Six Ping

November 2024 This bakery is a must stop for us in Houston. Great value and generous portion. Taiwanese style bakery with many different flavors, salty or sweet. Highly recommend this bakery when visit HTown.

Really cool place and wide variety of breads and pastries to choose from. Everything we got was so soft and fresh. There bread is not very sweet which I really liked.

Came here for a quick sweet treat and it smelled so good that we ended up leaving with a bag full of goodies. It smelled heavenly inside and the owner was very kind and helpful! Highly recommend if you are in the area! :)

Some of the best sweet buns I’ve ever tasted. Perfectly golden, inside is soft and almost cake like, you can taste the sweetness, it’s almost like a custard when warmed. These buns pair nicely with pulled pork or some kind of pork dish! I ended up purchasing about 3 of their sweet buns. I didn’t end up trying anything else but I promised myself I would try something different each time I came here.

Cute little bakery. It's easy to overlook this bakery due to big brand name bakerys nearby, but make sure to give this bakery a chance!! For being such a small bakery, there is still a lot of variety. The cakes on display also looked very beautifully made. Everything I tried was delicious, but if I had to choose a couple to recommend, it would be the Tiger cake roll for sweet bread and the hot dog pull apart bread for a savory option.

I have been to a couple Six Ping locations and this place is smaller than others, yet the selection is pretty much the same. My favorites are Cony's Boyfriend (chocolate mousse) and other chocolate cakes, and the bread with dried pork meat is good, too. The staff was friendly.

I wish I lived next door. I picked out one pastry for each family member and now regret not just buying a whole plate for myself. There are so many delicious options, none will disappoint. The staff is patient and kind, so I felt comfortable taking my time.

Was there to pick up a big cake and asked for 3 complimentary cake pops for the kids,which was discussed with the previous employee that I ordered the cake from. The lady there flew into a rage and started yelling at us it was not possible and started calling the poor employee on her day off, and told her she had to pay them if she agreed to this. We told her no worries and paid for the cake and left. Feeling unsafe to deal with this type of customer service. It could be handled in a different way both with the customer and with the employee.

I love this place. Delicious pastries. I got a cheddar jalapeño bread loaf. It was kind of sweet, but overall delicious. The lady is super kind. I'm wishing the best I know it's not the safest part of town. She asked us if we needed anything and she let us take our time. Definitely coming back whenever I can.

I've been going here for as long as I can remember and it's so good. I really like their savory breads and they're all very cheap and worth it. My family always buys the mango cake here. It is more expensive ($50) but it's really good. The icing is not too sweet, theres fresh mango and fruit on it, there is a layer of flan/pudding in between and a layer of mango inside the cake as well. The workers are very nice and they have so many options.

The Japanese Cheesecake is the best, my family uses it for birthdays instead of regular cake now. Basically all of the dessert options in the fridges are amazing. The bread is not my cup of tea besides the Taiwanese style Egg Custard, that one is great. Keep in mind they do not accept AMEX Inexpensive but overall good quality and would recommend if in the area.

Cute place with all the best things. Mago cake was amazing for Mother's Day. Only gave 4 out of 5 stars because it was a tight squeeze with everyone in the store and limited signs outlining what everything was. But everything we tried was great.

I leave with a tray (or two) full of their baked treats. I love anything with taro and they have a few varieties of taro bread and treats. Their offerings of small cakes and pastries are plentiful and I haven't been disappointed!

Delicious cakes. They take order in advance so you can be sure you get what you want. You can even ask them to hold a cake for you. The inside is small but that realaly doesn't matter cause they have so many delicious selections.

Small tradition Chinese bakery in an old strip center of Chinatown. Large varieties of fresh bakes that were priced lower than the competitors. The size of the bakes was larger too. Our party brought several types of red bean filled buns. The red beans filling was generous and the bread was soft. We enjoyed the buns very much with our afternoon coffee at home. There were no tables nor chairs for indoor consumption. I will return if I am in the area.

