I have been to many Chinese bakeries all over Toronto, Scarborough, and Markham. This place has a big selection, but average buns. I don’t recommend the hot food at the back. I had some 4 days ago and have had food poisoning ever since. The place is very dirty and the meat was very poor quality so I’m not too surprised. I definitely will not go back here.

It is pretty obvious they do not want white or brown customers. I have been here 3 times and was not happy with the cleanliness either. Probably why they have now changed the name to NEW BAKERY. The only plus is they don’t charge sales tax.

This bakery is your typical Chinatown bakery — cheap, tasty, with lots of options. On any given day, there are sweet buns, salty buns, meat buns, plain buns, and also a variety of cakes and rolls as well as lunch counter food. The quality isn’t the best, but most buns are 2 for $ 1 so no complaints there! The restaurant side with seating seems to attract a lot of the locals here which is pretty cool. I always pick up a few of the red bean buns as well as the tuna buns to go for a quick snack on the run :)

Their pastries are fresh and they run out before the end of the day so be sure to stop by early enough. Did I say it is cheap as well? Not to mention their chinese cuisine to go, you will get plenty for very little money and it tastes great!

Not really impressed with this place. The choices are limited and the vegetables are always very soggy no matter what the dish is. Both times I’ve been, the places was full of flies and the floor very dirty. Add in an unpleasant odor and you don’t want to come back again.
They have all the typical Chinese baked goods, which I have ordered some rice and peanut cakes, which were surprisingly delicious.
I only came here twice because both times I was in a rush and a sub $ 5 lunch attracted me.
I will go elsewhere if I need Chinese baked goods because their lunch buffet is nothing to sing home about.

On days where I don’t bring my usual lunch, my co-workers and I would hit up this bakery for quick bite.
The bakery is generally packed during lunch time, but there is ample seating to fit the crowd. The place is kept clean, Chinese music playing in the background, and sometimes, movies are viewed on their 2 flat screen TV projectors.
You can also order noodles/rice/congee with a choice of 7 – 8 side dishes.
A meal with 3 side dishes comes to $ 4.30, along with soup. A choice of 4 dishes is about a dollar more. Trust me. 3 side dishes is more than enough! They rotate their food items daily, which gives variety for regular customers.
Note: They’re opened 7:30am in the morning. I usually get my usual hot milk tea before work. And it’s GOOD!

This bakery has moved to Gerrard east of Broadview and it’s now part restaurant with a bakery on one side still. I’ve had good experiences with the quality and value of the pastries here. The service and décor design is the only part that keeps me from giving this a highest rating so it’s really closer to 4.5 stars. The service is not bad but it’s typical of what you’ll expect in Chinatown and better than the one known as Chinese Bakery on Dundas West. There are actually only a handful of bakeries at this smaller Chinatown and they’re all close in quality, size and prices. Phoenix has a great mango bubble tea that costs only $ 3. We had one around the corner at Tung Hing Bakery and it costs more and uses some powder which made it a banana-yellow colour and funny tasting instead of orange-yellow which was more expensive. If this place was closer to home, I would be coming here after having dim sum a few doors over at Pearl Court (just reviewed)

I go here sometimes when I’m feeling poor and need to buy food for breakfast /brunch. Their buns are super cheap and filling. I love hotdog buns, curry beef buns and chicken buns and they’re 2 for $ 1. They also have egg tarts at 3 for $ 1 or 2 big ones for $ 1.
I also like their sponge cake «swiss rolls». They have different flavours like vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, green tea and honeydew! I’m going to be trying the honeydew this time.
My only complaint is that their hotdog bun is too big (too much pastry, not enough hotdog) and they don’t carry these buns that have the sweet yellow filling inside. But overall, the service is friendly and the food is cheap and satisfying. Perfect for students on a budget… or just anyone on a budget for that matter.

Probably because of its 3-for-1 deals, Phoenix is a popular sweets stop in the East End’s Chinatown on Broadview.
With what seems like a higher bakery: grocery store ratio on this strip, the bakeries must fight to stand out from one another. In addition to its prices, Phoenix has a particularly warm interior and offers wide variances in its sweet buns: I recall one having a mix of both pineapple and red bean — something I’ve not seen in any of the average bakeries downtown. The pastries were also a bit larger than its similarly priced counterparts at the Chinese Bakery downtown.
However, despite its superficial pluses, the service is just as blunt as the others, and their glutinous rice treats are too much soft and not enough chew. Overall, average bakery, but with its east-end location, I find it hard to make it a regular haunt of mine.
