Tried the mortadella scallion pancake and it is a greasy mess. They should give you gloves to eat it with. The most prominent flavor was the spice and sour from the peppers.
We came here on a sunday around noon. It was quite busy, but we only wait about 10 minutes in line to order and were quickly seated and brought our food. We ordered the pastrami beef tongue scallion pancake and a pork fan tuan to share. We enjoyed the pork fan tuan more, but found the portion to be quite small. The beef tongue in the scallion tongue was very tender and flavorful, but the cheese was very heavy and we would have liked it to be crispier. Don't expect to find authentic taiwanese food here, as it's definitely a fusion spot. The scallion pancake was served with some sort of mayo sauce, and they didn't have soy sauce.
The Jasmine Mango Milk Tea was absolutely stellar. It was so refreshing on a hot day. If you've ever had those thick mango juices, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. It has that same rich, fresh mango flavor, but without the heaviness. It's actually not thick at all and was incredibly refreshing. I usually don't reach for milk tea during the summer, but this honestly felt more like a refresher than a traditional milk tea. The space is also absolutely beautiful and honestly kind of magical. I loved all the flowers, greenery, and natural light. It felt like walking into a little garden, and it made me want to stay long after I finished my drink.
No wait on a Sunday morning. The original Win Son on the other side of the river is always jam packed on weekends. So much so that I don't go as often and when I do it's always takeout since I don't have as much patience as I grow older(who does?), to sit and wait on a line. These scallion pancakes are definitely better when eaten right away, not layered into a box to steam and get soggy. LOL. They are also definitely a little more greasy than you normally breakfast sammie but as a treat, it was delicious. The crisp oniony pancake adds a layer of flavor. The shrimp may not have added as much to the bite, I think next time I'd try something different. As I said up top, no wait did add to the experience. Once you order you are on your own to find seating inside or out. You take the table number to your table and your breakfast will magically appear in 15 mins. Definitely a more comforting experience.
Was super excited to try Win Son Bakery after looking at the menu and how they seemed to transform Taiwanese cuisine. The fan tuan was surprisingly good! The egg was jammy and they had you tiao in it that was perfectly crunchy. It was wrapped well and nothing fell apart. It is smaller than you would think, but understandable for the price ($7). We also tried the millet mochi donut since I saw it was popular online. The texture is perfect! The only con or thing to note is that there is a lot of ginger in the powder. It felt a little overpowering, so would only order if you enjoy the taste of ginger. The cookie was yummy and huge! I got the seasonal milk tea which was Jasmine and mango this month (June). It was good, didn't have a particular strong taste. The service is nice but a little disorganized. Our food came out in two rounds, where we had to chase them to get the rest of our food. It kinda felt like they forgot about it! The interior is nice and seems very urban. There's seating inside and outside.
Ordered quite a feast for brunch delivery. FAVs- Mortadella Scallion Pancake - we ordered 4 different scallion pancake and this one stand out the most, tasty and balanced. San Bei Ji Chop'd Cheese Scallion Pancake - the only different approach one that's kinda interesting. Fries was meh. Savoy Soy Milk - love! SORTA LIKE- Fan Tuan - pretty good but Ho Foods' flavor is more on point. Xia (Shrimp) Bun - pretty good. Jiucai Scallion Pancake - indifferent. Pinut Cookie - YUM DISLIKE - Pastrami Beef Tongue Scallion Pancake - This was the worst dish, the pastrami beef tongue was dry and just not good.
Came on a weekday and there was no line. I tried: + Egg and cheese scallion pancake + Fan Tuan with tofu + Pine nut sun cookie + b&w nian gao Egg and cheese scallion pancake was my favorite, along with the pine nut cookie. Nian gao was also a standout. I'll be back to try the ice cream and more treats - looks like they're open in the evenings so would make a good after-dinner stop.
