    Starting from left to right  D4 with no coconut juice  D7  D4  D7   All have chewy balls added on.

    First time at Hui Lau Shan since it opened! We came for the 4 drink deal for $22 dollars! When we arrived at 4pm on a Saturday, the line was slightly out the door and the wait to order and get everything took about 25-30 mins. The ambiance inside was nice, it looked like very modern and had quite a few tables to sit, but would not recommend bringing a big party inside. It seems like there was a one stall bathroom inside as well We got the D4, mango and coconut juice with sago and the D7, mango and coconut juice with crystal jelly. The drinks overall were super good and refreshing. The drinks weren't too sweet and you can really taste the real mango flavor which is nice. When the drinks overall mixes it has a nice creamy coconut mango taste which is not too overpowering on the mango nor coconut flavor. The sago was nicely cooked, with every sip, you do get a good chunk of sago. It is in the softer side where you don't really need to chew. The crystal jelly had more of a bite than the sago and are kinda cut like crystal jelly noodle strands but are not chewy. Overall a nice refreshing drink. I personally preferred the crystal jelly over the sago. Next time I would come back but would like to try the desserts with the chewy balls or coconuts noodles!

    I got the Mango Coconut with Sago! The drink itself was good, but the mango wasn't very sweet this time. My cousins and I also tried their mango mochi, which was pretty good. I'd rate it a 6 or 7 out of 10. It's sweet on the inside! Their chewy balls are so delicious, I could seriously eat a whole tub of them! The workers are super sweet, and the environment is really nice too!

    When I heard a new Hong Kong style dessert place opened in town, I had to check it out. I used to go to Sweet Honey regularly until they closed. I'm glad we have another place now. The overall theme is mango. There are other dishes available but their primary focus is mango flavored desserts. They have a pretty extensive menu. Once you order, your items come out pretty quickly. This place gets busy since it's newer. But they seem to move quickly, so you're not waiting long to order or get your food. Pros: love their mango desserts, especially their mango mochi. So far I've enjoyed almost everything I ordered except the black sesame soup. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Cons: there are quite a few businesses in the same business complex so parking fills quickly. Seating is limited, not ideal for groups.

    Been here so many times already since they've opened and every single time regardless of the timing the customer service has been amazing!! One time I even came in really close to closing and their customer service was SO good. They apologized for the "wait" even though it was quick and it was my fault for coming in so close to closing. Good Customer service is pretty rare nowadays so that itself deserves 5 stars. The menu itself is like any of their other locations but I definitely taste the freshness here and consistency. My favorite items are D3 & D4 along with their mango crisp. As for ambiance, the AC is always blasted. Good amount of seating. The store itself is clean too. Definitely will be coming here weekly!!

    They are so busy and the line is long but it's worth the wait. We got mango mochi, mango chewy ball dessert and mango coconut with sago. Everything was very tasty. I think you can't go wrong with anything here if you like mango. Service is very fast considering how busy they are. The place is bright and clean. But it can feel crowded with how big the line is. Can't wait to come back for more~

    We loved going to this place when visiting Dallas, Berkeley, and some other cities so we were so glad to see them open this year in the Sacramento region. Must try: 1. Mango Sago Pomelo (side of chewy balls) Highlights: Fresh tasting mangoes and pomelo pieces with just the right amount of sweetness. What looks like mango ice cream taste much less dairy (a good thing). Can't recommend it enough... especially if you get a side of chewy balls! 2. Coconut Mango drink was pretty good, but the wifey thought the balance was off (too coconut leaning). The line was long, but it moves. Will be back, of course!

    I was so excited when I heard that this Hong Kong dessert chain was coming to Elk Grove. We got there at 7:45 pm on a weeknight and waited about 20 minutes. The staff is hustling and got the desserts and drinks out pretty fast. Hui Lau Shan specializes in mango desserts and drinks. We ordered the mango chewy ball, mango sago, mango pancake, and mango mochi. My favorite was the mango chewy ball because of its variety - it contains glutinous rice balls, mango puree, mango icy, fresh mango, and mango pudding. The mango sago was good but was more simple and plain. The mango pancake was interesting. The outside wrapping was kind of similar to a crepe but with a different texture. It had whipped cream and mango inside. The miss for me was the mango mochi. The mango inside of it tasted a bit artificial. I would get the mango sago or mango chewy ball again. Definitely try this place out but be wary of the crowds if it is a "peak" time. Can't wait to try their drinks next time!

    Heard this place can get packed with lines out the door so I'm glad we came in during a slower time. We got a variety of items listed in the caption and all were very tasty, fresh and not overly sweet. Definitely would come again, especially for the mango with sago and mango with pomelo but in drink form

    Mango galore! The line is long, but does go by fast. Now that they open from 2-9pm, I will definitely take advantage of their new hours and come during off hours to avoid the crowd. The mango chewy balls weren't very chewy and was actually pretty hard. The mango ice cream was icy. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be mango ice cream, but if would taste better if it was blended more finely or smoother. I usually don't like the mango mochi because of the coconut flakes but it was pretty soft and delicious. I ordered the A2- Mango Romance to get a taste of everything. I had always loved Hui Lau Shan in LA because their mango is ALWAYS sweet at any time or the year. I would have to try it in the winter to see if it's up to standard. But overall, the desserts weren't overwhelming sweet and the mango was soft, delicious and fragrant.

