I stumbled upon this place after dinner and had a craving for warm sesame soup, so this was perfect! It is a bit crowded inside but I came on a weekend night so I was anticipating the crowd. Their menu consists of more than 50 items making it difficult and timely to come to a decision, but luckily I attuned to my cravings. I got the sesame almond soup with sesame rice balls which was very aesthetically pleasing. Upon arrival, it was lukewarm and lacked sweetness in both soup bases. The almond is quite potent so sweetness is not desired but sesame has a more subtle taste so personally I believe sugar is necessary to enhance the flavor. Honestly, the instant packs of sesame paste from local grocers were more flavorful but the rice balls were delicious! They are more renowned for their sago and cold desserts, so maybe I will come back and try those out in hopes of a better outcome. read more

Wow, I don't know what happened to this place. We ordered the Mango Pomelo Tofu pudding.... What we got was definitely poorly represented by the photo. Please see the attached photos. If this isn't false advertising I don't know what is. read more

Perfect place for dessert if you are looking for something that isn't too sweet! The service was decent, but you do have to wave the server over for assistance, since they do have him running back and forth. I really appreciated some complimentary tea! The ambiance was cool and pretty clean too! read more

The worst service experience I ever had! We ordered Togo with an app and went pick it up when the app showed the order is completed. When we arrived at the store I asked a male staff#1 about my order he kept saying it's not ready just wait by the door, so we waited another 20mins. After 40mins, I walked front again asked another female staff about my order, she rolled her eyes and didn't even response to my question, I asked her in Chinese and English, she seems so rude with no face expression. So I turned to male staff #1 again, showed him my app order and the only thing he said to me was it's not ready and wait by the door! I was furious at the time! The app showed competed 20mins ago and we have waited 40mins already. Another male staff#2 came out from the kitchen and asked me to show him my order, so I gave him my order number and order time, and then he walked back to the kitchen without any apologies or explanation. When we about to leave he walked back and told us the order is in progress..... There was an mistake obviously, either someone else took our order or they missed our order. all we need was an apology and an explanation so we don't just standing there confused without knowing anything. Store owner/Manager: I understand it's difficult to hire staffs now but you still need to train them about basic service before they started. The experience last night was not acceptable. read more

Today, I went to this place super excited about having Hong Kong style dessert. We placed a to-go order for a Walnut and Sesame Soup (C6) as soon as we got there. However, 20 minutes had passed and we had not received my to-go order. When confronting the male and female servers there regarding where our dessert was, they had stated it would be another 15 minutes. What?! A few of the sit-in tables who had not even placed their order when we had arrived got their desserts already before us. After confronting them of their neglect for having forgotten the order, they adamantly denied it with no apology. We would have been fine if they had admitted to their mistake but they refused to do so and tried to tell us the order was "on the way". I saw through the kitchen curtain when they pulled our order that it would have been at least another 3-4 orders before they got to ours, and there was no way the sit-in people ordered before us since they still had their menus when we had walked in and placed our order. Instead of waiting 35+ minutes for our to-go order, we had requested a refund several times before they were willing to give us one. Such a shame, but we won't be coming here again until they fix their service. read more

The girl with the glasses and black gem nails seated us and didn't take our order until we went up to the counter 10 minutes later after no one attended to us. My friend ordered us a mango sago ($7.50) with grass jelly ($1), watermelon grass jelly ($6.99) with sago ($1) and green tea ice cream ($2), and mango pancakes ($9.75). The girl repeated our order back to us correctly. Tell me why my order came out in a cup lol. We had to ask her to put it in a bowl as it was advertised in the menu. Turns out when they took my order back into the kitchen they changed my entire order and secretly charged me more for something I didn't order. I didn't notice this until the bill came and I was charged $9.50 for a mango POMELO sago with grass jelly. When I brought this up to the "manager" (boy with the anime shirt and glasses) he tried arguing with me about it. He said I ordered the mango POMELO sago with grass jelly and it wasn't something he could do because I already ate the item. Bffr. The fact that he tried to gaslight me about what I ordered ??? Lol I am so baffled by his response and blamed me for ordering the wrong item. I just know the girl knew she was in the wrong for that as she whispered something to her manager when I was talking to him. Miss girl repeated mango sago with grass jelly when we ordered so how did I end up with mango POMELO sago ??? Y'all need to find a better manager/management that resolves customer conflict rather than blaming and arguing with customers. Super unprofessional and the desserts here are mid. Take your business elsewhere ! read more

