I don't have a sweet tooth, so their baked goods are irrelevant to me, and I've yet to try their entrees, so I'm no real judge of their menu - I'm here to sing the praises of the sticky rice wrapped in leaves (bamboo?) - It's the blandest thing that I find satisfying (And I enjoy the real hot Sichuan up Park St at Ichiban!) The bit of chicken, the soft peanuts, the subtle herbal flavor imparted to the rice by the leaf wrap - It's just good (The rice is certainly cooked in broth, verging on pudding, but it's not any sweeter than the rice alone might make it.) It's comfort food, and it will keep me coming back, especially at $4. Think medium/ large baked potato with butter or sour cream for an equivalent lipid-starch satisfaction. (2 minutes each in the microwave if you carry them away cold.)

Right off the bat, parking is street parking and free. However, if you get lucky this place does have like a two car parking lot.
This place has lots of sweets to buy. There's lots to choose from such as sweet red bean bread, Chinese donuts, sesame balls, pork filled buns, etc. My advice is to get there early so the sweets are fresh and still available. They tend to run out of the more popular items like sesame balls early.
If you're not into sweets, they do have a limited food menu you can order from. The food is not your typical American Chinese food, which if you're looking for more authentic Chinese food, this us the place. Expect things like dishes cooked with tendon or intestines. They do have your typical chinese dishes as well.
Overall would recommend for sweets and more authentic Chinese food.

Looks like a great place, but we showed up hoping to try only to see they would be closed until August 7th. Please update the google listing. Hope to come here eventually.

One of the best bakeries in Madison!

Been stopping by here for the last 5 years I've been in town - solid Asian baked goods. As good as you'll be able to find in Madison.

Cool place. Not very much space for sitting, though. Nice woman. Has a sweets menu, but also has food, too. Menu's on the walls.

Love the mooncake
Roxie Tew
Great value for the price. Fast service. Ready and still warm. Try the warm buns.
Jake Tiger
Red bean paste roll & sesame ball were delicious. Cheap prices, have to spend at least $5 for the card but that just meant I could get more stuff!
Having breakfast with piping hot chicken congee. Fast service. Great taste.

Great selection and old fashioned delicious Chinese bakery goods. Also a little cafe seating room for some scrumptious Lo Mein and other noodle plates

I love their Asian pastries (savoury and sweet) —especially the sesame balls. Get in early for the good stuff.

Best prices and baked goods maybe in the whole state. Crazy variety and it’s all amazing.

Always a favorite when we are visiting near Park Street. My personals favorites include the coconut custard bun, cheese twist and sponge cake. Very reasonable prices too! Absolutely love this place and have introduced it to many people over the years.
Delicious cake
