I was lied to- as far as I can tell. I ordered online- almond paste with sweet ball, then black sesame paste with sweet ball. When I got there, I noticed in the container that the "almond paste" was very watery. The lady said for this version with the sweet ball, it is supposed to be watery. If it's true, then the black sesame one that we ordered should have been watery as well - it wasn't. The black sesame one was the perfect, expected paste. Not happy. We purposely drove further to support this cafe. They could have just said they didn't have any and I could have easily ordered something else. I'm very disappointed. If I am incorrect about the texture, I will retract this review. But from years of having this almond paste dessert, I have never had it with this watery texture. I kept the two stars because the black seasame one was great.
Came to pick up some Chinese dessert on the eve of Chinese New Year. Traditionally people have glutinous rice balls for good luck. Being too lazy to get some at T&T to cook up, decided to give Full House a try. Got the black sesame/almond mix with glutinous black sesame rice balls along with their famous durian and mango pancakes. Wife really enjoyed the black sesame and almond mix. It's not very sweet but very flavourful. I actually prefer it being a little watered down rather than the typical black sesame thick textual due to the addition of the almond milk. The glutinous balls were super soft and the whole dessert was perfect on a chilly night. Next are the durian and mango pancakes. I don't recall the last time I had durian and never in a pancake form. On a smell test, you can definitely smell the durian, but it actually has a subtle sweet taste. So don't be scared even if you are not a big durian fan. The cream and the pancake skin is not very sweet at all and the entire pillow of goodness goes very well together. Personally I prefer the mango one as I'm more of a mango fan in general. The mango they used is pretty sweet and overall makes a very tasty little treat. The people at the store were courteous and friendly. They are doing their hardest to survive this pandemic and like every small business, has its struggles. So if you are looking for a Chinese dessert or something's unique and fruity, give them a try. I'm sure it will help them survive what could still be a hard road ahead.
Reason for Visit: Needed to bring dessert to a dinner party so decided to check out what is the hype with this highly rated dessert take out restaurant. Menu: So first thing to mention is this is a PURE take out restaurant. When I arrived, there was quite a line. TBH, this was pretty much the only place with a line in the entire plaza so that was a good sign. The menu had a lot of traditional usual Chinese dessert items but what they are known for is their sago. So it was a no brainer to try their popular mango full house sago, but then I noticed they also serve durian sago which is a pretty rare menu item for these Chinese dessert restaurants. To my surprise when I went home, the durian sago was legit. So legit that the entire house smelled like durian, they were very generous with fresh durian and if you are a durian lover, this is definitely worth your value. It was quite tasty but be warned, this is the real stuff. Mango full house sago- very well done with lots of chopped fresh mango. What can I say, tasted like what I would expect it to taste. The prices are a bit pricier than some places going for ~$8 / dessert for a take out restaurant, but they really do make everything fresh and put effort into their business. Service: The cashier was very friendly and organized. This is an efficient well ran take out restaurant. Atmosphere: Literally just a take out restaurant so don't expect to find a place to sit down and eat. Overall: Despite higher prices, I would come back again to try their other options simply cause of high quality and the staff's passion in running their small business. Note: their new rewards app (need a phone for this) gives you a reward every 8 order. And also, a free 50% coupon for your 2nd dessert if you sign up.
Haven't been here for ages. I love their pancakes. Decided to get some desserts after my dinner. Got the Full House Sago and Durian Pancake. They use to have seating, but now it's just strictly takeout only. I've also noticed they updated their logo and even have a points system app. As well as app coupons. As usual their desserts are yummy! Full House Sago (Mango Puree, Pomelo Flesh, Sago Pearls and Mango Flesh). Just the right sweetness and so refreshing on a hot day. Durian Pancakes are Fluffy and A Strong Smooth Durian Filling!
I got the mango pancakes and the Full House Sago. These mango pancakes were so soft and fluffy like a pillow! The pancake wrap was also super thin. Inside, the pancakes are filled with whipped cream and a lot of real mango chunks. I loved that the Full House Sago, which is basically a mango pomelo sago, has huge chunks of real mangoes as well! These are a must-try for mango lovers! Or if you're into durian, they have a whole line of durian desserts too! Also, if you sign up for their rewards app on Storellett, you can get a coupon for a FREE Full House Sago when you buy a pancake! This location inside Richlane Mall and their Markham location in Langham Square are both only for take-out. There is no seating area, it is only a grab & go store.
It is so hard for me to get desserts at Full House Desserts. I dropped by too early that they are not open! I dropped by and they suppose to be open but they are not open! Finally I drop by they are half open! It is a Saturday night at 9:30 pm. All the tables and chairs were stacked together. No one in the front cash. Half of the metal railing was pulled down. Oh they said they almost sold out of everything and they are closing soon! hmmm.. Just take out and with limited choices. I am a huge FAN of durian. Yes I know it is smelly to some one i.e. my boyfriend.. but I just love the smell. I have to admit that my dog loves that smell too! When I start eating my Sago with Durian and Mango ($6.50), my dog was really looking at me with hungry eyes and want to have a share of that! Yes it is delicious, and the durian meat inside is huge meatball sized. (BTW, durian being the King of Calories in fruits are all forgotten!) The nice lady said I should always call before I drop by because they close/open whenever they like or when they sold out!.. That is so so encouraging!
