Recently visited w/ my gf as she was craving some chinese dessert. I think it's been at least a decade since I first tried this place and I didn't really remember if it was good or not. We ordered a mango sago and the sesame glutinous rice balls w/ crushed peanuts, coconut shreds and sugar. The mango sago ... while it wasn't bad, both my gf and I agreed that it's something both our parents could've made better LOL. The mango soup didn't have much flavour and the sago at the bottom was even MORE bland. And they have the audacity to charge $13.50 (as of June 2025) for this small bowl. Not recommended at all. The tong yun w/ crushed peanuts, sugar and coconut shreds was a lil better. It was my first time trying this style of tong yun (I think I still prefer the classic, black sesame filled tong yuns over these). read more

Double Ming Chinese Dessert restaurant is a very traditional Chinese Dessert house with homemade specialty desserts and limited soup options. It is a popular place among locals so expect a queue. Tea was a nice touch to balance out the sweetness of our desserts. The sweet sesame rice balls with coconut-peanut topping were perfect sticky gooey deliciousness. The ginger milk was potent, rich, creamy and incredibly soft. The fruity mango sago was delightful. Very busy with crowded lineups but worth the wait. read more

Came here with a group to enjoy some traditional Chinese desserts after a meal nearby. The top dessert is the steamed egg white with red bean topping. Every table seems to have at least one ordered. It was perfect amount of sweetness, not too sweet at all. Definitely recommend that. I personally ordered the black sesame paste. It's has a good amount of fragrant sesame flavour. However, personally for me, it's just a bit too sweet to finish in one sitting. My friend really loves their mango sago here but unfortunately they don't have it in the menu anymore or perhaps it's just not mango season. The taro milk was okay but wasn't as memorable as the others. Overall solid spot for desserts. However, I can see the huge selection could be overwhelming for someone that's not familiar with Chinese dessert soups and sweets. read more

Still my favourite Chinese Dessert place of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will be so sad if they ever closed down !!! THeir Boiled Ginger Milk is my all time favourite dessert and the best in town.. I tried other people and is always disappointed and always come back here. They offer all tons of Chinese desserts and also snacks. Their Chinese soup desserts is also not that sweet, fit for Chinese standards. There is also fruit desserts and mango is only available during the summer season. The line up for dine-in isn't that bad as the turnover is fast. I think the most i ever waited was 30 something minutes.. some people may opt to do takeout though if they don't wanna wait and they are pretty efficient and fast at fulfilling takeout orders as well as dine-in order. The mall is quite busy and parking may be hard to find. Suggest to go to the malls nearby if cannot find parking. Also easily accessible by ttc. There is about like 10 Chinese style tables for dine in- with chairs that has no back. If paid by cash, you get a cash discount of 10%. read more

Had a good time with friends over dessert. This is a very popular place for dessert. If you can't find anything else, this is a good fall back option. read more

My family and I stopped by Double Ming for dessert after dinner. Fortunately, we were able to squeeze around a small table right away and were served barley (?) tea as soon as we sat down. The ordering process is simple: you just mark down the quantity of each item you'd like on a paper menu. BLACK STICKY RICE WITH COCONUT - 6.75 This dessert contains some red bean paste, which paired well with the black sticky rice, coconut milk, and grass jelly. It was on the lighter side and not too sweet. While it wasn't worth writing home about, out of all the desserts we tried, this is the only one I might recommend. HERBAL ESSENCE JELLY WITH SWEET SOUP - 7.75 This dessert comes with a bottle of simple syrup on the side. The herbal essence jelly is extremely bitter and tastes like Chinese medicine. If this herbal flavor is not your cup of tea, I would stay away. No amount of simple syrup could mask the bitterness. SWEET SESAME PASTE - 7.99 This was extremely watered down, and the black sesame flavor was barely noticeable. The texture was thin and lacked the rich, gloopy consistency that you'd expect from a good sesame paste. SWEET SESAME RICE BALLS (6 CT.) - 6.50 +1 for fresh milk The fresh milk was nothing special, and the black sesame rice balls were disappointing. They were about 90% dough and only 10% black sesame paste. We were quite disappointed by this dessert. Unfortunately, after a lackluster experience, I cannot recommend Double Ming for Cantonese desserts. read more

