Growing up in LA we would come to Chinatown often and most every time, my dad would buy us a delicious treat at this sweet staple! I stopped by this weekend and so happy to see that nothing has changed as far as their delicious pastries and those ALMOND cookies!!! Yumm!!! We had a slice of their classic strawberry cake (that cream, just as light and yummy as I remember) and of course the cookies. They had strict covid protocols fir the safety of all and the service was friendly and quick. Love this bakery!!!

Five stars for what they make and represent. Old school pastry/cake shop and delicious. I've had a birthday cake ordered from here since the late 80s when I was a kid. Now I get the same yummy cakes for my kid's birthdays. We love it!

My grand niece was turning 4 in August. In April she put in her request for the strawberry cake. I got it for her. I wanted rainbow colors cuz she wanted a rainbow unicorn cake. The person who did the writing got it perfect. Of course my niece didn't know what it said. We read it to her and she said "can we eat it now"! Her younger brother wanted one of the roses. He liked the cream frosting and he chose the largest ???? rose for that!

Cakes here are delicious but the line is crazy. Come during the week I'm told. Parking is limited. Order ahead. Must wear a mask. They limit how many people are inside.

As someone who grew up with cakes from Phoenix Bakery, I gotta say todays cake was definitely not the same quality. Cake was extremely dry and the cream seemed curdled. My experience here was not pleasant as well. One of the ladies working here seemed was very unfriendly and seemed bothered. I just hope I caught them on a bad day. I went to leave this comment on Yelp and saw a similar experience as mine just a few hours before my entrance. I will return and I am hoping this day was just a fluke.

The cream is so so so delicious, tastes so fresh and delectable. Almond cookies, pork buns, lotus pastry, and cake were all exceptional. The taste and texture of the almond cookies are iconic and make great gifts for those out of state. The lotus pastry melts in your mouth and are 20% larger/taller than you often see in other bakeries. The char sui pork buns and pepperoni jalapeño buns are substantial and make an excellent alternative to bringing in donuts for coworkers. The cake sponge is on the drier side and balances the generous abundance of cream. Overall everything is delicious and the customer service is excellent

I grew up with my Aunt getting the Strawberry Cream Cakes (with Almonds) for every celebration possible. I moved away but while visiting I had to stop in! I love that they sell the slices especially since I fly out tomorrow. So fresh and delicious ???? they have not changed a thing and I love it! ❤ Thank you Phoenix bakery for keeping traditions alive!

Absolutely delicious. They are known for their sponge cake with strawberries, whipped cream, and almonds. They have plenty if you just walk in and they will write on it. However, if you need it without nuts you need to order ahead. They also have lots of other great pastries both sweet and savory. Parking can be tough so grab a meter as soon as you see one.

I was recommended this place by my aunt.
Place has the best baked char siu bao ($3.95) I have had in a decades. Where I live the buns made there do not have that caramelization on top of the bun, nor do they put a significant amount of meat in them. These buns are stuffed fully.
I was so excited about these that I order all they had on hand (18).
Oh the birthday cakes look nice too.
Please wait your turn inside. I am confirming at this time only five partons can be in the building.
