This place is pretty good for some Hong Kong baked goods. I went in recently to get a few for lunch and picked up a couple pork buns and a ham and egg bun. Wanted to get a hot dog bun too, but they didn't have any made at the time. I thought the pork bun had too much bun and not enough pork. But the bun seemed pretty standard taste-wise, so nothing surprisingly amazing. The ham and egg bun seemed different to me. Usually when I get this bun, the egg is usually made like an omelette. After biting into it I was surprised to see that it wasn't an omelette, it was just a standard cooked egg with the egg whites on the outside and the yolk in the middle. I was weirdly amazed by that and enjoyed that bun quite a big. It was like a Chinese Egg McMuffin!!!!....without the cheese.... and with sweet bun instead of english muffins. It was simple and amazing. The price of these buns tend to be less than $2 each which I guess is alright. Maybe I'm used to seeing them cheaper, but I guess the price is pretty reasonable. These still don't really compare with the ones up in Vancouver B.C., but it's a good enough local substitute if you're craving Hong Kong pastries. read more

REVIEW SOLELY ON HONG KONG EGG TARTS and DURIAN PASTRY. Came here to try their egg tarts...they only had three left so we got all of them! We could not wait to try them out so we sat inside this little bakery and stuffed our faces. The verdict was a little disappointing. Not sure if the egg tarts were just not fresh enough since it was around 8:30pm at night, .... or the egg tarts were just not good enough. The filling was okay, not extremely sweet but not too flavorful either. The crust was meh...kind of doughy as I was expecting flaky crusted egg tarts. We also got a durian pastry. The durian inside was not fresh durian, but a process durian paste. Mehhhhhh!!!! They had a wide variety of other pastries that looked pretty good so maybe next time I will try something else. read more

The second stop in my search for a quality Chinese bakery that day, I was both relieved and disappointed that they mostly have a different selection of goods from Mon Hei. Relieved because it meant not having to decide between two supposedly great bakeries, but then disappointed because Yummy House didn't impress me that much. Having bought a few too many items at Mon Hei already, I only picked up a custard fruit tart and two BBQ pork buns here. The fruit tart was quite tasty, but I wish it was larger, and had more fruit, both in terms of quantity and variety. The BBQ pork buns were slightly disappointing, mostly being empty and bready, lacking in actual meat filling. My standard for BBQ pork buns is probably too high though, having grown up on the amazing BBQ pork buns of this one store down in Southern California that, unfortunately, closed or moved years ago. Prices are okay, and the owner is friendly, and they take credit! I'll have to nab one of the egg tarts next time, since I mistook Mon Hei for the bakery that had the Portuguese-style egg tarts. Edit (08/30/09): Not changing my rating, so adding more comments here. Popped in again today to try out one of their egg tarts and cream puffs. Either I missed them again, or people are confused about what Portuguese-style egg tarts really are, because I only saw the regular ones. Slightly better than Mon Hei's, but still quite sub-par. Their custard cream puff is good though: they do custard quite well, so I'll probably stick to that from now on. read more

An OK place to go get some bakery items. The Mocha and Green Tea cakes are a good blend of subtle flavor and moistness. I also usually order the BBQ pork bun, the egg tart, plus the aforementioned cakes. Not bad but not the best. Contrary to some of the comments that I read, the service was good and friendly! Quite surprised at some five star ratings. My take on this is that those reviewers haven't experienced the real deal in CA, NY and TX areas. Maybe a really good sponge cake, which I haven't tried yet will bump this a star? Not bad though. read more

Best spot in Seattle for HK style pastries. Favorites that we keep coming back for : sponge cakes, egg tarts, cocnut bun (not the coconut cream but the original), and custard buns. Make sure to go after 11 if you want some fresh sponge cakes! The Chinese style cakes are also a crowd pleaser for special occasions. read more

Quality of baked goods is only average. I went in the afternoon and some of the buns definitely didn't seem so fresh anymore. I noticed their egg tarts are made with an easy shortbread-like crust rather than the flakey (lots of work to make) crust. There was an acceptable ratio of filling to bread in the two stuffed buns I purchased from this visit. Plus one star for being one of the few Chinese bakeries in the ID that accepts cards. Metered parking or pay lots available in the area. read more