It's a been many years since I step foot into a Chinese dessert place since the one at pacific mall closed. Traditional interiors but small space. Many dessert options but also have limited savory items. A very not "too sweet " spot, even my family thinks some items could be a tad sweeter. Also got the essence jelly and that came with syrup, and we used they for the sesame and red bean paste lol. The ginger milk was very strong in ginger flavour. The sticky black rice was the best in terms of sweetness and balanced nicely with the steamed milk. read more

I'm not sure why I haven't reviewed this dessert place yet since it has been around forever. It has been awhile since I last visited, but my recent visit didn't disappoint as the dessert was as good as I remember it. Not many places do traditional Chinese desserts well now but they have kept up a good standard and have the traditional seating to match. I got the ginger egg custard which was really yummy and smooth. read more

I've been to this Dessert place quite a few times. They have nice Chinese desserts and the price used to be very reasonable. However, this year it feels pricy!

Came to this Chinese dessert restaurant for the first time and tried their black sesame glutinous balls in a gingery soup. Was kind of disappointed as the glutinous balls lacked black sesame filling :(... I think my frozen black sesame glutinous balls from TNT are more tasty... Besides that, it had great texture and I enjoyed the gingery soup. Service was okay and ambiance was quite busy (love the traditional accents w/ decor!!!! However, I would come back to try their other desserts! read more

Double Ming Chinese Dessert - Chinese Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

Last summer, my family dropped by here for some quick dessert. The decor of this dessert shop seemed a bit old fashioned. One of the waiters had a hard time understanding our order. We spoke in both English and Cantonese and he seemed a bit confused. We got the boiled milk and ginger, boiled papaya with milk, sweet red bean paste, sweet walnut paste and sweet almond paste. Most of the desserts were pretty good and not too sweet. read more

Was in the area for a family gathering the night of and was brought here by some friends and families that recommended this place for great desert. Ordered the assorted fresh fruit with fresh coconut & milk. Ended up taking it home as the dine in space was already packed with patrons. It was fresh and refreshing, I like how it was real fruits which looked like pears, pineapples, watermelon chunks and coconut bits? Will have to come back when I'm in the area with some friends who want to go out for the evening. read more

Terrible experience! Trying to order steamed egg white with milk and sweet herbal tea with egg! Everything seems out of stock in their 4 out of 7 food selective categories! Desserts are all tasteless! We ordered green bean paste with jello, assorted fresh fruit with jello; and assorted fresh fruit with fresh coconut milk and a hot assorted herbal tea. The tea came in lukewarm, neither hot nor cold when I ordered for a hot one! The traditional one has a sweet flavor and proper ingredients in tea. Avoid any drinks from this place! Not even fake it or just don't know what it is in the drink! Weird drink cost $4! Supermarket has better herbal tea in bottle than this place! All desserts have NO flavors! The two assorted fresh fruit desserts only have cantaloupes and one piece of canned lychee and 2 pieces of pineapple but MISSING the main ingredient of SAGO and TASTE!!!! They just like to fill up your bowl with big chunk of cantaloupes! A big NO to come here for dessert! WASTE money! read more

The go to place in Scarborough for traditional Chinese desserts. Located at one of the busy plazas at Midland and Finch, you'll find Double Ming near the north west corner of the parking lot. Be warned, this place is always busy with both in house guests and takeout guests. Prepare to wait a bit for a seat, especially if it's a larger group. The desserts here are sweet but not too sweet (a Chinese compliment) and always have fresh ingredients. My go to is always the mango sago dessert. Though, it's not always in stock. In those cases I get the sago in coconut milk with fresh fruit. If you're a fan of sesame paste soup or dessert rice dumplings in sweet soup or any of those types of traditional chinese desserts, come to Double Ming. You won't regret. Prices are reasonable and food is good. Wait might be a little bit whether you're waiting for a seat or doing takeout. However you can call ahead to place an order for pickup. It is helpful if you or someone with you can speak chinese but you can also order in English if you want, it just may take some pointing at a menu to help. read more