My biggest pet peeve is that the owner didn't manage the biz pages on all of the Six Ping Bakeries 六品烘焙. This page was moved from Metropole Center to Dun Huang Plaza during Bellaire Blvd reconstruction in 2012-2015. The reviews were all over the places. I think this page didn't move back to Metropole (near Mala Sichuan) until 2017. I have been to all Six Ping Bakeries. This one is the smallest and has the best aroma than others. During CoVid-19 food service restriction period in 2020, they struggled to stay open. It was the saddest in Chinatown history. They closed more days then opened days. Things improved in 2021 but still operating under precaution. I praise for their business strategy by allowing few customers inside at the same time. Because I crave for the Hong Kong Buns once a while. It's far better than eating donuts. In 2022, inflation doesn't stop me from coming back for those delicious baked buns. They always have art cakes. That's why I'm here today to grab a slice of beautiful tasty cake.

This is my first time going here as I was on a last minute search for a birthday cake. The bakery is small but clean with a lot of options. The owner is so nice and welcoming. She was so thoughtful and giving me everything that I needed for a cake. This is now one of my top spots for cake when I'm in the area.

Basically a cheaper version of 85C Bakery. The specialty pastries are pretty large and they're only $3. The pies and cakes are pretty unique, are fairly priced ($5 for the minis) and aren't too sweet. I recommend the three that I've photographed: the mango mousse, the chocolate bear shaped mousse, and a durian pie.

Delicious cakes! Love love love the mango one The bakery smells amazing too! Would highly recommend.

Great quality bread ! There's many stores around so there's much to do after eating the bread. Y'all should try the mango mousse it's my favorite cake ( as a fruit and mango lover ) and the red bean bread as well .

I was mistaken. My previous review was for a different six ping location with way better service. This location is next to lao sze chuan. I'd have to say it is one of the worst locations you can visit. Having visited recently, we walked in with a drink in our hands, and the lady immediately started yelling, "NO NO NO," and kicked us out. I understand if a business does not want other food and drinks inside, but there was a better way to approach the situation. The shelves were not as fully stocked and had limited options in comparison to the other six ping locations. Let's just say I will not be returning.

I picked out a little chocolate mousse cake it was so cute and sooo delicious. I was really pleased with the service and how quick everything went .

Amazing cakes. Staff was very nice. We always stop by when we are in town. The smell of the bakery is so yummy

Asian bakery that has an excellent assortment of flavors. The pastries tend to be light and fluffy with smooth and creamy, but not overly sweet filling. I was warned not to purchase too much because you want to eat it fresh. I wish I could have tried everything.

Baked good was sooooooo delicious. I wish I had only bought more of it! So sad it's only in Houston! I wish there was a way to overnight the baked goods from here! Love the service as well, very friendly!

This lady I don't know if she owns this place but she's a bitch. I open the fridge looking for a diet or zero drink and she told me I'm looking too long the temperature is dropping. I told her she's annoying and I just bought more than $20 of bakery goods. No consideration. I'm coming back and cuss at her again or go to 85degrees. Bad customer service

Great Asian Bakery! They have amazing cakes, always fresh variety of bread selections, and I especially like how they individually packaged everything. It is a small bakery but the shelves are always well stocked. The cakes are moist, not overwhelmingly sweet, and they have great flavor choices. There's always premade cakes ready to be purchased, but custom order ones only need 2-3 advance notice.

High quality cakes with many selections. For birthday cakes, order in advance is recommended.

COVID-19: Open and masks worn with a plastic barrier!! The owner is Taiwanese!!! A TAIWANESE BAKERY Y'ALL YUSSSS. There were SO many quality breads, some Taiwanese staples...and others that were so brilliant like pandan coconut and a sponge cake bread with pandan, taro AND vanilla? YES. Their breads are what I am used to: buo luo/pinapple bun, breads with rou song/pork floss, and ingredients like taro and custard. Man! I have been looking to get Taiwanese bread outside of 85C (because 85C is definitely more "white-washed" and overpriced, let's be real). Six ping is it!!! I was also pleased to know that they have multiple locations, but all sprinkled around the Chinatown area. I'm pumped that I know I can get fluffy, delicious, fresh and TASTY asian breads outside of 85C. All of the breads I picked were around $2. The friendly and kind lady working today at this location was so sweet. Do know that there's a $10 minimum for credit card use, so if you don't plan on getting a lot of items...bring cash! Plenty of parking in this parking lot shared with other restaurants. Come through and support local y'all.

