BEC Scallion Pancake
Maggie T.

I've wanted to try Win Son Bakery forever, and it didn't disappoint! The scallion BEC was delicious, and I liked the dipping sauce it came with. We also got the mochi donut and custard toast - I loved the saltiness and the texture of the mochi donut, but I'd skip the custard toast next time as the flavors just felt flat to me. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu though! We came around 1pm on a Saturday and the line wasn't as egregious as I anticipated. I definitely appreciated that there's a good amount of seating too!!

Scallion egg and cheese, chicken box (five spice), mochi donut

The scallion pancake egg & cheese - yum, tastes exactly how you think it will. The dip they provided wasn't my cup of tea, it had a bit of a ketchup taste which I don't like but I know many people do. A bit odd that they have Mexican hot sauce only - I think a SE Asian hot sauce or at least one that isn't vinegar-based would complement the flavors better. Chicken box (5 spice option) - I'm told it was wonderful and very crispy! The side salad was a bit heavily dressed but the dressing was a nice slightly salty yuzu flavor. Caramel date iced latte - good, nothing out of this world, some bits at the bottom so if that bothers you, stir well or just skip it. I was debating ranking the overall experience 4 vs 5 stars and then I tried the mochi donut and it alone wins the establishment 5 stars. As a native Californian I have eaten many a mochi donut and this is by FAR the best - the flavor, the perfect balance of bready and chewy texture, the sweet and slightly salty coating on the outside. Incredible. I could eat 2 or 3 in one go if I let myself. Would come back for just the mochi donut even without everything else. Makes me want to try more of their pastries.

Black Sesame Morning Bun

Delicious sesame seed latte and black sesame morning bun. The custard toast was the STAR, so good. This is a really cute cafe and bar that you can spend time sitting in. I would love to try their savory foods next time!

Xian Doujiang and BEC Scallion Pancake
Andrew L.

Came here midafternoon on a Thursday and they were fairly busy. Didn't take me long to order but most seats were taken. If possible I'd try to go at an off time, especially if you're with more than one other person I came across this spot because of the scallion pancake egg sandwiches and went for the BEC, it lived up to the hype and then some. One of the best and most unique breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. I also decided to try their xian doujiang as I'd never had a soy milk soup before and it was also really yummy! To me it tasted like an Asian French onion soup, lighter since there's no cheese and a bit more "spiced" from the ginger (I think). Was very soothing on a yucky cold April day I'm very glad I came and think it's well worth going out of your way to try!

How good is the scallion pancake bacon egg and cheese? Well, I got in a fight with my wife, and after I gave her half of it, we suddenly couldn't remember what we were fighting about. To be sure, it's a bit of an oily gutbomb, but I mean that in the absolute best way. I adore a slightly oily gutbomb. And this one is an utter delight...and that's before you even factor in the sauce. The sauce is called Ginger Deluxe, and I'm not sure how to properly describe it. It seems that the internet is also a big fan of this creamy, chunky, flavor bomb. Enough that there are recipes floating around there that seem to involve ginger (obviously), scallions, garlic, mayonnaise, ketchup, fermented bean curd, and mustard. I'm going to be making this sauce going forward. Anyway, this scallion pancake bacon egg and cheese could end conflicts around the world, provided that you serve it with the ginger deluxe sauce. I hope the United Nations follows my reviews as closely as you do, dear reader, and we'll be able to bring about world peace soon enough.

BEC Scallion Pancake
Giselle B.

people told me that this place was overhyped and I'm here to say that the food was FIRE. Especially the desserts. I still dream about that vanilla creme bun. The BEC scallion pancake was also really good- the sauce was fantastic that went with it. Fresh and flavorful. I did take out so i can't speak to the in person experience but so worth it

I was so excited to finally be able to try this girls spot! The bakery is open late which I love, though some items were sold out. The stand out dishes were - shrimp burger, absolutely amazing and super fluffy and tasty. - pork fan tuan, a taiwanese classic and it was absolutely delicious. smaller than a classic one but still so tasty (a little hard to open) now the wasabi salad was okay, as expected my boyfriend ordered the shrimp turnip cake, which was lowkey dry and bland even with the sauce and the three cup chicken chopped cheese was such a good concept but lacked flavor, almost as if it wasn't made with soy sauce! it was dissatisfying but everything else was quite good.

Busy spot on a long Labour Day weekend.
Martin S.

Perfect NYC breakfast spot for our first morning meal. We got in the lineup at around 11AM on a long weekend holiday Monday, Labour Day in 2025. Since it was such a pleasant day in Brooklyn to be outside and hanging around, the lineup was part of the fun rather than something to be endured, and being from Toronto we love our lineups, so no big deal. I asked for some recos at the order desk to save time and loaded up our savoury order with some of their Asian style pancakes and coffees. Everything was delicious! Worth seeking one of these places out, especially if you are in the mood for something different with your latte, rather than a typical bacon and eggs, sweet baked treat at a Euro place. You won't be disappointed!

Soymilk Laminated Bolo Bao Custard Toast Millet Mochi Donut
Ellen L.

Win Son was a fun place to visit for more unique pastries and drinks. Everything I got, in order from favorite to least favorite (I liked everything): -Custard toast: This was nice and creamy, soft, and a little sweet and salty. Haven't had anything like this in the city -Sweet soy milk: I love soy milk with the fried dough stick since it is a comfort food to me. The soy milk is nice on a cold day and it's not too sweet. -Laminated bolo bao: This isn't my favorite take on a bolo bun because it was more airy like a croissant, rather than a sweet bun that's denser. It was still good though, but was more like a croissant the a sweet crumble topping of a bolo bun. -Mochi donut: If you like a mochi chewy texture I think you'd like this. It has a nice sugary outside and a soft chewy inside! Inside, they have table seating, a communal table to stand at, and bar seating. They also have some outdoor dining seating.

