Pretty relaxed ambiance. Plenty of seating available and the food comes out in about 7-9 min.

Authentic HK mango pancake

Came all the way from San Antonio to get some Hui Lau Shan. So thankful can have it in Austin to bring back my Hong Kong childhood memory. The HK mango pancake is a must try. All the desserts and drinks are amazing as always.

Mango Coconut Sago

I was craving a mango dessert drink and Hui Lau Shan popped up in my head so here I am. I got the Mango & Coconut with Sago and it was a blended drink. Even though mango is out of season, the drink was still really good and refreshing, no sourness at all. My friend got the Mango Swirl and he was alright with it, he said it's just mango smoothie but he wished he added toppings to it. The prices for the drinks are pretty cheap, between $6-7. I loved the Hui Lau Shan in Houston and this location in Austin tasted exactly like it, maybe even better.

They posted a notice saying that mangos are not in season, but they were still really sweet. I love how creative they got with mango. It's my favorite fruit. This was a delightful little place to get dessert after dinner and a really cute spot to eat in. The only thing is we didn't love the crisps, but everything else was great.

Came here to try some mango Asian dessert and it was pretty good. The dessert depends a lot on whether or not the mango is ripe and sweet. I got the mango triple delight which was mango, coconut and black glutenous rice. The combo together was unexpectedly good though I wish it was a tad sweeter. This is definitely not one of my favorite dessert places but a good option to try on days I want a more fruit based dessert. They're definitely good at what they offer. It's also a nice place you to hang out with friends much like a boba tea shop. In fact, they also offer a lot of mango boba tea like drinks.

I had heard of this place that makes desserts using mangos. Thought I would check them out and see what the hype is. It's a small side street. There is street parking. I did notice they open at noon. And I had arrived right at 11:56pm so I waited a few minutes until they opened. After looking over the menu I decided on the mango ice cream in a bubble waffle cone. The bubble waffle is made fresh. It's pretty large in size. The mango ice cream is good. It's creamy and tastes like mango. There is also small bite size chunks of mango as well. There is also these clear jelly clumps. They sort of had a coconut flavor. They were chewy and clear, and totally foreign to me. But they were good. I thought it was a nice dessert. And it wasn't that expensive for the amount you get. $8.50 Cute little dinning area with table and chairs. After I had sat down a group of people came in. Another small group came with their laptops. So it is a busy place first thing in the afternoon on a Monday. They do offer free WiFi.

My friend and I met at 6:30 pm on a Thursday night and the shop was empty when we went in, but by the time we paid and got our orders people started rolling in. Our deserts came out fast; I tried a mango sago and it was delicious. The serving size for the price is reasonable. Despite the mangos not being in season, they were still sweet and ripe. The shop was bright, airy and clean. There were a variety of tables to sit at, and even an outdoor picnic table. Remember to put in your phone number into the table when you order so you can earn points to their rewards program! I also ordered a black sesame soup before I left and they gave me the option to get it hot or cold. I opted in for a hot one, so although there was a little bit of a wait to warm up the soup, it was well worth the wait! I will be back for when I am craving a sweet treat!

The server dropped my drink at the start but it's okay because none spilled and she looked sorry. The drink was really good in the end and I loved it. I also had a durian item I didn't really like it but I could tell if I liked durian I would've enjoyed it a lot.

I got mango toppings on coconut jelly base. It was very refreshing and delicious. The mangos are not in seasons so it's not super sweet. They should have seasonal menu instead of relying heavily on mangos

Mango romance & mango coconut duo mix
Nancy G.

I am a huge mango lover, but unfortunately the mango did not deliver. :( The mango romance had 3 different smaller size desserts and I think it would've been so much better if the mango, which is the main star, was actually ripe. It was so sour and hard, which made me not want to keep eating it. 2/5 The best dessert of all was the mango coconut duo mix, it had black rice at the bottom which reminded me of mango sticky rice, but its own flavor to it. It would've been so much better with good mango. 4/5 Overall, nice location, parking is found on the street or behind the parking garage. Decent seating area, friendly staff! :)

Orders to go

We went around 8:45 pm and just about everything was not available. "Sold out" was the actual wording. Even so the family still had some available choices. My daughter had the mango romance and mango bowls with taro chewy balls and coconut noodles. Will try another time. However, not in Texas but in pasadena, California

jumbo chewy balls, and mango pudding
Alisa D.

Stopped by after visiting the restaurant next door. I love mango and they had amazing options for dessert. we got the Jumbo Chewy Ball and Mango pudding. Both were really delicious and smelled great. the only thing is the actual chewing balls were eh. but everything else was amazing and fast service. It was nicely decorated too!

Hui Lau Shan is easily in my top three dessert spots in Austin, and it's almost entirely because of one item: the black rice in coconut pudding. I've never had a dessert like it anywhere else in Austin. It's not overly sweet, but incredibly addictive! It's the main reason I keep coming back. The interior is bright and nice, though the chairs are way too low for the tables. Cleanliness can vary depending on how busy it gets, but service is good and I never wait too long for my order. There really isn't another spot like Hui Lau Shan in Austin. For unique desserts alone, this place is a must-try. 10/10 dessert spot for me!!

