This is my cousin's favorite spot for Chinese pastries. The owners are extremely friendly, and the pastries are nice and fresh. Parking can be easily found around the corner, but check street signs as you most likely have to pay. There's a parking lot in the back; however, I believe it isn't for Red Lotus customers. read more

Lots of choices of bakery items to choose from. Specialty cakes and breads. Their HK Style buns ( cocktail bun, pineapple bun ) tastes different than those from Flushing. Not necessary in a bad way, just different. read more

Been going here a few times lately for Chinese pastry. Grabbed a roll cake from their fridge, got home and saw tiny specks of mold all over it! There was another bread that tasted brittle also. This probably means they sell whatever leftovers they have and not everything is freshly baked the day of. There's no stickers on anything noting when they're made. Concerning, won't be returning. read more

Green tea fiend here and this is a review for only their green tea items. These are some of the best renditions I've had. Five stars for these! Tried green tea sponge cake wrapped/baked in paper. Surprisingly very moist with a strong green tea flavor and a subtle sweetness. At a lot of other bakeries, this cake comes out a bit dry in the center. These are even better than the infamous place in Manhattan's Chinatown, who only make these. Also tried the triangle green tea sponge cakes with a light layer of green tea cream, spread across the center . I was pleasantly surprised how good these were. Light and creamy with a nice strong flavor. These were also very moist. Freshly made: these were off to the side, still sitting on baking trays, ready to be put on display. Green tea is expensive so don't expect cheap pricing. The owner did tell me, though it's cheaper if I bought 2, it will be a $6 total. Service. I chatted with the owner at the counter and she was very nice. Decor: not much to say, very simply and basic. This place has been here for a long time. In the center of the store, there was a lot of different flavored moon cakes. I don't see those much, in bakeries. Haven't tried it. I'll definitely be back for more green tea pastries! The five star review is for the green tea cakes only because it's only items I tried. read more

Red Lotus Bakery & Cafe is a spot that my friend frequents and enjoys. We happened to be in the area when she wanted to stop by to get her boyfriend some milk tea so I decided to check it out while we were there. The bakery was amazing with plenty of fresh baked pastries when we came on a Saturday morning. Everything was individually packaged for safely. There was a wide selection of goodies to pick from. We already had lunch plans but I wanted to just try something while we were there. I decided to try their cute little Curry Dumpling ($2.00) pastry. It was little in size but packed with flavors. The exterior had the curry flavor with a very butter and crispy crust while the interior had the curry flavor but with some complimentary sweet onions. Yumm! Service was also super efficient and welcoming. They were so nice I would frequent this bakery if I lived in the area. Glad I was able to experience it! read more

My dad brought home some assorted pastries from this place and I was very pleasantly surprised. I'm not sure what they all are, but they were all excellent. The yellow cake is very moist, the pineapple cake was great, and the matcha salted egg yolk pastry was also interesting. If I were in the area, I'd definitely stop by for these. read more

Such a wonderful assortment of freshly baked goods. Always delicious and well-stocked.

A higher power lifted up the Taipan Bakery in Main Street and dropped it in Little Neck. This store takes me back to my childhood when mom would come home from work delivering roast pork buns. Of course, the price of those buns have increased from 49 cents to $3.50, but I challenge you to find a cheaper lunch these days., Everything is fresh, unless you want to pay for the eight dollar bargain bag of yesterday's leftovers. The bubble tea is not Kung Fu Tea, but it's half the price. You could also get your typical hotdog in sweetbread, anti-Chik-fil-a fried chicken sandwich, or mustard bun - as in the vegetable mustard and bun - not my cup of tea. But I'd get a cup of tea here, anytime. If you grow up in Flushing or Bayside and left, come back home to the Red Lotus Bakery, even if it's just for a mochi treat or a slice of sponge cake. read more

We visited Red Lotus Bakery & Cafe after seeing its poster of various pastry selections since my husband is a super fan of Hong Kong style bakery. The decor is authentic, clean and narrow-spaced with only 2 indoor dining tables available. We got 2 Pineapple Buns, a Taro Bun and a box of Pork Floss cake with Mayonnaise. The price is overall reasonable with proper portion. The buns were overall delicious and filled with plenty of flavorful fillings. However, the cake wasn't as delicate as what we expected, so we won't recommend it. read more

It took over me 2 months to write this review. The cakes, baos, and baked goods are all very good in terms of taste. But the service is terrible! I ordered a custom made cake with the help of their photo book. I picked the cake and asked for certain toppings. What I got was a cake with NOTHING on top except words "Happy Birthday ..." It was just white cream, no design nothing, and words in red. I didn't have to time to argue when I picked it up because I had to take the cake to a dinner party. It was just an embarrassing moment. read more

My visit was a rare but positive instance of a paper coupon bringing me in. Needing to bring a cake to a small get together, the coupon for 10% off a cake really spoke to me. Plus, I remember the days of fluffy fruit cakes at family gatherings, so this type of cake seemed perfect for the hot summer day upon us. There's a case of cakes directly to the right after you enter. Prices are nice and visible. Then you walk through an aisle of other baked goods. I've seen bigger selections, but I was very satisfied with my pork bun and corn dog (seemed more like a hot dog in a baked pastry). The cake really took the cake (ha). The presentation was lovely, and the fluffiness is still being raved about. We got the 8" strawberry shortcake for $38; RLB also threw in a birthday sign, plastic cake cutter, and two candles. Nice touch! I'd definitely come back here for a cake! They have many other flavors to choose from, too. read more

