    J2. Jumbo Pomelo and Mango with Sago
    Anthony H.

    Saw a clip on this place on Instagram and I added to my hot list. On a recent visit to the UCB campus we stopped by here after lunch. The place is very small. Only 4 counter seatings with high stools and a small table for two. Some reviewers said there is another room in the back, but when we visited there was a barrier erected in the hallway preventing access. You can order using the kiosk or from the staff. This place specializes in fresh made mango and coconut desserts/drinks. These type of cafes are popular in Hong Kong so we are so glad now it is available close to home. We ordered the Mango with Dragon Fruit Icy, Mango with Crystal Jelly, and the jumbo Mango with sago and pomelo. The mangos for each drink tasted so fresh and they were generous with the portions. For a warm day like the day we visited, these dessert drinks were so refreshing and the combination of fresh mangos with other desserts like crystal jelly, chewy balls or sago were so delightful. The jumbo mango with sago and pomelo can easily be shared by two so for the price it was a great value. We vow to return to try other items from the menu.

    Nice little dessert place. This is a HongKong dessert name known for their sweet delicious mango desserts. We ordered the C4 mango pancake and A1 Jumbo mango chewy balls. Maybe it's no longer mango season so the mangoes in our orders were p sour. Even the mango ice cream in the A1 was sour and icy. So try only when mangoes are in season or other non-mango desserts?

    One evening in Berkeley, after dinner, we searched for a dessert place to walk off our meal. We discovered Hui Lau San, which has limited seating. Only one staff member was working, and orders were made at a kiosk, as is common today. Many to-go orders were visible. The staff was friendly and efficient. We enjoyed the coconut jelly with mango, which was delicious, along with the coconut jelly with rice. The sago with coconut milk had a delightful flavor. I would love to return and explore more of their menu.

    I always enjoy coming here for a good mango coconut sago. The place is small with limited seating so I would consider it most mostly a two go spot but if you get lucky, you can have a small group sit there. They are very quick to serve you and their drink drinks are very refreshing. I've tried multiple items on the list and I liked them all, but I really enjoy going there specifically for the mango sago. Of course it's downtown Berkeley so parking can be tough but usually when we go there we've gone somewhere else before so it's not an issue. They are a self order location unless you need help they will help you.

    Really good and fast service. Mine as shown below is ordered through fresh daily made at Weee! It is so sad that they closed sister stores in Asia such as those ones in Hong Kong. The fast food cafe like atmosphere also reminds me of happy, carefree days as a Cal student so I will keep ordering and supporting them. The best thing about Asian dessert is that the taste and sugar level is always "just right" and never too sweet!

    C8. Coconut Jelly With Mango
    Jim N.

    This Hong Kong style dessert shop is amazing. It's been years since I been to one. Ihe coconut jelly with mango is out of this world. The delicate coconut flavor with an incredibly rich, creamy, and velvety texture is out of this world. The fresh chunks of mango mixed in with the bouncy coconut jelly is just amazing. The location is modest at best. I've been to other stores where it's much nicer but the desserts are all exceptionally good regardless of the store. This is one of my favorite places for dessert, so good I would go out of my way just to get it.

    The durian boba was pretty good. I could smell the durian from the cup. The durian is not super strong, to be expected from a boba that isn't like really expensive. But I liked the taste and mix of textures. I ordered on the ipad and sat at the table inside which is nice. Though I guess they're probably filled up quickly when the place is more busy.

    A5. Mango Coconut Noodle
    Pauline T.

    Came here after a spicy dinner with my friends, and this place hit the not-too-sweet craving we were looking for! We ordered the mango coconut noodle and durian pancake to split among three, which was the perfect amount for us. There wasn't a ton of seating, but we were able to crowd around a standing/bar table situation. A5. Mango Coconut Noodle: 4.5/5 - the base was a mango slush on the icier side, with a mango ice cream scoop (very frozen), coconut noodles, and mango chunks. This was very refreshing and not-too-sweet. The coconut noodles paired well with the slush and added a bouncy, slightly chewy experience. In retrospect, I think I was more so craving the coconut jelly with a side of mango rather than a mango forward dessert, but this still hit the spot. C5. Durian Pancake: 5/5 - The pancake was a thin green crepe that wrapped around a stabilized cream with a small, but potent amount of durian at the center that permeated every bite. It was perfectly not too sweet, creamy, and fruity/vanilla-y in the way durian is. Would recommend for durian fans. Would come again when I'm in the area!

    Authentic tasting Chinese dessert drinks. They seem to love mangos here, as most drinks here have mangos in it. So, the 3 stars is for 2 reasons. One, the slow service and number 2 the inability to customize drinks such as less sugar. The drink is super sweet and some things are premade like the bases. The coconut cream was cold and delicious but once again the mango and the rest of the drink was waaayyy too sweet for me. I'm sure it has more if not the same amount of sugar as a liter of Coca Cola.

