Overall the food was just okay here.
I came late in the day so I sadly missed the egg tarts but they had plenty of po tarts which are basically milk cream custard in the tart forms. The pastry was so light and flaky with a rich and velvety filling!
I wanted a savory pastry too and asked the cashier which was their favorite, they recommended the spicy curry. This wasn't the best.It wasn't bad but it also wasn't spicy nor did it have much flavor. The pastry dough itself was so much better than the entirety of the item.

This is a great spot for Chinese baked goods. Their egg tarts and Portuguese tarts are some of the best in the city. The Portuguese tarts have an egg white filling instead of the traditional egg yolk filling. Their buns are also very good! My favorite is the barbecue pork pineapple bun.

Both of the po tarts and the egg tarts were not too sweet, I like the po tarts more. Reasonable price. Their breads were just ok.

The po tart (portugese) was shocking and incredible. Flavor was so good and it melted in my mouth. Skip the pineapple cake.
I love egg tarts — ideally not too sweet and very, very eggy. Jim’s Bakery delivers with a smooth, rich custard encompassed in a crispy exterior. It is probably pretty calorie dense, though 😅

BEST CAKES IN SGV!!! P.S. their egg tarts & Portuguese egg tarts are also very bomb good!!! If you are into the crispy flakey tarts, try Jim's Bakery~ Remember to call early on the weekend to reserve the egg tarts because they do sell out quick during the busy days. If you have a celebration going on and want to purchase asian cakes, come here and you will not be disappointed. I have tried both mango and fresh strawberries cake and they only use the best products for them. The fruits were very fresh and sweet, with the cake texture very sponge-like and yummy. Pricing is not bad at all but do remember to call ahead to reserve! :)

Was gifted this AMAZING fresh mango cake from Jim’s and it was to die for. Perfect presentation, thinly sliced somewhat ripe mangos that still had a crunch to them that was the perfect balance to the fluffy cake on the inside, and a light airy cake center that wasn’t too sweet. Want to pay them a visit myself now!

Baked goods are worth the journey. Po Tarts are a great value for cost and taste.
No place to eat in but great for picking up and enjoying at home. If you get any tart, make sure you sneak one in after the purchase even if it’s in your car as it is really good.

The chicken pie and the po tart are so freaking delicious! This has to be my favorite spot so far. I can't stop thinking about them.

One of the best local bakery and a very friendly girl with the softest voice at the cashier. Had to wait a few more minutes in the morning due to their bakery truck barely on time, but definitely worth the time just chilling at the table inside the store, that extra 10min felt like a breeze, though a few customers came in just to leave lol Great experience there and would definitely go again, even if have to wait again :D
