Tried the mango cream mochi and durian cream mochi! Both were soooo tasty and the mochi skin was soooo soft. Wish there was more fruit filling because the cream was a little overwhelming. would definitely return
Waiting time: 4/5 Cleanliness: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Taste: 5/5 Pricing: 3.5/5 Overall: Lined up about five minutes after they opened and waited around 10 minutes - not bad! I got a box of four mochis for about $14 ($3.50 each) plus one jumbo mango mochi. The mochis were super fresh since they were constantly restocking trays straight from the kitchen. I thought the mango would be my favorite, but the strawberry one actually was my #1! The filling was creamy with a yogurt like flavor, almost as if the strawberry was mixed into the cream. The durian and mango mochis had plain whipped cream filling, which was still good but less unique. I've seen a few reviews saying the durian was spoiled or off, but mine was totally fine. I'd definitely come back, but I wouldn't wait more than 15 minutes. Most people seem to buy boxes instead of singles, so be prepared that your favorite flavor might sell out before it's your turn.
This new dessert place in Crystal Mall caught my eyes by its moderate lineup (about 8 or 9 people before me) on a Sunday back in middle of June. The wait was only about 10 minutes. They have signage on the counter saying that the store is new and so are the staff. They are trying their best to provide good service. I appreciated the communication. The staff were friendly and efficient indeed. They accept cash or debit only. I picked up the following: - Mango sago mochi (size of a small mango) - Cream mochi set (4 pc) - strawberry, mango, black sesame crumble, durian - Original tiramisu - Black sesame panna cotta The glutenous skin of all the mochi was thin, soft and chewy yet they didn't stick on your teeth badly. It was an enjoyable texture. I have to add that since I bought so many, being a disciplined me, I didn't finish them all in one day! The skin and freshness could be maintained for up to 3 days being refrigerated (based on my personal and unintentional experiment). By the 4th day the skin got a little dry and tough. The stuffing was still acceptable. They recommend to enjoy the mochi within 24 hours. I like the taste of the creamy mango sago mochi. The mango was chopped in small chunky pieces. They made a tiny brown mochi texture stem on the top of the mango shaped mochi, which was cute. At that time, they only allowed one mango sago mochi per person due to limited supply and high demand. I have tried similar mango mochi in Richmond. Both were good and unique. You can have your pick. The mochi set of 4 allows you to try 4 flavours at once. The pricing was acceptable at $13.80 consider the size was decent and everything was impacted by the rising costs. The durian mochi was my fav from the set. It had real durian pieces and cream wrapped by the lightly sweet mochi skin. Yummy! Other flavours were also distinct by its core flavour. I would try the cocoa Oreo flavour next time. The original tiramisu seemed pricey ($10), but the 9x9x6cm box was deep. Unless you have an empty stomach, there was no way to finish all at once. I had to split it in half. The cream was very fresh. It had the authentic flavour of this Italian dessert. The plastic box was quite nice. It can be repurposed for storing small items. Last but not least, this Italian dessert with a twist: the black sesame panna cotta. It had the black sesame flavour in this gelatin on the top covering the heavy cream on the bottom. The consistency was very smooth and nice. I would go back and try other items I haven't tried.
swung by hafu dessert at crystal mall, i've heard so many good things, have been meaning to check it out, and lucked out with no lineups. managed to snag the last two durian mochis (yes!). by the time i got there, a little after 5:30 pm, there were only three flavours left: durian cream, fresh mango cream, and black sesame and biscuit crumbs cream, guessing they sell out fast. they only accept cash or debit, and you have to buy in even numbers, so i went for six (figured i'd share...but scarfed down two before dinner). the durian had a subtle flavour, and the mango with cream was fresh, super soft, glutinous, and absolutely delicious. just the right amount of sweetness and that melt in your mouth texture. it's about a two bite dessert, three if you want to be dainty. they're meant to be eaten within six hours, and hoping the other four will keep since they're a little gift for my guests tonight. pricing's $13.80 + tax for four pieces or $7.15 + tax for two, with an extra $0.25 per mango mochi due to higher mango prices. apparently on weekends only, you can get the half mango, limit one per customer at $8.50 + tax. note to self: next time, go earlier and maybe even on a weekend.
