Overall: 5 stars Bakery that went viral for their mango mochi a while back and I finally made it early enough to try it myself. As a cantonese person, that mango mochi hits all the right spots, highly recommend. Mango Mochi - Thick yet soft mochi that is coated in coconut flakes and filled with sumptuous and creamy mango. Absolutely plump fantastic dessert that is not too sweet for only $3.50 each. Food: +1 Presentation: E Price: +1 Insta/Yelp/Beli: @amei_eats Insta/TikTok: @ameizing.race read more

Only ordered the mango mochi from here because I saw it on social media- It was good but honestly just okay, I've had mochi in Asia so I was expecting the mochi to be a lot more chewy. The texture could've been better for $3 per mochi Fresh mangoes inside of it though! read more

I came here during my solo Chinatown food crawl and it was the perfect end to my crawl. I came for the mango mochi and it was worth the hype. The mochi was incredibly soft with large chunks of mango. I loved how fresh and light the mochi was, and I'm not a big mochi girl. I'd highly recommend trying it. read more

Got the mango mochi and it's as good as people say. Personally not a big fan of anything too sweet and this tastes like straight mango, no extra sweetener so right up my alley.

We came here for the viral mango mochi, and it did not disappoint! We came in the morning and they were busy inside, a lot of seating and quite spacious. Wow the mango mochi was so delicious, it was soft and good texture and a good amount of filling! It was topped with coconut flakes and not overly sweet. Definitely worth the hype, it was $3 and I think that's a great price for the size. We also came for the hot soy milk, but they weren't serving it yet, and they have a ton of options to choose from for pastry and baked goods. Definitely recommended trying this place! read more

Came here on a mission to try their viral mango mochi! This thing is HEEEEFTY. I feel like it weights at least a pound. Not a bad deal for $3. Also nice and fragrant from the coconut flakes dusted on top. The mochi layer is quite thick, but soft and pliable. NOT TOO SWEET, love that. My only gripe is the ratios. I wish there were less mochi and more mango filling to make it perfection. read more

As a mango lover, I've been dying to try the mango mochi I've been seeing on TikTok. This is a no frills place, and is just your standard asian bakery that you know all the locals go to. One thing to keep in mind is that it's cash only, but I believe they do take venmo as well. The mangos were super fresh and the mochi was delicious. The coconut flakes brought everything together and made for a really great midday sweet treat. I would definitely get this again! read more

Not to mention the fresh mango inside, beautifully sweet and ripe. I really enjoyed the coconut on the outside, although if you aren't a coconut fan you might not. The service was great & we were in and out quick despite it being a busy day. 10/10 recommend, perfect sweet treat for only $3! Make sure to bring cash! read more

The staff are very efficient keeping the line going and having their food stocked for the crowds. This bakery is much more crowded since their mango mochi became tik tok famous. Their other breads and goods are in line with other bakery's in the area in terms of quality size and price. Their mango mochi is much better than what's offered elsewhere. Their fruit is always bright and sweet and the mochi is very soft. It's a bit pricier than what it used to be- now 3.50 but it's understandable given how fresh the mangos are. Just be warned that this mochi is not chewy. It just is soft and melts in your mouth. read more

My friend went to New York over Thanksgiving and was nice enough to bring me a mango mochi from Golden Manna Bakery. By the time I got it, the mochi really has gone through enough trauma to last an entire lifetime. It was incredibly squashed, almost like it's been pummeled and dropped before getting kicked. The mango filling was splattered all over the plastic wrapper. It was a mess. However, it was still really delicious, chewy and stretchy despite all that it went through. The coconut flakes were crispy and went well with the mango filling, which was filled with mango chunks. Even though it isn't mango season right now, the mangos were still pretty sweet. Overall, delicious treat, and I know I will be going to Golden Manna Bakery during my next NYC trip. read more

I inhaled it so fast and then got some to go for later because it was so addicting, I honestly was sad I didn't get more. It was clean inside and the staff was really friendly. Also there were lots of little tables inside to eat at as well. 10/10 don't miss out on this spot! It is important to note that they take Cash or Venmo (with a +15% transaction fee) read more

