I was in the area hoping to try a rice roll cart but they were sold out by the time I got there. Was headed to central park and happened to walk by here. $2.75 rice rolls advertised in the window so I figured how could I go wrong. I never had rice roll before but it was good and a fun eat. Simple food and pretty plain flavor honestly, but that's not necessarily a bad thing! I enjoyed it and it was a nice meal to start the day without overdoing it. I'd love to try some of the other flavors. The shrimp was good. Could have used more shrimp but again... $2.75 haha. I would like to try more of their bakery items as well. Looked good. read more

Happened to pop into Delicious Bakery recently, and left quite satisfied. I can't believe how they've been able to keep their prices so low - mad respect for doing whatever it takes to not raise rates. The rice rolls I got were $2 each, and were made fresh on the spot. Nice springy texture, and paired nicely with soy sauce at the table. Two crates could probably feed the average person, and one crate makes a nice fulfilling snack. I was a bit sad when Sun Hing Lung Co closed, as that was my go-to rice roll spot. Happy to have found Delicious Bakery, as I am adding this to my rotation of a quick snack or meal on the cheap when I'm in the Chinatown area. read more

Tried their rice rolls couple of times. They would be my alternative option if the rice roll carts are not open. The rice rolls are good but a bit plain. The pork is flavorless also the soy sauce doesn't pair with the rice rolls well. The price is satisfying but the flavor is just ok. Not as fancy as the reviews. read more

Delicious Bakery - Pork rice rolls with egg and corn - Bakeries Near Me - New York, New York

edit: as of October 2022, every time I've passed these guys during their advertised hours or called the listed phone number, they seem to be closed. Would appreciate if someone updated me, this was one of my favorite places in Chinatown to grab a bite and I would be very sad if they closed. -------------- Can't compare this to a rice cart (I always miss their hours) but having tried Joe's Steamin' Roll, these are preferable. Delicious, cheap rice crepes that are a little more glutinous, sweet, and substantial than Joe's (my only basis of comparison), but I really like them and hope this place stays open for a long time. The pork rib crepe always hits the spot. Only downside is I don't get the impression these have a variety of sauces, just soy-based (so no peanut, no chili sauce - but I've never asked). This place also has frozen buns and baked pork buns. read more

Ladies and gents, frankly it doesn't get much better than $2 for a fresh, steamy shrimp rice roll. That's exactly what I got, exactly what I paid, and a 10 minute walk later back to the hotel and it was still steaming. The shrimp isn't to die for, but you can tell that the rice roll was made by someone who makes hundreds of rice rolls a day and knows that they deliver consistent results. Consistent enough to keep locals happy and coming back and attract the unsuspecting Cantonese looking for a slice of home in the streets. read more

$2 rice rolls crepes....do I need to say more? Those rice roll crepes are silky and have a good texture when you chew on it. My go-to order is spare ribs with cilantro and the dried shrimp. They're a little skimpy with the spare ribs but I get it. they're trying to keep the prices low for everyone. They have many kinds of buns too. But I only come here for the rice roll crepes!!! read more

We stumbled upon this bakery when walking by because RICE ROLLS! For $2?! Best decision we made was walking straight in and ordering 3 different rice rolls. They were so hot and fresh and delicious. The sauce is perfectly savory and sweet and went with the rice rolls perfectly. You have to check this place out, the piping hot rice rolls hit the spot and warm you up from the inside out! read more

Delicious Bakery - three takeout containers of food - Bakeries Near Me - New York, New York

Mmm the first time I came here, I was with my partner and we were heading to the station in the winter. It was sooo goshdarn cold that when I saw their rice roll sign I immediately wanted to go in for some warm food. I went there again with my partner and we spent about 15 minutes just walking through Chinatown just to find it lol. Their steamed rice rolls are made fresh and piping hot, served in a metal tin for only $2 each. It's nothing fancy and the filling can be pretty skimpy, but the price is unbeatable and perfect for anyone like me that just craves a fresh steamed rice roll. If you want a place with better fillings and more/tastier sauces, Joe's Steamed Rice Rolls at Canal might be your kind of thing. But if you just want a solid, simple rice roll for a great price then this is perfect. (This time, we got a beef rice roll, gobbled it up, and then bought and ate the shrimp one!) read more

