    J2. Jumbo Pomelo & Mango w Sago
    Vince H.

    Visiting SJ, we saw this place when we were exploring around the area. Decided to give it a try, we got the Jumbo Pomelo Mango w/ Sago (J2). It was very refreshing especially during these warmer days and the mango was tasty, as theyre getting into season too. Perfect dessert to split with my gf and the mango puree at the bottom was creamy and rich. Inside was clean and i appreciate how they have wet wipes at every table! Cashier was quick with our order and our dessert came within a few minutes of ordering, even during the rush when we went.

    Mango dessert to finish off the night. Looking for something sweet and used Yelp to see what was close by in the area we were currently at. This location is on the smaller side with some seating inside and limited seating outside. The service was just ok. The desserts were consistant to other locations and they did not disappoint. Went with a mango treat and and a smoothie. both wwere devoured even though they said they didint want anything, lol. D5 Mango coconut juice with aloe jelly was so cool and refreshing. loved the jelly and mango. Flavors compllemented eachother. A4 Mango chewy balls was sweat and delicious with mango chunks, mango balls, and I want to say mango ice cream. it was flavorful and satisfying. Subtracting one star because tables needed cleaning and shairs were very limited. Definately stopping by again when Im in the Milpitas area.

    Been to this location a few times now. Deemed it one of the least preferred spot out of other HLS locations. We ordered: A4 mango chew ball (ice cream on the side) $8.50 ice cream tasted more like a coconut ice cream D3 pomelo and mango with sago $8.95 Drink was good, but for some reason, sago here is frozen. There have been times where the inside of the store has weird smells...from chemicals..to sewage smells. Some seating inside. Hectic parking lot during peak hours. Not the best HLS location.

    Anytime in this plaza, I pretty much always stop by this Hui Lau Shan location for dessert. Can often times be packed, but coming on a weekday night, there were only a few of us. The chewy ball toppings are what I come here for. Chewy (as the name implies) and just the right amount of sweet. Mango is sweet, albeit seasonal. Sometimes it may be a bit sour, but I obviously don't hold them accountable for that. For drinks, can't go wrong with anything sago. This is one of the few places that makes it right. I can't stop coming back. See you in two weeks Hui Lau Shan.

    You need to stop by this place if you like mango. Honestly their menu is extremely extensive so you should drop by here if you like chinese desserts! Taste: We loved most everything we got. I really enjoyed the taro dessert. The only complaint is that some of the mochi balls were a little too starchy. Other than that we enjoyed everything. Parking: Plaza parking! It's a bit busy so you might have to be a little patient Seating: This is quite limited. There's a free tables but that's it.

    This is a dessert review rather than a drink review since I think their drinks are much better and I usually get drinks instead of a dessert. My wife wanted to try the dessert out so we got that instead. [[ We ordered ]] 1.) Jumbo Pomelo & Mango with Sago - $14.00 2.) Extra Topping - Chewy Ball - $1.75 3.) Extra Topping - Coconut Noodle - $1.75 [[Some notes]] (a) After tax and tip, it was close to $20. I think this is a bit pricey for dessert and the quantity given I would say isn't worth the price. (b) I highly do not recommend getting the chewy ball since I think for ~$2.00, it's not worth it. It was chewy and sweet though but I wouldn't add this as an extra in the future just based on how little you get. (c) The Coconut Noodle was good and they gave a lot so I think this is a worthwhile add on. (d) I think since the dessert came in a to-go container, it's actually really hard to share the dessert with someone since its difficult to eat. We even sat next to each other to try to make it easier but it was still hard. I recommend ordering the smaller version of the dessert twice and each person eating it by themselves.

    Love hui lau Shan. And happier there's one closer to me. Everything is delicious from their drinks to snacks. Get the mango mochi and the pancakes!

    Hui Lau Shan is my wife's go-to whenever she wants to get some comfort sweets! Mainly because their well known drinks are freshly made of fresh mango and they are not like boba shops that only offer teas and fruit juice drinks. We usually visit their Cupertino and Valley Fair locations, this Milpitas shop actually is a lot bigger and less crowded.

    I stopped by on a Sunday afternoon. The place had a good number of people. But I still got a seat. D3 mango and pomelo sago drink was my favorite. It had a scoop of ice cream as well. It was tough to drink it through a straw. I opened it and ate with a spoon. A4 mango chewy balls bowl was my other item. It was almost the same as my first item, except for the chewy balls. It was good too, but I think I should have gone for something slightly different.

    Small mango focused dessert shop. Very yummy. They offer physical menus so you're not stuck staring at the screen the whole time. Menu has great pics too- normally I'd look up yelp photos of food but didn't need to. Staff were friendly and we got our desserts quick.

    First time trying their Mango Pancake and it's now my favorite Hui Lau Shan item. It looks like a pillow made of very thin crepe stuffed with cream and slices of sweet ripe mango surrounded by the cream. The cream had the consistency of whipped cream mixed with marshmallow cream. You get two pieces for about $8.

    Mango coconut sago drinks!

