Wong Wong Bakery in Manchester

I had bought a cake for my birthday, I got the rainbow cake. Now I thought that it was called that because of the fruit on top but to my surprise the actual cake was rainbow! Absolutely loved it truthfully the most delicious cake I have ever had.

Best chinese cakes in the north west, staff are friendly

she gave me the wrong change, it was around £12, gave her £20 and she gave me £3 back... and everyone was getting their drink before me because they forgot to make mine 🙃

Their halal food is limited, and it is all amazing, as if it is cotton, and their fillings are the most delicious, chocolate and coconut.

Wong Wong Bakery in Manchester is an absolute must-visit for anyone who loves authentic Chinese baked goods! The selection is fantastic, from soft and fluffy buns to delicate pastries, all made fresh daily. The BBQ pork buns and custard tarts are standout favorites—perfectly balanced in flavor and texture. The prices are great for the quality you get, and the staff are always friendly and helpful. Whether you're picking up a quick snack or treating yourself to something sweet, Wong Wong Bakery never disappoints. A hidden gem in Manchester's Chinatown!

Staff friendly and fresh bakery

A funny barkery store only accepts cash or bank transfer in Manchester City centre, guys, what do you think, why are they doing that? Always no smile on their staff even says hello. They look angry with every customer who dropped in their store not being welcoming at all. Price is not cheap either, like a pineapple bun £2.5, a lot expensive compard with London which they are selling for £1.90 only. Paid £1.8 for Ham sui gok (fried glutinous rice dumplings), and I got nothing inside. A picture attached for guys who want to have a look. It is absolutely a joke.

Love love love the egg tarts here. The pastry is buttery and flaky! I could eat 4!! We brought a selection of pastries and enjoyed them at home!!

Tasty traditional Cantonese buns and pastries, cash only but genuinely good taste and quality. Recommend!

Definitely worth stopping by. Their pastries and cakes are made fresh throughout the day, and the constant flow of customers mean they need to bake and replenish frequently. You can see their bakers baking and decorating cakes too. It’s mooncake season now - they make their own! - you can taste the difference between fresh made vs general grocery store bought. Cash only though.

Bakery items seem nice, but who's running a cash only shop in 2024?

Breads and cakes are lovely, everything is good. Prices gone up alot due to lack of competition. Drinks are still good value. Staff attitude previously is questionable but have noticed improvements

Not much variety and quite pricey too

You can pay by bank transfer too.

Been coming here for many years after a friend introduced me to it. Love chinese bakeries and especially this one. The cakes are so fresh, light, and fluffy, and I love the combination of ingredients they use like the sweet lotus bean, black bean and the pineapple buttercream and taro whipped cream. Just delicious, and all made fresh on site. So many choices for both savoury and sweet tastebuds...😊

Delicious bakery items at really good prices for a small business, freshly made in the city centre! Staff are very friendly and kind too.

Could be seriously the best egg tart in UK, could not find the same in London soho. It is a true puffed pastry that is hardly found somewhere in else.

Very delicious bakery items! Totally love everything I bought! Specially coconut pandam bun is a must try!

My favourite bakery to visit when I’m in Manchester. The food is always amazing and reasonably priced. The staff are also welcoming and friendly, I will continue to recommend this bakery to anyone visiting the city.

My childhood memories are stored in this place 😭 Amazing bread (especially the pineapple bread), cakes and buns. Birthday cakes from wong Wong are fluffy and not too sweet and made with cream and not buttercream or fondant. Personally I love love love the pineapple bread with sweet bean filling and an underrated pick is the sausage and cheese bread and custard bun But pineapple bread so good 🥺

Terrible customer service. I bought £40 worth of bakery items and asked for one of their paper boxes because I was gifting them to a friend. They used to freely give away these paper boxes with nearly every purchase but refused to give me one, and even refused to SELL me one, saying they were only for large cakes. It's just a box! What's the big deal?? This was also the manager/owner I spoke to. Absolutely ridiculous! Putting each bun in a plastic bag is terrible for the environment too!

I like your cakes and breads. But please accept card. Cash only is old school innit

The cream looks so thin. Cake looks kinda old ready, not very fresh. But the price is good

Poor service and bad quality bread.

Delicious buns and drinks in big portions and for an affordable price! I've had the roast pork bun, taro bun and the turtle shaped bun, as well as the original milk tea and the fruit tea (which is so refreshing - it's got fresh fruit in it!). Three huge buns and a tea was only a tenner! Lovely atmosphere too - light and space to sit and eat, and not too noisy. The only thing I'd consider is it doesn't have savoury vegetarian buns, it'd be good to have some cheese buns w no meat or something.

