Tokyo Bakery — Restaurant in Toronto

It is a small bakery in a run down strip plaza. You would never know it was there unless someone told you about it.

They produce Hong Kong style buns and mousse cakes.

The bun variety is limited to the basics (bbq pork bun, pineapple/polo bun, hot dog bun, etc.), but the quality of the dough is fantastic. Soft and chewy. Better than a lot of the other more expensive Chinese bakeries around the area. Be aware though that they only put out a couple of buns at a time (like 2 or 3 of each). I don't know why. If you have a bigger order, you may want to call ahead of time.

The cakes were delicious and far exceeded expectations as I don't even usually like mousse-style cakes. The price for a large cake (9" or10"?) is $26, which is VERY REASONABLY PRICED for the quality. I challenge you to find a similar quality cake at that price. They also sell individual mini cakes at $3.75 (compare it to other bakeries at $7-$8). We tried all of the flavours. The only one we didn't enjoy was the blackerry.

Chinese places usually do a terrible tiramisu and chocolate cake, but I was pleasantly surprised at how good they were. I will definitely order those flavours again. My Jamaican in-laws loved the passionfruit the best.

They speak mostly Cantonese, but can also communicate in Mandarin. Not sure how strong their English is. If you only speak English, it may be easier for you to go into the store rather than calling on the phone.

The staff is so friendly. We have swished over to this bakery now because of their quality...

I've been going here for more than 15 years and finally decided to write a review. It's probably the best Chinese bakery in Scarborough in my opinion. I think they changed owners roughly eight years ago, but I didn't notice a change in cake or bun quality.

I'm not aware of any "deals" like 6 buns for $7.50 that you'll find at Max Bakery (3290 Midland Ave, unit 8) or Kin Kin Bakery and Bubble Tea (Agincourt Mall/Bridlewood Mall) that but I'm totally ok with that because the quality and amount of filling is worth the premium. Don't get me wrong, they're both solid places (Max Bakery is better), but they definitely skim on the fillings (especially the meat filled buns).

The BBQ bun had chunks of meat in it, you can actually see them! The red bean pineapple bun had individual red beans and not just a paste. A good way to tell a pineapple bun is legit is when the custard isn't shiny bright yellow - often, it means they didn't use colouring.

We always get our fruit cakes from them. A lot more fresh that T&T and St. Germain Bakery.

Give them a try, you won't be...

Was waiting to try this place for a long time and kind of disappointed. Went in on a Wednesday and about 11am. Literally, no buns remaining. Not sure if I went too late, but also looked at the cake display and nothing there either. Not sure if I went too late, but really wanted to try more of their items and didn’t find any. I managed to get 1 sausage bun and 1 coconut bun, but that was pretty much it. Went to another nearby bakery am to complete my purchases. Only took a pic of the entrance as the pics of empty shelves isn’t very appealing. Service when cashing out was decent, which is why there’s a few stars, but don’t know if I would make the trek from Markham to Scarborough for this bakery again. If anyone experience when is the best time to go, please do mention it as I would love to update this review to something...