This is my go-to bakery for asian cake!! They are the best and the owners are so nice! From birthday cakes, random pastry cravings, to our wedding cake, I'll never go anywhere else. The pastries are so fresh and when you walk in to the place it smells delicious. The price is very fair for everything you're getting and they have pre made cakes in their cooler display so if you need a last minute cake you can always count on them, unless you're coming in 30 minutes before close then prob not lol. read more

Yummy House Bakery - They made our wedding cake and accommodated to everything we wanted! They even deliver and set it up perfectly. - Bakeries Near Me - Seattle, Washington

A casual bakery with new stuff always coming out of the oven. Family owned and operated warmth. The owner always chats with me asking me about my family. I usually get the hot dog bun, egg & ham bun, and their Strawberry/Kiwi cake(LOVE IT!). They keep their freshness high, some bakeries sell overnight crap, THEY DON'T. They quickly move the old stuff into the day old section at discounted price above the counter. Of all the bakeries in Chinatown, I find this place with the most sense of responsibility to the customers. I salute them. It's a great place to go after school or after a hard days work to enjoy some coffee and a nice pastry or cake before going home and facing the annoying girlfriend who can't cook. Ummm, I'm not talking about myself of course :) read more

For my grandma's birthday dinner party with an estimated number of 80 guests, I purchased a full sheet cake and a 1/4 sheet cake at the recommendation of the bakery. I think the person who helped me was the owner because I see her everytime I go, but I'm not positive. I bought this much cake because I'm a huge fan of chinese cake and I always prefer more than not enough. Well, it turned out that there were only 70 guests and after a 10 course chinese dinner, there wasn't much room for cake. Even though I ate two slices myself and pawned a hugh slice off on a wide-eyed kid, there was more than 1/4 of the sheet cake left and we hadn't even touched the 1/4 sheet cake that I had gotten in addition to the full sheet. The remainder of the full sheet cake went home with my cousins who are huge fans of cake and the 1/4 sheet was sent home with my grandma who lives in a nursing home. My mom, who visited her the next day, said there was no cake left the following day. Lessons from this story? The cake they make here is good! Sometimes, you can have too much cake, but it's so good that people will take it home and eat it for you. After a 10 course dinner, people can't really eat a lot of cake (with some exceptions -- like me), so a full sheet would be plenty for 100. Side notes for those who are pondering coming to this bakery: 1) The chinese cake with fresh fruit is good. 2) The tiramisu cheese cake is good. A little bit sweeter than chinese cake, but tasty. Less of a coffee flavor compared to other tiramisu I have had though. 3) The chinese cake with mango is good, although a bit difficult to cut without messing up the cake a bit because of all the mango slices decorating the outside of the cake. 4) I'm also a big fan of the day old buns that others have mentioned. For a mere $3, they give you 5 buns. Although a day old, they're still good for a few more days. read more

Yummy House Bakery sure delivered on my wedding cake! My (now) husband and I wanted a simple and delicious HK style fruit cake for our wedding! We researched and consulted several different bakeries in Chinatown, Redmond, and Beacon Hill for pricing and offerings for our March wedding. Either too expensive, old-fashioned, or did not have the right fruits available. At Yummy House Bakery, I consulted with Kavin on my cake and he was more than gracious to accommodate my concerns and fruit choices! I felt the whole consultation was very transparent and honest as far as cost, deliverables, and size. The size estimate was spot on! We actually had enough cake for all of our guests and were able to take home half of the top tier to enjoy after the wedding chaos! Yummy! They safely delivered my cake to Golden Gardens in Ballard on time and the execution of my decor requests were spot on! I got so many compliments on the mango and strawberry cake during the wedding! Tons of foodie friends taking pictures of the cake itself! For the price, quality, and the modern designs that Yummy House offers, there's really no other choice in Seattle! KUDOS!!! Tip for Brides: Please bring a copy of your desired design to Yummy House Cafe during final payment and another copy to the reception for your wedding coordinator. We had a small miscommunication on the design with another employee while Kavin was not there, but Kavin reached out to me later and we straightened the design out through text photos and phone. Kavin or Sam should be the main points of contact for all wedding cake pricing and design needs. If they're not there, make an appt. and come back when they are. read more

Luckily, this place was open late. It's a no frills bakery, but it had a case full of delicious cakes and pastries. I had a slice of Black Forest cake and my partner had a tiramisu cheesecake slice. These were extremely moist and light. The Black Forest was the consistency of tiramisu and had a nice cherry layer. I can't remember what the rest of the gang got but everyone was happy. I highly recommend! read more

