Came for milk bread Overall not a stand out bakery, would not recommend you coming out of your way here. The baked goods weren't super fresh looking. They have a $15 card minimum which is lame considering Paris Baguette and similar bakeries don't do that. Overall I was too lazy to drive to a different place and didn't want the milk bread in the 99 ranch market so Kee Wah was the option for the day. I was not impressed by the options. I would recommend stopping by 85 degrees bakery, even the little Tokyo bakery into that Little Tokyo market would be better read more

We stopped by for a last-minute birthday cake for my father-in-law. We came here specifically because I know their cakes are not overly sweet; my wife got me a birthday cake from another location last year, and my in-laws loved it while I hated it. I figured they would like one from here. My father-in-law didn't want a cake for his birthday, but I still wanted to get him something. They were all out of cakes, so we were about to leave when my wife suggested we get individual cakes instead. We got a few chestnut and strawberry cakes. They were okay, but not my favorite; however, my in-laws liked them. I wouldn't come here for cakes personally, but for non-sweet-loving relatives, this is the place to go. The staff were very kind and helpful! read more

A reliable bakery that has tasty pineapple buns, hot dog buns, & bbq pork puff pastries. I've been coming here for years and love picking up pastries from here for the family because there's something for everyone to enjoy. They can run out before end of day, so would recommend calling ahead to see! read more

Kee Wah Bakery is pretty good. I really enjoy their savory breads and sweet ones too. I just think the savory ones are better. I'd most definitely come back and try more. read more

This review is specifically for one of their birthday cakes, the napoleon taro . The visuals don't disappoint! This was a monster of a cake. Fed 20 people easily. Friend ordered it in advance for a party. Taste wise, it could've been a little more moist. The taro layer wasn't as creamy as we'd like but I appreciated the use of ACTUAL taro (not the artificial stuff). The napolean layers were crispy. The cake as a whole wasn't too sweet. The middle cake layer is dry without the cream that the sides had. The fruit was a great touch. Cheaper than other places for similar cakes so overall a good deal! read more

I ordered this birthday cake for my boss two weeks ago. The lady on the phone was very nice. No deposit needed. I could just order the cake on the phone and tell them when I was going to pick it up. Decent price. Cake is so fresh and delicious. I will definitely go back to order this bday cake again whoever I know love chestnut bday cake. read more

Kee Wah Bakery - 8-inch chestnut cake - Bakeries Near Me - Monterey Park, California

This is hands down the best bakery in SoCal. While Sheng Kee in the Bay Area has fluffier bread and more cream (albeit maybe too much), the prices here are also extremely fair and the breads are classic Taiwanese- and Hong Kong-style offerings. They do make you pay in cash if you don't hit $15 (which is harder than it sounds). read more

One of my favorite bakeries in the area. They have a wide selection of different types of sweet bread, sliced bread, cakes, egg, tarts, etc. Couple of my favorites are the pineapple bun (bolo), royal pineapple bun, and their hotdog bun. The cakes are great for birthdays, they aren't overly sweet. The prices are reasonable. Plenty of parking since the share is a lot with other businesses an area like 99 ranch. read more

Egg tarts! Tried two of each. Original has that barely-sweet egg-pudding filling. Crispy is the same with a crunchier crust, but I think the original is fine. Portuguese is sweeter and has a more caramelized texture. They're good, just make sure you like egg because these are very egg-y. They make solid bread-pastries as well. Can't go wrong with a good pineapple bun. All good here, and I'm glad I got to try the OG place. Will be back for mooncakes when the season starts. read more

It's almost moon festival, kee wah has their own brand of moon cake for sell. Kee wah is also a good brand in Hong Kong. One regular moon cake is around $16, and the tiny one is $6.75. during this time I don't see any birthday cake on sell because the display are now filled with moon cakes. The minimum charge to use a credit card is $15 dollars. read more

Kee wah eggtart never disappoints. We got both portugese and traditional hk. Both are good, depends what you like. They're around 2.25-2.50 each- not super cheap but worth it. The lady staffs are all so nice. It's custardy but not runny. The eggy flavor is just right. And the tart's hold up well. Nice little breakfast with coffee or afternoon snack. The bread is all fully stocked with a lot of variety too. Very affordable and so far everything taste good. This one is the MPK location. Kinda hidden, located in the 99ranch plaza. read more