    I stopped by Hui Lau Shan after doing a quick search on Yelp and seeing this was a Hot and New spot in the area. I wasn't prepared for how popular they would be though. When I arrived there was a long line, but luckily it wasn't out the door (yet). I love that they had ice water outside for people who may be waiting longer, and that they had display versions of the desserts so you can see what the options look like before purchasing. While I was waiting I did a little people watching to see what others were ordering, all the tables were filled and everyone seemed to be hapily enjoying their treats. By the time I got to the front of the line I wanted everything, but ended up ordering the Passionfruit Mango Icy ($8.25), Mango Pudding ($5), Mango Chewy Ball ($7.95), Mango Pancake ($7.95), and Mango Mochi ($10.75). When I told the staff I'd be driving back up to Sacramento (during rush hour) they even added ice to one of the insulated bags to make sure things stayed cold. Once I got home I tried everything! Passionfruit Mango Icy: This was probably the most surprising of the desserts. The mango taste was the most prominent, and while there were definitely passion fruit seeds from fresh passionfruit the flavor was a bit overshadowed. I did get a few sips though that definitely had more of the passion fruit flavor. There were also chewy pieces at the bottom of the drink. I'm not sure what it was but they added texture and were really nice as part of the drink. Overall, even without a strong passion fruit taste, it was very good and I would absolutely order it again. Mango Pudding: This was a nice thick pudding and was less sweet and had chunks of fresh mango in it. Great if you want a bit less sweetness. It was also nice and creamy. Mango Chewy Ball: This one is probably best enjoyed at the restaurant. It was tasty and the balls added texture. It was also refreshing and a bit sweeter. Mango Pancake: This was my favorite. The combination of the thin crepe-like wrapping, the fluffy whipped cream, and the fresh mango was so good. I would order this one every time. Mango Mochi: These came in a cute box and were pieces of fresh mango covered in mochi and then coconut flakes. They were fresh, and great small poppable bites. These are perfect for sharing. I need to explore more of the menu, but have had a great experience so far.

    Coconut Jelly with Mango & Mango Chewy Ball

    I've been wanting to get desserts here, but didn't want to wait in a long line. Luckily, there wasn't much of a line when I went in the evening. I only waited 10 minutes. The place is smaller than I expected, with only 7 small tables inside. I went with the mango chewy ball and coconut jelly with mango. The former was refreshing, but I thought the size was small. I saved the coconut jelly for the next day. I liked the smooth jelly, but the chewy white balls were not chewy anymore.

    Made the mistake of coming here when it was 100 degrees (not kidding) outside and since it is still limited hours, there was quite a wait. They did have a container of ice water outside. The line actually didn't take that long. And yes, it was worth the wait. EVERYTHING Mango! Shoutout to the staff. They were very efficient and friendly even though the line was out the door, and then some... All of the items we tried tasted fresh and not overly artificially sweet. They were actually perfect. We were also offered a cute To Go bag. Very limited seating but we just happened to have the right timing and scored a table for 3. The seats are actually quite comfortable. My only "con" was that it was quite warm even inside the store. On the way to the restroom, I noticed the thermostat was at 80 degrees. With a store packed with that many people, they should lower the temp to make the experience a bit more enjoyable.

    Saw Hui Lau Shan had opened their EG location and was super excited to try it! I came a bit after 8PM on a Wednesday and the line was way out the door to the corner of the businesses, so I decided to attempt another visit the next day. Fortunately I got lucky the next day, the first day they changed their opening hour from 5PM to 2PM, so maybe that was why I got lucky with a total wait time of about 10-15 minutes a bit after 4:30PM. Normally, I like to get taro items, but since their menu is mainly mango-based, I stuck with this and ordered the following: Mango Mochi ($10.75), Mango & Coconut Sago ($6.50, Drink), Mango Sago ($7.95), and Red Dragon Fruit Icy ($8.75). It's rare I like every single item I get from any place, but I actually enjoyed each thing I ordered. My favorite item was the Mango & Coconut Sago drink. (I'm partial to coconut items though.) I'm not sure why the Mango Sago is more for less quantity; I can only assume less additives in this item, as it did seem less sweet. I did get a complimentary bag with my $30 purchase on Thursday, July 30th. (Not sure if they've run out by now.) They also have a cute bag they package your items in. Super close to me, so I look over into the parking lot anytime I'm driving by...I think the line inside the door must have been a fluke since I've seen a line every other time, even in the 100+ degree heat. Super glad to have this HK chain open near me (but hopefully the lines will die down at some point)!

    Interesting place but not to our taste…read more We stopped by to get a thank you gift for someone at the Elk Grove dealership. The donuts are definitely pretty, colorful and unique. The injections or syringes full of sweet fillings are quite novel. Kids love 'em. I know they were super popular when a student's parent brought Bad Bakers donuts to celebrate their birthday. So presentation wise, they have it down. Taste wise, ugh. Texture is all wrong and way too sweet. I grabbed an old fashioned donut to take home and by the time we got home, it felt all mushy, unlike old fashioned donuts at other shops. You know it's bad when the donut sits around at home untouched by everyone! But I'd say it's a good place to go for maybe kids, teens and younger customers who just want a cool-looking donut and some sugar. Our gift recipients thought they were super cool though. I kinda mumbled under my breath that they look amazing but not sure how great they taste (having tried the Roseville location in the past). Neat place but not quite our thing.

    Given them a couple tries but it's just not for me. It's waaaay too sweet and some of the flavors…read morearen't so good. I don't like the gimmick of squeezing your own jelly/jam into the donuts. It's wasteful and inconvenient when you are trying to eat on the go.
