Car's Dessert is a hidden gem for mochi lovers! This small takeout shop delivers big on quality and care. We tried the combo pack with Durian, Purple Yam, Chestnut, and Mango, and every bite was delightful. The mochi wrapping is impressively thin, with a pillowy texture that makes each piece melt in your mouth. While I usually gravitate toward durian, the Chestnut and Purple Yam stole the show. You can really taste the effort and pride in the chestnut puree--it's smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced. The staff are warm, friendly, and clearly proud of their craft, which adds to the charm of the experience. This is absolutely one of those places worth lining up for. If you're in the mood for artisanal mochi that's made with care, Car's Dessert should be at the top of your list. read more

Very tasty mango sago and mango mochi. The sago is really creamy, to the point that it has the mouthfeel of liquid ice cream, with extra bits in it. The mango mochi also leans heavily on the cream and is definitely not a health food. If you like durian, the durian mochi is also great. Personally, I really liked the yam mochi and thought the chestnut mochi was pretty good, but most people seem to find those only ok. This place sells out on busy days, so come early if you want any of their popular items. read more

finally made it to the new location of car's dessert and it's quite the upgrade from their old spot in the food court at pacific plaza. they're now on number 3 road, just around from aberdeen and next to the canada line station, with a small but bright storefront that feels a lot more like a dedicated dessert shop. take out only though, so don't expect to sit down and linger. car's is known for hong kong style desserts, especially their mango cream mochi and baked sago pudding. they even picked up a critic's choice award in 2024 for the fresh mango and cream mochi. i grabbed the holiday combo, a box of four mango mochis for $14.95, which comes with a little sticker, best before: same day, as it's made fresh daily. individual mochis require a minimum purchase of two. inside each mochi are generous chunks of ripe mango and lightly sweetened cream, all wrapped in a smooth, soft, stretchy mochi skin. the texture is super tender and delicate, and the mango really carries the flavour, juicy, fragrant, and not overly sweet. deceptively easy to make with only a few ingredients, i've tried my hand at making mochis, and suffice to say, i will be leaving it to the professionals. a friend told me the name car's is actually short for carson, the owner's son, which makes the name feel a bit more personal. note: there's a 2.5% surcharge for credit cards and 4% for international credit or debit cards and where applicable, an additional 1.5% transaction fee, best to bring cash if you can. still one of the best spots around for mango mochi if you're in the richmond area. read more

Went in the morning want to ensure Mochis are available. Had 6 of each of the mango + durian ones. Mango ones are in chunks sooo good; durian is creamier smoother mixed with cream. Enjoyed both! Also had a tapioca custard pie, followed directions but it took twice the recommended time to bake so please beware. Very tasty. read more

I was told to come for some incredible mochi. It is a Small store in a plaza with parking. More of a grab and go type of place. Mochis came in a variety of flavors so it was hard to pick. It was nice that they had prepacked assortments that helped you maximize on tasting all the flavors. They prefer cash or debit but can accept credit as well. I got to try the mango, durian, chestnut and sweet potato mochi. The mochi skin was so incredibly soft and delicate, it is such a contrast to store bought mochi where you're just chewing through the skin and have very little filling. My favorite was the mango but to be honest, everything else was pretty tasty too. A great at snack if you're ever in the area. read more

If you followed the mango mochi hype a few years back, you know this spot was one of the contenders. My family and I specifically come for the mango mochi, and when we have visitors in town, we also bring them here for dessert. It's a hit for any house party. The mochi skin is nice and thin and their mangoes are sweet and juicy even if it's not mango season. Recently also got to tried the other assorted flavours like purple yam and chestnut. The purple yam would be my second flavour if I had to rank it, although the taste isn't as fragrant as I would like. The chestnut has chunks of chestnut but I prefer the chestnut cakes in Chinese bakeries as those were more thoroughly blended. Their star mango mochi does have whipped cream inside though as a filler. Appreciate that the new location is even closer to transit now; super convenient to grab a pack and be on your way. read more

02.12.26 @ 1:15pm Came just to try the mochi Durian & Mango. The mochi is really thin, soft like a snow and the filling mango was sweet and the durian was good. Gonna go back and get more since I'm still near by. I favorite the Durian more. read more