Meh. I ordered the durian pancake and the sesame soup. The durian pancake was a little over 10 dollar. I was expecting something big, but it came with two small piece. It's mostly filled with whip cream with a little tiny piece of durian. The sesame soup was very starchy and it didn't taste like real sesame. This would not be on my go back list. This place only does take out. If you want to sit down and chill for a bit don't come here.
Mango pancake: So when asked what was popular at Full House Dessert, they recommended this Mango Pancakes which was getting all the rave lately, so obviously we had to try it. Made with fresh mango, light fresh cream, and the light pancake layer. Literally three main ingredients to make this little bundle of joy To be honest I'm not a mango fan, but this I can have everyday! The cream was super light that it's almost tasteless. The pancake layer was so thin, I thought I was going to break these pillows before taking a picture! You could barely feel it in your mouth. The mango was definitely fresh and sweet. It was ALL MANGO If you love mango.... or even just like it, this is a MUST try. Full house sago: Okay hands down love this sago dessert. It's creamy, but not heavy like heavy milk. And it has the perfect level of sweetness you can definitely tell that the mango is fresh and there were a ton of mango pieces! They surely didn't skim out on those mangoes! they used coconut milk in the dessert. Obviously small sagos were throughout. What threw me off was the pomelo! Wasn't expecting that hint of tanginess as you burst each pomelo in your mouth! It was surprising but definitely not in a bad way! 100% would recommend this to everyone. Wether you like mango or not, this is a must try. Durian pancake: If you love durian.... or even if you are gutsy enough to try the king of fruit, then this is for you! The Duran taste isn't overwhelming but it's also not lacking! It's just right that sweet sweet sweet savoury taste of creamy durian surely brings mama lee back to her days growing up in Malaysia and Singapore The cream was super light that it's almost tasteless. The pancake layer was so thin, I thought I was going to break these pillows before taking a picture! A must try for those who are daring and for those who are already a king of fruit fan!
I think they have the best Full House Sago in Toronto! It is the classic mango dessert with pieces of grapefruit. This one is comparable to those in Hong Kong, as most other places here are really not up to par when it comes to this classic favourite. The mango base is smooth and the perfect balance of sweet and tart. The mango and grapefruit are of good quality. I am not a huge durian fan but I heard their durian desserts are also impressive. My only complaint is that the prices are very high for all their menu items. There is also no seating now so it is take-out only.
New favourite dessert! Their mango pancake (or mango pouch as I like to call it) is delish, a soft crepe packed to the brim with mango and cream~!! Just look at the plumpness of this cute cute cute mango pouch!! This is the epitome of an adorable dessert! n.n Only $10.15 (tax included) for an order that comes with 2 pieces~! Highly recommended!!! n.n
I'm super thankful that they are here to continue their legacy from Hong Kong!!!! Their Full House Sago brought back so many childhood memories! I started going to their dessert shop in Saikung when it first opened in the mid 90s. I don't live in Toronto, but will definitely come back and visit!!! Will get the Full House Sago with tofu tomorrow before I leave town!
Durian Pancake - 4/5 A bit Pricey, the pancakes are smaller than I thought. The Durian isn't too overpowering so that can be both a good and bad thing depending on how much you like durian. There's a lot of cream on the inside which tastes good but masks the durian flavour a bit. Overall still a tasty treat for durian lovers.
I am not a fan or durian and yet looking at these photos I have to figure there's gotta be something about these pancakes. The location is in a small plaza than sometimes or a lot of the times seems mostly abandoned, but believe me folks there is life here. The service is usually very quick and the pancakes themselves can be pricey. I believe is was like 10.99 for the two durian ones (almost 5.50 a piece) and the mango was 8.99 or something of that sort. The outside, or the pancake skins in the most interesting thing I suppose. It's delicate enough that it doesn't take much to tear into or break the skin of it. The cream is subpar. Partner corner: My partner describes it as tasting like canned whip cream. The durian is pungent and custardy. If you like it, it's probably a bonus in flavour. For me, I can't seems to enjoy it that way. I didn't mind it but I probably wouldn't seek these out again. The mango ones were better in flavour but I felt like perhaps worse in construction. I get the idea of slicing them into their chunks. Overall the cream again may have detracted from the overall taste. Overall not bad but I'm not sure these are worth the price. But you don't have to wait long.
Full House Desserts was open late which was perfect for us this past Friday night. It's inside of Richlane Mall which contains several restaurants, bakeries and desserts (predominantly Cantonese, but there is a sushi and a Korean restaurant there too). You can pay with debit/credit cards, but there is a convenience fee each time. All the desserts looked really good, but we decided to get a couple off of their "Mango Favorites" list. MANGO PANCAKE 芒果班戟 - 8.99 This was so good, especially the thin and elastic skin that wrapped the contents (cake and whipped cream). The mango flavor was strong and the dessert itself had the texture of a fluffy and bouncy cake rather than a pancake (I'm used to flat pancakes). It's not too sweet, a light dessert and good option to share since each order comes with two separate pancakes. FULL HOUSE SAGO 楊枝甘露 - 7.99 Sago in mango pudding/sauce? It's smooth and good, and the sago made it better with its texture. Also not too sweet! read more
We came here twice this week and it was because we downloaded their loyalty app from our last visit. In the app, There was a coupon for a free mango full house with any purchase of a pancake. The pancake was good but I wish it was cold vs room temperature. We tried swapping the complimentary mango full house for the one with tofu (since it's the same price on the menu) but they couldn't. The mango full house was good, but definitely missing the tofu. read more

