I came here specifically from a review that said if you like mango, you should come here. So this is where I came. I feel like I was confused on what mango combination to get, but I landed on mango and coconut with the small balls sago. It was different than what we were used to with boba, but I really liked it. I can definitely see how refreshing this would be on a hot day in Texas. My drink was ready literally right when I paid. So their service is very quick! It's also very cute inside, and looks nice and clean. There's lots of different drink shops I want to try in chinatown, but this is one of the good ones! read more

Came here for dessert after having dinner nearby. The dessert we had was just okay. Felt it wasn't very fresh, prepackaged. Just too many options in town now. read more

If you are a mango lover I definitely recommend coming here. They have a wide menu of mango desserts. The staff is nice and are able to recommend item from the menu. The service is super fast even when it's super busy as I have gotten my order within 5 minutes of ordering. There is seating where you can enjoy your dessert but it can get cramped since it is a small shop and there is two large tables right in front of the register. Along with the noise level being loud when busy. Overall, great for mango dessert along with another fruits too. I recommend the Coconut Jelly with Mango (C8) or Mango and Coconut With Sago Drink (D4)! read more

Their bubble tea is a little different as it's more of a smoothie or dessert type of drink. The service is fine but they do open later on in the day like at 12pm. Their main thing they look like they pride themselves in is the mango. If you're a fan of mango and smoothies or shaved ice this is probably the place for you. They had a few other things that were also dessert like to where you eat it with a spoon. The ambiance was actually cute though. It looked like a chill spot to be at. I love their little display out in the front of the window it really show cased what they had to offer. read more

Came here twice on my trip to Houston. I really loved the coconut jelly topped with mango. I tried some other things like the warm taro bowl or mango chewy ball with ice cream) but only the coconut hit the spot for me. The taro one was a tad too bland to me. The mango ice cream was just standard. The coconut jelly was the perfect amount of sweetness though. read more

As many reviewers suggested, I tried the mango pomelo sago. It had layers of fresh mango, fresh pomelo, mango ice cream, coconut milk, sago, and mango jelly. Truly delicious! You can get it in a cup and it's kinda drinkable thru a straw but I had more success eating it with a spoon. The delicate coconut flavor blended well with the mango flavors! read more

Pricey but solid dessert place. They're fast with orders, and luckily there's no long line anymore. There's plenty of seating to eat in! I always get the Jumbo Pomelo & Mango with Sago to share. It's layered with sago, an icy mango puree, coconut milk, pomelo pulp, and fresh mango chunks. The mangos are always sweet! read more

This place is a hit or miss. The mangos were not in season when we went, so it was a miss this time, but I've been a couple times before, and it was very refreshing and hit the spot then. The service is also very fast because we got our food within 1 or 2 minutes max. I also needed a bag filled with just ice for a headache, and they were really kind to give it to me. I like how cute and aesthetic and bright it is inside, but there's no air conditioning, so it's pretty warm. read more

As an avid mango lover, I was so excited to try this place since they have so many mango options! Even though they had a long line, the line moved fairly fast and we got our order within 5 minutes. We went around 10:30pm and rhey were still moving pretty quickly for processing orders. The Mango chewy ball was definitely my favorite and worth the hype! It was very unique and a must try dish at this restaurant! The mango coconut with sago drink was also amazing! The dragon drink was not that great. It has a very earthy taste more like red bean rather than dragon fruit so maybe the name is a bit misleading. The mango mochi was also good, but it wasn't as fresh as the other mango items there. I think I'd come back just for the mango chewy ball though! read more

Hui Lau Shan carves out a unique niche and they do it well! The mango swirl is one of my favorites. It has a strong note of mango base with fresh mango chunks inside. The creamy texture is reminiscent of drinking a mango mousse cake ( I mean it in the most positive way)! It was not too overly sweet and the mango bits were very refreshing. Service was pretty quick and expeditious given how busy they were. Weekends are incredibly busy and the weekdays are pretty robust as well. You may not get a seat right away due to limited seating, but you may be able to if you are patient and willing to stay and wait for just a few minutes. A lot of people also just do grab and go. Spacewise, it's a tad small but I don't think they have a whole lot of wiggle room given the location. The space itself is nothing short of a well curated spot with well placed decor and lighting. Much appreciated! read more