Delicious indeed! Bustling in the AM with locals grabbing a quick breakfast bite (this is how you know it's authentic), it has a bakery counter with baked good in the front, fresh soy milk for breakfast, and freshly streamed rice crepe from 6am to 7pm! (That is wonderfully early) I was a bit surprised this place wasn't on yelp, but given both owners and patrons this morning don't speak much English - this is definitely an authentic find. I am hesitant to trek into a bakery (GF...), but upon reading the sign for the rice noodle crepe (with my stomach growling and nothing else GF and open in sight), I ventured in and asked about the use of flour (none) in the crepe mix, and then read up in Mandarin ingredients typically used online (rice based), and given the steamer is in its separate area and can only be used for rice noodles - I decided to give it a shot, sans any sauces (and avoided things like pork ribs that has sauce pre-added) The shrimp and lettuce one was devoured very quickly, and I bought two more to go, shrimp and shrimp and chicken. I will definitely bring my own tamari next time - but happy to find a cheap delicious meal in Chinatown since I craaaaaaaaave Chinese food so much after having to become gluten free! $2 for any flavor, $.75 for each additional topping (topping is added very sparingly so I recommended adding a second, or third). Service is quick and efficient - NY no-nonsense AM style. And you will literally wait under 5 min for freshly steamed-to-order rice noodle crepe, barring anyone ahead of you in line. read more

They have the best taro puff in Chinatown!!! Highly recommend! I also got the salted egg puff, but it was very sweet and oily. The lotus filing was 90% of the pastry :( read more

The rice rolls are cheap, but pretty plain. I ordered a rice roll with dried shrimp, and it seemed like no amount of soy sauce could make them delectable and truly satisfying. The rice rolls were made fresh to order, but just lacking in flavor. The rice rolls are better than those at Go Believe Bakery (generally awful) but not as good as those at Kam Hing Coffee Shop. My boyfriend bought a coconut tart (yezita) and enjoyed that much more than his rice roll. There are only three or four tables in a tight space, so it's not a place to linger. read more

At first I was meh about the shrimp rice roll, but I didn't realize you had to put soy sauce and hot sauce. Totally changed the flavor! I even got a scallion one after. $2 each and so good!!! Scallion was my favorite read more

Delicious Bakery - #4: Pork Rice Crepes - Bakeries Near Me - New York, New York

We used to stock our freezer with Trader Joe's chicken cilantro wontons until we discovered Delicious Bakery (we used to call it Delicious Huang bakery like it says on the sign!) How did we discover Delicious? We were standing in line on Chrystie Street for char siu bbq pork at Wah Fung No. #1 and bought a large container of meat for $12. Did not want to buy the char siu with rice and cabbage plate, we came for char siu meat. Then we wandered around the corner, saw the $2 rice rolls sign at Delicious Huang Bakery and thought rice rolls would taste great with the char siu bbq pork. The cook warms it fresh to order while you're standing there! The scallion rice rolls were our favorite! Saw a side freezer filled with frozen dumplings and grabbed a few containers to take home. These dumplings are huge and a container of around 25 dumplings only cost $8! Since then we've tried them all - mushroom dumplings, chive and pork, pork and vegetable, shrimp wontons and corn dumplings, but chive and pork are our favorites on those nights when we are too lazy to go out to eat. We just pan-fry the dumplings till golden brown on the bottom and pour water to steam the tops (like gyoza). I guess we could be even healthier and just boil them too. Delicious is a treasured Chinatown secret. read more

