This my go-to place for Taiwanese mooncakes and eats. Their mungbean style mooncakes are flakey on the outside with a savory/sweet inside. When you buy 6 pieces, they'll neatly arrange the mooncakes for you in a gift box and also a gift bag for easy gifting (or just eat it yourself at home, we won't judge!). Though the pastries are the stars of the show IMO, you can't go wrong with anything you eat there. Absolutely pop into IFT Bakery if you're in the area!

Been coming here for a year, and this is my one-stop shop for bakery and goods. I really love the sun cakes, moon cakes, and pineapple breads. They even have a matcha egg custard bread, which is my go to. The matcha cream filling inside is really sweet and creamy!

Good small Asian bakery. Lots of Taiwanese style pastries to choose from, like pineapple cake and sun cake etc. They also carry some frozen food as well.

I was there several times, the sticky rice was delicious and the meat buns and some other stuff was very good, reminds me the food from my hometown Taiwan I love the meat balls 《肉圓》different kinds of buns and the sticky rice 《粽子》it's really yummy.And the most amazing part is the 《green beans pastry》綠豆椪 that's my favorite with meat or without

Used to go to Yi Mei for taiyangbing but the ones here are better. Also get the Chinese tamale, savory rice cake and meatball. They taste as good as any Taiwanese restaurant in Monterey Park1. Taiwanese pineapple came (yellow package): has tiny slices of pineapple and slightly more tart. Cake seems more buttery. 2. Pineapple cake (magenta package): tastes more like the kind you get at most stores but still good3. Sun cake (orange lettering): this has honey. Less sweet because of more flaky layers4. Sun came (yellow lettering): this has maltose only. Is thinner and sweeter5. Lotus bean and Red bean with yolk: both good. Bean based on your personal preference. I like the yolk because its a little bit salty, balancing out sweetness. This place always has these which is harder to find at 85 or JJ which I think address more seasonal. 6. Mung bean cake: this is the only place I know that had this type. Instead of a spongy cake, this is soft and powdery. Goes well with tea. I used to get this often on Taiwan but it's hard to bring over because it crumbles easy.Frozen food1. Tamale: Like how there are different variations. Most with meat but has different combinations of yolk, mushroom and peanuts. 2. Meat ball: Pretty good. As close as you can get with frozen to the real thing.

I came to the store around 7pm yesterday (Saturday), found it's closed and Yelp has the wrong store hours... will make purchases and update my review next time

A friend recommended this place for vegetarian dumplings, so I checked online before I went. The price on the menu was totally different from the price I paid! And it was a dollar more than other places!! I bought 10 of the meat dumplings for $59.50 and 10 vegetarian dumplings for $57.50( buy 10 get one free). The dumpling rice texture was individual and not sticky as other places, the taste was ok. But the price was a bit too high!! I won't pay for it again.

I'm so in love with their mochis! Best Chinese style mochis in LA. I'm a big fan of fugetsu do's mochis, but these are even better!

My manager at Kingston Realty brought some pastries and sandwiches in for a power meeting. Omg soo delicious! I can’t wait to try everything else they make.
It's my first time here, and i have heard a lot of good reviews from friends. The mochi is very soft and chewy with lots of filling. It's so yummy. The pineapple cake is a lot better than other bakery. Both with oor without the yolk is good.

I was looking for a place to buy pineapple cakes for a gift and saw the good reviews. And wow, their pineapple cake is delicious! It's the one individually wrapped in the white bag, not the red bag. I didn't buy the red bag. I did buy the yolk pineapple cake to try, but the pineapple cake by itself is much better than the one with the yolk. The ladies were very helpful and nice, they do speak English. I can't wait to go back and try their other baked goods!

Hand-made Macadamia and Almond Milk Candies (牛軋糖) were pretty nice. Nothing to complain except the prices.

The egg yolk and chestnut rice dumplings are delicious, and the pineapple cake has a very soft skin, which is my favorite flavor.

The most delicious Lu Rou Mung Bean Pork in the West Bank, there is no complaint except the price is expensive.
