I'm quite curious about the relationship between the three bakeries in Chinatown…read more(Corner/Top/Taiwan). Although their names seem to have nothing to do with each other, they share paper bags and some products. Are they sister shops run by the same team? Egg Tart蛋撻: Since there was no insulated box, it was cold, which is a shame compared to Corner Cafe. The egg and milk aromas were masked, but there was a slight eggy smell. Portuguese Egg Tart葡撻: Although it was also cold, I preferred the baking. It had a thin crust, and the filling was still smooth and delicate, with a richer egg, milk, and sweet flavor. Butter Bun奶香包: The best product, but I forgot to take a picture... I unexpectedly encountered "Little Swell bread微波麵包," something that has disappeared in China for a long time. It was exactly the soft and moist texture I remembered, and the milk, butter, and salt flavors were even stronger.

Solid bakery in Boston's Chinatown. Would rate it a 3.5. Everything is individually packaged so…read moreit's nice being able to try a selection of pastries. They've gotten expensive over the years (now it's about $4-5 for a bun) and the quality can be hit or miss. Some things are fantastic such as their milk bread loaves or taro buns. Other items are just okay such as their raisin coconut bread & bolo baos. Those tend to be dry & flavorless. Like many other Chinatown businesses they require a $10 minimum to pay with card, so definitely more convenient to bring cash.

I haven't been to Ho Yuen Bakery in quite some time & not much has changed…read more I used to come here all the time growing up with my grandmother to pick up some baos & my favorite, white sugar sponge cake! So you know I had to grab some white sugar sponge cake, curry beef bao, and other baos while I was in Chinatown the other day. They are still cash only! Make sure to bring some cash ;) I'm honestly not much of a bao person but I do love me some white sugar sponge cake. Tastes exactly how I remembered it! Very nostalgic & yummy. Will for sure be stopping by more often!!

Ho Yuen Bakery is located in Chinatown and not too far from the main entrance of Chinatown…read more My husband and I decided to walk in this past Saturday, around 10:40 am. After looking at everything in the displace case, I ended up purchasing: Egg Tart, $1.80, prior to tax- The size of this egg tart was pretty big for the price and it was delicious. Loved the eggy flavor and the delicate tart shell. Would buy this egg tart again from this bakery. Taro Cake- Similar to turnip cakes that you would get at dim sum restaurants, but this is made with taro. My husband actually pan fried this at home to get it nice and crispy, which made it even better. Egg Roll- Inside was pork and vegetables (cabbage was in for sure). I didn't have any but my husband did (he was getting hungry) and thought it was good but a bit greasy. --------------------------------- (Total= $6.00) This place is CASH ONLY. The employees speak both Cantonese and English so you shouldn't have any trouble ordering items (pointing also works just fine for those who may not be able to speak Cantonese). There is a mix of dim sum items and baked goods here. Quite a large selection of baked goods actually. I really liked this bakery and would come back here.

It's a tiny bakery with big flavors and cool concoctions…read more Maybe 10 seats inside, so be prepared to take it to go. If you're lucky you might be able to grab a stool but it's tight in there. You order at the counter and they call you when it's ready. They have a specialty drink menu but also offer the regular favorites. I tried this Biscoff iced latte which was pretty good. It wasn't too sweet. It had tiny cookie crumbles on the top. Yummy. Highly recommend the Salt bread if you don't want anything too sweet in terms of food. Overall this bakery matches my preferences as I don't like crazy amounts of sugar. The pastries are all pretty awesome, many with unique flavors. They really let the flavors stand out instead of just being overwhelming sweet. I like that. You can see from the photos how much variety they offer. Ube Croissant. Thai tea Croissant. You won't have trouble finding something fun to sample. Staff was nice. Expect a line and a wait, since this gem isn't hidden.

