    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

    I tried "che ba mau", just average. Definitely not as good as Hien Khanh. It doesn't seem like they use coconut milk from fresh coconuts

There's a flavor for everyone from your standard fruity flavors (more my style) to your decadent cookie and candy flavors (decadent being used loosely the macros pencil out). I do love the focus on the nutrients which is generally phony when you see it on menus in restaurants but here it's authentic and on point mainly because this is the major sell point of the shop. It's also a very welcoming and friendly spot that, although overwhelming in options, becomes easy to understand in a few minutes. Lastly, personal opinion, support your local businesses. People like Angie are taking risks to deliver to you quality lifestyle products and an experience. If we don't want to live in a world where we are forced to look for healthy options on fast food menus that are stuffed full of shit we need to support the locals who take those risks and listen to what we want which is healthy lifestyle choices.
