After trying Tong Sui for my first time this week, I'm officially hooked! Their coco avocado drink (less sweet) is so smooth, light, and refreshing on a warm afternoon. I appreciate it is not a sweet drink, which sets it apart from most drinks these days. I never knew I would love avocado as part of a dessert. I can have that coco avocado drink everyday, just that good! read more

Always been a fan of their coconut pudding but I tried their drinks for the first time yesterday. I really loved the melon melody drink. Usually takes me two- three days to finish a boba but this one I gulped down! It's honeydew, jasmine green tea and it tasted very refreshing. I got the minimal sweet but you can really taste the natural sweetness of the fruit. Highly recommend this drink on a warm summer day. read more

It's been a while since I've had tong sui. Since melo melo popped up in the bay, we've been going there a lot more. However, in my mind, I've always thought they were pretty similar. Well I recently did a side by side comparison and they are def not the same! The texture of tong sui is much more firm, more akin to smooth coconut jelly, whereas melo melo is more soft and silky, almost like a custardy pudding. Personally, I like the texture of melo melo a lot more - I just melts in your mouth! I also like the flavors at melo melo a bit more, like their triple matcha and triple latte. I'd say melo melo is sweeter while tong sui is lighter, so side by side, tong sui tastes a bit more bland. However, with that being said, I still think tong sui makes a great dessert that's nice and refreshing on a hot day! They also have cool seasonal flavors, like persimmon during the lunar new year! read more

Walking around San Mateo after dinner, we decided to pick up some dessert. I've previously enjoyed Tong Sui's assortment of coconut puddings and saw a new seasonal, roasted yam on their list. Also, I've never tried their drinks, so this would be a first for me. ***OUR PICKS*** COCONUT ICE BOMB WITH MANGO ~ Fresh coconut water, coconut milk, fresh mango purée. This was a lightly sweetened refreshing drink. Perfect, if you don't want anything rich and heavy. I added crystal boba for a chewy, bouncy texture for an otherwise silky, smooth drink. Lovely, but somehow I ended up missing sago. I guess too many shops add sago that I've become accustomed to having it included when mango and coconut are together. Silly me! 4/5 ROASTED YAM COCONUT PUDDING CRÈME BRÛLÉE ~ coconut pudding topped with fresh toasted sweet potato purée and house special crème brûlée. This one was really yummy from top to bottom! Thoroughly enjoyed every bite of this! Somewhat rich but not at all heavy. If you like yam, this one's for you! 5/5 I walked in and used their kiosk, since the cashier was busy getting a previous order ready. This spot is brightly lit and clean. Service was efficient and pleasant. And the desserts that they make actually taste and feel healthy. If that's even possible being a dessert. It might seem expensive for a small jar of pudding (roughly $10), but it's made with quality ingredients! That's why I'm a repeat customer and a big fan! read more

Tong Sui is a popular Asian dessert shop in San Mateo specializing in silky coconut puddings and refreshing fruit-based beverages. The shop is known for its "not too sweet" flavor profile and use of high-quality ingredients like organic fruits dessert. It was popular for its coconut pudding and specialized on that but overtime they also fruit drink with topping. The shop is small but has some seating area. Ordering is simple using touch screen kiosk. The cocunut pudding is pre-made and the drink is made from order. Currently they have limited time persimmon drink. They don't have any boba tea drink like other boba tea shop. They offer fresh fruit and looks like they add coconut water. The pudding and drink are fresh and refreshing. Pricewise it is is at the higher side compare to regular boba tea drop but ingredients seem good quality one. read more

I didn't realize that coconut based drinks and puddings could be so addicting. I've come to Tong Sui over 10 times and I can firmly say it's one of if not my favorite spot on B street. The drinks are good, not too sweet and they have great toppings/mix-in options. What really makes this place stand out is the pudding. Now you may be wondering, is the pudding that go-- Yes, yes it is. You can ask for a sample if you don't believe me. I've tried a couple of different flavors like the signature, mango mochi, persimmon mochi, mango sticky rice and the new roasted yam crème brûlée. I really like the persimmon mochi as the persimmon flavor mends well with the coconut pudding. The mochi is a nice touch and you can mix it all together so that everything emulsifies. The roasted yam is my second favorite as it has a nice contrast with the pudding. If you are in the area for dessert, I would highly recommend stopping here. read more

I ordered the mango mochi and strawberry matcha, and both were delicious! The mango mochi had that perfect chewy mochi texture, and the mango itself tasted super fresh and flavorful. The strawberry matcha was also really nice -- not overpowering, but still flavorful and well-balanced. I also appreciated that it wasn't too heavy or filling, especially after a big dinner nearby. Each comes in a glass container you can take home, which I love -- such a nice touch and perfect for enjoying later too. read more