Oh lala! The green tea fresh cake here is such a treat! I've yet to see anything like it, and it has the perfect amount of green tea flavor. They also have a nice selection of cake varieties sold by the slice - among these is a Tiramisu Cheesecake which my friend enjoyed. This bakery seems pretty clean, and is open relatively late. The lady at the counter was very nice (and she even let me slide on not having 3 cents - she gave me back a dollar change instead of 97 cents). Overall, an enjoyable experience! read more

Yummy House is located inside the Uwajimaya Food Court. We got: - Sweet Bun/roll (also called pineapple bun - or "bo lo bao" in Cantonese): 5 stars AND it's cheap! - Butter Chocolate Cake: 3 stars... the icing was kind of stiff, and it just seemed like the slice I got had been sitting there for a while -- not exactly stale, but not super fresh either. read more

I tried their fruit cake and their napolean. The napoleon was okay, I prefer the american or italian version. but the fruit cake was good. Just like any Asian bakery though, I love the fruit cakes. Mm, I am craving that right now. Gosh, such a weakling. But the prices are about $2.95 for a slice of cake, and up, depending. Otherwise, whole cakes are average about $25-$30 for a round or 1/4 sheet. Usually fruit cakes and cakes that Asian bakeries make are expensive. However, they are delicious as heck. :) Great bakery items as well on assorted breads and sweets. read more

I went here to grab some pastries but ended up just getting the chocolate dipped butter cookie ($1.50). 4 stars for the cookie! It was crunchy, buttery, and the chocolate made it that much better! Overall...3 stars. I was really grossed out when I heard someone clipping nails behind the counter. :( read more

It's your typical Chinatown bakery. They had everything I normally go for at reasonable prices. I was there to pick up some buns for a hike the next day. I got the BBQ pork bun and the hot dog bun. I'd suggest eating them the same day though - when I had the buns the next day, the bread was dry and not very soft and pillowy like I expected. The service is quick - you pick your stuff, you pay and you're out of there. They also offer coffee beverages and boba drinks. They had some fresh strawberry smoothies on ice by the register so I bought one. Very refreshing, you can tell they used fresh strawberries. read more

It's a good location for Hong Kong style bread and buns. I love their pineapple bun with BBQ pork in it. Had one today in the morning and it was fresh just came out from the oven! So SO good when it's still warm and crispy! But not so much for the milk tea cause it tasted a bit funny. Overall a always go to place if I ever need breakfast in Chinatown! read more

I came with friends to the Uwajimaya Street Festival and stopped by this bakery. Food bought: - egg tart : 5/5 - pretty good, got my egg tart craving satisfied so that's good - Lotus bread: 4/5 - It was pretty good as well, the filling reminded me of Lotus moon cake filling I would come back to satisfy my Asian bakery cravings. read more

If you are old school Seattle, you'll know that my go-to ID bakery was - once upon a time - Mon Hei... until they closed a few years ago. Back then I never ventured south to look for another bakery. Well, I've found my go-to replacement, which I was surprised to find has been open for twenty-six years! Not only does Yummy House have delicious baked baos, they also have chicken tail buns (aka coconut buns), egg tarts, and a variety of sweet and savory baked goodness. I also love the enthusiasm and welcoming nature of the counter person who I spoke with the last time I was in. This is old school Seattle at its finest. Please don't close, Yummy House! I have no other backup bakery! read more

I've bought a few pastries twice a year. And I never learn my lesson. I keep telling myself that I won't come back because the filling inside the pastry is inadequate. I bought a BBQ bun and a ham/cheese bun. Both barely had any filling. When I say barely, I mean half of the inside is filled with any filling. I've had similar buns at other bakeries that provided a lot of filling. I keep coming back because I think it would get better, but it never does. Due to the convenient location (near a big paid parking lot), I end up coming to Yummy. There are other bakeries near Yummy. read more

