Huy Ky Bakery

I worked with Kim at Huy Ky Bakery and it was a wonderful and delightful experience! I knew I wanted an Asian cake that wasn't too sweet or processed. Kim gladly accommodated all of my needs and requirements, even peanut allergies, and we had a delicious strawberry taro sponge cake. She was super responsive and kind throughout all of our communications. Our guests absolutely loved it and it was a hit! Truly a hidden gem in San Diego area -- I'll update once I get official photos from my vendors back but for now here is the photo I got of us cutting the cake from our guests!

My first visit to Huy Ky Bakery. I picked up mooncakes as a gift for the owners of Paris Bakery, who are presently engaged in opening a new outlet in Chula Vista called Banh Mi Paris Express.Huy Ky's owner, Mr. Yu, was helpful as I made my selection, and was gracious, offering me a peek behind the scenes at his work area, which is nicely set up with an impressive array of professional baking equipment. He also pulled up a video to show me how he makes his mooncakes, an enterprise that is much more complicated than I'd imagined.Having seen these things, and after spending a few minutes chatting with Mr. Yu, I'm not surprised that Huy Ky Bakery is a favorite source for mooncakes and other baked delights among San Diego's Vietnamese community. I'll be back!**********See how mooncakes are made! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kx4dIRi1hZY

I came for banh Chung & they were very good. I called ahead to make sure they had them because they are not easy to find.

I come here for the cakes! They don't do super fancy decorated ones but it's freshly baked, the sponge cake is so soft, the buttercream is light, airy with the right amount of sweetness and the price is great!With at least a 24 hour notice, you can get a two tier cake for next day pickup. There's different flavors to choose from, the price depends on size and filling that you order.If mooncakes are your thing, this is the place to get them as well. Stop by, everyone is super helpful & friendly.

This review is for the snowy mooncake, as I don't think I have tried their regular mooncakes yet. The worst part is that the cake is so soggy, and so is the filling. Then it's too sweet for me. So far, this is the sweetest one by far compared to other mooncakes. I bought this one 1 or 2 years ago. It was bad but I forgot which brand, so I bought again this week. I should remember the name now.

Very dissapointed. It said mixed nuts with rotisserie chicken Gà Quay. But there isn't any chicken even 1 strand of chicken. And it cost $35 about $10 more than regular moon cake. What a rip off. Esp. Selling to their own people who also came to this country with the wish to find the same flavors of of the old days. This moon cake is fine but what it upsets me because it advertised things that does not have and charged as much as $10 extra just because it advertised that it has chicken. All I can find is mixed nuts. Even though it is much less greasy than moon cake made from China or other brands in US, but this is called fraud. I bought the mixed nuts from Costco only $17 from Taiwan, and same mixed nuts non greasy and they don't advertised something that they don't have. That imported moon cake is far better quality . No wonder Huy Ky is never passed the test to sell in Costco. I will never buy moon cake from Huy Ky. People, go and buy moon cakes from Costco only $17 and you don't get disappointed. Not worthy to eat Huy Ky moon cake. What a rip off and fraud.

Bought a few boxes for moon festival, since last year of Covid they were in shortage as they were afraid stuffs wouldn't sell. Anyway I usually just buy the thập cẩm gà quay because it was always within my budget, but then I saw the overhyped $45 box of bào ngư đặc biệt, thought I give it a try, well not so much special about it compare to a $25 box, but ok I still have 3 left to dissect; will see what's inside down the road.

I love this little bakery. It's always a nostalgic feeling and I bring my children here often, they love that the sweets are not too sweet. My son always talks about how the cakes have whipped cream instead of buttercream and that the cake is extra fluffy. Even when we select whipped cream at American bakeries, it seems extra sweet. The price is great and the customer service always feels homely. If you're in the area, make sure to stop by and give the family owned bakery your business.

This place is seriously a hidden gem in San Diego. Kim's cakes are just perfect - not too sweet, which I love. Kim at Huy Ky Bakery is super responsive, kind, and really listens to what you want. I can't get over how flexible Kim is with orders. I had some specific ideas for a cake, and she totally nailed it. Oh, and don't even get me started on her mooncakes. They're so good that we're actually having them at our wedding! I stumbled upon this place by chance, and I'm so glad I did.

It was always Huy Ky that we go for banh TET Tết, bánh trung thu for Lunar Moon Festival. Please continue your great Legacy and service to the community! We love you and your baking!
