I've been wanting to try Win Son for a very long time but it was always in Brooklyn and I wasn't willing to make the trip out for that. I was excited to hear it made its way to the East Village but still never got around visiting. Well, I finally decided to order delivery from them today. Sadly, disappointed to be honest. This place is a 3.5 at best. The BEC scallion pancake was bland. It needed the dipping sauce badly. I had a lot of hopes for the pork fan tuan but it was dry. The rou bao is basically a pork fried dumpling but flattened. You can get the dumplings that taste just like it for $5 for 15 elsewhere. There only thing actually good was the San Bei Ji Chopped Cheese. Even the fries that came with it were mediocre. I will probably not be revisiting these guys again. I'm glad I never went to Brooklyn for it. read more

I've avoided Win Son's bread house off-shoots ever since my lackluster brunch experience at the original BK restaurant years ago. But cue one warm summer night. We were in the area and craving glucose, and if you know this area, you know quality dessert spots aren't exactly in abundance. Win Son Bakery was not only open late, but had the kind of casual ample seating any cafe should have. So in we went. The Chocolate Bolo Bao won't impress my Taiwanese relatives, but it'll at least get an A for effort (and in Asian culture, ANY A is cause for celebration). I could've used more chocolate filling, but the crumb-y outer shell was a good tribute to the original pineapple version. The Corn Ice-Cream, on the other hand, should be sold in pints, maybe gallons...hell why not tanks? I'll take one tank of ice-cream, please! Yeah, I know, it's corny to say, but I loved cooling down with its creamy sweetness. It was a-maize-ing. These corn jokes doing it for ya? Will be back to sample more Taiwanese fusion-ized bread things. read more

Food is good! Gets super busy so prepare to wait a bit. Fan Tuan is really yummy and so are the pastries. The BEC scallion pancakes is a bit oily for me and overhyped but I think there are better items on the menu! Lots of seating indoor and outdoor too. read more

Mannn I ordered the wrong thing. I came here for a late lunch hungry and ready to eat whatever but shortly after I got my food I got a major fomo. I wish I got the scallion pancake and fan tuan instead. I ordered the Big Chicken Box (I'd rate it 2/5) in five spice. I think the name got me.. but after a bite or two regrets came flowing in. The chicken is insanely salty and greasy, same with the fries.. I only ate one piece and lost my appetite. The only thing I like about it is that it reminds me of popcorn chicken I used to order at Tapioca Express - I'm sure it's just the same seasoning. And mochi donut (1/5)!! Why do people like it? With every bite it feels like you're putting a spoon full of sugar in your mouth. The oil it was fried in was old and gave an aftertaste + inside tasted undercooked. I'm aware that it's mochi and supposed to be chewy but this was not that texture. It was more of when pancake dough isn't cooked through. I took three bites, got sugar all over my clothes and left the rest. If you know me, I would never leave a donut unfinished. Two things were around $30 and I absolutely don't think it was worth it. read more

Came through this place looking for a savory bite for breakfast on a drizzly day. You order at the counter, they give you a number, and bring it out to you. I got the fan tuan which was texturally interesting with the crunch of the you tiao, grit of the pork sung and then smooth, jelly of the egg. I was a bit disappointed in its size for the price. The place was cute and there were small tables to setup to get some work or studying done. If I didn't have to haul my stuff across the city for the rest of the day, their seasonal special of fig and nian gao baked good looked yummy, but didn't look like it would travel well. read more

