This place never disappoints us every time we come, even when we bring first time customers. yesterday we had a group of six people and three of them were first time customers. Everyone in our group liked what they ordered, ranging from the red dragon, fruit mango, slushy, pomelo mango drink, pomelo mango bowl. There's so much flavor packed into each drink and [[HIGHLIGHT]]they always keep the inside of the store clean[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]the very bright environment very well lit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Black Sesame Soup with Chewy Balls (with tax = $7.52)
Ryan N.

Maybe it was because I heard too much hype about Hui Lau Shan or I just ordered the wrong item, but I was highly disappointed with my visit here. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside looked standard, but still nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was horrible. The person who rang me up had an attitude and didn't even say anything the whole time I ordered except when saying the total. She didn't even say hi. Customer service was not good at all. I got their Black Sesame Soup with Chewy Balls (with tax = $7.52) because my mom was craving it. It was really small and back ally had no flavor to it at all. It wasn't worth it, but I do hope they improve on their customer service in the near future.

I drove 30 mins from work just to get this top notch dessert and drinks.My only concern is that these desserts are quite pricey ($8-$10 per drink/tub) but I guess it is worth it since every time I go there it is very crowded. I love mangoes and they always put sweet mangoes!!!!

If you are a mango lover I definitely recommend coming here. They have a wide menu of mango desserts. The staff is nice and are able to recommend item from the menu. The service is super fast even when it's super busy as I have gotten my order within 5 minutes of ordering. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is seating where you can enjoy your dessert but it can get cramped since it is a small shop and there is two large tables right in front of the register.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Along with the noise level being loud when busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, great for mango dessert along with another fruits too. I recommend the Coconut Jelly with Mango (C8) or Mango and Coconut With Sago Drink (D4)!

Mango Coconut Sago
Chris F.

Wasn't super thrilled with the drink. The first 80% of it lacked any meaningful mango flavoring, and while it did get better towards the button of the cup it wasn't enough to save the overall experience. The service was pleasant and we got our drink extremely fast, but we got our drink so fast it felt like the drink was premade. This would've been fine if I enjoyed the taste but sadly I didn't. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I did enjoy the atmosphere though, felt extremely cozy and could definitely have seen myself chilling out here for a couple of hours if I enjoyed their food a bit more.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Jumbo Pomelo & Mango with sago
Joyce C.

Pricey but solid dessert place. They're fast with orders, and luckily there's no long line anymore. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's plenty of seating to eat in![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I always get the Jumbo Pomelo & Mango with Sago to share. It's layered with sago, an icy mango puree, coconut milk, pomelo pulp, and fresh mango chunks. The mangos are always sweet!

Their bubble tea is a little different as it's more of a smoothie or dessert type of drink. The service is fine but they do open later on in the day like at 12pm. Their main thing they look like they pride themselves in is the mango. If you're a fan of mango and smoothies or shaved ice this is probably the place for you. They had a few other things that were also dessert like to where you eat it with a spoon. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was actually cute though.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It looked like a chill spot to be at.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love their little display out in the front of the window it really show cased what they had to offer.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

As an avid mango lover, I was so excited to try this place since they have so many mango options! Even though they had a long line, the line moved fairly fast and we got our order within 5 minutes. We went around 10:30pm and rhey were still moving pretty quickly for processing orders. The Mango chewy ball was definitely my favorite and worth the hype! It was very unique and a must try dish at this restaurant! The mango coconut with sago drink was also amazing! The dragon drink was not that great. It has a very earthy taste more like red bean rather than dragon fruit so maybe the name is a bit misleading. The mango mochi was also good, but it wasn't as fresh as the other mango items there. I think I'd come back just for the mango chewy ball though!

Came here twice on my trip to Houston. I really loved the coconut jelly topped with mango. I tried some other things like the warm taro bowl or mango chewy ball with ice cream) but only the coconut hit the spot for me. The taro one was a tad too bland to me. The mango ice cream was just standard. The coconut jelly was the perfect amount of sweetness though.

Mango pomelo sago
Rachel S.