Amazing option to grab a drink or dessert if you love coconut flavor. But don't worry, coconut isn't all that they've got! Many drinks are coconut free as well. Their drinks and coconut pudding is sweet enough for a sweet treat but not so sweet where you feel sick from the sugar. It also tastes more natural than artificial. Highly recommend the Coco Avocado and any of their coconut pudding. Don't forget to save the jars as you can redeem 10 jars for 1 free pudding. The store itself is very simple with no extravagant decorations. There's ~4 tables inside and another 4 tables outside. They can get pretty busy at night but service is relatively fast. read more

The coconut puddings from Tong Sui are always a solid lightweight dessert option - not overly sweet and low calories, with plenty of flavors to work through, including seasonal ones. Pricing a tad high at ~$10 per jar, but if you bring back 10 clean jars together to recycle, they give you a free one! This time I tried out the taro & ube sago and the black sesame puddings -- both were lovely! I also got the nutty noir drink which was a black sesame drink which came with mini taro balls, really enjoyed this drink as well, very flavorful with the sesame and the taro balls was a great complement (glad this was the default topping option). Staff member was super friendly and quick to offer to take my order (someone else was at the self-order kiosk) and helpful when I asked about the drink description. I do wish their displayed menu included all items (I only noticed some matcha drink options when the side panel menu rotated to show specials and seasonal options) as well as a description so I didn't need to ask (or use the self-kiosk to find out). All in all, another great Tong Sui location. This location is in downtown San Mateo, so parking is bit harder but there are public lots (free on Sundays) nearby and within walking distance. Interior is pretty small, only 3 small tables, so not really a sit down place, but the dessert/drinks are easy to take to go. Service was quite fast as they don't have as extensive of a "drinks" menu compared to boba shops, so should not ever be too much of a wait. I picked it for the fast turnaround and light dessert, will be back if I'm in San Mateo again! read more

San Mateo downtown is honestly the place to be right now--it's basically the "war room" for AI entrepreneurs. You can practically hear the next big startup being pitched at every other table. We swung by Tang Sui right in the middle of downtown for a post-dinner treat. If you're a matcha fan, this is your spot. We ordered a boba drink and a matcha, and both were super refreshing with a really deep, authentic matcha flavor. We also shared the original coconut pudding. It was good, but honestly a little on the bland side for me--it didn't scream "coconut" as much as I hoped. Pro tip: Make sure to actually mix in the little coconut pack they give you; it definitely helps elevate the flavor and gives it that kick it needs. Service was quick and friendly, which is always a plus. Great spot to refuel while you're out and about! read more

Located in Downtown San Mateo, this Tong Sui location not only offers the expected coconut puddings, but they also have drinks on the menu. I'm not really into coconut puddings so I opted for their mango coconut drink which was delicious. My only critique is they should close down their DoorDash or other online ordering apps during high traffic hours because it was clear the staff was overwhelmed by the amount of orders on a Saturday afternoon and in person orders were delayed. read more

I'm not sure how it managed to happen, given how long they've been around and how many times I've…read moreeaten around 3rd Ave, but I had no idea Dessert Republic even existed, let alone been here. Presumably, never walking down their block of the Main St. alley had a lot to do with it, but who knows how much longer it would've taken if not for my friends suggesting we come here for dinner. Which is kind of ironic, considering the name of this place! While nothing about the outside of Dessert Republic really stands out, the decor inside is great. It may not be all that flashy nor have much of an IG aesthetic, but I like how it has a Hong Kong/Chinatown alley sort of look to it. As for the menu, true to their name, there's no shortage of desserts to choose from, whether it be hot desserts, like glutinous rice balls, sweet tofu, or egg pudding, cold desserts, like mixed fruits, sago, or ice cream sundaes, egg puffs, and crepes. In addition, they also have a bunch of regular food options, from snacks and dim sum items, to rice plates, noodle soups, and even lomo saltado. -- (#A03) POPCORN CHICKEN Not terrible, but not popcorn chicken either. Rather, this felt more like the salt & pepper porkchop dishes I've had in the past - the batter was thick, the chicken was unmarinated, it was seasoned with just salt and pepper, and it was topped with cut peppers instead of crispy basil. -- (#S01) BRAISED BRISKET & WONTON NOODLE SOUP Overall, this was a mixed bag. On the plus side, the bowl was decently loaded, the wontons were plump, and it had chunks of beef tendon, which were tender. On the other, while the noodles were fine, the veggies were way overcooked and the beef was chewy. -- (#M08) SUPER STRAWBERRY - Strawberry Freeze, Aloe Jelly, and Strawberries Topped with Strawberry Ice Cream Undoubtedly, this had a lot of strawberry flavor to it. Even though the strawberry freeze didn't do a ton for me, especially as it melted, I liked how well the aloe jelly, strawberries, and ice cream complemented each other. As far as service goes, I've seen some folks mention running into issues, but I've actually found it to be entirely unremarkable, for better or worse. Each time I've been here, the workers haven't really gone beyond the basics (take orders, bring out dishes, take care of checks, etc.), but I never really expect anything more than that either. Still, they do seem to be relatively friendly and get orders out decently fast, which certainly counts for something. Since I've clearly only had a small handful of what their menu has to offer, there's the distinct possibility (probability?) that I haven't had the best of what Dessert Republic has to offer. However, based on what I've ordered and my friends' egg puffs and sweet tofu that I've tried (both were fine), the desserts here definitely seem to be the safer bet overall. Which is handy since they stay open so late, especially on Friday and Saturday nights (until 1am).

