Vinh Xuong Bakery

Craven moon cake and was excited they had different varieties to make into a box. I like picking my own and don't like pre boxes where they're all one flavor only. Auntie was so nice and placed my selections into the box. Got rang up and then we were good to go. Yum!

3.5 stars.I accidentally discovered VINH XUONG BAKERY when we went to the Far East Center on Federal Boulevard to have dinner at Pho Hong on the evening of Wednesday, June 19, 2024, and parked right in front of the bakery. I had to go inside and check them out.At the time of our visit, the venue could welcome no more than an estimated six patrons at a time inside. Basically, a hole in the wall. Upon entry, we were met with a table that was set about three to four feet from the front door that served as the counter for ordering, a fridge of cold food items for sale, and a wall of shelves offering packaged dried fruits and other sweets. Adjacent to the front table was a metal rack of baked goods like sesame balls, almond cookies, Chinese donuts, etc. Yelp shows some photos of a much bigger space that was open to customers. Those days are long gone and if the place is still at the same exact location, I didn't see any trace of its prior semblance.I was very excited to find one of my favourite pastries found only at Vietnamese establishments, pate chaud. I bought three at $5 each to bring home as well as a couple of che from the fridge; Che Bap (coconut milk, tapioca pearl, sugar, corn, pandan, salt) & Che Ba Ba (Coconut milk, Tapioca pearls, Taro, Sweet potatoes, Yam, Sugar) at $3.50 each. My digital receipt's total came out to $23.76 for the five items plus tax. Everything that I purchased was yummy.Service was nice and friendly. I did feel like I was blindly buying things, though, because I didn't see price tags on anything and there were no prices posted anywhere. I found out pricing only after I received my receipt.Three things that I wish:1. They would revert to their original bakery layout. The previous store interior appeared much more welcoming and just looked WAY better for a customer experience.2. Prices would be posted.3. There was another VINH XUONG BAKERY nearby my house. I would be a regular!

A hole in the wall. It's a tiny restaurant with no menu. You come in and order banh mi according to what the owner tells you. Lol. They have some Asian baked goods and they are bombs.

Small place run by old Vietnamese couple. So far we've had the fried sesame balls and it's the best I've had in Denver! Reminded me of Cali. It's with mung beans filling instead of taro which is traditional Vietnamese sesame balls and none of that weird taro filling you get from dim sum place. We pop them in air fryer for 4 min at 290 and it's seriously so good. This place is for all your childhood Vietnamese treats. Like banh da lợn, banh tiêu, all kinds of Che. Pate Chaud pastry. Would go back and try other stuff like maybe banh mi? They take credit card and cash.

MAGGOTS IN MY BANH MI??!I AM TRAUMATIZED!!! This is completely unethical. This is beyond a health code violation. I am left speechless and full of disgust. To think I let my family eat here because they served banh mi. But this is just so wrong. Children ate these!! Be sure to check your food! If it's gotten to the point of maggots, that just means you don't even care anymore. I don't want them to be shut down, I want them to do better!! It was still moving :'}

5th for 2022 It has been awhile since my visit and ... and the whole place.... is in shambles. That was my 1st observation. They have moved everything around and made the place look like a fort with plastic screen to separate the customers from the rest of the bakery. This made it very hard to see what they had to offer and I could not even see the menu.My mission for the day was to order bahn mi and compare to Bale La and could not make out the choices since I couldn't really see anything. After confirming with the owner, yes, bahn mi is available and did not know what to get but did see glimpse of combination and that's what I ordered. Came back after few minutes and it was ready and $6 was the damage. Brought it home and opened it up about 2 hours after ordering it. To my surprise, the bread was still crunch, filled with plenty of sliced assorted meats and pickled vegies and spreads. It was pretty large sandwich for $6 and definitely worth it. I think Ba Le has it for about $5 but lot skinnier and also bread is different. Vinh Xuong offers bread that is closer to Italian (softer crust) verses Ba Le being closer to French banquette with hard crust.Only down side is I did not see Vietnamese coffee and I had to go to another store.

CHECK YOUR FOOD! omg I don't even know where to even start because I am still in shock right now. I am currently pregnant and I was craving for a vietnamese sandwich, of course other places were close on a Tuesday. There were a couple of things I wish they did for the customers which were putting a menu somewhere, or have the prices somewhere so we know how much everything costs and what they have. We ended up spending like 50$ here, which was a lot but we decided to support small family own businesses. Anyways, the DOWNSIDE TO ALL OF THIS! Was I found MAGGOTS IN MY SANDWICHES!!! I ate half of my sandwich and then when I tore my daughters sandwich in half, I saw something moving and squirming! OMG I couldn't believe my eyes!!! I threw everything I bought from them today, from desserts, steam buns, sandwich's and other small bakery items. I am in complete disgust. My boyfriend didn't finish his sandwich at first because his meat was still frozen so he ended up throwing it away. I honestly CAN'T believe they're getting away with serving food like this to customers and allowing it to happen. I will be contacting the owners about this because this is just so wrong especially when serving it to a pregnant woman! I'll be attaching photos.

Was really looking forward to getting some authentic banh mi after reading this place was better and cheaper than another more highly rated place. Got here early in the morning to pick some up for our hike in the Rockies. Once we got there we saw that it was in a little Chinatown plaza. The front looked so dirty and shabby. Hesitated at 1st. And they closed the inside of the bakery so you just ordered from her right up front. We picked up 7 banhmi to go with the toppings on the side. 4 bbq pork and 3 combo. It was expensive for each. $6. Isn't what we are used to coming from Texas where great banhmi in Houston is $3 each. So these better be good. 1st the bbq pork looked different than Texas bbq pork. So we took it to go not too happy with the order even though the owner was nice. Stuck it in our cooler for later. However when we dug into it after our meal we were pleasantly surprised. They were so tasty. The bread freshly made that morning she said was still soft and chewy. The ingredients were fresh and tasty. We could have used more radish though but wow pretty good banh mis. Made us forget about the $6 pricetag for them :) content!

Absolutely love their sweets. The owner has been here since the Far East Center opened in the late 80s, too. The selection is a lot smaller, but what she has is amazing. I make a special trip to come here whenever I am in the area. My absolute favorites are the fried sesame balls with mung bean and the Che Dua 3 Mau that had coconut milk, red beans, white beans, garbanzo beans and, red kidney beans. Split one with the family if you have never had lentils as a sweet as it is an acquired taste. They also have a green jelly layered with mung bean that is exceptionally good when freshly made. If you dont see it, ask her as she may have it in the back.

Came here for a late lunch - and it lives up to the hype. I only wish I lived closer because I would come once a week. The bahn mi sandwiches are hugeeee and the pork is so flavorful, the vegetables are seasoned perfectly and love the crunch from the cucumber. The bread is fresh and soft. Absolutely delicious and the best part is - only a 5 min wait and I was able to eat outside (they have a few tables) with our dog. Can't wait to come back.
