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

sesame balls in ginger soup 3/5 the balls had a nice chewy texture, i thought the filling was too sweet and soup was incredibly sweet as well. mango sago with grapefruit 3/5 pretty much a mango smoothie mixed with sago topped with grapefruit. not sure how much real mango was in the fruit overall our bill came out to under 11 dollars. might be back if i'm in the area. there is also a great beef noodle soup restaurant across the street read more

Thank you for existing! Please bring your business to Seattle! Wide variety of Chinese style deserts. Don't expect cakes or tarts. This place mainly serves hot or cold deserts soups. I've tried the durian sago, mango sago and the black sesame dumpling in black sesame soup. All were very good. The mango sago was particularly refreshing. Made well with good ingredients. I always try to make it here while visiting BC. It is also nice that they are open late. The shop is a little small and might contain a lot of young teeny bopper customers. Don't let that discourage you! read more

I saw this reviewed on the front page of Yelp on September 3rd and decided to book mark it for future reference. I really had high hopes for this place especially considering how some Yelpers whose other reviews I enjoy heavily praised this place. For starters it is a small place. It's a bit of a hole in the wall. Normally I don't mind hole in the wall places but turned me off was that there was a nauseating smell. I've been to a lot of HK style cafes and familiar with the smells but this was bad like something had died. I tried to order but the smell just overwhelmed me too much that I just had to leave. They're really close to the train station and I am willing to give them another chance in a few days. This may be on off day something beyond their control. On a side note their menu is extensive, however, the majority of their desserts are nut based puddings. Very dirt cheap prices. read more

+absolutely lovee the mango sago from here +bigger portion than average compared to other chinese dessert places -could be a long wait on Friday nights and weekends read more

The black sesame dumplings and black sesame paste were the highlights of my meal at Bubble Fruity. The restaurant's food and atmosphere reminded me of the special occasions and Chinese holidays where my mom and grandma would make the same desserts for us to eat. If you're a fan of sweets, the fluffy toast is also quite delicious. Overall, this is a great restaurant with delicious and reasonably priced desserts! read more

Sometimes after consuming too many cakes and cookies I feel that my taste buds requires me to touch base with my Eastern heritage with some Chinese desserts... Sadly there isn't an abundance of dessert places in Vancouver (even Richmond) that features traditional dessert soups, puddings, and dumplings... With the few that are available not everyone does it right... Luckily, Bubble Fruity came to the rescue... Situated on Saba Road, just off from Richmond Centre Bubble Fruity brings nostalgic childhood memories... The shop is brightly colored in green and orange. A simple hideout without a lot of fuss... This "mom and pop" shop has magazines, big screen TV, and bubble tea available for you to gather... Their dessert menu has quite a bit of variety. From your basic Coconut Sago Soup , Mango Sago Cream , to Almond , Sesame Paste Soup ... to Dumplings with Wine ... The portions are hefty and soups are not watery (some places water it down to save a few bucks, but certainly doesn't keep loyal customers). Aside from sweets, there are also savory snacks - pork cutlet noodles, sandwiches, and thick toasts. Something for everyone! Even if you don't have a sweet tooth! Fresh Mango, sago and grass jelly (extra mango) + Fresh Philippine mangoes are delightful and sweet. Sago cooked perfectly and paired intimately with grassjelly (aka Herbal Jelly ) FTW (for the win)! TIP: Always ask for extra mangoes... delish! Black sticky rice with coconut milk Black glutinous rice warms the heart and the coconut milk balances out an otherwise filling soup. If you ever have a chance to come here , be sure to also try the Mango Sago Cream ! Wish I had taken a picture for you, but every time I come here, I simply devour it like no tomorrow! Opps =) read more

Maybe put some pieces of durians in the Dessert. Great place to hang out for good price good dessert.

