I've been to Wei Hong once since I was in the area and heard that they offer Chinese baked goods. Upon entering their bakery is at the very front and they have a restaurant right behind it. I tried their pork floss bun and sesame ball. I wasn't a fan of the sesame ball or the pork bun, which was disappointing. With the sesame ball it's mainly because I'm starting to come to the realization that I don't like the taste of sesame seeds, which I didn't realize at the time. And the pork bun didn't have a good ratio of filling and bread, I think it could have used a little more filling. Overall my experience was alright, I haven't tried other items there, so there may be other things there that are worth trying that I don't know about. read more

Still carry out only. It was warmer so we just ordered and ate at a table outside. Crispy seafood is my go-to, lots of little fishes with ginger and water chestnuts and comes with a side of white rice. So delicious! I always get a red bean sesame ball to eat later. I tried the Chicken Lo Mein that my daughter ordered. It was good with lots of chicken. If you like duck, it's a popular item here. read more

Wei Hong Bakery & Restaurant - Duck display - Bakeries Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

Wish they still did table service, but I get why they're totally take out only. Inside is decorated like every Cantonese style Chinese restaurant since the 1970s: full of bright red lanterns, gilded gold 發財 and other well wishes, and ceramic and porcelain vases. There is a limited selection of bakery items, but do not sleep on them. There's take away cheung fun, incredibly bouncy glutinous rice pork dumplings (鹹水蓋), egg tarts, pineapple buns, and other mainstays growing up Chinese. There are many Americanized Chinese items on the menu, but the best deal on the menu is the rice dishes (if you're a meat eater). Packed full to the brim, you'll get steam rice, sautéed fresh bok choy, and your choices of main entree (I always get either the ginger chicken 蔥油雞飯 or the 3 meat trio of duck, roast pork (think lechon), and the ginger chicken). I can eat off that plate for 2 or more meals. So good, worth a try if you haven't! read more

I was pretty sick so I decided to order here. This is mostly to go since this place here is closed off for dine-in. I'd say this place is authentic as the owner was born and raised in Hong Kong. I enjoyed eating the congee dipped with fried bread sticks. I also had some siu mai as well. I felt like the food might be a bit too expensive, but that's the US for you. There werent much bakery to begin with, especially in the late afternoon so I think it's best to come in the mornings if I wasn't working. I wanted to have some pineapple bun, but it isn't available. I feel like the place would've been much better if there was dine-in, but I guess it hasn't been by the looks of it + reviews mentioning it. Overall, I do recommend eating here if you want some authentic Cantonese food. read more

Delicious, authentic Chinese food. As a vegetarian, I highly recommend the salt and pepper egg tofu, garlic string beans, and the mapo tofu. Ordered online for takeout and it took almost an hour for it to be ready but pricing is extremely reasonable and the food was delicious, worth the wait! read more

This is my friend's favorite Chinese spot and she recommends this to everyone. I took her out for her birthday and then went to Tower Grove to eat. She LOVES their orange chicken and always asks for extra sauce. This time they misunderstood and only put the sauce on the side, which is why the chicken looks like that. She asked for no spiciness, but it was still hot for her when she tried it. I didn't think it was spicy at all (but I'm less sensitive to heat). I wanted to try something new and got the egg tofu and mushroom. It comes with other veggies as well in a very neutral flavorless brown sauce. I had never had egg tofu before it is a Very soft tofu that almost dissolves in your mouth. I don't think anything was wrong with the dish, but as someone who likes really strong flavors, it was not for me. I ended up using some of my friend's orange sauce, which I loved! We ended up going back and ordering even more sauce by itself. The crab Rangoon was great. It seemed to maybe have a little more crab than you usually see at other restaurants. It was a little browner than I was used to, but it didn't taste burnt. We had a lovely time eating it in the park, but we brought all of our own plates, napkins, and silverware. If you're not bringing your own, make sure to ask for napkins and silverware. read more