We'd heard all the buzz about the scallion pancakes at Win Son Bakery, so we had to stop by. We came on a busy Saturday morning during peak brunch hours, and as expected, seating was tough to come by both inside and outside. Since it was a casual setting, after waiting about 20 minutes for our order, we ended up taking everything to a nearby park to enjoy. We ordered the Egg and Cheese Scallion Pancake, a Pork Fan Tuan, and a Matcha Latte with oat milk. The egg and cheese scallion pancake was a bit underwhelming. I was expecting it to be flakier and crispier, but it leaned more soft than crunchy. It came with a tangy dipping sauce, though I didn't feel the tang really complemented the egg and cheese as well compared to some other alternatives they could have tried. The filling itself could have used more balance, the cheese was concentrated at the beginning of the scallion pancake and wasn't evenly distributed, leaving the rest of the bite a little flat in flavor. The matcha latte was also not my favorite, it lacked the concentrated, earthy matcha flavor I'm used to, and came across a bit diluted. The Pork Fan Tuan, however, was the star of the show. This rice roll was filled with pork floss and had a crispy, crunchy middle (possibly their version of a chicharrón?). The saltiness of the pork floss paired beautifully with the sticky rice, making for a really satisfying and unique bite. I'd highly recommend anyone visiting Win Son Bakery to grab one of these. Overall, while the scallion pancake and matcha didn't quite meet expectations, the Fan Tuan alone made the visit worthwhile. read more

Stopped into Win Son Bakery and tried a mix of their fusion items: the bacon, egg & cheese in a scallion pancake ($16), the San Beiji "3 Cup Chicken" chopped cheese ($21), custard toast ($6), and two King's Oolong teas ($8 total). My bill came out to $55.52. The bacon, egg & cheese was pretty ordinary -- just a typical BEC with a scallion pancake swap, not much to justify the price. The San Beiji chopped cheese had the right flavor notes from the 3 cup chicken, but the execution felt sloppy and fell apart quickly. The custard toast was lightly sweet but extremely dry, while the teas were the highlight -- clean, refreshing, and well-brewed. For $55+, the cost felt extremely steep for what was essentially greasy fusion. Creative concept, but the value and execution didn't live up to the hype. read more

I've been hearing about Win Son and do think you should come test it out yourself before making any judgements about it. They have unique items you wouldn't get at other places (ex. Fan Tuan rice roll, five spice latte) and their seating system is quite efficient (you order and than join a queue for a seat which goes by pretty quickly). I think the hype of watching them online made me expect the food to be life changing and while it was good, I'm not sure how William I am to go out of my way for it. The BEC scallion pancake was fine, but I've had other scallion sandwiches I've enjoyed more. I think the sauce itself didn't compliment it as much as it could've. The toast was not memorable for me. I did really enjoy the fan tuan and would return for that. I didn't expect there to be a crunch from the pork floss but it really added a nice texture to it. Lowkey wonder if it'd be helped with by mayo but not sure. Also enjoyed the black sesame latte. They have a lot of other sandwiches and menu items that look good so I do want to come back and try more!!!! read more

Their mochi rice donut may be the best donut in the world. Great food too. Love the pork fan-Tuan and chicken sandwich.

I saw so many reviews of this place that I to add it to my itinerary. The interior and ambiance was very cute. There were lots of people seating inside and outside so I can tell it was one of the more popular brunch spots. The service was standard. Food & Drinks - Pork Fan Tuan - this was something I saw that everyone was getting, so I had to try it. And was also my first time having a fan tuan. I really enjoyed this and was my favorite thing I ate. I rlly love how the pork floss wasn't overly sweet and it complimented the soy based flavor. I also really loved whatever the crunchy element inside the middle that gives it another depth of flavors. The rice was perfectly soft and pillow egg inside a highly recommend to get this! Scallion Egg and cheese - Overall this was good but not amazing as the fan tuan. I think I was expecting more of a scallion flavor, but the overall flavors worked well in combination. I think the crepe could be a bit more thinner than I like but what worked very well is the sauce. The sauce tied everything together. Overall I'd get this again. Matcha Latte & Jasmine Mango - both drinks were a miss for me. Both of it I felt like was lacking any mango or matcha flavor. Like I couldn't taste any of the tea flavor and the other flavors were very faint. Overall, I'd come back here again to try other Scallion pancake options and ofc that fan tuan again. Shoutout to the packaging, it was packed very cute! read more

Gotta wait in line to secure your order and a spot tor dine in, but it is fast moving. Based on what drew us to Win Son and taking the staff's recommendation, we ended up with: - Shrimp Scallion Pancake (4/5 for me) - the unique shrimp combo made this a hearty wrap. The egg, cheese, shrimp cakes, and the flaky scallion pancake tasted exactly what it sounded like. A 5/5 for my fiancé. - Pork Fan Tuan (5/5) - this was supper fun and texturally such a delight. The rice was sticky, just like the kind you get with mango sticky rice, and the pork floss was crispy and crunchy, while the egg served as a fab neutralizer. Absolutely loved this. Sleeper hit! read more