One of the things I gotta get used to in LA is the open malls they have here. They have a lot of shops lined up like this. This is my first time in Kee Wah Bakery since they don't have this chain in NYC. I was trying to find a non flaky crust egg tart and this was the only place that had it. It was a bit pricey but was super delicious. It was the best I had in LA so far. The other thing I tried were the Pineapple Cakes. Apparently they make it themselves. The filling was good but the cookie dough was a bit too dry for my tastes. They also sell homemade moon cakes which I didn't get to try. I would love to come back here next time I visit the area. I wish they open early. They don't open until 9:30am and close early too. read more

Kee Wah saved the day! After going to Diamond Bakery across the street to find out that they ran out of egg tarts by 3pm, Kee Wah had plenty as they just made a fresh batch. $2.25 each for the original Hong Kong style. Needed these for a holiday party/surprise birthday and the lady was so nice when I asked if she had a birthday candle, she gave me one even though I did not buy a cake. She packed them in a nice and secure to go box and they were a hit! Everyone loved them, how can you go wrong with egg tarts? They make a nice dessert and alternative to a birthday cake when you don't really need the big size of a cake. read more

Hands down, it is the best Chinese bakery, especially for its moon cake! They have so many different options for moon cake. For the white lotus ones, they offer 0-4 egg yolk. The prices increase as the yolks quantity. read more

I consider myself a milk powder bread connoisseur and they have one of the best ones I've ever had. The bolo on top is sweet and crumbly without being overly greasy and has a generous filling of milk powder. read more

Solid Chinese bakery where I always stop in after a trip to 99 ranch in the same parking lot. I mostly wanted to check out the moon cakes. I missed the moon festival amidst a super host schedule lately. Sadly moon cakes (on the pricier side) are sold regular price still after the moon festival is past. Nothing on special. Nice selection though. read more

A small bakery located in the same plaza as the 99 Ranch Market and not too much of a selection left when I came by. I used to come here to get cakes back in the day. Everything is rather pricey for the size, especially those gift boxes. I got some pineapple buns and a slice of cake. I did not like the cake. read more

Their pastries are priced right, the quality is there, and the place is always clean and neatly organized. You won't find Asian pastries better than this in the 626! My favorite is the hot dog bun (been a favorite ever since I was a little girl ). My mom loves the ham & egg bun, which I've only ever seen at Kee Wah, and my dad's go-to is the coconut cream bun. They also make lovely dan tats (egg tarts) and Asian-styled fruit cakes! Also the staff is so friendly and sweet . Highly recommend! read more

Good ol reliable! My family has been going to Kee Wah Bakery for over 20 years. All of your Asian bakery needs. You can't go wrong! - birthday sheet cakes - fruit tarts - pastries - Asian breads (sweet and savory) - individual cake slices - moon cake boxes - egg tarts/Portuguese tarts (my favorite!) The aunties who work there are always so nice whenever I walk in. Parking is shared with 99 ranch. It can get kinda crazy but there are plenty of spots. read more

Kee Wah Bakery - Mango cake - Bakeries Near Me - Monterey Park, California

Been customers for ages and love their breads cakes puffs cookies ... Sad to say their quality is on a downward trend lacking in TLC and enthusiasm. We always waited for them to open so to get them fresh & warm like in Hong Kong. Today's order was very disappointing as the meat were one block not crumbly & moist with gravy - the others were over bake & dry too. They used to post baking times so people can get them piping hot. Everyone appreciates a hot warm fresh pastry like ordering a pizza - imagine pizza or fried rice cold. Really hope they look into the quality control and reconsider putting out the hot baking schedule again & they can bag them off the tray not let customers help themselves because some really misbehave like hitting the pastry with the tong - why? May be pay the employees base 80% normal salary plus profit share. They have to live off/care about the profit then and not the i just work there air. read more

After having been to the location in San Gabriel, this one seems to have much nicer staff. They're patient and happy to explain the difference between some buns that look the same. Buns are still baked fresh, I really do like the post pandemic change where the staff will collect the buns for you behind the counter. The prepackaged items are still available for you to peruse. read more

Must try, pastries are so yummy and fresh and they have a great variety to choose from. They have a menu at the cashier where you can point at if you aren't sure how to order. The lady was nice and helpful when we were ordering our egg tarts and curry buns. They are pricey but it is worth it for special occasions! Well known place to order food from if you want to impress guests. I love the box it comes in. It's a little cramped inside, it's one way in and out. read more

