    This spot is Vietnamese dessert heaven. If you know, you know--and if you don't? Get yourself to Thạch Chè Mỹ Linh immediately. The chè here is absolutely chef's kiss. It's not overly sweet like a lot of other places--just that perfect balance of coconutty, chewy, crunchy, icy magic that hits every texture craving at once. My go-to is the chè thập cẩm (mixed dessert)--it's a beautiful chaos of mung beans, pandan jelly, red beans, jackfruit, and coconut milk over crushed ice. A full textural masterpiece. You'll also find a rainbow of Vietnamese jellies (thạch) stacked in the cold case like art. Everything is homemade, fresh, and wildly nostalgic if you grew up eating this stuff. It's giving: your auntie's kitchen, but with better lighting and way more variety. Bonus points for being super affordable, fast, and run by the sweetest family. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's cash only and takeout-style--nothing fancy--but honestly, that's part of the charm.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Pro tip: Grab extra pandan jelly and grass jelly on the side. You'll thank me later.

    Still my VNese sweet place to go to. Also, highly recommended come near the time they close so they will give you abit xtra, just saying. The foods are delish and hit all the sweet spots. Great service by staff and the owner. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is spotless and well organized.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Chè đâu ván

    Hôm nay Bő mình có ghé mua 2 phần chè, hỏi giá thì mới biết là một chén $5. Ông thường mua chén nhỏ $1.5, nên nghỉ chắc có $3 chén lớn thì ông chủ nói " anh mới ở Việt Nam qua sao, tôi bán ở đây gần 40 năm "....Bő tôi cười và nói " mới vài tháng" nhưng ông ở đây cũng gần 40 năm mới ghé tiệm lần đầu và chắc là lần cuối. Nhắn gởi chú bán hàng, vui vẻ với khách là điều cơ bản, ở đây lâu mà vẫn chưa học được cách giao tiếp với khách hàng thi nên xem lại....chè thì OK không quá ngọt nhưng bột năng nhiều hơn đậu, cháu sẽ đánh 3, nhưng phục vụ không đạt nên còn 2 ...

    $6.50 for a Che Thai. They have a variety of Vietnamese desserts, all authentic. They take CASH ONLY.

    The parking lot to get here on a Sunday is a mad house since it's shared by so many establishments. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Once I finally arrived it wasn't too busy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Two friendly workers inside that helped me immediately. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop is organized and felt neat and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I tried the che 3 mau and che thai. Both were really good and refreshing but the red beans in the che 3 mau were a little hard for my taste. The coconut milk they use for the che 3 mau is also so fatty because when I added the ice the fat congealed. I liked that they give you fresh shaved ice for your desserts. It melts fast to cool the dessert and is also easy to eat and crunch on. They are a cash only so remember to bring cash and get ready to eat some delicious desserts.

    Of course I'll have to have some sweet every time we in town and perfect dessert place next door. Got their refreshing Che ba mau and Che banana coz I love banana in all version lol.

    che thai is my favorite

    Where do Vietnamese peeps go for authentic desserts? Here. Been coming here for, like, ever. This was my late mama's favorite place too. So whenever I come here I always think of her. It is by far, the best place in Little Saigon for Vietnamese desserts. The quality continues to meet high expectations for me. The taste never changes. Their recipes stay consistent and delicious. So what is Vietnamese desserts"? Some is based with mung beans, corn, sweet potato, taro root, and with or without coconut milk. My favorite is Che Thai - it contains longan, coconut jelly, jackfruit, tapioca water chestnuts, pandan jelly, and more jelly, and coconut milk or half and half. It is so refreshing on a hot summer day. And they make the best here! Please try it. The chewy coconut jelly is so good. Definitely taste it! You will be hooked, especially on a hot soCal day There are so many 'che' to try. And shakes too. Have at it and enjoy a treat. Service is ALWAYS good and friendly. And they pack the food with love. The way every business should! Your food will never be damaged when you open up your package at home. I do like that the shop is well kempt. Major plus! Come and support this small local business and stimulate the economy. You will do them and yourself a great favor! Enjoy!

    All so yummy!!

    Walked into this store once for some dessert fix and then.... I am hooked. I cant pronounce any of the item's names but I just try a bunch of different things every time and they all turn out to be great. Some ladies might not speak English there but it doesn't affect the fact that they are so nice and friendly. The only con is they are cash only

    This hidden gem has been around for 13 years! Had no idea this little shop tucked away between Seafood Paradise and Stater Bros serves such fresh tapioca desserts (che), alfresco drinks and even to-go foods! The owner was so helpful and cute-- love how proud she is of her "baby" and you can tell she puts her heart and soul into it. She definitely takes pride in only the freshest ingredients, quality sources and cleanliness. Definitely our go-to!