Used to stop here frequently pre-COVID and grab a half duck and roasted pork along with a couple baked options. The cost of duck has tripled since but it is still delicious if you are willing to pay the price. read more

This family owned bakery has been here for years and is a staple for Cantonese/Hong Kong style baked goods! Highly recommend coming by for affordable and delicious buns and dim sum dishes (packaged to go). My favorite savory items are the ham and onion bun, the bbq pork bun, and the fried taro puffs. My favorite sweet items are the egg tart, pineapple bun, and coconut roll. Their sweet items are pretty light, so you won't have a sugar crash after enjoying them. There's no tables in the bakery area, but it's definitely worth stopping by! The family who works here is very sweet and kind and boxes everything nicely for you. There's a big lot behind the restaurant to park. read more

We were in the area so we decided to come here to pick up some food to go after our morning coffee and dessert at another place nearby. It has been over a year since we stop by Wei hong. The bakery has several premade options, so we brought them. We did not order from the menu due to being in a bit of a time crunch in this particular day. The food tastes decent. We would definitely order from the menu next time and probably would call in to order. I wish this place would be a dine in place like before COVID, Unfortunately it is only to go. read more

I've been going to this bakery since I was a little kid. Its' always served us amazing and authentic cantonese/Hong Kong style foods and dishes. The family that owns this place is amazing and they're always great with their service. My husband and I love getting a whole roasted duck and every now and then some baked goods. Truly a gem in the neighborhood. read more

Service was quick although they don't have any inside seating. We got a take out order then ate on their patio. The cashew chicken was light but lacked a lot of flavor. While we didn't order any, they had some good looking pastries inside. read more

Carry out only, but they have seating available in front of the restaurant. Dropped in to check out their bakery and tried one of their $1.50 BBQ Pork Buns. It was pretty good. They also have pack of 3 steamed BBQ Pork or regular pork buns for $6. On the sweet side, they had coconut custard bun, red bean sesame balls and green bean sesame balls. .|\---/| | o_o | .\_^_/..2022 read more

Coming from an area where Asian food is very prevalent, it has been overall tough to find good Chinese bakeries/food in STL, but this place definitely does hit the spot. Came here near closing hour, and everything was take out only (unclear how long this had been going on). I got the roasted pork, BBQ pork, ham and scallion bun, and BBQ pork buns. The roasted pork (which I purchased by the pound) was very good, extremely tender and juicy. The skin is cooked perfectly, where it's super crisp/crunchy and the fat is perfectly rendered. The BBQ pork had a good amount of tenderness and mild natural pork sweetness. The BBQ pork bun was also very good, the bread was the right amount of chew and tenderness. Finally, the ham and scallion bun was exceedingly delicious, with the right amount of balance of flavors. Overall, a good experience, and will definitely come back to try the other pastries. 4/5 stars. read more

Stopping by on a quick visit to St Louis and it's honestly some of the best Chinese food I've had. The Hunan chicken was so flavorful, and the perfect level of heat. The Rangoon had more filling than so many other places. The hot and sour soup wasn't my favorite, but I was full anyway. 11/10, would come back here again! read more

We ordered delivery from this place, pretty solid Chinese food. Great vegetable fried rice and sesame tofu. The serving sizes are enormous, definitely shareable. We ordered multiple different things for a group of four people. Didn't get to see inside of the restaurant, but overall solid Chinese food. We will definitely try it again. read more

I don't know why they call it a bakery, because there was nothing in the display case. The place is filthy, with a dirty floor and dim lighting. The inside is disorganized, and there's no seating--it honestly feels like part of the space has been turned into a daycare. The duck in the case looked awful, and the area behind the register was also disgusting. How can they expect people to eat here? The service was terrible--I waited 30 minutes just to be acknowledged at the register, and there were only four customers at 4 pm. After waiting so long with no one at the register, I decided to walk out. read more

