    I should've written them a review a long time ago because they deserve it. This bakery has been consistently good for as long as I can remember. I can't speak so much for the cakes, but the breads and pastries have always been delicious and comforting. The fair prices and quality remain consistent and the good variety of Taiwanese pastries/breads keep me a happy customer especially because the next good bakeries like this one are all the way out in 626! Like most bakeries, you'll have the most choices if go earlier in the day.

    I've passed by this bakery over the years but either it was after hours, or wasn't having any cravings for baked items, but I finally did and got to check out this J.J.'s in town. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I don't think this is part of the actual J.J. Bakery (same name, but very different vibe here), but this one has tables and seats in the back and has a more modern look and feel.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There's only two staff members working here at a time - think one is the owner and other is staff. But their bakery selections are of an abundance, with your Pineapple Buns, Taro Buns, Hot Dog Buns, cakes and also drinks. I picked up one of the Melon Flaky Pastry (forget its name...) and also one of their Rice Rolls. Both were pretty good, with the pastry item being my favorite. The Rice Roll was about $5 and the Melon Pastry about $3 (before tax). Their items are fresh, but they serve it all with Irvine prices lol. Two items for almost 10 bucks. Worth the visit though if you're ever wanting some Taiwanese baked goods. Lots of parking here, as it's inside a large shopping plaza.

    If we are comparing pricing for birthday cakes from Asian bakeries, then J.J. Bakery wins for being a more affordable option. I ordered a 8" vanilla chiffon cake with strawberry filling for my boyfriend's dad's birthday. The cake cost $38, which I think is quite affordable in this economy! The cake tasted decent, and there was plenty of fruit on top and inside of the cake; however, it was on the drier side. Also, I was disappointed that the Irvine location did not participate in the Thanksgiving promotion and didn't have any Thanksgiving cakes available for preorder. If you are interested in their seasonal cakes, you are better off ordering at the Rowland Heights location, which does offer seasonal promotions.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love a well decorated bakery. It's honestly so peaceful and aesthetically pleasing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I love that I can spend my adult money on things like this! They did have a $5 minumum cash only so when I grabbed the $4.95 moon cake the cashier told me I had to spend more than $5 to use my card! No biggie. I grabbed green tea cookies and they were very nice! Can't wait to have some with my tea. To my surprise, I really enjoyed the moon cake.

    Chicken Pie - delicious!

    Last minute pop in before my appointment at PureLux. I love Culver Plaza because there is plenty of parking spots and the aisles are nice and wide. [[HIGHLIGHT]]JJ Bakery had shared outdoor seating which is nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Convenient hours too. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It smells heavenly in there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So many choices too. I had a Chicken Pie and it was fresh, warm and delicious!!! Ok, bye.

    young owner man gave to me for FREE to try it.  This the nicest thing for all the wealth, health, & blessings your way.

    I was there waiting for a coconut bun about an hour an a half. The young owner was so so very helpful, nice, great customer service ever. I asks him question about the items in the bakery. He then gave me forFREE to go try the all coconut bread. No ever give anyone anything for free now a days but, this young owner gentleman was so generous gave me this for free. I did purchase 4 item before he graceful offered me to take it and try it. This young man deserves all the blessing, health , wealth for himself & his business. I just can't say enough of how generous & kind hearted person he is. I hope he gets to see this post for is one in a million. Thank you so very much. Once again I wish you & your business all the wonders of good blessings alw

    5 Stars ALL THE WAY! I have no idea why this place only has three stars because if there were six stars available, that's what I would give this wonderful bakery! We discovered this place on our last trip from Vegas and when we were back in the area, we could not wait to get back here. Everything is so super fresh and it's not overly sweet. My husband and I always look forward to loading up on baked goods to keep in the hotel room and enjoy while we're visiting California and in the area. I really enjoyed the winter melon and read Bean pastries I had. My husband got quite a few croissant looking pastries one had tarot in it and it was absolutely delicious again not crazy sweet and the bread was so super soft & fresh. they have a beautiful case, filled with different kinds of cakes and all kinds of other delicious treats. I do not understand why this place is not 5 stars. In fact my husband wanted to come back and load up on treats to take home to Vegas!