So I always pass this spot when when I'm in Manhattan about to head over the Manhattan Bridge to Brooklyn. I was starving and the bright red sign entitled "Delicious Bakery" could not be ignored... It's a small spot. Grab and Go. Is it safe to assume they do all their baking onsite? Cause you can kina peek in the back and see people baking stuff... Two fresh, hot Pork Buns and a Meat & Vegetable Bun. One prepackaged Pork Bun. The lady pulls the buns from this big metal fridge looking hot box and hands you a hot steamy Pork Bun. It's fluffy, chewy, starchy goodness with sweet pork in middle. The fresh Pork Buns are awesomely awesome! I got so wrapped up in my first two bites of the first bun I ended up eating the non-stick white paper stuck to the bottom and it still tasted great. Yeah, so definitely don't forget to peel the paper of the bottom of the hot buns ... The Meat & Vegetable Bun was okay. Paled in comparison to the Pork Bun. The meat & vegetable just didn't seem to match up with the bun. I guess I'm not the only one that feels that way cause I bought the last two hot Pork one's which is what led to my purchase of the prepackaged one. Six hours later as I'm riding the train home I confidently pull the pork bun out of my jacket pocket. Take a bite. YeS! Soft. Chewy. Sweet Flavor. I glance around the half full cart to see the other riders eyes dart in the opposite direction to avoid eye contact. It was too late though. I caught all of 'em looking. Tryna pretend as if they weren't just lusting over my pork bun... Clueless why this place only has one review prior to this one. With the Bun's only costing 80 cent and everything else in the bakery more than reasonably priced, I'd expect people to be flocking here. I'll be back again fa sure to clean house. P.S. - The Kung-Fu Tea spot on the corner is a great compliment to the baked goods. Pork Buns and Kung-Fu Tea. It's a Win Win. read more

I am on a bun quest lately so when I saw their big sign on their door for different steamed buns, I stopped by. I was intrigued by "Sesame bun" but only to find out they only sell them in bulk. Therefore, I got their red bean bun and it is smaller compared to the ones from Steamer King on Elizabeth St. The bun costs 80 cents itself. I personally think the bun is very good. The bread is chewy, sweet and solid. They give you decent portion of stuffing too and the red bean paste is smooth and fine. The service here is rather slow and their Chinese is poor so I cannot imagine they speak good English either. Just be aware. read more

This is a basic Chinese bakery that isn't try to keep up with all the modern pastries, so know what you're getting into. Don't expect all the fancy new buns you see in Fay Da or Taipan in here. Prices here have remained low compared to other bakeries in Chinatown, so that's always a plus. I love love love the black sesame steamed buns from here. I don't think they are available for individual sale. I always get them in the boxes of 6. Comes out to less than $1 per bun. The sesame bun comes with a sesame paste that isn't too sweet or oily. It's amazing, in my opinion, because I'm just a huge sesame fanatic. They also have a sesame flaky type biscuit here (the boxes are at the windows), but I'm not too big a fan of this. The sesame filling in this is very dry compared to the buns. The sliced bread from here is pretty good too. It's very different from the sliced bread you buy from a grocery store. It's much more dense and has a hint of buttery sweetness. Good alone or with some jam. read more

This review is strictly for its customer service. My family stopped by chinatown to pick up some Viet take out from across the street. I was on a hunt for a quick iced coffee (kung fu bubble had a long line) and my brother was parked on a no standing zone. As I wait on line, the person in front was done ordering and just had to wait for the bakery girl to pack up her order. This girl made such a big fuss on changing out the smaller bag, so she can fit two cups in a bigger bag instead of stacking one on top of the other. Ok, fine. 5 mins goes by... Bakery girl: what would you like? Me: one coffee and one iced coffee with extra milk please BG: ok *continue slowly packing the 1st customer's order* Another 5 mins goes by... BG: one ice tea right? Me: (peeved) No, I ordered a coffee and an iced coffee with extra milk. BG: oh, ok. you'll have to wait a lil bit, we're getting more ice. *makes my coffee and placed on the counter then takes other customer's order* Two minutes goes by.... ice arrives BG: *picks up a cup and pack it with ice* iced ovatine right? Me: NO! (Controlling my emotions) iced c..o..f...f..e..e with e..x.t..r..a.. m..i..l..k. Ugh..... first you make me wait 15 mins, then you can't even remember my order, twice. The other bakery lady next to her even said she wasn't paying attention. And I thought I have a bad memory, she's even worse than me! Sigh, patience is a virtue. I don't know if she was new or not but at least the iced coffee was good. I didn't get a chance to taste their buns which they are known for. I'll try to come back next time to try... I'll have to up my tolerance level another notch and prep myself. read more

