This place continues to offer great Portuguese egg tarts. $2 for one now. I went to pick some up yesterday. It was so fresh. The egg was just so smooth. Not too sweet and not oily. They offered other items as well. Their bao/buns were also very fresh.. I came when they just finished with the baos. I got some pork & veggies ones & bbq pork. It was $2 for one as well. Pretty good. Note. Didn't get to browse the shop. Ordered at the door. Customer service was great. Telephone service was great Parking avail
Parking: Super easy with plaza parking lot. Interior: They were taking orders at the door with menu posted outside. Wait Time: line was maybe 4-5ppl long so took a few minutes. Order was packed immediately so overall it's a quick pick up. Items Order: 9/10 Egg tarts $1.7 (2024)- Custard was bomb, not too sweet. It came fresh, hot, and shells were buttery. $20 min for card or they accept cash/zelle
Phu's Bakery is no-frills. They display their pastries at the window, and you may order at the door in front of a foldable table. We ordered two dozen egg tarts (that were kept warm) and two pork sung rolls, and paid cash. Both the egg tarts and pork sung rolls were delicious. The egg tarts were a hit at our gathering, and the pork sung rolls were a fantastic snack. Highly recommend! The parking lot is a bit busy with nearby food and beverage businesses, but doable!
My goodness! I am in love with Phu's Bakery Portuguese egg tarts! It is really one of the best egg tarts I have ever tried. The crust is flaky and buttery. The custard is creamy, silky, light, and has the perfect texture When I got them, they were warm and very fresh. The first bite was like an explosion of flavor in my mouth. They were irresistible! I also tried hot dog bun without cheese. It was savory and fresh. Their durian biscuit was sweet and creamy. They don't allow entry to the store. You have to order from outside. The service was fast. The bakery is located at Vikon Center. There were plenty of parking spots shared with other businesses. Definitely,I will be back.
Definitely a hidden gem I stumbled across a couple years ago. It's a small, walk-up style bakery, no dine-in, just a window where you place your order after checking out the display of baked goods. I've tried some of their breads, which were decent, but nothing too special. What really stands out here are the egg tarts. They're legit flaky, custardy , and honestly better than what I've had at a lot of dim sum spots. Whenever I'm heading to a party or visiting friends, I'll often grab a box to bring as a gift. Just a heads up they're pretty much cash only, so come prepared.
$20 min credit card charge & $2 Portuguese egg tart. If you don't have cash, you better buy 10 egg tarts lol! The price is quite unbeatable and the egg tart itself is so flaky and warm. You must eat them while they're freshly out of the oven / bakery because they don't sit well after a while. I bought half a dozen so I could save one for the morning and it felt apart but I still ate it, it wasn't as good as when I had it fresh/warm. The bakery shop is old style and it's not for sitting down but they do have a parking lot. Service was fast.
Phu's Bakery is a bakery in Rosemead known for their Portuguese Egg Tarts. They have other breads and baked goods as well; however, the egg tarts are what they're known for. When you come in, they don't let you inside and you order at the door. All of their baked goods are lined up in front of their window. Their popular tarts go for $2 each. I bought four and they were served hot. The pastries were flaky and the custard was pretty egg-forward. It's OK (3 stars) for me because I prefer the dessert with a little more sweetness. Being able to get hot and fresh Portuguese egg tarts is nice and, if you're looking for egg tarts, then you should check it out; however, their sweetness level isn't what I prefer.
