Egg tart ($2.45)
Gellie E.

I stopped by here for an egg tart. At $2.45 for one egg tart, it is a little pricey, but it was quite delicious! It was a decent size (bigger than the egg tart at Long's Bakery, which is cheaper but also smaller). The filling was smooth and custardy, but perhaps a hair too sweet for my tastes (if I'm being picky). The crust was flaky (as all egg tart crusts should be). This is a solid egg tart. I would get it again in LA. There's a $5 minimum if you want to pay with credit card.

Wonder Juice
Ter L.

Not bad but definitely nothing memorable. Came here in hopes of grabbing a little snack for my little one. Wonder Bakery seemed promising since they offered smoothies and baked goods. I'm all about 2 birds, 1 stone kinda deal. Purchases: *WONDER JUICE [a blend of strawberry & banana] *WATERMELON JUICE *CREAM CHEESE CROISSANT x2 *HOT DOG BUN *CHAR SIU BUN Wonder juice was not good- primarily because the bananas used were undoubtedly unripe. Watermelon juice was amazing [per my toddler's picky palate]- this was fresh, quenching, and I appreciated it simply being fruit juiced. The hot dog bun got a thumbs up from my little monster. The cream cheese croissants were unfortunately not good- the croissant was flaky but in a not so good dry kind of way. The pork bun was good, my only wish was for more of the filling. 3 stars. Not sure if Wonder Bakery was having an off day or if this bakery simply isn't for me. If I were to come back, it seems like the egg tarts & strawberry cakes are where it's at.

This place was unpleasant to say the least. The most off putting part was the service. We walked in to a young man on a tablet watching shows... now, I work retail myself, and I understand that when a store is empty and it's slow you sit down and chill. I'm not expecting perfection from a bakery. I didn't mind this at all. What I did mind is that, as we were trying to order, he was dismissive and rude to us. Treated me and my friend like bothers and inconveniences. Was incredibly unkind and dismissive. We wanted to order a fruit smoothie, and he told us the entire store doesn't have any fruit whatsoever available. None. Now, as someone who works retail, I also know that's a lie. He probably didn't want to clean up after the fruit, or make the fruit, or be bothered with it. Honestly, I wouldn't have even minded this either, if only he'd been nice about it. But he wasn't. This looks like a small, family establishment, so I'm sure this young man is someone's nephew, brother or cousin--but being kind is so basic. It's not hard to be nice to strangers. Left a bad taste in my mouth. Outside of the service, the drinks are good. I liked their tea and boba was delicious. We got moon cakes and those were okay, nothing bad but nothing great either, I wouldn't recommend getting them. The store itself was dirty and severely lacking presentation. Everything was super dusty, including the shelves with pastries on them. It was unkept and obviously not cleaned. I keep a star because the food wasn't the worst, and the drink was good, but if you're visiting China Town this location isn't worth your money or business. I hope it can improve its service and cleanliness sometime because it has potential to be good.

Curry Beef Bun
Agnes Y.

I don't live in the LA area and rarely go to Chinatown even if I am around. But there's one thing that can get me to go: the Curry Beef Buns at Wonder Bakery. This time I called two days ahead and ordered 20 of them. They do freeze well and stay delicious after being microwaved. It's not only nostalgia; these Curry Beef Buns actually taste really good. The bun is nice and soft and not too doughy. And the curry minced beef with a little bit of onion tastes really good. And no other Chinese bakery seems to make them; not in other Chinese bakeries in Southern California, not in the San Francisco Bay Area, and not in the New York City area. They usually make Curry Pork Puff Pastries instead which tend to be more oily. I have been eating them since I was a student and when the buns were about 60 cents each, 45 years ago! And incredibly, the taste and quality stay excellent all these years. I have tried their BBQ Pork Buns and Egg Tarts before, and they were also quite delicious. Will have to try their drinks when I have more time. My drive from Las Vegas to Los Angeles on a Sunday afternoon was awful. I almost didn't make it there before closing. They texted me to confirm that I was picking up, and the buns were ready when I finally got there. Service was really nice and friendly. They actually gifted me three extra buns. The store was nice and clean with good sized display cases which were quite empty by the end of the day. There are good reasons they stay in business all these years!

