    First time here, went with the pandan mango sticky rice mochi dessert. Chewie and Mellow has a small location in this plaza with limited seating. 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.

    Such a cute bag!

    This is one of my favorite places to get dessert. I have been trying to find a good Hong Kong dessert place for a long time. Hui Lau Shan just isn't good anymore. Chewie and Mellow satisfies this craving so well! I got the mango coconut mochi drink and mango pomelo sago. The mango pomelo sago was so good! The milk pudding reminds me so much of melo melo but without paying the high price. Both of the desserts that we got had mangos that were really sweet. The mochi from the drink had a good texture and the drink was so addictive. I just wish they had actual mochi balls as a topping on the menu. That would be such a great addition to the desserts. The interior of this place had such a cutesy vibe. A lot of different pop mart figures and toys on the walls. Super whimsical feel. The to go bags that they give are also soo adorable! All in all, i love getting my dessert here!

    This is a cute little place for bubble tea or any milk puddings I got the pandan pudding and fresh mango pudding that was gone in 5 min!! Tha delish

    Look how CUTESY this place is?! It felt like a mini Pop Mart store with all the adorable decor & collectibles! My friend even got me a blind box to open The milk puddings were so yummy & filling! Soft, silky, and almost tofu-like texture. They literally melted in your mouth. I got the taro one, which had pieces of yam & other toppings that really brought the dessert together. My friend got the mango milk pudding, which had little bits of sago & pomelo that made it light & refreshing. We also tried the Peach Princess, smelled just like peach candy! Such a refreshing dessert for a hot day. My friend absolutely loved the mango drink too. Such a fun little dessert spot, delicious treats & cute vibes all around!

    Was recommended to this cute place by a friend! Right outside of John Wayne, there's this tucked away plaza with a bunch of food places, and Chewie and Mallow was right inside. The cafe itself has you order at the front, and there is a small, but cutely decorated seating area that leads down a hallway. (No bathrooms by the way, so you will have to go elsewhere if looking for that). I saw that they had a promo for a free milk pudding, and I tried to register for an account, and my friends and I ordered enough to make the cutoff, but then the guy at the register said that the account had to be another day old before I could use that promo sadly. We ordered the strawberry milk mochi, the mango tango, and the mango pomelo sago milk. All of these were delicious, and I really liked the smoothness of the mochi in my strawberry drink compared to 3cat's mochi. Drinks came out decently fast, and overall good service. Would come again next time I drop by the airport!

    My favorite place for hongkong style milk pudding. Locates in a big plaza with plenty of parking. Both of the Mango & Mango Pomelo Sago (杨枝甘露) Milk Pudding is very tasty, it balances between the sweetness, creaminess of the pudding and the tartness of the topping. Will return to try their bowl.

    Lots of pink

    Came here on a mission for the Coconut Revolution... and yeah, it revolted by not being on the menu . Audible called and landed on the seasonal watermelon coconut--and honestly, no regrets. This place hits that perfect "treat yourself" lane. The drink was super refreshing, nicely sweet, and loaded with that fun chewy texture that makes you feel like you're eating and drinking at the same time. You can customize sugar and ingredients, but I rolled with the standard and it was dialed in just right. On a hot Irvine day, this was exactly what I needed...a little pep in the step, a little sugar happiness, and a solid excuse to slow down for 10 minutes. Located in one of those busy Michelson shopping centers where parking feels like a competitive sport, but worth the effort once you've got a cup in hand. Bottom line for me: fun spot, great flavors, and a solid mood booster when life (or traffic) starts testing you.

    Super delicious especially the peach princess bowl drinks are really good too love it

    Refreshing dessert option. The red bean was yummy. Cooler bags available on request. The condensed milk could be more flavorful/higher quality

    The desserts here are always super yummy. I love the mango bowl and always sub out the purple rice. The vibes and decorations are super cute and fun. Service is usually pretty fast and orders move quick.

