I was looking for a local place to get fresh fruit sponge cake and SO glad to have found this place! They require at least 2 days notice to place an order, must pay in advance, and is cash only. The cake was super good! The sponge cake was airy and fluffy and the cream was light and not too sweet. Will definitely be ordering from here again. read more

Soft, savory and sweet breads. This place perfectly delivers all these. I like getting their bbq pork bun, hotdog bun, cheese corn and pineapple breads. All these breads have soft and airy dough that is pillowy with a hint of sweetness. Bbq pork bun has enough fillings that you get in every bite. It is savory with meat so tender with chewy dough that paired with it perfectly. I can easily eat two or more in one seating as they're soft and not too doughy. They're closed on Mondays so I make sure to get here on Tuesday mornings for fresh, warm breads to start my day off. The lady who runs this place is friendly and helpful if you have any questions about their menu. This is a take out place only as there's no seating inside to dine in. Make sure you have cash ready as they only take that for method of payment. Definitely a must try when you're in the area. read more

I've been coming to this Chinese bakery for a while and I try to stop by whenever my parents are looking for some baked goods. My favorite is the Pork and Veggie buns. They are a good size and have just the right amount of filling. There are lots of baked goods to choose from and I think I tried them all. The lady behind the counter is sweet and nice and very helpful. It is cash only here. I'm glad to support her small business. The location is not the safest in the area. Just be aware of your surroundings. read more

Qiang's Bakery - a variety of pastries on a wall - Bakeries Near Me - Stockton, California

Cash only . Togo orders only , no dining tables available. There really isn't any ambiance here, the counter is disorganized. I felt over whelmed trying to place an order . Don't do well in a clutter environment . This bakery surely elevated my anxiety. My GF was with me and we just randomly picked a few pastries to try . Special order cakes need 2 day's advance notice. Shu mai need to order ahead 30 minutes to an hour to give time to steam. Streamed rice cakes were my favorite , my friends like all the pastries except for the pineapple chunks pastry. I don't care for the red bean moon cake, the fillings were to dense for my liking. read more

They have really good pork buns and egg custard tarts. They also make good pineapple buns and sui mai

My FIL likes traditional eats and this is definitely a traditional place. We stopped here for some snacks and my husband went a bit overboard, but we were able to sample a lot of offerings and brings lots of treats with us on our visit. The location is not in a very good part of town so lock your door and be ready to deal with people you may not want to encounter. The bakery itself is austere; white walls and floor, bare bones, old school. The family working is patient and nice. We were able to get pork buns with cabbage, egg custard, baked and steamed bao and much more so they have a decent selection, even after noon. I love red bean and the sesame balls with far too large for me. I got a mostly oil and raw dough flavor instead of the sesame and red bean taste I wanted. I was surprised how much I enjoyed their baked red bean pastry, however, it was simple and tasty. My husband enjoys the meat buns and overall it's a fine place to stop if you are craving traditional Chinese fare. read more

More of a take out place. Service was fast and the place was alright and clean. Decently priced and very good food. Usually get bbq chicken or pork buns around 5 or more lol. Bf loves it because they have chicken baked buns cuz he can't have pork. Worth coming here! read more

CASH ONLY--mom and pop Chinese bakery in Stockton--one of the best Cantonese one's I've found! The egg tarts are nice and flakey--get there by lunchtime or they might run out. Their pineapple buns are also v yummy--crispy sweet top with my personal favorite filling--custard. Plenty of parking in the plaza! I always spend my money at the banh mi spot to get sandwiches and egg rolls and then walk down here while I'm waiting for my order. This plaza takes all my money but the little businesses are worth it--a solid lunch and extra snacks each time! read more

Had this place bookmarked for a while now and since I was in Stockton at the time, I decided to finally swing by here. Got a few egg tarts and BBQ pork buns. Egg tarts were alright. Crust wasn't anything special and although the custard was smooth and silky, it had a strong eggy taste to it (not my preference, I like a more subtle eggy taste). As for the BBQ pork buns, pretty decent. Soft bread, tasty filling. Pork pieces were plentiful but a little too chewy. Maybe I'm just spoiled by the egg tarts and BBQ pork buns in the Bay Area, but the ones here were overall average. They still get the job done and satisfy cravings for them though. Recommend stopping by if you're in/around Stockton. *Cash only!* read more