It's authentic Hong Kong style dessert with good quality and decent price. Since the shop is small, it could be a long wait for seating. Take out is preferable. read more

Simple, small dessert cafe. Came in with my family during a trip to Vancouver, and we all ordered different items, ranging from durian sago to green bean soup to sweet soft tofu. It was all pretty good actually and reasonably priced. The durian was a solid flavor but not crazy overpowering. The mango sago was really good, and the soft tofu was pretty standard as well. Service was prompt and quick. It's a really simple system - pick a seat, grab some menus, order, pay when you're done. Good for small groups to come and hang out a bit. A good option if you need to satisfy your sweet tooth. read more

Friendly service and Excellent Excellent Chinese Style dessert!!! Anything Mango here is great! Do remember to request fresh Mango chunks when you order Mango Sago, otherwise, you will only get a very rich Mango soup with tapioca. I also tried Black Sesame soup, but it was a bit too sweet to my taste. However, the texture of the soup was great. I will definitely come back next time I travel here. read more

One truly amazing HongKong style dessert you cannot miss in Richmond. By far the best and the most authentic HK style dessert you can ever find in lower mainland :) 4/5 read more

This place is at a right location with nice feel of Downtown Richmond but it's not an extraordinary bubble tea shop. Also, I they don't server any ice cream bubble tea and the food is OK. If your looking to hookup with SUPER RICH KIDS of Richmond this is a to go place in late afternoon or a hot sunny day. Who know you end up with your life partner here, who will be paying your bills for LIFE. read more

My boyfriend and I came here after dinner. Bubble Fruity is a small cafe that has about (maybe) 8 tables? There was a line up out the door when we arrived but most of the customers were waiting for larger tables so we were seated fairly quickly. We were given a two sided menu (a shorter savoury menu on one side and a more extended sweets menu on the other side). There were too many yummy options to choose from however my boyfriend and I decided to go with the black sticky rice in coconut milk (hot) and the durian dumplings. We were SUPER pleased by the quality of the desserts (you could definitely tell that the "dumplings" -poor English translation, were hand made, super soft and stretchy (?)). The durian flavour was rich (and it was fresh durian inside, not a durian paste). The black sesame rice was equally good!! And we managed to finish all of it before the durian dumplings came out since they took a little longer to make. Overall, we were very satisfied with the desserts and would definitely recommend and come again! read more

I had high hopes for this place but it was crowded, overpriced for what you get, and the service was terrible. I agree with some of the reviewers on here that mango syrup they use taste like it came from a can. Overall it was not a good experience and I will not be returning. read more

Personally, I prefer Chines style desserts. Bubble Fruity makes fresh, and deliciouse desserts, and they charge at a realonable price too. Their Black sesame paste is my favorite, really thick, not too sweet. read more

Overpriced for how simple and subpar in taste the desserts were. The mango pomelo dessert tasted like mango nectar straight from a can. The durian sticky rice ball was a measly 4 rice ball that was in this diabetic-inducing sweet syrup. I kept thinking there's a great market opportunity in Vancouver for Asian dessert shops. The unsatisfying dessert made me miss the Phoenix dessert chain in Los Angeles. read more

During the day, this place is closed and opens sometime in the late afternoon. Everytime I bike by, i wonder how this place stays in business. Now I know, after going late on a Friday night, just how packed this place gets and the wide range of ages in the customers. Most bubble tea cafes skew relatively young in their clientele. Bubble Fruity gets quite a number of both young and older customers. There aren't really a lot of places in the Lower Mainland that serve this kind of chinese dessert. It's basically cold tapioca (aka sago) porridge with different flavors like mango, taro, red beans, and other traditional chinese dessert ingredients. The bubble tea is not bad. Everything seems to be made from scratch and fresh. No powder mixes here. The menu is just one page, but there's quite a number of dishes available. Most people just ordered the sago desserts. If you're into this kind of dessert, you definitely should try to visit some time. Just be aware that the place gets pretty crowded on weekend evenings. However, the majority of good restaurants in Richmond get pretty full on weekend evenings. read more

Got the mango sago, and it's so good! It's a hole in the wall that's in city centre and is open late! read more

AUTHENTIC Cantonese dessert!!! We had tofu pudding, red bean soup, durian something, black sesame soup etc. they were all so delicious! Definitely coming back to this dessert place. We've tried other desserts but this is by far the best so far. read more

Good for sitting down and relaxing, the owners are pretty chill Desserts are mostly $5. You have to pay extra if you want to throw in some ice cream, rice ball, etc etc read more

I just love their Black Sesame soup here.. so creamy, nutty and nice consistency! I have also tried their walnut soup but it is just okay.. Service wise, it is just mediocre.. a typical mom and pop shop. Their mango desserts are just okay.. still prefer Cheery or Cherry's at Parker Place...cheaper too! read more

Great dessert place, family business with friendly staff. My favourite item to order is the Mango Pomelo Sago.

