This place is 10/10 legit Cantonese dessert. So authentic that they don't even take cards lol, which is a minor annoyance but it's definitely worth the inconvenience for the dessert it offers. If you want authentic Cantonese dessert (糖水) this is the spot. The red bean soup is so good and not too sweet, I added sesame rice balls in it for an extra fee and the rice ball is so big with lots of filling! It was so good. The wait was a bit long which I think is because the rice balls took a while to cook. But definitely worth the wait. read more

Bubble Fruity is a hidden gem in Richmond and one of the best dessert spots around. From traditional Hong Kong-style desserts to refreshing fruit-based treats, everything here hits the spot. The ingredients are fresh, the textures are just right, and the flavors are nostalgic and comforting. Whether you're craving a warm black sesame soup or a chilled mango pomelo sago, Bubble Fruity delivers every time. Really great place--highly recommend for a sweet treat after dinner! read more

Chinese desserts are never decadent but we go for hangouts like Starbucks if there is such a place. Bubble Fruity is such a lace in Vancouver, so be ready to wait in line for a seat... may be 20min. The desserts are solid. You will be happy if your expectation is calibrated! Service and decor are standard affairs of a Chinese dessert place, not fancy but adequate for a $6.50 dessert. Food highlights: Black Sesame Soup - standard affair from typical seafood restaurants if they sell them Peanut Rice Ball - this is well done, perfect chewy texture and sweetness Different Toasts - try them for Hong Kong style cafe food... just nostalgia read more

We went to this place every day while we were there. Their paste options are really good. The sesame, peanut, walnut, and cashew flavors are all tasty. Didn't try the almond tho. You can go hot or cold, and mix two flavors if you want. The sweet in heart is good, can be super hot when it's served, and the fluffy cream toast is dope too. Don't read the Chinese for red bean soup. Nah, still the chenpi tangerine peel red bean soup. Cash or Fantuan delivery works. Can add fresh durian or mango with over $10. Kinda expensive for the portion. Can be crowded sometimes, but we always find a spot. Plus, their time may be different. read more

Cash only! It's a small place, no frills. Seating can be a challenge if they're busy but lots of people take to go as well. That being said, It's a good date spot or space for small talk and sharing food. Opens relatively late for a evening snack or dessert. The food is great and lives up to its name - fruity. My favourite are the curry fish balls and the fluffy cream toast though! read more

We were surprised that they only put the menu of bubble tea on the counter and put the menu of the desserts on the side and people might miss seeing it. Did they want people to order bubble tea and not the desserts? When we tried to get the menu of desserts, the two male servers asked us right away if we were to dine in or take out. Then one of them directed us to sit down immediately before I answered them. We told them that we would take out and the server gave me a disgusted face. Then he went back behind the counter. After we read the menu and tried to order, the male server ignored me when I tried to talk to him (he continued to look down at the counter). He was rude (they were mad that we did not dine in). He gave me the change back without saying 'thank you.' We ordered the Mango Sago Cream with Grapefruit and Mango Sago Cream. The food came quickly and the male server spoke unclearly about the spoon inside the take out bag. We were not sure if he was saying 'napkin' or 'spoon' because they sounded similar in Chinese. It turned out that he did not give us napkins which was unprofessional. They put frozen grapefruit in the Mango Sago Cream with Grapefruit and you could bite the iced grapefruit. Then they just put the same mixture for the Mango Sago Cream. The desserts were awful. They did not use mango chunks and coconut milk for the desserts. There was no cream in the desserts so the desserts were not sweet. They put basil seeds on top of the desserts to compensate for the lack of coconut milk/ cream. The desserts were not authentic - they looked different and they tasted different without the right ingredients. read more

The desserts here are yummy and the prices are good! I got here pretty late at 10ishhpm and the place was popping with people so I got takeout. Got the mango sago grapefruit dessert and tong yuan. Very reasonably priced and great for late night dessert will def be checking this place out again when I'm in the area!! read more

