I can't recommend Charlie's enough. The service is always fantastic. Def get there early because it is so popular that they run out of things early & just to avoid the lines. I love the little buns behind the dash register. They are so so good. All of their food is amazing. I've never had something I don't like here. read more

The cakes are delicious. I haven't tried their Chinese food yet but I do highly recommend the cakes.

I go to Charlie's quite often because I'm from Oahu Hawaii and the Pastry are very similar to the Japanese Bakeries in Oahu. I just went today. They're usually pretty good. I know about Customer Service because I worked as a Telephone Operator for 14 year in the Hotel Industry in Oahu. I got the cashier that was very rude and terrible customer service. I was trying to order the pastries. 4 different types. She was the furthest from the pastry section so I couldn't remember all the name. She told me to go look instead of following me to the pastry section and helping me out. So I went to look and came back and she was helping someone else. I was like what the hell! So this otheryoung nice gentlemen at the cashier helped me out. If you don't know anything about customer service you should be working at the cashier. I left there very upset. No excuses! read more

Meh the food wasn't as great as I remember it to be. I tried a new item - Har Gow and was super disappointed. For some reason they added pork to the filling??! Har Gow is supposed to be shrimp dumplings. The skin was also not good. Mushy and fell apart really easily. The bbq pork puffs also lacked a lot of flavor. The sticky rice also wasn't as flavorful as it used to be. The only consistent item was the spicy wontons - those were still pretty good and the duck as well. They renovated the inside and upgraded their tables. Looks a little nicer inside! read more

It is called Charlie's bakery but it is more like a restaurant. It also serves noodles, rice dishes and dim sum. We ordered braised beef noodles soup and crispy noodles with chicken. Braised beef noodles was a little spicy. Soup was flavorful and beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender. The noodles was a bit hard probably because it was frozen but that didn't bother me with broth and noodles this good. Crispy noodles was also delicious. Noodles was really crispy and I like that they put so much vegetables there. Didn't feel greasy at all even though it's fried. We went at noon and it was really crowded but service was speedy. For drinks, they have coffee, tea, soda and iced tea. read more

Lunch At Charlie's again. Busy as usual. Great food at reasonably prices, wonderful made on site gourmet desserts and breads. Parking available. If you like Chinese food you can't go wrong eating here or picking up takeout. I am partial the their Spicy Seafood Noodle Soup so I am enjoying that. Great favored broth, well cooked vegetables and seafood. An ample quantity served hot and spicy. The broth is a tomato base with spices that I wish I new for sure but I think they are garlic, pepper, chili sauce and others. The vegetables are cabbage, green onions, white onions, carrots. The seafood was medium shrimp, shell and tail off, calamari or squid, and mussels 2. About 3 cups of cooked large noodles. They have an assortment of canned drinks and fountain drinks. The drinks from the fountain and iced tea are self serve with refills allowed. Desserts are displayed in a case and breads and rolls on selfs near the order counter.

Charlie's Bakery continues to satisfy. Went in at 8pm, they mentioned they'd be closing at 8:30, we ordered and food was out starting in 5 minutes. Mongolian beef, sesame chicken, both sub chicken fried rice for a small up charge (worth it), har gow, pork siu mai, and pork Szechwan spicy wontons. Fast, friendly, delicious. Order at the counter, pictures of food are on the wall. Soda, water, soy sauce, & chili sauces are self-serve. Chopsticks are crap, I will bring my own next time . Still 10/10 read more

Been craving Dim Sum and was told this is the only spot in town. Menu is very limited and prices were steep for what we're accustomed to. But as I just mentioned, only spot in town. We had multiple places we were eating at so we didn't order too much. The bean curds were good but at almost $12, I'm not sure. The Har Gow were big and juicy. The spicy wontons were our favorite. read more

I admit that I LOVE the food here. I always eat at the restaurant. This is my first time picking it up after work, and the portions were literally half of what you get dining in, for the same price. I know it won't matter to them but I'm done with them. Only get one chance to rip me off. Sad!! read more

Just tried their sweet taro buns and they're so good! They're not too sweet, but they're more of a mild sweet. They've added a few new things to their menu since I last was in there. I found their cake to be super delicious. It's butter cream and tastes like whip cream. It's good to have every once in a while. I love their boba tea and every other weekend will go out of my way to walk in and order one. They only serve it on Saturday's so it's a little treat to look forward to every once in a while. read more

The best thing we ordered was the sticky rice. The shrimp dumpling soup broth was too salty and we had to throw it out. What a waste. Ate the dumplings by themselves. Everyone raves about the place so we came in with high expectations read more

Bakery hiding a truly great Chinese restaurant. Authentic and the bakery is killer too.

My family and I love Charlie's Bakery! The chocolate eclairs are my favorite in town, and their mocha cake is our go to for every birthday. As for their restaurant side, I love their spicy pork wontons! I used to love getting the crispy pork belly also, but it's been a bit inconsistent (sometimes it's perfectly cooked, sometimes it's too salty). Get ready for a long line always because this place is so popular, but thankfully the service is so fast! read more

Great food. Busy place with amazing Chinese food. The hot and sour soup was good. Stand in line order amazing food.

