local to me. Every time I’m in Chinatown I have to stop by and get some . The staff are friendly and the bakery is clean.

So so yummy. Love everything there. Really fresh. Happy customer here. Have to stop everytime we go to london.

We always visit here for our fill on the custard fish (taiyaki)! Always freshly cooked and very moorish! The other items in store always look very good and tempting but the custard fish always win for us!

Nel bella e movimentata Chinatown londinese, questo forno è un ottimo posto dove fermarsi per uno spuntino o un pranzo take away. La scelta ė ampia, dal salato al dolce, dalle cose più normali alle più stravaganti. Tutto a un buon prezzo...

I do like Chinese bakeries and this is a good one. Great selection of buns and cakes. I had a very nice cheese and sausage bun and a very creamy custard bun. Not expensive and would go again

Saturday 18th January 2020 This is my 'good-to' shop for bakeries when I'm in the area. It is a 'get in and get out' type of shop. Select what you want, pay and go.

Very rude girl working at the cashier,seems like she was force working at the counter may be? Put me off !!

今日下午去那邊，一個60多歲扎著低馬尾的很醜的女店員接待。我以前去過很多次，沒有見過她。態度很不好，一個勁兒在那裡說很煩很煩，大大的嗓門，滿臉兇樣子，很不耐煩，素質很低。這種態度拉低了整個唐人街香港人的形象！真是丟臉！

The Chinatown bakery is a wonder. They have tons of excellent savory and sweet options, much of it dim sum. Stuffed buns. Sweet buns. Wonderful baked "fish" with custard, hot from the grill. The place is a bit insane, with lines of folks fighting for the best bread and sweets, but it's worth it. I wish they had a place to sit and enjoy the food, but the bakery is one of the best places in Chinatown.

It was a pleasure to visit the Chinatown bakery in London, but your service attitude made me refuse to come back a third time!!!!!!

Ich bin ein großer Fan von chinesischen Gebäck. Zum Glück habe ich den Laden in London’s Chinatown gefunden.

Good products but awful customer service. They are lucky to have a the shop in the center of London otherwise with this customer service they would closed the shop several years ago.

Compré el taiyaki de vainilla, pero me decepcionó un helado agrio y suave. Hablé con el personal que lo rechazó, que probó un lote nuevo y dijo que estaba bien. Rechazaron un reemplazo o reembolso. Nunca compraría desde aquí otra vez, recomendaría pastelería maravillosa a la vuelta de la esquina. Mucho mejor.

Caminamos por Chinatown ayer y compramos diferentes bollos salados y dulces. Mi marido fue gritado por la anciana detrás de la caja porque no vio y usó la bandeja para recoger la masa. Quiero decir que los bollos en sí mismos son agradables y dignos de probar, pero los cajeros fueron extremadamente hostiles con los clientes y no nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos.

La tienda está muy llena y ruidosa. Los cajeros son muy agresivos y parecen enojados o molestos todo el tiempo. Solo quieren que pagues y te vayas. Habría gastado más dinero y habría vuelto si hubieran tenido una sonrisa en la cara. Compré los peces taiyaki que no parecían frescos, el helado se veía bien pero no quería volver después de tratar con la gente miserable. Algún critisismo constructivo: contrate personal nuevo que se enfrente al cliente para tomar el dinero de la gente, preferiblemente aquellos que saben sonreír y tratar a los clientes con respeto.

A sweet light bread with a tasty salty meat inside...

La masa de todos los bollos es increíblemente esponjosa. Una pasada esta repostería, de verdad. Probadlo, que esto no se ve en España.

Passed through Chinatown on my way to a Comic Shop nearby and I had previously seen Chinatown Bakery on Tripadvisor and saw the prices on the pictures and thought wow that's really cheap. So took my chance to pop in on my way back from the Comic Shop as it was not open when I first past it.

Ci siamo ritornati dopo 3 anni,l'ho trovato sempre più fornito e sempre molto molto buono...ho preso il melonpan con gelato al macha davvero tutto eccellente

El helado de Macha está en todas partes en estos días y había oído hablar de un lugar en Nueva York que vende el helado en un cono con forma de pez. Bien. . . . ¡Estaba caminando por China Town el otro día y oye que lo vendían aquí! Tuvimos que probar uno. El cono en forma de pez es la textura de un gofre crujiente. Teníamos el helado de sabor mixto, que era macha y vainilla. La textura es muy parecida al Sr. Whippy. No me importó el sabor pero tampoco me gustó. Probablemente no lo tendría de nuevo, ¡pero fue divertido comer helado de un cono en forma de pez!

倫敦唐人街內的中式餅店，門外人龍長，等了五分鐘才能入內。餅店內環境狹窄、服務員態度不大友善。大部份中式麵包每個一英鎊多到兩英鎊多。外帶了菠蘿飽、义燒飽和腸仔飽，隔天焗爐焗熱後麵包還外軟、餡料也不少，水準不錯。

Mi hija y yo estábamos buscando, matando el tiempo. La pantalla de la ventana nos atrajo y luego pareció grosero no comprar pastel!

