This is the only place to get fresh boba. No powder used here! Fresh fruit mixed fresh right before you! They even have Syrian! Buns are fresh and tasty and cheap. Their fresh fruit cakes are so light and airy. A great alternative to American style that is too sugary and loaded with icing! read more

This place is delicious!!! I tried the bbq pork bun, chicken curry bun, and the green onion & ham bun and they were all amazing, and I paid less than $3!!! The guys working there was very polite and helpful as well. I will be returning often. read more

Even though that they are the only Chinese bakery in town, they do not lack in freshness and quality of product. I've had many of their buns (during a period of time and also at one sitting ). The char siu bao has a good mix of BBQ pork and the veggies. The bun is slightly sweet, soft and light to eat. Another bun I like to get is the curry chicken bun, similar to the char siu bao, the bun itself is light and soft. The filling has a little bite of spicy since it is curry, the chicken is tender and full of curry flavor. This time I tried the green tea su, which is consistent with a filo type of pastry with green tea filling. The pastry is flaky and lightly sweeten. I'm already planning my next visit! I saw that they have a juice bar, I'll have to ask next time if they have boba. I'm excited just thinking about! read more

Go to place for all baos! The baos at honey bakery are fantastic, their red bean and pineapple bao is one of my favorites with its crunchy and sweet crust on top. I normally get their char siu bao but I've recently tried their other savory choices like the mushroom chicken which was equally as delicious. The prices are great, but I would like them to be a little hotter coming out of the warmer. Overall, still a fantastic place for a quick fix! read more

This review is based on a local Asian bakery. It's staffed by the owner and I think, his wife. There's no way they can compete with a franchise or large bakery in California. That said, it's still a little gem tucked away in a small strip mall off Keystone and 5th street. While most people that visit, get the traditional cha siu bao (bbq pork bun), the secret is that this place has the best cakes ever. Nothing is old or premade. Cakes have to be ordered 24 hours in advance but it's fluffy and guilt free tasting, so it's oh so worth it. Our family always order their cakes for all occasions. If you don't have time or need to order a whole cake, then their pastries will do and those too, are never old. If they run out, they run out. You'll have to wait until tomorrow for a fresh batch, so get there early! read more

I've known about honey bakery for a while now but haven't gone in to try it until today. Their sign said they open at 9:30am but they didn't actually unlock their doors til around 9:50am. The man behind the counter had a stoic look on his face as I walked in. I ordered the chicken mushroom, chicken curry, and BBQ pork buns. He went to the back room and went to get the fresh buns (apparently the displays aren't real). Total was $3.00 even. The buns were delicious! Definitely a good value. Oh, but make sure you bring CASH because they require a minimum purchase of $8 for debit/credit cards. I took away one star because the man was rather unfriendly. read more

My favorite place to get baked Manapua. If you are an islander you know what I mean. They also have other delicious treats that reminds me of the treats in Japan. read more

Decided to try this place out since I was in the area at a friends business. We tried to look around but the man behind the counter was very demanding. Asked what we wanted and kept sighing like we were wasting his time. I finally picked some stuff out and I ordered a drink. When I went to pay with my card, it had to be over a certain about of money and we were short. He then again sighed and told me to get more stuff. We reluctantly purchased more things, only because he was so rude. I did enjoy what we got, but I hate when owners are rude to you. I don't think they deserve my business. read more

Homemade dim sum. Minimum order begins at 9 pieces except for buns. Teriyaki chicken buns the tastiest. Chicken and mushroom buns lack flavor. Coconut tarts are good. Old wives cookies tasteless. read more

This place is amazing. Reno is in dire need of more Asian culture that transcends stereotypical Asian cuisine. The owners are friendly as can be and will steer you toward whatever you would like. You gotta be brave as cowards will miss all the best they have to offer. If it sounds like something that you might not ever try, that's the one you need to go for. We have been going here for years and always get a big bag of goodies to go. Very reasonably priced as well... One of my favorite snack places in Reno. read more

So excited to actually find SF quality dim sum in Reno! Owner is super nice.....excited for dinner!!

