I've been coming here for years and it's definitely one of the better dessert places in the area. IMO the best items are the Mango Pomelo Sago with Mango & Grass Jelly and Popcorn Chicken. read more

Well, it was my first time here. Small place with limited parking spots(not sure if there are more spaces in the back). We were there on a Tuesday at around 11pm or so and it was packed! Moreover, there were 1 person in the front working. We didn't get our food for probably a good 40 minutes. When she came, we told her we haven't received our food yet. She went to get prepared right away since apparently they had misplaced our order. She was nice about it, since it was pretty busy and she was on her own running all over the place. We ordered glutinous rice balls with peanuts, mango sago mixed, and black glutinous rice with mango, mochi and coconut milk. It was good. It would be a full 5 stars if it wasn't for that little incident. read more

Went early around 7:30, the place is quiet but takes awhile for us to be served. Also the food/dessert takes a long time to be ready. Ordered mango pancake, black sesame soup with peanut rice ball and strawberry milkshake (no picture). Mango is sweet and delicious, also with generous portion. I also like the ratio between the filling and cream. However, the pancake sheet is too sticky and it actually sticking on the plate. Black sesame soup with peanut rice ball is alright. Not bad but nothing special like you can have this anywhere. Forgot to take picture of the strawberry milkshake but according to my little foodie it is quite good...lol read more

Oh boy. Let's start of with the good stuff. The desserts here are amazing. Very consistent and also very traditional. It's definitely a great place to grab a dessert. But the downside is that there is always a super long wait. And they serve desserts at separate times so each time I have visited, half or all of the rest of my party would be done their desserts and one person is still waiting on theirs. They really need to manage their timing and perhaps it would help if they hired another staff. My main problem is that when they run out of certain components for their dishes, they won't notify you. They will just do a substitution. This is not acceptable because first off, Ofcourse this is not what the first wants or expects. It's always worse when you don't let them know. That one feature could have been the whole reason they ordered the dish in the first place. And secondly, what if the patron is allergic to that new substitution? So food is great, but they have quite a lot else to work on. I can appreciate that it's a small business, but minor changes can make a huge difference. read more

This is a wonderful dessert restaurant with many options to choose from; either traditional desserts or ones with a more modern twist. Weekend evenings are probably the busiest for them though weeknights after dinner can get busy as well. It is a family business and run efficiently. I've had their sago items, both kinds of "pancakes", and their durian milkshake. The sago items are refreshing. The mango one in particular is really good. They actually take the time to ripen the mangoes when they're not in season so they are definitely focused on getting the quality right. There's nothing like mango sago during the winter. The green tea sago with red bean is all right, I find the mochi topping is a bit tough. The pancakes are by far the best among the GTA region dessert places. Other establishments will either give you less fruit or less whipped cream/cool whip, or the crepe skin is too thick, but Sweet House nails it every single time. The pancakes are literally bursting with cream and you get a generous portion of fruit. Again, they make sure their mangoes are ripe before serving and if you're not sure, just ask. They are more than willing to tell you whether the mangoes are ripe enough for service or not. Lastly, the durian milkshake is incredible. It is a rich durian flavour with small chunks of durian left in the milkshake for you to chew on. I've tried quite a few, including the one at Golden Turtle downtown, and this one is by far the best. If you love durian, you will not be disappointed. read more

A solid 2.5 stars rounded to a three! Food: Ahh traditional chinese desserts. In my opinion, it was pretty good but not anything extraordinary. Did have to wait about 20 mins though for food to arrive. Service: The lady was polite despite being the only one on floor running around. Decor: Reaaally small space located in the middle of nowhere so try to avoid coming in a large group to avoid the wait. Packed on a tuesday evening. Could really benefit from upgrading to a larger space. read more

3.5 stars based on the quality of our take out dessert. Came here on a whim after reading some positive Yelp reviews. It was packed on the Saturday night that we went there. The cafe is fairly small and gets pretty packed on weekends as it probably seats only about 24 people. After realizing that our party of 5 were not likely to be seated within 20-30 minutes, we opted to take out some dessert. The menu includes a lot of refreshing Asian desserts such as mango or durian pancake, tofu based desserts, and mixed desserts containing mango, +/- durian, with sago, coconut jelly, grass jelly, and pomelo bits. Although we didn't try it, we noticed some people had ordered hot food items such as Japanese curry, noodles, and other meal items. Something to try for next time. We ordered the 3 orders of #71: mango sago with coconut jelly. Each order came to $7.57 including tax. The size of each serving was quite generous, about 300 mL, and included a decent amount of coconut jelly and cubes of fresh mango in a blended mango/sago base. Very refreshing and not too sweet, just the way I prefer mango desserts to taste. Next time I plan to try their mango pancake (looks more like a crepe) or the mango/grass jelly/pomelo dessert. Apparently there is another location at the Peachtree plaza near Hwy 7 & Kennedy. We were told that that location has extended hours on weekends from 12pm to 8pm but it has much more limited seating. I have often passed by Sweet House Dessert while heading south on Birchmount but it looked so out of place in what essentially seems like an industrial area that I wouldn't have thought to stop in. However it is one of those hole in the wall types of restaurants that seems to get repeat customers from the uniqueness and quality of their food. My tastebuds were intrigued by the limited dessert experienced and I plan to go back another time, perhaps closer to their 7pm opening time to improve our chances of dining in. (16/100) read more

