Golden Loaf

The shop itself does not say much until you go inside. It is a small shop that can get busy within minutes. There are quite a big variety of pastries that I have never seen before anywhere else. It took a bit of time to look at all of them and decide what to buy. You have to put your pastry onto a small plastic tray and take it to the cashier who puts them in paper bags. Only for take away there is no table inside or outside. B9t of downside that Only cash unless you pay more than 10£. Everything I bought was very nice I liked them a lot so I will go back next time as well. I bought chicken curry bun, pork bun and coconut pastry kind of rolls sweet. I recommend to visit it. It is cheap as well.

Their char siu bun and char siu puffs are very good and probably one of the better ones in London Chinatown. However, their chicken curry is an absolute joke - lack flavour and filling. The buns are certainly soft and airy but do note that they use Tigris Wheat and Luctor Milk both are forms of bread improvers. Like other breads in Chinatown they lack flavour. The salted peanut with lotus paste didn’t really match that well - maybe mix the lotus paste with crunchy peanut butter?

I first encountered the Golden Gate Cake Shop’s products in Tian Tian Market and I am obsessed. I’ve tried almost all the buns and now I usually go straight to Chinatown to buy the buns. My absolute favourite is the garlic and sweetcorn bun but none of the buns I’ve tried have disappointed. If you’re ever near Chinatown and want to buy some delicious buns, this is the place to go.

Great cakes for celebrations cake always so fluffy and light inside. Smaller buns are also good - favourites are the pork bun, sausage bun, and chicken curry bun. Bring cash if spending under £10.

Got some moon cakes for the office. Everyone enjoyed trying these sweet treats!

Nice little bakery, their red bean bun, char su bun and sponge cake are good however they have the best pandan bun ever in China Town. I've tried pandan bun in all the Bakeries but none of them have it as soft, fluffy with a good amount of pandan paste inside. Yum. It was always bust and ran out so I end up trying it from other bakeries. Finally I got one today. Staff are friendly too.

We love to get our Pastry and desserts here when we visit Chinatown. We dont visit often so when we do we buy quite alot. We brought nearly 2 of every savoury pasrty and bun, the one with the hotdog is especially nice and the one with porl floss and seaweed wrapped around the roll was very filling too. Great portion sizes. We also tried the BBq pork puff pastries and the fillings dont disappoint, more filling than the puff pastry which is rare in some bakery places where you get tiny filling and everything else is the pastry/bun. My son loves the pandan cake roll which its one of his favourites. Will definitely visit and purchase from here again next time we visit Chinatown.

We love their char siu buns, very soft and plenty of filling, probably the best in London Chinatown. We brought some last Saturday and were extremely disappointed, they tasted of bleach and chemical.

I found this place after my friend recommended it to me as she's been buying their cakes for years! I've so far had 2 full size cakes which were very reasonably priced for the detail, very tasty. We've also had a couple of slices of chocolate mousse cake, swiss rolls and the pork buns, all of which are fantastic and would highly recommend. The cakes are packed up into a very sturdy box which has been a great help.

This is a place you MUST beware, a lot of thieves operate in this shop, the buns are good, but it is worst losing your belongings for a few buns. The thieves come in different range, there’s a group of darker Asians could be Indonesian or Philippines or Thai of a malay origin thieves waiting for those who carries a backpack or even a crossbody bags to mug them and steal from the public. Another group thieves European/English looking also steal from the same area, as this side does not have CCTV, thieves operation are prevalent, they usually wait outside of the cake shop and watch those who enter they monitor their every move to steal from them straight after they left the cake shop.