Got the black rice with durian in vanilla frost, mango pancakes and almond soup with tofu jelly. The almond soup was AMAZING, get it hot. I enjoyed the other two but wished the vanilla frost was more like bingsoo shaved ice and had a better flavor. Service was quick and the place was like a small cafeteria. They could do better with how it looks inside though. read more

I'm glad I gave this place a try. We were seated promptly and she took our order shortly after. I got the black rice with mango. The rest of my party got the Snow White, a durian dessert and mango soufflés. To be honest, we had no idea what was in the Snow White and the photo is clear however I don't recognize many of the ingredients so I can't tell you what is in it. When I asked the waitress, the language barrier was too difficult for us to understand. My friend enjoyed it though! I absolutely loved the black rice and mango. The perfect amount of sweet! The mango soufflés were pretty good as well. The plating was nice. My only feedback on those soufflés were that they were a bit too eggy tasting. Lastly, I'm not a durian person so I didn't even try that dessert but my friend who ordered it, really raved about it read more

Way better than I expected!! Deserves a 5 star! First of all, if you are looking for a really good super worth it Japanese fluffly pancake, I tell you! This is the place! I swear you will never get disappointed! I went around cali to find a really good Japanese pancake and this place is the best! I've been here 4 times already and I wish I can come more often if it wasn't that far from my place. I tried alot of food and dessert in this place and its absolutly amazing! I will tell you all the recommendation and details of the things I got. I listed it down below. Parking- you can park to a really close public parking, they are in the same building you just gotta go around, or park near the chase bank. Service - Service was good! They are very attentive, not as welcomy but good to help you get seated, they will give you tea or cucumber water which is nice. They will give you a big menu about their main specialties which is hong kong desserts, well most of them are. Small menu is more for japanese pancakes. They also have a small menu for drinks and some food placed on the table, not everyone know about the it so definitely check it out. You can also ask them questions if you dont know what you are ordering. Keep in mind that the desserts or food can contain peanuts, milk, shrimp etc, so be careful. Ambience - its pretty simple but has alot of seats, so its good to bring friends over to enjoy good desserts. The place is not that noisy, it's good for a cute date. Price - a little bit pricey but you get the same to other places like this. This place is worth it. Desserts - desserts are amazing! If you have a sweet tooth, this place may not be for you, the desserts are sweet but not too sweet. I liked it! I think it better and healthier that way. There is 6 types of pancakes but I only ordered 4 kinds of japanese pancake that I shared it with some friends. Ohh, keep in mind that pancakes might take awhile, like around 15 to 20 mins because they are souffle but I guarantee you its worth the wait! I also tried some desserts other than the pancakes. Btw souffle pancakes are only available until 5pm. Souffle pancakes: Strawberry pancake - It has 2 big fluffy pancake, top with strawberry cream which is nice and lightly sweetened. Comes with real berries, well decorated. Cost : $10 Blueberry - It also have 2 big fluffly jiggly pancake, also has cream top with blueberry flavor and some berries. Cost: $10 Mango pancake - it has 3 big fluffly jiggly pancakes, top with sweet cream and tropical mangoes dices and real half of mango on the side. Cost around $11 Matcha pancake - has 2 big fluffly jiggly soft pancake, top with creamy but not so sweet matcha cream and powder, it comes with some strawberries as well. Cost around $10 Mango pomelo and sago - for mango lovers this one is for you! It has really good light sweet to it. Real mango balances the taste, basically acts as the sweetener. Sago is small tapiocas that has a good addition to it. Glutinous rice balls with crush peanuts - this taste heaven! It's mochi with sweet honey and peanuts, simple but taste really good! Mango crepe - this one is like burrito but with real sweet tropical mangoes and white light cream to it wrapped in crepe. Pretty goos too! Almond tofu pudding - light creamy soup dessert. My boyfriend actually had it and he did really like it. Im sure it was good! Chicken wings - OMG! When I first tried it, it was soo good! Chicken was perfectly cooked and lighty seasoned but really Tasty! It also smell really good! I recommend getting this! Shumai - Okay! This one is by far the best shumai I had, in cali. It was very crispy outside which is a bit different from a regular shumai. The shrimp in shumai is so tasty and yummy that you wanna order more. Gyoza - ohh this one taste good too! Nice and crispy outside too and not greasy for a deep fried. My bf is picky with gyoza but this one by far his favorite. Butterfly Shrimp - I think it's called butterfly shrimp lol. I have the same opinion like the chicken wings. I hope you enjoy your time at this place like my boyfriend, my friends and I did. read more