After dinner in the area, we headed over to Bubble Fruity to try some of their HK style desserts. It's located across the street from Newton Beef Noodle House. We dropped in on a Saturday evening (around 9:30pm). The place was packed! It's a hole in the wall with about 8 tables, some random Asian movie dramas playing in the background and service that will remind you of HK. The type where they're ready to take your order the second you sit down. The menu is simple consisting of two things: desserts and snacks. Sadly, they were sold out of their durian dumplings. Note: there's a minimum order of $5.50 per person. - Mango sago cream with grapefruit (F21) ($6.00) - the sago was light but had a pleasant texture. Grapefruit bits add a touch of sour tone; pomelo would be a better alternative. The mango flavour and texture was excellent. Would get this dish again. - Dumplings with wine (F13) ($5.50) - never had this dessert before but it's apparently very traditional. You can smell the fermented rice wine. On it's own, the soup is sweet (think they added honey pollen) and the balls are plain but eaten together, it's a tasty combination. I like how they also added actual rice grains for some subtle texture. - Black sesame dumplings (F12) ($6.50) - you get four dumplings. As someone put it, the black sesame filling flows out like lava. I love black sesame; this was easily my favourite dessert of the night. The ginger soup is subtle but the dumplings are fresh and have a great bouncy, chewy consistency. Cash only. Will definitely be back to BF for more HK desserts. read more

Reasonably priced place for desserts and snacks. Especially now that it's getting colder, this is a great option for some warm desserts. My favourite is their tofu dessert with black sesame paste. It doesn't look tasty, but it is and isn't very sweet at all. I was craving something savoury too and went with the rice rolls with mix sauce. It satisfied my cravings, but there was a bit too much sauce. My friend let me try some of her butter and condensed milk toast. Such a simple thing, but it was so good. A little bit salty, and sweet. It was a perfect bite. My friend ordered the grass jelly with sago cream and really enjoyed it. Overall, this is a good place to grab a quick dessert if you're in the area. read more

Excellent and lots of choices. Hardly can find great "Sweet in Heart" in other similar shops.

Bubble Fruity - cash only Durian sago cream $6.5 9/10 I would definitely get it again! Not too many places do durian but it's a favourite of mind. It's really smooth and not super creamy, more milky. However, it's super cheap and worth it! The sago is soft and chewy! Quite big pieces too. Can't make basil seeds look good but they are! read more

I'm on a strict eating plan to curb the onset of pre-diabetes so I was able to enjoy sugar-free fresh mango bubble tea with gulingao, fresh cold tofu no sugar while my homeslices got taro with proper fresh pearls and mango bubble tea no pearls.

While touring Vancouver my cousins and I tried multiple bubble tea spots. Of the drinks we order at different tea spots, we usually get one regular milk tea drink. This time around we ordered a milk tea drink and a strawberry milk tea drink. The milk tea here was not good. The tea flavor was very overpowering and was not enjoyable. However, the strawberry drink (which was a powder drink) was delicious! The consistency of the bubbles were decent. I would give this place another try if it's ever on my way, but I would steer clear of the regular milk tea. I wouldn't go out of my way to try this place. Review 27/100 for 2016 read more

Came here for some Honger-style desserts. Street parking here is free after 2100. Just a tip. This is a true mom and pop operation. He serves, while she makes the desserts. Even though I'm not a fan of Chinese-style desserts in general, the freshness of the ingredients cannot be disputed. I had the mango sago cream dessert. The mango puree was delicious. And this is from a guy who doesn't like eating mangoes. They mixed in a small amount of basil seeds, along with little tiny chunks of what I think was grapefruit. It was definitely not what I had expected, and I mean this in a pleasant way. On a side note, they won some HSBC "Best Dessert in Richmond" award recently. It's hung on a frame behind the front counter. If this type of dessert is your thing, be sure to check them out. read more