I am from New York, my wife from San Francisco. We both love this authentic Chinese bakery. She loves the pineapple custard bun, my favorite is the. Dai ( big) chicken steam bun. It is huge with black mushroom, half an egg and stuff with flavorful pieces of chicken. The baked roast pork buns are soft and melt in your mouth. They have other popular Chinese bakery items If you're used to Chinese bakeries in Chinatown, this is pretty much equivalent read more

Mom & Pop shop reminding me of good Cantonese pastry like the ones in Oakland Chinatown. Price was reasonable, and they had my kid's favorite hot dog wrapped in a bun blanket! This is a to go place, and the Owners were friendly; reminds me of the next door aunt & uncle. Thank you Jesus! read more

Qiang's Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Stockton, California

Interior: To-go only. There is a fridge and a few display cases/racks, not much to see. Service: Great! Def a mom and pop shop kind of vibe. Bonus points for speaking Canto if you need to practice :) Food: This is where I take the most issue, though disclaimer, I did go near the end of the day so the quality of it may be lacking because I got old stuff. I got 4 things: 1x dai gai bao (big chicken bun), x2 Char sieu so (bbq pork wrapped in flakey pastry), x3 Steamed cakes, and x3 Dan tat (egg tarts). The dai gai bao (big chicken bun): it was just okay, would give it a 3/5. It was the last one of the day but it was still warm, and soft so bonus points for that. This bun for those of you who don't know is supposed to be big and filled with lots of things: ground chicken, usually a large mushroom (like a shitake), half a hard boiled egg, and a piece of lap cherng (chinese sausage). It had all these things. But the thing that threw me off were the mixed in veggies which were definitely frozen peas and carrots and that you had to take one big bite (maybe 3/4 of and inch) before you even reached the filling. So the filling to steamed bun ratio was a little disappointing. The Char sieu so: A 2/5. The char sieu (bbq pork) itself was a disappointment, I felt like it was lacking in flavor and filling in general. The pastry was just okay. Egg wash was a bit thick, so instead of just browning the pastry I could actually taste the egg. Maybe a plus in some people's books? The Steamed sponge cake: ie the Ji bao dan gao. A 1/5 :( These were placed in the display case, I was hesitant to buy them seeing as there were so many left. But I thought to myself, "hey, it's my first time here, I should support the local business"... and I normally love sponge cake. Unfortunately, these were super dry on the top, it had crusted over. Again, it could be that I came near the end of the day but it was a huge disappointment. The flavor was okay with an orange taste (usually I believe they use some sort of orange peel to flavor? but not always). Overall, not sure I'd come back. I'd love to continue supporting them but I was left with much to be desired. I did note that they also sell Yue beng (moon cakes) but I am not sure how good they are. I'd consider going back to try other things like the BBQ pork buns but if it's anything like the filling in the flaky pastry I tried, I know I wouldn't like it. I did go an hour before closing so please take that into account when reading my review. I'm sure things are much better in the first half of the day when they're more fresh! So if I go back, it would def be to see if it's better in the mornings. Will update if I do. read more

Only place I went to for baked pork buns , but last time I went there wasn't much filling , wish there was more filling . I only was biting bread :/ But other then that amazing flavors , its ONLY CASH . Sucks because I pass by wanting some and I can't because I only use card :( read more

I go for the sesame balls, wife loves them. Also buy the meat filled ones, which are great. Since I'm driving out from Manteca, I always buy all that they have at the time, then freeze for future use, they freeze well and will usually last us two to three months. read more

Everything about this bakery is great the food the service even how comfortable the place is inside perfect bakery with so much variety. Sesame and hot dog bagels are probably some of the best I've tried. Had to make an account just to post this. read more

Solid Chinese cake. Swept in on a Saturday to see if they had a cake for my Dad's birthday and they made it in a day. We live so far from Chinatown and Chinese cake is a family favorite - so finding a place close by was a total win. read more

I am so happy I found steamed rice cakes and egg custard here in Stockton; but I love Qiang's for a whole lot more than that -- siomai (steamed only when ordered), baked and steamed barbecue pork buns, moon cakes, sticky rice in lotus leaf -- and a lot of other goodies! read more

Best place for Chinese leaf wrapped tamales, egg tarts, sweet white rice paddies, bbq baked buns, savory golden brown pouches, and much more treats and baked goods! Thanks for keeping traditional Chinese cooking alive and delicious!!! read more

