“ I can't believe the last time I reviewed Jim's Bakery was in 2021. It is the last quarter of 2024 and I am back with an updated review. EVERY item I've tried from Jim's Bakery is very good. From the taste to the amount of filling to the pricing - no one does it better than Jim's Bakery when it comes to Hong Kong style bakery. I do have my usual favorites that I recommend: mini hot dog buns, pork sung and green onion roll, BBQ pork pineapple bun, beef curry bun, curry beef pie, BBQ pork puff pastry, po tart, and egg tart. Their mango whole cake is absolutely amazing. It has plenty of fresh mangoes layered with a soft sponge cake. Another plus is that it isn't too sweet. There are so many Hong Kong bakeries in this area and if I could only choose one, Jim's Bakery is the one place I recommend checking out! ”
“ Stopped by after lunch since we were in the area. There's lots of parking in the lot. Walked in and there were about 5 people in line but service was really fast. Got an egg tart, Portuguese egg tart, curry beef pastry, chicken pie, and durian roll. Egg tarts were still warm when I got it. I tried the egg tarts and they were pretty good. The crust was very buttery and flaky. The egg custard was a tad on the sweeter side but would be perfect with a cup of tea. If I had to choose between the egg tarts, I would get the Portuguese egg tart again. ”
“ Jim Bakery is my favorite spot for egg tarts and po tarts. I love the thickness of the custard and the flaky crust. I also tried their other baked items and cakes, and they're all really good. Their cakes are affordable as well. They're located in the same plaza as NBC Seafood and LA Fitness in Monterey Park. Parking is decent but can get busy around lunchtime. Despite the occasional parking struggle, the delicious pastries and friendly service make it well worth the visit! ”
“ This is one of my go to spots when I am craving Chinese bread. I love their pineapple bun with custard. It is so good and the bread is so soft and chewy. I also love their coconut cream bun here. The whipped cream inside is so delicious and not overly sweet. I've also had their baked bbq pork bun and although good, the meat inside isn't hot, so I usually eat it at home so I can warm it up. I've had their raisin bread and taro bread too and both are good too. I don't usually like to buy a lot of bread at a time because it doesn't taste fresh anymore after 2-3 days. The only suggestion I have for this bakery is to have all the bread for the day prepared and ready by the time they open. I've been here several times during opening hour and only a few bread are available for purchase because they are still prepping the rest. ”
“ Card and cash accepted. One of our go-to for mango birthday cake! Cake is always fluffy and not too sweet. I always call in to reserve one before arriving just in case they sell out that day. So glad I always do. One time I arrived there was a line of about 5-6 people ahead and a lady ahead of me wanted a mango cake, bakery said they're sold out on a Tuesday morning. There were 3 on reserve, one of them was mine. Their egg tarts are great and I always grab some along with some buns they have laying out. ”
