    I have been noticing this place a month ago even before it opened. Luckily, I happened to find out where they finally opened. They had soft opening last weekend where they had BOGO 2nd one 50% off. There wasn't too long of a line but there's a wait to get the food. I think I ended up trying 5-6 items. Out of the ones I tried, I like the watermelon quian bu long. It's refreshing, not too sweet and taste different from the makkee deluxe. I also enjoyed the purple rice a lot and I got one on the side. The mango dessert with little tapioca balls are good. The mango is not in season so it's a bit sour. Otherwise, the makkee deluxe, peach gum with milk tastes similar. Unfortunately, you order at kiosk and you pick up your own dessert after. The place is small but looks modern.

    Really disappointing experience. I ordered a dessert that was $14.74 before tax, which is already pretty expensive for a dessert dish. When ordering, I specifically asked if I could replace the tapioca with grass jelly. The cashier told me they couldn't substitute it, so I said that's fine -- please remove the tapioca then add grass jelly instead. He then told me I couldn't do that either, which was confusing because it does have toppings mix and match in their menu. I had to ask again "why I can't just pay extra to add grass jelly?" before he finally told me yes. So I paid extra for the grass jelly and specifically asked for NO tapioca. I got the order to go, brought it all the way home, opened it... and there was still tapioca in it. It's not even about the extra charge. If you're charging $14.74 before tax for one dessert, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect the staff to pay attention to a very simple request, especially when I went through the trouble of explaining it multiple times. The whole ordering process was unnecessarily confusing, and after all that, the order was still made incorrectly. Very frustrating.

    Solid, trendy dessert spot to visit for anyone who prefers desserts that lean toward balanced sweetness rather than sugar overload. What makes the shop particularly interesting is the way it bridges traditional Chinese dessert culture with the modern Asian dessert scene. The desserts are especially appealing for their contrast in textures - creamy, chewy, soft, juicy, and crunchy elements often come together in a single bowl. Rather than relying solely on sweetness, Makkee builds its desserts around the interplay of ingredients and textures. Watermelon Coconut Qing Bu Liang is one of the most refreshing menu options. It is a refreshing, fruit-forward dessert. The watermelon gives it a juicy, clean sweetness, while the coconut milk makes it creamy and tropical. The taro balls and mini rice balls add that satisfying mochi-like chew, and the red beans give it a slightly earthy sweetness. I enjoyed the added crunch from the coconut chips. Makkee Deluxe, another recommended menu option, combines many of Makkee's favorite toppings in one dessert. It tastes creamy, lightly sweet, chewy, and refreshing all at once. The fresh milk gives it a creamy base, while the grass jelly contributes a subtle herbal flavor and the red beans add sweetness and a slightly earthy taste. What I particularly enjoyed was how the dessert never became cloying. While the desserts are enjoyable, the portion sizes feel somewhat small relative to the prices. If you dine in, the dessert will be served in a bowl, whereas the dessert will be served in a cup for takeout orders. The dessert cup was filled to the brim, leaving no room to mix the dessert.

    Wanted to try this place since I've always seen it in Rowland Heights. Small dessert shop in the plaza with Chicha, Mian, etc. We ordered a Makkee Deluxe, which comes with alot of healthy asian ingredients! I do like how the desserts generally taste pretty healthy. I like how it also had this clear jelly (not sure what it's called), but it was pretty floral tasting. The taro mochi balls (?) were also nice and chewy. Everything was pretty fresh. It didn't take too long for our order to be prepared. Although, for the price of this, I feel like it's kinda pricey for what it is. Compared to Meet Fresh, I think you get a lot more from Meet Fresh, but this one tastes a little healthier.

    I love traditional Chinese desserts. This is one of those herbal dessert place. It's a healthier option when you are craving sweets compared to other desserts. Not saying it is absolutely healthy, but you feel less guilty eating this than say ice cream. Service was good. This spot is new so it's pretty clean. There's a few tables here so it's not too big of a space. I definitely enjoyed trying out different toppings. All of them were enjoyable and similar as it's a combination of different toppings. If you're not familiar with toopings like lotus seed and peach gum resin, I recommend the taro coconut sago.

    Best Cantonese dessert place in SGV. Will try the whole menu. Same as the Makkee in Rowland Heights. Limited seating inside. Service is quick and kind. Large free underground parking

    I went to their grand opening weekend, and of course there was a line and a bit of a bit wait. I've been to their Rowland heights location and fell in love with their desserts. I got the makkee deluxe, my go to order. Their ingredients seem like good quality and very refreshing, not too sweet. I like to add extra ice since I like my dessert cold cold. So excited they have a second location!