Still not quite sure how to pronounce this restaurant's name but it's great! The staff was really friendly and patient as we tried to decide what to get. Make sure you go early to get the full selection of items before they run out but whatever you get will be good! We each ordered a to go box filled with goodies and it was under $10 for each of us. You'll definitely walk away feeling like you got great food at a great value and you'll have leftovers for later! We'll definitely be returning to try more from the menu and grab some repeats as well! I also love that they have lychee juice boxes- so yummy!! read more

Came in here to get a birthday cake and some pork buns. Small little shop you have to put your order in a day prior to pick up the cake came out good fruits were nice and fresh and the cake is soft and fresh and the cream is not overly sweet to a point you don't want to eat anymore it's actually light on the stomach that makes you want another piece, and the pork bun wasn't the best but it fulfilled my craving. Enjoy your cake read more

I have a thing for pudding and egg custard is close enough. I'll buy it for $3 dollars but not a penny more. The egg custards here were $0.70. I bought two. To get: + Egg custard + Mung bean cake + Chicken pie Ate it, finished it, loved it! The lady and I had communication problems because I was trying to make things easier for her by speaking in Mandarian but I think she speaks Canto.. Ah, it doesn't matter. The store is not very attractive but it doesn't make a difference if you're not trying to loiter. If you see fresh pastries on a rack you can ask them for those instead of the ones on display, but I saved my mung bean cake for a day and it tasted just fine! Will visit again for egg custards! read more

I was told by my cousin these guys were the go to when it came to bbq pork buns....ehhh they weren't bad but the were lacking in the meat department. I bit into the 1st and I got a mouthful of the bread. And on the 2nd bite a little bit of meat filling. Talk about skimpy. I'm used to nice full on the bottom pork bun like in china town either SF or Oaktown. I am a pork bun connoisseur! I know my ish!! I will not be back for these "Where's the Pork" pork buns. Sorry guys I'll wait to get my fix back in the bay! read more

We were looking for the best place to get some steamed pork buns, and just overall a great Chinese bakery. We live in Tracy so our options are limited. After doing some research we came across Qiangs and decided to take the 35 minute drive there. They had a bunch of options and was exactly what we were looking for. We left with 10 steamed pork buns, 2 baked pork buns, 6 cocktail buns, 1 bag of mini cookies, 1 sticky cookie, and 1 deep fried pork dumpling for 17 DOLLARS. I was shocked it was so inexpensive. This place is definitely a hidden gem in the middle of the ghetto. It's a small hole in the wall, and it's 100% worth the trip. This is a cash only establishment. Enjoy! read more

Wife and I stop by whenever we are going to be in the area. We usually get sesame seed balls, egg tarts, apple turn overs and pork buns. This time the egg tarts were just under cooked and the apple turnovers very flaky but filling wasn't as good as I remember. At least the sesame seed balls were the same and had good filling. read more

The food is above okay but I get very suspicious on a place that only takes cash. They have to be avoiding paying taxes. I will probably be back every 4-5 years. read more

The rose cakes are fluffy and delicious, and the service is extremely friendly. I'll definitely have to come back to try more.

I tried them because my friend kept raving about the pork buns.... I bought one and was horribly disappointed. The place is very sloppy looking inside, but I can pardon that. I ordered one BBQ pork bun -- just one. It was a perfect time for a snack when I went. The older man who helped me mumbled the price; I heard "one dollar" but not the cents... okay, that's fine. I handed him a $5 bill. I got 34¢ back.... he turned to the drawer as if to get the rest of my change, but closed it instead and shuffled off... okay. Well. He's an older gentleman, and it's a small business, so I didn't feel the need to correct the mistake. I don't mind being out less than $4, typically. I come home with my still-warm pork bun.... I'm sorry, but how does anyone like this?? Fat chunks of fatty pork meat that's saturated in what I can only assume is sweet and sour sauce??? And the paper it was baked on took a thick layer of bread with it when I removed it. The bun itself is pretty good, but the BBQ pork filling was absolutely nauseating. I threw it away and I'm probably not coming back, since I got ripped off for a piece of garbage. I immediately regret not saying anything about the change I was owed. I'll still give the place a second star because the place has a lot of variety to offer. I just have no inclination to go back there for myself after this experience. Feel free to visit yourself, just don't get the pork bun, if you know what's good for you. YUCK! read more
