Chinatown Bakery in City of London, Westminster

this sweet treats were pretty good and a great way to end China town food crawl.

Pastries and bread are really great. I got the pandan loaf and it’s amazing. They even had announcements that were in Tamil and to seemed so inclusive! Love it!

I tried the chiffon vanilla Cake. AMAZING! I can’t wait to be back at London to visit Chinatown Bakery again! 2.20£ each!

Lovely food at a reasonable price.

The selection of pastries is really impressive and tastes excellent - everything I tried was delicious. However, the store is quite narrow and small, which means it quickly becomes crowded, especially at peak times. The prices are sometimes quite high, which may not please everyone. The cashiers seem rushed, which may be due to the hectic pace. Great baked goods, but the ambience cannot be described as nice.

Just don't go here. There's not even a place to throw away the trash

You have to try it and super cheap prices for expensive London

We went there for the viral desserts! Didn't disappoint! The chinese ladies are really funny, too! 🤣

Quick stop at the bakery: freshly made mini waffles, but nothing really special. Good for a quick break in Chinatown, 4 for £3.

Fast and efficient staff, good food. Great for quick snack on the go!

The perfect dessert after something salty. A large selection of desserts, so everyone will choose something for themselves. Very nice service. I recommend a set of 4 fish and a fish with Nutella. Everything is served warm, making eating even more enjoyable. 🤤 I highly recommend it! 🤍☺️

I enjoyed trying new things at the Chinatown bakery. I tried the coconut roll which was my favourite, alongside the Pandan cake. The chicken floss cake was interesting - my partner loved this. I’d have loved to have a custard bun or pastry but they ran out. The only thing I would say to improve is that the trays and tongs need wiping down and cleaning more regularly. The staff are extremely friendly and kind, made the end experience lovely. We got around 4 or 5 things and paid around £10 or just over. Good value.

A very popular and busy bakery . Lots of sweet and savoury options available. From the classic red bean bun to huge slices of sponge cake . At peak times the queues can get long so it's worth trying to plan a visit around quieter periods . It's good value and inexpensive. Recommended

Unfortunately I don't have photos because we devoured everything immediately. We had delicious coconut and cream buns and rice cakes, everything was fresh and fluffy. I had to go back and buy more. Just yum! I loved that it's self service and there was no queue.

The fish available here is not a large number, but their semi-automatic frying system is quite delicious and interesting.

I tried the fish with the custard. Very mild taste. Not my cup of tea. I would prefer it sweeter. I also tried the green cake. Very fluffy with a coconut taste. I ate it for the fluffiness!

Some great new items, fast efficient service. Keep moving and be mindful of others.

In Chinatown. Typical Chinese sweets and bread.

I loved the mini crème taiyaki! It was served hot and absolutely delightful.

Very busy, but very cheap. Service as nice as can be, 4 lovely Taiyaki / custard puffs for £2.50. Luvvly jubbly !!!!!

Came here on Saturday for the first time after seeing the raving reviews on tiktok. I tried the Small Taiyaki fish with custard fillings 4 for £2.50 and they were delicious! The filling wasn’t runny it was more solidified and had a custardy/vanilla taste to it. Highly recommend ordering this so worth it and so cheap! My friend ordered the Deli Taiyaki - Nutella for £4.50 and this was delicious too! It had a crunchier bite to it whereas the mini taiyaki had a soft bite. Both were delicious, great service and good prices. Definitely recommend visiting. There were lots of other delicious baked goods in the store that I will be going back to try. I also had a yakult yogurt drink for i think 70p and that was tasty and refreshing.

I was shocked at how cheap this was. I got 4 buns/cakes for £8.50. The staff were really friendly. The coconut bun was my stand out fave. So fluffy and light. The Pandan wasn’t quite to my taste but it was so cheap that I was happy to give it a go. Would definitely recommend giving it a go

The custard fish things are fuken brilliant, poor lady in the window looks like she’s been working all day but she still smiles. Everything is cheap as well as expected but much appreciated

A very popular place but I would say it’s worth the hype. A huge variety of interesting cakes, buns and treats at very reasonable prices. I got the pandan cake and it was incredibly light, fluffy and tasty. The queue moves pretty quick in a grab as you queue style. Definitely worth trying out a few treats here! Be careful: the freshly made custard taiyaki at the exit is incredibly hot inside. Even after 5mins, the custard is scolding hot!!!

Small oriental bakery with a wide selection of typical desserts that until now I had only seen in videos and anime! All delicious and different from usual. Always fresh products.

Freshly made sweet taiyakis. They are very good. Recommended 💯x💯

It's worth waiting in line to try these pastry-stuffed fish.