Came here to try their famous mochis and they did not disappoint. The skin was super thin and had the perfect chewy texture. I got the mango and the chestnut and liked the mango more because it was less heavy. Also got their black sesame sago pie and that was delectable as well. I really appreciated the friendly server who took his time to explain to us the preparation instructions and ideal storage conditions for the mochis and the sago pie. It's recommended to reheat the pie in an oven but, since we're tourists and didn't have easy access to an oven, we had to make do with a microwave and the end result was good as well. Mochis are recommended to be eaten within hours after purchase. Loved the HK-ness of this place. Communication done completely in Cantonese with awesome Cantopop songs playing in the background and Cantonese words and phrases posted all over the walls. LOVE!! read more

$$ CASH ONLY $$ Visiting Vancouver and asked some friends what are their recommendations in the Richmond area. Car's Dessert came highly recommended for its Mango Mochi. There are limited parking in its plaza, but I was able to find a spot fairly quickly. It is a cute store for To-Go only. No dine-in option available. The line was also relatively short when it opened in the morning and I was able to get my hands on my Mango Mochi. I would highly recommend eating the Mango Mochi as soon as possible as its skin is thin and soft. Make sure you keep them refrigerated if you are not planning to consume them immediately. Any reason that I loved their Mango Mochi is that it is made with real mangos. Not sure how their other desserts are, but everything looked good. Slightly pricey, but it is worth paying a little and treating yourself from time to time. read more

Their mochi is so good! After dinner, I was feeling quite full, but I stumbled upon this desserts place while exploring the area. It's a cute little shop with Hong Kong signs adorning its walls. The decor is simple yet charming and inviting. I ordered their combo mochi, which includes two durian and two mango. The ingredients were fresh and flavorful, and the mochi was simply delicious. The price is quite reasonable, around $16 CAD after taxes. I highly recommend visiting this place; the staff is very helpful and friendly. read more

Car's Dessert - Half durian half mango! - Desserts Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

TLDR: Mango Mochi. Black Sesame Pot pie? I like restaurants (or bakeries or dessert shops) which have a limited menu. In general, that means more care is taken to make SURE the food tastes excellent! This place is very small, on the corner of the strip mall. It has a small lineup of puddings, mochi, and dessert pies. Their mochi are SO DELICIOUS! I had a mango mochi, and I was expecting a mochi with some kinda mango filling. But no, the filling is actually Mango FRUIT in there! That was so unexpected and instantly it's the best mango mochi I've ever had. On top of that, the mochi skin is thin, stretchy, and yet strong enough not to leak. It's PERFECTLY made. I also got a black sesame pie. Even though I bought it a couple days earlier, when I bit into it, it was STILL EXCELLENT. The crust is flaky... reminds me a little bit of the flakiness from a boloh bao. And there is tapioca and black sesame inside. It was SO GOOD! The puddings are ok. They aren't bad either, but they aren't as extraordinary as either the pie or mochi. The mochi is THE BEST I've ever had (even better than ones I got in Japan!), and the Black Sesame pie is worth the flight alone. This place is EASILY 5 stars. When I travel back to Vancouver, this is definitely a must-visit! read more

This is truly the 'go-to' gold star standard for Cantonese cold desserts, and for their limited amount of selection, it is still justified how good it is. I remember not to long ago when I use to visit this place in the Pacific Plaza food court on the second floor, a little food court stall in the corner, and now they have an actual store front right behind Aberdeen skytrain. I love the care and quality of all their products, which include their freshly made mochi... yes.. freshly made, like made to order, whether you want durian, mango, chestnut, or ube.... when you order, that is when it is made, and this place makes the best in the city... I've made some family members think twice at dim sum when they are in Richmond and would forgo ordering it there, and drive over here to fill their dessert void.... While you are waiting for your order you can read the history of the man behind the desserts, and also the reason for the name of the shop, it is quite nice. Also there is another menu, and that is written in Chinese near the cashier, these are the specials that are usually seasonal, and are worth a try, but if your are a traditionalist... stick with their mochi's, mango pomelo sago cold soup desserts, and also their baked pies. Since now they are in a plaza right behind the skytrain, there are a few parking stalls, just be warned this plaza can get a little tight, and don't be shocked if you show up past 5pm and they have a sign saying their mochi is sold out.... cause it can be sold out. I look forward to go again to get their newer products, like the black sesame rolls which are done very well! read more

Car's Dessert - Mochi Combination - Desserts Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

As I was going through the list of places on Yelp, car's dessert caught my eyes. It's located in a small plaza with a few parking spots. I came in the afternoon and luckily they still have the combo mochi. There's 4 flavors: durian, mango, chestnut, ube. I think the durian one definitely stood out. The flavor is quite strong. The mochi is very thin yet soft. I'm not sure how they did it but there's a good amount of filling inside. The service is quick since everything is premade, there's a small wait but mostly waiting for others to pay or decide what to get. Now I know where I'll go to stop by for dessert if I'm ever in the area again read more

