I particularly like the version of this dessert which is served by Hui Lau Shan. But this is not that similar and I don't really recommend it.

We ordered the ube crème brûlée drink, their signature milk tea, and an egg tart. The drinks were okay, although 50% sugar tasted more like 100% sugar at most other places. The egg tart was easily the biggest disappointment. It tasted like a frozen, reheated tart, and after one bite we realized the filling was still cold in the center. The crust wasn't crispy at all either, so paying $2.50 for it felt like a waste. Service was also disappointing. We were the only customers in the store and waited around 20 minutes, assuming they were still preparing our order, only to realize it had already been sitting ready for about 10 minutes and no one had notified us. Overall, definitely not the experience my wife remembered from years ago.

Their plain cake donut actually has flavor. Everyone talks how good McDonald's bagel sandwiches are, but they do not compare to Pana's. The bagel is perfectly toasted and holds up well. I didn't do donuts in Lafayette before because the shops were just okay. They can learn from Pana. See you in the morning!

Donut was very good, full of flavor and tempting me with texture to finish without setting down. Managed to set down for a few seconds, also got a pumpkin spice frappe, it was quite sweet no surprise and offered a nice profile of autumn much better than expected. I noticed many others sitting down during my two hours here but no wifi, very odd. Also odd no music, elderly care center hush, I suggest finding me on streaming sites and trying my new piano albums here! No shame plug there, despite the lack of music and internet, this is a smart location and making good with plenty of sweet desserts.

We found Mango Mango Dessert that was highly recommended online, so we came to try it out. There were not many stores selling ice or cold desserts in the area, so many people were waiting when we arrived. There were many tables and chairs, but most of them were occupied. It was very crowded. We had to wait in a long line to order. We could have ordered online, but we were not familiar with the system, so we chose to wait to order in person. Finally, with the assistance of the staff, we were able to order what we wanted. Also, we were able to secure a table for four of us. The staff was busy with so many customers, so nobody cleaned the table or the floor. We had to clean up by ourselves, which is not a big deal for us. We waited for a while to get our order. All of them were delicious. We were skeptical about some combinations, but they all turned out great. My friend ordered a big bowl of shaved mango ice with ice cream, and it was pretty large. Because the A/C was strong inside the store, my friend felt too cold to eat ice. She ended up calling her kid to help her finish. Overall, it was a good experience to try out Mango Mango. The service was a bit slow and it was crowded. But I guess it's also because of the move-in timing. I will go again to try more items.

Had to call a few times to actually get someone on the phone---but totally worth it! Had the #2 chocolate with chocolate crème frosting with chocolate chips in between the layers. Super light and not too sweet. Oreos decorated the top with chocolate ganache drizzled over the edges. The cake box was very high-end and tied with pretty ribbon. Miss Sugar provided the cutest set of plastic cutlery and paper serving plates with the cake. Will definitely order again if in the Purdue U area.

Yo, Boba lovers! If you're cruising around campus, Feng Cha's your go-to spot for epic boba drinks…read more Just chillin' by the west side, this place is a must-visit for anyone craving top-notch flavors. They hit the sweet spot with robust, well-balanced drinks that elevate your whole experience. The vibe here is electric, scoring a solid 9 out of 10. It's the kind of atmosphere that perfectly matches the hustle and bustle of campus life. And let's talk food--it's 9 out of 10 too! They're all about fresh, premium ingredients, but service is a bit of a rollercoaster, hitting just 7 out of 10. Expect a bit of a wait during peak times, but trust me, it's worth it. For the price, it's a 7 out of 10, hinting that the cost might not always match the quality you're paying for. Still, Feng Cha is your ultimate boba pit stop, delivering consistent quality and being super accessible. If you're itching for another round, I'll be back!

The noodles are well made and compliment the entire pho really well as the main idea. The soup is also quite exquisite being such a tasty broth that sinks into every aspect of the dish.

Greetings! Once…read moreagain it's time to tell you about a place you need to know about: Green Leaf Vietnamese Cuisine. I stopped in West Lafayette for dinner and Green Leaf got the nod as it had a solid reputation with Purdue University students (Boiler Up!). I wasn't planning on writing about Green Leaf, but after my first bite I knew I had a worthy contender to share if the meal continued to deliver. It did, so here we go! Tucked away on a quiet street is an unassuming entrance...you walk into a friendly wide open space with twenty foot or higher ceilings and the host invited us to sit at any of the twenty tables. Upon seating, our server, Will, approached and our experience was underway. Will immediately impressed me with his heart for service. He was attentive, informative, engaging, and diligent. We ordered fresh spring roll as a starter and our pho entrees. Will appeared with the spring rolls and sauce...sadly I cannot eat peanut so he brought me a sauce without peanut crumble. He explained that he made the sauce, cooks, serves, and manages Green Leaf. As my pictures show, one bite and I knew that Green Leaf was a local gem! Our pho was fantastic. We ordered a flank steak pho and a signature pho that included several meats, shrimp, and tripe. Both pho dishes came with generous portion of rice noodles, side veg to put in the pho, and plenty of broth. I later learned that the soup cooks for twenty hours...talk about flavor development. Bathrooms and general decor are serviceable, but should be as great as the food. A fresh coat of paint in places, a revisioning of how supplies are stored, and an overall look with eyes open will reveal where Green Leaf can make some strategic improvements. To me, the little things matter as much as the big things. The food is great, the space should be great, too! Green Leaf will get a return visit in the future...I loved my food, and I loved the heart that is put into the service and the recipes. Will: Keep up the great work with Green Leaf, your efforts and products will keep customers like me coming back again and again! Until next time...tk

The food was amazing! It's hard to choose from all the options but we managed. It was nice that the menu accommodated a few with dietary needs or preferences (aka, picky eaters, lol ). Some of our favorite dishes: - Takoyaki .... yum! - Gyoza - Crab Rangoon Rolls: - Sweetheart (tuna) roll was delicious and was the winner overall! - Fire tuna roll - Lava roll - Nigiri and sashimi We also ordered regular rolls like the Alaska roll and spicy yellow tuna. Not a single piece of sushi was left over and everyone was quite satisfied ! Definitely a place to go for anytime you want sushi, and especially if you're celebrating a special occasion. The restaurant looks very nice and clean and service is great. The menus are large but don't give an explanation of what things are (such as takoyaki = octopus ) but it was all delicious.
