Very good experience. My daughter also loves the environment here. Hand-beaten Lemon Green Tea is my favorite one. read more

Dropped by this little dessert catering spot on E Valley with a friend and wow, Great Value for what you get. We ordered the Signature Coconut Jelly Dessert Soup and the Mango Pomelo Sago, plus the Sweet Ferment Rice and Mini Ball in Eggdrop Milk because it sounded too fun to skip. Coconut jelly was super silky and refreshing, not overly sweet, just right. Mango Pomelo Sago had that nice citrusy kick with creamy mango vibes, really addictive. The Eggdrop Milk one was cozy and nostalgic, those mini balls were chewy in a good way. Chill service, quick, no fuss. Low-key spot but solid desserts, would totally come back for a sweet fix :) read more

I just discovered the ultimate hidden gem in LA's Cantonese dessert scene! Nine Square Dessert is genuinely mind-blowing--every single bite completely blows my mind! Signature Fresh Coconut Jelly I cannot recommend this enough! It is absolute perfection! Smooth and silky on the tongue, with a texture so impossibly rich and velvety it feels like coconut-flavored panna cotta! The sweetness is super restrained, letting the pure, intense natural coconut flavor shine through. The absolute best part is the top layer: covered in coconut flakes and golden, crispy toasted coconut chips that add an incredible "crunch-crunch" texture and bring it to a whole new level!

Mango Pomelo Sago The ultimate classic Cantonese dessert, and they nailed it! The mango puree is so silky and smooth that the moment you bite into it, an explosion of intense mango flavor bursts in your mouth with zero fiber--just pure, velvety perfection. The juicy pomelo sacs are the absolute star, perfectly balancing the mango's sweetness while elevating both flavors into a magical synergy. It is SO juicy!! I was completely lost in dessert heaven! If you love Cantonese desserts, go check it out with your eyes closed. These three are absolute must-orders--you'll be thanking me later! A Little Bonus: What touched me wasn't just the amazing desserts. The moment I walked through the door, a quote on the wall hit me right in the feelings: "The world can be a bit bitter, so I want to give you a little sweetness." For anyone getting off work, walking in here feels like being wrapped in a warm embrace by a friendly stranger. One bowl of this dessert brings sweetness to your tongue and warmth to your heart, instantly washing away all that workday burnout~ read more

Really enjoyed every dessert we tried here. I got the mango sago which is very refreshing. bowls aren't so big, it's a good late night snack. the signature coconut jelly dessert has a lot of taro balls and other stuff in it which is a plus. We also got fries, and they were surprisingly good! There are a few other savory options if you want something light alongside your dessert, like lemon chicken feet (if you like that). kind of shocker to see chicken feet at a dessert spot but A+ for the variety. Prices were fair. Parking is in the lot shared with Wendy's, and it can fill up when the market and nearby shops are busy. We came at night and had no trouble finding a spot. read more

Mango Pomelo Sago drink ($6.63) - It was okay but it felt like it was missing the fresh mango flavor. It tasted like 50% sugar level and would have been better if it was at 70%. It was creamy at first but the layers separate fast & it gets watered down. I do want to come back and try their other desserts another time! It's located in a plaza with a parking lot. You can order at the counter for dine in or take out. They have inside and outside seating. I opted for take out and my drink was ready in less than 5 minutes. read more

A Little Sweet in a Bitter World -- 4/5 Jiu Ji Dessert -- 9/8/26, 2:30 PM Stopped in on a Tuesday afternoon and the place was absolutely dead, which at least made seating uncomplicated. The interior is clean, bright and modern-minimalist, with green and yellow seating, white marble-pattern tables and decorative hexagonal wall lights. It has that polished contemporary Chinese dessert-shop look without trying too hard. The music was about 25% louder than necessary, particularly considering there were almost no customers present. Service was efficient and sincere. She was fairly reserved at first, but noticeably warmer and nicer toward the end, which left a better impression. I ordered the Snow Swallow with Taro Balls and Peach Gum in Coconut Milk (椰奶芋圆桃胶炖雪燕). This was easily the reason for the four stars. It was refreshing, light and nicely balanced without being excessively sweet. The coconut milk was mild and creamy, while the assorted chewy textures gave the dessert enough substance without turning it into a bowl of sugary cement. One wall announces: "The world is a little bitter. I want to give you a little sweet." A surprisingly philosophical mission statement for a shop serving taro balls in coconut milk, but after eating the dessert I suppose they fulfilled the assignment. Overall, Jiu Ji Dessert is clean, comfortable and offers a good, lighter-style Chinese dessert. The service ended on a genuinely pleasant note, and the dessert itself was the strongest part of the visit. A healthy 4/5. read more