I had a turtle bun with a delicious sweet bean filling made from a soft brioche bread. The taste and texture were lovely and it was only 2.50! I also had a big portion of milk bubble tea for only 3.50, which was prepared for me really quickly. My friend had a fruit tea with orange slices and strawberries in it that looked really good also and I will definitely be bringing my family here at some point. The prices are affordable and the food and drinks are high quality. The only suggestion I have is that as a vegetarian the savory buns all had meat, and a bun with just cheese and no sausage or pork would be a great item to add.

The Chinese bakery was amazing. They had authentic boba tea and it tasted so good. Their tea was superb. Must try there cookies it was melt in mouth. Go to place in china town!!

Lovely Chinese bakery with very competitive prices

Nice place for a tea and dessert.

Traditional Japanese pastry, it has many products, each one more appetizing, very rich and fluffy sweets. The place is very simple and the product is the star, the downside is that you cannot pay by card, only cash or bank transfer.

We are whole familay and friends workmate cakes all from this shop order

Amazing cake and the staff was very polite and the place it self was very clean the cake was nice and fresh will come here again for my mums birthday!!

The products look delicious, I ate the pineapple roll and drank the macha latte, which were very good, maybe I would have given 4 stars if the tables were worn. The decor itself needs to be refreshed.

Best Chinese bakery I have ever been to, the staff is super attentive

Food is pretty good but use quite a few preservatives and/or E numbers. Also be aware this place ONLY takes cash 💸 or bank transfer. No cards accepted.

Great Chinese bakery: excellent food with clear allergen listings, at a great price (~£3.50 per filled bun) They only take cash, and have a small space to eat inside (you can also obvs take your buns to go). Really enjoyed the pork and pineapple bun, and something I've forgetten the name of, but was functionally a tuna-mayo roll inside a nori sheet, with savoury candy floss on the sides (not being sarcy, was genuinely ace!)

This is my first time visiting this bakery. I feel like the staff are constantly cooking and there is no friendly feeling at all. I don’t know if the bread is good or not, because I haven’t eaten it yet so I rushed to comment.

the best buns in the uk, even london can’t beat it

Cash only, breads not that fresh, rather expensive

Awesome Chinese bakery. Nice and fresh cakes and buns. Always try to get some when I visit Manchester. Great staff service with a smile.

Great place to grab a Hong Kong pastry. We had egg tarts, thousand egg pastry and bubble teas. All tasted great! Egg tarts were even warm and there was a queue the whole time when we were there enjoying our tarts. Popular spot!

Absolutely delightful egg tart with a perfectly flaky crust and tasty custard filling - sheer heaven! The peanut butter “pancake” was amazing as well: just the right ratio of crunchy peanut butter filling to mochi-like pastry. Highly recommend this bakery!

It’s officially Springtime!!💗 To celebrate this I went down to Chinatown. I’ve been craving Chinese pastries for a long time now and decided to save this trip for a special day. After some minutes of getting lost lol! I finally looked across the road from the one leading to the entrance gate of Chinatown and spotted Wong Wong bakery!! Delighted I went up and picked up some of my favourites; Roast pork( Char Siu) Bun, a pack of the mini sponge cake & flower cream bun!! Honestly when I got home, wished I bought more portions!!Everything tasted perfect; from the fresh and soft buns to the sponge cakes which were milky and the sugar level was just right!!10/10 across the board! I will definitely be making a trip downtown again this time with more CASH, as it’s a cash only policy. A perfect way to start this new season of spring 💗💗 P.s: this alongside my favourite bubble tea from Ohayo was a combo made in heaven. Please check out my review on there too!

Getting a bit pricy but the buns are always nice!

Went to get some nice buns a cakes for lunch today, the shelves were a bit empty. So Nikki (staff member) was barging past me and my little girl with trays of buns and cakes, she didn’t even say excuse me, or anything. Just expected us to move when we weren’t even in her way. I have visited the bakery a few times when we come a visit Manchester , and I just find that she’s rude and never smiles.