This place was crowded on a Friday night. We ordered the Mango Sago with cream and grapefruit. It's pretty good but I find it overpriced for $5.00. I'll have to figure out what the locals are ordering, and when I return, I will update this review and probably add an extra star or two for my rating. I'm only giving it 3 stars tonight since I wasn't overly impressed with the dessert I ordered, but there must be other better desserts here because the place was packed and very popular! The owner or manager is a nice elderly man. Much respect to him for keeping up with orders from a bunch of loud teens to 20-somethings. Not my type of crowd on a Friday night since there's a bunch of obnoxious teens or college kids outside smoking, but the place is very quiet and pleasant in the daytime for lunch. read more

Bubble Fruity - Mango sago with cream and grapefruit - Desserts Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

I was told this place has the best mango sago but I ended up ordering the durian dumpling for take out. That was probably a mistake because 20 mins later, the dough expanded and it did not taste good. There also wasn't much durian filling so all I had in my mouth was dough. At $6.25 for 4 dumplings, it was a bit steep imo. read more

Sooo poor service差勁,... we are from California first time Yelp here...order tofu fai with black sesame paste n one with walnut paste, they didn't show price in menu . It's $8.50 each. We add sesame glut. ball in separate bowl n the man said can't cos they'll stick together. So we get another order but seems no problem of sticking . 3 orders are a rip off of total $24.50...to go as no seating at that time. But the guys said need to wait for 15 min for sesame glut. ball. So we just thought since we are waiting, might as well eat in instead of take out. The man at the counter is so rude saying we'll mess up their order. How hard is it to change...the sesame balls are terribly sweet...won't come again n not recommended to anyone搵笨 read more

My family and I came here last night to grab a quick bite before heading out to the night market because a friend who was with us suggested we go here. This was probably the worst place we went to all day. The old man behind the counter (I'm assuming he was the owner?) shot us dirty looks after he found out we couldn't speak Chinese. There's no sign saying that you can't bring in outside food but as my friend started eating her bakery goods from elsewhere, he immediately told her to go outside because they don't want that here. Okay? You could've been nicer about it. My brother in law ordered for us in Chinese because we figured the old man probably hated our guts already. We came in as a group of five, and like I said we were only in here for a quick bite so we wanted to share... Right after we ordered, the man said there was a minimum order of $10 per 2 people and if we didn't meet that, we would have to take our order to go. What bullshit is that? Where is that written anywhere? I would have not given that guy any of my money but we ordered it a durian sago and some sticky rice dessert. The durian was okay but my appetite was ruined because of the customer service. The sticky rice dessert was bland and just.. Not good. Shoutout to the old man for being such an asshole. I would definitely give this place zero stars if I could. Never coming to this place again. Oh and one more thing, I caught a waitress picking her butt as she was serving up food to some customers. Come on, have some freakin' manners. Absolutely disgusting. Bubble Fruity, you were extremely disappointing. read more

I've been here many times. The food tastes good, dont get me wrong. However.. They increased their prices on the menu. Fresh mango use to be approx. $6, now its $10 to add fresh mango to your dessert. Same goes for the durian. It use to be approx $6, now it's $8. I usually order mango sago with fresh fruit mango, but I can't justify paying an additional $10 just to add mango to my dessert. read more

This dessert cafe is OVER PRICED for what you get and the service is quite RUDE. We had dinner nearby so I thought I drop in and check out their desserts. One bowl of black sesame seed paste soup is $5.25 which is acceptable, but not cheap. I asked if they had any glutinous rice balls that can go in and the older lady behind the counter (an owner?) was very arrogant and said, "of course we can, you just have to pay for it". Of course, I was prepared to pay an addition to the $5.25 but for 10 very little glutinous balls, I was charged an additional $3.75. So for one bowl of the sesame soup and 10 of these small glutinous rice balls, it came to $9.00!!!!! I can see an additional $1.50 or even $2.00 but for $3.75 I would have been better off ordering another bowl of those rice balls at $5.25. The dessert was good but it did not WOW me! Just to think our minimum wage here is $10.45 so to charge $9.00 for just that one bowl of dessert is GREED by the restaurant. It is such POOR VALUE!!! If you want to be ripped off like I was, then visit Bubble Fruity! read more