Love coming here for their traditional Cantonese style desserts (or sweet soups)! This is definitely a neighbourhood gem, a hole in the wall dessert place. Tonight I opted for their black sesame sweet soup and it was good! I like to have nutty soup hot in general, I find the flavour to be nicer and more aromatic. The texture was just right, not too thick or watery. Sesame flavour was very adequate without being too floury. It was very smooth too, I'd think they have sifted the sesame content enough for that. This place is great for late night, after dinner, or afternoon snack. Simple and good, nothing pretentious. Other personal favourites are durian sago, taro sago, walnut sweet soup, cashew sweet soup, and mango pomelo sago. Seatings are limited so be prepared to wait especially on the weekend, or you can opt to take out. read more

This is probably my favourite place in Vancouver for classic Hong Kong desserts. Most of the menu items here are in the $4-$5 range and are well portioned. They do require everybody to order at least one item I believe but that's quite easy since we normally order a few to share! My favourites here are the glutinous rice balls with black sesame paste filling and the mango pomelo sago mixture which are both staples in traditional Hong Kong dessert shops. The staff are friendly (to us) but I guess service here can be really a hit or miss since I have heard bad things as well. In general, they tend to take vacations or days off without much notice so I have come here several times when they were just closed with no reason. Prices are quite cheap though compared to eating dessert at somewhere fancier (and farther away) such as Thierry or even somewhere like cactus club so it's nice to have something cheap and delicious nearby! PS: If you want a hot soup dessert then I would definitely recommend the black sesame soup with tofu! read more

I had their hot walnut paste before and that was ok. But the issue is with the cold walnut paste, that was too sweet. It was so sweet that my throat stung at the end. I felt a bit sick from the over sweetness. I don't think this thing is healthy. It was pretty deadly, lethal. I don't think I will be coming back. or maybe if I do definitely having something else. read more

Came here to try dessert. I ordered the black sesame dumpling, four was definitely more than enough. They were gooey and full of black sesame paste. We also ordered the pan fried rice roll with sauces which was extremely tasty. We ended up ordering a second serving because it was that good. I highly recommend the pan fried rice roll! The only down side to this place is the addition of fresh fruit costs $10 which seems quite steep in my opinion. Also remember this place is cash only! read more

To my knowledge, Seattle doesn't have a single HK style dessert cafe! It was a difficult fact to accept, when SF has so many of them open until the wee hours of the morning. I never really frequented them too often (not really my type of crowd), but you never know what you have until it's gone. BF and I were running out of CAD and didn't want to get any more since we were returning home after dessert, so we decided on a $6 dessert to share. It had mango, grass jelly, basil seed, and sago. It was unexpectedly delicious!! I loved it and wish I could've had it all to myself, and that we had a couple more Canadian dollars to order a second one. However, it was really filling and I probably would not have been able to finish one on my own. I will definitely come back. read more

Authentic HK desserts! I love this little mom and pop store with so many tasty HK desserts. It's owner operated by a friendly Chinese couple. They used to sell their desserts at the Richmond night market. They serve a few snacks but I come here strictly for their wonderful desserts. The mango sago cream is one of their most popular desserts. The mango is fresh and flavourful but not overpowering. It has just enough sweetness. It's served with basil seeds on the top. That's one bowl of deliciousness! The green bean soup and black sesame paste also looked good. One of the few authentic homemade HK desserts in Richmond. Highly recommended if you are craving for Asian desserts. read more

I was enjoying some beef noodle soup across the street and noticed a decent number of people dining at this place. The foodie in me told me I had to stop by here after. We ordered a durian sago cream and a mango sago cream with grapefruit. Both ordered arrived shortly after we placed our order. It is like a soupy dessert and the sago adds some texture into the mix. The grapefruit was frozen. I wished it was pomelo (Chinese grapefruit) instead, but they did not have that as an option. The durian was creamy. No complaints there. These bowls of Chinese desserts are different from my usual go-to dessert options. The whole places smelled of durian which I did not mind as I love durian to start with. I think $5 or 6 dollars a bowl is alright. Cash only. read more