Green bean paste with jello was so so. It was actually green bean soup with grass jelly. The soup was OK. The grass jelly was decent but not Taiwanese level smooth. Mango with tapioca came with sago. The mango was excellent for Canada & the sago smooth. The combined sweetness level of the dish was acceptable. Desserts here are less sweet than at other Chinese dessert places (so they are really under sweetened). read more

This was another disappointing dessert visit. One would expect that for a shop that specializes in Chinese dessert, they would make the almond paste and other desserts from raw nuts and seeds. The almond paste dessert wasn't as fragrant as freshly ground paste would taste. The ginger & milk was good--super "gingery". It was very odd that their mango pudding had grass jelly(?) cubes buried at the bottom? Service was fast. Interior decor was nice. Not sure if we would return. read more

Double Ming Chinese Dessert - Ginger & milk dessert. This won an award in 2010(?). VERY strong on ginger. - Chinese Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

Perfect spot for the cold winter days Double Ming is a staple in the Midland area for traditional-style Chinese desserts! It was not the first time we had gone and certainly not the last! We got our usual orders of the Steamed Milk and Black Sesame desserts. We also wanted to try something new so we got the grass jelly with fruit. All very yummy. The milk was very fresh and fit the mood for a cold day. The black sesame was very strong and flavourful. The grass jelly was very refreshing to our hot dishes. Be prepared for a wait for a seat or takeout at busy hours (you can call ahead for takeout). Especially with big groups, perfect for small groups as the place is small. It would be helpful if you or someone with you can speak Chinese but you can order in English or check the box on the menu or point. The place is small but has a cozy feel. read more

Authentic Chinese desserts with a decent volume of selection to choose from. They also have a small selection of snacks and drinks. Prices are a little higher but the taste is traditional and authentic. Whether you're ordering for dine in or take out, your order is ready quickly.

Double Ming Chinese Dessert - sesame paste and ginger boiled with milk - Chinese Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

This place is a hidden gem. The sign isn't noticeable. But once we stepped into the store, we can already tell it will be good. We came for two days in a row, one at 7 ish pm and one at 6 pm. But time are jammed packed, needed to wait for 20 mins at least to get in. They served authentic Chinese desserts that are hard to find elsewhere like double layered milk pudding, ginger milk pudding, homemade sesame powdered glutinous rice balls with sesame filling. We also tried curry fish balls, they are just ok. Nothing special. The rice rolls are ok. Quick snack if you want something savory. But the glutinous balls are chewy and delicious. Has good texture to it. Definitely recommend it! Double layer milk, I think the taste is good... can be more creamy, the layer can be thicker. They have tons of other dessert on the menu that we wanted to try. Excellent variety!!! Overall, service is decent. Staffs are friendly and food came out relatively fast. read more

great experience. very traditional and good dessert. i like the ambience and service.

After a pretty lousy dessert experience, Double Ming has redeemed themselves a bit with decent dessert. We ordered their steamed egg white with red bean, as well as thei mango with tapioca ($7,50).

Double Ming Chinese Dessert - Chinese Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

It feels like the traditional Chinese dessert restaurants I know are slowly disappearing! I came back to Double Ming for the first time in a LONG time and was pleased to find they had a few tables set up outside. The system was a little strange, you walk in to order at the counter and pay and then let them know you'll be sitting outside. They give you a number and that's how they know where to drop off your food. They take cash or debit only. We ordered a 薑汁撞奶 & 合桃杏仁糊, both which tasted great. The ginger milk was perfectly smooth and silky which that strong ginger flavour. Beware, that ginger is SPICY. The walnut and almond paste was also not too sweet and a good thick consistency. Taste-wise, definitely top notch. My friend who ordered the 椰汁黑糯米 was not as lucky however and found it to be liquidy and flavourless. Beware: if you're sitting outside you may need to ask someone to wipe the tables down. We noticed that as they cleaned the tables they took the garbage but did not wipe the tables. When we sat down there were still scraps left over from the previous patrons and we had to ask someone to clean it for us. The total for my two desserts came up to around $12.45 and I gave them $14. I waited for a few minutes expecting my change and she kind of just went to do a bunch of other stuff and just kept my change..? But not wanting to wait any longer indoors next to everyone who was eating, I just left it. Im glad there are still some places I can go to for my Chinese dessert fix. read more

