The ladies are always nice when I visit and everything is good. I really like the curry bun, baked cha siu bao and pineapple custard buns especially. I've gotten the tins of shortbread cookies with various animals as gifts for my mom before. They're so cute. Had the best mooncake of my life here. Pretty expensive, I think it was $6 and was only about 3 bites! But wow, was it good and an adorable panda shape. It was strawberry yogurt filled. Perfect mini size as a small gift or to try various types.

Was in the area visiting for some work happened to be staying at a hotel across the road.....and got really excited when I first arrived and noticed this Kee Wah Bakery directly across the road! For me, I had always known Kee Wah for their moon cakes and that's it, but I heard that they made fresh egg tarts too, so there was no way I was going to pass up a good egg tart! And as luck would have it, they had three kinds! There was their Signature Egg Tarts, Portuguese Egg Tarts, and their Kee Wah Original Egg Tarts. The difference between the three are that the Signature egg tarts have a flaky crust and the Original egg tarts have more of a crusty cookie shellt. As for the egg fillings, both the Signature and Original have a glassy smooth finish, whereas the Portuguese egg tarts have a scorched carmelized finish. All equally yummy, all equally freshly baked hot, all so hard to stop eating! I thought these egg tarts were a bit sweeter than I prefer, so it really depends on your own individual preference. As for the store, the place looked really fun.....like a toy store with very colorful goodies surrounding you....everything was so tempting, but I tried hard to stay focused on what I came here for.....Egg Tarts! Very happy I got to come here today to try one of my all time favorite desserts.

Tiny bakery with lots of cute desserts and even cuter packaging. So many reviews raving about this place that I feel bad giving it one star. I came in half hour before closing and while their packaged sweets looked adorable, their fresh baked goods honestly looked a little sad. That should've been my out but I had a long day of running errands, its raining, I didn't want to make another stop. I just wanted to treat myself to something sweet as a little pick me up. I ended up purchasing a small Napoleon cake. Got home and couldn't wait to try a piece. IT WAS SO DISAPPOINTING !! Nothing but a dry sponge cake with NO frosting in between and some wafers to give it a little texture. After the first bite I thought to myself this can't be right. So I gave it another shot and got a spoonful right in the middle. Same thing. The layers were all so dry and lacked the buttery richness I expected. In the trash it went. Won't be coming back to try other items.

Growing up in Hong Kong, Kee Wah Bakery was a household name. I remember eating lots of their cakes and baked bread as a kid. Every time I'm in Los Angeles, I always try to pick up a few items before heading back to Sacramento.I really enjoy their handmade cookies, black sesame eggrolls (wafer rolls), and mango short cake. The hard part is not buying too much!The older ladies that work there are always friendly and chatty. Reminded me so much of Hong Kong!Parking can be tricky and limted in this area. I usually stay at Hilton San Gabriel across the street and walk over.

Last thrusday, we ordered a black forest 8 inch cake by phone and said we will pick it up on Saturday 11/4. At that morning, we did call again and ask for opening hours and tell them we will pick it up around 5pm. We show up at 5, and then... THEY TOLD US THEY GAVE OUR CAKE TO ANOTHER CUSTOMER BY ACCIDENT!!! I was like wth?? Are you serious?? This cake is for 2 people birthday and both of them love black forest cake! We would like to suprise them but Kee Wah staff ruin everything and they can't solve the problem and dont even act like its their fault too. End up we went to Sunny barkey which is the closer barkey shop to get a chocolate cake instead. Lucky they still have chocolate cake even it's not a black forest.

Premiere Chinese bakery that has been known for probably three generations and maybe more. From their Hong Kong roots to here they make some of the best Chinese pastries that many try to imitate.From popular favorites like the Egg Tarts to hard-to-find Curry Pork Pastries, there is something for everyone here. There are also seasonal favorites such as Moon Cakes, and special occasion items for holidays and Social events.Sign up for their frequent flyer program and let the points get you freebies.

I always go for their bolo huns but their cakes were super dry... didn't like it at all
Cute little bakery with lots of fun snacks! I went about 2ish weeks ago to get mooncakes for mid autumn moon festival and was not disappointed! Got a mini lotus moon cake with one yolk and pineapple bread with custard and they were both so yummy! Not too sweet and just a bit salty Service was quick! I was in and out fast! will come back when I'm craving moon cake again!

First time here to buy mooncake They are the only one that sell mix nuts & ham mooncake which I love.The store front is very small, filled with all their products, not much room to move around.I bought 2 of the mooncake together with a bag of crispy egg rolls with cashews nuts ( which is imported from China) probably not make fresh there, not sure of the moon cakes either,I cut one of the mooncake after eating it I found something looks like a string of thread kind of hard (see the pic below) After paying $16 each I expect the best.That's why I gave them 3 stars

Jim's closed today. Came here around 2:30pm and all their breads were sold out. We got curry puff and bbq pork pastries. The crust is perfection. It's flakey and buttery and everything good. Their fillings need more flavor. That is all.

Omg their pork curry bun and coconut butter bun were sooooooooooo good. Their prices are so cheap as well! Me and my daughter ate breakfast for 4$ which saved me so much money. Also the people were so friendly and accommodating to our language barrier. So sweet and kind. I will be back!
