jumbo pomelo and mango with sago
Rosie H.

A friend of mine introduced me to this place by chance. I was looking for dessert and we ended up here. There's plenty of parking available in this strip mall. It took me a minute or two to figure out what I wanted because I basically wanted everything. I love mango and pomelo. It's just so refreshing on hot summer days! Anyway, we opted for the jumbo pomelo and mango with sago and it did not disappoint. Sure, I wish I had more because I was sharing this (I could have eaten a large one by myself but I had to restrain myself). It was light, fresh, and not too sweet-which is what I really prefer. I don't like sweet desserts at all. There was some seating inside but it was a little noisy with everyone talking and ordering their drinks so we decided to eat outside. Unfortunately, the mosquitoes were attacking us as we were eating.

Jumbo pomelo & mango with sago

The visual and the flavors of the desserts don't match up. We got the jumbo pomelo & mango with sago and an original (plain) HK egg waffle. Both items looked delicious...but the flavors were quite bland. The pomelo & mango with sago had a mini amount of pomelo sprinkled on the top while there's an overwhelming amount of sago. The mango chunks were good but not too sweet. The mango pudding, mango ice cream and coconut milk lacked distinct flavors. We've had the same dessert at Hui Lau Shan in Hong Kong as well as other Asian dessert specialty shops in OC...the one at Hui Lau Shan Irvine just does not taste right. Same problem with the egg waffle...not sweet enough, and although the paper container is adorable, the design also made the egg waffle get soggy quickly. Anyone who likes desserts more sweet would be disappointed here.

Mango & Coconut with Sago

Wow! First time at Hui Lau Shan and I cannot wait to come back and try more items! I played it safe and ordered the Mango & Coconut with Sago, the drink was very refreshing and enjoyable. I will definitely be craving this every so often. Can't wait to come back soon!

Hui Lau Shan is located in a plaza with many other stores, but parking can get busy. There are a decent amount of tables inside and also tables outside. We got the mango sago and took out the pomelo and also the mango crisps. Everything came out within 5 minutes and was the perfect sweet treat for a hot day!

Soooo good

I heard this is one of the largest locations, so I'm glad I live so close to it. I last wrote a review over 3 years ago, so I'm happy to say nothing has changed. Everything is still so good- I never remember what I ordered last, so I always get something new, and I love it all. Besides parking, which can be tricky, this location hits the spot. The service is great and the ambiance is very cute- all the items on the menu have photos, so it's easy to decide what you want.

SO GOOD! I got the mango coconut sago drink. The mangos were perfectly sweet and I enjoyed the balance of the sago, coconut and mango. The proportions of each layer was perfect. It reminded me of mango sticky rice in a drink! Def would come back to get this. My fiance got the mango fruit tea. It was a bit too floral than what we were expecting but still refreshing! 5 stars is because of how tasty the mango coconut drink was.

Came here out of random to grab dessert. The whole theme is mango and honestly it's fresh and delicious. I tried a few things from mango jelly to the drinks. It's all fabulous. It is not too sweet and easy to chew. So it was safe for even my nieces to eat. The service was fast and friendly where they recommended a few things. All in all, it was great!

I'll never forgive them for leaving the 626. Insane that this is the only SoCal location left. But I guess that make sense since there's so much competition there in terms of Asian desserts and some late night spots versus the OC which doesn't have that much due to being a suburban hellscape (no offense). 30 minutes before close, this place was popping on a Saturday night. There was a line the entire time we were there and all of the seats inside were taken, as well as most of the ones that were outside, but service is super efficient and on it. From ordering to preparing and packaging our desserts, it happened relatively quickly. I miss the Rowland Heights location with the cute yellow decor and the characters all over it, since this is a smaller shop and the characters are only on one small side of the counter wall. You do get a Yogurtland-esque spoon with the mango mascot and the other mascots are on their to go bags as well. There's food models of some of their desserts and they show what type of mango is in season and that they're serving currently. Menu is what I remember from the other locations before closure. Since we were already full from dinner, I staved off from getting the jumbo chewy mango ball dessert that I always get and each of us decided to get a drink and get the Mango Romance to try a bit of everything. Deliciously sweet mangos without any of the tartness or stringiness from lower quality ones. Yummy variety of all sorts of desserts and all of our drinks, leaned more towards the dessert side, but yummy nonetheless. They don't skimp out on the mangos nor the toppings, which is great. I'll come back here again as I mourn the loss of the ones closer to me.

Mango mango mango! I love mango and Hui Lau Shan has all the possibly mango desserts for you. It was really crowded in here and all the seats were taken. The employee working the counter was awesome explaining some of their desserts. I ended up going with their Mango and Coconut Sago drink which was great. Perfectly sweet. My buddy got the black sesame porridge which looked absolutely insane but I think he liked it. Next time I would definitely get one of their mango coconut bowls. Everybody was getting that so it looked really appealing.