Went for the first time on Sunday morning with an East Villager. Ordered the Shrimp Scallion Pancake, it was really really good. And the dipping sauce was also a very good combo, I ran out by the time I finished. The service was solid for the amount of foot traffic coming through on a busy Sunday, and the restaurant itself was very clean and provided water cups on both sides of the building. Very unique and delicious, worth trying out if you haven't before!
The food actually tasted great! The Bacon Egg and Cheese Scallion Pancake was seared on the outside to have the perfect, satisfying crunch while the cheese on the inside was super gooey and creamy to make the quintessential breakfast "sandwich" bite as good as it gets. But its not a scallion pancake, not even remotely close and I wouldn't recommend this place to a friend who asked me for a scallion pancake place. I also think $16 or $17 for this is quite insane, even for Manhattan. If they charged $8 for this it would be a steal, $13 would be reasonable, but $17 is unreasonably sky-high for what is provided. The price instills the expectation that this is a sort of artisanal fine dining breakfast place that uses ultra high quality ingredients but the product is a very solid breakfast "burrito" in actuality.
Taiwanese fusion bakery/restaurant. Much longer line and more crowded than at the Brooklyn location, although there's lots of outdoor seating. While I won't repeat my review, I'll generally say that the scallion pancakes, mochi donut, and snow peas are the things to get here. Unlike the Brooklyn location, they had all the bakery items available, so we were able to try the red date cake and peanut butter double baked bao this time. Both lived up to the hype and were my favorites, so I'd recommend both (as well as the previous menu selection above). Not really a complaint, but I do find it a little odd that at neither location did I see a single Asian employee either serving or cooking, given they're supposedly Taiwanese.
Tried Win Son Bakery and it didn't quite live up to the hype. The BEC scallion pancake was average and overpriced and the pork fan tuan was just okay (uses pork floss, not real pork). The rou bao felt like a smashed XLB. The millet mochi donut was the highlight -perfectly chewy. Overall, I'd still pick Chinatown or even a deli over this. Not sure I'd go back.
The food is just as good as the original location in Williamsburg. I've been to both locations now many times and I prefer how much more laid back and spacious the East Village spot is. Maybe I've gotten lucky but during mid-morning on most days there's plenty of seating and food comes out super fast. I'm always getting the pork floss fan tuan with egg and cruller. It is the perfect breakfast, so delicious, filling and affordable. The scallion pancake sandwiches are obviously incredible but the fan tuan is the real star imo. I'm always so excited to see the pastry case here, they change things up all the time. It's always worth getting one of the sweets, but I will always recommend the millet mochi donut. When it comes out warm, the texture is addictive and it's a perfect balance of sweet and salty.
Win Son Bakery is such an absolute gem - I already want to go back and try everything else on the menu. I ordered the iced black sesame latte and it was incredible - smooth, perfectly balanced, lightly sweet, and so unique. It's one of those drinks you keep thinking about after you leave. I also got the scallion pancake with egg and cheese and it completely lived up to the hype. Perfect texture - crispy and golden on the outside, soft and slightly chewy inside - and the sauce it comes with is perfect with it. Everything was so thoughtfully made. The space is also beautiful, filled with plants that make it feel warm, cozy, and inviting. I really loved that they have outdoor seating too - it's such a nice option. Service was excellent. The gentleman at the counter was super friendly and gave really great recommendations for both food and drinks, which made the experience even better. No lines on a Friday morning at 10am which was a bonus. Overall, everything from the food to the atmosphere to the service was amazing. Highly recommend!