For a Hong Kong dessert place, this place was met with approval by the native HK friends I brought. Not being a HK native, I enjoyed it-- mango was fresh enough despite being out of season, and the Thai sticky rice was pretty decent-- but clearly the hot dessert soups are the way to go if you want the most of your experience here, mostly because there's sooooo many other places that now do mango desserts. No need to waste a trip here on stuff you can get elsewhere! read more

Located in a plaza-- not the same plaza as 85 degrees. It's the next one over. Hong Kong style dessert place with drinks and a some snacks. Mango pomelo sago with tofu pudding -cold- -not too sweet - good portion of the mangos - less than $7 Service was kinda lacking. No water or tea was offered. But cool place to just catch up with a friend. read more

What a cute place! If you are craving Asian desserts, this is the place to check out. I like how they offer tea when you sit down which was great when it is cold outside. They have a good variety of desserts to try from so there is something for everyone. I had their blueberry souffle pancakes which were fluffy! It was like eating air with the batter being super light. We also had this coconut based with fruits dessert which was refreshing. The desserts were not super sweet so I didn't feel bloated afterwards. Come check out this place if you're in the area! read more

Came here to try out their soufflé but found out we had to be there before 6 pm to get that which they need to reconsider that and have it be available anytime as that seems to be what folks want. We end up ordering a variety of desserts. The black sesame and red bean with the balls were not bad but wished they had other balls with different fillings. The other desserts were ok. The kiwi fruit wasn't bad. I will give this place another try and hope I make it there for their soufflé to write an updated review. read more

The desserts are good and well-packaged. But, in my opinion, they are too overpriced. I thought that it would be bigger while browsing at the pictures. Though it was good. My favorite was the vanilla frost because it was sweet and cold. I thought that I would like the mango with glutinous rice balls, but the mango lacked a bit of taste. I wanted the mango pomelo to have a bit more mango flavor, but it was alright. The Thai black rice was packed with flavors and the vanilla frosh really compliments it. Overall, I would come back again, though it is a bit overpriced, it's good. read more

Finally got to try Hong Kong dessert in such a cute little place -Mango and Grass Jelly in Vanilla Frost (4/5): The waitress suggested this for us because it is one of their best-sellers. The vanilla frost is much sweeter than snow ice, and I think it overpowered the taste of the grass jelly and mango. Nevertheless, it served its purpose well as a cool and refreshing dessert on a very hot day. -Matcha Peach Gum Drink (4/5): It was our first time seeing peach gum in a drink, and we were excited to try it. Peach gum is a resin that accrues on the bark of peach trees, and it is apparently one of the biggest health crazes in China right now. The texture is gummy, and we loved the subtle sweet floral hint it added to the drink. The matcha, on the other hand, was a bit lacking in flavor. We also saw that they had jiggly souffle pancakes, and we can't wait to try it next time! read more

Sweethoney is a great dessert spot on Main St!! Walked here after having dinner down the street and I'm really glad I tried it! The ingredients are pretty fresh and the dessert is light and won't make you fall into a food coma after a heavy dinner. We tried the mango pomelo sago and the coconut milk sago and the mango pomelo one was the winner in my book! It was super light and fresh and I loved the mango/pomelo combination. I went at night close to closing time and it was still pretty packed, so the dessert took a little longer than we expected. Parking is really easy since there's a few structures around and some street parking. Definitely check out sweethoney if you're in the area having lunch/dinner! read more

Luv the free tea. Iconic Hong Kong dessert that overwhelms you with a sense of nostalgia: Singapore and also baby food bc honestly that's the texture lol. It's still good though??? Love the complimentary hot tea and the interior is like very wood/SE Asia realness. There's also a little parking lot tucked behind on the street before it! But also no restroom??? My bladder is the size of a shot glass; one star off. read more