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. read more

Kee Wah has been 1 of my favorite brands from childhood and imagine how happy I was when this location opened 1985. I have enjoyed their moon cakes, egg tarts, bolo bao and then their milk tea and lemon tea. Although there is a Kee Wah Bakery in Cupertino, I don't go there often, because it doesn't feel the same. The girlfriend assures me the food tastes the same and she is right, but experientially, she is wrong. I know the ladies there. I know the layout. When I come here, it feels right and I do come every time I am in the SGV. These past 2 trips home I introduced 2 friends to Kee Wah, MP. I brought them here after an afternoon of doing touristy stuff in J-town and DTLA. We had milk tea and bolo yau; and, of course, they loved it. They are native San Franciscans and have never been to Kee Wah and did not know about the brand's rich history. I told them to come to LA with me more often and they will love Kee Wah MP. read more

Happy Mid-Autumn Mooncake Festival to all!  The son ordered us a generous assortment of mooncakes and kiddie friendly cookies from Kee Wah Bakery to celebrate.  Kee Wah is a long standing Hong Kong institution and a premier maker of mooncakes and they have some retail stores in the LA area like this flagship Monterey Park location.   You pay premium prices for premium products here, but mooncakes are an expensive specialty item anywhere you look actually.  Don't dilly-dally at this time of year if you want to order as they are already out of stock for this year's Festival season on their more popular products. Their boxes and packaging are handsome and the mail order handling was good and reliable. read more

Parking is shared with 99 ranch, Capital seafood restaurant, and wing hop fung. I've decided to try their pineapple bun (bolo bun) and it was delicious. I normally love their egg tarts, but was craving bun. With COVID-19, they have an employee standing outside and you tell them what you want and they'll get it for you. It's fast service. I've got a vanilla roll cake because this is the place I normally get it for my relative's birthday.. love all the sweets they have. Super fresh read more

Chinese bakery location in the same plaza as 99 Ranch - so yes, parking sucks so be careful. The store is located next to Noodle Harmony. Breads and baked goodies were decent. Service is actually not bad for a Chinese establishment. Would come back if I am too lazy to go to 85 Degree or JJ Bakery. read more

I have waited too long to write this review. I keep giving this bakery another chance but they just keep getting me disappointed. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING IN HERE! I use to buy their cakes for birthdays and such but the quality has definitely decreased a lot. Workers lie to you when you ask them if it is fresh and made today. They say yes to make you feel better. But do not trust them and buy their cakes. This is not the first time I bought the roll cakes from here. Both times I bought it, the cake is dry. If it is fresh, it should be moist! Do not buy any cakes unless you preorder them. I only like their bolo pineapple bread and sometimes the egg tarts. Go spend your money somewhere else. Go to diamond for cakes! Or Jim's bakery for egg tarts read more

It used to be that I could find their mooncakes on the East Coast, and that was my first I love their pastries, and everything about them is on point. I particularly LOVE their mazai crispies. They have different flavors and you aren't stuck with some place that likes to put raisins in them (I personally despise raisins in my mazai. Everything comes in delightful packaging. I wish they had bakeries in NY! Please someone open a franchise here! read more

Little late on the posting for this review but i came during Covid where you can't traditionally pick up your pastries yourself but... how they transformed such a old school store to be fully functioning and efficient in a pandemic was amazing to me. The pastries are still as amazing as they tasted when i was a toddler. I recommend the hot dog buns and i'm also a sucker for fruit tarts hehe. They were also giving out free gifts with purchases depending on how much you spend! *If you're asian american you would know the traditional cute paper calendars that just show up on your wall at home and you never know where your parents or grandparents get it from... well now you do ! hahhaha read more

Was greeted immediately. You can tell these aunties talking in cantonese about their customers and how they give them the stale bakery goods. They help you but give you the very old bread and cakes. This place is bad!!! Stay away..their cake is old and dried!! read more

Always my go to Chinese Bakery when I head up to LA to visit the in-laws. Service is quick and efficient and I always order the egg tarts to eat immediately while it is still warm. I also get the Bolo Buns and sponge cakes to go so I can bring to work as a snack or for breakfast. Both pair well with my early morning coffee. Their other baked goods and cakes are good as well and definitely worth a try! read more