This is our go to place to get HK style desserts (for takeout). Quality is always good and husband and wife team that run this place are always friendly and accommodating. We've tried almost all of their traditional desserts and have nothing bad to say about any of them. Usually takes about 15 mins to prep a takeout order, so plan accordingly. read more

Chinese dessert place in a odd neighborhood, seems to be a mom and pop place that has about 8 tables, very limited seating, lots of Chinese dessert variety, ordered the green tea w red bean and tofu pudding, flavors did not blend well for me, the mango sago was decent, also got the black sesame paste, it was okay Beware they automatically charge a 10% gratitude on top of your bill without letting me know, it was good my girlfriend caught because I was going to pay tips on top of the bill read more

Average Chinese dessert joint with very limited seating. It's family-run, but service is quite slow. The sago bowls are tasty though. Also, if you're not Canadian, make sure to bring cash. The debit machine only allows local debit cards. read more

Ambiance/decor-3 Service-5 Food-4 Strikeouts-0/3 The sweet house dessert is a very small restaurant that is in the middle of a industrial plaza. There's literally nothing open around it during the night time. However, it doens't take away the effort they put into their dishes. I would like to say first that their service is really good. They were very accommodating to ours needs such as holding tables for more potential people and only asked for the space when the place was starting to fill up. The menu was straight forward and had lots of pictures showing us all the possible yummy desserts. The best part is how true those pictures are to the actual dish. Our first order was black glutinous rice with mango, mochi, coconut milk, and tapioca. The mochi was so soft and chewy, that it makes the mochi at Yogurty's mochi seem stale. The glutinous rice was sweet and full of red bean flavour without the sandiness as expected. Overall a very well done dish. The second dish was sago, coconut jelly, with durian ice cream. All staple flavours in my opinion put together, except the durian(my fav). A fair warning though, this dish is full of sweet flavours in every bite. My kind of chinese dessert. Best part was the portion size! Most places skimp out and give you a small chinese bowl. This place gives you a normal size bowl. Looking for a late night chinese dessert place? Look here! Very foreign friendly. read more

Had to come back to my favourite dessert spot. This time we already had a massive lunch so we weren't so hungry. However, we still had to try the snacks and hot food in addition to full filling out sweets craving. Definitely try the baked spaghetti with cheese and bbq pork rice. Not too sweet or salty. Even the rice in tomato sauce was delicious. You also won't go wrong with the mango sago! read more

Went back again and got the mango sago with mango and lychee jelly $6 .... Smaller than the grass jelly series sooo for that reason I'd get the grass jelly combo haha Quick service. Guy who's there owns the place and he's super friendly. The mango sago with mango fruit shake was delicious! $5 Still one of the more affordable Asian desserts. And they have mango during off season! Sick. read more

This place is only opened from 7pm - 1am. We arrived here at around 12:10am and it was packed. Yes the place is small, but you don't need a large space for a dessert place. I enjoyed the sesame paste a lot because I could really taste the sesame. Really brought back my childhood memories. The mango with purple Glutinous rice was served cold, and I was taken a shot since I thought it was hot. I wouldn't have ordered that on such a cold rainy night in Toronto. I could imagine having it during a hot summer, but does it even get hot in Toronto?? The purple yam & black sesame rice balls were only okay. The syrup that it was served in was too sweet to my liking. I'm not really into sweet things. read more

