The cocktail buns are consistently well filled with their coconut fillings and have a tender outer bun. My family really likes how soft and satisfying these buns are to eat. I tried my Portuguese egg tart first. The pastry shell is known as a thousand layer pastry with its delucate, very flaky texture and slighty savory flavour that balances the creaminess and sweet of the egg custard. I found the custard texture with its broiled surface to be as smooth and almost as creamy as the custard filled in The He Made Portuguese tart. Almost and very close. The other flaky egg tart was similar in taste and texture in both the pastry and custard but I think Kam Do bakery's version of their Portuguese egg tart is a really good second to He Made. The flaky egg tarts are also available in a cookie crust too. For $2.45 each at this bakery it is excellent value for the money when you can't get a piece in the best. The service at this bakery is very well organized to keep line ups moving. The interior is well lit with organized and labeled shelves of baked goods ready to take home. Self serve from these shelves. They also have a refrigerated section for prepared fruit filled cakes and Swiss rolls to go. Cash and cards. No American Express accepted though. Join the hungry crowds who recognize value, consistency and variety.

I would love to revisit and try other items when and if we make another trip to the Pacific Northwest. They only accept cash or Canadian debit card. There is an ATM at the shopping mall next door.

They have a fairly small selection and sell out of items over the course of the day, so they're not a great after dinner dessert place, and the prices are fairly high considering the small portion sizes, but if you don't mind the price and can hazard the parking here, it's worth a visit. The person who works here (the owner?) seems really into providing good service, but this place just opened and they're still getting things figured out, so there can be a bit of a wait even when you're only in line behind one or two people. Based on how much the owner seems to care about good service and good food, I'd expect to this to improve over time, but I'll have to check back here to see how the service is in a few months.

Last December, I was lucky enough to win a prize package from Kam Do Bakery from a contest they…read moreheld on social media. I received with a box of assorted pastries, a box of wife cakes, and $30 in gift cards. This is my honest review of my visit and I wasn't required to post a review. When I came into the store, the staff were confused about what I was trying to pick up at first, but it was quickly resolved when the manager came to the front counter and I explained to her that I was one of the contest winners. The queue was short because not many customers was inside at the time so I was in and out pretty quickly. The store area was spacious and there were quite a lot of pastries on display. The pastries i received were beautifully boxed. They could definitely be presented as gifts to loved ones or work colleagues. The box was gold and red, with a golden foiled design on the lid and a gold string ribbon to keep the lid closed. The pastries themselves were gorgeous. Just looking at them made my mouth water. They were soft and crumbly to the touch. The buns of the pastry were buttery and the outer layer was very flaky with every bite. Some of the pastry buns had sesame seeds sprinkled on the top. They were all baked perfectly. The inside fillings were quite sweet but no overly sweet. There was no indication on the box on what kind of pastries they were so im not totally sure what kind of pastries i received. Some had a sweet tasting filling with an egg yolk or a century egg center, just red bean paste, or just some other type of sweet filling. I shared the pastries with my family over afternoon green tea and they were a hit! My family loved them. The wife cakes I received were very soft, tasted delicious, and sweet but not as sweet as the assorted pastries. They were filled with winter melon filling, i believe. They were also made a great pairing when they were served with tea. They were all individually wrapped with plastic wrap which helped keep them fresh. The boxed was also nicely designed with gold and red colors. My family really liked them. Overall, i think Kam Do bakery is one of the best Chinese bakeries in Richmond. Gotta give them 5 stars for their absolutely delicious pastries.

They clearly saw us there, but continued to fold boxes anyway. Be forewarned, they only accept cash or Canadian debit card. We tried just a few items ... 1. Coffee milk tea (1/5) Super watered down coffee and it was way too sweet. It was a waste of money 2. Cheese Tart (4/5) At least the cheese tart was good. It had a nice cheesecake flavor but in tart form. Overall, I'd skip this place if you're a visitor in the area.

I discovered this bakery more than 10 years ago. The first time I tried their pumpkin toast bread,…read morepork floss toast bread, and taro toast bread, it was a memorable experience with these amazing breads. Since their shop opened, I have found similar types of Chinese bread in other shops; however, I have never changed my opinion that this shop offers one of the best Chinese bakeries in the Lower Mainland. I visited this bakery again and tried the chocolate bread this time. It seems to be a new product. It was another amazing one. The chocolate sponge on the outside was very fluffy and soft, and the bread inside was chewy and soft. It seems they might use rice flour or something similar. Anyway, I was amazed by their products again. Their signature items, such as pumpkin bread, taro bread, and pork floss bread, are a must-try. The bread's texture is so soft and chewy, and the fillings are perfectly balanced. Compared to before, the prices have increased a bit; however, their bread is worth trying if you have a chance to visit Richmond.

We went…read moreto another Pine House Bakery but in Vancouver to look for the Chinese Cookies, also known as Phoenix Cookie or 鸡仔饼, but didn't have the taste I was looking for. I guess there might be different owners and chefs for each of these bakeries. There's different style and ways folks make the 鸡仔饼 but this specific location makes it super well vs others. The flavor is different, and I use this one to compare to others. They also have other pastries and goods like a pineapple bbq pork bun, pineapple custard bun, cakes, etc. This location is located inside Parker Place, and with lots of other small shops and restaurants. Lots of parking too.

I don't know what's in this magical cookie, but it's sweet and savory with hits of umami. It's definitely giving lap cheong essence and we're here for it. Yum!
