One man runs the shop by himself after his wife died. He’s very nice and makes excellent egg tarts. They’re worth every penny!
My family used to get egg tarts from this bakery every time we'd come up to Dallas, recipe hasn't changed and they're still as delicious, buttery, and fluffy as ever. You do need to make sure to call ahead as they only do takeout, and try to be patient as I'm pretty sure the man who makes the egg tarts is the only one who runs the store and his English is a little broken. Little bit on the pricey side but I still think it's worth it. Give it a try!
Eaten egg tarts from Hong Kong, Houston, to Vancouver.
These in Dallas have a flaky crust with a buttery underside. The egg custard has rich, milky texture. Solid good. Not elite but better than the average.
Note: it’s a one man operation. So if you walk in, you cannot just pick up egg tarts. You need to order prior to coming (so be ready to speak Cantonese or English). It takes 15 minutes to bake for pick up. Peace.

Maria's Chinese Bakery in Richardson offers the best Hong Kong-style Dan Tat egg tarts in the DFW Metroplex. The oven-fresh flaky crust and warm egg custard filling are of exceptional quality. Customers can buy a single tart for $4.99 or a dozen for $29.99.
The small shop provides a nostalgic experience, with a friendly owner who has an inspiring life story. The owner is accommodating and generous, even offering a free custard to a customer who needed to go get cash. The delicious egg custards are described as love at first bite, with customers planning to become regulars.
Customers recommend calling ahead as the shop only offers takeout, and the owner, who is the sole operator, has limited English proficiency. While the shop may have seen better days, the egg tarts remain as delicious as ever - flaky, buttery, and with a rich, milky custard filling. Customers advise being patient and prepared to pay in cash, as the owner does not accept large bills.
