Ho Won Bake Shoppe - New York, New York

Ho Won Bake Shoppe has stood the test of time, and the food has maintained its consistent taste, earning it a solid 4-star rating from me. However, there is room for improvement in customer service. I noticed they is no transparency with the ingredients on each item, which would be beneficial and important for customers with food allergies or sensitivities to avoid any potential issues. Additionally, there was a language barrier, as no one there understood English, leading me to intervene to reassure a customer that there were no peanuts in the sesame ball. The ambiance is not a significant factor as it's more of a grab-and-go spot.

Overall, I had a positive experience and I would consider returning.

З зовні виглядає дуже старенько і пошарпано, але хай це не вводить вас в оману! Місце дуже смачне. Людей багато, всі стоять в черзі за свіженькими пиріжками. Випічка свіжа і тепла.
Ціни дуже приємні. 1,75 за пиріжок з м'ясом ?
Пиріжок з куркою карі , смажений, чимось схожий на наші базарні біляші.
Пиріг з кокосом , незнаю що там ще окрім кокосу, але дуже смачно.
Рисовий локшиновий рол?, ніжно і смачно.
Там ще залишилось багато чого, що треба спробувати, наприклад пиріг з динею ?і з ананасом? - ви взагалі про таке чули?
Я точно буду радити це місце знайомим.

small gritty Chinatown bakery located on Hester Street. this spot is very much a hole-in-the-wall—serves up a variety of baked items, rice noodle rolls, pork buns, and a variety of coffee and tea drinks. Ho Won is takeout only. there’s no indoor dining etc. don’t judge a book by its cover bc this place serves eats and drinks at friendly prices.

the rice noodle rolls were satisfying and good. nice amount of chew as the noodle layers were thin but not gummy. flavored with dried shrimp, minced pork, and scallions—perfect bite as a snack. the bbq, pork buns are good. fluffy, sweet, savory and full of flavor. soft fresh airy bread stuffed with savory meat filling. while the rice noodle rolls and the pork buns are not the best i have ever had…they were solidly good and worth having if you’re in the neighborhood. each rice roll or pork bun is $1.50.

staff are quick. certain foods tends to run out by the end of the day.

You know that their zhong zi are fresh when they're stuffing them right at the store front!! However, the pineapple bun was one of the worst I've had-- dry and bland. Their chinese egg tart on the other hand was pretty decent.

Food is average. Nothing to write home about. Inquired about the price, ordered my foods, paid , received the change back and my foods all in under 2 minutes. But these 2 minutes are enough for me to leave this bad review. Needs better customer service.

Rice noodle roll getting worst as price increased, inconsistence on how the rolls are made, the main rice wrapper today was not fresh, service bad as usual. 腸粉越做越差!!

Stay away from the Coconut “Gai May Bao” Buns. This is absolutely the worst bun ever - filling is salty (perhaps a mistake) and the bun is dry and over baked. I was very excited on 8/24/2022 to see this place selling buns again. But it was a huge disappointment. They use to be a 9.5 for Coconut buns, I can’t even give it a 1 now. I never waste food, and it pains me to throw away 85% of this bun that cost $1.50. I hope the owner reads this and makes the proper change. They are better off not selling subpar buns.

On the other hand, their rice rolls (grease bombs) are good and classic!

I stopped for some sweet rice wrapped in leaves (it’s yellow rice with what looks like red bean sauce) and Mellon filled pastry. Quick service, but they didn’t have red bean pastry. I have a feeling things move fast here. Maybe they will have it next time:-)