Very Good Pastries But wish they had more varieties, I like there smoothies and wish they had somewhere more to sit than a small table but I like this place cute and good read more

Very nice Chineese pastry shop here in Reno! I grew up having these kinds of pasteries in the Bay Area and now this place brings back those traditional treats! read more

One of my top favorite Asian bun places. Only dislike is this place is located in Reno and have yet to find one similar in Vegas. Highly recommend the ham & green onion bun. Personal favorite (and yes still searching for a Vegas location that makes a similar one. read more

I have been enjoying Honey Bakery for years. The charsiu baos & egg custard tarts are my "go to" treats for lunch, snacks or foodie gifts for family & friends. read more

This is the ONLY Chinese bakery in Reno. The owner makes all of the pastries & dumplings. Could not try the dumplings because the pre-made sauce he uses has MSG. He was honest to let me know that he ordered the sauce, but he makes everything else for the dumplings. I am obsessed with anything Taro. This beautiful pastry is lacking something, I am not sure what it lacks, I purchased them every time I visited Honey Bakery. It is really a beautiful purple/white cone shaped pastry. Warning, you must eat immediately, for some weird reason, they go bad, even kept in fridge after 12 hours. They are very heavy, I could only eat one each time I visited, but I always buy 2. Next day, the second one is bad by the smell of bad Taro. The Wife's cake was tasty but a bit too oily. The mung beans cake was very dry and the dough was tough. The chicken teriyaki bun was nice, but my bun had no chicken, just a little sauce. I purchased other pastries with other visits, but forgot to take photos. This bakery prefers to be paid by cash. The owner will tag on a fee if you pay by credit card. I appreciate small businesses and the honesty of the owner. Will definitely visit next time I am back in Reno. Best wishes to him & his family! read more

Honey Bakery...Will you marry me? Some of the BEST buns in town!! Delicious semi sweet buns covering a variety of fillings like curry, mushroom, BBQ pork, ham and onion,pineapple, coconut etc. Theres too many to name, their all delicious!! Roughly $1.50 a bun, grab a couple bags full, eat some now, eat some later, store in the fridge for tomorrow. They have sweet and savory buns, desserts, boba and they make customs cakes as well. The staff are very nice, there isn't any seating here, so you take it to go. The display cases show you all the yummy offerings they have. They have other little bagged cookies and breads as well. I have been coming here for years and have never been disappointed, only when their closed. read more

"Best Asian bakery in Reno!" First time there, don't have a lot of choices as other Chinese bakeries in the big city, but good enough for local. Friendly service, food quality was the BEST! The price was just right for the local, if you compare the prices to SF China town, it's a bit more, but I'm not complaining. We were happy to know that they are in town to serve the local with their Asian bakery and Asian cakes! Yum yum! read more

My oldest sister introduced us to this place..and I'm in love! Sooo much to choose from, but I have to say my favorite thing was the SAUSAGE BUN..omg!! Tasted like a sweet Hawaiian bun with a small hot dog in the middle. If you're Polynesian and you've had a pani popo, THIS is what the bun tastes like we ordered a few other buns which I didn't try, but I'm sure they're just as great! Service was friendly and fast. Definitely coming back! read more

Was absolutely shocked to see a 2 star review. Easily one of my favorite quick spots for lunch in Reno, and the service is always great. A family owned business that clearly takes pride in what they do. Every person I buy a sausage bun for gets hooked! read more

Ever since discovering this place we've stopped here on the way out of town after weekends in Reno. For less than 10.00 you can get a big bag of steamed buns, egg custards, and coconut buns for the road. I can't vouch for the boba tea and I didn't grow up in San Fran, but I can tell you, as a Seattle native and frequenter of Chinatowns the country over, that these buns are solid. The BBQ pork bun is my favorite with its savory filling and sweet, fluffy-doughy exterior. The egg custards are as good as any I've gotten at Mon Hei in Seattle. Yes, everything in the case is display only. Yes, you may not get excellent customer service. Not only is this a cultural thing, but have you seen the parking lot? This is the 'hood - or at least what qualifies as the 'hood where I come from. There is always some shady character wandering around outside and the last time I came in the owner was politely listening to a homeless-hippie-hipster couple's story about why the name on their credit card was incorrect. If I had to deal with the variety of colorful peeps (some nice, some not so nice) walking through the door, I might not be as pleasant. There are a good variety of savory and sweet buns here - all worth a try, especially since they're all around 1.00! read more

The key to Honey Bakery is getting there early. The pineapple buns are my favorite, the curry are super yummy too but sell out pretty quickly. Their breads are also quite tasty. The gentleman that is usually there (owner, I assume) isn't too friendly but that hasn't stopped me from going back. read more

Pineapple Red Bean Buuuuuuunnn! ohnomnomnom! Seriously, these guys are awesome and you can't beat their prices.