This was very busy when I went Friday Evening. They did fish shaped fresh custard filled pastry 4x £2. You pay at the counter and collect. It was very hot so don’t burn your tongue like me

Entrati per caso e beh,un piccolo paradiso,moltissima scelta,avrei preso duemila cose, prezzi un po' altini ma ci sta per la zona e città in cui è

usually shop for these buns in another local bakery, but opted for this one this time, Fantastic, great choice, fresh and lovely, all our favorites, took a massive box home, will last 2-3 days at home with out refrigeration, pricing around £1.30 a bun, big size too.

Cozy little shop. Always many customers. A lot of good bread and cakes with different contents. Been here many times. Good taste.

A fantastic place to grab some Chinese snacks whenever in Chinatown of London. I love to come here and stock up on a few days worth of baked goods whenever I visit the area. There's often long queues and can be a bit frustrating waiting to pay, but that's down to it's popularity.

We have been here several times to pick bread and buns, authentic, freshly baked, fair priced(for London).

Il y a pas mal de monde mais ça va assez vite.

Chinatown Bakery es una de las primeras tiendas que ves cuando llegas desde Leicester Square. El parking del barrio chino está enfrente. Usted puede encontrar una amplia gama de bollos y pasteles salados y dulces. Estos incluyen los rellenos de atún, pollo, curry y cerdo en hojaldre y bollos tipo brioche. También hay bollos estilo teriyaki y dulces chinos como tartas de crema, bollos de coco, pandan y pasteles de loto. Solo toma una bandeja y pinzas y elige tu selección. Nuestros favoritos son los bollos de cerdo, tanto los rollos blandos como las versiones de pastelería. Es un buen lugar para tomar un refrigerio para llevar, y los precios son buenos con bollos a partir de los 2 años. Es efectivo solo para pedidos menores de 10 y no aceptan American Express, sino que aceptan otras tarjetas.

Been in the UK for 5 months now and I must say that this is a great visit when I stumbled upon it in London. A good HK-style bakery that was immensely crowded that people were lined up to outside when I was there. Good bites here include the egg tart, sesame ball and the dough fritter (you tiao).

I have been coming here for a long time and I have to say I have been happy with the food itself. However the staff behind the till are always rude.

They are so rude particularly the old one. I saw her shouting a girl the other day because she didn’t use the tray. She only picked up a cupcake and it has paper wrapped around it!! FFS!

My usual go to bakery place in Chinatown. This time I got some egg tarts as well in addition to my usual buns. Both were fresh and delicious. Can't go wrong getting baked goods from here.

服务员态度差劲，对亚洲顾客非常粗鲁，没有原因的大吼大叫，为唐人街餐馆的质量感到担忧，不能因为一个老鼠屎坏了一锅汤吧。好奇为什么还会有人去吃？并且根本不算好吃！

I have been here for a couple of times, because of their custard bun which serves fresh. The aroma floats around the area. The service is not friendly at all. Even one time, they give me the change by throwing it. And talk rudely to the customers who are not oriental. Would never coming back again after that.

Ces petits beignets remplis de crème sont très addictifs à la fois par le goût et aussi par leur fabrication. On se régale en les mangeant et en regardant la machine fonctionner ! 2£ les 4 ! Sans oublier les autres pâtisseries notamment les brioches !

あんぱん、ソーセージパン、チャーシューパンなども買いましたが、カップケーキという名のカップシフォンケーキがふわふわ、なめらかで美味しかったです。

Roast pork BBQ buns, chicken floss rolls, banana bread = top notch.

Première découverte des pâtisseries chinoise, je me suis rendu ici car celle ci est très réputée et je dois dire que je valide les avis positifs, les buns sont super bons, il y a pas mal de choix et ils sont bien garnis à l’intérieur, les taiyaki sont à ne pas manquer également, ceux à la crème anglaise sont excellent mais également ceux à la pâte d’haricots rouge que j’ai trouvé encore meilleur. Ne pas hésiter à y aller pour ne pas perdre trop de temps entre deux visites sans dépenser trop d’argent car c’est pas cher.

went there this evening not that late but they had hardly any stock. although I can't complain about what they sell as all their cakes and buns are of an excellent quality. the issue was their queuing system. sadly a lot of our overseas folk haven't got a scooby! they were rude pushing in and ignorant. I am also not in their dictate that you must spend at least £10.00 to use any form of card. this is unnecessary as all shops I've used take card payment for any amount mid rating is for the shops money making scheme for those using plastic

Estuvimos este fin de semana en Londres y visitando Chinatown por la tarde descubrimos por casualidad esta pastelería... que no os podéis perder si vais por allí. Todo tiene pintaza pero lo que nosotros probamos fueron los taiyakis, esos bollos con forma de pez que son típicos de Japón. lo probamos relleno de nutela y...diosss... para chuparse los dedos. La masa es como de gofre y no puede estar más rico!

