    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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! 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

    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

    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!

Parking can get a little tight in the free parking lot, but we didn't have too much trouble on Sunday afternoon. The interior was very cute and pretty with flowers. They also sell mochi donuts -- this looks like a rebrand Bober Tea shop that's known for their "stir fried" boba. The brown sugar boba in our drinks tasted like the super soft and flavorful boba. My husband and I really loved the boba. But at 100% sweet, the drink was wayyy too sweet that we had to dilute it with water. Next time I would get half sweet. It had a very nice black tea flavor that shone through which is unique from other boba shops.

The quality has just been so utterly consistent. These baked goods truly taste rustic and homemade; I believe the freshness is guaranteed and everything is baked daily. I always buy the shuku pan to make sandwiches my daily lunches and the country bread/sourdough for my avocado toast and breakfasts. The sandwiches made in-house are also recommended especially the chicken katsu and the assorted ham/tuna/egg salad. I like the croquette and egg salad in a bun especially. All of these are savory and flavorful yet subtle. I also recommend any of the pastries including curry pan, melon pan, and of course the strawberry croissants but beyond that I also really like the strawberry banana croissant and blueberry croissant. There is also a selection of drinks made in-house café-style as well as bottled Japanese drinks. The staff are friendly and I really like the space even though it's small. You can find seating outside especially if you avoid rush hours. Of all the three locations, this one is my favorite because it's so rustic and historic and really fits in with the overall vibe and aesthetic of Old Town Tustin and the El Camino Real. Please check this bakery out; it's one of the best in all of SoCal in my opinion.

Only recently was I able to visit and try their croffles and other sweets. Did NOT know that this was inside the H Mart food court in Diamond Jamboree. Parking is horrendous and the driving there is horrendous as well. Probably the easiest and least horrifying option just to automatically default to is to just park in the overflow lot right next to the plaza. There's no indicator for the parking garage so on a particularly busy day, you can head all the way to the top, find nothing and navigate through the hell crowds trying to leave. Ambiance is a very casual, counter order business in the food court. There's seating there, but we ate really close by. Definitely something you have to eat immediately or the texture will not be optimal or it might get soggy. We got the tiramisu croffle and they toasted it and put it together for us there. The lady working there packed it up nicely in a to go box and we got some cookies (regular ones and almond crisp ones). It's a bit sweet, but they're dessert pastries so that makes sense. Goes great with a brewed cup of tea. Croffle had a nice semi-chewy texture and the tiramisu flavor added a bit of a coffee taste to it. Good balance of the cream and croffle. The cookie wasn't too bad either. Overall not a bad to go dessert spot.