Their mango mochi transported me right back to my childhood days in Hong Kong, and tasted exactly like how I remember it. Their mango mochi was $3 each, slightly more expensive than the one from Tai Pan ($2.75), but definitely offered better value--they used real mango chunks for the filling, and even the mochi dough was mango-flavored. You could tell how rich it was in mango flavor just by its vibrant orange color. The mango itself was incredibly sweet, even though mangoes weren't quite in season yet. They sold out of mango mochi when I came in late afternoon, but I revisited at noon on the other day and finally got it. Absolutely obsessed! read more

Went around 3 pm on a weekend to try the mango mochi and there was a short line of just a few people which moved quickly. The mochi was well worth the hype - sticky, stretchy and oh so pillowy. The glutinous rice was incredibly soft, and covered in coconut flakes which enhanced the mango flavor. The star of the show was the filling, which consisted of chunks of real mango that were sweet and ever slightly tart. I was worried that the filling would be too liquid-y but that wasn't the case, and everything held together well. The mochi were larger than I was expecting and for $3, what a steal!! They also offer other pastries, coffee, and tea which we did not try. They do have some table seating inside, and though the space is relatively small, we saw many Asian aunties and uncles enjoying other bakery items which I feel is always a good sign. As with most other places in Chinatown, bring cash! read more

Also tried a pineapple bun filled with char siu and although I think I preferred the regular pineapple bun, I still found it far superior to the one I got at Mei Lai Wah. Mango mochi were delicious, such a soft texture, and filled with fresh, sweet mango. The only thing I didn't like were these small cookies that looked like mini pineapple buns-- unfortunately they tasted nothing like pineapple buns and were rather dry/crumbly. read more

I visited Hong Kong last year and ate delicious mango mochis there. Ones that I have never been able to find in NYC. So, when it was going around on social media that Golden Manna Bakery had mango mochi that reminded people of that of Hong Kong's, I had to go check it out. Some people even claimed that they were exactly like those in Hong Kong. I had high expectations and was excited because the price is only $3 too. I bought 4 so I could share it with my family and unfortunately, we all agree that social media has lied once again. The mochi is way too soft and mushy and the mango to mochi ratio is like 30%-70%. The mangos were sweet though, but the search continues. read more

Personally, I would have preferred more of the tiramisu flavor without the full tiramisu texture mixed into the drink. That said, it was an interesting concept and I'm glad I tried it. I'd definitely be open to coming back and trying another latte on a future visit.

The black sesame filling was runnier compared to the matcha one, but we liked them both. I would definitely come back to try their other cream puff flavors - especially the seasonal ones.

I probably never leave reviews in general, especially negative ones, but this experience was so…read moreegregious that I honestly felt like I had to say something. I've worked in restaurants and bars long enough to understand that staff drinking happens, but this was on another level entirely. I came in with a group of friends and one of the bartenders, Will, was so visibly drunk that it made the entire experience uncomfortable. Slurred speech, wobbling behind the bar, taking orders while chewing food with his mouth open -- it was honestly embarrassing to watch. He looked like he absolutely did not want to be there. At one point, my group had been trying to get his attention for another round for quite a while while he stood around talking with coworkers. We then watched staff take a shot together, and when he finally came over he burped mid-conversation and literally had whatever he had just been drinking dribbling down his neckbeard. That was the moment where the whole thing went from unprofessional to just gross. What made it worse was that it didn't seem isolated to one employee. Throughout the night we watched staff openly taking shots and drinking behind the bar like it was a house party instead of a business. There's a difference between bar culture and complete lack of professionalism, and this crossed that line hard. One of the friends I was with actually frequents the DUMBO location and said that the last time she was there, the same bartender also seemed intoxicated, which makes this feel less like a bad night and more like an ongoing issue. The DUMBO location itself is in an amazing spot, which makes it even more disappointing. But ownership seriously needs to get control of what's going on there before someone gets hurt or the place develops a reputation for having drunk staff on the clock. Unfortunately, the experience was uncomfortable enough that my girlfriends and I won't be coming back. I genuinely hope the employee mentioned gets help if this is a regular thing, because nobody should be working service in that condition.