Maybe it's because cakes are more of their specialty, or I got the wrong items (they had a BIG selection) or that my expectations were high, but...yeah, I miss Doraville. I got a pandan coconut bun, a taiwanese lotus egg yolk cookie, a mung bean bun, a bacon cheese baguette, and a couple of the big macaroons (chocolate and...I think raspberry?) Anyways, the mung bean bun and the lotus cookie were way too sweet. The pandan coconut bun was almost the opposite, but the main problem was I could barely taste the pandan. The taste of the eggs in the dough was stronger than the actual main flavors. The bacon cheese baguette had a good flavor, but while I don't mind fatty bacon this bacon really was at least 80% fat. The macaroons were the one item where besides the texture (that may have been partially because I didn't eat them straight away and put them in the fridge) I really did like. Besides looking really cool because they were as big as my hand, they were pretty decent (the raspberry one didn't have much flavor other than vague sweetness, but the chocolate one had a lovely flavor). Overall: in the things I tried, there wasn't much flavor and a fair amount was too sweet, or had other issues. My least favorite Chinese bakery in the Atlanta area I liked a lot better than this, and there were four others I preferred to it. I'll have to keep looking for something like my old favorites.

We definitely were stopping by here to get some Chinese baked goods for the road. We came right when it opened on a weekday and it might not have been such a good idea... We were in a rush to get on the road and they were still packaging the buns to put out on the shelves so we did not get to select from the full selection. We were able to get some coconut bun, custard bun, lotus cake, mango bun... Next time we need to come in the middle of the day to get some cake! The cakes displayed looked soooo good and beautifully decorated. Bonus to this place because they take credit card! Phew!

Today's Mommy's Birthday! Happy Birthday Mommy!! I love you Mommy! said my exquisitely adorable daughter....like 10 times! *heart melted* Fallen in love at the first sight with this cute unicorn cake, my picky eater kept scooping into her mouth the colorful sweet cream and had fun playing with the fondant unicorn horn. Hey, you guys just have no idea how difficult it is to make her stay seated and eat! I loved my tasty birthday cake and had a great time. Thank you Six Ping!

This is one of my favorite bakeries and absolutely the best place for cakes. I tend to prefer Asian bakeries compared to American ones because it's not as sweet. Their big sized cakes are only $32. I got a taro cake there for a friend's birthday and it was absolutely delicious. It also came with candles and a happy birthday sign.

Six Ping appears to be a local Chinese bakery chain in the Bellaire district of Houston. There is an excellent variety of really large fresh looking buns, both sweet & savory, in the $2-3 range. They are perfectly balanced in a very Chinese way, without being overly sweet or rich, but still are quite filling. This is not the place to come for really upscale or "extra" tasting dough, it's more simple yet satisfying. I thought the buns were all delicious. I recommend getting anything with custard filling. Keep in mind there's a $10 minimum if you want to pay with card, otherwise just bring cash.

Delicious baked goods, and really good cakes! Everything that I have tried at six ping has been delicious. Recently got a cake for a birthday party and it tasted and looked amazing!

Service was good but the lady at the front had trouble understanding my words initially. It's a very small store. Cake is good but expensive.

A friend told me this was the best bakery they had in Houston so I decided to try them out! I'm usually a Korean bakery girl and this was more Chinese style bakery with pork floss, sugary cookies and also offered to go coffees. I tried their Japanese cheesecake mini which was the best one I had so far! It was more on the wetter side? But it was so moist and so fluffy! I also had their custard bun and I have to say it was so good! Not cheap vanilla custard, but it was Harty and not too sweet! I also got some almond cookies and... the chocolate one straight up tasted like chalk lol... like the cheap cookie in the tin your grandma has in the house that nobody really eats? Their other almond cookie with a sugar coating was a lot better! They also have animal shape bread that was super cute and pastries with the hotdog. All in all it is really tasty and I'm glad to have tried it

Affordable and fresh, each pastry is packed in its individual package, I like it because of sanitary conditions. Especially, I love the white cream topping vanilla flavored bread and Oreo cream bun ( just one straight line of cream in the top middle of the bun). It is not easy to find this kind of bread/bun in other bakeries.