Visit everytime I come to Chinatown, great selection of sweet/savoury buns. Unavoidable busy atmosphere

May whoever makes the fluffy vanilla cakes have their booty ate amen

The store has a really popular ice cream that I haven't tried yet because the line is usually pretty long. The line for the ice cream is separate from the one for the pastries (you have to pay inside the store first). They have a huge selection of pastries and my favorite is the roasted pork bun! Yummm😋

Quite overrated for the price , they don’t provide receipts which is annoying and overcharged me 😡

I love this place it’s my childhood bakery been going here for over 15years. Pandan cream cake amazing love it 😍😍 I can eat the whole thing without feeling sickly Coconut mochi was so good can’t go wrong with it. BBQ pork bun is a must you have to get it it’s the best thing ever ❤️ Egg tart isn’t like how they used to make it I wouldn’t by it again isn’t nice anymore.

very cheap but also super crowded

The custard filled taiyaki are to die for and only £2.50 for 4 they're so worth it. The batter is so light and fluffy, while the custard is sweet and moreish. Definitely recommend, the staff are just so lovely too.

Authentic chinese baked goods! Just like the ones in NY.

It's not good and it's expensive. They look like industrial products. I should have looked at the composition before buying, it's full of additives.

Great place to try some new backery.

As a dessert lover, I couldn’t resist trying the custard buns and chiffon cakes in Central London China Town—and they didn’t disappoint! The custard buns were incredibly soft and fluffy, with a creamy filling that wasn’t overly sweet, making them absolutely perfect. Just make sure to peel off the outer layer of the custard bun before enjoying the creamy goodness inside! The chiffon cake was light, spongy, and melted in my mouth with every bite. Both were vegetarian-friendly, which is a huge plus! The best part? Everything was super affordable—I got these delicious treats for under £10. However, I was disappointed when I asked for tissues and was told they didn’t have any. It’s a basic necessity that every bakery should have, and it was surprising to hear otherwise. Overall, the flavors and textures were incredible, and it’s a must-try spot, especially if you prefer desserts that aren’t overly sweet!

The highlight was their black colored taro red bean bun

Have good taiyaki but wouldn’t recommend to eat inside this place. Bit of a tourist trap too.

Found egg shell fragments in my pandan bun, and had a more bitter than usual taste. Really surprised me.

I do not recommend this shop... I love Tayiaki ( in my town) I don't know why,but vanilla custard tastes weird and the staff was little bit rude to me when I ask for more napkins. #London

In this case we tried the fish that is served directly to the street and its not something special, It IS ok but we Will not take It again. Its foot to take away.

Great for anyone who wants to try something new! We ordered the fish-shaped pastries filled with sweet red beans and were thrilled.

I tried the green tee icecream "fish", the taste was very bland. I didn't like it at all.

Love the bun.. tried cream and coconut bun… really yum.. make sure to check the expiry date or check with them.. many of them are unmarked .. didn’t like the fish ones though.. not for me..

Come here to grab a savory bun or sweet treat. I love the coconut cream buns here 😋😍

Has great buns :) quite pricey though.

love love nutella taiyaki (fish shaped)and pandan cake, literally have to get both everytime im there the custard bun so good too!!

The bakery is located on one of the streets in the China Town district. It's easy to get here, because from a distance our attention is drawn to the beautiful smell of baked tayiaki fish. You can buy them in a large version, already made, waiting for us in the bakery. The price is around £4 per fish. Or choose the option of smaller fish, baked hot after placing the order. The price is £2 for 4 small fish. The bakery operates in a self-service system. At the entrance, there are lunch trays waiting for us, on which we collect the things we are interested in, and when we are ready, we go to the cash register and add up our order. Despite the traffic there most of the time, thanks to this solution, everything goes quite smoothly. All the baked goods are very good and the prices are pleasant. I highly recommend trying the rolls with a sweet shell and bean paste inside 🥰

taiyaki filled with custard cream. It was good, but at the same time I missed the Korean one with red bean paste.

Amazing bakery if you like asian pastries and buns. The red bean knot and the snow balls were amazing. A nice snack is also the custard filled Tayaki. Don't let the crowds and long lines scare you, the service is very quick

Great tasty pastries...this is one reason I visit london 😁

i had two of their baked goods, both of them disappointed me. it isnt as good as they say it is. overrated its cheap tho

Wo! Here I am guys, once again, me, myself and my matcha’s cravings. If you love matcha and want to try something special in London, do go straight away to this bakery. They make it an ice cream. Can you believe it? There is more. You can choose between having it in a cone fish shaped or in a mango flavoured sweet bread. I have chosen the mango bread. Followers, it does taste like mango as well as the ice cream which tastes exactly like tea. This is kind of a dream. It is also so warm, just baked for us! For some reason, I have the impression to eat a healthy treat…crazy stuff over here. Very quick service and friendly staff. Will try the red bean ice cream next time. Cheers you all 👏

Atmosphere is very rushed and busy, but the products are worth it! Staff are always happy to help. The tiramisu and the passion fruit birthday cakes are perfect - light, fresh, not too sweet and delicious m

Extremely overcrowded. The food we tried was good, but it was definitely over hyped

So good and so cheap i’m literally in love with it!

Exceptional price quality. Quick and easy in every store they have. Taiyaki with delicious ice cream!

really tasty, fluffy soft buns & cakes. i recommend the pork(sausage) and roast pork / chicken curry buns! very reasonable price, ill definitely come back whenever i pass by leicester square

The peanut cake was so fluffy and the stuffed fishes were delicious 🥳

Would defo recommend, closest chinese bakery items you’d get to the real deal in China, and not too expensive! Recommend the pineapple buns :)

My all time favourite was the red bean with mochi bun and also the custard bun and mexican bun. And do not miss getting the pandan cake as well.

