La’s Bakery

I have tried a lot of moon cakes and this is absolutely the best moon cake I have ever had What a hidden undiscovered gem !
I ended up sending a box to my family it was so good

Hands down the TASTIEST and most authentic moon cakes I’ve ever had! This is a mom and pop, hole in the wall kind of place. They’ve got quite an extensive list of of sweet and savory moon cakes with or without egg yolks to choose from. And the moon cakes are larger than the generic ones sold in supermarkets. Not to mention they make the moon cakes fresh without any sort of preservatives (more incentive to gobble them soon: D). Even my family and coworkers really enjoyed the freshness and texture of their moon cakes.
My favorite go to flavor is the nut and seed with sausage (pretty unique blend of sweet, savory, crunchy and soft textures). I also love the coconut and ones with scallop (never had moon cakes with scallop or sausage in them before– surprisingly tasty!!!)

If you’ve never had a mooncake before, I definitely recommend getting them from this bakery. Even though we live in Orange County, my wife gets mooncakes from this bakery every year, and they’re amazing. If you’ve never had a mooncake before, they’re a little baked Chinese cake with an elaborately designed thin crust and a thick (usually sweet) filling. The filling can be a lot of things, but typically it’s sweet and made from stuff like lotus seed or red bean. An egg yolk is usually baked into the center of the mooncake to symbolize the moon, but you can get them without the egg, too. I never had a mooncake until I was adult, but I love them and they go great with a cup of tea. We get them to celebrate Mid-​Autumn Moon Festival and a lot of people give them as gifts during the holiday.
There’s a ton of flavors. Personally, I like the more simple, sweet mooncakes like mung bean or lotus seed, but my wife likes some of the more complex flavors that have stuff like dried scallops and nuts. I think the only flavor we ever didn’t love was the durian mooncake, but only because durian is (obviously) an acquired taste. You also get to pick whether you want an egg in the mooncake or not. We usually get one egg. The saltiness of the egg is good in moderation. Especially if you cut the moon cake into quarters and get a little bit of egg in each piece.
The people who work at the bakery have always been very nice. They’re a Vietnamese-​American family and make everything in a very authentic way. Sometimes you’ll see mooncakes at the Asian grocery store in really fancy boxes, but they’re not nearly as good as these ones, which are basically homemade. I definitely recommend getting your mooncakes directly from the bakery instead.

My auntie was raving about this moon cake place in LA so she sent us 2 boxes mixed with different ones to us here in Florida. I am AMAZED !!! It’s so delicious I had the #10 and it’s not too sweet the texture is right and perfect !
I also was surprised at the variety of moon cakes I have never seen this many types. Next time I’m going to LA I will definitely make time to visit this place in person !!!

Best moon cakes in LA! CASH only: It’s a small place but business been around for long time. The owner is very friendly with great service. Red beans and mixed nuts flavored are the one of their popular items. My friend who lived in SF told me about this place so went here today and bought 8 boxes so I can send some boxes to my friend as well.
