Classic bun
Rosalyn L.

Saw this had opened up where Famoso used to be and decided to come try it for dessert! We ended up splitting the classic bun, which came with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. It came fresh and I liked the contrast between the warm bun and the cold ice cream. It's $12+ for a bun depending on what flavour you pick, which I found a bit high. I was also hoping to see some more Asian inspired flavours since the base is a deep fried bao. The employees were very friendly and let us know which flavours were the most popular. The space seemed a bit empty, although I loved what they did with the pizza stove. Will definitely be back if any new flavours pique my interest!

It's pretty much a donut with ice cream on top. The bun is kinda of more like bread. Real good ice cream, and it's a decent size. 16 without tax for one, it is pretty expensive, but it is still real tasty. Dude at the till was nice took 3$ off each $25.10 total with tax.

I finally managed to stop by to try the Strawberry Nutella bun and it did not disappoint. The deep fried milk bun was soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. The warmed bun paired perfectly with the Nutella spread, scoop of cold vanilla ice cream and strawberry slices. The different textures and flavours mixed together nicely. The portion size was good for sharing. Service was friendly and efficient. The store was bright with ample seating. Price was around $15 which was okay to try once in a while.

This is our 2nd year of getting these @ Richmond Night Market. So warm & delicious! I miss the Pistachio flavor they had last year but Ube flavor was really great too! The workers are greats & always singing & having a great time!!

The warm buttery bun will just melt in your mouth. I love how it's paired with fresh mango and a scoop of vanilla ice cream! Tried this at the Dumpling festival. I would love to try the other items at the restaurant!

The ice for the bing-soo are super fine and delicious. At the beginning I kind of thought they were…read morecoconut shavings but they just look like it. They melt in your mouth and perfect texture. We got: MANGO BINGSOO -the best of the bunch. They used sweet Manila mangoes so they were sweet and delicious. Will be my go -to from this point on STRAWBERRY BINGSOO - it was okay. The strawberries were not as sweet so maybe it would be better during strawberry season (whenever that is)? OREO BINGSOO - pretty good. My nephew liked it a lot CHEESECAKE BINGSOO - skip it. You get 4 tiny slices of cheesecake to the side and some crumbs on top that were pretty good but just didn't pack as much flavor as the others we had.

I was intrigued by the Asian desserts they served so I convinced my "I swear by ice cream on any…read moreday" kind of husband to try this new place. Expected it to be a small place serving some desserts but this place is huge and had a very young vibe! We looked around and everyone was digging into a big tub spooning out it's "shaved ice" like contents into small bowls and enjoying it. That's what I want i decided. It was Bingsoo! So delicious!! It comes in fruit flavours among others and we opted for strawberry bingsoo but I saw everyone going for a mango one. The bingsoo came in a big tub like bucket which had ice cream in the middle , ice on top and it was covered with strawberries and topped with whipped creme . We enjoyed it and it was frankly a little too much for 3 of us. We also tried the Nutella filled pancakes which were flaky and light! Definitely worth trying. Food: 3.5/5 Ambience: 3.5/5 Service: 3.5/5

My cousin took me here, as she claimed it was a must visit, while I was in BC for a trip, and she…read morewas right! Even just stepping inside was mind blowing. It was beautiful especially signage. I particularly loved the giraffe. The inside is not big, but it doesn't feel tight. They also have outdoor seating which was nice. Although it was busy, the accommodating service never lacked. So happy to see people enjoy what they do! I ordered the ube matcha with macadamia milk. I didn't even know macadamia nuts could turn into milk!! But it's become my favourite milk alternative. The drink itself was a perfect balance of all 3. I find that usually one over powers the other, but the ube, matcha, and milk all came through. I also ordered the mini cupcakes and they were just right. The cupcake flavours change daily which is great as you will never get tired of it (they post the flavours on their ig story). We also could not leave without the malasadas which was fluffy and creamy and not too sweet! Overall a great experience. Will definitely come back the next time I visit.

Customer service was outstanding right off the bat. They had a cute welcome card at our table.

We were pleasantly surprised that they offer guests access to their full drink menu including their specials. Ube matcha was good, but had a hint of cinnamon which we could have gone without. The matcha mango was also good. The blackberry lavender matcha was too floral for our liking. However, eventually you get used to it and then it becomes more enjoyable. The pandesals were super fresh and we loved both the ube and strawberry butters that came with it. I wish that they came a bit warmer, so that the butters could have melted a touch. I thoroughly enjoyed all 3 sandwiches. I especially loved the arugula on the mozerella sandwich. The blackberry brie sandwich could have used a touch more brie, but was still delicious. The cheesecakes were good, but a bit too sweet. The strawberry was my favorite. I enjoyed tasting multiple flavors. Their red velvet cupcake was extremely moist. The pistachio malasada was cute and flavorful. The filling to pastry ratio was good. I think that the experience could have been better balanced if there were a few more savory items. One thing that we noticed was that all of the pastries including the malasada were cold. I can understand that there are some food safe requirements that need to be met in how desserts are stored. However, letting them sit out for even 20-30 minutes before consumption would have been better.