Their selections are very minimal (they close off the seats and have only a few items up front). I tried their sesame ball -- it was greasy and hard, and overpriced, nothing like true Asian bakery items. I would recommend skipping this place. :( The service staff is also unfriendly. Also note, they are cash only until you hit $5. You would be better served driving out to Manchester or elsewhere read more

The best Chinese bakery in town! A great selection of savory and sweet buns, pastries, and items you'll find at a dim-sum restaurant. The bbq pork bun is a personal favorite. The custard bun is also solid! Did I mention they have amazing egg tarts?? read more

Well, at least the steamed white rice was okay. When delivering to a hotel, consider adding utensils and napkins to the order. Egg Rolls: slightly overcooked, but not bad. Vegetables were fresh. Gyoza: I liked the doughy wrapper. Filling was bland. Sesame Chicken: Fiancée liked this, but she says the sauce was slightly too vinegary. Chicken Wings: Extremely overcooked. Difficult to gnaw through. Clearly fried in oil used for many other dishes. Horrible. Roast Pork, Duck, Chicken: Chicken and pork were tender and juicy, but severely oversalted. Hardly any duck. What may have been duck skin had the texture of a plastic credit card. Spare Ribs w/ Bean Paste Sauce: Bone fragments with sparse meat. Really, call them Sparse Ribs. The sauce had potential to be okay, but way too salty. Overall disgusting dish. At least this place has a funny name (We Hung). Never ever again. Completely unclear why Door Dash has this rated as 4.7. read more

Stopped here to get some roasted duck, bakeries, and their crispy pork. Roast duck wasn't what I was expecting. Their crispy pork was a bit salty. Staff are very friendly. Definitely will be back if we're in town. Highly recommend their bakeries and pre made items. Perfect for a road trip read more

I have SEARCHED for the BAKED char siu bao. This was the only place I could find in STL that had it. Everyone has the steamed version but this place has the baked ones and I was beyond excited. The bread was sweet and the dough they used was perfect even when reheated at home. The woman behind the counter even went and got me some of the fresh ones because I think I bought all the ones in the case lol. I also bought red bean sesame balls which were done perfectly. All I can say is these people know what they're doing. Prices were great I would have paid much much more for what I bought. Seriously a great find. I did not dine in I just took my stuff to go but I WILL BE BACK. So glad to have found them. read more

We ordered delivery. The crab rangoon was old and inedible. The steamed dumplings were doughy and gummy. The egg roll tasted like old oil. We'll never order from there again. read more

Passing through St. Louis and really wanted to get sweet chinese baked bread. I was totally in luck when we happen to stop by and there were pork buns (baked kind). Bought a whole box to take with us. They are large, soft, and stuffed with a lot of pork! When I imagine a perfect pork bun, THIS IS IT! Just sad that is place isn't so close to me. But if I were to ever pass through this area, this will be my #1 stop! read more

I love their wonton and shrimp dumpling noodle soup. I added fish balls to it, which was wonderful. The texture of the fish balls were bouncy and chewy, this great flavor. Even the wontons and shrimp dumplings were homemade, with a thin wonton skin, which showcased more of the filling, exactly the way I'd like it to be. The soup was very flavorful and light colored, not dark in color with soy sauce. There is no indoor seating restaurant. This is only an order and takeout place. read more

