Lucky Bakery & BBQ

We were visiting from Chicago and surprised to see a small enclave of Chinese stores here! Weren't expecting much of a bakery in Wisconsin but was really impressed after trying a bunch of their goodies! Even their cha siu was better than some places in Chicago's Chinatown. (I just wish it wasn't dyed as red.) Otherwise it was very tender and delicious! Moon cakes were also delicious. Can't wait to return and make this a weekend trip staple of ours!

I liked their pork cake and honey bbq pork. It's def on the pricier side but it's hard to find good Asian pastries around here. They seek to sell out of things fast so def stop by earlier in the day than later!!

I really wish there were more Asian food places in Wisconsin but due to the smaller Asian population, it's really difficult to find decent Chinese food places. Panda Express and mall court Chinese food is NOT representative of Chinese food. Trader Joe's orange chicken is actually better tasting IMO.I really wanted yummy Chinese baked goods- think custard egg tarts, Chinese pastries, moon cake (for the Mid-Autumn festival) and I was elated to find this Bakery. It's located in a strip mall with an Asian grocery store and a couple of decent Chinese restaurants (for Wisconsin standards). Lucky Bakery has a variety of baked goods and their moon cakes were delicious albeit a little pricey. I opted for a couple and they threw in a cute red gift box. The recipients of my mooncakes really liked them so I will definitely return to try that- and the BBQ meats.I definitely recommend checking out this plaza if you're in SE Wisconsin and want to try some Asian food/buy some Asian groceries.

This is probably the bakery that we visit most often in Milwaukee. The owner is always friendly and helpful. The Cantonese style buns and pastries are authentic and fresh. They also make special traditional pastries for Chinese traditional holidays. Mooncakes for Mid-autumn festival, Zongzi for Dragon Boat Festival, Sweet Rice Cakes in gold fish shape for Lunar New Year... In addition, they serve savory Cantonese style traditional dishes for take-out. As Cantonese, we feel lucky to have a bakery like this in Milwaukee.

So happy to have found Lucky Bakery on the occasion of Mid Autumn Harvest Moon Festival. They have such a wide selection of yummy moon cakes (my favorite is the red bean paste moon cake). They also have a ton of different baked meat options and full pig roast. Lucky also specializes in Egg Tart and I definitely recommend them.

I stopped by the weekend before Lunar New Year and the place was packed with individuals waiting to pick up their orders. Unfortunately, everything was rather picked over but what was left looked good. The mooncake was delicious and has me wanting to try additional things. I'm hoping to make it back not on a holiday weekend so I can get a more typical experience! It's in a strip mall so parking is easy and free.

I love the selection and variety of options for sweet and savory treats. If you can, arriving early is always best - once an item is sold out, that's it for the day!

Duck is still amazing. The other meats look super authentic too - but I'm sticking with duck because I have to drive out of the way to come here and when I'm here I always just want the duck. And by the time I've added the buns, I can't justify spending more money for just me and hubby. Steamed pork buns are always filled with tons of meat. Sometimes I get them at supermarkets and they have so little filling that I'm left with more than half of just plain bun. But not these - I can enjoy my meats with every last drop of the bun. The fried red bean buns are also soooo delicious. Super chewy, also filled to the brim, and good even the day after. Or the next. Also a note on COVID - they are very conscientious. They've actually built a transparent plastic wall to separate the staff from the customers. If there are a lot of customers inside, you can wait outside. What an effort!You won't be making small conversation with the staff here (unless you speak Chinese). But picking out what you need and relaying that info is straight forward and easy enough.

The best roast pork, duck and bakeries. Our family is a regular and we loved it. Thank God it's not too far from my home. This place saved me from driving to Chicago China town. Friendly staff and an amazing service as always. I'll be coming back again.Thank you!

It's like going to Los Angeles or Houston China town for dim sum . Good quality , but limited in selection because it's a small operation . I love the fresh duck , barbecue pork , chicken and egg tarts . Problem is that it runs out fast . It's a small place . Excellent foods !!!!!!!