As many reviewers suggested, I tried the mango pomelo sago. It had layers of fresh mango, fresh pomelo, mango ice cream, coconut milk, sago, and mango jelly. Truly delicious! You can get it in a cup and it's kinda drinkable thru a straw but I had more success eating it with a spoon. The delicate coconut flavor blended well with the mango flavors!

Neha S.

This place is a hit or miss. The mangos were not in season when we went, so it was a miss this time, but I've been a couple times before, and it was very refreshing and hit the spot then. The service is also very fast because we got our food within 1 or 2 minutes max. I also needed a bag filled with just ice for a headache, and they were really kind to give it to me. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I like how cute and aesthetic and bright it is inside, but there's no air conditioning, so it's pretty warm.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Alex W.

The reviews made me a little nervous for this place, but it tastes just like other Hui Lau Shan's I've been to. If you don't like mango desserts, you're a hater! lol but if you come in expecting good mango drinks and desserts, then this is the place to be.

Are there any vegan options?

I don't believe so

What are the vegan options? What items contain egg? What about nuts or wheat, if any? (Asking for food allergy reasons.) Can't seem to find ingredients online.

When I stopped by on a weekday evening at 9pm it was packed. They had stations setup throughout the store to order different goods, which helped to alleviate the rush. Knafeh ($6) - They offered 2 types of knafeh, one with cheese and one with custard. I went with the one made with Nabulsi cheese and topped with shredded phyllo, and soaked in sugar syrup. It was warm, crispy and delicious! Karak tea ($5) - This milk tea drink was made with aromatic spices, primarily cardamom, cloves, ginger and cloves. I was happy to see they used whole milk instead of evaporated milk. The drink was incredibly rich and creamy and tasted great. Turkish delight ($18 / lb.) - This was extremely fresh, soft and chewy, made with cornstarch, sugar, nuts. Some of the varieties I tried had chocolate and/or fruits. The baklava here was fresh made with layers of phyllo dough, chopped nuts, and held together with some honey. The nut offerings here included, almonds, walnuts, peanuts and a few more. Overall I was impressed with everything they offered here with the exception of the nuts, which I thought were just ok. I'd definitely return if I was in the area.

The desserts here are fun, unique, and very different from what you find at most places. My only…read morecomplaint is the lack of labeling for many of the products. For example, with the Turkish delights and ice cream selections, only a few items are labeled. For most of them, you have to guess the flavor or ingredients. When I asked questions, there was a language barrier, and the staff member behind the counter was unable to clearly explain what the items were in English. This can be especially frustrating for customers with food allergies or dietary restrictions. In the U.S., I would expect all flavors and ingredients to be clearly labeled so customers can make informed choices. Even if staff members are not fluent in English, having accurate labels for flavors and ingredients would greatly improve the customer experience. The desserts themselves are excellent, but better product labeling would make the experience much more enjoyable and accessible for everyone.

Popfancy Dessert Bar: You're here for K-Pop, the desserts are the bonus…read more Let's be honest about what this is. You're paying for the K-Pop Demon Hunter pop-up aesthetic, the upbeat vibes, the fast service, the themed menu. The desserts? Solid. The Pinky Up Parfait hits. One scoop of cappuccino ice cream comes generous and tasty. Nothing disappoints. But nothing revolutionizes dessert either. This is good execution in service of a limited time experience, not destination-level pastry work. And that's fine. That's exactly what a pop-up should be. The real draw is that everything works together. Vibe, music, service, and desserts that don't let the side down. It feels fun, not gimmicky. That's harder to pull off than you'd think. Bottom line. Pop-ups don't stick around. If the K-Pop theme is your thing and you want solid desserts in a fun environment, go now. If you're just looking for great desserts, permanent spots do it better.

This is not a place you go to just have lunch or something.This place is an experience. Some adults might find joy in here (like I do), but my children definitely did, and that's worth it. They came here with the same excitement that they had for disneyland so I'm really happy about that. We all liked the harry potter experience and some different anime type experiences as well that my children liked. The foods and drinks are on theme and although it's not cheap, it's definitely not as much as Disneyland. We came on the weekends, but during lunchtime, and I can see how they might be really busy during the dinner rush. Sometimes you might need a timed entry to go in, but thankfully, we have not since we've been going. I will say that it's quite small and gets cramped really fast. I just think the experience of it all is a really cool and I'm happy we have fun places like this around us in Houston.