I had a dinner in the nearby so I only stopped in to try the custard toast for dessert! The bakery is cute and modern with a good amount of seating inside. They have creative Taiwanese American pastries and dishes. The custard toast was pretty good, not too sweet and I liked that it was brûléed. It didn't blow me away but it was a solid dessert. Will definitely have to come back to try their BEC scallion pancake! read more

Came to Wn Son on a Saturday around lunchtime-- I was expecting there to be a longer line, but it only took around 10-15 mins to place our order. The ordering experience was seamless. There's a line to order and another line afterwards to be seated. The system worked well and there wasn't any stress to find seating. The restaurant is fairly large as well! Unfortunately, the food was pretty mediocre. The BEC Scallion Pancake was super greasy and heavy. It was by no means bad, but since it is so popular, I was expecting more of a wow factor. The Wintermelon Milk Tea also tasted a bit watered down. I thiiiinkkkk it was a soy milk base that was super fragrant and clean tasting. Definitely a try-once kind of place. I'm glad I got to try to see what the hype was about but wouldn't return. read more

The place was filled with lively conversation and a small line to order. Staff was friendly and you receive a number after ordering and find a table. Self serve water and utensils on the side as well as takeout boxes. The food came out hot and fresh ! The sauce in the Jui cai scallion pancakes was so delicious and the fusion of flavors went so well. The fantuan was smaller than I was expecting but honestly by that point I was so full it was perfect. So flavorful and I'm not sure if it was some kind of mini Chinese donut or double fried porksung or what but there was a great crunch texture in the center. Def recommend this place !! They also serve beer !! read more

The scallion BEC is honestly a skip. It's just not that good. I tasted 0 scallion pancake. Also it's just so salty and oily. Maybe if I had a more tangy sauce. Honestly the highlight was the fan tuan. Didn't think I'd be that big of a fan but tbh it was really good. I would only get that again. And oddly enough the scallion flavor in that was way better. The mochi donut was good but nothing insane. It was just a sugar donut with good fried flavor and texture. Maybe if there was a diff flavor. Lastly I got the black sesame latte and it wasn't bad. It was just very small and not a super strong sesame flavor. Honestly it had good coffee flavor tho. Could have a line but moved fairly fast. Inside is nice and has seating but apparently you're not allowed to use laptops inside! read more

I loved everything I've tried at Win Son Bakery. It is usually busy on a weekend, but the line goes fast to order. After you order, there's also usually a wait to get a table as well. This is everything we got, ranked in order from favorite to least favorite. -Pork bian dang: The pork was so flavorful and tender, the rice soaked up the sauce, and the egg was perfectly jammy. Every bite of this was delicious, and you can choose between two different types of side salads. One of my favorite things I've eaten recently. -Shrimp milk bun: The shrimp burger was nice and thick, and the milk bun was soft and complimented the shrimp well. The sauce in this burger was delicious too. It is quite messy to eat though. -Rice noodles: These were a fun dish to try. The noodles are like thin rice noodles that are rolled into nugget sized noodles. They're supple and chewy and packed with flavor. -Pinenut sun cake: I love sun cakes and felt like a classic Taiwanese sun cake is better than this. It had a nice caramelization. It reminded me more of a butterfly cookie. I would probably try some other pastry next time. The cashier said his favorite are the bolo buns which looked good! Overall, everything we ordered was delicious and I would get everything again, except for the pastry. read more