The shop was very busy but the staff was very efficient. We lined up for less than 10 minutes with around 10 people in front of us. The place is a takeaway only shop, but still very well decorated. The owner was passionate with their products, and would love every customer to have the best experience with their desserts. She taught us how to store the desserts if we were not consuming them immediately. We tried their durian mochi and mango pomelo sago cream. The filling of the mochi is durian blended with cream, and is very rich, creamy and smooth. The mochi skin is of the right consistency - chewy yet soft. The mango pomelo sago cream was tasty too! With quite some mango chunks. read more

love the durian mochi! wish the mango one didn't have cream in it, but that's personal preference. nice, not-too-sweet treat and great for a party. would not recommend eating two before dinner haha. came on a thursday afternoon and thankfully they still had some available. need to try their baked tapioca pudding next time. read more

Tucked away in a tiny shop in Richmond, Car's Dessert is home to probably the best dessert I have ever had. They serve a variety of mochi and other desserts, but not just typical mochi. This was the freshest mochi ever, and the fresh fruit and cream inside was simply phenomenal. The cashier was patient as we deliberated over what to order. They're cash-preferred! read more

How can it be so good, genuinely. The durian was so creamy and fresh and delicious, I'm a little confused. The mango was also so sweet and juicy; how come I can't find these mangoes?

Great dessert! Always come back when I am in Vancouver! Best mango mochi in town, my kids can finish the whole box before we reach the car!

Located in Pacific Plaza and tucked away in the corner of the food court is Car's Dessert! They're mainly known for their mochi, but I was very intrigued with their baked sago, as not many places sell it. Unfortunately it was all sold out by the time I got there (~4:30pm), so I settled for their box combo of 1 each of their signature mochi. I really enjoyed the mango and durian. Mango was sweet enough and the cream definitely added to it as well. The durian was super creamy, fragrant, and filled to the brim. If you like durian, you'll love this mochi! Purple yam and chestnut were good, but nothing special. I found that the purple yam was too heavy on the stomach and quite hard to eat after a bit. Chestnut was creamy with a bit of texture for bite. The mochi skin was not as chewy or thin as I thought it could be, could have been better (but definitely still top-tier) if I am nitpicking. I would definitely go back for their baked sago! Not too expensive either. Remember to bring cash though as they are CASH ONLY. read more

A decent spot in Richmond for mochi! I wanted to get the mango mochi at riceholic but of course they were already sold out and had no more walk in mochis available ... I was still craving mochi dessert so decided to stop by Car's Dessert. It's a few minutes walk away so I made my over quite quickly. It's upstairs in the food court and tucked away in the corner. I decided to get the two durian mochi and two mango mochi for $12.50. On the pricier side for its size. However it was still very satisfying. The mango mochi was just ok - was expecting more mango pieces and it was filled with cream as well. The durian mochi was my favorite - loved the creamy durian texture and flavor. read more

If you're not, you might want to try their other flavors, like mango, purple yam or chestnut. read more

This little GEM is hidden inside a strip mall near the food court and have the BESTT fresh mango mochi! Cash only and limited quantities so come early and be prepared! We were lucky enough to snag the very last box available of the fresh mochi. I spoke to the owner and advised that we were visiting from Seattle and had heard so much about their mochis and wanted to try. She said she was sold out initially, but then when she checked the back she said she had 1 preorder box that was never picked up and offered it to us! It was sooo good, it had 3 mango mochi's and 1 chestnut! We got so lucky and the owner was so kind! Love the variety, hope to be able to try the durian next time we visit. The mango was so fresh and the mochi was very soft! Definitely need to be refrigerated if you don't consume right away bc of the cream. Honestly, we ate these on our drive back to Seattle. They didnt stand chance! We are visiting again this weekend, so I'm hoping I can snag a box or 2 of my favorite mochis :) I would love to bring some back for my family if possible! read more

$$$ CASH ONLY $$$ Cars dessert is a well known dessert spot in the Richmond area even though it's located in a food court of a low key strip mall where you wouldn't expect such a place. I think they are most known for their mochi and mango desserts. I went late in the afternoon and they were so sold out of most their stuff and so I only got to try the mango dessert. Definitely recommend going around when they open to try the best stuff. Food My group tried the black sesame baked tapioca, mango pudding, and another one I don't know the name for unfortunately. The mango pudding was my favorite of the 3 though and would recommend. The mango pudding was not very sweet actually and had a good mango flavor to it. All the desserts actually were not that sweet. The black sesame pie was interesting since I have not had a dessert like that before. Hopefully next time I can try the mochi and see what the hype is all about! Atmosphere The store is located inside the food court of a strip mall on the second floor. It can be a little challenging to find if it's your first time but make sure to locate the food court! Look towards the large window and there you will see Cars dessert. Casual and laid back atmosphere with people talking all around. Pricing Prices were reasonable and worth the price. Not too expensive for a dessert. Service The staff was helpful and nice. Food came out as soon as possible since the baked pie required heating (~15 minutes). Other read more

