Chinatown Bakery - Tong TeaB-
9 Wardour St, London W1D 6PF
· Chinese bakery, Bakery, Bubble tea store
· The West End
A grab-and-go Chinatown bakery for taiyaki ice cream, soft buns, and milk tea—delicious, quick, and budget-friendly, but cramped with occasional brusque service.
Why this grade
Chinatown Bakery - Tong Tea delivers reliable quality taiyaki and soft serve with quick service and fair pricing that make it a worthwhile Chinatown stop. However, inconsistent pastry execution and cramped no-seating conditions prevent a higher grade—it excels as a grab-and-go counter but lacks the polish and comfort of stronger neighborhood bakeries.
One caveat: Very limited space, no seating, and queues at peak times
What to order here
- Taiyaki with soft serve (vanilla, matcha, or swirl)
- Cakes (strawberry, pandan, vanilla sponge)
- Buns (cream, peanut, red bean)
What stands out
- Warm-cold contrast of taiyaki with soft serve
- Light, fluffy cake textures
- Balanced sweetness that is not cloying