Beard Papa's

The very first time I ever tried Beard Papa's, over a decade ago when the one by the Metreon in SF…read morefirst opened, I wasn't exactly blown away by the experience. Granted, my friends probably hyped it up a bit too much while we were waiting in line (I think it was already their second or third time going), but, regardless, I thought it was just okay. Fast forward all of these years later and I have to say - whether it's because my tastes have changed or because I found a flavor that I really liked, this place is so much better than I remember! With so many boba joints and dessert shops nearby, it's pretty easy to overlook Beard Papa's. Being located on the edge of downtown/3rd Ave certainly doesn't help, but, for something quick and convenient (and different), they're a decent option. While the menu may not look all that extensive, it has a fair amount to offer when you consider how you can mix and match your choice from their near dozen cream puffs/eclairs and handful of cream fillings. Add to that the occasional seasonal/featured flavors they'll have and their assortment of lava cakes and cheesecakes and there's plenty to choose from! -- ST. VALENTINE'S RASPBERRY ECLAIR - Raspberry Cream Custard-filled Eclair with White Chocolate Coating and Raspberry Frosting This was a seasonal offering (admittedly, an older one), but if they ever added this to their regular menu, I'd easily get this again. Surprisingly, this actually wasn't super sweet and I loved how well the raspberry and white chocolate flavors complemented each other. -- GREENT TEA ECLAIR WITH VANILLA CUSTARD FILLING Not nearly as good as the St Valentine's Eclair, but way better than the original Vanilla Cream Puff I had before. The frosting had a strong hit of green tea to it, and the custard was fine, but, this time, the cream puff felt a little stale/dry-ish. While I definitely enjoyed Beard Papa's cream puffs/eclairs more than I did before, I can't say I've loved everything about this location. Mainly, the service here has been a little uneven - the first time we stopped in, the guy behind the counter looked really annoyed with having to help us and seemed like he was dying for us to leave (FWIW, we walked in almost an hour before they closed). Our last visit, though, the workers were friendly and super fast, as they handed us our eclair before we could even finish paying. Even though my opinion of Beard Papa's has definitely improved, since I never really crave cream puffs/eclairs and limit my sweets to the occasional scoop(s) of ice cream or milk tea, I can't say Beard Papa's is on the verge of getting into my regular dessert rotation. However, given how much I enjoyed their St. Valentine's Raspberry Eclair, I'm definitely more open to coming back than ever before if/when should the desire come along, especially since they don't have those same long lines anymore! THREE AND A HALF STARS rounded up for now.

I love getting the mini ones because you can try all the different flavors, which is the best part. Why pick just one when you can have them all?