These years my child the cakes from this Manchester shop order, all beaken food very fresh, these here staff can speak Chinese English and contonese service

Love this place! Go every time we visit Manchester. It’s cash only. They always have different goods to try and is always fresh and tasty 😋

Unless you are chinese speaking I would strongly, strongly recommend you don't use this bakery for anything. They botched up my order and they gave me a lot of grief placing it because the person taking it could hardly speak english. As other people have mentioned, customer service is very poor. I ordered an expensive cake and made it very clear what I wanted, no fruit on the cake, but despite them confirming the details to me in writing, stating no fruit on the cake, they took no responsibility for providing the wrong order to me, which was for an important birthday party, thereby ruining the event. When I told them they should provide some kind of refund as it was their fault they refused, suggesting it was my fault because the cake was collected and not rejected at the store even though they clearly messed up the order and they would otherwise have left me with no cake at all. They even suggested my order was placed incorrectly, till I showed them it was confirmed by them in their own order confirmation, nice try to avoid the responsibility. They were very rude and contemptuous when I told them about my dissatisfaction. They insist in payment in advance in cash, no cards, so it is likely you will have no option but to accept whatever they give you on the day if it is an order for a special occasion and you pick it up on the day. I would definitely recommend therefore NOT to order from here if you are interested in getting what you ordered. The cakes are also not that nice, with very sweet artificial tasting cream and amateur looking decorations. The convoluted order process was great hassle and I could not understand them for a great part.

Everything is Freshly Made Up, you will be spoilt for choice, nothing overly sweet so you can eat more then 2

Best bakery in Manchester. Definitely recommend the Mango and pomelo drink as one of my favs.

Best bakery around. Fresh bread and great drinks. I highly recommend the mango and pomelo drink.

Everything is delicious and the service is really good!!! 👍👍👍

Handy hint: it's cash only! I popped in here for a browse and walked out with a Mini Custard Mooncake 🥮 It’s a very interesting bakery: from pineapple bread to char siu-filled buns, there’s definitely at least one thing to pique your curiosity.

蛋糕不夠輕盈忌廉勁難食，似食紙包蛋糕感覺 The cake lacks a light texture; it's reminiscent of a sponge cake wrapped in paper.

the stuff’s attitude is awful Never come again

Pastelería auténtica al más puro estilo de Hong Kong. Es difícil elegir una sola de las varias opciones que ofrecen. Para repetir y probar toda la gama.

Always loved Wong Wong, love the freshly baked goods. However, definitely feel like the quality have drop overtime. Bought some char xiu (roast pork) bun and egg tarts. There was barely any char xiu in the bin, don’t get me wrong. I love the bun but also would like to get what I paid for. Egg tarts are good but the forms have been a bit poor looking, but no big deal, just thought I’d mentioned it.

They don't take card so that is a bit annoying, but good thingy pastries.

Discovered this place recently and have been back multiple times since. I often get the roast pork pineapple bun for a quick lunch as I work nearby. The egg tarts are excellent too. I’ve not tried the cakes yet but they look great and they even do full size cakes for birthdays/special occasions. Overall incredible food, the most friendly staff, and such great value compared to other places in the area! Only thing to consider is that it is cash only.

Good Chinese bakery. The egg custard was flaky, fresh and warm when we visited. We also got some bread. You can also see the chef making and decorating the bakes in the back. Visited whilst visiting Manchester chinatown. We got the chestnut cake and matcha cake.

Best Chinese bakery in Manchester. I often pop in for a peanut mochi (the boxed ones just don't compare) or a bun. This week I got a birthday cake from there. It is delicious, the fruit is very fresh and the ordering process was quick and clear. The staff are really nice too.

What a gem of a bakery! Excellent choice of interesting products (get your taste buds ready) and great viewing gallery into the kitchens. Treat yourself. Oh and don't forget to bring cash!

Was in the area and the smell brought me inside. What a large selection of buns and cakes! The only inconvenience is that is cash only so had to go back and get my wallet.

Reasonably priced, Clean, Fresh, Halal options, Vegetarian options, Well recommended

Thank you very much for the wonderful black forest fruit cake 🎂

Lovely pastries, always fresh and delicious. There's usually a line so be wary of that, quite a busy small shop, they only take cash or bank transfer. Lovely little baked goods treat place.

A well-stocked bakery located in Chinatown - plenty of different sweet/savory options. I would visit again if back in the area.

I’ve tried a few things here and recommend the black sesame bun.

Very nice buns me and my partner had a ham and cheese bun. 2.40 each delicious and sweet

Great little Chinese bakery with great egg tarts, roll cakes and Cha siu pau. Recommended!

Food so so. Don’t take card payments either. No Ho’s bakery sadly.

Original Hong Kong taste, in particular the egg Swiss rolls. Makes you feel travel back in time to the 1970-80s of Hong Kong sole proprietor style.

Delicious soft flaky egg tart and preserved egg crisp. Hong Kong style coffee is dark and creamy without sugar. Enjoyable morning munchy spot.