That instant you open the door and a giant whiff of sweet, delectable durian fills your nostrils into your lungs, you know this this place is THE place. For some, that might create a sense of unwanted fear, but to me, it's one of the best things on earth. Durian brings nothing for absolutely joy to my life, Craving fresh durian for the longest time, I finally was introduced to this cafe to fulfill my search. With a menu that makes my heart flutter and reminisce my childhood trips to Taiwan, I picked the durian sago with basil seeds immediately. I was going to indulge in a heaven like no other. With a bit of Canadian left and due to the cold breeze outdoors, I also ordered the sesame ball soup. My two orders might show others my deep love to indulge in sweets, but it's nothing less of a depraved soul wanting to have something good. The durian sago was immensely durian-esque with good size pieces of durian sitting atop the sago. The basil seeds added a texture of the old crackle candy that kids ate, but with less spasmic intention. I had forgotten what good durian tastes like. Having been brainwashed by the frozen American version, I was taken back by the slight tang it put on my tongue. After another bite, I felt like Ratatouille; I was having an epiphany of "KABOOMS" and "POW WOWS" in my mouth. Price wise, it is very cheap. All in all, this was the perfect dessert to end my day. read more

Traditional Cantonese desserts, delicious! Cash only and long line, but would go back again

We were really craving sago and despite the mixed reviews on Bubble Fruity we gave it a shot. We ordered the mango sago with grapefruit and the black sticky rice in coconut milk. The mango sago was decent, but grapefruit in the dessert was still frozen and not ripe (super sour). The black sticky rice was better, but we wished there was more rice, definitely not enough! Overall the food is alright, but $5 and change for a small bowl is not worth it in our opinion. We might come back, but not any time soon. read more

****BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY IN RICHMOND - IN NEED OF GOOD CHINESE DESSERT PLACE - PLEASE OPEN**** This is the header for my review, cause really, this used to be my 'go to'... like guaranteed satisfaction when I am looking for Chinese desserts. I had to look back at when I wrote my 5 star review... have things changed, and definitely not for the better. This place used to produce some damn freaking good dessert, on any given day there could be a pretty good line-up.. sometimes out the door. It still is this way sometimes when I come by, but after giving it two good tries recently I'm ripping this place for what it is. You couldn't keep the quality up to par, and also the prices have gone up... how does that work, I can understand if quality and quantity have gone up... but I'm paying more now for crappy dessert.... NO! I am a mango fanatic when it comes to Chinese sweets, after going through a few in Hong Kong on two seperate trips this year, and still craving it, this place popped back in my mind.. and why not after so many people, including myself have raved about this place. Coming in, don't expect much service, don't expect a place to take any form of plastic, and don't expect any pretty pictured menu with a ton of selection. There is seating here, and usually they are playing Fairchild Chinese TV in here. Parking, it's all paid as it is only street parking, no real big deal if you are here just for a quick pick up. Service, well you just order at the counter, it is even the case when you are sitting at a seat here, go up.. order. It seems like the last two times I was here the old couple seems to have been a little jaded... my opinion.. as there are no smiles, no asking how the food was, nothing - if the business is going good and reaping the rewards.... what needs to be changed? Quality.... I used to say this place had quality in the desserts, right to the freshness of the stuff being put in their stuff. The only fresh thing here now is that big watermelon I saw at the counter that was uncut... the mango sago dessert I had felt like canned overly sweet puree, barely any mango slices (actually none last time), the other time I ordered grass jelly and mango and they even cheaped out on the grass jelly, what does this stuff go for... under $1 a can? A few slices of mango (probably bought from the overly ripe isle of some supermarket clearing it out) and a whole lot of canned mango sauce (I won't even call it puree). As I said, it's nothing like what it was before. I had a try of my significant other's peanut 'sauce' dessert, and she added two black sesame rice balls, they chaged her $3 more... Three bucks? $1.50 each, wow times must be tough to charge this much. The rice balls, I must say the glutinous outside was perfect, not too gooey chewy, and not too thick.. then getting to the inside, get me a glass of water... I've never had black sesame paste this sweet... bring the glass of water so I could rinse my mouth. If anyone wants to make some money in Richmond, and can do any Chinese desserts with good quality, care, and taste, I guarantee you will make a killing. The extra star (the second) is the fact that you still have better Chinese desserts than most places in Richmond... and that is really a sad thing as isn't Richmond 'World' known for it's Chinese food...... read more

