We stumbled upon this little bakery after having lunch next door. I noticed the display case had rows of colorful baos on display, and that was enough to get my curiosity. Inside is small. There are no seats, have mostly packaged foods and whatever is inside the glass case. Our first time, we tried their taro, custard and mung bean baos. A quick heat-up under a wet paper towel in the microwave and they came out warm and soft with a sweet filling. Second visit, I got 4 custard, 2 taro and 2 red bean, and I'm sure these will be equally good like the first time. According to the owner, these will keep in the fridge for about 2 weeks or much kk her in the freezer. Just steam them or try the microwave method to get that soft, pillowy texture again. Royal Bakery appears to be a small family run business, and their baos are quite good. I haven't tried their other sweet or savory buns yet, and that's just a good reason for me to go back again.

One of the best baos I've had! Was about to get quick lunch next door but then decided to get a pork bun instead. The store is small but there were so many sweet and savory buns along with other Asian goodies. The owner was very friendly and gave me fresh ones - the perfectly seasoned meat and egg combined with the warm soft bun was simply delicious. I couldn't help my cravings and got a variety of sweet buns for later which included flavors such as taro, durian, mung bean, and custard. They were cold, but after microwaving for 45 seconds as instructed they were all tasty and a yummy snack later! Prices were very fair and affordable - will definitely be back!

The best place to buy.

Hands down one of the best baos I've tried!! My favorite is their jumbo pork bao. The bao is so fluffy and nicely sweetened on the outside and the inside is filled with pork, sausage, and egg that are perfectly seasoned with a mix of savory/umami and slight sweetness. Because the bao is pretty big and they put in a generous amount of meat inside, I think this could be a substantial snack when you're pretty hungry or even a good light meal. The owner is also super friendly and personable which made the experience even better for me! I will definitely be visiting this place quite often

The bakery that has everything!! Neighborhood bakery for all your Asian goodies! I needed to buy some sesame candy for my engagement ceremony and other bakeries said they don't make it until it's closer to lunar new year. I walked in to this bakery and they had some on the counter! They told me to just call in a few days before my ceremony to double check if they had any and if not to order and they have some ready. They have the best baos and moon cakes and everything needed for those Asian pastry celebration stuff. I would recommend this bakery for those celebratory needs!

Great banh bao, really good bakery

BUN HEAVEN My family always comes here to grab as many Banh Bao as we can before heading up north. I personally came in to grab 30 Banh Bao before heading back and it was kind of hard to find at first but we'll worth it. Pretty sure the owner helped us out and he definitely gave us a good experience! It was a little less than $3 a Banh Bao! I am in love! Coming back soon for sure
I want to give a shout out to Royal Bakery because they have some delicious banh bao. I bought one of the OG pork baos to snack on while we waited for our table at dim sum. It was so good! I ended up going back to buy a dozen of the pork and one of each of the colorful ones to bring back home to SJ. The green one, which was mung bean, was SOOO good. I regret not buying more and I'm definitely gonna make a detour just to buy more of their mung bean banh bao. Bonus points- they accept card! I know a lot of mom and pop shops don't accept cards so this was very cool because I try my best not to carry cash due to safety concerns. Make sure you tip to cover their CC fees or bring cash.

Good place to go. This is the only place in America that I can find the Soft Sesame Candy.

I only got to try the two sweet baos this trip. Previously my friend has gotten us the meat bao for a road trip and those are pretty heavy aka loaded with a pretty compact ball of meat and egg. They're not bad. The green sweet bao has mung bean inside. The first bite was pretty dry in my opinion as it got stuck on the top of my mouth and i couldn't even chew it (I had to manually unstuck it). After that you encounter a generous amount of yellow bean paste inside which is about a 4/5 in sweetness for me. It was warm as they had just made them. The dough isn't the glutenny kind that stretches. It was more like crumbly bread type. Mung bean and taro baos now $1.25. I can't say I am a fan of the baos but wanted to share some pictures and current price which is still not bad.

This place doesn't sell anything other than steamed buns but they're for a dollar and they taste great. We love it! We tried the lotus and mungbean buns. They are smaller than the palm of your hand but the buns are soft and they are not stingy with the filling. The paste is soft and delicious but not too sweet. The best part is, the guy is so nice, he offered to microwave it for us to eat right away. The bun is wrapped with clingfilm and we ate within a couple of minutes. Great afternoon snack. And you can't find any snack for a dollar other than candy bars nowadays. They do sell other dry Asian cookies/nuts but we don't normally look for that in a bakery.