    The store is still running strong and the flavors are always delightfully welcoming to the tummy. The place got a cute vibe and I have been taking all my friends and gf here to try with positive results.

    First time here with friends and went on a weekday evening. There's indoor seating as well. I love how they sell blind boxes, their whole wall of their collections available to buy. There's also a lot up backdrops for pics. The service was great, kind and friendly. You can order at 2-3 kiosk or on the counter with an employee. I've only ordered the mango pomelo sago pudding; not too sweet and it comes in a small cup which was plentiful for a person. I'd come back here if I'm in the area to try their drinks since my friends enjoyed theirs.

    Great drinks and cute decor! Tried the taro and strawberry cloud mochi drinks which were very good. Also had the fresh mango milk pudding and it was very good and very refreshing, especially for a warm night. The service was quick and the worker was friendly and helpful. Would definitely come back here again! They definitely deserve more business.

    Cute sitting area

I spent about $14 for an açai bowl their tropical mango bowl I believe. I had some modifications since I didn't like the raw coconut offering or the banana so I opted for sliced almonds and extra mango with almond butter on top. After waiting a few minutes, looking at the bowl, it didn't look like much and sadly it didn't taste like much either. The almond butter was globed on top and made it really difficult to eat. After bypassing the almond butter I was able to get into the açai which was way too sweet. I'm not sure what type of açai they use, but it did not taste like a freshly prepared açai it tasted more artificial and overly sweet. It may have also been sweet because of the honey I believe they put on top of it. The combination of the açai with the honey and then almond butter was way too sweet. The mango was OK not as firm as I would want it to be and the granola was at the bottom at the bowl and also sprinkled on top, but unfortunately it was the worst acai bowl I've ever had. Parking is free and they do offer a few seats inside. The staff was also really nice but unfortunately, if I do decide to come back maybe I'll try a smoothie instead.

The mango chunks were good but not too sweet. The mango pudding, mango ice cream and coconut milk lacked distinct flavors. We've had the same dessert at Hui Lau Shan in Hong Kong as well as other Asian dessert specialty shops in OC...the one at Hui Lau Shan Irvine just does not taste right. Same problem with the egg waffle...not sweet enough, and although the paper container is adorable, the design also made the egg waffle get soggy quickly. Anyone who likes desserts more sweet would be disappointed here.

    **Disappointing Customer Service Experience -- August 24, 2026, Around 6:00 PM**…read more I've been coming to this store almost twice a week, so I'm very familiar with what my usual smoothie should look like. Unfortunately, my experience today, **August 24th around 6:00 PM**, was extremely disappointing. I ordered the **Berry Banana Burst** with an added spinach. While watching my smoothie being prepared, I noticed the employee added what appeared to be an entire bag of spinach. I immediately knew it was significantly more than what I normally receive. I politely asked if it could be remade because the amount was excessive and completely different from the usual amount I receive. The employee went to the back and brought **Cassandra S.** out. Cassandra told me they could not remake the smoothie simply because the spinach had already been added. I was honestly shocked. I explained that this was clearly not the normal amount, but she still refused. I then asked for the other employee's name so I could provide accurate feedback, and she refused to give me her name, which I found very odd and unprofessional. Ultimately, I asked for a refund, which they provided. While I appreciate getting my money back, it raises a bigger concern: if a customer receives a drink that is incorrectly made, is the response really to refuse to fix it and simply refund the customer? That doesn't seem like good customer service or a good business practice. I actually work in the ingredient industry and sell ingredients to **Nekter**, so I have a particular understanding of how important consistency, preparation, and customer experience are. I would strongly recommend additional training for the staff at this location, particularly around customer service, product consistency, and having a customer-first mindset. I've been a loyal customer and would have much rather had my smoothie remade correctly than receive a refund. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I'll be visiting another location going forward. I hope management reviews what happened during the **August 24th, approximately 6:00 PM shift**, because this was a very disappointing experience for a regular customer.
