    Chestnut cake for my grandma
    Michelle C.

    We bought a chestnut cake for my grandma's birthday and we were lucky that we were able to pick up a cake right before dinner without a reservation ahead of time. :) We were pretty impressed with the cake, reminded us of the cakes that we used to eat growing up in Hong Kong. Also, I wanted to give a shout out to the gentleman behind the counter, he has great penmanship!

    Look at the generous chestnut filling!

    My favorite is their chestnut roll cake and Lo Bak Goh. The chestnut filling is very generous and not overly sweet. If you want a full roll it needs to be ordered in advance but they do sell slices Same with the Lo Bak Goh. Not overly sweet like most bakeries and they usually sell out fast. The mini apple pie is also very good. My friend bought a mango cake near closing and it was very fresh and delicious. I love their attentiveness and excellent customer service. Be aware it's cash only.

    It's wonderful that they are still making fresh cakes during this time. The mango cake here is so good. I love the fact that they add fresh mangos to the cake, the cake itself is so pretty, and the taste is a mixture between vanilla and mango tasting.

    I like the buns and moon cake here. They have the mini buns so you get to try assorted. As well, the service is not bad. I mean not super exceptional. Standard buy 6 no tax. The place can be quite busy. But they do make everything fresh daily. Yes couple times a day. So, you don't have to come super early to get what you want. My favorite is their curry bun. Their chicken bun and sausage bun is not bad. The sausage bun is my sister favorite but I prefer bun with some kind of sauce. The curry beef bun is not too spicy and it does have quite a bit of meat. I usually get the mini ones. Not the one big full size one. I do enjoy coming here.

    Yummy!

    This is a classic and I would come here with my grandparents and parents when younger to buy custard tarts and pork buns. I have fond memories of the mooncakes here. This place still makes them as good as I remember. And I usually pick up fruit cakes here for special occasions like birthdays. If you haven't tried one of their birthday cakes you must! You'll get hooked. Street parking is plentiful if you have to drive and there is a passenger parking zone almost in front of this store if you are just popping in to buy something and dashing back out with a friend in the car. Everything is fairly inexpensive but very good!

    $10 lunch special... congee, noodles and beverage

    We found this place by chance on our weekend trip to Vancouver over Christmas. The two places we really wanted to try in Chinatown were closed for Christmas Eve (unheard of here in Texas). First, this place is cash only. Thankfully, there is an ATM machine at the bank right across the street. The restaurant is small and on the 2nd floor. The bakery is even smaller and is on the first floor. We arrived for lunch on 12/24. I got a meal of flat noodles, congee and milk tea all for about $10. My bf got another flat noodle dish that had chicken and gravy and was even better with a smoked flavor. I wish we could have returned to try more items; next time we're in town!

    Another Vancouver Classic. If you haven't eaten (upstairs) here or picked up baked goods you are missing out.

    Special Spaghetti in Club Sauce.

    There were days when I would go here with my grandparents when I was a little kid to buy the fresh buns that they would bake. I would always go for the bbq buns and also the other savoury buns available. Now that I am a bit older, I still come here whenever I get a chance to visit Chinatown. Then again, it is just average service at the bakery. They do cakes here as well, but the cakes are not as sweet if you compare to the Westernized cake with the loads of sugar they have.

    Usually for last few years I've been ordering from Esther at Dipnsip & Unni Pastries. I was…read morereferred at my friend's wedding as I was looking for cakes and pastries for in-laws. Well it seems ownership has changed and the new owner doesn't give two craps about prior customers, honoring discounts, replying back timely or being more friendly? Was playing email tag and finally submitted the 39 flavors and didn't hear back until after another week and then told they won't deliver only in morning when they know our reservation was for 730pm and they're open until 9? I even replied back and nothing. We own and run several business in lower mainland and in United States and this customer service from Unni Pastries is trash. At least you can do is reply back and apologize? For wasting time when I specifically told you it's for family and friends flying into town for a funeral burial. Will never use their business again. I highly suggest Mello. They replied and helped me out last minute. Shame on you! Learn how to run a business and treat customers esp previous customers who were supporting the business and fellow Krn but it's clear the new owner doesn't care about the customer or quality it's all about quantity. Maybe my 39 donuts which I offered to pay extra for time and packaging wasn't large enough but money is money. Especially during this time and economy. You should've at least replied back and even tried asking us to do pickup as the restaurant is down the road. Do better! Go to Mello which isn't too far and they bake fresh daily better pricing and reviews and consistency!

    A good assortment of pastries and surprisingly some savoury items for reasonable prices. There's a…read morelot of fruit forward flavour combinations like mango, strawberry and raspberry. Also a lot of red bean. For savoury, they have large paninis and lasagna. The service is friendly and there's sufficient indoor seating.