I found Wei Hong Bakery after searching for food options on Grand near Tower Grove Park online and coming across it. It's a short 2-minute walk from Grand & Juniata St. The look and feel of the entrance and main front area is nothing notable, but there is some decor that gives it a bit of cliche character. Based on my experience at the front counter bakery section, check-out felt pretty rushed and impersonal, so don't go in expecting a stellar customer service experience at the bakery. However, the food definitely makes up for all of that. I chose a good variety of front counter bakery options, including the ham & scallion bun, the red bean sesame ball, the steamed BBQ pork buns, and the rice cakes. So far I have tried everything except for the rice cakes. After ordering everything at the bakery, I took them back to where I was staying, warmed them up, and had them with a cup of tea. Let me start with my favorite. The red bean sesame ball was wayyy better than I expected. It has a light, crisp coat with a soft chewy rice cake underneath it, surrounding the softly sweet red bean paste in the middle. I seriously never had a red bean rice cake like it before! Definitely something that would bring me back to this place again because it is so delicious and unique. The steamed BBQ pork buns were standardly good, and the ham & scallion bun was a nice light flavorful food option. I'm looking forward to trying out the rice cakes! I'd like to note that everything I got was only $13. That is a really great value for everything I got (particularly since I got the steamed BBQ pork buns and the rice cakes in packs of 6). Despite the mediocre to subpar decor and customer service, would I come back again? If I'm not caring about customer service experience or ambience that day, absolutely! Especially for that amazing sesame red bean ball! read more

I've been eye balling this bakery since February when I knew that I was moving to St. Louis and am glad that I finally have been able to try it out. Immediately upon walking in, I noticed the familiar Cantonese roasted ducks hanging in the oven roaster. This image is one that's familiar to me and brings me back to childhood when I would go shopping with my mom. Since we were just coming from dinner, we opted for just a few items to try out the quality. We ordered the sesame ball with mung bean, sesame ball with green tea, sweet coconut bun, and breakfast rolls. Of note, these are all authentic and tastes like any Chinese bakeries I've had in several other cities (Virginia, Colorado, California). I look forward to ordering the roast duck in the near future. Of note: They do take orders for birthday/celebratory cakes. read more

The pork and duck combo might have been the most authentic and delicious thing I have ever had. It was well seasoned, flavorful, and juicy. Service was good and quick (about 10 minutes). The ambiance of the place was very nostalgic and was kept fairly clean. Will come back next time I visit :) read more

Wei Hong is (I think) the south city version of Wei Hong on Olive - my fav Chinese bbq and bakery combo. This location does solid Cantonese fair include noodle and/or wonton soups - bbq - and thick skinned big chewy dumplings. During cold weather I get soups from here 1-2x/wk. The roasted duck, chicken, and pork on rice is one of my favorite dishes. I like the rice underneath more than any fried rice. The beef chow fun (flat dry fried noodle dish) is also very good. Go here, get Cantonese. Do not get the American Chinese dishes. If you don't know what dishes are Cantonese, Google it. I have not been for the dim sum. read more

Was looking for a Chinese bakery, to buy my wife something for Mother's Day. While they didn't have egg tarts (her favorite; weekends only), I did buy some sesame balls, pork buns, and a sponge cake. Everything was really good and tasted fresh. If it had been a little cheaper, I could've given a fifth star. read more

I've been trying to figure out if they are related to the Wei Hong Seafood Restaurant on Olive. B/c if they are - the Seafood one is by far superior in their bakery, roasted bbq, and other Cantonese offerings. But this place does have the steamed rice cake that the other bakery does not carry. With that said, this is a Cantonese-American restaurant with dim sum on the weekends, bakery items, and BBQ meats. I really wanted to love this place, but it just doesn't hit the spot for me. Sometimes it does, but it is inconsistent. Maybe it's b/c I'm sooo picky with my Cantonese food. The Food: 1) Beef Chow Fun was actually spot on 2) Honey glazed roasted pork was dry and not glazed. This was so sad 3) Bakery offerings are limited, but more expansive on the weekends. They also make steamed angel-like birthday cakes with fruit. This is like my favorite thing in the world. I called it a birthday cake, but it's just a fluffy chinese asian cake that is steamed with whipped cream and fresh fruit. The service is okay, nothing to rave about. They do speak Cantonese and a lot of the restaurants are actually Mandarin based if they are not only serving Chinese-American, so if you are craving some Hong-Kong style wonton soup, thick large pot-stickers, and beef chow fun - this is the place if you can't get to Olive street. read more