This dessert place is owned by a family from Hong Kong. The desserts are made to order. You will NOT be disappointed. Their items are always fresh, mango sago, durian pancake, mango pancake. The pancake is thin and so good, cream not as sweet. You can definitely feel the smooth mango on the mango sago, no weird unripe mango no stringy stuff in it, just perfection. They recently added boba tea.... The BEST bobas in town are here!!! The family is very friendly and they are proud to make these types of desserts! read more

Love coming here for sweets in the late hours of the night. Everything here is take out! There is a lovely mom and family who help us and they are so sweet. It's great to see her and her kids working so hard. The desserts here are great! I love the durian pancake, the cream is fresh and the durian is so good. The crepe is so light as well. If your not a big durian fan, go for mango! It's a great alternative. The mango sago desserts is good too. Not to great if you leave overnight in the fridge though, it tastes a little sour the next day so i recommend eating it within 1-2 hours Only complaint would be the hours. The hours are late at night and only open for a few hours which makes it hard if your having cravings during the day. Also it's very pricey. It's about $9 for the pancakes which is pretty steep read more

Most of the products from their menu were delicious. It has been 3 years since I came here last time, I love this place but I do not live in this area. This time I ordered 4 items: Black Sesame soup - a traditional dessert which people said it is good for your health. I do recommend eat it while it is warm. Very smooth and strong sesame taste. Full house sago - the fantastic！My favorite dessert made with fresh diced mango, pomelo and evaporated milk sand sago. Not too sweet. Durian pancake - a must - try item from Full House desserts. Real durian with whip cream inside of the omelette. The omelette was thin and smooth. You have to hold it carefully on hand, otherwise, you will destroy a piece of artwork. Durian black glutinous rice - it surprised me the most. I did not expect the actual durain ball inside. Sweetness just right. The black glutinous rice add texture into it and make me want to keep eating it. read more

I have had durian pancakes before (in the motherland of Hong Kong to say the least) and so it speaks volumes when I say that these Durian Pancakes were actually better than any other durian pancake I've ever tried and better than the ones I've tried in Hong Kong. What?! How can that be?! I was so shocked and surprised myself too! These yellow durian pillows (tasted and felt like it) were so fluffy and soft. The skin of the pancake was incredibly thin and soft. It was amazing how well-made these were. Inside of the pancakes, there was some whipped cream and some substantial chunks of real durian fruit. Wow, it was amazing. It smelled so good and didn't even taste like frozen durian too. read more

The owner of this place is straight from Hong Kong and makes amazing Asian desserts. There is actually a place that sells desserts in Hong Kong by the same name (same Chinese name that is). My parents took me here and I fell in love! I'm a huge fan of the black sesame dessert. Honestly, I'm not sure of the exact name in English but it's the soupy dessert that is made from ground up black sesame seeds. Everything is made on the premise fresh and it's guaranteed to be piping hot when you get it, unless you ordered a cold dessert. If you see in their fridge those round yellow ball looking things, those are called Durian pancake. It's filled with fresh mashed up durian (that spiky fruit you see in Asian grocery stores) and fresh cream wrapped in a soft pastry. It is located inside a plaza and it is quite a small place. Has approximately 4 tables that each hold about 4 people but they will bring out the fold out tables and chairs and set them up outside in the plaza hallway. Honestly, you'll be very confused when looking at that very large menu, so go with a friend that knows their Asian desserts and be open to try anything because there are some weird things on the menu that you may have never heard of before. read more