Food was amazing, fresh and delicious! Service was fast, staff were friendly! Though it was busy as we arrived at least an hour after they opened, it was still very relaxing! Very clean, wait was not long at all even though the line was out the door. The food was well worth the wait in line. We didn't take a picture of all the food we ordered, but they were all so delicious! When we come back to visit again, we will definitely stop here. Wish Fairbanks had this. read more

Charlie's Bakery - 9 inch mocha cake with candles for $45 - Bakeries Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

I expected something more like Cantonese/Hong Kong or Taiwan noodles even I ordered the beef noodle soup but it turned out more like Northern Chinese white noodles. Don't get me wrong, it's still good just expectation management. Wonton was good also! So the flat noodle beef stir fry is not 干妙牛河 (dry stir fry noodle), this is more wet... There's a good wok qi but lacked some taste? A pass for me. Had the long awaited duck... Not quite the Hong Kong/cantonese bbq I was hoping for... More close to a whole peking duck. And it's a bit dry and not a lot of meat. 1 order = 1/4 duck - I prefer Hong Kong Food Spirit down the street (a bit). Had their egg tart also, a little more expensive than I thought (probably just the Anchorage markup that I'm still not used to) but authentic tasting! read more

This is one of the best you'll find in Alaska. I come from the Bay Area and love all the things. Charlie's has great Dim Sum, Chinese food and more. I would recommend coming here yourself and checking it out. I feel that Alaska is lacking in some areas and this is one of them. But I'm happy to have Charlie's Bakery when i need my fix. Great for lunch and Dinner. staff is friendly and place is clean. They also have cakes that are Amazing. read more

Ordered the shrimp wonton soup, no noodles, size small. Saw the container and thought I wouldn't be full but it was a content amount. Good flavor for broth and there were 5+ wontons in the soup that packed a shrimp punch. Their scoop your amount chili oil was tasty! Will be back - there was a bunch of food that looked delicious read more

Your buns are probably cold and icy if you live in AK, but not at Charlie's Bakery. Here they are hot, juicy and steamy, ready for you to sink your teeth into, umm, so goood. In search of the perfect BBQ Pork Steam Bun? Look no further. We have tried steam buns all over the lower 48, from China Towns in NYC, LA, San Fran and Chicago. Who knew that we would have to spend 1400.00 on round trip tickets to find the perfect buns all the way up here. #8 on the menu. May I suggest 10 of them to go at 4.95 a piece. Even with tax you will walk out with 5 meals. Thats cheaper than 1 sit down restaurant in Anchorage for 2 people. Moist, plastic wrapped to hold in the sweet steamy juice, excellent immediately and best sitting right here fresh, but exceptional left over and reheated. We had several other items on the menu, but the buns are for me. I think you will like them too. This place is always busy. Hard to find seating most of the time. The desserts are awesome, chinese food is listed on the wall by number as most places are. We have had several different things here and all was good. The BBQ pork Steam Bun is my favorite. Shove these juicy buns in your face and get a taste. Excellent! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE! First I think Chinese food preferences are completely based on what you grew up with. This reminds me of my favorite Chinese food places in Central Oklahoma! So delicious. My hubs and I typically order some combo of Orange Chicken, Sesame Chicken, Crab Rangoon, White Rice, Sweet and Sour Chicken & Broccoli Beef. All of these option are excellent here. Super great pitstop after a morning of skiing at Hilltop. read more

Charlie's Bakery - Sesame Chicken & Crab Ragoons - Bakeries Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

We've finally found it! Our go to chinese spot in Anchorage, after many trials and tribulations a spot with 'bakery' in the name wins out. Taking a step back from slathering all their dishes in a sweet sauce, using fresh veggies and not skimping out on them, and providing a nice eclectic menu is all together very refreshing for a chinese restaurant. We were very impressed with their chicken and broccoli, the broccoli still had crunch to it (not soggy), still vibrantly green, the sauce was very light (maybe just tossed in toasted sesame oil?), and tender white meat chicken. They know what they're doing with their dumplings, I'm a sucker for a good dumpling - theirs did not disappoint. Looking forward to trying even more of their menu, so far the sesame chicken, chicken and broccoli, dumplings, and baby bok choy were bomb! read more

Wow! I was asked to pick up Hot and Sour soup for s work companion since I was in town--a Saturday only special. I arrived about 11:40 am and the line was to the door. Luckily it gave me lots of time to look at the menu! Since I was on a mission to get the soup, and had dinner plans, I was not going to be able to get all the lovely, lovely goodies I saw on all the tables. The place smelled of heaven. I had steamed pork dumplings. I wish that I had planned this as my "meal" for Saturday--like so most of my fellow diners had. Their tabes were full of plates and more food kept coming. To go orders were leaving in droves and people just kept coming in the door! I recommend bringing a fried or two and trying lots of lots of yummy goodies. My eyes did not even get the opportunity to consider the egg custard or the Boston cream pie! read more

Love Charlie's!!!! The cakes are by far the best ever. The Chinese food is also exceptional. We absolutely love Charlie's.

Charlie Bakery has the highest yelp rating for the Chinese cuisine in Anchorage. They are located in downtown historic district area. The store combine with bakery and order cafeteria style restaurant. We got the wonton noodle soup and the pan seared dumplings. The noodle is decent and chewy. The wonton is homemade with correct mixture of meat and spice. The pan fried dumplings is nice to fill your stomach. Price is reasonable, the food brought to table on time. I love the city don't have tax. It is saving for me. read more