Yummy House Bakery made my three tiered wedding cake and it was amazing (see picture uploaded)! I was super nervous at first when ordering my wedding cake from an asian bakery as I wasn't sure how reliable they would be. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy the process was. We basically walked in one day and got a few slices of flavors we were interested in. They took our order right then and there and we put down a deposit. Later we went back like a month before the wedding to finalize the tier flavors and size of the cake and paid the rest off. Our design was super simple but we picked a different flavor for each tier and the total ended up being around $400 to feed around 90 guests including tax and delivery fee to Woodinville. Amazing price! On the day of the event, the cake looked perfect and the person delivering the cake was able to help put on the cake toppers and coordinate with the florist for the final touches. Only advice would be to make sure that you call the week of the wedding to confirm everything. I had to text one of the bakers a picture of my cake since they still didn't know my design the week of the wedding. It is also helpful to have someone who can speak cantonese as this is the dialect most of the bakers/owners speak fluently :) read more

Disappointed that a local pastry shop went out of business, I stopped by Yummy House for the first time to get some Cantonese pastry buns as an afternoon snack. Their buns were on one side of the shop, while the counter side was showcasing their cake slices. I decided to get a milk cream w/ cocunut bun and pineapple bun (they called it sweet bun). They were made really well. I would advise on paying with cash since they have the "typical" small shop, 50 cent charge for purchases under $5 on credit/debit cards. Knowing that there money-maker was on the dessert cakes, I will try that next! read more

I never came here pre covid, so take my review with a grain of salt. When I came here, the windows were completely boarded up and there were only 2 semi filled counters with baked goods to choose from. The whole place was pretty dark because of the boarded up windows and no one else was there when I went. I will say they did a good job with covid precautions. I bought an egg tart, cocktail bun, and hotdog bun. I don't know if I came on an off day, but the baked goods didn't taste very fresh and I was a little disappointed by their cocktail bun. Their egg tart was very good though. I felt like my overall experience was just ok, but I'll be back to give it another try! read more

Just drove from up north to Yummy House so I could order a fruit cake for a birthday party happening this Saturday. I arrived at 7:18 PM and opened the door and the lights were off, everything taken down. The girl in the back of the kitchen yelled we're closed. Hours clearly say they are open til 8PM so I basically wasted my time driving down here and am extremely annoyed right now. read more

Turning a blind eye to the service because of the dan-tats. I am standing in front of the cash register watching the lady leisurely fiddle around with papers. The first 5 seconds was not a problem, the 2nd 5 seconds became awkward, and the remaining 50seconds was rude. There was no way she did not know I was standing as I was 2 feet away from her but chose not to address my existence at all. After finishing the paperwork, she walked away! When she came back after another minute, she acted like I just walked in. I still got my 3 dan-tats. My annoyance sizzled because the GF liked the dan-tats but WHAT THE FRICK?! Good bakery with good price but crappy service. Still good enough for me to come back. read more

Really good pastries and cakes! Ordered and bought cake multiple times for birthdays. Just one of the ladies is sort of rude. Other than that really like this small bakery read more

Quaint bakery in Chinatown with plenty of selection for breads, buns, pastries and cakes. Their *eggs tarts* were so big! And yummy! I do recommend eating these as soon as possible though because the breading in the crust doesn't hold up extremely well. You'll want to have them right away anyways. :) We also got the *BBQ pork bun* (delicious and quite filling) and the *coconut buns*. The latter was very coconutty - more so than I'd prefer, but that's just me. I did appreciate how the filling was a natural creamy color versus the yellow I've seen in other buns. All their buns and pastries were pretty cheap at $1.25 or more, but never more than $2 unless you go for the x-large savory buns. Their baked goods and cakes are their highlights although they also serve drinks and teas to go. My boyfriend and I found their buns very enjoyable and they made for great late night snacks and quick breakfasts during our stay in the PNW! read more

Loved this bakery, the owner was very helpful and friendly she did an awesome job with a congratulations cake I ordered. My only issue was the cake I ordered had custard and there wasn't with a plastic sleeve wrapped around the cake to keep the cake from sliding apart during the transportation. So, when we got to the office my cake looked like it was melting. We still ate the cake and it was amazing, but I was disappointed it wasn't as pretty when we first saw the cake. read more

The first tried ordering Napoleon and fruit cake online was great! My son and his girlfriend love it very much! After hearing their feedback on the taste and texture of the cake!

This review is only pertaining to their egg custard tarts. I haven't tried anything else. Their taste resemblance is comparable to some of the best I've had and I've been to NYC's Chinatown, San Francisco's Chinatown, Vancouver and Hong Kong. read more
