Unfortunately, I was spoiled during my working years by being just a few blocks from Chinatown in Los Angeles, so that's the standard I tend to compare everything to. We ordered the BBQ Pork Buns, Minced Pork Dumplings, and Sui Mai. We took everything home and steamed it ourselves. I also picked up a Napoleon pastry from the bakery case. The BBQ Pork Bun was good with nice flavor. I would order it again, especially since I don't know of many other places in Reno where I can get one of my favorite dim sum items. The Minced Pork Dumplings, however, were not for us. I believe the flavor of the Chinese leek may have been what turned us off. As for the Napoleon, it wasn't very sweet or particularly flavorful, and it made quite a mess to eat. Not something I'd reorder. The Sui Mai was delicious, and I would definitely order it again. This was the winner of our take home feast. While not everything was a hit for us, we'd return for the Sui Mai and BBQ Pork Buns and other explore some other items that we have yet to try. read more

We found Honey Bakery on Yelp while visiting Reno and were excited to try it -- especially since we wanted to bring some goodies back to the Bay Area with us. The reviews looked great, and it seemed worth the drive. Unfortunately, after driving about 20 (maybe 30) minutes, we arrived to find a sign on the door saying they were closed for spring break, even though Yelp listed them as open. read more

Pre Lunar New Years treats...Ordered har gow, sui mai, sticky rice in lotus leaf, wife cakes, sesame balls, char sui bags, pineapple bars, custard tarts and custard buns. Nope, not for sharing. My precious... The owners will be gone from Feb 16th thru Apr, so just in time to get my "Canton" on. Next best thing to a trip to CA for authentic Chinese food. Busy on a Saturday morning. So worth the wait! read more

I was in the Reno area and had to stop by to pick up some "goodies" for friends from Hawaii who hadn't tried Honey Bakery yet--a little Christmas treat. I picked up steamed BBQ pork buns and pork/shrimp shu mai, and of course made sure to grab some for my own Ohana (family) as well. read more

A hidden gem in Reno! We love baos and this place actually makes good ones, although a bit small but still very good. We tried the cha siu bao, corn &ham and the pineapple bun. All seemed to have the same base dough where it was super soft and fluffy. The fillings were quite good, super savory and not too sweet for the cha siu. The pineapple topping was more like a thin shortbread and not the usual super crumbly top which is still good. We tried egg tart and it was super small, but the custard is pretty good and the crust was flaky. Overall, a good find for Reno and if you are looking for hk buns and dim sum. Total :$ 18 read more

As advised i went to this bakery a little early because it could get busy at times. Happy i did! More customers came after i ordered. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is small, it's the vibe of an Asian bakery back in the 90's in your korean-Taiwanese Netflix renditions of a sleepy small village.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They only have one table so prepare to stand while waiting for your orders to heat up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered Siomai they asked if i wanted it steamed and i thought it was nice of them to offer that. You can read newspapers while waiting if you like. Overall, it's a great place to get yummy snacks all throughout the year. You should try it! read more

My family and I stumbled upon this Bakery a few years ago. I'm glad to see that it is still there. They have some of the best baked barbecue pork buns. Also, we really enjoy their pork and shrimp dumplings. I must let you know now, if you go there and plan on taking dumplings home with you, you more than likely will have to wait around 10 to 12 minutes per order of dumplings that you place. They do not steam these lil guys in advance. So you have to wait for them to do that and I can assure you that it is worth the wait. Nothing is better than fresh. Those dumplings are phenomenal. Especially in Reno, this is definitely a hidden gem. They also make things like baked egg tarts, rice cakes, etc. Their prices are more than reasonable. They are perfect for sharing. That is what we do each time we come here. We usually buy lots of dumplings and baked buns, and they end up being a huge hit. I can't wait for our next opportunity to pick up dumplings and baked buns. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The tiny shop off Keystone in an unassuming shopping center is a delight.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The buns are fantastic and there's such an amazing variety! I'm not familiar with another bakery like it in the Reno area. We tried 5 items 3 were buns and two cookie/pastry items. Everything was fresh and the warm buns were just amazing! The egg bun was not too sweet and my favorite! The pork bun was second and note they have several savory options! I love that the sweet options are not overly sweet. If you want to be adventurous go try something new! There's enough to try something new daily! See pics .. read more

Very delicious, fresh buns! I stopped by craving egg tarts, but the real showstoppers were the buns. I especially enjoyed the pineapple red bean bun - the red bean filling was generous, warm, and incredibly fresh. The taro bun had a bit less filling but was still quite good. The red bean pineapple bun was very yummy and something I would definitely come back for. The egg tarts were also pretty good overall. There is also a 3% surcharge for card use, so I definitely recommend bringing cash. read more