    I absolutely, truly love this place. I got their mango sago drink and mango mochi, and both were super high-quality, they did not skimp with any of the mango pulp or mango fruit pieces in the drink and it was so absolutely delicious. It tasted super fresh and was made with care and attention. The mango mochi were soft pillowy pieces of thin crepe skin filled with cream with a little bit of mango in the center. It was barely sweet, which is the Chinese way and I absolutely love that. I think its super rare to find a quality drink shop where the drink and snacks quality are so high when it comes to mango. I think a lot of boba places in the Bay Area use still raw, unripe mango pieces and also dilute their mango drinks with tons of ice and still charge premium prices for them for little pieces of mango, but here they do not skimp on quality or quantity, while maintaining affordable prices. The quality is so high and the prices are so affordable for what they provide. So absolutely delicious, I will be back here as often as I can.

    Small shop with not a lot of seating, but most people just take it to-go anyway. I ordered through the kiosk both times visiting. It's kinda overwhelming, but using the search bar helps a lot! I got the Mango Crystal Jelly Cup and my friend got the Pomelo & Mango with Sago. Both were super refreshing and not overly sweet. Loved the mango smoothie base and the mango ice cream on top (more like sherbet texture). Mango chunks were a bit tart, but it's off-season so no biggie. Only complaint is the jelly was super long and slippery, makes it hard to scoop with their spoons. My friend's had coconut milk and pomelo in it, and she really liked it too!

    Mango & D9. Mango and Coconut Juice with Crystal Jelly
    Meriya S.

    I love this place! My husband and I ordered through Snackpass because it was our first time using the app, and I believe we got 5% off -- though I'm not entirely sure. We ordered the Passion Fruit Mango Icy and Mango & Coconut with Crystal Jelly, and we loved both drinks. The passion fruit mango is perfect for a hot day, especially after a heavy or oily meal -- it's so refreshing and really helps cleanse the palate. The mango & coconut is an amazing combination; the mango and crystal jelly balance out the richness of the coconut perfectly, creating a well-rounded, delicious drink that you have to try. The sweetness is just right -- not too sweet, which I really appreciate. The shop itself is quite small with limited seating, so it's more of a pick-up-and-go spot. The service was decent -- not over-the-top, but good enough for a quick stop. Parking can be a bit challenging, so keep that in mind when you visit.

    The Hui Lau Shan in Berkeley offers desserts and refreshments, everything made of mango. It has been around since 1960. The interior is warm and friendly, with muted pastel pink walls. The ceiling also had a nice stream of lights shaped like umbrellas. We enjoyed the mango slush with sago, along with the mango mochi and jumbo mango chewy ball. The sweetness was light, coming from the drink and the mochis. The jumbo was soft, creamy and chewy. We will stop by again the next time we visit Berkeley.

It was barely sweet, 50% is the lowest sweetness you can set for this drink. I was disappointed by this one as I felt the tea and floral flavors could've been stronger, it really just tasted of honey. Large chocoberry bliss, warm, 50 sweet (which was the recommended sweetness): It's a non caffeinated drink and can only be hot or warm. It tastes of dark chocolate with strawberry. It reminded me of hot chocolate but with a strawberry milk flavor, I liked it and would recommend trying it when it's in season if you enjoy sweets and chocolate in particular. Cheese creamer black tea, no ice, 0% sweetness, large cold: The tea is truly bitter when at 0% sweetness, which is what I intended. A generous thick amount of creamer on top. It doesn't mix easily with the tea. Note that on Snackpass, they add another $0.25 onto the price of your drink for "city cup fee" - referring to City of Berkeley's fee charged for plastic drink cups. I have found they're usually pretty fast at making the drinks and they may be done earlier than what Snackpass estimates.

I've done this before without issue, but this time, a woman with crazy eyes who seemed to have a higher role came out and very abruptly scolded me, saying, "You CAN'T eat outside food here," while aggressively pointing toward the door as if I needed to leave immediately. I completely understand having a no-outside-food policy, and I would have had no problem following it if it had been communicated respectfully. But the way she approached me felt unnecessarily harsh and honestly pretty upsetting. I apologized right away, packed everything up in a panic, and left. After processing it, I realized how inappropriate the interaction felt for something that could have been addressed with a simple, polite reminder. Overall, Asha has great matcha, a cute space, and friendly baristas, but that experience really left a bad taste in my mouth. Just a heads up: the drinks are good, but you may want to be careful about bringing outside food in, because the policy might be enforced in a pretty unpleasant way.