Toevallig deze bakery ontdekt toen we in China Town wandelden. Voor de venster maken ze verse visjes in deeg met een gele crème erin. Heerlijk ! Zeker als ze nog een beetje warm zijn.

Pequeña pastelería muy concurrida con unos pasteles y bollos de muchas clases y a cual más apetitoso. Son típicos unos peces que van haciendo al momento hechos con una especie de masa de goffre y con un relleno de crema. Muy ricos.

Various fillings. Very good value. Really enjoyed a variety of buns. Bean curd and green tea were favourites as well as custard. Recommended.

Looking for a quick snack before a comedy show. I was in the mood for a pork bun. I found that and much more here. A continuous line of customers and the staff were restocking the shelves with fresh baked goods. I saw about 12 things I want to try, so repeat visits will be in order!

I came here and there was a big queue. The were selling 4 mini cakes shape of fish for £2.00. The taste was great and hot.

Love Chinese bakery products! Super soft bread with different sweet and savoury flavours! So hard to decide which one to eat. Super busy shop and remember to bring cash with you. I felt it was on the pricey side and also overheard someone saying they have just put the prices up.

Great selection of oriental pastries (mainly Cantonese). Some prices have increased recently, which is a bit disappointing, but still good noms. It’s often ram packed, to the point where it’s hard to move around the shop, so try to go outside meal times, if possible. I really enjoy the egg tarts, coconut tarts, bbq roast pork buns (good size and decent amount of filling!), chicken floss rolls with spring onion (looks like a savoury Swiss roll). The banana loaf is also moist and yummy. I’m not so fond of the “cream” buns as the cream isn’t fresh cream. Most other items are ok. The staff are honest and super-efficient and pack your items nicely. I always have to pop in if I’m in the area.

This review is purely based on comparing it to similar shops around the area.

This was recommended to us as the best bakery in China and how right they were. I think the price is slightly more per bun but the quality is very good as well as the variety available. The only thing I was disappointed with was that I did not get a box for my buns so they got a bit squashed in my bag on the way home. If you buy 3 Krispy Cream donuts, you get it in a box. That is why I was disappointed for not getting one here. But it is a minor point.

We visited this little bakery twice during our stay. Got some eggtarts and different pastries and the taiyaki ofcourse. It wasn't expensive at all. Really tasty as well. Friendly people work here as well.

Conocíamos China town pero nunca habíamos entrado y ésta vez nos llamó el olor que desprendía el local. Bollos y pasteles con una pintaza pero lo que realmente nos encantó fueron los pastelillos con forma de pez. Deliciosos!

We were wandering around in Chinatown and came across this bakery. Took a look inside and saw a large variety of Chinese buns, cakes and pastries, together with the egg waffles that I remember eating while growing up in Hong Kong. We purchased a variety of buns and pastries. All were fantastic. Genuine Chinese bakery goods. Prices were very reasonable. Would definitely good back.

Nunca había entrado a una pastelería china hasta el momento, me parece maravillosa; el sitio en si no tiene mucha atracción salvo por una máquina que ves desde el escaparate que elabora unos pececillos que están deliciosos! El resto de bollería, pasteles y tartas están espectaculares. 100% recomendable aunque solo sea por tomar unos peces!

Ma per tradizione dovrebbero abbassare certi prezzi. La bakery cinese è anche questo, economico ma sostanzioso e semplice

La machine est une animation à elle toute seule. J'ai bien du passer 1h devant avec mini me: regarder la machine, acheter des Taiyaki, les manger en regardant la machine, en racheter encore, etc, etc.

While wandering Chinatown, we decided to try some take-away buns from the Chinatown Bakery. Everything looked so delicious in the display cabinets so we selected some pork buns and curry chicken buns. They were okay but not quite as good as we can get at home near Washington DC.

Nice place to get Chinese baked goods in the heart of Chinatown in London. Plenty of choice of freshly baked goods with sweet and savoury fillings. Only slight annoyance is the lack of drinks for purchase to wash down the food.

I stumbled across this place the first day I arrived in London. After that first visit, I made sure I went back at least once a day the whole time I was there. The pastries are amazing and reasonably priced.

Missing your Asian type bread? This is the place to go. Good variety, freshly baked, opens till late.

Siendo parte de China he tenido la suerte de probar productos chinos panadería en la madre patria. Este lugar es una joya escondida en Londres. A un precio muy razonable puedes conseguir todos sus favoritos - Flan de huevo de bollos de piña, tartas y el rollo más deliciosa comida china en Suiza. Me encantó el hecho de que era muy típico de China a medida una bandeja y agarrando las tenazas y elegir lo que queríamos.

It is so reasonably priced & there is always a wide & varied selection of items available. I would recommend if you want a quick snack as it’s so central, service is quick & you’re not going to find taste wise!
