    Pork floss bun
    Chrissy N.

    Got some of their pastries through Wee and wow, they did not disappoint. Arrived fresh and I love their pork floss bun. It has the right amount of cream inside the bun, well balance of creaminess, salty and sweet.

    Delicious fresh baked goods

    Great service and delicious baked goods! We got there right when they opened and the staff walked us through all of the options! Would definitely come back. My favorite was the mango cream cheese bread and the bamboo charcoal taro soft bread.

    This bakery has really good birthday cakes and other pastries, such as bread, cookies, pies, and cakes. This is the only place where I want to buy birthday cakes, because their birthday cakes taste so delicious and are just perfect. They have many choices of birthday cake styles and sizes. The service is alright. The staff lacks interpersonal communication skills, such as greeting customers, and they don't seem that friendly to customers. If you want a delicious pastry or birthday cake, then I would highly recommend this bakery for you.

    One of my go to bakeries for cake on any occasion. Super easy to order by phone and pick up is a breeze. A plus for accepting credit cards. You cannot go wrong with the Pandan or Mango cake. The cake itself is light and airy and not overly sweet. The fruit is always fresh.

    Fresh Mango Birthday Cake

    I've loved baled goods at Kamalan previously, but never given a try with their birthday cakes. So glad I did yesterday! The bakery was so accommodating for me to order at 10 AM for a pickup at 1 PM. The pictures of the fresh mango cake caught my eyes, so I went with that as a 10" calke for a party of 15 people -- and that was a lot! I'd recommend going for 8" for 15 people the next time. The cake was good -- the mango was tart and sweet, so so fresh! The frosting is not too sweet either, which is a great Asian compliment! The only thing I would say as needs improvement is some layers of the sheet cake was dry on the outer edges, so maybe a little overbaked? Overall, I would order this again, and would love to try their Pandan Durian flavor!

    One of my Houston friends posted about this bakery on social media so I took note. This past weekend, we visited from San Antonio so I had to stop by to check it out. I bought some for my Dad, my husband and myself and some to share with neighbors and other family. I bought a custard bun, bacon cheese bun, pork sung bun, Danish BBQ bun, Danish coconut bun, several mango cream cheese, several coconut pineapple cake, small sausage bun and ham cheese bun. What I tried so far is so fresh and soft. There were other refrigerated items which I wished I could've brought home but next time. It's next to Jungle Cafe so go check it out!

    Kamalan Bakery was operating during CoVid19 lockdown back in June 2020. So many signs posted on the windows.

    Kudos to 葛瑪蘭面包坊 Kamalan Bakery for moving from Welfresh Supermarket in Sugar Land as a in-house bakery to independent restaurant in Houston Chinatown over 5 years ago. Since it moved to near my house, I get to eat more freshly baked breads with creative ingredients. There are plenty of parking at Dun Huang Plaza. I normal park in the garage and walk pass to Chase Bank to get some cash first. Then stop in for breads. I don't really have favorites when it comes to Taiwanese bread and pastry. I missed breads from Olympic Chinese Bakery, though. Kalaman Bakery is the best alternative. Others like 85C and Six Ping Bakery just can't compete.

    I heard that this spot has the best bread from my Taiwanese cousin...and the quality is truly on point. Kamalan is an Asian bakery that has Vietnamese/Taiwanese influences. I mean where else can you get pandan flavored breads or those small taro flaky swirl delicacies? My favorite breads to get are the savory flaky tuna triangle bread, small flaky swirl spheres (I've had the matcha and the taro and both are delicious), and the simple sweet butter bread. They have a bunch of other items that I would love to get--like their pandan puff cake thing, but there's almonds on it so my nut-allergy Yelpers beware! Everything is truly so fresh and of good quality. Of all the Asian bakeries I've tried here, Kamalan has the highest quality for sure...and the price isn't even that much of a difference. I would definitely choose Kamalan and Six Ping over 85c because of the small business/small batch support and honestly...the prices and quality for it! Come to Kamalan and get your shop on. They also limit the number of people inside their tiny bakery with Covid so that's a plus. Service has always been very efficient, fast and friendly. Shoutout to the sweet Latinx gal who works the cashier station every time I visit. She's dope! Pro Tip: Credit is only with totals of $10 or more, so usually that's about five breads. I have zero problem hitting that total every time I visit.

    Very avg run of the mill Chinese bakery. Probably slightly less than 85deg or Six Ping...but just slightly. The cashier lady was super sweet and friendly (which is not always the case in some of the others I've been to). Decent spread, not vast. The actual baked goods were fresh and tasty as always. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here because pretty much every plaza on Bellaire blv has 2 or 3 of these types of places. Just pick any. Final Grade: B+ If I'm ever around this plaza, I might stop by.

    I wish I lived in Houston just for this bakery! My friends and I taste-tested a few baked goods from here, and all of them were a hit. Not only was the bread itself soft and fluffy, but the various fillings -- we tried red bean and taro -- were also very flavorful (not to mention, packed to the brim). Must-orders: Black Sesame Taro Bread, Sesame Red Bean Bun, Pork Sung Bun

    This place is usually so good but my most recent trip was a miss. The pandan mousse tasted like it…read morehad been sitting in the refrigerator for a while and didn't taste like much, if anything at all. We also ordered a ube choux and two macarons (vanilla and pistachio). The ube choux was much better, the ube filling actually tastes like ube, which is pretty rare in ube-related food or drink. The choux, however, reminded me of pastry that has been sitting out for a while - kinda hard. The macarons were actually great. Flaky, soft, and the fillings were delicious. Sad that the quality has dropped so much.