I was in the area and was craving some rice crepes and came across this little bakery on hester street. They make their rice crepe on the spot there and it was delicious. Its a small little bakery in chinatown but the rice crepe was hot, steamy and flavorful! I had the shrimp rice crepe and the egg rice crepe. I put some soy sauce and hot sauce on it it was great! Definitely gotta come back to try the other ones and will need to try their buns. They have homemade pork cabbage buns in a package you can buy to take home to make yourself. read more

Delicious Bakery lives up to its name! I was on the hunt for pre-packed, yet still homemade Dai Bao. A bao is a bun, filled with tasty things and could be seen as the Chinese version of a hot pocket. I wanted the mantou kind, or the steamed white wheat flour buns, rather than the baked ones. They're fluffy and white and a little sweet. Dai bao, in particular, are about the size of a burger (dai meaning big!) and are filled with pork, a quail egg, and sausage (lap cheung). I sampled the: Dai bao - $1.25 Choy yook bao (cabbage) $0.80 Sang yook bao (pork carrot wood ear fungus) $0.80 Gai bao (chicken and mushroom) The bao are very fluffy and a good sized portion. It is just the right saltiness and the fillings have a good ratio of meat to vegetable. I like that the dai bao has jicama or something, that gives you a fresh crunch and extra flavor points from bamboo shoots, mushroom, carrot, wood ear fungus, and love! Next time I need to try their pastries or drinks. I've had the milk tea here and its okay (but I'd still rather go to Teado around the corner). For now, I'm happy stocking up on the prepared bao in the back and enjoying a solid breakfast every morning. read more

I stumbled upon this place when I was in Chinatown, craving fish balls with rice noodles but not wanting to wait in line for Wah fung or go to canal to the carts. The sign outside for their rice crepes drew me in. $2 for any rice rolls, plus the options for an extra egg or meat for $.75??? They got me. I ordered the pork rice crepe, and it was still steaming hot by the time I got to work. I'm def coming back soon! read more

I was trying to practice my Chinese and wanted to order a cup of hot honey lemon tea. Instead I got iced lemon water. The lady was very apologetic and offered me to fix the right order but I told her it's ok. Next day, I ordered a pork bun and she gave me a barbecue pork bun. Well, it was very delicious. I would comeback and get some more pork buns. Oh this place is cash only. read more

In addition to the bakery you can get rice rolls in a wide variety of flavours here for $2. We tried pork, shrimp, and spare rib. All were made fresh to order.

Delicious Bakery - Shrimp rice roll ($2!) - Bakeries Near Me - New York, New York

My new favorite place for rice noodles! I use to go to the rice noodle cart in front of HK Supermarket but it's way too oily. However, they make it fresh. This place makes it early in the morning and leave it in heated racks. The chicken and mushroom rice noodles with sweet soy sauce is my absolute favorite! I've also had the pork but the chicken is still the best. It's also cheap, for a $1.50 you get a good portion. I also really like their pan fried dumplings here. $1 for 4. There's a hint of sweetness to them. read more

Delicious Bakery is your standard small Chinatown bakery with decent baked goods, okay coffee and good prices. The ladies working behind the counter are very friendly and although the place is small with very limited seating, the bakery is quite clean. Due to its size, the number of items to choose from is limited. The one disappointment were the dumplings which had obviously been sitting around in the warmer and tasted soggy. Perhaps in fairness I need to try this bakery first thing in the morning but on the other hand when you go into a bakery shouldn't everything taste fresh regardless of the time? Update: May 2016: Second best baked pork buns in Chinatown. The bun tastes like challah! read more

I randomly walked by Delicious Bakery.. I like checking out small places like this with fresh baked goods... Just recently bought a steamer and I was craving for "red bean bao"... 6 red bean buns.. only 3.75!!! Yeah!!! Cheap... I have good breakfast now..