Zero services and bad attitudes!!! Don't go there!!! Tried to order a cake but they don't answer any questions and they don't even try to sell their cakes!!!

Cheat. Please look at recieved after you paid. They will over charge you. This is my third time They did that to me.

Loved this bakery! One of my favorite bakery! Cake not too extremely sweet! Will try different flavor later on.

Many selections. Durian bread 3/5 Durian pie 5/5 Pork sung bread 5/5 Pandan triangle cake 5/5 Vanilla triangle cake 5/5 Long cheese bread 4/5 Pandan cupcake 5/5 Recommended for sure. Two thumbs up

I finally got to try this place. It smells wonderful inside. I like that the cashier leaves you alone until you're ready to make your purchase. Everything looks delicious and I tried the coconut almond bread which was awesome. I normally don't really like Asian pastries because they're not sweet enough for me but this one was perfect. So many choices

Ive been visiting this bakery since I was a kid, so it saddens me to update this review to a 1 star. Wtf happened? Prices are noticeably higher (understandable) but the quality has gone down. I took a chance on this pudding bread that I can't believe they sell. Have they ever taste tested it? It's just a pudding island surrounded by tasteless and dry bread. The two textures were completely incompatible. It was clearly stale and not baked fresh that day. Same issue with the pork floss green onion bread. There's also a food safety concern because they keep the breads sitting at room temp, and many of them contain custard and cream fillings. It's warm in Houston even in the winter time, y'all. I know this is common practice for Chinese bakeries, but presumably they're not storing them for over 12 hours without refrigeration? I'm switching to kamalan from now on. I believe their policy is to never ever sell old bread.

I got some cute decorated mousses and it didn't disappoint me. The consistency of the mousse cream for the durian is softer (possibly will melt easily if leave in hot place) than the cony boyfriend chocolate mousse. Durian mousse on a pie crust: top is durian mousse and bottom is light, soft sponge cake. The inside is filled with small amounts of fresh durian. Covered with light durian ganache. Cake is not overly sweet. Love it. Will taste better if serve cold. Cony chocolate mousse on a pie crust : only chocolate mousse. Topped with cocoa powder and chocolate.

We stopped for a few snacks before eating a late lunch, we have very little Asian bakery experience but everything we bought was delish. The chocolate almond cookies, honey melt cookie, and the coffee cream cookie were tasty.

I don't even have one ping, let alone six of them, but if you want six of them, this is the place to come. One of the better and more Innovative bakeries in Chinatown Houston with all kinds of delights. Sometimes they sell homemade Mochi sweets which are so chewy and delicious and drive me crazy. They have massive size macarons which I don't like very much. But they have a lot of other good stuff here and you should check them out. Their custard tart is probably my favorite item. I've been to two locations many times - one is in Dynasty Plaza next to Mala and the other one is over in dunhuang which is newer I think. Literally across the street from each other but because people usually go by Plaza around here that totally makes sense. It's almost like putting one in another town or at least another suburb. And if you want 7.5 ping, call me.

This is truly a good find. Ever since I got to Houston we've tried a few barriers from 85 degrees and la patisserie none has been better than six ping in quality, service and over selection and taste. On my birthday we always have gotten the same thing which is the mango cake with mango mousse and custard. These are fresh mangoes which they only buy in season throughout the summer. On other occasions I would buy various flavors like taro, durian, even vanilla custard and they are all good. The frosty is always light and airy and doesn't feel like you've eaten a brick like at American bakeries. They're other treats and buns are also good and usually have sales at the end of the day to rid of their stock because they don't sell day old products. Check them out if you haven't done so, the have like 6 locations and they're all within the same vicinity.

we bought a taro fruits cake. we ate half of it and keep the other half in the fridge. BUT the very next day the other half already turn sour and taste bad. $40.00 dollars of cake and waste half of the cake in the trash.

