All the staff we very nice & very friendly. They all seemed very genuine in making sure we were not just satisfied but also happy. I grew up in Chinatown & went to school less than a half mile away so Im very familiar with the shops & business culture there. It can take a while for Westerners to get used to the retail style in a lot of Chinatown shops. On the contrary, Kim Hung Bakery treated us better than most the places we go to in South Pasadena. The products were also very traditionally good! If your in Chinatown, stop in for a snack & to say "hi". read more

The mooncakes themselves were really delicious -- the crust was super flaky, and I really liked the texture, size, and moistness. Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed that I didn't get any of the 3 flavors I specifically ordered. I came into the store around 10:30am on 9/23/26 and was the only customer there. I asked the employee for the Wintermelon and Lotus mooncakes while pointing to them on display. We even had a little conversation about how to say "Wintermelon" in Chinese. I also made sure to repeat my order multiple times. Then I asked for one Red Bean cake, and she mentioned that it cost a little more because it came with an egg yolk, which was totally fine. I actually saw her take one mooncake out from a specific box set (instead of the trays on display) and put it in my bag. I was really excited to go home and try all 3 flavors I had ordered. But when I opened the bag, unfortunately none of them were what I ordered. I believe I received Mixed, Taro, and Date instead. They were all delicious, so I do recommend these mooncakes if you're looking for some in Chinatown. I just felt really disappointed because I was very clear about the flavors I wanted, and I had repeated the order several times. I'm not sure if maybe the trays or labels got mixed up, but I really don't think it was a communication issue on my end because I was very specific. I know mistakes happen, but I was really looking forward to those 3 specific flavors, so it was a bummer to get home and realize I didn't receive any of them :-( they were still yummy though! read more

My family has been coming here for the past 10 plus years for their sponge cake. I can eat them for daysssssss like chips. It soft and spongy and my favorite part is eating the top and bottom part of the sponge cake. After all these years, the quality and taste remain consistently great. read more

Literally a couple steps from Phoenix and SO unassuming, but super great! We got the butter roll cake and the cake was so dense and tasted really high quality (more like a castella cake than sponge). The cream was more pudding texture than whipped cream like typical roll cakes, but I liked it! Also, only $1??? HOW We also tried the chicken cookies for my friend's nostalgia and she said they taste like others she's had, except they're usually more thick/chewy. I will definitely be back because I saw a variety of $1.50 cakes that I need in my life hehe read more

**September 2021 Visit: LA Mask Mandate Enforced** I had a parent gift me mooncakes from this bakery, so I thought I would come check out the original store. From my understanding this is a Vietnamese bakery that specializes in various mooncakes and other baked goods. I've tried the following on two visits. Brown Crust: This is probably what most people think of when you say mooncake. It's the cantonese style with a more doughy exterior and there are many different filling flavors to choose from. Some have egg and some don't, but I think I prefer without egg. Each box has a different price-point. 25+ a box of four. White Crust: This is a Vietnamese style and it tastes lot like mochi! The outside is shaped the same as a traditional brown mooncake and this particular one had a design of a lotus flower. The inside has a smooth paste consistency. I really enjoyed this and it would make for an excellent dessert! They sold them by the box, but individually it was $6. Flaky Round Pastry: These are the Teochow styles. The exterior is flaky. On this visit I tried both winter-melon and lotus filled. The lotus is smooth and the winter-melon has many crunchy and different textures. Each was $5. I think they also sell other baked goods, but since I visited during the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival weekend these were their primary items in stock. I'll have to come back to try their sponge cakes! read more

Ahead of the Mid-Autmn Festival (Moon Festival, Mooncake Festival, Autumn Solstice, Chuseok, Tsukimi, Tet Trung Thu, and I'm sure it goes by other names in other cultures), this place makes the best Mooncake I have ever had. If in SoCal, make the effort, try this place, it is truly one of a kind. The two I chose for this year is the "00" which I am told has two eggs and is delicious. And the other "12" is one of my all time favorites with Mung bean and Durian paste. My mom and I also really like the Banh In Dau Xanh a kind of white pastry with white mung bean filling. We were fortunate enough that this bakery has a vendor right outside our favorite noodle house in Santa Ana (Trieu Chau). Have a safe and happy moon festival everyone! read more