I have an extremely bad experience when I have my dessert in the shop. I go there on a Satursday night, there still a few table available when I get in. After half an hour, when we still taking our dessert and some clients came in. Shop owner and 2 customers kept looking at our table and one of them even come to my table and starred at our bowl to see whether we finished everything. After a minute, owner dragged the bill to our table & asked whether we are ready to go. We still taking another bowl of dessert at that time. I order , mango super sour, grapefruit super sour, milk is no taste (not sweet at all), a lot of ice... I won't go next time as it is too bad on everything ! read more

Best Asian dessert place in town! Love the durian sago with fresh slices of durian on top - not for everyone though. All the other Asian dessert there is amaze-balls! There is usually a wait if you want to sit in and eat but I'm willing to drive down to Richmond just to pick it up and enjoy it at home. Must go place :) read more

I come here about once a month to get my fill of the black sesame balls, they are so gooey and delicious! The desserts have a home made feel, but the service and ambience are what you would expect of a typical small time shop in Hong Kong, self serve and simple for the most part. Come here for good food but don't expect to be pampered. It suited me just fine since their deserts satisfy my monthly cravings! read more

Oh Bubble Fruity how I am so torn about you. Why am I torn? I love (certain) Chinese style desserts. Black sesame paste? Check! Mango Saigo with tapioca? Check! Insane line ups and chaotic environment that reminds me of Hong Kong? Check! It was literally a mass of people when we went after dinner for this cash only place. We ordered the above as well and the almond paste, and it was totally mix of reviews. The 2 pastes were very sub par. In fact the almond paste was more of watery almond mix versus a thick soup. I was very disappointed in it. The black sesame paste wasn't sweet at all... although in all fairness i could have added sugar, I like it come out how I want! The mango saigo? Now that... that was refreshing. And totally hit the spot. The mango provides the flavour while the tapico provides a nice texture. I'd go back for that one and that one alone read more

I should not rate 1 star for this restaurant, its supposed to have -10 stars. Seriously, the service is f* terrible, unacceptable!! The old man is the boss, but he is rude to his customers, of cousre his staffs are too. The food isnt even good. BAD FOOD BAD SERVICE! read more

Came here for dessert my first night in vancouver after stuffing myself at the Richmond Night market. I ordered the mango sago with fresh mangoes - the extra $ was soooo worth it cos the mango was soo ripe and sweet. The tofu fa was pretty good and so was the taro sago (hot and cold were good choices). Will definitely be back the next time I'm in town. Need to the the black sesame paste that everyone raves about and durian dishes :) read more

this place is simple, cheap, and GOOD. Everything i tried there i've been satisfied! This place to me is really the "hong kong" style and i love it :) read more

After seeing this place has 4 stars and good looking pictures, my friend and I decided to try it out. However when we got here, parking is on the streets. It was a hassle, especially because we had to pay for meters.. We do not live in Richmond, not from Canada. It was a definitely bad thing, especially having to pay for meters at 7:30. In addition when our orders came out, it was nothing like what we saw on the internet. A friend ordered the mango sago, as he describes it: "I didn't know I ordered mango soup in a bowl." It was disappointing indeed.. read more

Where have you been my entire life, Bubble Fruity?!?! If you're craving for Cantonese style desserts, this is the place! This is particularly the place for durian lovers. They have the durian sago dessert, which is served with a thick, creamy puree (that tastes like durian) mixed with sago. Be sure to pay extra and add the durian fruit in the dessert (I don't the standard one comes with pieces of durian)! For something more light and refreshing, definitely go with the mango sago with grapefruit ("yeung tzi gum loe") and also have them add mango in it! It is so good, my goodness! I love how it's so fruity and not sickly sweet at all! Only downside is that they're cash only and they get packed quite easily, so there'll be a bit of a wait. read more

Awesome! It's one of those dessert options you'd wonder what mixes they blend that makes you wanna have another one. Not only do they serve Bubble tea, the best dessert to order here is their cream sago topped with fresh fruits. They also have hot dessert like "taho" (Filipino), best of all they got my favorite fruit... Durian! Tons of teenagers & the owners/employees are humble and polite, you'd feel welcome even if your first language is English. read more

Good desserts! My fave is the black sesame paste with sesame balls (+$3 add on). Totally worth it. Place is small, like the reviews say, but I come for takeout. read more