Laminated Bolo Bao
Melissa K.

In theory, Win Son Bakery is right up my alley- Asian inspired flavors and modern takes on Asian breakfast foods. However when I visited the first time, nothing on the menu really sounded appealing to me. Since I was in the area again, I finally decided to try some pastries. The laminated bolo bao sounds perfect. The idea is there: croissant dough with the classic bolo bao sugar crust. But the execution lacks greatly. The shape of the bao makes it nearly impossible to enjoy the crust without it just falling right off. There isn't much crust to begin with either and at $6 a piece, it feels very underwhelming. The fermented red rice donut tasted like a standard donut with icing. Not sure where the fermented red rice comes in, aside from the icing being red. Also, I tend to prefer lighter donuts and this donut was quite dense. I think a mochi texture could have worked better. It's a lovely neighborhood spot that always seems to be busy, but I'm not sure I'd stop in again. Maybe for their famed scallion pancakes, but at that price point I might just consider making them myself.

Red Rice Donut
Jill L.

Fan Tuan 10/10 Yummy delicious , perfectly cooked rice wrapped around flavorful filling of egg, pork, pork floss. There was also a Chinese doughnut/cruller in my takeout box with the fan tuan. I wish I dipped it in my soy milk but I drank it all during my commute before I knew that was in the box too. Tian Soy Milk 9/10 Good soy milk. Can't go wrong. Red Rice Donut: 8/10 Wow! What an amazing texture. Really well-made donut. The texture was bouncy yet firm. Substantial yet light. The glaze was not too sweet. I just don't think it had much flavor in terms of whatever red rice would taste like. So I assume red rice is more for the novelty in the name rather than for flavor uniqueness. Great service and friendly smiles from everyone there. Great music. Would come back to do work and order other bites to try.

Scallion Bec (closer in frame) and the scallion with shrimp instead (further in frame)
Faith C.

Came to Win Son Bakery on MLK around 9:15a, shortly after opening. The sign was confusing at first because it stated "exit only" but was the only way that we could see to enter the restaurant after walking around. We saw a couple of other folks walk around too and finally enter through the "exit only" door at what I believed was the front. I wonder if the sign was accidentally misplaced that day? In any case, the server gave great recs and was very quick with her thoughts and why she thought we'd like something - which we appreciated! We got a bunch of dessert options and savory breakfast items. The scallion Bec was good, but honestly, we both thought the shrimp version tasted better with the overall Asian influence. It meshed together better while my husband thought the bacon was a bit too greasy for the sandwich when the scallion pancake already takes a lot of oil to make. The mochi donut had a wonderful texture to it - the perfect mochi bite! It was granulated sugar coated so just a note for those who may not like a tiny bit sweet. The doujiang was ok to me - I'm not sure if it naturally arrives plain but I felt it not memorable although it was texturally great. I'm sure I'd think differently if I grew up eating it, as it's a classic Chinese breakfast. Apparently you're supposed to dip them in sugary milk? We got plain soy milk because my husband didn't want sugary this time around so I think that could have affected my experience. Lastly, we got a custard toast which emulated a French toast to some extent. I'm not a huge French toast person but I and my husband both thought this one was good too. All in all, we'd come back. It seems we beat the morning rush as by 9:45a or so it was packed with folks waiting for seating, so make sure to stop by earlier or take to go!

Laminated Bolo Bao and Pine Nut Sun Cookie
Susana I.

I ordered the Jiǔcài scallion pancake ($16), laminated bolo bao ($6), and pinenut sun cookie ($5). Scallion pancake comes with a ginger mayo like sauce. It was okay, it's just the $16 price tag is hard to justify. I would probably order a meat based scallion pancake next time. The bolo bun is definitely not like your traditional pineapple bun, it's very soft and croissant like on the inside with a sugar crust exterior. The pine nut sun cookie was on the sweeter side since it has a pine nut caramelized skirt. The consistency reminded me of a palmier cookie. Definitely willing to try more of the menu next time but the desserts were good.

See all

This place was really interesting! When I found out all the cocktails were on tap, I was a bit…read moreskeptical. What do you mean you're not going to mix my cocktail right in front of me? However, I was quickly proven wrong. Not only was the service topnotch, but the drinks were surprisingly delicious and refreshing. There's a ton of options which is also surprising considering the tap only format. Upon further reflection of how tiny the bar is, it makes sense why they would go this route. It would be challenging for one person let alone two to be behind that bar shaking and stirring. I also heard there's a back area with more seating but we didn't explore much further than the front bar stool seating. Seems like a cool spot for happy hour or late night drinks and I would definitely return!

Came here for happy hour as our dinner was in the area. The happy hour deal is great! Old…read morefashions/Manhattan/daiquiri/margarita for $8 even on weekends feels unheard of in the area. We were lucky to grab 2 seats at the bar as the rest of the seating actually seemed a bit cramped and uninviting. They advertise a heated back patio but I don't think the heat was on and no one was there, which is a bummer. Regardless, the theme is nice with everything attributable to their "laboratory" ambience. Everything is served in beakers or similar glasses. It can get a bit crowded sitting at the bar as that's where everyone orders drinks but otherwise this was quite enjoyable. Will definitely keep on the list for HH.