There were too many that I wanted to try, so I decided to buy 5 and call it my dessert for a week or two. 1) japanese cheesecake - this is like a pocket for fluffy lightness with a hint of cream cheese 2) teddy bear mousse pie - nice smooth chocolate mousse shaped in a dome sitting on top of chocolate cake and a layer of cream 3) tiramisu cup - so so ... not enough coffee chocolate flavor to call it a tiramisu; missing the best part of tiramisu which is the soaked ladyfingers (this was like a lightly moistened cake) 4) green tea cake - delish like last time 5) durian pie - I found out I do not like durian at all

Small shop with a great assortment of asian baked goods. The japanese cheesecake is only a couple bucks and fluffy, properly portioned, and delectable. Gather up a few rolls, and present them at the counter to pay. Parking is limited directly in front of the establishment, but the shopping area is pretty large even has a parking garage attached so you won't have too much trouble finding a spot as long as you're willing to walk a few minutes.

The Six Ping empire strikes again. They have multiple locations, and are consistent for each location. The pineapple tarts are the best goods you can get from Six Ping. Most of the breads are nothing special, the pineapple buns leave something to be desired, and the egg tarts are okay. The macarons make great souvenirs, but just look good. Nevertheless I've never had better pineapple cakes. There's a decent amount of parking and the cashiers and customers are mostly Asian.

I really like this bakery they have a great selection of both sweet and savory bread. Some of the bread have super cute shapes with great flavors, the bear chocolate mousse is delicious! in the other hand the blackberry felt short, I think it depends on your personal taste. I got a bunch of breads my last visit, following is my breakdown: -Chocolate bear mousse, tasty not super sweet chocolate nor is bitter, plus is super cute. -Blackberry cake, not strong blackberry flavor weird after taste on bread -Honey soft bread, this is probably why I like this bakery so much the sponge cake recipe they use is 10/10 -Big size macarons, not the traditional macaron flavor or texture, won't recommend getting them here More to come, I still have about 4 more I have to go through.

I've actually never ordered cake here before, but I really like this location more than the other one! For some reason the breads and the cakes are baked better. We called in a cake order on Thursday night for an afternoon Saturday pickup, and it was already done when we got there. The process to get a cake is super quick and I like it! We bought this cake for my mom's birthday and she loved this cake with a passion. I would definitely come back and order more birthday cakes! What we ordered: Pandan Cake w Durian and Egg Pudding Filling - 5/5 Usually people don't like durian. It's a taste that you have to be comfortable with. If you do like it, this place makes the best durian cakes. It's not totally overbearing and the egg pudding compliments it amazingly. The icing is also not overbearing and I'm not usually an icing person. It's more light and fluffy than heavy icing.

Six Ping has a bunch of locations in Chinatown. During our vacation, I would walk over from the hotel to get goodies like cakes, breads, and buns. I don't remember what they all were, but I know they were good! Check them out :)

I have been coming here for years for some of the best baked goods, cakes, and desserts but realized I've never written a review that is well deserved. I dropped in on Saturday to pick up a birthday cake and saw the durian tart that I had to try. The vanilla cake with fruit and pudding filling and almond coating was fluffy, light, and perfect. I don't like overly sweet cakes such as those with fondant. This cake is exactly to my liking. I bought it for a group of five. The birthday girl finished it the next day with her two children! I was confused by the durian tart because I really couldn't smell the pungent smell like all durians have. That was until I cut into the tart. It was filled with the durian fruit and rested on a thin, soft cake layer. The outside dome is a vanilla mouse with a hint of durian flavoring. The crispy tart at the bottom outside is crumbly like a pie crust. This is my new favorite durian dessert in Chinatown Houston! I highly recommend for those that like durian. For those that don't like the smell-don't try it.

Someone gave me a during dessert from this place. It was good and had great presentation, but sadly did not live up to the hype of the other reviews. The durian flavor was a little muted.