Tong Sui's coconut pudding is the kind of dessert that quietly steals the spotlight the moment it hits the table. At first glance it looks simple--smooth, pale, and delicately set--but the experience unfolds with surprising depth. The texture is incredibly silky, almost custard-like, with a gentle wobble that signals just the right balance between firmness and creaminess. Each spoonful glides effortlessly, melting almost instantly on the tongue. The flavor is where it truly shines. The coconut isn't overpowering or artificial; instead it carries a clean, naturally sweet aroma that feels both refreshing and comforting. There's a soft creaminess that lingers, reminiscent of fresh coconut milk, with subtle notes that evoke tropical warmth. It's sweet, but thoughtfully restrained--never cloying--allowing the coconut's natural richness to take center stage. What makes Tong Sui's version especially memorable is how balanced and refined it feels. The pudding is light enough to enjoy after a full meal, yet indulgent enough to satisfy a serious dessert craving. It has that rare quality where each bite tastes just as good as the first, encouraging you to slow down and savor it. Visually, it's just as appealing. The glossy, delicate surface catches the light beautifully, and when served chilled it gives off a subtle freshness that hints at the cool, creamy texture waiting beneath. It's the kind of dessert that feels elegant without trying too hard--minimalist, but deeply satisfying. Overall, Tong Sui's coconut pudding is a masterclass in simplicity done perfectly. It captures the essence of coconut in its purest, smoothest form and transforms it into something that feels both comforting and luxurious. It's the kind of dessert that lingers in your memory long after the last spoonful is gone, leaving you already looking forward to the next one. read more

I usually don't write reviews, but after visiting this tong sui shop, I felt compelled to share my experience. From the moment I stepped inside, I was enveloped in a warm and comforting atmosphere that's rare these days. It was as if I had entered a place that truly understands the value of tradition, hospitality, and flavor. The menu offered an impressive array of both classic and creative tong sui options. I started with the velvety, nutty, and perfectly warm black sesame soup. It was just the right balance of sweetness, not too overpowering. Then, I tried the refreshing mango sago pomelo, which provided a cool and citrusy contrast. Each bite was a delightful explosion of textures. My personal favorite was the taro and sago in coconut milk. It evoked nostalgic feelings and reminded me of the desserts my grandmother used to make. What truly sets this place apart is the meticulous attention to detail in every bowl. The taro was soft yet not mushy, the sago pearls were perfectly chewy, and the fruit was always fresh. It was evident that they didn't compromise on quality. Beyond the delectable food, the staff was incredibly kind and welcoming. They patiently explained the menu to a couple behind me who were unfamiliar with tong sui, even offering samples and suggestions. That level of hospitality made a significant difference in my overall experience. Whether you're seeking a warm and comforting treat on a rainy day or a refreshing escape from the heat, this place delivers. It's the kind of hidden gem that makes you want to invite your family, friends, and anyone who could use a sweet moment in their day. I'll definitely be returning to this place. It's not just a dessert shop; it's a taste of home. read more

If you're a dessert lover, Tong Sui's Persimmon Coconut Pudding is an absolute must-try! The delicate balance of flavors is a testament to the thoughtfulness behind its creation. The sweetness of the persimmon shines through, perfectly complemented by the subtle creaminess of the coconut. The texture is silky smooth yet satisfying, offering just the right amount of firmness. What truly sets this pudding apart is its freshness--every bite bursts with the natural flavor of ripe persimmons, while the coconut base adds a gentle tropical touch that doesn't overpower. The presentation is equally impressive, with a vibrant orange hue that makes it as beautiful as it is delicious. For those who appreciate refined desserts with clean, high-quality ingredients, this pudding delivers. It's a dessert that feels indulgent yet light, perfect for a sweet treat after any meal. Tong Sui has truly outdone itself with this gem! read more

Tong Tsui has quickly become my go-to spot for boba! The moment you step in, you're greeted with a vibrant atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.

The creamy coconut flavor is perfectly balanced, and the icy texture is refreshing, especially on a hot day. It's like a mini vacation in a cup! I love how it's not overly sweet, allowing the natural coconut taste to shine through. The staff is always friendly and quick, making the experience even better. If you're a boba lover or just looking for a delicious treat, you absolutely have to try the Coconut Icebomb at Tong Tsui. Trust me, you won't regret it! read more

I've been coming here for a while now for my favorites (the Mango Mochi pudding and Ice Coco Bomb never miss), but the new mulberry drinks really impressed me. They're super fresh and naturally sweet! It's rare to find something that feels this seasonal and clean. You can tell they actually care about ingredients here. Every time they drop something new, it's not just a trend -- it's well thought out and tastes real. Plus, the shop has this calm, unfussy vibe. Great for a quiet break, a quick catch-up with a friend, or even just grabbing something on the go. Always happy to support a spot that keeps evolving without losing its identity. Highly recommend checking out the mulberry drinks before they're gone. read more

While my friends couldn't stop gushing about this spot, sadly, the black sesame dessert failed to impress. Despite the allure of keeping the jar as a souvenir, the dessert fell short of expectations. The two layers seemed disjointed and failed to meld together, resulting in an unusual texture that left much to be desired. As someone with a discerning sweet tooth, it simply didn't hit the mark for me, and I'm not inclined to revisit solely for this offering. read more