This is my new favorite bakery in town. Tasty mushroom chicken buns for $1.00 and assorted fruit tapioca drink for $3.75. The owner told me that they will be serving dim sum entrees soon. Yummy! read more

OMG! Their curry chicken bun is to die for! Also good bbq pork bau and coconut/pineapple tart. Can't wait to return....and eat about 6 curry chicken buns! read more

Love the Bubble Teas!!!! I live in Carson and go to Reno 3x a week for the teas and buns!! The Vanilla Green Milk Tea is amazing! The Avocado is good as well. My kids love the Pineapple Buns. The Gentleman behind the counter was very helpful and nice. read more

objectively speaking... they are really just ok, however i do appreciate their existance for satisfying my cravings for asian style bake goods read more

I had a cutard bun and teriyaki bun..both amazimgly delicious! I also ordered a mocha sponge birthday cake layered with whipped cream and small cuts of honeydew, cantalope and strawberries. It was divine...its just one of these cakes that is light, fluffy, just the right amount of sweetness that wasnt overpowering. I rarely eat a whole slice and I savored every bite of my slice. Dennis did a great job decoratimg the cake. read more

Being raised in Hawaii... I can say these are better pork buns than Chinatown! Wow! How are these so good in Reno?! Talk about lucky! Go get BBQ pork buns! They will change your life! Just amazing! read more

Best boba tea ever! Their fresh taro tea is really good. Went to San Francisco the other day and Honey Bakery beat all the ones there! Love it and they have good bakery goods too read more

This place is freakin amazing! The owners are so nice and such hard workers, and are always pumped when I come in and order all of the chicken curry rolls. Honestly though, the chicken curry rolls are amazing!!!!! They have amazing boba tea too. Definitely give this place a try! Cheap and delicious snacks that are a great alternative to any of the "fast food" on this side of town. read more

This is a food haven. A small shop where flavor reigns and quality shines over fanfare. Tucked in a less-than-pleasant strip mall is Honey Bakery. This shop is simple and has one purpose: good food. While you won't find ambient lighting or soft music setting the atmosphere, you will experience better dim sum and milk tea than any of the Instagram-able shops in town. The Shumai is ridiculously good. The order comes with 16 pieces which seems excessive at first, but once a friend tries one, they'll take 5. The steamed buns are soft and flavorful and the wife cakes are delicious. Each time I go in, my expectations waver because of the minimalistic setup. Yet inevitably I leave content, guarding my shumai vigilantly. Treat yourself to some Honey Bakery. While you may doubt the choice when you get there, you'll likely end up a fan too. read more

Honey Bakery has long been a favorite of my family. We used to go here and then go to Sundance books when it was nearby. The cakes and pastries are adorable and the savory buns and dumplings are interesting if you're feeling adventurous. My all time favorites are the milk buns, pineapple buns and wife cakes. A couple of my children really enjoy the tuna and sausage buns but I'm just not that cool. The roll cakes make a great, cheap, fast and beautiful gift for showers and hosts. They're colorful and quirky. Couple major downsides. First, like most bakeries the supply is based on what they have when you go. So, if you go in wanting a sack of wife cakes and they didn't make any that day or someone else bought them all, you just have to pick something else. It can be a bummer. Especially, if you go there with kids looking for their favorites. Secondly, there's a debit card minimum. It's like 9$ but if you go in the afternoon and they're low on baked goodies , picking enough items you like and hitting that target can be tough. read more

Love love love this bakery - very cheap, a great deal. Good selection of unique bakery goods. Helps me with my Asian bakery cravings ;)

The boba itself was good, and I'm sure the teas are great, but don't bother with the fruity boba drinks -- they're over sweet and just kind of weird? I had a strawberry drink with boba and the drink wasn't very good, but the boba itself was amazing. Their pork buns are great too. Not much of an atmosphere -- the cashier was polite enough and the place was clean, but it's small and there's only one table, but that shouldn't matter. It's a bakery, and for what it is it's really great. read more

I wish they had nutritional info for their food. It's great, the coconut bun is amazing. Of course it's not as great as the Asian Bakeries in New York's China Town but still decent for Reno. The bubble tea is amazing and the service is mediocre. read more

Great pork buns... 'Reminds me of the baked manapua I used to get in Hawaii. We also enjoy the curry chicken and chicken mushroom buns. Dennis Li, the owner is friendly and personable. The Buns areare fresh, warm and affordable. read more

This is not a donut shop, but a Chinese bakery. While they have cakes and cookies in wonderful Asian flavors, the reason I go is for the buns. Imagine your grandma's best yeast rolls baked to golden brown perfection. When you bite inside you find delicious filling. They have both sweet and savory fillings and even the sweetest of fillings are less sweet than your typical breakfast pastry. The savory fillings, like bbq pork or chicken mushroom are great for a quick lunch or breakfast for those who don't want a sugar bump in the morning. The durian cake is a must try from thier cake selections. With most buns under $2, this place should always be packed. Remember to bring cash. read more

This bakery is good because it's the only one in Reno (I think), but the quality and price for some reason just doesn't compare to the ones in China Town in Oakland. They're ok though for being the only one. No competition for them. read more

Dried pork is my fav here. Their moon cake is really good too!