I've been here a couple of times and have enjoyed their dim sum and bbq pork buns. I came in recently and ordered 6 pork buns. Their price went up and the meat ration was definitely smaller this time around. I mean it was still delicious but, a little disappointed with the meat ratio and price. The service was quick but, it's definitely not a place to eat. It's an order to go place. read more

I can't believe I've lived here five years without finding actual homemade dim sum here in Reno. Well here it is ! I haven't tried everything here yet but of the ones I've tried to including the steam and baked buns and shumai have been great . The way they've set up pricing and quantities is a little odd, but it works out fine if you end up making somewhat larger purchases ($20+). Not that many vegan or vegetarian options on the menu yet unfortunately, he needs to add more (please!), but the ones they do have are good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's not in the very best area but you're taking the food to go anyway so it doesn't really matter.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So good ! Can't wait to try more. read more

I've been here a few times and I always love the food. My favorite thing to get is the sticky rice. I'm also happy to see that they've added a dim sum combo option because I want a little bit of everything. A ten minute wait and they will steam everything for you. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We opted to just eat at the one table available.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He provided us with chopsticks and soy sauce and we devoured everything but the moon cakes. We saved them for later because they are quite filling. I will be back to pick up something whenever I'm on this side of town. Only down side was that they were out of curry buns and mushroom buns. FYI - They prefer if you pay with cash. read more

Great little hidden gem in Reno! Love their buns, dumplings and custards. So far my favorite place to go to when I'm craving those items. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Too bad you can't dine in, it's a small place for takeout only.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I never have to wait too long for my food so that's always a plus! I do want to try some of their other hot items next time, but I always have to order my favorites. read more

All this for around $90 Now, if the food was good I wouldn't mind but here's the issue. The ShuMai & shrimp dumplings was ok but very bland. The sticky rice was sad; no meat whatsoever. The pork had so much fat and not sufficient. The buns had barely any filling & the taro rounds were old and tasteless. I mean, he couldn't even put the buns in a nice container & used paper bag knowing it was all to go! Now I don't like to write harsh reviews but when asked for some chili, he gave us 1 for all this to go food! Hubs asked for another!! Even the napkins he gave us 2 pieces ONLY!!! And when asked for mustard... 2 again WTF!!?? Cheap cheap cheap & it shows in the food being tasteless. I tried a sesame ball and even that, the mochi wasn't smooth but it was ok as it was hot & freshly made for the other customer waiting. We had a nice conversation and he offered me and my hubs one. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The owner also commented that technically you're not allowed to eat at that table because it gets busy and it's for waiting customers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were there at 10am on a Monday and there was just 1 man, waiting for his sesame balls (for this Indonesian wife; we had a lovely chat waiting) Oh! And owner didn't even give us the receipt... I'm not sure if he even calculated this correctly. Sadly, this is my first negative review ever but def not $90 worth of food. Improve your customer service skills & don't be so stingy with your ingredients. read more

I've been a customer at Honey Bakery for 6 years and it always brings me back to the taste of my childhood. The red bean pineapple buns are my favorite. My extended family loves the steamed bbq pork buns and the curry chicken buns(my fave as well). The taro bun is underrated. There cakes are yummy too, not to sweet. read more

Great little hidden hot spot for dim sum and pork buns! Food was fresh and very tasty. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Don't plan on eating in though, there's only 1 table so it's more of a take-out type restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Don't let that stop you! If this place was closer to home, I'd definitely be a regular. read more

Surprised to see an Asian bakery in Reno with good reviews, had to give it a try! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Walked in and smelled sooo good.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The man behind the counter was very nice and patient. Overall was solid but didn't blow me away. Probably the best spot to get Asian baked goods/dim sum in Reno though. Would be down to go back and try their hot food. Baked pork bun - 4/5 - Bun was mildly sweet and the pork hand a nice salty and peppery taste. Filled on the smaller end. Steamed pork bun - 3/5 - Bun was dry and pork filling seemed less than the baked version. Still good but had better. Shu Mai - 5/5 - Served steamed and juicy. I have to say this was the perfect shu mai, as the flavor of the meat were savory and fresh. Ham & Green Onion Pastry - 4/5 - More bread than filling, although it was moist. Had some sweetness which paired will with the onion and savory ham, Har Gow (Shrimp Dumpling) - 3/5 - The noodle was soft and the shrimp seemed fresh. Milk Bun - 2/5 - I must say it was sweet and tasty although the cream left a very pasty/slimy after taste in my mouth. read more

