    I have visited this place plenty of times and service has always been quick and efficient. The team members are happy to make suggestions - and are good with describing there offerings. They normally have some classic Hong Kong (Cantonese music) playing - but there have been times, where they'd be rocking out to KPOP. I love the tofu pudding and black sesame here - the mango desserts are also very delicious -

    Little display case at entrance! So cute pt 1/3

    I love the decor in this place. So many cute little things, cool neon lights, and a huge mahjong tile wall. I ordered a Ribena slush, but it wasn't very good. It had a really strange aftertaste and the initial taste also wasn't giving. I don't think I would order a drink from here again. But I had a small sip of my friend's taro dessert, which was really good. I'd definitely like to comeback to try their other sweet soup desserts! Service was fine. They have a lot of fine print though.. More than $6 per person for dine in and you're not allowed to split bills.

    First time checking out Snackshot Kingsway but have been to their original location on Granville. It's across the street from Peachy Peachy. We dropped in on a Friday evening (9:30pm). No wait for a table. Not much in terms of service. There's a minimum charge of $6.00/person. - Grass jelly sago in coconut milk (J3) ($8.95) - grass jelly had a chewy texture with slightly herbaceous note. - Mango grapefruit sago (J5) ($9.50) - standard. - Ube sago in coconut milk (J8) ($9.50) - added grass jelly ($1.50) and homemade taro balls ($2.50). Had a couple spoonfuls; plain. Decent HK desserts but pricier than other spots in the area. Doesn't beat Fresh Legend.

    Stopped by quite late at night, and it was quite crowded at about 9-10 p.m. I was only on the mood for savory food so I got the chicken balls, but it was much smaller than expected. The picture on the menu is a bit misleading because of the angle. It's not worth the price of $9.95, same goes for the shrimp balls. However, the snack combo is more worth it. The curry and peanut sauce are great and you get ricerolls, siumai and fishballs for $11.95. Overall, I don't feel as satisfied but this place is better known for their sweet desserts. I'll try the peach gum next time...

    Decent but overpriced HK style dessert shop on Kingsway. Parking is available on Kingsway, as well as the side streets. The inside is supposed to remind people of old school Asian neon signs. They do a half decent job of it. The new signs are lit by LEDs though. Staff are friendly but a bit slow. Had to wave them down a few times. As mentioned before, the pricing is a few bucks more than the competition. The mango slushie I had was pretty decen though. I didn't try the other stuff (red bean, peanut etc.) so can't really comment. If the HK stuff is what one is looking for, this is the place to be. For the Taiwanese style stuff, to be honest there are plenty of similar places along the same stretch of Kingsway.

    Mahjong pudding

    Came on a quiet night and had a good time at snackshot with friends. Got the tofu pudding again and it was solid. The ginger syrup is quite nice!

    I had expectations coming here because I had heard so much about it! The ambiance here is definitely 5/5 and it feels like you're transported into a dessert shop in Asia. The downside is that the service was very very slow (granted all the tables were seated that night). When you sit down you order your food through their site and the order gets sent to the kitchen. We didn't hear anything from our server inbetween and had to check in on our order after it not coming for 20 minutes. Then the tofu pudding came but was missing the syrup it was supposed to come with and it wasn't for another 20 minutes until the glutinous rice dessert came. I requested it cold but that wasn't available either so it came hot. Overall ambiance was good, food was ok and service was lacking.

    Came here for some Chinese desserts. I got the redbean vitasoy drink with vanilla ice cream. I thought the vanilla ice cream would be on top of the drink. Unfortunately it was on the side. I also tried their fish balls. The redbean vitasoy drink was tasty. The price was definitely not cheap given the drink and a scoop of ice cream before tax $10.75. The fish balls were ok. The decor of the place was very interesting. They tried to comeoff as an old Chinese authentic style hang out place. The place is definitely Instagram worthy. The biggest con that I have about this place is that it is very loud and seating are very limited. If you are here with a friend trying to have a nice conversation, this may be very difficult. They have another location on Granville street. The Kingsway location is way smaller than the Granville location.

    Super friendly and attentive staff and owner. Cute decor and chill vibe. Cool for dates or by yourself and family friendly as well. Not the biggest place but quite a few tables, but it does get busy fast. Take outs available. Street parkings and bus at walkable distance. Lots of options from sweet desserts (cold/hot), drinks, to savoury appetizers/small bites. Clean space and washroom available. Tasty food and really fun night!

    Dessert platter
    Natalie W.

