For egg tarts, easily better than Stockton bakery and house of dim sum. Custard is closest in flavor to what I'm looking for but still not there (think Qiu Quon in Chicago), not is there crust quite there yet either.

There's a good variety of Chinese pastry and buns here at this bakery. I really recommend their coconut cream bun which is soft,creamy,pretty good sized, and has enough balanced custard cream filling to satisfy any sweet tooths craving. They also do good pineapple buns here too. Customers come and go quickly but it's not super crazy crowded like other places. This is one of the few stopping places for a few tour groups. Friendly and helpful staff.

Best custard bun I’ve ever had & that is my go-to item in Chinatowns nationwide.

Very on point old style Cantonese pastry. Egg tarts and pineapple buns are authentic and great.

Come here for delicious egg tarts! Don't spend an hour in line at other places, when this place is just as good when it's fresh out of the oven. Not too sweet and super flaky! I will have to come back to try their other items.

I was noided, but after I ordered lemon tarts I felt better. Zero stars atmosphere because I prefer it this way.

I usually get egg tarts at this location, along with a few breads (mostly bo lo bun - pineapple bread). I prefer the plain ones, however the red bean and taro paste ones are pretty good. Lightly sweet, not too sweet.
The pineapple crust on the buns is not usually crispy or crunchy here, more on the soft, fluffy side. (Try GMK across the street for a more crunchy topping.)
Sometimes there are day-old mystery bags (2 random breads) available. Not sure on exact price per bag, but the mystery is always fun for us to try.
Cakes and slices look fun, but I'm shopping from a request list of very specific items of egg tarts and various breads.
I recently saw milk tarts (whitish custard) with egg tarts (yellow custard) in the same tray. If you are eating the egg tarts at home, try to gently toast them to warm them and crisp up t the edges.
The ladies behind the counter speak English, Cantonese, and Mandarin. They're fair and generally willing to remind others that there's a line.
AA is a prototypical bakery in Chinatown. Rating is comparative. It's got the best egg tarts anywhere. Recommend egg tarts, coconut custard bun, and milk tea as a great combo purchase to enjoy. There is limited seating but we've always found a spot. Most folks buy and take home.
Chinese bakery offering an array of delicious goodies and remarkably good coffee too.

Insanely delicious food and super friendly staff. A single bite of my pastry convinced my friends to walk back a mile to get their own.

We asked if they had 6 egg tarts and they told us they would find us some more. They asked us to pay for 6 egg tarts and wait 10-15 minutes for them only to find out they only gave us 4!! Don’t trust them and make sure you check the taped and tied box before you leave.
Egg tarts were so good.