This is a very interesting mango based Asian dessert hotspot at the center of Chinatown. It is very robust and lively, especially on weekends. Seating can be a little bit difficult on busy weekends. But the staff are very straightforward and quick to take your order and fulfilled them. I had no issues with my order. We had the mango swirl for the first time. I would definitely go back for it again and again this swirl is a mildly sweet mango mousse cream like texture with chunks of mango inside. It's very refreshing and not overly too sweet. This is a place. I'd recommend to friends and family. The café isn't very spacious and can get loud during busier hours, especially on weekends. read more

Hui Lau Shan - K1. Mango Swirl - Desserts Near Me - Houston, Texas

Service was fast and menu had options ranging from drinks to desserts. The mango romance is a great option if you're new to Hua Lau Shan. You'll get 3 different desserts which gives you a taste of the mango mochi, mango ice cream and mango with pearls. The mango pancake leaves much to be desired as it doesn't taste fresh. Love the mango concept read more

Wasn't super thrilled with the drink. The first 80% of it lacked any meaningful mango flavoring, and while it did get better towards the button of the cup it wasn't enough to save the overall experience. The service was pleasant and we got our drink extremely fast, but we got our drink so fast it felt like the drink was premade. This would've been fine if I enjoyed the taste but sadly I didn't. I did enjoy the atmosphere though, felt extremely cozy and could definitely have seen myself chilling out here for a couple of hours if I enjoyed their food a bit more. read more

Hui Lau Shan - Mango Coconut Sago - Desserts Near Me - Houston, Texas

With the addition of so many new boba shops in the Houston Chinatown scene, I didn't think there were any new ones that could truly surprise me anymore. And then Hui Lau Shan arrives, hailing from my own birth country of Hong Kong. I didn't want to be biased because of our shared origins, but I fell head over heels from the first sip. The fact that mangoes are one of my favorite fruits probably gave this place a huge advantage, considering almost all their drink/desserts are mango based. I happened to discover my perfect drink during one of my first visits - the Mango Pomelo Sago. I'm not a big fan of coconut, but the coconut milk they used was sweet and did not overpower everything else (like the Mango Coconut Boom at HeyTea). The mix of the coconut milk, fresh pureed mango, mango sherbet, some pomelo bits, and sago to top it off, birthed a magically refreshing combo. There were periods of time when I would stop in for a drink once a week, sometimes even twice. Wouldn't be exaggerating at all to say this place was a life changing experience. #368 read more

Mango galore! They have so many varieties of mango and toppings in drinks and in little bowls. Usually I get the jumbo mango chewy ball, which is my favorite. It is so refreshing and I love the mixture of the chewy balls, with the cold ice cream, and the soft mango. Every bite is a little different which I enjoy too. This time, I wanted to try their drinks. I got the mango yogurt and my friend got the Pomelo and mango with sago drink. The mango yogurt tasted similar to vietnamese yogurt. It is on the thicker side with the perfect balance between the slight tartness of the yogurt and the sweetness of the mango. I wish it had something else to it though as it felt a little flat 6.5/10. My friend's drink had a good mixture of everything but I think I still prefer the bowl version. read more

I feel the prices are a little high but the desserts are so good. The mangoes are so delicious and sweet! Everything just feels so fresh and easy to eat. They are generous with the mango portions too. I had the jumbo mango and pomelo sago and it is the perfect size for sharing! Inside of the shop is very clean and quiet. Decor is modern and a great place to hang out. read more

Surprisingly, there was no wait when we arrived on Friday night at 10 PM. We have passed by several times and there was always a line outside. The cafe was packed but we managed to find a table after ordering. We ordered the durian pancakes, mango romance, and mango and pomelo sago dessert (not the drink). All are good, except the sliced mango in the mango romance, in the cup with the mango mochi. The mango had gone bad, had a slight acidic taste. We were finished with desserts by the time we tried it so no point in sending it back. I like how spaced out the seatings were, not feeling like I'm sitting on top of other people and plenty of space to walk by. Parking at this center can be a pain so try to utilize the parking garages if possible. read more

We got the mango crystal jelly and it was sweet and refreshing. The only disappointment was the mango juice tasted pretty bland and the color seemed a little pale/brown. It seemed a little watered down. The other locations had a sweeter more vibrant mango flavor to the desserts, but we were pretty disappointed with this one. The service was great. They took our order and almost immediately got us our dessert. read more

Really enjoyed all the items I ordered from here! I placed an order on uber eats and everything was still good (no my a soupy mess). The mango chewy balls were unfortunately missing the chewy balls but that's okay, I still enjoyed it. The pomelo mango and mango chewy balls are like a refreshing smoothie bowl. Would definitely order from here again. read more