Perhaps I have to return here to get other good stuff to update my review.. :D read more

A short and sweet review to match my short and sweet 30 second visit. Simply put: $0.90 BBQ pork buns fresh out of the steamers. Deals don't get much better than this. The filling here is sweet and succulent in a fluffy bun. My only real issue here is the buns feel a touch on the doughy side and could be filled more. Then again, for $0.90, maybe next time I'll just get 3 more and load up the filling. read more

I thought the cake slice (one of those triangular cake slices wrapped in plastic) tasted funky but I chalked it up to a different recipe. Little did I know, the next day, when my mom took it out to eat more of it, she discovered some mold at the corner. I should have just stuck with the buns since that's all that everyone raved about, but even so, I was expecting the food to be a bit more hygienic. I don't think I'll be back. read more

there are a handful of bakerys on every street corner in chinatown, but thr are only a few tht stand out frm the rest. Delicious Bakery is one of them. altho they have your standard fare, everything is straight out of the oven SUPER FRESH which makes everything SUPER TASTY. my favorites include the "dai bao" - a soft and fluffy bun stuffed with super juicy meat, quail egg and chinese sausage. also the "hom swui gorks" - deep fried chinese sticky dough stuffed with tasty minced meat. also their steamed dumplings and rice noodles - everything tastes straight out of the oven, unlike other generic bakeries tht taste as if sitting around for a few days... another yelper mentioned their limited selection, but who wouldnt prefer a small variety of awesomeness, over an abundance of mediocrity? ;) read more

Hey, it's 90 cents for a savory roast bun. An inexpensive quick snack! (Milk Bar sells a fancy version for $8.) I've been coming to Delicious Bakery for over a year now and have formed an opinion (like all Yelpers) that this one of the few bakeries that serves one of the city's best steamed and roasted pork buns. (Their steamed vegetable-pork buns are good too!) The bakery do sell out by the late end of the day (around 6pm.) The fresh pork buns straight from the oven here are filled with the classic char-siu pork and not overly done with the fat bits, whereas some bakeries overuse it as filler. The meat is moist and seasoned well with a bit of sugar. The bun is at the right softness and not too thick. (Some places make it too thick, resulting in a doughy snack.) While the fillings may be a wee bit too sweet for my preference, it does goes well with a cold drink of milk tea (lightly or un-sweetened). As for service, it is hit or miss. It hasn't been bad enough that it has stopped me from returning. I have had mostly decent to pleasant service (almost always by the older women) to brash and impatience (mostly by the younger folks). read more

Meh. I mean, they're kind of like a so-so, wannabe Golden Steamer. In a stunning turn of events, Golden Steamer was CLOSED! This was outrageous, as they're usually open until 8pm. As a result, we were left to go on a bun quest elsewhere. I wanted a pumpkin bun. Delicious Bakery had them--but the only hot ones were whole wheat...so we got those. Verdict? Eh, okay. Filling was a little too sweet and the whole wheat flour texture was kind of weird. I wish they had the normal ones! But, on the plus side, I didn't get yelled at for not being Asian, which always happens at Golden Steamer. I kind of love the yelling part, though. ANYWAYS, decent buns. 3 stars. GO TO GOLDEN STEAMER. read more

Came here for the steamed rice noodle crepes. They are dirt cheap at $2 a crepe so there's not much to complain about but there are way better rice noodle roll spots in the area.