What's nudged this place up to 5 stars for me is they have really improved their coffee game, specifically their quality of cappuccino's. Previously it seemed more of latte, but now to me its a legit Capp. Their choice of pastries hasn't changed, which gives you a good assortment of choices and they have added an additional barista or server which also is a nice touch for service. The only niggling items, parking can be tough, so you'll have to either walk a block or be quick to find a place close by.

She told me to go to the bakers son and make sure I go early because they do sale out and people buy in bulk. I entered with intentions of only getting the ube bread but $40 and 5 items later I went slightly overboard. They have so many items and they all look delicious. The customer service was great and prices were really good. Now to the items, the ube bread is phenomenal, soft, sweet, flavorful 10/10. I also got a biscoff bread sandwich (I'm forget the name) which had the softest and most perfect bread I've ever indulged in. Now to what the employees recommended and the absolute star.

Since we were already in the area after breakfast at TJ's Filipino Cuisine, we finally got the chance to stop by and try their baked goods for ourselves. We arrived early, so the bakery wasn't too busy yet. The bakers were busy prepping more goodies in the back while my cousin and I browsed all the Filipino baked goods we really miss from back home in the Philippines. They even had suman, sapin-sapin, biko, and other kakanin, which was nice to see. I specifically looked for the chicken empanada, and my cousin wanted to try the ube white chocolate chip cookie. We also saw different kinds of siopao and planned to come back later to buy some before heading back to San Antonio. We tried the ube white chocolate chip cookie first, but honestly we weren't totally satisfied. It tasted more like a regular white chocolate chip cookie with purple coloring and didn't really have much ube flavor. I also tried the chicken empanada. My cousin didn't like it because it was sweeter than expected--we were both expecting it to be savory. There seemed to be caramelized sugar in the outside of the pastry, which probably added to the sweetness. I still like it, though it was definitely sweeter than what I'm used to. Red Ribbon's chicken empanada is still my favorite. Later that day before leaving Houston, we came back for the siopao we planned to take home. We finally decided to just buy a couple pieces for ourselves, heat them up in the bakery, and try them fresh. When we saw the price for a four-pack, we were honestly disappointed. It felt expensive for the size. The siopao wasn't huge, and while I like the dough, there wasn't much chicken filling inside. For the portion, taste, and quality, it felt overpriced. Overall, it's probably not worth making another trip back for us. We did enjoy the cassava ube suman, and I like the chicken empanada, but not enough to drive all the way to Houston just for those. If I live nearby, I might come back to try other baked goods, but based on this visit, I'm not sure the rest would impress my palate. I still give them credit for cleanliness and customer service, although we did notice fruit flies on one of the shelves and reported it. The staff was friendly, and the bakery itself was welcoming. At the end of the day, since they're a bakery, the expectation is great-tasting, quality, mouthwatering Filipino breads, pastries ", and kakanin. While some items were enjoyable, overall it just didn't quite live up to the hype for us.

There used to be one Cinnaholic in Austin, but sadly it closed down about a year or two ago. It was my favorite place to go to get cinnamon rolls. So you know that if I'm in the area of Houston, I have to make a stop. Lots of parking. I got the Biscoff cinnamon roll and my husband got the Irish coffee and cream cinnamon roll. I was a little bit underwhelmed with the Biscoff one to be honest. When I first cut into it, it was so thick and bready that I got confused for a second and said "um... where's the cinnamon? Is this just bread??" Eventually I DID get to the cinnamon part though. But that outer layer was all bread. Perhaps it was how bready it was or that I found the toppings slightly underwhelming but... yeah. Still yummy though but not my fav. My husbands though - his was amazing! But also incredibly rich. I saw a pic of a peach cobbler one of here and it looked phenomenal. Perhaps that'll be my next one. Regardless, we gobbled them both down and had no issues. Would def come back when in the area. Wish they would open up again in Austin! :)