Viral bakery spot that's been getting a lot of Internet traction featuring Taiwanese inspired items- overall imo only the scallion pancakes are worth the hype, the other ones are just okay...not worth the price Best items: 1. Bacon egg and cheese scallion pancake- THE BEST (must get); godly with the house special sauce 2. San beiji chopped cheese scallion pancake- also very good, more oily and meaty than the BEC, but very flavorful Mid Items: 1. Rou Bao- decent but nothing special 2. Millet mochi donut - good (soft and fluffy), but doesn't stand out vs other donut places Can skip: 1. Pork fan tuan - too much rice, and bland, no flavors or sauce ( not even comparable to the fan Tuan I grew up with in Asia) 2. Lu rou Bao- SO DRY- literally just Lu rou fan wrapped in a fried bun; also a lot more bun than meat :/ Overall- scallion pancakes are def worth the hype! read more

Good atmosphere, good staff, and decent food, but buyer beware... INSANELY OVERPRICED! I ordered a banana tart and a caramel jujube iced latte, IT CAME OUT TO $17! For the tart I somewhat understand the price, but the coffee is insanely small and costs $8. I thought it would've been a lot bigger for such a price but was let down. I understand inflation but $17 for only two items which are quite small, this is robbery. read more

Came here on a weekend afternoon looking for a pre-dinner snack. Space is pretty big and there's also outdoor seating. No laptops allowed policy though based on some signs. At any rate, got the veggie fan tuan and jiu cai scallion pancake. The veggie fan tuan I thought was pretty underwhelming. I do think you miss something from swapping out the pork floss for the tofu, but also I was hoping for a bit more crunch. The scallion pancake was good. And the havarti cheese was nice. The order came with a mayo-based sauce which was nice. Wasn't sure which order the sauce came with, but I'll say I was really wishing there was chili oil provided with our order. I've had a dish with chili oil at their Brooklyn location and it was delicious. Also order came out to be $20 or so ($25 with tip which after thinking about how everything is self-service here I kind of regret) which felt pretty steep, but I guess the area rent can't be cheap. All-in-all, friendly staff, good seating, and solid food options. Lil on the pricey side, but I'd recommend it if you're craving a snack or a quick drink looking to catch up with a friend or a casual meal. Bit on the pricey side, but what isn't in lower Manhattan? read more

I think Win Son is a very solid 4 star bakery and cafe. It's a Taiwanese-American fusion spot with yummy scallion pancake sandwiches, and very good espresso based drinks. It feel very cool and bright inside, with lots of happy plants and good music playing (electric relaxation ). I got the egg and cheese scallion pancake, and a xiao guai guai (cortado). The pancake was pretty expensive, at $15, and not too big. However it tasted really good- not greasy as I feared but nice and chewy, with fluffy eggs and cheese inside the pocket. The hot sauce that comes with it is a game changer... it isn't too spicy, and gives the pancake a delicious burst of flavor. The xiao guai guai was very well made; smooth, creamy, and slightly bitter in the perfect way. I can't speak to the quality of their pastries, but many people seemed to be getting a sweet treat with their scallion pancake or fan tuan. If I come back I'll definitely try out the mochi donut or pine nut sun cookie! read more

The food was delicious, especially the Pork Fan Tuan. The rice had the perfect texture--similar to mango sticky rice--and the crispy pork inside was a great addition. There was egg as well, which brought everything together perfectly. If you visit, you have to try the black sesame latte. It was incredible and made to perfection. Although it's a bit pricey at $8, I definitely think it's worth it. I also ordered the BEC scallion pancake, which was excellent. It came with a ginger deluxe dipping sauce, but honestly, it was delicious even without it. The pancake arrived warm and crispy--super tasty. I really liked the interior, too. There are plenty of tables, plus side areas on both ends of the dining area where you'll find to-go boxes, utensils, napkins, and water--super convenient and a great touch. Note: I came early in the morning when it wasn't busy (no line at all), and I thought it might be a cute spot to get some work done. However, after asking for the WiFi password, I learned that laptops aren't allowed here. So if you're looking for a place to work, it's better to check out a nearby park or library instead. Great place to go and have a nice and quick meal though! read more