I read some great reviews for Jiu Ji Dessert on Yelp. I have been in the Alhambra area regularly. Thought I swing on by to check out the dessert hype. It's a cute and cozy dessert shop located on Valley Blvd within the Valley Square shopping center. Parking is kinda plenty. If they get full, you can park right next door where 168 Supermarket is at and walk on over. They have a humongous parking lot. It's a walk up, order, pay, choose your table/seat, and sit/wait for the dessert(s) establishment. There were about 8 tables of 4 each. Restrooms are available in the back of the shop. Sweet nice young lady at the counter took my order. Since it was my first time here, I had to get their Signature Coconut Jelly Dessert Soup for $10 and Mango Pomelo Sago Drink for $7. I could have gotten the latter as a dessert... I'll get it that way next time. Prices are reasonable. Service was great. Wait time was a tad slow though. Lots of good quality and fresh ingredients in the dessert soup which I loved. Overall taste was wonderful. One small gripe, it wasn't cold or hot just room temperature. It wasn't sweet either which was surprising to me. I would have preferred a bit more sweetness. Size could have been a bit larger for the price. Mango pomelo sago drink was delicious! Two thumbs up!! While I was enjoying my dessert, there was nice Tawianese and Hispanic music playing in the background. Good vibes! Despite of my gripe, I still ordered one Signature Coconut Jelly Dessert Soup to-go for my Mom to try. The lady staff offered to give a small container of condensed milk to provide some sweetness. Thank you Miss! My Mom enjoyed it very much. It's definitely a top notch dessert spot for anyone who is craving authentic traditional Chinese desserts and drinks. Dessert hype confirmed. I'll definitely be back to try their other desserts and drinks. Can't wait! read more

This restaurant is located in a small plaza. There is parking, and extended parking structure in the back. They seemed to serve Hong Kong style dessert. Seating is self-served. We will have to order our desserts at the cashier. I ordered a coconut jelly dessert with mango, mango pomelo sago, and snow swallow peach gum and snow lotus seed. The server brought our dessert to us promptly. The desserts were tasty, and they are not overly sweet. All of our desserts were cold, so it was amazing on a hot day. We will be back again for more dessert. This place was packed, and line was long at one point. Be ready to wait in line if you come here after your meal. read more

Pretty legit new dessert shop! Love anything taro & yam ball related so I tend to beeline to these places. Went twice in one week already. Desserts are single person portioned and not overly sweet. Lots of coconut based desserts and more "healthier" options. Flavor was pretty on point too. Bought their SPECIAL the first time and it had "the works"~they allowed me to take out beans I don't like so that was nice. Jellies were chewy and everything blended together nicely. Went a second time and only bought the mango sago with less sugar and it was PERFECTLY REFRESHING. Mango was super sweet. If you go at night it can sometimes get super busy. No tables the first time I went but pretty empty during regular weekdays. Workers are always pretty polite and helpful. Parking lot also has reasonable parking. read more

This place has the BEST tong sui and such a big variety of it too!! This type of dessert is relatively niche for the area but it's SOOO good and also probably really annoying to make at home and source all the ingredients yourself. There's stuff like mango pomelo, black sesame soup, coconut milk base with your choice of ingredients, even drinks and fried food.... There's gotta be something for everyone! I LOVE peach gum and haven't seen it that often but here there's a whole menu section for it! It's a jelly texture and is full of collagen and is really good for you. Snow swallow sounds scary but think of it like vegan birds nest? Not quite sure what the health benefits are but I'm sure it does something. Snow Swallow with Taro balls and Peach Gum in Coconut Milk, cold ($9)-- Can't vouch for the hot version but the cold one is great!!! It's so refreshing with a good mix of textures. There's jelly from peach gum, silky from snow swallow, chewy from taro balls.... everything just works so well together. The coconut milk is blended with other things I think because it's not jarring like coconut milk straight out of the can. It's sweet but not too sweet. A perfect canto dessert!! Portion size is good for 1 person which makes it kind of pricey $9 for a small bowl .... But nowadays even boba is $7-8. And this is harder to find and has collagen and health benefits so I say it's worth! There's a big shared parking lot in the plaza so parking is easy. Inside is clean with lots of tables. Bathroom is clean. Overall definitely will be coming back :) read more