Nice place for a sweet treat following a savory dinner from the nearby restaurants! Was pretty busy when my friend and I walked in but our orders came out within a reasonable time. They do have indoor seating but it can get pretty noisy since the space is small. I had the coconut jelly with mango and my friend got the egg waffle with mango ice cream and a mango & coconut with sago drink. Each item is generously proportioned, and in hindsight we should've just gotten 1 dessert to split between the two of us but they were both tasty desserts. This place is located in a busy plaza so they share a huge parking lot and a free parking garage with the adjacent businesses. read more

I've been to hui lau Shan a few times to try their mango desserts but this was the first time that I tried their coconut jelly with mango. I didn't realize that there were more items than just coconut jelly and mango, I shoudlve taken another picture of the inside. The toppings include mango, crystal jelly, and chewy balls. The mango was solid as always and the other toppings provided a variety of textures and chewy deliciousness. The coconut jelly itself was custard like and very very good! It wasn't too sweet but had that familiar coconut taste. It's almost like a tofu pudding. I really enjoyed this dessert and will definitely get it again. The only downside is that the place is always packed so it's hard to find seating. The like is long too but it moves quickly read more

Highlight: A3 Mango Delightful ($7.95), A2 Mango Romance ($8.95) The rice at the bottom of the A3 was on the mushy side for me. The mangos were sweet but the dish didn't stand out. Ordered the A2 and it's 3 small cups of various mango desserts. The mangos themselves were soft and sweet, but the taste and texture of the mango ice creams and mochi weren't as flavorful. Hospitality: The line was long but I got my order shortly after placing the order (5 minutes). Honorable Mention: There is seating on both sides of the shop but it gets jam-packed on the weekend so seating may be. Nice and bright lighting. read more

It's been close to a year since Hui Lau Shan came roaring onto the Houston Chinese dessert scene in Houston and with lines night in and out, it shows no signs of slowing down. I've had my fare share of this Hong Kong based chain over the years in all over and while I wasn't all that impressed with most, somehow this location has won me over big. I don't blame the many Houstonians for massacring the pronunciation of the name since Cantonese is hard. Hui Lau Shan is almost like "Heoi Lau Saun" (許留山) and for Mando speakers, it's more like "Xu Liu Shan" (Sue Lee-you Shawn). (#1) Mango fans will love Hui Lau Shan's practically dedicated menu of mango everything. From dessert soups (#2) to aloe jelly with mango juice to mango mochi, the sky is truly the limit. Their mango pomelo sago is their claim to fame and it's probably their most famous dish across all locations. It's silky with a nice mix of mango chunks and has a tinge of sweet and tart all in one bite. The drinks vary, but I think the pomelo + mango juice with aloe jelly is a winner. I'm strangely also very into their strawberry yogurt and their fresh watermelon juice. The swirls are always good for visuals and the mochi + pancakes are solid options for food on the go. There's always a pretty staff of young folks working to keep the food + drinks coming out quick. They have dealt with big crowds almost all the time, so I'm pleased to see that their desserts are as excellent as their service. They keep the lines moving, the food is made quickly, and above all, it's the perfect post-meal dessert night cap. __________ (#1) Reading all of that was incredibly painful just now. (#2) Tong Sui.

I was super HAPPY to see a familiar dessert spot for my 1st trip to Houston. This was my favorite dessert spot whenever I visited HK, however many locations had closed down. The one they opened in So Cal/SGV also had the same fate. So I was pleasantly surprise ANY Hui Lau Shan was still around. This place was super busy when we visited on a recent Friday night. The 4 of us shared: Mango pancakes, Mango crisp, mango delight, taro black glutinous rice, and a side of coconut noodles. We were in mango heaven! The mango is sweet and other ingredients they added to compliment the mango made it even more delicious. My favorite was the crispy mango which is like a bite size mango cheesecake but way better. Yum! I think the mangos in TX are definitely better than the ones they use in So Cal because it's so ripe and sweet. I'm so jelly! read more

My lil bro wanted to try out their desserts through DoorDash. So, he got their mango pancake and mango sago with pomelo dessert. Neither dessert had any real mango flavor and weren't very memorable. The mango pancake was especially disappointing as I really tasted no mango and just regular cake with cream inside. For items that were pretty pricey, if it says mango, it should taste somewhat like mango. Overall, the desserts were just ok. read more