    Hui Lau Shan is my favorite drink spot! I actually prefer this over boba. Unfortunately, there are way more boba shops out there than this place. Normally, I stop by their Cupertino store but this location is easier to get to with a larger parking lot. A big plus is also the lack of a long line compared to the other location. While their vast menu can be a bit overwhelming with all the choices, you can't go wrong with anything here. It just depends on your personal preference of fruit and combination of toppings. My usual is their mango sago or mango pomelo. Both are amazingly refreshing. The fresh mango and slightly frozen sago is heaven! I've placed my drink orders in person and online, both are efficient and surprisingly quick! The employees I've interacted here with have always been friendly. They are located at that large Asian shopping plaza on Barber Lane, about 5 or 6 stores to the left of 99Ranch.

    Every time I pass by this plaza, this place is always busy. Luckily I went when the line wasn't too long. I got the mango coconut duo mix, jumbo mango chewy ball, and pomelo mango with sago. All three desserts were all really sweet/syrupy. Even on the desserts that were dominantly revolved around coconut, I tasted more of the sugary mango before any coconut taste. The sherbet on top, (the ice cream scoop looking thing.. I don't even know if it's even sherbet or not, it doesn't look like ice cream though) was rock hard! Literally a ball of ice. They probably weren't freshly scooped, or the entire dessert came from the fridge. The black glutinous rice of the mango coconut duo mix was really mushy, though the texture of glutinous rice should be more chewy. I was fan of the mochi balls though! Loved the chewy texture, and each dessert had a pretty good number of them. The packaging is super sturdy and tight, which is handy for transportation. The spoons and cups have adorable details: the spoons were a strong, reusable plastic with a mango character on top, while the cups had intricate mango characters on them. Adorable! I've also tried out the Cupertino location of Hui Lau Shan, but expect nothing different. The quality of the desserts are quite literally the same. Though Hui Lau Shan did not meet all expectations, I'll be back when I'm craving some mango!!

My husband and I visited while waiting for a table at Flaming Ox, the restaurant next door. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the cashier and we browsed around leisurely looking at all the different food items. This establishment is small, but there are so many different offerings: pineapple cakes (a Taiwanese staple), chili oil, tea, coffee, ice cream, and so much more. I'd really love to come back here and try out the more unique foods like their rice cakes and mung bean ice cream, but my husband and I got a notification that our table was ready so we went to eat our lunch. We returned after our meal and were greeted again. We looked at all the pineapple cakes again because my family enjoys them so much and my husband wanted to gift them a box for a Christmas present. All of the boxes are so beautifully designed and we finally settled on one. The cashier was very kind and talked to us about the iTaiwan membership and how to get the most benefits out of it. She also packaged the pineapple cakes in a cute bag for us for free! A very cozy story run by cute people. I will most definitely visit again.

They have dry goods and decent frozen section also! Free parking in strip mall.

We got ice cream as a dessert after getting some AYCE BBQ and this was the perfect place to get something that's sweet but not too sweet. Decent amount of parking and I love the photo op statue and the cute ice cream cone seats they have outside too. Love the little bit of personality there. There's seating and tables inside and if you want to try a flavor, they're more than happy to let you sample them. Customer service is friendly and they STACK the scoops of ice cream. Got a triple scoop and we had to get lids and take it to go since it was so much ice cream. More than enough to share and take home as leftovers. Our friend got a croffle and loved it. They also have boba drinks, ice cream cakes, and ice cream pints too. Make sure to call in advance just in case. For our triple scoop, we got the: 1) Lychee Rose: -Real lychee with rose water flavor. -Sweet lychee flavor with an ending note of rose water. Very elegant and complex flavor and definitely something I would expect from a fancy artisanal ice cream place. Good stuff and definitely recommend if you're a rose flavor fan. Not artificial or overbearing like other rose flavored items. 2) Peach Oolong: -Subtle taste of oolong tea with the sweetness of white peaches. -It's a very Asian inspired flavor and reminds me of those yummy peach oolong boxed teas that you can get from the Asian market. -This was my favorite of the 3 and I devoured this one first (after taking it back as leftovers). Definitely will get this again. 3) Pina Colada: -Creamy coconut with real pineapple chunks inside. -Not tart whatsoever, you get a fresh burst of pineapple taste from the chunks, but it's largely a coconut flavor ice cream with the subtle taste of pineapple. Refreshing, tropical summer flavor. All of their ice cream is super smooth, creamy, with a velvety texture. Even putting in the freezer and enjoying 1-2 days after, still great quality. They sold out of their super cute mascot keychains, but hopefully the next visit I can get one!

That warm & cold combo is a total game changer! Don't believe me??? Try it!!! We went with a big group and tried a bit of everything: My Order: Cookies & Crème soft serve with Fruity Pebbles. My Sister: Matcha & Milk soft serve with Cocoa Pebbles. My Girl: Matcha & Milk combo with Custard filling and Graham Cracker sprinkles. We also grabbed a 5-pack of Taiyaki to try all the flavors. The Cookies & Crème and Custard were solid classics, and the Red Bean and Cheddar are must-tries if you want something different. But the standout was the Dubai Chocolate yummmmmy!!! seasonal flavor catch it while you can! Huge thanks to the crew for being patient with our order as some of us couldn't decide what they wanted as their toppings lol. This spot is a 10/10 for dessert in San Jose!

I got 2 taiyaki, 1 nutella and 1 dubai chocolate to try. I wish that there was more nutella filling inside there wasn't that much this time :/ The dubai chocolate one was so disappointing. It was hard to eat and it was a lot to chew. The inside was a bit dry, I think there could be more of the pistachio creme inside. Wouldn't get the dubai chocolate taiyaki again since the other flavors are so much better.