New spot for mochi fruit desserts. Honestly, overhyped and overpriced. Staff don't know how to do line control. They sold out before my turn in line so I did a preorder and came back later in the day to collect my order. They didn't have a separate line for pick ups but as a pre-order pick up, I was able to just go up to the till and ask for my order. They plan for that experience in the future if they will continue with pre-ordering. On to the food, it was quite expensive for... Mochi. I understand the labour costs to make them fresh but $14 a box for 4 mini mochis + $6 for a jumbo mochi doesn't make sense (especially if it's not fully fruit)! It was fruity and tasty but this was not worth the cost or wait, in my opinion. The jumbo mango mochi isn't actually a half mango wrapped in mochi. It is cubed mango in a cream mixture that is shaped to look like a half mango. Quite deceiving and not comparable to places in Richmond that do an actual half mango mochi. The mini mochis was offered in a few flavors: mango, strawberry, black sesame, durian and Oreo. The perk is it's mix and match, as I only bought mango and strawberry mochis. Beware the mini mochis require being bought in groups of 4.
The shop is located inside the crystal mall in Metro Town. A short walk from the metropolis mall and the sky train. I was lucky to not have a long line in front of me and I was able to get a set of 4 mochis for less than 15$ after tax. I got two durian mochis and two mango mochis. They use real fruit but the cream around it makes the mochi not an original mochi.
We got quite a few things from here The mango mochi and the sesame mochi were our favourites. For the price, the items are pretty good. I wished the flavours were a bit stronger but I understand why they don't make them too strong. It's more accepting for the mass public to have less strong flavours The mango Sago and the matcha pudding were okay. I wouldn't get these again The mochis I would get again if I was really craving mochi and wanted a cheap alternative
Best mochi I have ever had here in Vancouver! Going on a week day during the day, there is no wait. I hear that its popular on Saturdays because there was a sign for the giant mango mochi that is only available on Saturday ( its their viral item). Their boxes are designed to hold 4 regular sized mochis and they have deals for buy multiples of 2 or 4. Cash or debit preferred as there will be a 2% service charge for card. We got 4 : 2 mango, one cookie crumble and one strawberry. Texture for all of them were just the perrrrrrfect chew and softness. Fillings were good ratio to cream and fruit - real fruit pieces that were sweet! Yes , pricing is a little steep for a palm sized mochi and its an extra $0.25 for the mango ones , but for a treat is still a top pick for me. For the quality and taste you get , I think its worth it haha. Would go back to try more flavours ! Makes for a great gift or something sweet to bring to a small gathering if you are feeling generous and able to not eat it all yourself on the way !
I really like the texture of mochi (or anything made with glutinous rice flour) and got to try the desserts here with a friend. Since we both like mango, we got the mango cream mochi, and decided to try the durian mochi as well. We were told that the durian mochi has received mixed reviews (since it has a very strong smell) so it was nice that the girl working there gave us a heads up. The durian mochi did have an interesting taste but it was the aftertaste that was very strong. I can see why some people aren't fans of it, but it was fun for me to try it. The mango mochi was not too sweet, which I really liked and had pieces of real mango inside it. Personally, I enjoy mochi for the texture but I think the cream/filling was the main focus here and it did not stand out too much. There is no seating in the shop as it's more of a pick up and go format, but there is a food court upstairs that you can eat at. Taste (1/1) Quality (1/1) Revisit (0/1) Value (0/1) Service (1/1) + Experience (1/1) read more
Hafu was so fresh sweet and soft, the fruit was refreshing and the cream was soft but not too sweet nor overwhelming. I loved everything about it, just next time I might pass on the durian that was a little overwhelming. The worker was very sweet and it's a cozy cute store, there isn't any seating tho so we ate by a bench nearby. read more

I visited Hafu dessert specializes for mochi dessert. Their menu is limited, so, I chose Mana mixed box with mango, fresh Strawberry, purple rice and red bean and Dorian cream. Each mochi had plenty of whipped cream filling and fruits or purple rice. Mochi layer was very thin layer and carefully crafted. I prefer a bit thicker, however, it was very good. Flavor was light and fruits was highlight. It is nice to share with family or bring to friends place. I am looking forward seeing more different flavors. read more

I went twice today to snag these. First time, I was told to come back later. When I came back for the second time, there was a line up outside the store. I was either fifth or sixth in line and waited about 15 minutes. You can get 4 mochis for $13.80 + gst. Cash or debit, or pay an additional 2% if paying by credit card. They're a little on the small side, Id say about half the size of your palm. They're also not as chock full of fruit that one would expect from a fruit filled mochi. In fact, I would say this is the least filled mochi I've had. The texture of the mochi itself though is amazing - super soft, with a subtle sweetness to it. Would I recommend this place? I think there's better mochi out there for a better price point, and I hate lining up for food, but if I were to just walk by and there was no line, I might buy a couple. read more