I was dying for bbq pork Bao and I found this place yesterday. I was expecting the usual fare at a Chinese bakery. In fact I was happy to find this place. This place is very pricey. My intent was to get a dozen Bao, but considering the price of $16.75 for 6 Bao I had to settle for 6. The bun was soft and tasty, but there was hardly any meat. The pork was minced. I've never had minced pork ever in Bao. And there was hardly no filling. Very disappointed. I probably won't be back. I've never had to write a bad review for a Chinese bakery. This is an exception. I can get a dozen bbq pork Bao in Sac at ABC Bakery for $21.00, that's $1.75 per bun. I'm going to have to do that whenever I'm in Sac. read more

Honey Bakery - Baked Bao with very little meat - Bakeries Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Whenever I come to Reno I stop at Honey Bakery for dim sum. Some of their items you buy as singles, like the pork buns and egg custard tarts. Some of the items have a minimum you have to buy, like the shui mai and har go. All the food is tasty and decently priced. The baked pork buns are my favorite. It's always a good idea to call ahead to make sure your order is ready. read more

I haven't updated a review since my review of the day in 2016. I love this Chinese bakery and, from time to time, drop in with my family or sneak treats with my oldest. My kids love this bakery as much as I do. Family owned and operated, the owner greeted me on this last visit that he hadn't seen us in a while. I joked that I was watching my carbs. Lol, I hadn't been in a while because I have no willpower when it comes to food! Sorry, coach, if you're reading this. The owner has changed a few things on this menu since reopening after Covid. They serve dim sum, more bakery items, and only a variety of buns for the day; get there at opening to have your pick. Sesame balls are a must here! Taro and egg custard are my favorite sweet buns, and their chicken curry and pork buns are my favorite savory buns. I tried a few new desserts, a single egg yolk pastry, a Taro su, and a taro roll cake. I would highly recommend it all! My daughter had to try the taro cake roll because they were out of the taro buns already. Can you tell we love Taro? It's our island roots. It's just a quaint little shop locally owned and operated. Honey bakery is located in the Savemart shopping center off of Keystone. Tip: Double-check posted hours. They close for a month from January-February. The owner is great about posting when he closes the shop. Dim sum is made to order, so give yourself time to wait. I always come back. read more

Employees were very nice and helpful. Best sui mai I've ever had! The shrimp dumplings were also delicious. Really wanted to try their custard tarts, but they were all sold out - will definitely come earlier next time so make sure it's in stock. read more

TLDR: Siu Mai is one of the best I've had! Honestly, for the Siu Mai alone, this bakery is 4 stars. It's REALLY that good. Unfortunately, the other dishes were just... "okay". If everything else was good, this place would be 5 stars for sure. Knowing what we know now, we would have ordered 16 of those pieces. That's just one order! At first, we thought that's too much sui mai, so we got the combo B instead, where we could pick and choose the various dim sum. So as I mentioned before, GET the siu mai. It's really a top 5 dish for me. We also ordered the white BBQ bao. It was ok. Not enough filling, too much bread. But the bread is light and fluffy. We also ordered the egg custard bun. I didn't like that one as much. That bread is a bit rubbery. I also got a Louts-wrapped rice, which is normally one of my favorite dim sums. It was a bit under-flavored. I would prefer a stronger sauce and filling. The siu mai is definitely the star of the restaurant, and they know it, as it's the only dish that has 16!! pieces. Now if only they can improve the quality of their other stuff. read more

The name sounds like a sweet donut shop... but no, it's an Asian Dumpling and Bun shop. They serve sweet, savory, sausage and shrimp, or Egg Custard. Friendly service with a smile. [[HIGHLIGHT]]To-Go only... no tables for sitting.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Here visiting family and playing Basketball at the Convention Center in Reno. We was looking for some Bbq pork bun, Honey Bakery pops up. We were hoping for some good BBQ pork bun. We was disappointed right away with the price. Guy comes out from the back and was greeted some what of not in a nice way. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place was empty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Since we was here already and craving it. We decided to order 10 bbq pork bun and and 6 egg tarts anyways. When we got to our destination we tried their pork buns and it was a total fail. It barely had meat. It had good flavor but All buns no meat. Where is the meat guys? The egg tart was too flacky. It would just crumble in your hand when you pick it up. This place is very PRICEY for what they offer. I wanted to give this place a good review too. I feel sorry because I saw the lady working in the back with her baby attached to her back working. 1 star for the food and price. 3 star for working hard. Sorry no pictures. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This bakery is truly "hole-in-the-wall" In the best way possible.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I tried to explore a lot anytime I was in Reno for work. This bakery did not disappoint. It was the perfect Cantonese bakery. The perfect baos, fantastic dan tats, the coconut pudding was freaking fantastic. The first time I came here they didn't have everything I wanted, but the owner promised if I came back the next day he would have those things. Not his fault. I came in late during the day so I'm not surprised that they had run out of things because it was so late. Him in the next day and he had those things I wanted and they were fantastic. Highly recommended If you need that Chinese bakery fix. The prices are very fair. Would totally go back in a heartbeat. read more