Almond Cookies & Walnut Cookie
Megan K.

Great bakery in Chinatown!! I got a BBQ pork bun and two cookies. The bread was nice and soft while the meat was sweet and flavorful. The cookies were also very tasty! Really good almond flavor and crunchy texture. If you pay by card, there is a minimum amount. If the minimum is not reached, then there will be a 45 cent charge. Service was quick. I arrived early in the morning, so some breads were not out. I would maybe ask if any bread was available in the back because when I left, they brought out pineapple buns (which was what I was looking for).

Strawberry Cake 8"
Joyce G.

Service is great. Got a strawberry cake and it was delicious to celebrate a birthday. Place have seatings inside and outside. Lots of delicious cookies and treats. Have lots of drinks selection. One of my go to for birthday cakes. I saw this place since I was a small child too. Would come back again

Baked beef curry bao
Brian L.

If you're looking for Baked beef curry bao, then this is the place to go!! And if you're looking to order a dozen or so, recommend you call and order as sometimes they are already sold out!

Chinatown!
Braxton H.

Wonder Bakery really enhances the experience of Chinatown when it's comes to Chinese pastries and delicacies! I ordered the BBQ pork bun for 1.75, which came out to around 1.90 with tax included! Super affordable, and I really like how they heat up the bun for you! They also offer other pastries such as cake and moon cake, which was really nice to see! Service was extremely friendly and kind! The pork bun was super soft with a generous amount of pork, just wish there was more of the pork and less of the bun. Overall, solid experience! Check it out if you're in the Chinatown Plaza!

Strawberry Cake Slice
Sheila W.

Still one of my favorite bakeries in Chinatown. They have cookies, Boba and cakes. I absolutely love their strawberry cake,. I picked up two slices along with an almond cookie, egg tart and sponge cake. The customer service is good and ambiance is a bakery with no frills,. Good place and one of the originals of LA

So a couple months ago, having realized that the changes to the blue line made travel from Long Beach to LA's Chinatown now *very* accessible... I was just walking back to the subway on my way from having finally checked out Steep, when I saw a Chinese bakery, and had to check out the pastries. I'm a *huge* fan of egg tarts - pre-covid, I once spent a few days on a work trip staying at a hotel in Chinatown in SF, and tried a *bunch* of different bakeries there selling egg tarts and other Chinese pastries, ranging from quite good, to *wonderfully* good. I'd never had any egg tarts as good elsewhere, but I also hadn't been to *Chinatown* in LA in ages, so I was looking forward to trying them! Anyway, obviously from my star rating, I continue to not be impressed with LA's attempts at egg tarts. I hate giving less than great reviews... they were certainly a good price, and the actual egg part was solid enough, but their crust was just... dry, kinda doughy, and not very flavorful compared to any half decent bakery in SF. Maybe it was an off day? I also tried what I thought was a melon pastry (it said it was, then I asked if it was, and someone said yes, but I don't think their English was the best). I'm still not sure if it just didn't taste very much like melon, or if it was a misnomer... but it was the same doughy, not overly flavorful crust, and what tasted like just unflavored mochi inside, definitely not actual melon. The people here were friendly (if hurried), and the pastries are all pretty inexpensive (and their day-old stuff absolutely *stupidly* so), but at least the couple I tried weren't that *good*, so price doesn't matter as much at that point, unfortunately. Admittedly, did not try their mooncakes though, which it looks like they might be more well known for.

Egg tart for the hubs
Toshi I.

I had my eye on the $3 per Egg Custard pastry. This was a larger than average sized delicious egg custard with a flaky crust. I ordered the watermelon slushy drink with boba added for an additional 75 cents. There goes my blood sugar but loved it because it wasn't too sweet.