Uncle Tetsu specializes in Japanese-style cheesecake, a dessert I had never tried before…read more Therefore, my dessert palate was eager to try this intriguing treat. The cheesecake shop is located on N. Lamar in Crescent Plaza and focuses on takeout rather than dine-in service. I ordered their signature Japanese cheesecake, and it was delicious. Unlike traditional dense cheesecake, it was incredibly light, fluffy, and airy, with just the right amount of sweetness. The cheesecake featured a thin, creamy top layer that paired nicely with the soft, cloud-like texture underneath. Each bite melted in my mouth, making it unlike any cheesecake I have had before. It was both unique and completely satisfying. The shop itself is small and designed primarily for grab-and-go customers, with no seating area available. The store manager was friendly, welcoming, and happy to answer questions. Pro tip: Parking in Crest Plaza can be difficult during peak hours, so plan accordingly.

Uncle Tetsu is a chain with locations in Katy, Costa Mesa, and several other places. They started…read morein Japan in the mid-80s. It's just about a mile from where I work and I'll often walk over to grab treats for myself or my colleagues. In addition to Japanese and basque cheesecakes, they also have pretty good cookies. All of the cakes have the Uncle Tetsu character stamped in them...so adorbs. My favorite cakes are the Hokkaido Milk and Strawberry. They have a great flavor selection including seasonal flavors. I love these cheesecakes because they're like a cross between what you think a cheesecake should be and a soufflé. Fair prices. Fast and efficient service.

It was almost eleven o'clock at night and I had a serious sweet tooth. I honestly did not think…read moreanything would be open but my husband did his research and found this gem and I am so glad he did. Midnight Cravings is exactly what it sounds like. A late night spot that makes fresh baked cookies to order, topped with ice cream and all the fixings. You wait just a little bit but it is completely worth it knowing everything is made fresh right then and there. I ordered the Apple Bliss and it did not disappoint. A warm cookie topped with caramelized apples, caramel drizzle and Biscoff crumbs with two soft serve swirls of vanilla ice cream and additional caramel on top. Nine dollars. Nine. Considering the size, the quality and everything that comes with it, that is a deal. You can easily spend nine dollars on just a cookie or just ice cream somewhere else and get far less. The wait was minimal for something made to order and the end result was absolutely worth every second. That warm cookie with the cold ice cream combination and those Biscoff crumbs had me from the first bite. Honestly there should be more places like this. For anyone with a late night sweet tooth, whether you just left dinner still wanting something, or you just need that midnight fix, this is your spot. So happy my husband found it and we will definitely be stopping by again next time we are in Austin.

My fiance and I went this weekend - he got the Hot Like Lava, and I got the Pebble Crunch…read more Absolutely incredible. This photo is making me want to go back and get 5 more My only ask is have access to water - or if there is, make it more noticeable lol But that was the only 'issue'.

I really didn't want to like these donuts, because who needs a $9 donut, right? But I have to…read moreadmit, they far exceeded my expectations. Just to be clear, I AM somewhat of a subject matter expert. I have eaten all manner of fried dough creations from coast to coast, including Hawaii, and I have a lot to say on the topic. My favorite is still Cider Belly in Albany, NY, but I digress. The PB&J donut here is one of the best things I have ever eaten. I dragged it out for 3 days. Even semi-stale, and reheated in the microwave, it was still delicious. I put a scoop of Blue Bell vanilla ice cream on it which definitely helped. I also ordered a Heavenly Hash (one of my favorite ice cream flavors BTW) and a Naughty and Nice because I am all about the classics. They were both outstanding. No leftovers. I bought these donuts in lieu of birthday cake this year which may become my new tradition. Honestly, I think these are my new favorite donuts in Austin now.

Doughnuts made to order out of an airstream, you say?…read more Looks like they used to offer mini versions but that side of the menu is all mask taped over. When we went our choices were $9-$10 donut base desserts. I say base because the toppings cover up the donut visually. Despite that, there's no covering that scrumptious taste and texture. Wowaweea. Yes, you feel your cells expand and pants tighten and it is for sure run club pre and post, but quite worth it. These divine donuts have that cakey interior I love so much. We had the Puddin': cream cheese icing, vanilla pudding, fresh bananas with nilla wafers. According to the menu. Ours didn't have any nilla wafers and the presentation was uneven, hence the four stars. I didn't miss the wafers. The icing and pudding were one goopy topping and the bananas slices were half scattered slices and half banana chunk that I had to separate. Side notes: Gourdough sits on a corner with parking spots that are not free. There's a pay via QR code so you'll need a phone or something to scan that. Boo for digital shackles. Next note- I feel like this is a low key meet up spot. Like the way they tried to make the first train cars on the MTA the singles car? There was a series of singles getting doughnuts and they were a little done up for the occasion. Who knows. With the little IG ready love seats and doughnuts made for sharing, you could walk away with extra sugar.