Extremely disappointing customer service. When I had a question to ask the manager, instead of asking me "how can I help you" his first sentence is "are you the one having a problem". That moment I know that not only my question will not be answered appropriately, but also I have to handle his unprofessional attitude. It's hard to believe the manager of a business would communicate with the customer in such rude and argumentative manner. For no reason the manager got so self-defensive and kept answering my questions with sentences like "you are the one wanted to ask this, you're the one wanted to order that...". To me it seems like the manager rather spend time arguing with the customers than actually solve the problem. read more

I find it kind of odd to have a high end boba restaurant for boba, but it's cute it was my first time there and I got the Flower Tea with red bean. I thought the tea was good but I didn't feel as satisfied maybe because their cup looked more fancy than what their drink taste. Overall, I'd bring my cousin who is a boba lover to let her to try it. Same parking as Vietnam Kitchen plaza. read more

I came in person to order one sesame almond soup. 1 I was told that the system was down and asked for cash payment. I was fine with paying cash even the person in front of me paid with credit card. Then I saw another table paying credit card. 2 I stood inside and waited 30 mins to pick up my order. I followed up the staff because other tables came after me and they already had the food. Then he ran inside to check and told me that it was still in progress. I asked if they forgot my order. I was told the order receipt dropped on the floor and they didn't see it. Dessert was not bad but bad service and management. If you come here it's better to pay attention which guests come before and after you. Otherwise, good luck in waiting read more

This place specializes in traditional Hong Kong desserts, which might not be for everyone. Parking is on the street or in a nearby structure. This place is probably best for a small group up to four but not larger than that since there is not much table space. They serve you hot tea which was a nice contrast to the cold desserts. The waitresses we're nice but always busy as the place was packed. The desserts they have can be either cold or hot and they use an assortment of jellies, milk ices, ice cream, fruit, and rice cakes. We got the mango sago, mango sticky rice, and grass jelly with milky ice. I liked the mango sago and mango sticky rice the best. The grass jelly didn't really have any taste. Don't forget to check in for a free scope of either vanilla or green tea ice cream. read more

The desserts menu was intense, so many freaking choices! This place reminds me of the typical Hong Kong dessert restaurant. I had their black sesame soup with black sesame balls it was delicious read more

The desserts themselves were ok. It had the comforting feeling of Hong Kong style desserts, but all the desserts kind of tasted the same after a while. I know service isn't a big part of Asian restaurants, but the service here was a little weird. We got seated right away and everything was fine until we received our desserts. We had asked for an extra spoon since two of us were sharing a dessert and they told us that they were out of spoons and were washing them. We were fine with waiting, but then the next person that came out of the kitchen came out with spoons for another table. We ended up waiting another 5-7 min to flag down someone to get us a spoon. It was a bit irksome trying to get their attention because often times they would all be huddled around the cashier and just be talking. There was one instance where we asked for more tea but instead we received napkins. I want to give the benefit of the doubt since it was near the end of the day, but it was just a strange experience. read more

Would've been 3 stars if the prices were more reasonable for the quality of deserts that were served. The black sesame desert was the same quality as any grocery stores and the mango desert was unremarkable. read more

Came to the Alhambra location first time but 2nd time overall. Had the purple yam, peach gum milk and the red bean tofu soup. Generally, I like the taste. Not too sweet and uses genuine ingredients. Red bean soup even has ginkon. Only con is that both the drink and the soup are a little bit too watery for me. read more

This place is one of my favorite dessert places! Love all their vanilla frosts desserts and their durian and mango pancakes. The hot soup desserts are also amazing! I've tried the mango and matcha soufflé pancakes - they're okay, but not the best that I've had. I definitely recommend this place to anyone craving dessert because they have a great variety to choose from. read more

Do you have a great Variety of drinks and desserts here. My favorite is the dalgona Coffee and they're one of the few places to serve it, was coming for just for that.