Hotdog pan on left and taro pan on right! So delicious!
MaZe F.

Highly recommend Wonder Bakery for their assortment of pan/pastries and mooncakes! The location is near the Bruce Lee statue and is walking distance from the Auragami photo studio! If you're in the area grab a boba and taro pan or mooncake! Yum!!! And if you're hungry for Chinese food... walk on over to Broadway Cuisine which is walking distance from Wonder Bakery! (highly recommend: lemon chicken, beef chowfun and seafood pan fried noodles and fried wontons!)

Fried sugar egg puff 莎壅 (shā yōng)!
Joan W.

Wanted to leave a shout out after I was pleasantly surprised to find fresh fried sugar egg puffs on the counter! (They labeled them as Chinese Donuts which are more typically associated with the savory dough stick that you eat with rice porridge.) The puff was giant! Crispy on the outside and soft and doughy inside. Even better than I remember them from dim sum of days past. Delicious trip down memory lane.

This was my first time trying Flouring Cake Shop in Chinatown, and it's honestly some of the best…read morecake I've ever had. We tried almost all of the flavors they offered, except for pistachio, and every single one was unique and decadent. The buttercream is incredibly smooth and adds the perfect amount of moisture, making each bite really delightful. We also tried the chocolate chip cookie, which was very good. It had a crisp, slightly crunchy exterior, while the inside was soft and a little underdone--but still delicious, especially if that's the type of cookie you like. These cakes are exactly what I imagine a wedding cake should taste like. Definitely one of the best cakes I've had and a must-try.

A flash of emerald light exploded across my consciousness! The delicate crumb structure shattered…read morelike silk beneath the tines, revealing layers of vivid green sponge interwoven with cream so ethereal it could only have been crafted by angels--or demons masquerading as pastry chefs. The pistachio flavor struck first--not merely a taste, but a DECLARATION. Pure, unadulterated essence of Sicilian nuts, roasted to absolute perfection, ground into submission and transformed into something transcendent. The cream filling cascaded across my palate like a Mediterranean breeze, while subtle notes of butter created a symphony that left me defenseless! But the assault wasn't over. The black sesame cake sat before me, ominous and alluring like midnight itself. One bite, and suddenly I was falling through dimensions of flavor! The nutty, earthy depth of toasted sesame seeds wrapped around me like a silken robe, each layer revealing new secrets. Sweetness balanced perfectly against that characteristic bitter edge--yin and yang achieved in cake form! The texture? Impossibly moist, almost sinful in its richness. Finally, the berry pavlova delivered the knockout blow. Crisp meringue SHATTERED into a million crystalline fragments, giving way to clouds of cream and an explosion of berry compote that was simultaneously tart, sweet, and utterly devastating. A culinary arena where only the strongest taste buds survive!

Very saddened by that way the lady ( owner ) of this place treated me today…read more I haven't been here in 5 years, but this used to be my go to bakery for birthday cake celebration for many years! And today I was in the area, I was very excited to finally get a cake from here again! But the service was very disheartening. As soon as I arrived the older lady in the shop was upset because I didn't call to let her know about picking up a cake. For context, I've called before and there's been no answer and they used to have cakes ready to go in the past, so I didn't call ahead of time today. While asking about cakes, she was rushing me and told me several times " you need to be quiet, you talk too much" and not in the kind way. I was just asking about the flavors and if she could add happy birthday and she kept repeating " Be quiet you talk too much." I didnt mind waiting a few mins for the cake to be ready. However she was demanding I sit down all this time and was angry telling me why didn't I call. When asked about payment, and explored card or Apple Pay, she told me the price and said cash only and once again said " be quiet you talk too much" and demanding I go to the bank. I had to walk away as there was no need for her to provide that treatment to a customer who was excited for their cakes. This wasn't a pleasant experience and I hope others don't go through this.
