| - Newly opened dessert place in the area so we decided to try it out because it serves Taiwanese desserts.
Came here on a Sunday night around 10pm, the place was filled not because there was a line up, it was because all the seats and tables were occupied already, given there were only 8 tables.
It was a bit of a turn off that there were no seats available and did make me want to walk out because these kind of desserts isn't ones where you can take out and take home to eat, reason being most of them contain shaved ice or ice cream in it and starts melting by the time you walk out the door on a summer night.
We waited 10mins until we got a table and then we went to the counter to order, which wasn't too bad. There was a few customers that walked in after we sat down and again there were no seats so they walked out. They should find something to solve this problem where not enough seats are available to customers and people DO WALK OUT!
There were mainly 3 categories for desserts, taro balls, herbal jelly and shaved ice with ice cream on top. They do offer drinks as well like bubble tea. We ordered the herbal jelly signature, which came with herbal jelly, tapioca, taro balls, shaved ice and cream. Desserts are $6.90 which is kinda pricy but the order portions are fairly big, more than enough to serve 2 people. If their prices can go lower and make the portions smaller, or offer 2 sizes that'll be better. They don't have the option to add extras to their desserts which was odd and disappointing, so if you want some other toppings, you have to order a whole new portion.
Once you order you food, they give you a pager where you can sit down and wait for your food instead of crowding the counter. It took approximately 10mins to be ready which I find fairly long for a place where there's no other customers' orders besides us.
Maybe I had higher impressions of it from reading all the reviews and pictures, it wasn't as good as I thought. The herbal jelly was ordinary like any other, shaved iced melted so fast that I didn't even noticed it existed in there, tapioca was great like how it's suppose to be, taro balls which were made in house didn't feel any extraordinary, it was chewy but tasteless, Also, I feel that it was towards the sweet side, hitting my sweetness margin and I'm a person who loves sugar.
Overall, it was JUST OK, if their signature is supposingly to be the best in store, it didn't amaze me, and won't be a reason for me to purposely go back, If they can make more seating in the store, it would definitely help with people walking out and losing business.