Double Ming Chinese Dessert - 薑汁撞奶 & 合桃杏仁糊 - Chinese Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

Reason for Visit: First time checking out this super popular Chinese dessert place in Markham. Menu: I personally tried their ginger milk and coconut jelly along with their red bean herbal jelly. First, their ginger milk is so legit I don't think I can handle it. It is so gingery which I guess is what people look for. But we talking VERY gingery. Again, this is I suppose as legit as it gets for ginger milk but be warned, probably not the dessert to get if you introducing this restaurant for friends who never had ginger milk before. Coconut jelly- this was very good. Rich in coconut flavor and love the red bean for texture Red bean/ jelly- nothing really special about it. I guess they very generous with portion of red bean. To be honest, it wasn't as sweet as I would had liked . I guess I am just more of an ice cream/fruit dessert guy with 0 regards for diabetes. Service: Very fast and efficient. Your food will come very very fast within minutes. Atmosphere: Small, get ready to get cramped esp in winter with jackets. Overall: Line up early. It gets quite busy and you are probably waiting for a good 15-20 minutes for a table during peak hours. read more

2.5-3 This is your typical Chinese dessert place but nothing really stood out, except the boiled papaya with white fungus. I was surprised that they used coconut juice/milk instead of the normal sugar cane syrup but what really caught my attention was how many papaya was in that small bowl! I honestly thought there wouldn't be that many...boy was I wrong. Everything else; tong yun with peanut/ginger and black sesame paste was so-so. I wouldn't come out of my way to come here. read more

Love the milk pudding. Great no frills dessert. Make it a must go when in town. Really busy during the weekends but worth it.

Came here a year ago, and then came here again yesterday and it looked just like it did a year back. Same decor; same round tables with stools tucked underneath. You're basically transported into a chinese teahouse once you step through the door. I enjoy the seats. They're not chairs, so you won't be able to lean back or anything, but once in a while it's not bad to sit on a stool. In the back, there is a coat rack, along with a corridor leading to a lone washroom. Staff can speak english, so if you're not confident with your chinese that is not a problem. When you are seated, tea will be served to your table, along with an ordering sheet. They have a variety of desserts to choose from. Ordering is done through the sheet. They also have some seasonal desserts that are listed on the counter, so pay attention to those as well as those aren't on the menu! (it was full of mango options that day) I ordered a red bean paste with steamed egg and milk. It was sweet, but not too sweet. Has that nice red bean flavour. The steamed egg and milk work pretty well with it. Although at $5.99... I don't know probably should've gotten something that wasn't so common. The mango desserts that everyone else got came with so much mango that I probably should've gone with that as well. One thing I noticed was the hasma menu has changed significantly. They used to offer a variety of stewed hasma options for $5.99, but they took most of those options out now it's a mix of hasma and swallow's nest, which increases the price significantly. So if you're looking for hasma...might have to look elsewhere. read more

Double Ming Chinese Dessert - I messed up. Guess who didn't order the mango. - Chinese Near Me - Scarborough, Ontario

his is a small spot in a busy plaza serving traditional Chinese desserts. I used to come here quite frequently for late night dessert but it's been a while since I've been. I stopped by today and they are still super busy. Luckily, I got there just in time and snagged the last available table before a line started to form. This spot isn't very large so can get quite noisy and cozy and the tables are round with stool seats. Service is average and menu is in English & Chinese. The desserts are okay, nothing out of the world, but will do the job. The beef balls are decent as there's not enough flavour - pmall does it better. Prices are reasonable and great value! Parking is in the plaza and may get busy at night. read more