    I was looking for a small treat in Chinatown and obviously 10000 options came up. However, we…read moredecided on Desseire as an Asian-flavored French techniqued bakery sounded like an excellent option. Its in a less trafficked area of Chinatown and sort of tucked away in a corner of the strip mall. It has a casual pick up and go vibe, with display cases of baked goods and a couple options on the counter (dont miss the caneles). The cashier (potentially also the baker) was friendly and was super patient with us as we were making decisions and then noticing a special and adding extra goods (sorry for making you box and unbox so many times!) Anyways, all the baked goods we got were reasonably priced around $3-4. They also have some larger tiramisu options but we didn't grab any this time. I got a canele, a variety of choux, and some cupcakes. I enjoyed the canele and it had a very nice crust but the center wasn't as custardy as some I've had but regardless I enjoyed it and I also rarely see caneles so it was a nice treat. The choux were the winners for me though, filled with various creams (I got mango, pandan, and pistachio). I really liked the choux pastry and found it light and crisp. The filling was also perfect, light, held its texture and didn't spill out as I was eating it, and perfect level of sweetness for me. I also enjoyed flavor of the cupcakes but I did think they were slightly dense. Overall, this was such a great find and glad we stopped by. It may end up becoming one of my staples to have pastries for the week!

I was told these owners bought that place and are remodeling, I won't mention the name , but I spoke to a man last weekend who told me it was indeed true, but they were still remodeling. He said give it another month or so. I said OK, we will try you all out. OMG!! The date Maamoul was out of this world!! The other desserts were very good! I don't EVEN CARE if that other place reopens because the Maamoul ALONE was worth switching loyalty! I will include pictures of everything my husband bought that day. The only caveat is my husband said it was a beautiful cafe( you're going to pay for that) and everything came up to about $27 he said, a little pricey, but that Maamoul literally brought tears to my eyes!

There was barely any fruit filling inside, which made it feel underwhelming overall. I also asked about the flavor of the mushroom-shaped dessert, and the employee behind the counter didn't know. He had to ask someone else, and when he came back to answer me, he spoke so quietly I still couldn't understand what he said. For two small desserts, the total was nearly $30, which definitely didn't match the quality or experience. Sadly, I wouldn't return

    My BF told me this place has incredible food for great value…read more Beef Noodle Soup - This is only $10? The value is as incredible as the flavor. Goodness, can we have one open near me? Very hearty and not too spicy. The broth is rich with a refreshing relish tang. My BF and I shared a bowl because there was no way I would've finished it on my own with everything else we ordered. Chicken Dumplings in Beef Soup - Seems to use the same broth as the Beef Noodle Soup. Not my personal favorite because the dumpling wrapper is a bit too thick, but it's a small miss considering how fond I already am of this place. Pan-Fried Pork Dumplings - How is this place making money? These things are massive and deliciously oily. There's a clean Maillard effect on the bottom that adds so much flavor. They also have an interesting fold--I've never seen dumplings shaped quite like this before. The pork flavor comes through strongly with the classic scallion combo. Steamed Bao Bun - Yaass, reliving my Chinese drama dreams. These weren't as sweet as the commercial ones, which I personally prefer. Still, I reckon this is how they tasted in those shows, so I'm stoked for the experience. Now, will I say this is the absolute best dumpling place in Houston? No--but there is something undeniably attractive about this place, and it is fundamentally delicious. It embodies one of the best versions of a classic mom-and-pop restaurant, serving homemade food that isn't perfect but reflects craftsmanship and care beyond the appeal of modern restaurants. My dumplings weren't wrapped with perfect precision, nor were they the pinnacle of healthy eating. They were just blatantly delicious--like when your mom cooks your favorite meal on a weekend night. That's why I would come back. This place represents the most authentic form of home and freedom in food. The downside of all the carbs I ate is that I had to volunteer at my local theatre afterward, and I was crashing haaaaaard while sending this place so much love.

I ended up making a second meal for later with all the food. Had a option of rice/ noodles. I wish I got the noodles.

While there are crepe cakes available…read moreeverywhere, Lady M is the OG and their crepe cakes consistently deliver a silky, fluff delicate delight for special occasions. Each cake is made of layers of individual crepes spread with a thin layer of cream so it takes more effort to make one of these than the usual cake. ** Dubai chocolate (4/5)-- seasonal and soon to be replace with Dubai chocolate strawberry! Although pistachio cream and chocolate are usually pretty dense, the cream here still remained fluffy and light while feeling decadent. The pistachio didn't taste artificial either. ** Green tea crepe cake (5/5)-- always a classic and perfect for fans of strong tea flavor. Fluffy, airy, melt in your mouth goodness. Be wary of inhaling while you eat because of the matcha powder! Besides the crepe cakes, they also have "normal" sponge cake, mont Blancs, chocolate covered treats, and coffee/teas. The grand interior and set up of this location makes it feel luxurious but could definitely be intimidating or less appealing to solo visitors or those who just want to pop in and out. There are waiters greeting you at the front and a line of staff at the pastry case at the back. No price tags in the display case so sticker shock may be a possibility (there is a menu to browse for dine in you could ask for though). The inside looks like somewhere for high tea, and the service fits the part. The restrooms were clean too. It was really quiet on a weekend morning with just us. One thing I didn't like was it was FREEZING inside. Even with a hoodie, I was still quite cold so it was harder to enjoy the cakes to the fullest. Lady M will still be a special occasion place for me instead of a usual stop, but I'm happy to have the option to visit whenever instead of flying to New York, etc. If you've never had a "good" crepe cake, definitely try their original or green tea matcha versions!

The staff at this location were friendly and accommodating, which made the experience even better.