Heard a lot about win son so I had to check it out as a fan of taiwanese breakfast. I really enjoyed their fan tuan, the you tiao inside was crispy and crunchy- as it should be! Executed very well. The rice was nice and chewy, the pork was savory, and the addition of the eggs made for a nice protein-ed start to the day. I would definitely order this again. The tian doujiang was refreshing and perfect. Good soymilk flavor. Not too sweet. It came with a fresh you tiao which was tasty when dipped. The rest of the items I tried were pretty subpar unfortunately. I tried the side scallion pancake as I didn't think I could eat an entire sandwich (and also heard they were a bit greasy). Unfortunately the pancake was pretty hard and it had an unpleasant flavor imo that was oddly shrimpy. The chili oil dip it came with was tasty though. The pancake itself wasn't very flavorful. The millet mochi donut was pretty much like a butter mochi- very chewy texture. A bit dense, very heavy feeling and greasy. The flavor was alright. read more

I had a pretty good experience here! Despite coming on a Saturday afternoon, I was able to order, get a seat, and dine in within 45 minutes. There's a single stall bathroom straight in the back. There was a line out the door when I got there but it moved fast. The longest time I had to wait was for a table. After you order, you stand in a different line for a table with your number. J didn't realize there was a dine in component here with servers bringing your order and giving you water. So tip your servers! There are 2 areas where you can get utensils, napkins, and hot s I got the bacon scallion pancake ($17.42 with tax). It came with this orange sauce that I really enjoyed. I don't know what it was to be honest but I really liked it. I also got hot sauce to dip it in. I would say that it's a solid sandwich (?), but not worth $17. I love scallion pancake anything so that's why I enjoyed it. read more

Win Son continues to serve things that surprise me in flavor and innovation.

This bakery in the heart of NYC's East Village is a must try and for many good reasons! The millet mochi donut (go) had a great texture with a slight chewiness and dusted with ginger, cinnamon and cardamom. It also paired nicely with the hot mango milk tea with a nice creamy foamy top. One thing that was shopping deelish was the scallion pancakes. They were cooked to crispy perfection and my wife said it reminded her of the kind she used to have in Hong Kong as a child. The chili crisp hot sauce was irresistible for dipping the pancakes into! The menu has so many unique dishes with some with an Asian twist and will definitely put this place into our rotation on future visits! The vibe and ambiance was lively with each table filled at lunch time but the turnaround is quick and the servers have it down to a "t" to make sure you're seated when a spot opens up. read more

4.8 STARS So happy that Win Son finally opened a location in the city! Since I visit out of state a few times a year, it's somehow out of the way to trek all the way to Brooklyn. This is a much easier location that is close to a lot of other cool spots. Vibes= 5/5. I came here at around 3 pm on a weekday and was surprised to see it was full. Plenty of seating so that wasn't a problem. I love the bright and clean interiors. Just an overall vibey atmosphere! I also wanted to commend the to-go area on the side where you can grab a box and bag if in case you want to take leftovers. Food=5/5! As amazing as I thought they would be. They have so many options of both traditional and modernized Taiwanese items like scallion pancakes, pastries that I'm also impressed were still available fresh in the afternoon, etc. The sweetened soy milk I had was so delicious and is very similar to authentic ones in Taiwan. The chicken wings were delicious as well. read more

I was finally able to head to the much hyped Win Son Bakery. And it delivered. Although the line was very long--out the door--the establishment worked relatively fast and the manner in which it is very impressive. First you order your food after being in line, then you are assigned a number there is a separate line for tables. This avoids situations where a one person takes over a table while the other waits to order food. Very efficient and fair. I had the scallions pancake breakfast burrito and it was so good. The scallion was so flavorful and it complemented the eggs and bacon so well. Especially with the sauce. The star of the show, however, was the mochi donut. Wow. It was truly the best donut I have ever had. It had a cotton candy like texture to it when chewing. So unique! This is great spot for brunch with friends and you are guaranteed a great time with their amazing food. 5/5. read more

Made the trip to Win Son on a Monday afternoon after hearing so much about it! The line was short and we were lucky to find a table immediately after ordering. The workers were so kind and helpful the whole time. We ordered the egg and cheese scallion pancake, pork fan tuan, and the vanilla cream bun. The scallion pancake was my favorite, although the sauce is slightly overpowering. Next time I would add the bacon. The fan tuan was my sisters favorite. The pork is sweet, salty, and crispy! It balances perfectly with the chewy rice. We also tried the vanilla cream bun which was absolutely stuffed with custardy vanilla bean filling. The bun itself was soft and not overly sweet but it just wasn't an item we'd order again. Would love to visit again to try different things! I'm not sure how I'd feel if we had to wait in a very long line or wait for a table like I've read. read more