    Plenty of seating and each table is separated with a plexiglass. It wasn't busy when we stopped by for dessert. The tables have a QR code to scan to put in your order. We decided on the dessert platter, which had a variety of desserts. There was cashew paste, green bean soup, almond paste, black sesame paste, tofu pudding, red bean soup, peanut mochi, black rice, and walnut paste. This is definitely something to share with probably 3 people. My favourites were the almond, black sesame, and peanut mochi. The tofu pudding was quite bland. I wish it had a ginger syrup served with it. It also felt a bit too repetitive with so many nut pastes. It was good that some desserts were sweet, while others were less. Overall, the decor is cool but the dessert was just alright.

    Due to COVID? they are serving everything in takeout containers which was a bit strange. You can order through an app by scanning a QR code. They have quite a variety of desserts like tofu pudding and mango pomelo sago etc. I tried an ube sago with taro balls and ube ice cream. I remember their portions were a bit bigger before at the Granville St. location when they were serving them in actual bowls? Otherwise the taste was good. Everyone else enjoyed their desserts too and it was a nice place to chill at night.

    Vitasoy w/ red bean slush
    Evan C.

    Wow. The aesthetics in this shop are next level. Everything from the decor down to the food itself. Snackshot focuses on Hong Kong style desserts and it delivers both in terms of looks and taste. Its hip and trendy looks don't detract from the authenticity of the items served, but you'll certainly be paying for the novelty factor as prices are high for these kinds of dessert. The vitasoy and red bean slush combines two classic HK drinks into one super refreshing concoction. You can customize the sweetness level, but I recommend normal sweetness since the soy milk itself is only lightly sweetened. I liked the inverted bottle as the soy milk evenly dispersed into the drink as you drank. The mahjong tiles were good and had a nice coconut flavor paired with subdued notes of red bean, but let's be real, you're getting it for the gram. And for that it's worth the splurge, but there are better choices for the belly.

Also, go early so that you have more bun options - they do sell out of certain flavors the later it gets. Luckily we were still able to get the two that we wanted which were black sesame and a custard buns. They were not only super cute, but they were really delicious as well. The fillings were very strong in flavor and did not disappoint. There was enough searing when I went. Next time I will have to try their coconut drinks and desserts!

So technically this was dessert #3 over the course of not even an hour. The good thing is that this was not an overwhelmingly sweet or heavy dessert. It really went down with the same ease as just a regular mango would have, but it just had some extra (mostly natural) stuff. I'd happily enjoy this deliciousness on a regular basis if I lived in Vancouver. There were a ton of menu items that looked appealing, so I'm might even be their best customer.

As I love desserts, I was so excited to see Chinatown and visit this place for the first time. This place was located in an area that would be best to walk with a friend or a small group- I was not quite prepared to see and experience what was going on all around. Finally, we made it there and were glad to order some doughnuts. As soon as we entered, we were greeted by the sweet smell of doughnuts and the two friendly staff. Everything looked so good, so narrowing down our pick was very hard! At the end, we ordered two flavours- Matcha and Tiramisu. The matcha doughnut was soft and the filling was light yet full of matcha flavour that one would expect, I loved every bite! My friend had the tiramisu doughnut and she said that she enjoyed the fluffy texture of the dough and the creamy filling- it felt like eating tiramisu in a doughnut form.

I've only been to the original location on Robson years ago, so wasn't sure if the quality had stayed the same, but we thought it was worth trying. We ordered a Tiramisu and a Bresilienne to share between four people. It came out it in relatively short time. And wow, they were both even better than I remember. Their waffles are incredibly crisp and light, despite the amount of toppings on them. I don't know how they make them so they stay so resistant to going soggy. And despite the amount of whipped cream, ice cream and sauce on them, the waffle was always able to balance out the sweetness. Their waffles are just perfect balance of flavour and texture. Service was also quite impressive. Our server was very pleasant and attentive, and brought share plates with out being asked. Overall, a great dessert. I don't know why I haven't returned earlier.

Well it seems ownership has changed and the new owner doesn't give two craps about prior customers, honoring discounts, replying back timely or being more friendly? Was playing email tag and finally submitted the 39 flavors and didn't hear back until after another week and then told they won't deliver only in morning when they know our reservation was for 730pm and they're open until 9? I even replied back and nothing. We own and run several business in lower mainland and in United States and this customer service from Unni Pastries is trash. At least you can do is reply back and apologize? For wasting time when I specifically told you it's for family and friends flying into town for a funeral burial. Will never use their business again. I highly suggest Mello. They replied and helped me out last minute. Shame on you! Learn how to run a business and treat customers esp previous customers who were supporting the business and fellow Krn but it's clear the new owner doesn't care about the customer or quality it's all about quantity. Maybe my 39 donuts which I offered to pay extra for time and packaging wasn't large enough but money is money. Especially during this time and economy. You should've at least replied back and even tried asking us to do pickup as the restaurant is down the road. Do better! Go to Mello which isn't too far and they bake fresh daily better pricing and reviews and consistency!