A Michelin-Star-Level Egg Salad Sandwich…read more This update focuses on the egg salad sandwich, which stole the show on my most recent visit. I ordered the egg salad sandwich on toasted whole-wheat bread, and it was outstanding. The flavor and texture were, in my opinion, Michelin-star level. Visually, it was almost a work of art: the egg salad had a beautiful, vibrant yellow color, thanks to the addition of yellow mustard and the use of high-quality eggs. What makes the sandwich particularly impressive is how simple the recipe is. The egg salad is based on George Motz's mother's classic recipe, made with just hard-boiled eggs, yellow mustard, and quality mayonnaise. Sometimes, keeping things simple is the secret to making something exceptional. I chose the express line and headed to the first-come, first-served seating area in the back. I quickly found a window seat, which gave me a great view of the constant SoHo hustle and bustle--the perfect setting for enjoying lunch. There are also several options for customizing your experience. You can order the egg salad on white or wheat bread, toasted or untoasted. And if you can't decide between egg salad and tuna salad, there's the off-menu "Jonathan," which combines half egg salad and half tuna salad in the same sandwich. Another option is the Salad Plate, which comes with a scoop of both egg salad and tuna salad served with Ritz crackers. As always, the restaurant was spotless, and the service was efficient, friendly, and consistently excellent. For me, though, the star of this visit was unquestionably the egg salad sandwich--simple ingredients, beautifully executed, and absolutely delicious.

Golden Manna Bakery is a traditional Chinese bakery in Manhattan's Chinatown that offers a wide variety of freshly baked pastries, buns, and classic desserts at affordable prices. The shop has a simple, neighborhood feel, with display cases filled with fresh baked goods and customers constantly stopping in for a quick snack. As soon as I walked inside, the smell of warm bread, buttery pastry, and sweet custard made it hard to leave with just one item. The pastries were the highlight of my visit. The mango mochi stood out with its soft, chewy exterior and lightly sweet filling, while the egg tart had a flaky crust and a smooth, creamy custard that was still warm from the oven. I also enjoyed browsing the selection of pineapple buns, coconut cream buns, and savory roast pork buns, giving me plenty of options whether I was in the mood for something sweet or savory. Beyond the pastries, the bakery offers everyday staples like fresh bread and traditional Chinese baked goods that are perfect for taking home. Everything felt freshly made, and the prices made it easy to try a few different items without spending much. It is the kind of place where I like picking up a small assortment to enjoy throughout the day. The service was quick and efficient, with staff keeping the line moving despite the steady flow of customers. There is very little seating inside, so it works best as a grab-and-go bakery, especially if you are already exploring Chinatown. Overall, Golden Manna Bakery is a great stop for anyone looking to experience a classic Chinatown bakery. The fresh pastries, excellent value, and welcoming neighborhood atmosphere make it a place I would happily return to whenever I am craving a quick and satisfying treat. read more

Golden Manna Bakery is an absolute gem! Their egg tarts are hands down some of the best I've ever had--perfectly flaky crust with a rich, creamy filling.

I drop by their midtown location more often though when I'm in East Village/LES it's hard to resist them temptation to stop by! At this point I've tried most desserts and savory items on their menu, and as a whole really enjoyed them. As someone who's spent a lot of time in SE Asia and have spoken to friends who are from there as well, this spot is the most legit place for kuih, they've gotten the flavors (pandan, gula melaka, coconut, etc) and texture (smooth, bouncy, a little chewy) down pat. Their fancier items showcase brilliant pastry techniques and incorporate Asian and SE Asian flavors as well, with their mango curd mousse, black sesame passion fruit, pandan panna cotta being among my favorites, and their chestnut buche de noel is a seasonal delight. The desserts have a more subtle flavor and sweetness level than western desserts and I'm glad for that! Their sambal (sold by the jar) is fantastic and adds a spicy umami so highly recommend. They did seasonal ice cream pops one summer a few years ago and those were rich, creamy and scrumptious. In my most recent visit picked up a piece of cassava kuih $3.28 and hojicha sesame & red bean kuih $4.28. The cassava one of my faves and kinda tastes like a very light sweet potato flavor with the texture of a rice cake. The latter paired together a few notable Asian flavors and they each came thru in different bites. The husband and wife team that runs this spot is super kind and sweet, staff have been very helpful whenever I've had questions. I gush about this spot to everyone who's interested in SE Asian desserts, it's that good!