Got here at 11:30 for dim sum on a Sunday, and it was deaaad. Like 2 tables occupied. We thought we were wrong and there was no dim sum here, and when we were finally seated we were filled with regret. No matter what small random town or big Chinese neighborhood it is, good dim sum is always busy on a weekend morning, and early too. So red flag number 1? It did pick up a little around 12:30 by the time we were getting ready to leave - restaurant was half full by then. Lots of people were here to pick up the BBQ, some times by the trayfuls and the line got pretty long once the city woke up. The dim sum was order off a menu and they bring it out to you. The food was like reheated, oversteamed, and tasted old and with way too much msg and salt. Atmosphere was so drab for a reason, I guess. Nothing was terrible, but it didn't taste fresh nor did it make me feel very good afterwards. The bbq we took home was okay too. Crispy juicy pork (salty tho), duck that didn't have enough meat and tasted a little overcured to me. But with pan asia's own bbq they're basically my one stop shop. For now Wonton King is still the place to be for a lively cart-filled weekend dim sum for me. read more

So.. I've been driving past this place for years and never knew it was this good. Basically a bakery slash restaurant, but not just your regular Chinese fair. Cantonese cuisine so not a bunch of candy meat. You know what I mean? like at ur run of the mill Chinese spot everything is sweet. Nope not here instead of sweet most of the menu is savory which to me is a wonderful thing. The curry dishes and the stews are good. The rolls with meat in the center are good The roasted duck, pork and chicken are good So it's safe to say they know what there doing. Plus u can order online and pick up. read more

I got a recommendation to try this restaurant out during our Chinese New Year lunch-and-learn celebration at work so I went here today to get some dumplings (plus some Crab Rangoon). I placed my order online and went in to pick them up. The cash register is conveniently located right by the bakery counter and everything looked so good, I had no choice but to grab a ham and scallion bun. First thing I tried was the ham and scallion bun and holy MOLY was it delish. The bun is just a tiny bit sweet, with just the right amount of salt. The ham is salty and pairs perfectly with the bun. The scallions are strong, but I love that flavor. It was amazing. Second, I dug into the crab rangoon so that I could indulge while they were still warm. These are EASILY the best I have ever had. Easily. They were stuffed full of delish filling, not overly sweet and full of flavor. The wonton wrapping was flaky and crispy, not overwhelming. So good. And last, when I got home I went for the dumplings and y'all- I can't. They were the BEST! The filling was so good - tasty but also dense and filling. The dipping sauce was SO GOOD!!! So, huge fan. I wish I lived closer, but I'll remember this when I come to the city! read more

This review is for the takeout section. My hubby likes the duck here so anytime we are in St Louis we have to pick some up. There are duck places in Kansas City and Wichita but from his experiences this STL place is the best in the midwest, when you can't get any duck from San Jose, CA. The whole duck is $17 and half $9, if you order a lot we learned this trip you should call in to order and they cook 6 ducks at a time. We also got roasted pig about 4.85lbs was like $39, personally not my favorite because eating it alone with no rice is quite salty for me, but with rice can be good. For those who like the crunchiness of the roasted pig skin this is the pig for you. They also have other dim sum type foods you can order and sucks I didn't see any egg tarts which I wanted to try theirs, but I did get some deep fried pork dumplings (aka Football) which although greasy had the right amount of sweet and salty. I liked their big walnut cookie, it is sweet crumbly and yummy. read more

I've order here before the general Tso chicken is always good. Sadly this time I ordered there pineapple and chicken fried rice which did not have any seasoning, egg or normal fried rice vegetable in it. It was literally rice with chicken and vegetables placed on top. No soy sauce or anything. It tasted like they boiled everything in vegetable broth including the pineapple and chicken. I ended up taking the vegetables out and using the rice to make my own at home. The fried rice I received Didn't even look like it was fried in any way. I'm not upset about what they put in the dish just if your going to advertise something as fried rice please actually fry it. I also ordered there roasted duck which was dry and the skin was chewy not crispy. read more