DON'T HESITATE, GO TRY IT NOW! (and don't forget to bring cash) Got to try the four types of mochi and they were all delish! The mochi skin was so soft and sticky. There's just enough cream to melt all the flavors together but not so much that it overpowers everything else. None of them were sweet which I love. The purple yam and chestnut ones were good and worth a try, but I'd probably only get the mango and durian ones in the future. My favorite is definitely the durian one; it is FILLED with fruit and is the perfect texture balance. There was a huge line when we went but it was definitely worth the wait. Items are reasonably priced. Can't wait to go back and try their other desserts! read more

Soft and Silky Mochi Tucked away in the corner of Pacific Plaza food court is Car's Dessert They are known for their Chinese desserts like Baked Sago Pudding and Mochi Their mochi are made to order so it's super fresh The mochi: Mochi menu - 4 flavors with durian, fresh mango, purple yam, and chestnut filling The mochi wrapper (skin) is quite thin, stretchy and silky soft, which is different from Japanese mochi. I got the Mochi filled with Durian and filled with fresh mango. Both were so tasty and soft like clouds in my mouth. Each piece is not really for sharing Menu: I placed an order for 2 boxes of mochi and the wait was around 20min. Pricing: (per piece) Durian Mochi - 3.25 Fresh Mango with cream - 2.75 Purple Yam - 2.75 Chestnut: 2.75 On the weekends, they only offer mochi in boxes of 4. Their 'weekend' menu is in Chinese so it's tough for those who can't read Chinese $12 for box of 4 pieces of Durian mochi, $11 for Fresh mango mochi Protip: They don't pick up calls so just head there to place your order Please don't eat this the next day, the mochi skin will not be smooth and soft I would definitely make another trip here to try the baked sago pudding and other flavors of mochi read more

We came on a Sunday around 1pm. There were a couple of people in line but we got ours pretty fast. We got 2 mango mochis, a taro mochi and a purple sweet potato mochi. The best mochis were the purple sweet potato and taro mochi. They had a lot of flavour where as the mango tasted kind of faint. The mochis are really soft and not overly sweet. We also had the milk pudding. This was disappointing as it wasn't as smooth as I was anticipating. Good thing was that it wasn't overly sweet. We also had the baked sago (lava flavour) which was somewhat disappointing. The top was really crispy which I liked but the inside was overly watery and could have done with more egg yolk flavour. It just tasted like regular baked sago. Overall I would recommend getting the purple sweet potato mochi and the taro mochi. The prices are definitely on the higher side but worth trying once. The lady taking orders is super nice and patient. She explains everything nicely read more

CASH ONLY! Definitely a hidden gem. I found it on Google map and decided to try it. A little hard to find, because it's in the corner of the food court and the food court resides in a doctor office- alike plaza. If I was busy or had plan that day, I would have skipped it since it was hard to locate. We ordered two durian mochis, 1 mango and 1 chestnut. We both love durian's so much! It was probably 80-85% of durian and just 15-20% cream. The mochi skin is soft and thin. The mango one was also full of mango chunk but just a bit sour ( this depends on the day and what mango they use, so I guess I happened to try the sour one). I will come back again! read more

Please note: CASH ONLY, so be prepared. Second note: this place is on the 2nd floor of the plaza But what a gem of a mochi place! Tucked in the back of the small food court, it's really hard to miss the line. Fortunately, the line goes by pretty quickly. My wife and I were unprepared and only had about $7 to spend. We got the 1 purple yam mochi and 1 mango mochi. The purple yam was ok. Nothing spectacular. But the mango mochi was a show stopper. Holy cow, it was small but delicious. They use actual chunks of mango inside the mochi, and it was so good. My wife and I wish we had more cash on us to buy more. So why the 4-star? Well, we need to come back! There were sagos and other desserts we wanted to try, but couldn't. So make sure to not be dumb (like us) and get some cash in hand! read more

When I took a bite of the mango mochi, I ascended into the heavens in a state of pure bliss. It was the best combination of fresh, sweet, juice from the mango and sticky, chewy mochi. The mochi itself was made from the gods. We got the mango mochi and the purple yam mochi and while the yam one is still great, the mango mochi is the better one by a far margin. We came around 2pm on a weekday and there was no line. The place is cash only and located in a plaza. Owners speak English. It is the type of place where you think about often once you leave for when you can come back next. This place is a must go! read more