Hui Lau Shan, 5365 Alton Parkway, Suite M, Irvine, CA92604. Back at Hui Lau Shan, this time bringing family member who's here for the first time. We had the Durian Black Glutinous Rice (warm version) and Mango Coconut Duo Mix. Delightfully refreshing and light. We liked it that it was well balanced and not too sweet. The natural sweetness came from coconut and glutinous rice instead of some artificial sugar/sweetener.

Mango mochi
Jen S.

Came here on a hot day to get shaved ice after a recommendation from a friend. I was not expecting the huge selection of mango items. We quickly decided to order the mango mochi, sesame porridge, and mango coconut sago and these were great choices. The mochi was perfectly chewy and soft and sweet. The mangoes were sweet. Sesame porridge and mochi--we ordered cold and it was refreshing for the hot day. The mango coconut sago was delicious. The coconut milk balanced well with the mango and the sago. Will definitely come back again

Mango! Been coming here for more than 6 years now because my son is 6. We really love this place. Every time we come here the staff is very kind and friendly. They take their time to understand my son who is trying to order. My son talks very fast and it's tough for new people to understand him. Inside is very clean. It can get very busy but still great. What we order Jumbo Mango chewy ball Mango sago (2) Mango coco nut juice with aloe Vera Bubble waffle Coconut jelly with mango (2) Mango pudding (3) Hahaha it's a lot right!! We ate a few in the store and a lot to go. Hahaha but so worth it. Spent a lot but it's for the week so don't judge. lol

Coconut mango sago
MyChi N.

I got the mango coconut with sago drink and the mango mochi. I highly recommend getting the mango mochi! It's perfectly chewy and the mango is so sweet. The mango coconut with sago is good too, but if you compare it to HeyTea, it's not quite as good. The mango coconut here tastes a bit diluted, it's not as sweet, and they don't include mango chunks. But I would come back for their mango mochi!

This place was amazing! For those who have a nut allergy, their granola is nut free which I love…read moreand they put their granola nutrition ingredients list in front. I got the small razz party acai bowl and it was already filling 12.75. would come again

On such a hot day. I was craving something fresh and nutritious after church…read more My Yelp friends led me here, and when I first walked in, there was a little bit of a line which I usually interpret as a good sign. I spent about $14 for an açai bowl their tropical mango bowl I believe. I had some modifications since I didn't like the raw coconut offering or the banana so I opted for sliced almonds and extra mango with almond butter on top. After waiting a few minutes, looking at the bowl, it didn't look like much and sadly it didn't taste like much either. The almond butter was globed on top and made it really difficult to eat. After bypassing the almond butter I was able to get into the açai which was way too sweet. I'm not sure what type of açai they use, but it did not taste like a freshly prepared açai it tasted more artificial and overly sweet. It may have also been sweet because of the honey I believe they put on top of it. The combination of the açai with the honey and then almond butter was way too sweet. The mango was OK not as firm as I would want it to be and the granola was at the bottom at the bowl and also sprinkled on top, but unfortunately it was the worst acai bowl I've ever had. Parking is free and they do offer a few seats inside. The staff was also really nice but unfortunately, if I do decide to come back maybe I'll try a smoothie instead.

A hidden gem in Irvine!…read more Great breakfast/coffee spot. Have been here a few times and each time has been a great experience. Food and coffee is consistently good. The ambiance is perfect for hanging out or getting work done. Coffee wise, have tried the Nutella Madeleine and their seasonal Pumpkin Latte. You can completely customize each drink when ordering which is so nice. Both drinks were fantastic, with the Nutella one being my fave. Food wise, the Bacon Egg and Cheese sandwich was delicious. Perfect size for breakfast. Great vibe here. Staff was very friendly. The whole place is super clean and welcoming. Will definitely be back when in the area!

Honestly disappointing, especially what appears to be good reviews of this place…read more The only positive factor I can remember is how much seating there is inside (lots of people just meeting up, working, etc). - You order on two available consoles, which you think would help with efficiency and workflow (it was pretty busy when I got there). However, it took my drink a while to come out. There was a sign above the consoles that indicate ETA of the drink. Based on the color I thought it would be a quick wait but it ended up taking 15 minutes. It seems like the coffee station, manned by one person it seems, was cranking out multiple drinks whereas the drink I got (matcha) took a long time - this is despite me being one of few matcha drinks ordered when I was waiting... - I noticed that as the barista was whisking my drink, she took the whisk out, took a look at the whisk then with her bare hands touched the tip of the whisk and reinserted it into the cup.. all without washing her hands or using gloves... I honestly wanted to say something but I was already in a rush and didn't want to make a scene at an already busy hour and the barista looked kind of frazzled already... - If you are hoping for a strong matcha, this isn't the place to go to. I got the blueberry matcha, which was a pale green in a color and it tasted like a premade mix of blueberry matcha.. although calling it matcha may be a bit generous as the drink just tasted like blueberry milk...Not sure if I'll be coming back.. not for matcha any way