A really nice quaint bakery well tucked in Princess street. Got great cakes , biscuits and pastries. Contactless/ card payment not allowed not allowed only cash or bank transfer. Prices are very reasonable and their cakes are to die for. Overall a brilliant place for a quick snack and carry some bread home to munch on later in the day with some high tea

bread are good taste in H.K. style

Terrible customer service and terrible organisation, ordered a Birthday cake on Friday and was told no such order was made and no payment was received, was told to wait 15min and they would make a new one and was asked to pay again. No apology no nothing! Extremely rude and unprofessional, for £45 the cake tasted disgusting and super dry, won’t be returning!

Possibly the only proper cakes in Manchester.

its alright, im fairly sure they just get the stuff premade and then just bake it there since everythings chocked full of additives and all sorts of chemicals. tastes alright regardless, not as good as people say it just looks good.

胡麻団子まじ美味しい。ミルクのパンがイギリスではあんまり逢えない日本のほんのり甘いパンに似てるので◎その二つをリピートしてます

Delicious birthday cake made with fruit. So light and fluffy. The sweetness comes from the fresh fruit which balances the cake out really well. This was my first time trying and will definitely visit and try some other items this bakery sells.

Amazing food 😋 nothing can beat those bakery.

Ordered cream cake a day before occassion and bakery was accommodative of the request and reserved the cake for next day pick up. Really nice strawberry and cream cake. Highly recommended 👌🏻

Their mixed fruit cake slice is my favourite

Wong Wong Bakery is amazing. The quality of the products from the freshly baked bread, Egg Tarts & Cakes are incredible. You truly get an authentic Hong Kong feel when you go inside!

This is a Hong Kong style bakery shop, I really like their bread which is real Hong Kong taste even the price is little bit higher

Mango mochi is a must. Cash only so bring plenty! Only downside is the thick plastic packaging for the bread.

Lovely cakes and savoury pastries

Needed a birthday cake last minute and was lucky enough to purchase a rainbow fruit cake from here. The staff are very polite and the cake was amazing. This is my new favourite place.

Best Chinese bakery in the uk- fact! This place has been around for a long time yet their quality hasn’t dipped, freshly baked goods several times a day…. Constant queues for the buns…. Open view kitchen where you can see the bakers doing their things,, whether it’s making omlette egg or sculpting the cakes they sell…… all part of the experience… I’d ordered a birthday cake in advance, they have so many styles…. Not just the sponge flavour, you have the fruit toppings, the shape of the cake, the design layout…. Then of course how big you want it? As we were in Manchester celebrating a birthday I’d ordered the smallest size…. £38 for the cake that easily feeds 12…. Went with taro flavour, and fruit toppings… the design was selected from their fb page… many different designs….. the cake was delicious, the sweetness of the fruit and cream was not overpowered by the taro sponge…. Soft and fresh tasting. Pre order 24hrs and worth it…. The ham and egg bun… and egg tarts are a must try….. the had an offer on where you can purchase a HK style beverage for £1 with any purchase, this was the let down unfortunately, the HK style tea wasn’t sweet and left a bitter aftertaste… I think this is new so they can work on correcting this.

The actual bakery is great but some of the customers that go there are rude and obnoxious. The staff here will not help you if other customers take the mickey like cut in line because they don’t want the hassle, just remember to stand your ground or the customers there will take an inch and then take a mile. “Oh yeah I just want these cakes here…. And give me 8 咸水角 and 8 蛋撻! 係啊係啊係啊!” They will also give you a dirty look if they catch you staring at the gall of these people and you will get the traditional greeting 望乜嘢? Sort this out yo

- mango mochi £1 - mango pancake £2 - pandan coconut bun £2.10 cash only but definitely some of the best chinese baked goods and sweets in the uk! they have such a wide variety and everything is affordable and always fresh😋

This bakery is amazing....try it

The bakery products here are absolutely delish - red bean pancakes and mango coconut balls are out of this world and come with a serious addiction warning. There is a fantastic selection of the more traditional Chinese treats, all manner of buns savoury and sweet and beautifully presented extravagant gateaus - something for every taste surely. One point deducted for excessive use of plastic packaging. Some biodegradable materials would be good to see here. I know try and remember to bring my own Tupperware to put the goodies in.

Egg yolk has been halved… It was a whole one 5 months ago. Can accept higher price, but hope the yolk can be a whole one. Really affects the favour.

The only chinese bakery in Chinatown! Didn't disappoint! Lots of selections!

Both breads and egg tarts are the best in Manchester

Love this place, but only takes cash or bank transfer!

Such an amazing bakery. 10/10 definitely recommend!