Omg easiest 5 stars ever. This place is insane. Everything is phenomenal. The bacon egg and cheese scallion pancake sandwich is insanity. So buttery. The dipping sauce impeccable. The pastries were so good too. The mochi donut was particularly special. The peanut butter rolled pastry was so crispy and yummy. Pork fan tuan was a 4. Not sure I'm a total fan of the crispy stick in the center but loved the sticky rice with it. Easily returnable for me! I'll be back. Plenty of outdoor seating. Water colldddddd to drink while you wait. read more

Win Son Bakery is a Taiwanese-American bakery with savory eats and drinks. They are well-known for their scallion pancakes. There was a bit of a wait and tables are limited (you have to place an order and get your table number before they let you sit). The inside was very chatty and lively. My friends and I got the Pork Fan Tuan, Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Scallion Pancake, and Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Scallion Pancake. I was pleasantly surprised by the Pork Fan Tuan. It is kind of like a small sticky rice burrito with egg, pork floss, and more! It had a good salty taste. I was excited for the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese Scallion Pancake, but I thought it was a bit too cheesy and kind of heavy. I could not taste the scallion pancake at all. I had a bit of my friend's Shrimp, Egg, and Cheese Scallion Pancake and the shrimp patty was great. It tasted like one of those shrimp patty dishes at dim sum. However, meal was even cheesier than mine. I also thought the scallion pancakes were a bit pricey (almost $20) but it is NYC. The scallion pancakes came with these sauce that was really good! It was a bit tangy. I still liked the food here but it did not meet my expectations. I think I would get their regular scallion pancake next time just to really taste the scallion flavor. read more
Ordered the Taiwanese scallion pancake BEC (bacon egg cheese), the portion is enough to share between 2. A fun twist on a "breakfast burrito" but can't see myself returning. The braised pork belly rice dish was good but for $22 I'd pass. The total bill was about $44. Self service stations where you can grab your own water, utensils, and take-out containers. read more

This ripped. Mortadella egg and cheese on a scallion pancake?? !! So sick. Possibly the best fried chicken sandwich I've had in recent memory ?? ! ? So sick. Sweet corn custard bun ? ! So sick. Really nice cappuccino??? !!! So sick. Absolutely will be back. read more
My friend and I came here during dinner hours to try their BEC Scallian Pancake. Inside was super moody with dim lights and a candle on every table. It is also spacious with free seating and decorative plants. We got in line to order at the front, and got a Jasmine tea and BEC Scallion Pancake. The jasmine tea tasted weird. It did not taste like typically floral tea, but we couldn't drink it after a sip. The BEC Scallion pancake is exactly what you order. It's bacon, egg, and cheese on a scallion pancake. The bacon was a bit too crispy for me, but it was not a bad bite. I am glad I got to try! read more
Food is delicious . Good mixes of ingredients. Service - ok. Self service cafe-like. Order paid at register and they'll bring to the table. Ambiance - simple modern clean. I love their friend chicken with Cajun fries- delicious Their scoop ice cream is a "packed 10oz cup" size -- good for sharing. I have yet to try the pancakes - Asian twist. Will try next time. read more

Soo yummy. My favorites were the pork fan tuan, mochi donut, and xian bing (which had a delicious broth inside). But honestly everything was amazing--the scallion egg and cheese pancake and the bolo bao. Pretty long lines at 11 on a Saturday, and then there's an additional line to get a table. Line seemed to get longer by the time we left too. read more
First time here and I absolutely loved it. I got their famous bacon egg and cheese scallion pancake and it was phenomenal. I also order the pork fan tuan which was so unique. Tempted to buy a shirt or bandana next time I'm here... read more
This bakery was a warm refuge on a cold day. We waited about 20 minutes in a long line, but once you get to the register, they take care of you from start to finish, from seating you to bringing you your food, which is much appreciated when you're in quite crimped quarters, and you don't want to get up and down often. The bakery has some delightful breakfast fusion foods, such as a traditional scallion pancake use as a wrap for a bacon, egg and cheese! My favorite was the fan Tuan, which packed a punch of both flavor and texture. It was a little crunchy on the inside that thing, and I expected, but the crunch really added to the entire tasting experience. I felt that the stallion can take bacon egg cheese had a lot of texture and was gorgeous, but not as flavorful. They also have solid coffee, drinks! I will absolutely be coming back because everything was unique and delicious, and I would love to try more of the menu read more