    Whenever I come to OC for work, I always have to pick up to go Vietnamese food and desserts (Che). I typically go to the other Che spot but wanted to try something new. Great Yelp reviews but the place is just ok. The Che was a bit watered down. Its a super clean spot and has chairs for you to enjoy, unlike others spots but the other spot is much better with food.

    Pricing 12/16/23. Cash only

The interior is quite spacious, with vibrant yellow and green chairs that create a cozy atmosphere reminiscent of a Vietnamese café. We ordered the Mango Chè and Thai Chè. The Mango Chè leaned more toward a smooth mango purée with fewer fresh mango cubes than expected, while the Thai Chè was exactly what I had hoped for. One thoughtful touch was the presentation--the ice was served separately, allowing the dessert portion to remain generous without being diluted or taking up space in the bowl. The only downside was the seating area along the side wall. Several of the seat cushions appeared quite worn and noticeably dirty, which detracted from the overall dining experience.

Soft jazz music played throughout the café, creating a peaceful ambiance that made it easy to settle in and enjoy the space. One of my favorite things about this café was the variety of drinks available. There were so many interesting options to choose from, and I decided to try the Sakura Latte. It was beautifully presented and had a delicate floral flavor that was both unique and refreshing. You can tell that a lot of thought goes into both the taste and presentation of the drinks. The dessert display was equally impressive. The cake case was filled with a variety of beautiful, aesthetic-looking cakes and pastries that immediately caught my attention. Everything looked carefully crafted and almost too pretty to eat. Even if you're not planning on ordering dessert, it's worth taking a look at the display because it's truly eye-catching. The café is also incredibly photogenic. There are plenty of aesthetic corners, cute décor elements, and picture-perfect spots throughout the space, making it great for Instagram photos. The combination of natural lighting and tasteful interior design creates a welcoming environment that's both stylish and comfortable. They also offer a 30% off student discount which is so generous! I appreciate the friendly service and letting me know about the discount :) Overall, this café is a great place to study, work remotely, catch up with friends, or simply unwind with a drink and dessert. Between the smooth jazz music, wide selection of beverages, beautiful cakes, Instagram-worthy interior, and generous student discount, it's definitely a spot I'll be returning to again.

The person I was with enjoyed it, so it's good for some people. Just not for me.

    Yummy Bakery July 13, 2026…read moreThis morning, I passed by Yummy Bakery to grab some breakfast. As I waited for my order, I noticed a homeless person enter the store; he stood in line holding a cup of noodles. He asked the lady at the front counter for hot water for his cup of noodles. Without hesitation, the lady at the counter took the cup of noodles from him, poured hot water in it, and gave him a spoon. The homeless person said, "Thank you." He then walked outside, standing on the side of the bakery and eating his cup of soup. I can't help but mention this act of kindness shown to that homeless man. I come to Yummy Bakery regularly to buy crispy roast pork Banh Mi, baked cassava, salted duck egg steamed bun, mam chung, matcha tofu pudding, and lots of other baked breads and drinks they offer. The place can be easily found, with enough parking spots. The inside is bright and clean, including their restroom. In the morning rush, the line could be long but the staff is fast and efficient in taking orders. A must-try bakery on your list! It has become my favorite spot since last year. I'll keep coming back for more and recommend it to my friends who love to explore great food like YUMMY BAKERY!

I also think the prices are better compared to some other places. I've also tried their steamed buns. They're okay, but honestly not my favorite. I still buy them once in a while because they're convenient and easy to grab. They have a few tables inside if you don't want to take your food to go and prefer to sit and eat there. Parking is usually not a problem, so stopping by is pretty easy.

He was rushing my mom and felt irritated that she was asking questions. There were rau cau that came in singles and rau cau that came in 6. I never knew that the ones that came in six were just display and not for sale. My mom wanted to save the dude from grabbing single ones, so she asked for the tray of 6 Pandan coconut. He gave my mom attitude saying that he only sell the single ones. If she insisted in buying the tray of 6 then it will be extra cost. Lol in that case we rather get in singles..duh! More convenient to eat...crazy! Afterwards, when he noticed that my mom was buying more stuff, he kinda stopped with his attitude. Like yo...chill. One or two items, you're still making money. That how you became you today!!! I gonna give this place another chance. In the future, if he still act such ways..it's goodbye for good. For sure, I will lower the ratings as well.
