    Mango & Coconut with Sago, Jumbo Pomelo & Mango With Sago, Passion Fruit Mango Icy
    Duyen T.

    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)!

    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.

    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.

    Mango pomelo sago
    Rachel S.

    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!

    Jumbo Pomelo & Mango with sago

    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!

    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.

    The reviews made me a little nervous for this place, but it tastes just like other Hui Lau Shan's I've been to. If you don't like mango desserts, you're a hater! lol but if you come in expecting good mango drinks and desserts, then this is the place to be.

    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!

    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!

    K1. Mango Swirl
    Joelex D.

    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.

    Mango Coconut Sago
    Chris F.

    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.

    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.

    Mango Romance
    Kim N.

    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.

    What are the vegan options? What items contain egg? What about nuts or wheat, if any? (Asking for food allergy reasons.) Can't seem to find ingredients online.

It was warm, crispy and delicious! Karak tea ($5) - This milk tea drink was made with aromatic spices, primarily cardamom, cloves, ginger and cloves. I was happy to see they used whole milk instead of evaporated milk. The drink was incredibly rich and creamy and tasted great. Turkish delight ($18 / lb.) - This was extremely fresh, soft and chewy, made with cornstarch, sugar, nuts. Some of the varieties I tried had chocolate and/or fruits. The baklava here was fresh made with layers of phyllo dough, chopped nuts, and held together with some honey. The nut offerings here included, almonds, walnuts, peanuts and a few more.

Also got a bag of chocolates, which are weighed by the pound. The only qualm I have is that the chocolates are not labeled, so when you mix them all together, it truly is a bit of a Russian roulette on what you'll get. Everything was super yummy.

Our pass was for 1pm and we were inside by 1:10pm. They do reserve the tables initially for the fast passes, at least when we came in at our time and it was great because I couldn't imagine being here without a table since I had a group of little ones with me! The staff were super friendly and worked as quickly as they could. There was a little bit of stress because of volume of orders and people, but they did the best they could and handled the traffic well. We got a variety of drinks and each enjoyed them-- I will say, all of the drinks are on the sweeter side, but definitely standard for kids. We literally got one of everything on the menu and I wasn't able to grab photos before the kids enjoyed them, but that's the whole point! The add ons can become pricey, but for the enjoyment of your little ones, it's definitely worth it! For food, we got the Derpy spam rice, ramen and grilled cheese.

Inside you will also find French pastries, coffees and teas, gelato, milkshakes, sandwiches and macaroons. I felt the most interesting items were the French pastries as they are cute and tasty as well. Also, they plate the pastries nicely when you dine in as an added bonus. I tried the Chocolate Royale and the Ruby. Chocolate Royale - a petit chocolate mouse slice with flat chocolate panels along the sides. It is delicate and tasty. If you're a chocolate lover, this is definitely up your alley. Ruby - visually this looks like a strawberry Hershey kiss, with red powder on the exterior and a top piece of foil to resemble foil on the wrapper of a hershey kiss. Inside, it's filled with a strawberry cream and has a chocolate base. I just wish there was more chocolate in this one. They have plenty of seating inside as well as along the sidewalk. Inside you have the more fancy tables, whereas outside, they're more weather resistant and not as upscale in appearance. The soft drinks to drink along with your sweets are in a cold case along the hotel side of the space and you just take them to the register as you order. One of the most surprising things when you come here are the relatively affordable prices as you might expect them to be more for being a coffee shop attached to a 5-star hotel with a helipad.

What's nudged this place up to 5 stars for me is they have really improved their coffee game, specifically their quality of cappuccino's. Previously it seemed more of latte, but now to me its a legit Capp. Their choice of pastries hasn't changed, which gives you a good assortment of choices and they have added an additional barista or server which also is a nice touch for service. The only niggling items, parking can be tough, so you'll have to either walk a block or be quick to find a place close by. Regardless, definitely give this place a go to come for a pastry and coffee.

Perhaps it was how bready it was or that I found the toppings slightly underwhelming but... yeah. Still yummy though but not my fav. My husbands though - his was amazing! But also incredibly rich.