I've been searching for a local bakery specializing in egg tarts and other Chinese pastries, and my wife, who is a very picky eater when it comes to sweets, was impressed with the pineapple biscuit, wife cake, and egg tarts. Phu's Bakery is located in the Vikon Center, which is in the same plaza as Tantawan Thai Kitchen. It is to-go only. They accept cash, credit, and debit cards with a $20 minimum, as well as Zelle. Their Portuguese-style egg tarts are perfectly sweet and creamy with a flaky crust, reminding me of the ones we had in Macau. The Wife Cake is also nice and flaky with a sweet center, and I enjoyed the pineapple biscuit as well, but my favorite was the egg tarts and wife cake. Prices aren't listed, but for 2 egg tarts, pineapple biscuit, wedding cake, and red bean cake, our total was $11.25. We will definitely be back for more of their delicious cakes and pastries.
One of my go to bakeries to buy egg tart! In the morning it's so warm and fresh. Since covid, they have not let customers into the store. Most breads are available on display. Some are in the back but written on the menu at the door. There is a curtain that you order and pick up from. Her cash register is still inside though haha so she runs back and forth. Bring cash as there is a $20 spend minimum for credit card use. We always get their egg tarts and it's become a famous shop for egg tarts in the SGV. So warm flaky custardy and slightly sweet. Custard is super eggy and there's nice color on the outside. Breads and buns are on par with the other Chinese bakeries and they do a great job with speciality traditional pastries and bakery products. The owner is running a business not a run club so she may seem a bit rude out front but it's just her RBF. Quick and efficient. There are also no public restroom!
we have been coming here for years for our custard egg tarts, even though it's a little bit pricey it's definitely worth it. The Portuguese egg tarts here are absolutely delicious. normally whenever we have a family gathering, I always buy these lovely desserts after lunch to bring with me. today, I went early in the morning when they first opened and the egg tarts were still fresh and warm. They used to sell out earlier in the day, but I guess business has been great over the years that now, they continually keep baking egg tarts until they close. The lady is very nice at the door. She asks what you want and reconfirms before she charges you. Service is pretty quick. Doesn't take longer than 5 to 10 minutes when you're picking up your baked goods. as long as you purchase over $20-$25 you can use a credit card otherwise make sure you bring cash.
Whenever I'm in the area, stopping by for their egg tarts is a must! They still operate "COVID-style," with orders taken outside the shop--which I don't mind at all since the service is quick and efficient. Just a heads-up: once items sell out for the day, they don't restock--so go early if you want the full selection! The egg tarts are incredibly well made and still taste amazing the next day after a quick reheat in the air fryer. Their pineapple buns are also a favorite, but they were sold out during my last visit. If you're ever nearby, definitely check out this gem of a bakery!