I've had BEC before and I've had scallion pancakes, trust, but I was not expecting how greasy the scallion pancake BEC would be. The number of napkins we needed to use to hold the pancake before it got soaked in oil was wild (see pic). The final product did not taste better than the core pieces imo It's definitely a chill place to hang with friends in the neighborhood though so I'd recommend trying if you're in the area and interested in fusion food read more
Was so glad that this location opened in Manhattan. The cleanly decorated quick service spot has lots to offer. Since the last time I had tried a pop up with mostly pastries, I opted to try the BEC scallion pancake and a matcha (almond milk). The matcha was very smooth. The BEC SP is a very large portion. I prefer the pastries and fan tuan (several other diners had those too) over the scallion pancake. The table next to me had the chicken bian dang which looked delicious. read more

They took traditional Asian food one get at Dim Sum and put a twist on it. We got Scallions Pancakes. It is more like a pancake sandwich. To me it loses the scallion taste. It becomes a doughy sandwich that will fill you up. The best for us is the pork fan tuan. It is the meat floss from when I was young eating with congee while sick. Add in a crunchy piece in the middle and a gooey egg. The worst is the rice noodles. It is chunky rice noodles but really oily. Maybe it is the take out container causing that effect but not something I would get again. In between is the tian doujiang with youtiao. Nicely flavor soy milk and crispy fried dough. Another reminder to when I was young. Place is really packed but I like their system of waiting in line for seat. They will get you seating so no need to hover over others while they are eating and enjoying their food. read more
Heard many great things about this place, but never found myself in the original Brooklyn location. Luckily, they opened a new location in Manhattan, which is easier for me to get to. So, my friends and I all decided to stop by on a weekday. As almost everyone orders, I got the famous scallion pancake with bacon, egg & cheese. It's basically a thinly crusted stuffed scallion pancake sandwich. It's exactly how I expected it to taste and it really does live up to the hype. It's super filling. I could never finish one in one sitting. In terms of the store itself, it's quite spacious. They have decent amount of seating, but it was super packed when I went. I had to find space to eat outside. Since it was super popular, I did have to wait a bit. But I think it's worth it to try it at least once. read more
Food and drinks were fabulous! We had the scallion pancakes which are great and came with a delicious mayo based (I think) sauce. Pastries were very tasty- highly recommend the mochi donut. We went add an odd time- maybe around 3pm and there was a line but not too long. Order at the counter style cafe and then you wait in a line to be seated which was actually an efficient process! It was crowded the whole time we were there but we didnt have to wait long. Pricing wasn't bad either. read more

I'm hit or miss on if I think this place was worth the hype, but to their defense I just been to Taipei. I do think it's good but if they would have been busy I would have been disappointed that I waited. BEC Scallion Pancake was really good, flavorful and crispy is prob go back for this. Pork Fan Tuan wasn't hitting the spot for me almost to much of the pork which wasn't my favorite flavor. read more
We wanted something filling and savory after a Pilates class and realized a short walk would take us to Win Son Bakery. A warm welcome on a cold day set the tone for our meal - hot soy milk, coffee, and two scallion pancakes loaded with havarti and bacon. There was plenty of seating and the big windows let the welcomed sun shine on our food. You order and sit, food is brought to you but bus your own table. A self-service water and leftover station was great! We can't wait for our next visit to try the pastries! read more