+.5 for service A Yelp search on dessert places near Shanghai River brought me here. I'm personally not too crazy on dessert after a large meal, but I figure it's a Vancouver thing to do since I was on vacation. This place was extremely busy when I went on a Friday night at 10pm, and I had to wait about 15 minutes for a table. I ordered the mango sago, which is roughly what I usually order in dessert places (mango pudding). It tasted quite good, although I've had better in places in my hometown of Markham. The prices were quite steep compared to what I normally get for dessert food (it was $5 for the mango sago). Service was great, as the employees were really working hard to cope with the demand of this place. I found the overall treatment to be very good and the employees treated the customers decently. Considering the huge praise for Asian food in Richmond, this was the best place that came up in the Golden Village area. If that was the best Richmond could offer, I would have to say the GTA has better dessert places. read more

My all time favourite at this Chinese dessert shop is the black sesame soup dumplings, very satisfying on chilly days. The soup is brewed from ginger and black sugar which is great for winter and those who want to warm up their tummy with something sweet. I only get take out from this place as it's too crammed and close together with other tables for my liking, but people who want the off the street hk vendor feel can come here. It's super basic, but I suppose some people might not mind it. Not my thing though so I give this place four stars. read more

This seems more like a small family business as there wasn't much of anything that stood out in particular. The place was very small in area with only about 5 small tables and even the menu had only about 15 or so items to choose from. The specialty of this place are the Chinese soupy desserts which vary from Black Sesame, Tapioca, peanut paste and other shaved ice offerings. I had gotten the black sesame since that is one of my favorites of all desserts and it was especially good with the added black sesame balls to boot. I thought that only giving 2 balls was not enough and that they should have given a couple more as they were not included on the menu and had to be ordered separately. Not sure if it was worth it, but good for a one time try. read more

I used to come here quite often but it's been a while. Tonight I brought some friends from England to try their desserts and we were disappointed. They misunderstood my order and made all our stuff to go when we didn't. They called our name for someone else's order and then kicked us out because they said our orders were to go and not eat in. When we checked our order and saw a mistake, they said we ordered it wrong. All the things I hate about customer service. And when we ate it at home, it was spicy! We had different people try it and they all said the sesame dumpling was spicy!! This is not how my dessert is supposed to be. Argh.. I will not be returning despite the fact that there aren't many Chinese dessert places. So sad. Bad service does drive away good customers. read more

OMG I love this place. I've been here twice in the last week. I crave Chinese dessert and to know that this place makes everything from scratch is heaven for my crazy chinese sweet tooth. A couple days ago, I came in for a hot sesame dessert soup, and today a hot walnut soup. The sesame was soooo thick and consistent throughout. I took it on the skytrain all the way home and heated it up. It was heavenly. Today I thought that my walnut soup was not as thick, but sure enough, it was made just right. Great consistency once again, with a beautiful sun tan colour. I tried to save half for tomorrow, but who was I kidding anyway. I still have to recommend sticking to the desserts... because getting a fresh fruit juice from here is going to hurt the wallet. dessert soups are $4, while fresh mango bubble tea is $6 and you can get the same thing at Dragon Ballz for a few dollars cheaper. This place is going to make me very fat. no joke. read more