Service was quick and simple. Order in the front door. You can call and preorder dozen of Egg-tarts for pick up to save time. I think there was 12 tarts per box. Make sure to give the staff the correct name and contact number. Staff will not hand off the order until it's verified on their end. Known for their Egg tarts and it didn't disappoint! Decent size. Hot, fresh, and tasted great. 10/10! Custard is perfect. Crust is baked nicely. Wife cake (Lao Po Bing) is also worth trying. Thin and flaky crust. Not too sweet. read more
/)/) ( . .) ( づ WOW WOW WOW!!! Must get the Egg tarts!!! It just tastes like Hong Kong! Perfect size and were freshly warm. It was just perfect and the flavor was divine. Outside was perfectly flakey and the custard was not too sweet and creamy. Also get the coconut bun, WOW! SOOO coconutty, buttery and delicious. This is my new GO TO bakery! Tried other bakeries but this one is the BEST! read more

Mooncake time again. My sister and I drive to Phu's to buy white lotus mooncake for my mother. They still don't allow anyone go inside instead it is at the door. We ordered Portuguese egg tarts and cup of sponge cake. They also sell various moon cakes which peanut oil. The cup of sponge cake and egg tart taste good. read more

I'm always looking for good, affordable Egg Tarts and thanks to our CM (Thuy) we have another spot! Thanks Thuy for posting your review last week! I happened to be headed that way to get rice noodles and had to incorporate a stop here to check out their Egg Tarts. They are located in a small plaza. They still don't allow guests to go into the shop, so you look at the displays through the window and order at the door. They have a good variety of pastries and breads on display. I was there for the Egg Tarts, I asked which kind they offered and was told they only have the Portuguese variety, fine by me! I ordered a dozen. After window shopping, a couple of things caught my eye. I also ordered 3 of the Taro (Ube) bun, and a Pork Sung roll (since my nephew loves pork sung). There was a menu posted, but no pricing. I asked about the price of the tarts and was told $1.50 each (I think, hard to hear through the plastic), no clue about the other items. My order totaled $26.66 for everything. When I got home, I gave a tart to my dad and he loved it. So, I had to try one as well. It was still warm, flakey crust, creamy filling that was so good, not at all sweet, and very generous. I also tried the Taro (Ube) bun, it was a really generous taro filling encased in a thin flakey pastry shell, so filling! Back to the Portuguese Egg Tarts, definitely top rated and will make this a regular stop for these! read more
It was our first time trying this bakery today. During the pandemic, customers aren't allowed inside. A staff member takes your order at your door, and you just wait for them to bring you the goods. Everything was sealed in clear plastic bakery bags. We ordered a few buns and their Portuguese egg tarts to try. Everything was cheap. Personally, I think some buns weren't as good as those of 85's, but it's like a third to half the costs. Technically more of a 3.5/5 overall, but I rounded up for the sake of this review. Portuguese egg tarts: The skin appeared flaky, but it wasn't really flaky/crispy when I bit into it. The filling itself was pretty good. It wasn't too sweet, and had good flavors. For being only a little over $1 each, I think it's a steal, 4.5/5. Taro Biscuits: The skin was flaky and soft. The center had a generous amount of taro. The taro itself had a smooth texture and was lightly sweetened. I really enjoyed this pastry. I recommend this, if you like taro desserts, 5/5. Steamed taro bun: The bun was cold when I got it, but you can just microwave it for 30 seconds, and it's hot and soft again. The bun itself tasted like a normal mantou. There was lots of taro inside this bun, and it was lightly sweetened too. I think compared to frozen taro buns, this one was definitely better, but I probably wouldn't drive out of my way for just steamed buns, if I have frozen ones in my freezer already. Overall 5/5. Pork sung roll: Their bread was light and soft. From the outside, it looked like there would be a lot of pork sung, but sadly there was not much in the middle. It was mainly bread in the center, so personally the two ends tasted the best, and the middle was mediocre. This bun was 3/5 for me. Taro bun-I really love their bread at this bakery. It reminds me of the tan zhou bread, very soft. However, there was very little taro inside this bread. It was probably 95% bread, which is a little disappointing, considering their taro paste actually tastes very good. For this reason, this bun is 3/5 for me. Pineapple bun- Their bread was soft, like their other buns. The topping was too sweet for me, and it wasn't crispy. It was soft and bit soggy. Personally, I didn't enjoy this bun as much as 85's, but remember, their prices are much cheaper than said bakery. This bun was 3/5 for me because of the sweetness. Overall, their prices are great, if you want cheap soft buns. I didn't get to try everything I wanted to. They ran out of Napoleon at 11:30am, so I'll probably have to return another time to try it and maybe some new pastries. I likely wouldn't order their pork sung roll, baked taro bun, or pineapple bun again, but their tarts and taro biscuits are definitely a future repeat purchase for me. read more
Came around 3 in the afternoon. Got half a dozen Portuguese tarts ($10.51), and it was still fresh and hot. The crust was flaky, and the tart itself was a good size. I'd come again just for the Portuguese tarts! Cheaper than other places, but still yummy and fresh. I also tried their wife cake and pork sung bun, but it was mediocre. I wouldn't buy it again. P.s. you can only order thru the door. All the items are on display by the window, and they have a $20 minimum for credit card. read more
So while I was out in Rosemead, I had to check out Phu's Bakery for their Portuguese Egg Tarts! There wasn't that may parking spots when I arrived and I was surprised to see that they blocked the door so that you can't actually walk in. I spoke to an employee inside to order 6 Portuguese Egg Tarts and they came out right away. I had to have an Egg Tart right outside and it was delicious. The Egg Tart has great texture with the bread outside and the soft egg in the middle. Definitely recommend this spot if you are craving a Portuguese Egg Tart! read more

