Pinay Tess Restaurant — Restaurant in Long Beach

I was looking forward to trying this new management that everyone online was raving how great their bake goods were but unfortunately that wasn't in my experience. I came in today this morning around 10am. I was greeted by an older Filipino man. I asked if they have hot pan de sal? And he said, yes and how many would I like? I asked if the pan de sal is freshly baked this morning and still hot? He kept saying huh? I repeated myself and he gave me a blank stare. I wasn't sure if he could not hear me or a language barrier but he can speak good english. I repeated my question and he said, it's hot in the oven over three hours ago. So I decided to order a dozen pan de sal, ube hopia, and ube ensaymada. I noticed the pan de sal were placed in a clear plastic bag rather than a paper bag which I find odd because usually if it's fresh it's always placed in a paper bag. Soon as I got home I tried the pan de sal. It tasted very dry, stale, and 2-3 days old. This is a huge disappointment. Now I understand why the older Filipino man could not give me a straight forward answer in regards if the pan de sal were freshly bake this morning and still hot. I believe these pan de sal were place in the oven that were days old just to resell again. The ube hopia weren't that good, it has a garlic flavor to them which I love garlic but not on ube hopia. I don't think I'll be coming back to this place again. It lacked honesty, hospitality, and quality. The best bakery in my opinion is Pampanga's Bakery in Artesia. Save yourself from...

Went in the afternoon and tried this place for boba, since my usual shop next door had a line out the door. I thought maybe this might be on par with the quality of boba they serve as well, but was greatly disappointed! The boba was not good/ hard. I also tried the bread filled with ube and covered with butter/sugar on top (not sure what the specific name of the pastry was called) it was ok, definitely not fresh. When I went they also had different meals for sale, but...