I randomly stumbled upon Bubble Fruity during a recent trip to Vancouver. After having some of the most amazing black sesame paste, I knew I had to come back and try their other desserts. So on my last visit home, I came here two nights in a row to do exactly that! Inside is pretty small with a few 4-person tables. The dessert menu (http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/vRfWks-D_6vJrYcAzKBVwA?select=zBjgzXqIDrtUsW2YXqFTRg) isn't huge but has the standard black sesame, walnut, almond, peanut, and cashew pastes; grass jelly, sago, black sticky rice dishes; red and green bean soup, tofu pudding, as well as a few other items--all for $4 each. (A great deal since their servings are HUGE!) They also serve bubble tea and snacks (http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/vRfWks-D_6vJrYcAzKBVwA?select=OBaWqUu6M7PA-BBPo0hagQ) such as noodle soups and sandwiches, all for a very reasonable price of $2.5 - $4.5. I'm TOTALLY in love with their freshly ground pastes! You can tell, quite easily, that they grind their own black sesame/nuts and that none of them are made from mixes. They are all incredibly flavourful and taste EXACTLY like what they are made from (i.e. the cashew paste tastes like liquefied cashews). The consistency--thick & smooth--is always just right and they're not too sweet. Seriously, I can go on and on. My favourites are the BLACK SESAME PASTE (http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/vRfWks-D_6vJrYcAzKBVwA?select=mFjCV06eg7U07Z6ptjPK1w), WALNUT PASTE (http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/vRfWks-D_6vJrYcAzKBVwA?select=LVuZY0A_o2lNC-HyuFrbbg), and CASHEW PASTE (http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/vRfWks-D_6vJrYcAzKBVwA?select=KAMzt5VzCH3sK6qrQmQtPw). The ALMOND PASTE (http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/vRfWks-D_6vJrYcAzKBVwA?select=SUXtmAn_937cvmIRUVLm0Q), basically a thicker version of Chinese almond tea, was great too but I liked the other just a tad more. Another favourite was the BLACK STICKY RICE WITH COCONUT MILK (http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/vRfWks-D_6vJrYcAzKBVwA?select=UfeEomM_bM957NStLGJx5A). They get the texture/consistency and flavours just right. The very thick sticky rice was chewy yet kinda crunchy from the rice kernels. (I love how they pop in my mouth!) It had wonderful nutty and chocolatey flavours and the coconut milk added a nice touch of creaminess. The STICKY RICE BALLS (http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/vRfWks-D_6vJrYcAzKBVwA?select=NtFxmI610z_KCAAlNFXXPw, http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/vRfWks-D_6vJrYcAzKBVwA?select=MJCCGHc-2gKg9b5uxBps4Q) weren't quite as good but I appreciate that they make their own. The BLACK SESAME (http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/vRfWks-D_6vJrYcAzKBVwA?select=AVd0i82zGrpwSK9e8En5lw) and PEANUT (http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/vRfWks-D_6vJrYcAzKBVwA?select=_DbxyiJghq_RIa3tiNlf-Q) ones were decent but the fillings were a little sweet for me. I didn't like the DURIAN (http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/vRfWks-D_6vJrYcAzKBVwA?select=7rEIW4mWGtFfYJ5zoZq5bw) rice balls at all because they were so bland. Not sure if the durian itself wasn't good or if cooking it killed the flavour--either way, they weren't good. I also had two of their MANGO SAGO desserts. The first was the mango with sago, black barley (?), and grass jelly (http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/vRfWks-D_6vJrYcAzKBVwA?select=9J3eZnVY9aTGfW2EXNqcmA) and the second was mango sago with grapefruit (http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/vRfWks-D_6vJrYcAzKBVwA?select=zup4qX9yQ7QAtCq_HmBLEA). Both were very refreshing and quite tasty but the latter had barely any mango or grapefruit. Oh yeah, they also serve really good tea--fragrant with some floral notes. I liked it so much I even asked them where they get it from so I could make my own at home! read more

When you walk in, it reeks or pleasantly smells of durian. Which one it is, depends on the person. No comment. This place is always busy and packed. I've been here twice now and the desserts are good. I like tapioca and cream.. coconut milk or whatever it is. It's yummy. This 2nd time I went, I tried the Mango Sago with Grapefruit because my friend said it was the dish that you had to get if they had it. I listened. And it was okay - I don't love mango flavored things (not all Asians do, okay?) and the grapefruit was slightly frozen. I'm sure some people love this, but I preferred the taro sago I had the first time I went. OH and the best part is, after reading reviews before going the 2nd time, I read a tip to ask for fresh mango chunks or you'll just get puree. WELL we asked. And they said, "if you want it, it's $10 extra." And we said.... "for all 3 of us?" (obviously right, a $10 mango is already ridiculous??) And they said.... "No, $10 each." A $30 MANGO! Golden. I will go back. But not listen to what anyone tells me. I'd give it 3.5. read more
