Don't be fooled by the sketchy exterior and location of Asian Sweet Bakery - I avoided it for years because of the appearance and this was probably one of my greatest mistakes. My friend finally dragged me inside to eat one day and it actually blew my mind.
This is one of the first places that is truly, authentically Chinese. My favorite thing is to order a pork rib crepe (the sauce is delicious, and the meat is so tender) with Chinese century egg and pork congee with a cup of fresh-made, hot soy milk. Makes me feel right at home and so, so delicious!
They also have a wonderful assortment of bakery items - from BBQ pork buns to mochi, coconut toasted buns to sesame balls, this place can definitely satisfy your sweet cravings. Make sure to come early to order egg tarts because they sell out fast!
The restaurant itself is small and simple inside. Things are also served on a paper plate with disposal utensils, which kind of sucks but is also pretty accurate to how some things are served in Asia haha.
So happy to have this place in Madison. A wonderful gem - thank you, Asian Sweet Bakery for making my day always so much sweeter!