My goodness, everything is too good. Quite affordable prices for London. It is essential to stop by these Chinese pastry shops if you go through Chinatown. It's worth waiting in line

They have 3 bakeries all within a small area, very busy with tourists and unfortunately pickpockets. This is my favourite branch for no determinable reason, the ladies that work here are brilliantly no nonsense.The food in my opinion is both delicious and incredibly well priced. I limit myself to one trip a week (work local) normally get the roast pork bun and red bean roll for myself and a pandan triangle cake for my daughter. Delicious. When the day comes that they jack up the prices it will be a very sad day indeed.

Busy, cramped, a bit expensive but worth it. Pulled pork buns or youtiao for savoury, nutella taiyaki for sweet, are all excellent choices. Lots to love here from traditional Chinese to modern twists.

Truly a gem! Specialties made at the moment very delicious!

Great HK style buns. Would be great if black sesame buns were more available and if they did curry donuts!

A wide selection of very good pastries, especially fish, which are a waffle with a filling inside. Tasty and cheap - I recommend it!

Yum me and my family always come here when we are in London

A great day out In Chinatown different delicious food to taste

5/5 without hesitation. A must-see in London if you love baking! We went there every day for a quick takeaway breakfast or a snack.

Special bakery, visit if you can. Love the pork buns.

As a sweet tooth the Chinatown bakery is like a piece of heaven! I loved the moon cakes for the Autumn Festival (black sesame, and white Lotus are my favs); and not to mention the fluffy cakes: Pandan flavored cake? Yes please! A little tip is to visit the bakery during at opening hours, because it's less busy.

Attracted by the super affordable price of £2.5 for 4 fish stuffed with custard, I decided to try them. Let's say I wouldn't take them again. The dough wasn't even bad, it had just been baked. The problem was the cream, totally tasteless and almost sugar-free. Sin

Amazing service and the highlight of China town bakery for me was the little custard fish (taiyaki). 4 for £2.50 which I think is a good price. They were really tasty and soft. Highly recommend

Delicious fish and lots of baked goods. The queue goes quickly, everything goes smoothly, I recommend! I especially recommend coconut

Perfect bakery, always fresh and crowded.one of my favorite place in China Town.

A busy bakery, people maintain a queue and grab what they want on the way to billing counter. I love the mini creme taiyaki (custard filled waffle in shape of a fish) 4 pieces for £2.5, readily made in live counter and served super hot

Great baked goods and it is always very busy. I especially recommend the pandan sponge cake. Fluffy cloud delight. Great location and great baking!

One of the best in London, every time I go I always leave a few pounds there but it gained weight 🤣. 100% recommended

I love their pandan cake and their white cake. It’s so fluffy and just divine. I definitely recommend checking the place out and getting some cake!

The plain cake is delicious, seriously! 2 pounds per portion, enough for one person. Perfect to match it with a good cup of coffee. The shop is overcrowded...

one of my favourite places to eat in london

One of the best bakeries in China Town! My personal favourites and recommendations are the Custard Taiyaki and Sausage Buns. Although the food here is definitely something to marvel at, there is often little to no space in the bakery itself due to the large abundance of people in a cramped space especially at peak times, making it difficult to navigate the shop. Aside from this, it is still worth checking it out!

the prices were so good for real i got pandan bread i think and mochi which was quite cheap but kinda wish i got the tiramisu tho

The bread and cakes were nice. However the movement in shop was really poor: customers need to get in the shop, then go to the counters in other room to pay and finally squeeze themselves out to the door when they originally come in. I don’t understand why it is designed like this.

Very good discovery, too bad the cream is not tasty enough, lacks a little sugar

Nice, simple efficient bakery with reasonable prices for London.

A place that tends to be crowded, it really offers a lot of choice between sweets and various delicacies, including savory ones. We got some kind of coconut mochi which was extremely good but other things looked interesting too. You have to queue a bit to pay but the staff is very quick. Prices okay. Advised!

A real Japanese style bakery in China Town in London. Delicious baked goods at low prices (by London standards). Traditional but crowded environment.

Have the vanilla flavor fish cone and also the green tea - or u can have combo and other pastries as well

As a Malaysian, this place reminds me of those bakery in Malaysia. Classic sausage bread, simple yet delicious. Very good pandan cake too!

A lovely bakery in Chinatown, a very busy shop but worth the wait, food is very nice.

Delicious buns . Lots of choices . Quite busy and popular . There are queues to get in as popular . Good sign . You can buy a mixture of savoury or sweet buns .

Just tasted the best cake ever so lovely!!!! shame they Don't do delivery

Best taste and recommended use it more.

Enjoyed the Matcha icecream and the gentlemen serving me was very helpful and friendly will be back

Very good treats but it's the factory!! Other stores also offer good products but are nicer.

Busy shop, shop assistants are polite and they do the best banana cake.