The pastries are Asian influenced with flavors like black sesame mochi, thai milk tea croissant, kimchi beef wellington, passion yuzu, and much more. I recommend coming earlier as they sold out of some pasteries that we wanted to try. We ended up getting the Jasmine Breeze which was a mousse that contained lychee and peach. It was good and wasn't too sweet so we enjoyed it. It's about $8-$10 for most of the pastries. For a drink we got the black sesame milk which was okay, but mostly ice. The only cons are that I wish they decorated the cafe a bit more as it feels a bit sterile. Moreover, the employees could be more friendly and welcoming.

I got one with mango and strawberry ice cream and butter biscuit crumbs on the outside. This was so so yummy and the texture of the stretchy chewy mochi was just perfect. The ice cream and mango added sweetness and I really liked the biscuit crumbs too which gave it a nice crunch. Overall this was surprisingly not too sweet or heavy even with the ice cream and they do pack in a lot in the mochi ball. I also got my sister a mochi with matcha cream cheese and strawberry to go and she loved it!

I saw videos of the mochi ice cream at Golden Crust Bakery and knew I had to stop by while I was in…read moreBoston's Chinatown! They have a variety of Chinese baked goods and pastries, but the mochi was what caught my attention. They have several flavors to choose from and make it fresh to order. I got the strawberry mochi with strawberry ice cream, topped with rice flour. It was fresh, chewy, and a fun sweet treat, especially since it's not something you see everywhere. It's $8 for one, so probably not something I'd get regularly, but I'd definitely come back to try some of their other pastries! There's no seating, but they have a small bar table in the front where you can stand and eat.

We went to our usual spot for buns but they were sold out of everything we wanted...so we went down…read morethe street to try Mei Sum, as they looked like another old school bakery. Surprisingly, they had everything! It was around 4 or 5pm on a weekend and nothing was sold out...that was the 1st red flag, but we took it as fortune. We ordered what we wanted and the buns actually felt warm and I appreciated everything was individually bagged. We brough them home and upon closer inspection, the hot dogs were like dark/black-ish colored. Then the pork bun...it barely had any meat filling and when you found it, it didn't taste good and was dry. Then the other one with pineapple or something similar filling...it was okay...had to microwave it to soften up the bread and make it edible. We were disappointed and will not risk coming here again.

Came on a Thursday morning, and there were lots of people inside! Mostly asian grandpa's/grandma's,…read morewhich means that you know this place is legit. They were eating congee, which we didn't get, but looked yummy. It's a standard "Asian mom/pop pastry store," so don't go in expecting world class decor or a "cute study spot." Pretty bare, but just as I expected, and what makes these places good. They have indoor seating to eat your pastry. CASH ONLY. Prices are FANTASTIC!!!! Taiwanese Rice Ball ($2 each, 7/10) - That is an unbelievable price!!!! Haven't seen that price....since going to Taiwan lol - Standard breakfast item, rice on the outside, pork sung on the inside with pickled veggies and a fried donut. They're pretty generous on the filling, although the fried donut was not as crispy as I'm used to - Not the most delicious Rice Ball I've ever had, but with that price and the size of the Ball, that's a deal I'll take anyday Taro Pastry (8/10) - Very generous with the internal taro filling - Not too sweet, the pastry is flaky and soft. Definitely enjoyed and WOULD recommend this Meat Pastry (5/10) - Super flaky crust, melts in your mouth - Meat itself was quite dry, without much flavor. The filling was disappointing. - Also found a little small strip of aluminum foil hidden in the meat...not the most exciting find. Maybe eat your pastry carefully haha

It feels like a really classic Chinese bakery and such great prices that I feel like are unheard of these days. Even when we went around 1:30 on a Saturday they were still fairly well stocked. We got the peanut mochi, walnut cookie and pineapple buns. All less than $2 a piece. The peanut mochi is my favorite. The mochi is super soft and the filling is a peanut and coconut that is the perfect flavor and crunchy texture. The pineapple buns are very soft and they don't skimp on the filling.