Very solid Taiwanese bakery but didn't quite live up to the hype. Everything was alright and nothing blew me away. First, this place is busy!! If coming around standard brunch times on the weekend, be prepared to wait 10-15 minutes in line and another 15-25 minutes for your food to come out. There's also *another* line after you order to get seated haha. We opted to sit outside to skip that second line; my friend's matcha came out in just a few minutes but my soy milk didn't get brought out until 20+ minutes later. Everything else (napkins, utensils, water, to go boxes) is self serve. The fan tuan was very tasty but extremely small, less than half the size of the fan tuan I've gotten anywhere else. While the sticky rice is perfectly cooked and I liked the egg inside, it was so small you could eat this in 4 big bites haha. Nowhere close to the almost-burrito size I'm used to. The soy milk and crispy donut were also tasty, but the donut was on the drier, crispier side, which meant it couldn't soak up the soy milk well. The scallion BEC, which I was most excited for (I am a FIEND for scallion pancake), was unfortunately a miss. It wasn't flakey or crispy at all, very dense and oily, and no scallion flavor came through. I really wanted to like this and had been looking forward to this, but unfortunately ended up being my least favorite item. Overall: nothing bad, but nothing exceptional either. read more

solid breakfast/brunch spot! we got there on a saturday around 11am and there was a bit of a wait, but the food came pretty fast once ordered. i really liked how the fried egg had a runny yolk in the fantuan! drinks also weren't too sweet which i appreciate. only complaint is that it's a bit pricey for what it is read more
((4.25 stars)) Win Son Bakery is a Taiwanese-American cafe in the East Village. it serves a variety of small & large savory dishes, sweet baked & dessert-y items, a coffee / tea menu, and adult beverages (beer & wine) from morning to evening. the location is a good-sized space for Manhattan with additional sidewalk seats during warmer weather. the interior is bright and clean with modern vibes. the coffee program is pretty solid and i've enjoyed iced americanos and drip coffees here. recently,had the BEC Scallion Pancake. it's made up of bacon + eggs + havarti cheese wrapped up in a soft scallion pankcake. the sandwich is unsurprisingly rich because of the bacon, eggs, melty havarti cheese, and scallion pancake. the bacon is fairly firm and crispy with some chew; the eggs are kind of compressed but are still soft; the havarti is a creamy with a little bit of tanginess and sweetness; and the scallion pancakes are pretty soft without the typical expected crispy exterior. the sandwich is rich, but errs on the oily side because of the scallion pancakes and the other ingredients. the flavors are savory and comforting but they all kinda get lost in each other because they are all competing with one another and get somewhat muted. the sandwich does come with a "ginger deluxe dipping sauce" which is essentially an aioli sauce. the sauce is a nice touch, but i do wish the sandwich got a some refining so the flavors come together into a more memorable bite that reflects more Taiwanese flavors than just a take on a classic bacon-egg-and-cheese. while the BEC scallion pancake isn't a huge sandwich--it is very shareable and i recommend splitting it with someone, so you can order some things off the menu that are a bit more Taiwanese in flavor and conception like the fa tuan or the turnip cake OR any of the excellent pastries like the millet mochi doughnut, vanilla cream bun, or the chocolate bao bolo. the service is friendly and upbeat. there are definitely lines on the weekend, so heading to Win Son Bakery is a better bet during the week and will be less crowded. Win Son Bakery is a nice option to have in the East Village. read more

I've seen this place on social media and was curious to see what the hype was about. This Taiwanese fusion bakery is very unique with a wide selection of both savory items and baked goods. We got their Scallion Pancake BEC and Custard Toast. The Scallion Pancake BEC was decent, and the sauce prof used on the side was good, but I just prefer traditional Taiwanese food. The cheese was just very heavy for me, overpowering the scallion pancake. The Custard Toast was disappointing. It was a lot of bread with a thin layer of sweet caramelized custard on top. Not really worth it in my opinion. Overall, it was okay. Perhaps just not my cup of tea. If you're in the area, I would say stop by and give it a try, but I wouldn't come out of my way. read more