I thought this place was a lot better than it looked. It is a small place and can fill up on weekends. I have gone both on a weekend and weekday so i have compared. The reason was because they only offered tofu pudding on weekends. Honestly, I don't remember the name of the desserts I ordered, but i will definitely describe them. Don't worry, I didn't eat them all myself. You may notice I enjoy green tea and mango in different ways :) 1. mango sago with grass jelly, pomelo and diced mango 2. green tea ice cream with mochi,jelly and red bean on the side 3. green tea slush with tofu pudding and red bean 4. purple/black glutinous rice with coconut milk, mango and mochi. All of them were good and serving size was great for the price! THOUGH, one thing that will trip you out is that 3 and 4 were hot and cold, respectively. We thought it would have been the other way around. 3 could have also been a little more sweet. Regardless, we would come again, but remember to ask if the dessert is hot or cold. As for items on the menu, they have a lot of variety, BUT many options are blacked out, Go check them out if you want some chinese dessert. read more

I was feeling adventurous one day so decided to try durian for the first time! The place is kind of hidden so it's really easy for people to drive past it on Birchmount without knowing it exists. It is close to the overpass near the VIP theatres. Considering how hidden it is I was surprised the moment I got there that there was already a line up. The wait time for us was about 20-30 minutes. A very small place with small wooden chairs and tables. Due to the small space the tables are aligned very close to each other as well. I decided to keep my order durian themed so I ordered the Durian pancake and Durian Pomelo and Sago Sweet Soup. The Durian Pancake was actually quite interesting. The durian pancake was baaically a piece of durian wrapped with a crepe and stuffed with some cream. The pancake was very fresh and cool (kind of like mochi). I Ioved the soft chewiness of it. It is a nice way to try durian because the cream helps neutralize the durian taste and the sweetness of the pancake makes it good. So even if you are not the biggest durian fan or lover the dessert is still okay and enjoyable. If you are a durian fan the dessert would be perfect because they really give you generous portions of durian and overall it tasted pretty good. They give generous amounts of Durian for the pomelo and sago sweet soup as well. I liked this one because it was like drinking mango soup with sago in it and the durian flavour wasn' quite overpowering despite the fact that they give you the whole chunk. All in all it was an interesting experience and I would come back to try more items :) read more

This is your hole-in-the-wall Chinese desserts place. Driving along Birchmount south of 14th ave. you can barely see it being there. The exterior of the building looks like a commercial plaza. Within is a cozy place with I'd say more than 5 but less than 10 tables to sea everyone. It is a very small place. There is an overhanging lcd in the corner showing the latest Asian news tidbits for everyone's entertainment. If say there is about two servers at most at any given time but they run a very tight ship and when I was there one server was running the floor. The dessert is on point which is why my rating is high. I had the durian pancake and the black sesame dessert. Like I said, both were on point. Friends that ordered fresh fruit desserts weren't disjointed either as the fruits we're fresh and delicious. All in all the dessert is on point but the place is rather small and would sum it up as your hole in the wall Chinese desserts place! Parking out front is free and should be plentiful! read more

This is a hole-in-the-wall type of dessert house. It is located in a business park and you don't really see it unless you are driving south on birchmount. Every time i have come here, it's been really busy. my family and I always opt for a mango sago, some sweet soup (almond or sesame) with rice balls and the durian puff. Everything is great but when you order items that people rarely order, you can tell it is not fresh. I would definitely give this place a try if you're looking for chinese dessert with good value. read more

A total gem for the Chinese desserts, especially if you like durian - which you get a whiff of as soon as you walk in. I got the mango sago with green tea ice cream, heavenly!! It's tucked away in a small plaza but quite busy given I went there on a weeknight. Will definitely be back for more. read more

Haven't Tried this place so I figured it why not. First of all it is a nice hidden corner of Markham, so there is lots of parking even at odd hours. Small area so it can't hold that much people. It does get busy near the end of the night. I ordered Mango sago with pieces of mango and grass jelly with pomelo and also had the sweet ginger soup with rice balls. Both equally good. We had a quiet setting so it wasn't too bad. Will for sure try again. read more

Was having pregnancy cravings for late night sweets so called my mom and my aunt to check out this little hidden Chinese dessert joint. It's very hidden and a small family owned Chinese dessert place in an industrial area, very unexpected. Upon walking in we got a huge whiff of durian! They have a good variety of desserts and drinks that were generous in portion from seeing my neighbouring table order it. I ended up getting a mango, pomelo sago dessert and hubby and mom/aunt got a walnut paste with rice balls. We arrived around 1030 and they were all sold out of the popular tofu custard so that wiped out a portion of the menu that we wanted to try. Also sold out of almond paste... they only opened maybe 2 hours before so we were a little surprised. My mom was disappointed they didn't have her favourite steamed egg/milk custard. I would have given then 4 stars but minused 1 because of these shortfalls. The portions are good and prices are average, around 5-8 bucks. We spent 26 for 3 desserts and the bill included a 10% tip. We would return again if we had another dessert craving but might try to go earlier as it seems desserts are limited in quantity and they sell out fast. read more