I think I have found my new favorite place for fluffy and flaky egg tarts that are made fresh daily! I came here in the afternoon and they had just baked up a fresh batch of egg tarts straight from the oven so it was even more scrumptious! MUST TRY!! read more

The best egg tart in LA! My sons loves them. It gets more expensive now, but still worthy to buy. read more
I really wanted to like this place for their Portuguese egg tarts, but it just didn't make it for me. While the price and size of the egg tart was great, it just isn't portuguese egg tart. It has the look of a portuguese egg tart being that it is browned at the top of the egg custard, but that's just it - it tastes just like a regular egg tart. The pastry dough itself should be flaky-er like a croissant in my opinion (I'm comparing it to the Portuguese egg tarts I had in Macau). While it was warm and delicious, nonetheless it is just a regular egg tart to me. I much prefer the Portuguese Egg Tart from Paderia even though it's a lot more expensive at $2.50, but if I was looking for a really good regular egg tart, I would definitely come to Phu's Bakery. read more

After trying it at my friend's place, I got to get me some of these. One of the best egg tarts I have ever had. The egg custard is very delicious, excellent creaminess, and it doesn't taste too eggy. The crust has a great crunchiness to it, very flaky. 1 dozen for $18, I believe it is a good price, each of the tarts is pretty big. My wife and I love it very much. read more
I can't not rave enough about the Portuguese Egg Tarts here! Tucked away in a strip plaza in Rosemead, this unassuming bakery serves out your typical bread and buns, but the egg tart here reigns supreme as the star pastry here. Head straight to the display left of the cashier to pickup your sweet dessert. Don't just buy one; buy a few for yourself and family and friends to share! For just $1, this delicious tart gives you a swirl of creamy custard centre. It is best served when bought fresh - just right when the flaky crust still holds its crisp from the heat of the oven. The caramelized egg taste just makes you want to binge without regret on this must-buy dessert at this shop! read more

PET = Portuguese Egg Tart During my last vacation in Los Angeles, my friend, Jason Y. gave me a box of PET... WOW! I ate all of them! I HAD TO GET MORE! Located in a strip mall in Rosemead, Phu's Bakery shares a free parking lot with many other businesses. I parked right in front of the shop, walked in, and focused on the glass case of PET... YAY! For just a dollar (plus 15 cents tax), I got a piece of happiness! The filling is fluffy and not too sweet and not too eggy in flavor! You'll need a napkin because the crust is crumbly and flaky! Yumm! There are other baked goods here. The many pastries on display are individually wrapped and look delicious! If I need a cake, I would come here for the ones decorated with fresh fruit or the Hello Kitty one! read more
The owner knew I drove far to visit his bakery, he was kind enough to put aside some of their famous Portuguese tarts. I arrived at the time I promised, they hand over two boxes of really pipping hot egg tarts. I ran to the car and rushed to take my first bite of Phu's egg tarts. Almost burned my lips lol. Then I realized why the lady at the window told me they are hot. I thought she was being nice---- she was actually pretty serious lol. I had 5, 6 parties and a few behind me at the line. My friends told me it is normal having a long line in front of the bakery and in busy days, each family receive a dozen egg tarts so other could put purchase. Love how they share. It is in their culture that they take care each other and newly met friends too. read more