    Panda bread & ham and egg sandwich
    Miranda C.

    I came here for a quick snack/lunch! The egg and ham sandwich was good! Bread was soft and there was good amount of mayo throughout the sandwich. I also grabbed the "panda bread" which is a chocolate cake like bread that is wrapped around white bread. The chocolate part of the bread was pretty moist but the white bread part was too dry. I did enjoy the combination of these two breads though. Service was nice and quick. The cashier was very friendly and smiley. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are a few booths towards the side of the store if you want to sit and eat.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Other than that, it's your typical grab and go bakery.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They had a large assortment of sweet and savory breads, sandwiches, pastries, and cakes as well.

    No more breakfast

    Came here to try their breakfast but they no longer serve it. Lots of parking in this plaza.

    This bakery is so underrated! I came in on a late night to pick up a last minute cake and they have a huge selection to choose from. I love how they have different sizes! I opted for a medium cake and it was the perfect size. They also threw in a "happy birthday" sign which was so sweet and thoughtful! We got the tiramisu cake and it was delicious.

    Some of the BEST Taiwanese food we've had in Orange County! King Chops absolutely impressed us, and…read morewe'll definitely be coming back. The crispy pork chop plate is a MUST-ORDER. The pork chop was perfectly seasoned, super crispy on the outside, and incredibly satisfying. They also give you a generous portion, so you definitely get your money's worth. The braised pork rice was another favorite. The pork was so tender that it practically melted in your mouth, and it paired perfectly with the rice. But the biggest surprise for us was actually the cucumber salad! It reminded us of a kimchi-style cucumber, but we thought this one was even better. It was super fresh and crunchy, with the perfect amount of garlic and a great balance of flavors. The service was also quick, polite, and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. Their teas were great too! Overall, King Chops is definitely a spot we'd recommend if you're craving Taiwanese food. We'll absolutely be back!

Depending on the current promotions, I've seen additional coupons for UCI students or for BOGO half off. I like coming here to get authentic Taiwanese food. Reminiscing old times with aunties and uncles eating at night markets. They definitely use fresh vegetables and cook their soy sauce eggs well. The dried pork chop has all spice flavoring with a hint if white pepper and black pepper. So good. Staff is good and efficient. Just have to pay attention if you are taking food to go as she yells out the number in Chinese first and then English. So if you aren't nearby or listen carefully you will miss your order.

Great location & great plaza though with so many options and so much going on here - that's why it's so crowded! Ambiance - interior is beautiful and vibes are nice. Most restaurants had a long wait - but this one, we could get seated at an actual booth immediately. Service was good, very friendly and attentive. My friend and I ordered Beef Skewers, Chicken Skewers, & Mapo Tofu & Ground Pork with Rice, Orange Chicken, & Black gold molten custard buns. Food was great - good value for good portion sizes. But orange chicken was a little too sweet. Would definitely recommend and would likely come back!

There were open tables everywhere, so I was surprised by the lack of cleanliness in there that day. A few table tops weren't wiped off (food and water marks left over), and the trash can was overflowing (my pet peeve, so had to minus a point!!). Hopefully they'll be on top of it for next time though. Okay 'nuff said about that... Order up (4 stars for their food): - Pork Chop with Braised Pork Belly Rice (not pictured...my husband said it was just a tad sweeter than what he's used to, but he still enjoyed it!). - Combo #8. Old Fashioned Noodle with Bafang Pork Chop (great flavor and perfect chew on the noods for me. The pork chops were so tender and juicy!). Saw someone order the Beef Noodle Soup...super huge! I heard their dumplings are what they're known for in Taiwan, so I'll have to try that for next time. Yes, I'd still come back since the food didn't disappoint. LOL! CHEERS and happy eating till next time...