Ordered a cake for my grandmas 90th Birthday at Honey Bakery a couple weeks ago for today 8/17/24. The process was pretty easy choosing cake size, flavors and decoration. We opted for fresh strawberries and mango 14" on bottom and 10" on top (Served 50 people). Cake was beautifully decorated and everyone loved the cake! Just how we imagined it would be, spongy, moist and sweetened to perfection. Cake was packed in a very convenient box with handles which was very useful getting into the car and out. Service was prompt and cake was ready at promised time. We will be ordering from Honey Bakery in the near future for our next event. read more

Quality/Quantity - All made from scratch. Today, we got 4 different kinds of buns - BBQ Pork, Chicken, Pineapple, and Coconut Pineapple. All were good, but not as good as the ones we get in the Bay Area, CA. We also bought an egg tart and moon cake - The egg tart was okay, but the moon cake was the best out of all the pastries we got. They also have cakes, Dim Sum, a few selected entrees, tapioca drinks, etc; see pictures. Atmosphere - Small take out bakery. Open 7 days a week from 9:30am to 7pm. Plenty of mall parking. Service - 5 stars, the lady (I think the owner, but she says she is not) was very friendly and helpful. Not only did she give us suggestions on what to buy, but she also advised us for future reference to call ahead and she will have our order ready for us. Price - $20, reasonably priced, but slightly more expensive than buying from the Bay Area, CA. Owner Comment - Congrats on your 16+ years of success. read more

I really enjoy Honey Bakery and what they offer! When walking in, you're greeted by the owners and display cases that shows what is offered. They are very friendly and will answered questions you may have. The shop itself is small and offers a table to eat, but I'd recommend taking your food to go. I find the prices to be fair and the food to be really yummy! I'd be interested in ordering a custom cake due of the fruit options. I'll be eagerly returning to try every item, for sure recommend checking out! read more

We were excited to try this place for some good dim sum on the way back from our trip from Reno. This was an all-around absolutely terrible experience--from the food, the service, to the prices. [[HIGHLIGHT]]When walked up this morning, Monday, Memorial Day, the place was empty. We were the only customers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The man from the back came out; no smile, no greetings, just a grumpy face. We ordered the dim sum combo ($21.99), sticky rice in lotus leaves (almost $12 for 2), and a taro bun. It came out to over $40. There's a 3% charge for paying with a credit card. OK, we don't mind paying for good quality food at decent amount, but this was neither. He asked if we wanted the food steamed. Weird question, because one would expect for the food to be hot...He said it would take 10 minutes to steam. I then asked if we can eat there since there was a table, and there were literally no other customers. He hesitated and said "Uh, if I not busy." WTH! So we opted to take the food to eat in the car before the drive back home. Asked for hot sauce; he said the hot sauce in a container would have a charge. Whatever. So annoyed at this point already. We couldn't get out fast enough. The food: the dumpling skins were too wet and the filling in the siu mai was pasty as if it was undercooked or something. Just terrible texture all around. The filling in the taro bun was almost nonexistent as some other reviewers mentioned. The sticky rice was OK, but definitely not worth $6 each (and they sell them as a 2-pack, so you cant even buy just one). UGH!!! The whole thing was just so annoying! Such a waste of money. read more

Honey Bakery - Bun-to-filling ratio... - Bakeries Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Was excited to try this place today. We got the Dim Sum combo #2 where you can choose from a list of items and get a minimum of 12. I liked this because it was nice to get the exact quantity you prefer for each item, instead of having to get a full order of 4-6 pieces. Perfect for trying lots of things!! I've had a lot of dim sum in my life and I was relieved to find everything tasted authentic and so familiar! Texture is a huge part of the dim sum experience and all the different aspects were present: tarts were creamy and flaky, custard set like flan; dumplings were bouncy and elasticky, a crunch here and there; sticky rice was melt in your mouth smooth with perfect little pebbles of meat; bao was smooth and silky, fluffy and centered with a ball of cookie-dough dense yolky magic. Flavors were subtle and spot on. Both the shrimp and mushroom siu mais with pork were incredible. Measures up to well to some of the finest dim sum I've tried. Also important is how we felt after, which is great. I have a sensitive stomach and greasy food (which dim sum can be) doesn't agree with me. So that was another relief. I'm so glad I found this place. It's pretty affordable too, we spent $37 for 2 ppl for brunch with a bun and tart left over :) Highly recommend you go have a picnic at Idlewild or your backyard this summer like we just did! Can't wait to go back for the next round!! read more