Atmosphere: This is a very casual, small dessert place for traditional Chinese Tong Sui. No fancy decorations or anything funky. If you're looking for a traditional, local place to eat some of their popular desserts... Can feel right at home here. It has a few tables of 4 set up. Can come here in a small group rather than too large. We often come in a group of 6 or more and end up having to wait since it is very busy here. Everyone tends to come for desserts around the same time of night anyways. Not much room in this small shop for waiting around with a bigger group. This place is very popular and with very little seating, so be warned that you and your group might need to wait outside or in a small area next to the entrance for your table. Service: Didn't need a lot of people to run the tiny dessert house. Usually I see two Asian ladies work there every time I go. Food didn't take that long to come. Food: they serve durian flavored things like their Pancake wrap ... Filled a thin crepe with mousse and the durian or mango fruit. They are very generous with the amount of fruit they give for any of their fruit desserts. I love that the mango mousse pancake has less cream this time and more fruit. They used to fill it with cream ( some people prefer more of that), but I personally enjoy the light texture of the crepe and all the mangoes. I liked their sago as well. I prefer their cold, chilled desserts more than their hot food. Mostly I gave this place 4 stars for their food. Nothing fancy about it... But just a good, solid place to order some general Asian desserts. read more

I dont get how two desserts (durian pomelo sago & red bean tofu pudding) can take over 40 mins. It's pretty ridiculous, esp when they can be made beforehand. They weren't worth the wait either; just average. read more

I came here on a Saturday night with my friends at 9:00pm. Walking into the shop, i could smell faint durian smell from their durian desserts. I decided to get number 111 on the menu was matcha green tea ice cream with jelly, mochi, mango and red bean. It was a delicious combo and was extremely large for roughly $6.50. Unfortunately, the space is tight and the waitress kindly asked us at 11pm to leave because the table is booked by another customer. Would come here again!! read more

Also half the menu stuff are not even available anymore ! Anyway i will not be coming back read more

Its one of the closer options for chinese dessert if youre in the downtown markham area. But... seriously, every time i come here, they run out of the stuff i order; they dont even tell me until at least 10 min later. And its not even like i come at 12 am where everything is sold out. Also, for what offer, the prices arent that well balanced. Youre better off going to the ones on hwy 7 or at MK Plaza where not only do they offer similar if not same quality of food for practially what theyre charging here, but they also have more experience in serving customers. Parking is also very limited, which is the same with their seating. I did notice however that they have a take out? shop at MK Plaza, if you guys ever want to check that out first. Onto their quality of food. Not the best; borderline pass for me. Lot of their stuff tasted watered down... which is a big no no when it comes to chinese desserts. Some of their sweet soups were so runny i started to wonder if i was paying for water. Even though they have a pretty big menu, what does it matter when you dont even have half the stuff half the time?? read more

Good place to eat lunch, all asian style foods, specially the "Japanese Style Curry Chicken With Rice", taste delicious and quiet place for eating chinese desserts at night time, I like the "Half Of Slices Mango Sago Mixed", love it so much, will definitly order it again, open 7 days a week, mon to thu 11am to midnight, fri 11am to 2am, sat 6pm to 2am, sun 6pm to midnight, for sure you guys will get times to come and try all the good stuffs in here!! read more

Headed here after a night at the movies after spotting it on the drive by. The prices are pretty standard for an asian dessert place, so when the total came to more than $30 it wasn't much of a surprise. Ordered the Matcha Sago with Red Bean and Mochi (~$6.45), Black Glutinous Rice with Mochi, Mango, and Coconut Milk (~$6.45), Mango Sago with Coconut Jelly and Mango (~$5.45), Mango Slush (~$5), Curry Fish/Beef Balls- 6 pcs (~$5), and Glutinous Rice Balls with Peanut and Syrup- 5 or 6 pcs (~$3.45). The taste overall for each of these items wasn't bad; was pretty good and not too the sweet. The matcha sago was a little bland, but oh well just won't order it next time. The mochi could have been a little better, because with these desserts I was expecting the boiled kind of mochi but they use the mochi you find at the toppings bar at frozen yogurt self-serve places. A little disappointed about that, but will also know to not order stuff with mochi in it next time. But the problem with each of them (minus the fish balls and the rice balls with peanut of course) was that they WEREN'T COLD ENOUGH. They were honestly only a little under room temperature, and that made them a lot less enjoyable than they could have been. But other than that, not bad at all! They don't seat many people but I go a seat right away on a weeknight. May come back again. read more
