Kee Wah Bakery, Monterey Park 奇華餅家

The bbq pork pastry is hands down the best in have eaten , and I have tried many char-siu pastries and buns in several countries over 5decades. The delightful mouthwatering salty and sweet flavors just pop out , the flakiness of the pastry was heavenly. If you plan to eat any of the eggtarts which are almost as great, have the eggtarts first, then Work your way to the bbq pork pastry. Service was pleasant and professional.

Kee Wah Bakery in Monterey Park is known for its delicious pastries and traditional Chinese baked goods. I recently visited and was thrilled to discover that it was featured in the show "Brothers Sun." The variety of treats, from mooncakes to pineapple buns, is impressive, and everything is fresh. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is inviting. If you're in the area, go and visit them!

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).

I checked one of the review from 7 years ago. Apparently this bakery don't know how to train the employee to be polite to their customer since 7 years ago. I came to this bakery and was asking some questions. Seems like I can either place an order or just go. One more question for this old female employee who can speak Mandarin will delay her time to get off.

Best bolo bun outside of Hong Kong. Especially if you order one to eat right away. They will heat it up for you, and slide in a glorious thick slice of cold butter. The temperature and texture contrast makes the bolo bun with butter irresistible.
