    When you enter the restaurant, you're invited to order dine in or to go by the staff. There's also plentiful menus by the entrance and on the window outside. I ordered the Taro Balls No. 1 and it was so good! I loved the different textures of the toppings in the food. I'll have to try more taro ball desserts after this. However, I don't recommend the fruit teas. Wayyyyy too sweet and the colors aren't the same as advertised.

    Sometimes i just have a craving and need something gently sweet and soft and fruity. the mango and pomelo sago and tofu custard perfectly hit the spot. if you're looking for a big jolt of sugar or pumped up flavor, this is not that. the maudlin c-pop videos mixes with the sound of some shoot-em-up video game hidden behind the counter to make for a strange soundscape. the visuals are not exactly tiktok ready. but the desserts seem solid. the black sesame and almond sauce with mochi balls was also good. the sauces were smooth and warm and soothing (i much preferred the natural tasting black sesame sauce to the almond-extract flavored white sauce) but beware the mochi balls with their molten black sesame filling (the centers have more texture than the sauce). you're good as long as you can wait a minute for the temperature to come down and nibble carefully at first.

    Really great spot for a large selection of classic asian desserts. I wish more of these one-off dessert bistros existed around the bay area. You could argue Meet Fresh fits the bill, but I think there's something special about the vibe of these one-off dessert shops that is hard to replicate in a giant franchise. We ordered four desserts: 1. Egg puffs (bubble waffles) with mango ice cream and fruit 2. Almond Tofu Pudding 3. Mango Pomelo Sago 4. Milk Ice with Green Tea and Strawberry Ice Cream Despite have a cheesecake factory sized menu, the quality on every dish was upheld, and the waiter was very attentive when we were ordering individual ice cream flavours. Speaking of the ice cream - it was fantastic; the mango ice cream they have was exceptional with a great flavour and texture. P.S. i love that there's curry fish balls on the menu and it just falls right in the middle of the menu between two types of desserts - if that isn't a sign of a high quality classic asian dessert shop, I don't know what is.