Pretty good Asian Bakery right on Northern Blvd. You get a tray and tongs and you grab what you want. Similar to Fay Day if you have ever been there. I usually get the pork filled buns. They have the hot ones as well. There's drinks and other hot stuff behind the counter but I was kind of in a rush so I just wanted something quick to go. A little pricier than normal I thought but that might be because of the location. I'll be back when I'm in the area again. read more

I needed Chinese Milk Bread and Red Lotus was the closest Chinese bakery by me according to Yelp. They are located on Northern Blvd, a few blocks over from Little Neck Pkwy. It's street parking only, and you will be really lucky if you can find a spot out front, but I usually park at the McDonald's and walk over. Red Lotus is your typical Chinese bakery but their selection is small and buns get sold out early. They also have large cakes and some individual desserts. There were only 2 packs of milk bread left at 2pm, the traditional milk bread felt a bit hard so I had to go with another type of milk bread, I mean I had no choice. I also couldn't pass up a bolo bao and grabbed one of those too. Not sure if it was too hot or if the bolo baos were old but there was no crispy, buttery, and sugary cracked crust on top. The texture was weird and like flaking off and sticking to the wrapper. Prices here are slightly higher than the Chinese bakeries in Flushing and quality is not as good. I would only come here for convenience. read more

First time visit. Get your own tray and make your selection. They sell cakes too. I saw some seasonal items such as tree shaped cookies and a ginger bread house. They are still selling mooncakes. Pro: - bakery goods look fresh - add one star for individual sealed bread - friendly service -sandwiches ( $4.50 originally) on sale for 2 for $5 after certain time. ( I went at 5 pm). We got fish and pork chop sandwich. They are ok. Nothing much to say. - Day old bread sold for 3 for $5 Con: - pricier than Flushings bakery but again, they have no competition in that area. $2 egg tart. $3.50 for bbq pork ( chai Siu bun). $2.50 for dried shredded pork bun. $1.75 for pineapple bun. On the other hand, size are overall little bigger than the Flushings ones. - we reheat them in oven before eating. Taste was so so. It wasn't bad but can't compare to those in Chinatown. Conclusion: If I really crave for Chinese bakery and I don't want to go to Flushings and Chinatown, I will come here. read more

Scam 9$ for 2 very small pieces of bread. Wouldn't come here again. Do not come here if you want to be scammed.

I haven't been to the actual bakery itself but I bought these buns at Super FL Mart in Mineola. Idk what the scallion bun is but it is easily one of the best buns I've ever had. They were a tad pricey but I guess that's how it is these days. Still decent for not having to travel to Chinatown or flushing. read more

Terrible experience with new ownership here. I had a drink here that had spoiled milk. I asked for a new drink and they refused and said i was cheap. That made absolutely no sense since the drink was not drinkable. I got sick later that day and threw up from the drink. I also asked for a receipt and they said I'm crazy to ask for one. It was such a terrible experience. read more

This was the first time we ordered birthday cake for my kid's school birthday party from this bakery, most kids said the cake tasted good. I provided the design to the bakery, but the picture on top of cake came out disappointing. I paid extra $15 to put a picture on top of the cake, but it wasn't worthy because their drawing skills needed to be improved. One of the paw patrol's eye was missing and Marshall's nose seemed blended in with his face. When I ordered the cake, the lady said that they would put some fruits around the cake on the top, but no fruits on the top of the final product. The cream was slightly thicker and more than expected, but it wasn't too sweet. The cake seemed overpriced though based on the overall quality. read more

It's good to see that there's a Chinese Bakery locate in Little Neck. Wooooo so many choices...I got a Custard Bun, Pineapple Bun, Blueberry cake, and a Strawberry Mousse Cake which the cake box packaging is so adorable and opens up like a Lotus Pad (莲花垫). I like how the baked goods are placed in these individual sealed packaging to keep it still fresh =) There other yummy baked goods contains walnuts and coconut...sadly I am allergic =( The woman that was helping me asked the cashier to give me a cranberry nougat sampler to try but a bag is $10. Pretty nice gem so definitely stop by there =) read more

Wow a Chinese Bakery in Little Neck? Similar style to those cafe/bakery chains in Downtown Chinatown only better. The only downside is paying the prices of Little Neck compared to Downtown. But still worth every penny. The baked goods are fresh, lots of choices, offers hot and cooked fare from inside the kitchen (made to order). I particularly like the egg tarts and mini buttery cakes they sell in a bagged cello package. The outstanding favorites besides those are there mini pastries. Classic favorites are the green tea flavors, egg yolk one, sesame and taro. Yum. They are great for gifting too because they have nice packaging no matter what quantity just mention you need gifting packaging. They have a snack menu and breakfast menu on the back wall. Lots of bubble tea drink flavors, they make a variety of hot teas, coffee, and they sell Snapple as well. Give this place a try. Limited seating but it's nice and clean. Bathroom is also clean. Yes! read more

Around 4PM Feb 17, 2020, my wife went to Red Lotus Bakery to buy pasta with meat sauce. The clerk took the order and took the payment. Shortly, they informed my wife that they ran out of meat sauce. My wife asked for refund since she does not like other substitutes. However, the shop refused to refund, the reason was they did not take return orders due to their shop policy. Is this ridiculous? They forced my wife to choose substitutes at the same cost. My wife is nice and it is after all only $7 item, so she took some bakery and left. She's not happy though. You know, happy wife, happy life. My wife is not happy, so I am unhappy and giving you guys a 1-star review. read more