Randomly found this hole in the wall bakery known for their $1 egg tarts! I havent seen any tarts that cost less than $1.60 a piece in this area so I had to come and find out. Though it's not the closest location from home, it's definitely worth the drive for these heavenly egg tarts. I walked into Phu's Bakery and immediately saw a small showcase with the yummy tarts. I really wanted to check if they were really a dollar a piece and it sure was. I got 6 egg tarts and the lady quickly placed them in a styrofoam container. Grabbed a couple of other pastries and walked out. Came home and took a bite, it was heavenly! I really really enjoyed every bite of these creamy egg tarts. I personally like the flaky tart shell and so it was perfectly fine for my taste. The filling was very soft, smooth and creamy, I highly doubt anyone can say no to this. I also loved that it wasnt on the sweeter side. I cant eat too much sweets so these were really perfect for me. I mean I knew after taking my first bite, I can eat unlimited count of these in one seating if I am given the chance. Just to clarify, they are definitely not the best egg tarts I have had but for the price, its the best and quality you can get in the area. I prefer to eat these tarts over tarts sold at 85°C or Sunmerry personally. The lady and the guy who rang me up was nice and very fast. I was out the store less than 2 minutes! With plenty of parking, friendly staff and most importantly delectable and scrumptious egg tarts, I will be coming back very soon! read more

Hands down THE BEST PORTUGUESE EGG TARTS! Ok, maybe 2nd favorite after Jim's Bakery in Monterey Park. The egg tarts are slightly smaller than Jim's but price is better than Jim's. They take CC over $20 only so bring cash if you don't plan to buy a lot. It comes with a cute box if you purchase over 6 egg tarts. They are still doing the safe clear guards at the entrance so you gotta order outside. Parking can be a challenge since it's inside a plaza. And best of all, it's right across my favorite banh mi spot , Banh Mi My Tho. Just picked some up for our road trip and I'm a happy gal read more
Portuguese Tarts!!! I decided to finally try Phu's Bakery. Oh the smell was intoxicating as I waited to order. I don't know why it took me so long to try this bakery that has the same last name as my mom's side of the family. Apparently I might be related lol The tarts are tasty but what I enjoyed even more is the price. It's 1.50 each compared to other bakeries which is over 2 dollars. read more
Hands down, the best egg tarts that I've ever eaten. They come out hot and freshly made and deliciously delicious! Of all the places that I've eaten, I've Never received a hot one. Will definitely be back to grab more. read more
Seriously the BEST Portuguese Egg Tarts around!!! For the quality, the price cannot be beat. Let's face it, you don't go to a Chinese Restaurant let alone bakery to get 5 star service. So with that being said... The 5 star rating I am leaving is for the Portuguese Egg Tart and that only! I have tried other items from the bakery, but honestly did not care for them. But the Egg Tart!!! Yes, you should try it! Get a couple extra while you're at it. Pop em into a little toaster oven and leave it on bake at 350 for 5 minutes or so. SOOO GOOOD! read more

Covid-19 takeout review. I picked up Portuguese egg tarts, vanilla sponge cake and lemon sponge cake. Portuguesse egg tart: not the best egg tart, but it's pretty good and light. I popped this in the microwave for 15 seconds and it came out all jiggly and creamy. I also picked up some tarts for my friend and her family. She texted me the next day to say they really enjoyed the yummy tarts. Pandan sponge cake: light, fluffy and not too sweet. I like eating it cold and warm-pop it in the microwave for 20 seconds. Vanilla sponge cake and lemon sponge cake: I gifted these cakes too and I got a call saying they liked the cakes. The lady who helped me was so sweet, friendly and patient. I came back again for more goodies since I couldn't get they were out of the birthday bun the first time I was there. Vegetable and pork bun: I was annoyed at first because I thought they just gave me vegetable bun. The filling was super tasty, but it was mostly vegetable with glass noodle and tiny pieces of pork. I would get this again. Taro biscuit: thin, flaky layers of "biscuit" on the outside with thick, generous amount of taro paste inside. It was goey and starchy at the same time. I love taro, but I don't care for this TBH. Walnut sponge cake: pretty basic and light like your typical walnut sponge cake. I would get this again. Birthday bun with lotus filling: I like the bun more than the filling. The service was efficient, but not as friendly as the first time. It's kinda hard ordering when you have to point from the outside and you don't really know the names. Don't show your frustration because I sure didn't show mine. QUICK TIP: $10 MINIMUM FOR CREDIT CARD! 4 stars!! Phu's Bakery is yummylicious!! read more
