    Not fresh bakeries here! Selling old stale Duran bakery  first time there and also will be last time there
    Ben S.

    Bought a few things there today for the first time. Was kind of skeptical when the guy said you have to microwave it for 30 seconds before you eat it. Bought it anyways to try. Did what he said and off course idiot me bought old stale bakery here first and last . If you like not fresh bakery come here

    Red bean, Ming bean and taro buns.
    James L.

    We stumbled upon this little bakery after having lunch next door. I noticed the display case had rows of colorful baos on display, and that was enough to get my curiosity. Inside is small. There are no seats, have mostly packaged foods and whatever is inside the glass case. Our first time, we tried their taro, custard and mung bean baos. A quick heat-up under a wet paper towel in the microwave and they came out warm and soft with a sweet filling. Second visit, I got 4 custard, 2 taro and 2 red bean, and I'm sure these will be equally good like the first time. According to the owner, these will keep in the fridge for about 2 weeks or much kk her in the freezer. Just steam them or try the microwave method to get that soft, pillowy texture again. Royal Bakery appears to be a small family run business, and their baos are quite good. I haven't tried their other sweet or savory buns yet, and that's just a good reason for me to go back again.

    BUN HEAVEN My family always comes here to grab as many Banh Bao as we can before heading up north. I personally came in to grab 30 Banh Bao before heading back and it was kind of hard to find at first but we'll worth it. Pretty sure the owner helped us out and he definitely gave us a good experience! It was a little less than $3 a Banh Bao! I am in love! Coming back soon for sure

    Generous amount of mung bean. $1.25 in 2022. Dough was a tad dry in my opinion.

    I only got to try the two sweet baos this trip. Previously my friend has gotten us the meat bao for a road trip and those are pretty heavy aka loaded with a pretty compact ball of meat and egg. They're not bad. The green sweet bao has mung bean inside. The first bite was pretty dry in my opinion as it got stuck on the top of my mouth and i couldn't even chew it (I had to manually unstuck it). After that you encounter a generous amount of yellow bean paste inside which is about a 4/5 in sweetness for me. It was warm as they had just made them. The dough isn't the glutenny kind that stretches. It was more like crumbly bread type. Mung bean and taro baos now $1.25. I can't say I am a fan of the baos but wanted to share some pictures and current price which is still not bad.

    The 3 different small baos are very good. They are also $1 each. Amazingly cheap for such good quality. I also tried their Viet style chicken bao and that was bomb dot com too. The secret is their dough, which doesn't crumble when you bite into it.

    I want to give a shout out to Royal Bakery because they have some delicious banh bao. I bought one of the OG pork baos to snack on while we waited for our table at dim sum. It was so good! I ended up going back to buy a dozen of the pork and one of each of the colorful ones to bring back home to SJ. The green one, which was mung bean, was SOOO good. I regret not buying more and I'm definitely gonna make a detour just to buy more of their mung bean banh bao. Bonus points- they accept card! I know a lot of mom and pop shops don't accept cards so this was very cool because I try my best not to carry cash due to safety concerns. Make sure you tip to cover their CC fees or bring cash.

    Jumbo Pork Bao
    Chri Y.

    Hands down one of the best baos I've tried!! My favorite is their jumbo pork bao. The bao is so fluffy and nicely sweetened on the outside and the inside is filled with pork, sausage, and egg that are perfectly seasoned with a mix of savory/umami and slight sweetness. Because the bao is pretty big and they put in a generous amount of meat inside, I think this could be a substantial snack when you're pretty hungry or even a good light meal. The owner is also super friendly and personable which made the experience even better for me! I will definitely be visiting this place quite often

    Soft Sesame Candy w/ Peanuts-$12 (I ate a few pieces already lol oops!)
    Jenny L.

    I was reading everyone's enthusiastic reviews about Royal Bakery's Lunar New Year goods, so I decided to stop by a few days ago! I specifically wanted to try the SOFT SESAME CANDY WITH PEANUT (8.5/10). When I arrived on a Tuesday afternoon, about 7 people were waiting in line. All the customers were middle-aged Asians who spoke Vietnamese/Chinese/etc so I knew this place was legit. One box of Soft Sesame Candy (pictured here--I ate a few pieces already lol oops) is $12. The candy is nice and soft with a slightly gelatinous texture. It isn't too sweet, which I appreciate. I also love the little bits of peanut inside. Overall, I enjoy this candy--and on the plus side, I only need to eat a small piece to feel satisfied, which is great for my health! The employees were pretty good about only allowing 4 customers in at a time, for social distancing reasons. The man at the cash register was very friendly. There is a large parking lot nearby, and a few more large parking lots on the same block, so you definitely have your parking options, especially if you go at a down time like a weekday afternoon.

    Mixed box
    Jennifer L.

    I enjoyed the desserts! So fresh and delicious! They have bag ones for $10 and boxed ones for $12. I wanted to try the mix, so opted for the box. Loved all three flavors (White/Black sesame and peanuts). Got a mix feeling about the pork buns. The bun itself was very dry but the fillings really good, with pork and egg.

    Usually I try to swiftly correct my mistakes, but it took a sweet Yelp friend (thank you Lynette T) who gently and recently called attention to my "bao" ignorance, sadly finding my mistake 4 long years after Royal Bakery abstinence (not by choice). Curses to my All-American white-ness! But better late than never? His signature product I had correctly called a "bao" in my review of 2012. But if I had taken a look at the signs, it was clearly NOT Chinese as I surmised. And the patient, multilingual man behind the counter spoke English, albeit haltingly. I have no idea if it was the same guy as 4 years ago, but his kindness and wonderful, edentulous smile completely disarmed me this time around. "Please, please, please be the same baker," my most desperate thoughts raced inside my head. So what do we really have here? Today, the bakery looks much more modern and cleaner than I remembered. Still tiny, and still sporting just under 20 reviews after all these years (WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUSE GUYS?), this bakery offers a real treasure, Vietnamese baos called Bánh bao thit heo (I know I got it right this time because I sneaked a picture to cover my a**). Those steamed Bánh baos are just as I remembered, still as massive, but mostly because of the generous filling. The steamed bread was delicately sweet and not too thick; the copious filling consisted of finely ground pork and minced water chestnut (for that ever so subtle crunch), just a touch of Chinese sausage, wood ear mushrooms (yum), and a chunk of hard boiled egg. You will have to trust those other Yelpers who are "in the know" as to their authenticity, but you can also trust me when I say, these are delicious and a real bargain. $1.75 buys you one huge, tender, satisfying combination of the most mouth watering steamed bread and flavorful filling known to man (and this wo-man). I am thrilled he is still in business. Let's keep it that way, bao seekers.

    Nice!!

The cake was prolly the only one that I thought so-so. Unique flavor with green grape yogurt and taro paste, but just okay in taste. The mini croissants were pretty good for the price. It wasn't like abundantly filled, but certainly not bad for being $2ish esp the salted yolk. The egg tarts should be the reason to come and come back again. Super affordable and the buttery case made them great! The Portugese one was certainly the default one to try but I personally loved the caramel croissant one.