Thrilled to have an outpost of Win Son in Manhattan. I enjoyed the flawlessly stuffed fan tuan (rivaling memories of street food breakfast on my visits to Taiwan). I especially appreciated how the filling was evenly distributed throughout the entirety of the rice wad. Too often, you end up with huge chunks at either end that are only rice--that wasn't the case with Win Son's rendition. The true pièce de résistance here is the bec scallion pancake. To me, this is the apex of east-meets-west city breakfast. Combining two of my fave methods of greasing my gullet first thing in the morning into a singularly flawless mashup is pure insanity (read: genius). Note: if you plan to dine in, it seems that the ideal arrival time is pre-10:00am. Seemingly immediately as our clocks hit that dreaded hour, the queue was out the door. Best to do as the aggressive dim sum grannies do in Chinatown and arrive early to beat the rush. read more
TLDR: Cool vibe, good variety of food, but perhaps underdelivered? Win-Son has been on my list for what feels like a decade, the weight sitting in my to do's, and I was left feeling like it was just okay. I need to go back and try more things to really determine. Ordered: Scallion pancake BEC - 4/5 Honestly? And this might be a bad thing but I'm comparing it to two things: Thai Diner's BEC and just the overall hype to reality ratio. I think I was just slightly underwhelmed. I wasn't getting a whole lot of flavors and the sauce to accompany it kinda threw me off. Versus the other one I've had was very flavorful and a good amount of kick to it but we're comparing two different style of asian cuisines here so its not super fair. For the price, however, I'm not sure its justified? I'd be interested to try the shrimp one or other flavors but its just good to try to classic in order to have a good base. Service: 4/5 - Nothing to really complain about but nothing outstanding either. It did take quite a bit of time to come out but this place was also quite crowded. Vibe 5/5 - Its huge (by comparison to other bakeries) and has a bathroom so that's always a plus. You'll probably have a good chance of finding a seat if people aren't slow to move. I definitely do want to come back (although the LES trek is a hard pill to swallow). I think perhaps I just overhyped the BEC in my head and if I didn't have a comparison, i think this would be a different review. read more

This was my 2nd time coming to Winson Bakery because the menu surprised me the first time. They're taking Taiwanese American to another level. When I first came, I got this same exact order. The chopped cheese scallion pancake with a side of the fries. And it hit both times. The interior is ambient. The light is dim and it feels intimate. Also, the tables are small. The concept is mind blowing for me. It's messy, but I love the unique take on a New York staple. The scallion pancake already has an interesting texture and dough, so pairing that with the chopped cheese intrigues me lol. Honestly I don't think the filling taste like a chopped cheese at all but it's really good and filling. I felt like it gave off a cheesesteak more than a chopped cheese. Especially with the mix of vegetables. One flaw is that it looks like a burrito but you can't really hold it because it collapses as you take each bite. Both times I've had this dish I had to use fork and knife. Then I had the fries. I don't know what seasoning they use but it's a blend of salt and spices. I get tired of regular salty fries so that extra kick of spice does the job for me. One of my friends ordered the salad and I wish I ordered that instead of the fries. It was refreshing and had a strong ginger taste to it. Service is pretty good here. It's straightforward here. When dining in, they bring the food to the table. I definitely would come back to try more of their Taiwanese American dishes. read more
I had high hopes for this place, and I'm bummed it wasn't as good as I was expecting it to be. We got the rice noodles and jiucai scallion pancakes. The scallion pancake was so greasy and I wouldn't mind the oil if the pancake was crispy, but it wasn't. It was a soft, greasy mess. The chives were barely noticeable too. For the rice noodles, I wasn't expecting it to be rolled and cut up. I thought it could've been good, but it was pretty bland and also just felt greasy. The other items here look good so maybe we got unlucky with what we chose? To be honest, I would've preferred walking south to Chinatown to get cheaper but delicious asian food. read more
When I saw a scallion pancake bacon egg and cheese I knew I had to have it. The staff were sweet especially after there was a little mix up where I received a shrimp scallion pancake instead of bacon. If you love cheese, this has a great cheese pull. It was pretty big, so I recommend sharing unless you have a big appetite. Super cute interior, nice lighting, and many little cafe tables. read more