I was in the mood for sponge cake - truly craving it after a hearty lunch, and saw this place on Yelp. I was a little disappointed to see after walking here from my Chinatown lunch that they were out of sponge cake. The disappointment didn't last too long since I was able to snag a slice of their butter roll (I call them cake rolls) for $1. It wasn't sponge cake, but it was delicious and had a custard creaminess in between the roll that I treasured. Definitely a wonderful snack and I ate it while walking to my next destination. The bakery itself is pretty casual, and maybe someday I'll try their sponge cake. I came in around 2:30 or a little earlier so I was surprised they'd run out, but I also don't know what their rotation is or baking schedule. read more

Wow! This little place is great. If you don't feel like waiting in a long line at Phoenix Bakery then Kim Hung is just a stones throw away! I stopped in to see what sort of items they had and I was not disappointed. The young guy behind the counter was very friendly and told me a little bit about the different fillings in the wives cakes. I settled on winter melon and lotus. I just took a bite of the winter melon and again all I can say is wow! The flavor is just fantastic. I have never tried anything like it. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Delicious lemon cake! We got a good sized piece for only $3. The cake was so fluffy and moist! It had just the right amount of sweetness and perfect tart lemon flavor. We thought we'd have a few bites and save some for later but we couldn't stop eating it - wish we got the strawberry to try too! Definitely stop by if you're in Chinatown and looking for a sweet snack! read more

Hands down One of my favorite bakery's in Chinatown. I love eating their bread for breakfast, as breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

I bought these southern desserts from a stand outside the trieu chou restaurant at the westminister. Chicken biscuits are crunchy delicious, just a hint of salt and animal fat. The egg base butterfly dessert has a coat of sweetener on top, not exactly the same as the Cantonese version. Grateful that the shop has dispatched good stands in these popular chinese shopping plaza, I wish they can have the goods available in the Chinese grocery market. read more

Kim Hung Bakery is truly a hidden gem. I ordered the lotus seed pastry, which I can not recommend enough. The crust is buttery and flaky, while the filling is rich without being overwhelmingly sweet. Their lotus seed filling has the perfect consistency on top of being delicious. Additionally, the customer service is great! The man who was helping me offered to cut my pastry into neat little fourth servings (which I took him up on but ate the whole thing in one go whoops). He was really helpful and even directed me to a different business when I asked about a product unavailable at the time! A great small business with devotion to community and quality I will definitely be returning to (: read more

I was looking to buy moon cakes and I'm so glad I stopped by at this bakery. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and super fun to talk to! Got 2 moon cakes and a taro pastry, which they boxed for me very nicely. They all tasted amazing! Although moon cakes are only available before the mid autumn festival, I will definitely be back for the taro pastry. Highly recommend. read more

Today I discovered Kim Hung Bakery in Chinatown. What a find! I was looking for sesame balls with no luck. But the owner was wrapping fresh moon cakes. I had tried to buy them in Asia but it was the wrong time of the year. I bought one to share with my husband. The fresh pastry and the lotus filling were so good I went back and bought four more to share with friends. This will always be on my list of stops in Chinatown. read more

This was by far the best human interaction I've had in a long time, great service, great hospitality, and of course great food I loved every second of me being there and enjoyed each bite of food will be coming back soon read more

Small lil Mom and Pop bakery shop - named after my brother and I - heheh, jk, but it does have our names. Simple, no frills bakery shop. My favorite thing they sell there is the sponge cake $1.50 (used to be $1). It's 6 inches of light, fluffy, moist vanilla scented sponge cake. Great lil snack you can eat on the go. They also sell ones with whipped cream in the middle, but doesn't look too appealing. Parking: One metered parking spot in front. There's also an alley way parking area, and you can try parking in the Phoenix Bakery parking lot, but make sure you don't get towed, lol! read more

