It's really hard to find a good Chinese bakery in town but Diamond does a pretty good job. What I primarily come here for is their BBQ Pork Buns (both baked and steamed) and their egg tarts.The BBQ Pork buns have good flavor and an acceptable amount of filling. The bun is soft and it's something I get on every visit. The egg tarts are also pretty good. The crust is flaky and the filling has good flavor. If you don't eat it warm from their case, chilling it in the fridge as a cold tart also works if you like that kind of thing. I do! Their cocktail bun I find is a little shallow in the amount of filling, but when you taste the filling, it is good! The Pineapple Bun has an option with custard and this one is better than just the non-filled version. The bakery isn't cheap but then again, most places are several dollars per item anyhow!

Food (5/5): I found this place on TikTok and had to check it out when I saw they had BBQ pork buns! I bought two of them and I'm glad I finally found an Asian bakery with some nostalgic treats. The buns didn't have as much BBQ pork as I expected, but they were very soft and subtly sweet. Service (5/5): there were two workers who were very prompt and helpful. Credit cards require a $5 minimum purchase, however, and each bun was $2.90ish, so it worked out for me. Ambiance (5/5): the mall is really quiet and there's only a few stores inside, but the actual bakery is always packed with fresh treats. Overall (5/5): if I'm in the area, I'd definitely like to come back, especially for the almond cookies next time!

I've been coming here for a really long time, more than two decades! This is my favorite Asian bakery. Yes, the prices have increased, over the years, but that's everywhere; back in the day, we used to go to Freeds (when it was on Eastern/Tropicana- it's moved, and there are more locations), but their prices have skyrocketed, so we don't go there anymore.Yesterday we were across the street at Mr. BBQ so I figured since we were in the area, that we'd stop by. I got the last taro bun! I was looking at all of the goodies and I spotted ube hopia, I've never seen that before, so I snagged one because now, as an adult I love things all ube (was not the case when I was a kid though). Hubby likes the coconut bun, and then we got a couple other ones too. Because lunch was so big (Thank You to Yelp and Mr. BBQ!), what did I have for dinner? Half of the taro bun, and half of one ube hopia, MMM, yes, it was heavenly. I was trying to describe the original flavor to my son, as best as I could (it is dry), but that was part of my childhood! And then I was trying to describe the difference between taro and ube. Taro is less sweet, but ube is sweeter and richer, and I think it is so popular today, that is has become mainstream for non-Filipino places to have it on their menu. If you don't believe me, you can Google it. Anyway, I am so glad that we stopped here and got these goodies. THANK YOU to Diamond Bakery for keeping it consistent and putting forth tasty baked goods for us loyal customers in Las Vegas.

I had low expectations because it looked super thick and it was $4 for one of these, but it turned out pretty good. It's very soft, has a lot of winter melon including chunks and a ton of sesame seeds. I don't like it this chunky usually, but I guess it works here because I just chew the chunks with the seeds. It's also just right with its sweetness. The service was fast and it was in a mall.

We stopped in to get a few sweets for later, after having lunch and picking up some boba around the corner. It was kind of an odd experience with it feeling like being watched. The two young ladies working the counter just stood there, leaning on the counter, waiting for us. They seemed really annoyed about us being there but it could be that they were just annoyed to be working on a nice Saturday (it did seem like the other older woman working was scolding them at one point.) After I left a tip in the jar, I actually got a smile and huge thank you from one of them, so there's that. The place seemed pretty clean, even if it was a bit old. The selection of items was a bit lacking for me. I'm not sure if it was because they sell out in the morning on a Saturday or if they just don't do much business so they make less than they would before. We did get a few of our favorite things.To be honest, I don' think I'd be back. For the service for sure and because nothing we got was that great.

Diamond Bakery is located in the same plaza as 99 Ranch with plenty of parking available. My husband and I decided to stop by this bakery since we were going to pick up some milk tea from No. 1 Boba Tea. I was greeted by one of the employees behind the counter when we entered. We ended up purchasing:Taro Bun, $2.85- This bun had 4 small pieces that you can tear away from each other. My husband and I each had two pieces and shared with our little girl dog. Each piece had plenty of taro. There were also slivered almonds as well. The bread was soft and wasn't too sweet, which was nice. I would buy this item again. Steam Chicken Bun, $2.95- We consumed this bun the next day, after heating it up in the microwave with a damp paper towel. We were both a bit disappointed with this bun because there was hardly much filling inside, the bun was mostly just bread. I wouldn't recommend purchasing this. Green Bean Sesame Ball, $2.65- I decided to get this and ate it within the hour of purchase. This sesame ball was good and best consumed fresh. The shell of the sesame ball itself was just perfect and had a nice chew. I liked the filling, as it wasn't too sweet. It was also packed with plenty of green bean. I would purchase this again. ------------------------------- (Total= $8.45)Service was friendly and there was a good variation of different pastries and baked goods to choose from. They also sell Chinese tamales/ rice dumpling, egg tarts/ Portuguese egg tart too. Please note that there is a minimum of $5 for any credit card transactions (but they only accept Visa and Mastercard).

While visiting Vegas, my brother said he wanted to go to Diamond Bakery, so I was curious and tagged along. Such a legit Asian bakery with lots of treats from my childhood and some I hadn't seen before. We grabbed a bunch to take home - the sweet fried "butterfly" things were the best. Of course I loved the egg tarts and fresh BBQ pork buns as well. I wasn't blown away but would definitely come back here again next time I'm in town.

This USED to be our favorite place for pork bao (Hawaii calls it manapua) but they have gone downhill so bad since Covid. Used to be so much meat at filling in the Jin dui (sesame balls) but look at these pictures of what we bought today. This is UNACCEPTABLE!!! Plus they raised the prices as now are serving literally bread balls with no filling and sesame balls with a marble size of filling. DO.NOT GO TO THIS PLACE ANYMORE. IT IS SO BAD!!!