I stopped by to visit my friend Carter (who is a great chef and works for Win Son), and ended up finding one of my favorite bakeries. I highly recommend the bolo bao, banana tart, and jasmine mango milk tea. The texture of the pastries is perfect and the jasmine mango milk tea is amazing for a hot day. Additionally, the space is really nice, and has an amazing interior, (it is also an amazing place to watch the world cup). I would definitely recommend coming here! read more

I am so glad I did not order the scallion pancake sandwich after reading the reviews - instead, the hitter here is the fan tuan! It is actually to die for - the rice has the perfect sticky texture with the crunch from the you tiao and the savory fun texture of the pork floss. We also really enjoyed the snow pea salad and shrimp turnip cake. This location has a lot of seats! And we had a wait on a Sunday around noon but it was not long at all. read more

I've been to the original location a couple of times and really enjoyed the food every time I've been, but the location and lines meant that I rarely go. I have eagerly awaited the opening of this new location in East Village and went during their first week. The space itself is very open and bright, making it feel very welcoming, though laptops are not allowed and there's no WiFi. I think they still have some kinks to work out with the ordering because I waited ~15 minutes after ordering just to get a couple of pastries (they didn't require reheating). But I'll say even with the extra wait, the food is worth it! The red date cake is a MUST TRY -- I didn't try this until my third visit but since then I've always gotten it. The mochi donut has great taste and texture. The fan tuan is a delicious savoury snack if you're looking for something other than a pastry. The only "miss" that I had here was the custard toast (it's the only thing I managed to get a photo before it got completely devoured), I thought it was too bready and had not enough custard. read more

I tried a bunch of different menu items after seeing hype around this spot and left thinking that some menu items were better than others. For drinks, I tried both the Mango Jasmine Tea and the Alishan High Mtn, both of which I thought were relatively weak (even after seeping the Alishan for a while). For the food items, my favorites by far were the fantuan and the custard toast - I would recommend these to anyone trying this spot. Unfortunately those are the only two items i would recommend - the scallion pancake had the texture of a cracker than an actual scallion pancake and I didn't really care for their egg and bacon scallion pancake sandwich, which is supposedly their signature item. Service was exceptionally nice and helpful and I did enjoy the fantuan and custard toast which is why I rate this spot as a 4 star instead of lower. However I personally wouldn't want the other menu items again. read more

Went here on a Sunday around noon and there was a line outside the door. From my understanding, their lines are consistently out the door, but it moved fairly quickly for me. They are very organized in terms of seating so we were sat before we got our food which was nice. The food was pretty good, but both dishes we ordered were walking the line of being too salty. The scallion pancake for the BEC scallion pancake could have been more crispy. The imperial glaze chicken box was also very good and saucy, but the fries were the star of that dish. The sauce for both the fries and the scallion pancake was also very good. It was a tangy aioli. I had the 5 spice latte and didn't really like it. It wasn't very sweet and this spice is used primarily on meats so it reminded me of savory dishes. I'd come here again to try some of their pastries. I would definitely try ordering on the app to order ahead or depending on the line because I checked the to-go app and it showed that I could get the food within 20 minutes. read more

I was walking by when I realize this is the bakery from Williamsburg. As a Taiwanese American, I appreciate how the owners have highlighted the cuisine and based on the reviews I was super excited to try. Since we were on our way to movie theater, we decided to take out. Upon going into the bakery, the place is very busy though the line moved fast to order. The place is clean, new-ish and diner like. We decided to order BEC Scallion pancake & Lou rou Bao. The wait was about 10 minutes after order then receipt of food. After 20 minutes arriving at our destination we ate our takeout. While the Lou rou Bao was delicious, it was greasy. The BEC sandwich lacked salt and do was bland than I thought. Unfortunately I had greater expectations. I will not go out of the way to try again.
