Charlie's Bakery & Chinese Restaurant

I have always loved the cake here, and i asked if we can do a special order since i live out of town but still within the state. I asked if we can pack it a bit more secure than they usually do because i will be having it delivered through air cargo and they said they don’t have anything to stabilize and not to worry because the cake will be secured. When i got it, it was all pushed to one side as you can see in the picture. Flavor was still good but if they can find a way to secure the cake with cake dowels or something to keep it from shifting during delivery would be amazing. If that were to happen, i would most definitely keep ordering cake from here just to have it delivered out of town. If not, then i guess the only option for me is to just fly over and pick it up myself.

Excellent customer service, fast, clean great atmosphere. I got a braise beef soup, mocha cake and shu mai. The soup was alright it was lacking some flavors it tasted bland to me, the cake was perfect moist and soft, it wasn’t too sweet it was just perfect and the shu mai was good. I got the pork and shrimp and it was good. My second time here and it’s always packed, I’ll need to try more food on the menu’s. I’ll go back for another visit

Ordered the Bean curd roll, spicy seafood noodle soup, sesame salad with chicken and beef chow mein. The bean curd roll was so tasty and was amazing! The beef chow mein was also noteworthy! However, the sesame salad was too sweet, though the chicken wasn’t bad. The spicy seafood noodle soup lacked flavor and was not super spicy. Also got eggs tarts, but they were not super flaky… This restaurant is still pretty nice and is very affordable.

The food came out fast and was hot. However for what it is it kind of seems expensive. $80 for 2 adults and a kid (3 meals and 2 soup). Flavor was lacking in some areas. There was a lot of pieces of meat that weren’t good in the Mongolian beef, like fatty or too chewy. Also, we were hungry again soon afterwards. People rave about this place but tbh I feel like it’s just ok.

I came in a busy time for lunch but the line was quick so I have no problem with it. First thing first you have to do is look for the menus they put on their wall and order it from cashier. You have to do it quickly because the people behind you keep coming

I really wanted to see what the food was all about since I heard this is where the best Chinese food was at. I got the $15.95 per plate Mongolian beef and broccoli chicken. I wanted it to be good but it wasn’t, so dry and salty! The meat was a bit rubbery and why is my food mixed together with my rice? Can that not be separated? The cashier was unpleasant too, felt like she was rushing me, and seating was just too crowded.

Love this place. Charlie’s Bakery is my go-to spot for sesame chicken, and their whole roasted duck (available on Saturdays) is absolutely worth planning around. I always bring new family members here when they’re visiting because it never disappoints — everything is consistently delicious. Their desserts are just as impressive. The cakes are light, not overly sweet, and topped with fresh fruit, making them perfectly balanced. The buns, breads, and pastries are also excellent. This is one of those places you keep coming back to.
