Ordered a large number of macarons from here unfortunately about 70% of them were stale/cooked incorrected (brittle, dry... frozen?). The quality has gone very downhill here which is unfortunate. Service has always been fine for me though, nothing amazing, but nothing bad.

Reviewing this solely based on on their pork (lo mei Kai) it is the most unimpressive version I hv ever had. It is dry with large pieces of bbq pork. There is no gravy whatsoever. I never ever buy this again. The rice is also very dry. The chicken version is better. But not much better.

I've been to many Chinese bakeries in many different cities. The buns here are very good. You order at the counter and they box it for you. I prefer what they have in Hong Kong and Vancouver where the customer gets a tray and picks out their own buns but given the small space they have its understandable why they chose this mode of service. What does distract from this store is the excessive presence of the unhoused right outside their door. For the most part they leave people alone but it may make some feel uncomfortable.

Attendant was very kind, the store was spartan and clean. But the thing that made me come back to give a review was the Napoleon. Best Napoleon I've had in Edmonton. It's always the puff pastry that disappoints in Napoleons cuz it's obvious they sit around and absorb the moisture (looking at you, Italian Centre) or were previously frozen (big chain grocery stores). Not here. We visited the bakery in the afternoon and I didn't eat this little joy until the evening, and the puff pastry was still crisp, so it was def fresh that day. It was so nice not to be disappointed!! I want to drive back and get more PDQ. Kids also loved their cocktail buns.

I visited Hong Kong Bakery as a part of CTC's Sweet Side of Chinatown tour. We sampled both their egg tart and coconut bun. The coconut bun was absolutely amazing, and I was drooling over their other desserts in the display cases. I will definitely be returning to try their red bean paste filled sesame seed balls.
As a note, this place is cash only, but they did have an ATM.

A lot of bakery are good especially the traditional hand craft bakery.
Honestly really disappointing. The BBQ pork buns had almost no pork but a ton of sickly-sweet gelatinous goo, and the bun itself was undercooked. The sponge cake was dry and had an odd taste. The red bean mochi were good, but I'll go elsewhere next time.

Wonderful little bakery. I was sad when the one on gateway closed down so if I am ever downtown I make sure to go in and grab some BBQ pork buns!

The buns were delicious, the fillings were generous. The lady who served me today is super nice. Make sure you have cash, as they don’t accept cards.

Hands down The best cakes in Edmonton. Perfect amount of sweetness and bread is super fresh it just melts in your mouth. Fruit swiss role is a must try. I am sad they closed the gateway blvd location.

Horrible customer service we called the lady because they gave us a wrong cake and we were very respectful but they would extremely rude when we expressed our frustration. We said this is the wrong order and the lady over the phone said “okay bye” and hung up.