We came here for dessert after a successful trip to the arcade machines nearby. The inside was packed. No seats but that's understandable on a Saturday night. There was a bit of a line. It moved fast though. We ordered and there was less than a five minute wait I'd say. We got the mango chewy ball which included a mango pudding base topped with mango ice cream, mango pieces, and mochi balls. I thought everything would be a bit overwhelming at first. Thankfully, that wasn't the case. I thought it was just the right amount of mango flavor. Each component provided a unique texture. Perhaps my only critique would be that the mochi balls were chewier than I expected. Maybe that's the norm but for me it just felt like a bit too much. Overall, I would certainly come back again and try something new from all the different variations of mango-based desserts that they have! read more

Me and my friends always end up coming back to this place after a meal in Bellaire. I remember when it first opened it was super crowded and with food reason. The space inside is bright and modern and there's enough space for friendly gatherings. I always order the coconut jelly with mango. The mango is always fresh which goes well with the coconut jelly. It's a pretty big portion so I can never finish in one sitting. It's always one of my go-to suggestions if anyone wants dessert. read more

My husband and I came here to have a cold dessert. We picked A1 which had fresh mango, mango pudding, mango ice cream, mango gelato/slush and small sweet rice balls. It came in a cute container which we kept reuse later . Our order was done in like a few minutes. This was enough for two adults. There are plenty of seating and tables. When you come in, you need to go to the back where the cashiers at to order your dessert or drink and then pick a seat and just wait to hear your order. The utensils and napkins are self-serve. And once you're done, you'll need to clean up after yourself. But the staff will come and wipe down the tables. Parking is free and out front however it was oddly super busy for a Wednesday night . When the plaza is super busy and the parking lot is very full you will want to drive slowly. Make sure you lock your car and hide anything that may be valuable. I personally preferred park in the open rather than the garage because the garage is really dark and kind of tucked away from the main areas.. so for this area, I am one of those people who is willing to drive around the parking lot 10 times for a chance to get a spot that someone just pulled out. I rarely park in their garages. read more

A unique place that serves everything mango-related. When I think about dessert in Chinatown, I'm usually thinking about boba or ice cream by default so it's always nice to get out of that bubble. I've gotten the mango yogurt and coconut jelly several times now and they consistently taste great. The most delicious parts of these sweets is honestly not the mango itself. It's the other ingredients they put in, and the mango compliments the taste. Mango yogurt - probably my favorite of the two. The yogurt is lightly sweet with a (pleasantly) sour taste, unlike typical American yogurt which is usually overbearingly sweet. If you've ever had commercial yogurt in China, that's more along the lines of what it tastes like. Coconut jelly with mango - coconut jelly is solid, but the best part are the balls of several different colors that are on top. Not quite sure what they are, but it adds a really tasty starchiness to the overall dessert. I've only dropped by on evenings, and it has always been packed. There may not be enough seats, and it's very loud. Line is usually 5-10 people long. Consider getting this to-go if you likely a more quiet environment. read more

This spot is always super busy. But if you love mango dessert you should stop by at least once. This is Chinese dessert spot from Hong Kong which means it wont' be too sweet. It focuses more on the actual fruit flavors and keeps it simple.

Bring on all the mango! My fam and I have stopped in several times before, and it's always been a delight. This time we got the Mango Chewy Ball and Mango/Coconut Juice with Aloe Jelly.

The staff was nice and moved quickly. Would return! read more

I was very excited to come here given the many photos I've seen. I stopped by and the place is quite small and quite plain inside not much decor other than the outside looking in you can see what the items from menu look like. The staff were friendly and helpful in describing the items and differences. What I ordered : Mango Chewy Ball (chewy sticky rice) Mango Mochi (pack of 6) Mango pancake (pack of 2) The mango pancake is traditional but this location offers bigger in size so they have more whipped cream than I prefer. Although still very good & not too sweet. The mango chewy ball bowl was refreshing and light, not too sweet, not too big, perfect size. Mango Mochi are not the typical frozen mochi they are more traditional, and are filled with a mango fruit inside. read more

This place gets crazy busy on Saturday night. We were lucky to find a table after placing our order. The line went out the door. I'm surprised since there are like 50 other boba tea places nearby yet everyone comes to this one. We ordered red dragon fruit icy, coconut jelly with mango, mango delightful, and durian pancake. I really liked all of the desserts. Durian pancake had a nice crepe like texture and was tasty. Durian smell not super prominent. Mango delightful had large, fresh chunks of mango. Coconut jelly with mango had a nice variety of goodies. You can't go wrong with these items for dessert. Prices were good. Customer service was quick and efficient. read more