WOW no reviews for this place yet. I actually didn't physically go to the store, but I purchased a bunch of Chinese New Year goodies which were made by this bakery. This man had a makeshift stall set up outside of a restaurant and he was selling a selection of CNY stuff like sweet lotus seeds, peanut candy, sesame candy both black and white, these cakes which resembled 'lo poh beng'. He was letting people sample his wares and I thought I'd just grab a piece to try and that's it. Hubby and I both tried a piece and of course, we were hooked after that. We bought one box of the peanut candy and one with the mix of the three: peanut, white sesame and black sesame. These candies are more like American brittle, but it's not sweet like brittle. The peanuts have a slightly salty flavor and together with the sweetness of the sugar, make a delicious combination. The other important factor is that it has to be very fresh. If the peanut oil go rancid just a tad, the candy would be gross. These were truly fresh, crunchy and absolutely tasty!! read more

This is small shop but everything was so tasty .Also the price really good. They are close a famous bakery shop too make peoples not often to pay attention thus shop but i really think they are good yummy too. read more

We stumbled upon this bakery on one Saturday afternoon as we were strolling in China town and we were looking for afternoon snack. Although their store front is very modest, their pastries and cookies are not. We got lotus seed pastry, winter melon pastry (savory) and almond cookie. Lotus seed pastry stuffing is smooth, moist, fragrant and sweet just as Chaozhou pastry should be. Winter melon stuffing is well balanced between sweet and savory. Pastry crust is delicate and flaky yet moist. Almond cookie is fresh, crunchy and perfectly sugared. The staff is very friendly too. He really expressed that he was happy we stopped by. Kim Hung is our new destination in China town. read more

Came by last Thursday for some last minute moon cake purchase. Fortunately, we ran into Tim and was given great information and suggestions since I didn't know much about Moon cakes. Super friendly staff, and supporting local businesses that are family run makes it all the more satisfying! read more

Has to be the worst place I have ever been too. I ordered a fruit tart and the fruit was extremely dry I don't know how you can even give that to a paying customer on top of that I also ordered a pumpkin tart and as soon as I took a bite it definitely tasted expired. Asked for a refund and the lady denied it. Avoid coming here at all cost. read more

Good mooncake. Excellent customer services! I will try other yummy pastries next time.

One of the best bakeries in town. They have great sponge cake and moon cakes with various tastes

Yum! Their sponge cake makes me happy and sad. Happy when I'm visiting LA and can get it and super sad that no where around where I live can make them like Kim Hung's does! I tried sponge cake at several spots in Chinatown and Kim Hung's was my favorite. Plus at only $1.50 it's a cheap treat to indulge on. The bakery is a bit small but the people have always been nice and the items are extremely well priced. read more

I love buying "cakey" desserts from this bakery! The crunchy peanut tarts are a killer, aside with the chocolate shortcake. Although the star of the show is the sponge cake... remind me of my childhood. The desserts are high quality, freshly baked and you can't honestly beat the price. read more

This is a tiny little bakery at the northern end of Broadway. I've bought goods from it a few times over the years and have completely forgotten until a recent visit, its charms. I was in a mood for bean cakes. Actually not just any bean cake, red bean cake specifically. The more popular bakeries include Queen's (nowhere near as good as it once was), Wonder Bakery (I wonder why its so popular...) and Phoenix (decent). Queen's used to make really good bean cakes and moon cakes, but the quality really is poor now. And then I remembered Kim Hung... The store is tiny and somewhat ill lit. But what selection they have is of good quality. Their bean cakes are heavy, and good. Inside them is plenty of bean paste, and the taste is just right, not particularly sweet. The pastry shell is fairly flaky, as it should be. The girl who I usually have seen behind the counter is nice and if you ask specific questions, she will answer them pretty well. She's fairly shy otherwise. At any rate, it's a nice if unadorned bakery, and well worth a visit. read more
