Plenty of people, but still plenty of seating outside! You can tell it's a great treat to share with a group, perfect for any time of day. I love the cheesecake bites in the strawberry cheese flavor, the creaminess combine perfectly with the slightly sweet and tart strawberry! Just wish this fruit was a bit sweeter. Our mango bingsoo was delicious! I did not expect the fresh mango to be so perfect. I was pleasantly surprised. I just wish this flavor had a touch of mochi on top for an additional bite.

Even though my rating for their spot in Costa Mesa doesn't necessarily reflect it, of all of the…read moremany places we've discovered so far across our adventures around OC, Heybings is definitely one of my favorites. It may be a little bold to say, as we have eaten so many tasty things thus far, but it's in no small part because I've yet to find a bingsoo spot as good as them in the Bay Area! Not to mention the fact that the warm weather down gives me that much more of a reason (read: excuse) to keep coming back! Compared to the one in Costa Mesa, this Heybings is seems to be a bit smaller and the parking situation here isn't quite as easy (the parking lot has a lower level, but it can still fill up during peak hours). However, for whatever reason, this one feels a bit warmer and brighter (and just as cozy). As for the menu, it has all of the same delicious treats to offer - a terrific collection of their signature bingsoo flavors, including both their classic and seasonal offerings, mochi and liege waffles, coffees, and specialty lattes and drinks. The one thing I don't recall seeing listed that I remember from before is matcha, but I can't say I was looking for it either. -- MELON LIME BREEZE - Honeydew Base, Fresh Melons, Lime Zest, Condensed Milk, and Vanilla Ice Cream This is one of their specialty flavors that they rotate in, but they need to make this one of their regulars because it is SO GOOD! Between the melon base and fruit, plus the lime zest, this tasted so refreshing. Plus, I LOVED the creaminess from the vanilla ice cream. DELICIOUS! -- MANGO PARADISE - Milk Base, Housemade Mango Puree, Fresh Mango, Coconut Flakes, Condensed Milk, and Vanilla Ice Cream Not as amazing as the Melon Lime Breeze, but no less delicious. The taste of mango in this was really strong and, combined with the vanilla ice cream, condensed milk, and coconut flakes, kind of reminded me of Mango Sticky Rice (without the rice). -- MATCHA STRAWBERRY - Matcha Base, Housemade Strawberry Puree, Fresh Strawberries, Condensed Milk, and Matcha Ice Cream You could argue this is a little "basic", but there's a reason why this is a classic sort of combination. The Strawberries and the puree weren't overly sweet and balanced nicely with the taste of the matcha (flavorful with just a slight bit of that earthy flavor). Beyond the bingsoo, the other awesome thing about this place has been the service. While I do think it's a little better at their location in Costa Mesa, the workers have always been friendly and get orders out fairly quickly. Really, the only "knock" is that they don't come around to clear off tales as fast, which can be problematic when seating gets scarce (mostly at nights and on weekends). Of course, it would be nice if customers bussed their own trays/dishes when they're done and brought it to the little window/shelf at the back, but that's not exactly something that can be (nor should be) relied on either. Considering how much I've enjoyed our visits to this location just as much as their spot in Costa Mesa and how I rounded that down from the same FOUR AND A HALF STARS, it seems only fair that I round up for this one. Although, truth be told, I love Heybings so much, I will take them however I can have them, regardless of whichever of their locations I need to go to!

Previously tried Heybings in Costa Mesa and decided to stop by the Irvine location after having…read morelunch nearby. I love a good bingsu and Heybings does not disappoint. Ordered the Large Mango Paradise ($14.50), Single Strawberry Delight ($8.50), and Single Black Sesame ($8.75). All three were super refreshing and came with a generous amount of toppings. I honestly couldn't pick a favorite because they were all delicious, especially on a warm summer afternoon. The bingsu was light, refreshing, and perfect for sharing. Disposable paper cups and utensils are available by the register for self-service, which is convenient if you're sharing your bingsu. There is parking directly in front of the restaurant shared with the other businesses but it does tend to fill up. Underground parking is also available and is shaded. Overall, another great Heybings experience!

The consistency of the matcha ice was not light and fluffy, there were chunks of hard ice. She rated it 2/5 Mango bingso: simple, refreshing , not too sweet. It was topped off with toasted coconut flakes. Next time If I do come back, I would ask for easy syrup! I was also not a fan of the mango syrup! My rating is 4/5 for the mango.

Both workers didn't really try to assist or say something until you come up to the register to tell them you are ready to go order. Maybe a little tip for workers that maybe they should ask the people if they have any questions or something they could help. I felt that some sort of training can be nice to workers. The inside is very spacious as what I remember few years back. But it seems like they have less options as before. I gave this a 3 star for maybe have more hospitality training for being FOH.

I believe I came in during rush hour, as there was a line out the door. Despite the wait, when I got to the front of the line, the worker at the front named Mari was extremely helpful and friendly. Furthermore, the man and the other woman in the back seemed extremely diligent in making sure people's orders were out in a timely manner. The customer service will definitely be a factor in why I'll be coming back, and the desserts were just as good. My favorite was the Mango Mochi! Overall, Hui Lau Shan is a stellar dessert shop with an outstanding staff, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a tasty bite.

We tried the mango sago dessert and the double skin milk with fresh fruit--both were super fresh, not overly sweet, and had that comforting homemade texture. The mango was ripe and fragrant, and the milk pudding was silky and smooth. Drinks were also a nice surprise, especially the creamy ones like avocado milk. Rich but still easy to drink, not heavy or artificial tasting. Service was friendly and patient, even when it got a bit busy. Everything came out quickly and nicely presented. Overall, a great spot if you're craving traditional-style Chinese desserts with a modern, cute twist. Perfect for a casual sweet treat or a chill afternoon stop.

Counter service and kiosk ordering is available. Heard mixed things from friends who come here often (quality can be hit or miss), so keeping expectations in check. But this dessert was solid: pandan jelly, mango, and sticky rice all had a really nice chew to them, and the coconut milk on top kept everything light instead of heavy. Not overly sweet at all, which made it perfect after a meal nearby. Will be back to see if the rest of the menu holds up the same way.

One of my favorites was the healthy purple fried rice dishes. Ordered the pineapple one. I think whoever is making it now is a little heavy handed on the curry powder. It was overwhelming. The hock noodle soup was really really good. The broth had such depth and flavor. It tastes like a heart home cooked noodle soup. Their popcorn chicken uses white meat, soy oh can expect it to be on the dry side. The spicy shrimp and pork wontons were surprisingly good. The pork was soft and there was a whole shrimp inside. I really liked the spicy oil they use, it has a nutty tone to it. Finally, the mango carriage dessert. This is still consistently the best shaved ice! The portion is still huge. And I like that they did not skimp on the panda cotta swirls between the layers of the mango shaved ice.