    Great getting a branch of Makkee in the West San Gabriel Valley after their first two US branches in Rowland Heights and NorCal. Their soft opening focuses in the dessert side, with their milk teas to come later.

    Very good!  Glad that it opens in SG!

    Very good Cantonese/ Taiwanese style dessert! Glad that it opened in SGV. Will definitely come often.

    The Tapioca Deluxe is pretty good and not that sweet. The toppings inside are also good as well especially paired with the milk makes it tastes better. The Mango Snow is not bad either as the mango is pretty sweet.

    Taste 10/10. Representation 10/10. My friend who is the grass jelly expert complimented the grass jelly there. Definitely recommend to everyone about this place

    A newly opened location and it's more spacious than the Rowland Heights location! I wish they had one more ordering kiosk, though. The desserts are great quality, just like at the original location.

    I'm very excited the SG store is opened, I don't need to drive to Rowland anymore. Makkee is always my favorite dessert place, all the dessert is good, my favorite is peach jelly milk.

    Can't come to SGV without a visit to Salju Desserts. Absolutely the best shaved snow around…read more They're a tiny place, but clean with two seating areas. You can order either at a kiosk or go the the counter to order there. They offer an extensive selection of snow flavors, syrups, and toppings. There's also a variety of other desserts and beverages, but I have never been able to resist the snow. Be aware that the small size is large enough for 2 or 3 people to share, and the medium is bigger still. On the several times I've been here, service has always been both cheerful and speedy. A real pleasure. I live quite a distance away, an hour or more depending on traffic, but plan to return many more times. It's that good.

    I usually only write reviews if I think the place deserves 5 stars, but now I will start reviewing…read moreeven when I think the place deserves lower ratings to help out the community of eaters pick the right choice! My friends and I chose Salju Dessert for some nice dessert because the ratings of this location seemed pretty good, but sadly we were disappointed. We chose the milk flavor and pandan. The milk flavor wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special. The pandan on the other hand was very bitter... We thought it may have been the toppings but figured out it was the pandan flavor. My friend described it as a medicine bitter taste, which I could agree on. We made a complaint and the employees happily switched it out for us for another milk flavor (maybe we should've chosen another flavor to try.) Toppings... the toppings were extremely expensive for such a small portion. It was around like $1.49 per topping??? Which is honestly pretty crazy. The toppings are set on the side in those small plastic ketchup containers. 4 Oreo cookies for $1.49, 2-3 buttercups smashed into pieces for $1.49, 1.5 strawberry sliced for $1.49, 1/8 of a banana sliced for $1.49... a container of chocolate syrup $1.49 you can imagine the rest that we added. Those portion sizes and prices are messed up lol The total was $35+ for 2 smalls with additional toppings. Overall, I don't think we will be coming back here for the shaved ice. There's definitely better options out there. The place was pretty busy too, maybe there's other items on the menu worth trying or they got bamboozled by the ratings... but in this economy, the presentation, taste, and price was not worth it and we wish we spent our money elsewhere. I usually take photos to share to friends on snap/ social media, but it was so disappointing I didn't even take any pics to show y'all. Very mid tier. Thank you to the staff who replaced our pandan though!

    Dessert spot that specializes in soft serve and taiyaki. I came in at a time when it wasn't busy,…read moreso my service was really quick and friendly. The place was pretty chill as well. I had just eaten dinner so I've kept it pretty simple here. I ordered the swirl with pure milk and pineapple dole whip. A simple yet tasty and satisfying combo. The serving size was pretty generous, especially relative to the price. Just a great place to grab some quick soft serve in the area.

    It looks aesthetically appealing in their photos online but it wasn't as good as it looked. Saw…read morethis off Yelp so decided to try it. We were the only customers. The girl working the counter was a young girl just getting by her summer day job. She was nice but timid. It was our first time there and a little more energy on her end could've been better. Ordered the ube swirl, pineapple dole whip, mung bean taiyaki, and a custard one togo. The taiyaki that goes onto the ice cream is a lot bigger than one we ordered to go. I thought it would be as big, but when I got it, it was so much smaller and flat. Also, the taiyaki that goes on top of the ice cream was old. It had been sitting there for a while or was made earlier as it was hard and difficult to bite. The red bean inside I also assumed was a paste like how they make the Japanese version, however there were whole pieces in there. It was okay, but I thought they'd be like paste. Overall, the only thing that was good was the ube swirl and the pineapple dole whip. It was also extremely warm in the shop, like no AC in the triple digits summer heat. Had to eat it elsewhere. I most likely won't be back.