Sad to see what was once a great desert place turn into a desert place that is still okay, but definitely not great. :( Deserts that were once rich and full bodied are now watery and really flat. Mm... I hope it gets better but since half the shop has turned into an incense oil shop, maybe that is where the owner's hearts are now. read more
Upfront, I'm going to say this place has a crazy business model, but they're certainly confident enough in their product to let customer service go out the window. And I have to admit that their product is fantastic indeed. Full House Desserts is located inside a small mall on Leslie St, with mostly small restaurants inside. They open from 7 PM - 12 AM (closed Wednesdays), after most of the other restaurants have already closed. The place itself is very small, with only room for 5 dark wooden tables inside (seating at most 2-4 people/table) but they spread out folding tables all out front in the mall corridor, and here's where larger groups cluster. They are understaffed for the amt of business they do, with usually only 2 or 3 people trying to keep up with all the orders (and running around to do it). My friend and I visited three nights in a row last week (from out of town, not going to get this again for a while). On the first, we arrived just before 9 PM to find the place lit but their roll up gates half-closed, tables/chairs stacked up inside, and a few groups of people milling around outside. Seemed they decided to close up sometime to handle take-out orders only and told everyone to return at 9:15 PM. But they didn't bother to put up a sign to that effect so we saw group after group of people show up trying to figure out what the story was. Seated promptly 20 minutes later inside, we perused the double-sided menu, divided into traditional Chinese dessert soups (hot), mixed soups (think cocktails) (also hot), sesame-filled dumplings in every combination of the former (hot), a few herbal soups, cold versions of the traditional soups, cold sago soups, a mango section, and a durian section. As extensive as this sounds, there are several basic soups and add-ons, like black glutinous rice, that really form the basis for nearly everything. This night, I tried the sesame soup mixed with walnut soup, served in a traditional Chinese rice bowl as a tan-colored soup with several artful black sesame swirls that you mix before eating. I loved this. The nutty flavors of sesame and walnut are subtly infused in the soup, and these combined beautifully with just a whisper of sweet. We spotted the bright mango pancakes being served at another table and decided it would be worth a second visit to eat the soups again along with the pancakes. On day 2, with 2 friends in tow, we tried ordering the pancakes and were told that mango and durian pancakes had to be reserved a day in advance, and highly recommended paying to guarantee they'll be held for us the entire next day. Now assured a third visit, we reserved 2 and pre-paid. I had the sesame-filled dumplings with sesame and walnut soup this day and those two dumplings, made of glutinous rice, were one of the best I've eaten, deliciously chewy yet light. Sampled a few other cold sagos and hot soups, everything excellent, especially the hot black glutinous rice. On day 3, the four of us returned around 10:30 PM and tried the mango pancake. An order came with two, brightly yellow (almost cartoonishly so) and fist-sized. The thin pancake is wrapped around a light whipped cream filling dotted with cubed mango. A very very light dessert that didn't precisely wow on first bite but it grew on us until we couldn't stop eating until it was gone. I attempted to get the sesame filled dumplings again, in a different soup base, but was told b/c of the late hour, they were sold out. I ordered black glutinous rice in hot walnut soup instead; that was very good also, but less so than my previous orders. My friend attempted to order black glutinous rice in a hot soup after my order came, but was told they sold out of the hot version of the rice and would have to order it cold. So in sum, come early if you want full pick of the menu, call-in take-out orders ahead of time, and reserve mango or durian pancakes (or possibly other items) in advance. It really is worth it in the end. read more
My friend introduced me to this restaurant a long time ago and I finally got the opportunity to try it out. I came here on a Friday night and luckily, there was no lineup at all. I got the mango pancake which comes in a box of two for about $8. The filling was whipped cream and generous amount of mango chunks. The pancake itself was very thin and has a good consistency. Overall, I enjoyed the mango pancake but it's incredibly out of my way to come back here again. read more
Located inside the Richland plaza. There are a lot of selections in the menu for typical Asian sweets. I saw a lot of advertising online and decided to give it a try. I had asked what is the best item on the menu and was recommended for mango pancake. The price was rather pricy for the portion, the taste was definitely very good but in my opinion do not match the price it was offered. Maybe, next time I will try another item but overall, the experience was average. read more

The durian dessert was SO good and I don't usually eat durian fruit. We had a late night craving and this family run business was still open so we made the trip over and got a bit of everything to share. Very friendly service, we will definitely be back. read more

The environment reminds me of Hong kong. I have been here mostly at night night pigging out on the durian pancake. It seems a lot of people come here for this dessert! No doubt it is good, there is also mango pancake. They also serve traditional desserts and healthy tea. There is only one person working behind the counter and serving customers. read more