Jiggly soft pillowy pancakes now available here in LA! Saved me a trip to Japan, whew! I tried mango, blueberry and matcha. They were all good, the mango was refreshing and filled with juicy chunks of ripe mango. The blueberry was just the right amount of sweetness and fruity in flavor. The matcha is creamy and has a nice tea flavor! I'm excited to try the strawberry one next! Drinks: Flower Peach Gum is my new favorite "boba" drink!! Such a unique find and I personally love floral notes in my tea so it worked perfectly. Peach gum is a very unique topping and my first time trying it here. I like how it doesn't have add more of a sweet flavor, but rather provides a fun texture that keeps your drink interesting! It also happens to have health benefits and who doesn't love that. Purple Yam Sago was creamy, filling and made with real purple yam! It felt healthy just to drink it haha. Their passion orange green tea is so good and I can tell the teas they use all are good quality floral teas. LOVE that. My friends tried the fresh fruit drink and it was super refreshing and juicy! Interior: Plenty of seats and a great place to come with friends or family read more

I love Asian dessert and this place has been on my list ever since they opened. We went on a Sat night and I was surprised that there was only one person handling the whole place include service, cashier and cook. I got their hot dessert half sesame paste and half red bean soup with rice cake. Honestly everything was overly sweet. Rice cake was great but I wish it is chewier. Red bean soup and sesame paste taste like store bought. I love any kind of rice cake and this place will do if I am desperate for some okay Asian dessert. However, I probably will not choose here if I am down to drive somewhere else for decent Asian dessert. read more

If I have a choice to give a zero star, I'll definitely do so. Came here at 9pm with party of 8, hostess was already giving us a bitchy face and pointed us to a table for 6 only. 5 minutes later, she told us to order by 9:30 and closing at 10. She kept staring at us with this bitchy look. Very very in welcoming. Maybe they don't want any business. Literally we have one whole hour before their closing. We didn't even finish looking at the menu nor giving any order but have to take off. Cannot stand her face. Will never ever go back. read more

Sweethoney Dessert is located on Main Street between 4th and 5th. They have a parking structure behind which you will need to enter into from 4th Street. The menu offers a good variety and features a lot of pictures! I love the yellow bowls, plates and spoons! Mango Pancake (2 pieces) * Thick mango slice was sweet and juicy * Cream was light and airy * Crepe was thin but held everything together Walnut and Almond with Glutinous Rice Balls * Walnut soup had a thick consistency and a delicious nutty taste * Almond flavor was too strong and tasted artificial * Rice balls were filled with a black sesame mixture (Soft and chewy!) Overall, I loved the mango pancake even though my wallet was not so in love ($6.95 for two pieces - 4 bites)! read more

Happy this place opened in downtown Alhambra !! Service was pretty good around 9pm the lady helping us was super nice but I did notice it got pretty busy when we left and there were only 2 servers !! Things we ordered -Fresh durian with snowy ice (?) with black sticky rice-5/5 if you like durian. My fiancé LOVED it and ate the whole thing. He said the durian was really fresh and yummy! -mango pomelo sago-4/5-pretty good! I liked the tofu pudding in it! And it was well balanced -hot milk ginger -1/5. I loooveee steamed milk but this one was SO GINGERY that it was almost inedible. the strong ginger lingered in my mouth for a while after every bite and I ended up only eating about 1/3. Please make this less gingery!! Overall this place has a lot of different dessert choices! I will be back to try more ! read more

One of the few HK dessert places in the SGV! It is a cute little place with bright lighting and great seating. After being seated, we were all given complimentary tea! The servers were friendly, and continued to refill our tea! It's a great place to hangout and have chat with friends or family. They have a location in Arcadia and they also have locations in NorCal. I heard about how popular this place is in the bay and I'm so glad they opened one in the SGV! The menus are fancy and extensive. It matched the classy and unique ambience of the decor. We got three desserts and loved every bit of it. - Mango Pomelo Sago Tofu Pudding - Mango with Grass Jelly in Vanilla Frost - Snow Capped Mountain with Grass Jelly Our favorite was the Mango with Grass Jelly in Vanilla Frost! It is an absolute must especially if you love mangoes. The vanilla frost was the best part as it was smooth and milky. It was icy but it was creamier and better than shaved ice! The Snow Capped Mountain also had vanilla frost, and it tasted amazing with the green tea and vanilla ice cream. I loved the Mango Pamela Sago Tofu Pudding as well, but the Pomelo was a little bitter. I would still order it again, because the Tofu Pudding and Sago was amazing! I am definitely coming here again to try other desserts! read more