Best coconut jelly ever! The fresh coconut jelly is a must buy item at Jui Ji dessert. Here are a few reasons why Jui Ji is better than going to. Melo Melo or Coconut Jelly King for coconut jelly. 1. It served in a really cute coconut with their logo branded on it along with a tiny umbrella, like you're about to drink a cocktail. The coconut bowl causes you to feel like it was freshly made 2. Since my friend treated me, I am not sure if she chose the mango fruit or if the mango fruit automatically comes with the coconut jelly. However, the cut up pieces of mango fruit were large and sweet and perfect! Not a single chunk was sour nor full of fiber tendons. 3. The coconut jelly was light and smooth and full of coconut flavor, as good as Melo Melo or Coconut King. The coconut flavor did not taste like fake coconut syrup. But the menu does have a warning that there is dairy in the coconut jelly. read more

Updating my review bc the quality has been worse! I love going here but today the toast wasn't even cooked. I told the server and she was like oh it can't be cooked that much or it will be too fried. I'm like wdym I never had the inside of the toast sticky and exactly like a blob of uncooked dough. Then she said she will let the kitchen know and that was it. Seriously was with the service and quality?! read more

I really liked all the desserts here. First time having peach gum. I am indifferent about it but it was nice to try and I heard it has good health benefits. My favorite was the signature coconut jelly dessert. Coconut jelly was thick and milkier jelly. Lots of taro balls and other good surprises. I will say the peanuts was a little odd for me. I could do without it but if you like texture then it was a nice crunch to the softness of other bites. We also ordered fries and they were pleasantly good! I'm a huge fry conosseur so this place got a bonus point from me. They had spicy lemon chicken feet... which isn't what I was expecting from this place but I may have to try it. Sounds interesting. Other none dessert things for light bites. I overall felt the price was right. Parking is in the lot with Wendy's and can get crowded when the market and other businesses are open. Came at night and found plenty of parking read more

Visited last night with a friend and we got the mango sago coconut milk and sweet potato balls to share. I liked the sweet potato balls better, with a crispy exterior and the soft interior of a sweet potato filling. As for the mango sago coconut milk, it was very simple and the name is self explanatory. Just mangos, sago, and coconut milk. My friend and I had wished we got the fresh milk version, as we believe the flavor may have been more complex and satisfying than the lightness of the coconut milk they used. I would rate this experience closer to a 3.5 stars than a true 4 based on the items we ordered alone, but all the workers were super friendly so we can allow the service to bump it up. I'd be down to come back and give Jiu Ji another try. read more

Jiu Ji Dessert - Mango sago coconut milk and sweet potato balls - Desserts Near Me - Alhambra, California

I give this place an overall 3.5/4. Mango Black Jelly Coconut Milk: Nothing unique and particular, just mango and black jelly. The mango is sweet but very stringy. Signature Taro Balls and Grass Jelly: the staff recommended me this after knowing I was looking for something warm, but turns out they ONLY serve this COLD. Luckily the red bean, glutinous rice balls and sago, were warm, so it saved this dessert a bit. I asked for no peanuts. It came with another type of clear jelly, it was very sweet. I didn't really enjoy it. The glutinous rice balls look like they are store bought very uniform. The price itself is nice, but the portion/bowl is kind of small. But if you ordered something with glutinous rice or some sorts of carbs in there, you will still feel full. Service was just alright. When I caught the mistake that my dessert is served as cold on the receipt, I immediately went up but was told that they have started making my order already (only about a minute since I made my order). The place itself is very cute, got great decorations. We went on a Saturday night and they were super busy, but they make their orders SUPER fast. It would be EXTREMELY helpful if they can list out the ingredients so people know what they are eating, and which ones can be served as hot to avoid confusion. Overall, I think it is not a must visit place, but if you are in the area looking for Chinese dessert then it's one of the few places to try. read more

Stopped by on a Saturday night with a friend and this place was hopping! It's located in a plaza and there was ample parking spots but lots of traffic from the surrounding businesses. All tables inside were full but thankfully there were a few empty tables outside! It took us about 10 minutes to get to the front of the line to order and then it took about another 15 minutes to get our order. We got the Mango Pomelo Sago Soup, the Coconut Jelly Dessert, and the Red Bean Glutinous Rice. The Mango Sago was light, bright and refreshingly sweet! My favorite was the Coconut Jelly Dessert, which was full of yummy ingredients like mango, peanuts, beans and coconut jelly. The Red Bean with glutinous rice was ok-I've had better. This is a comfortable and clean place for yummy desserts. I will be back! read more

I've been longing for one of these dessert places since my last trip to Hong Kong, and I'm so glad to have stumbled upon it. Parking is fairly easy to find here, and the space inside is very spacious, bright, and relaxing. The staff were welcoming and patient while we were deciding our order, since some items were unique for us. We had their Signature Coconut Jelly Dessert Soup and Golden Buns with Condensed Milk. The dessert soup was indeed a treat with so many goodies inside. It's definitely on the pricier end but filled with so many unique toppings. My favorite was the heart-shaped goodie! The golden buns are a classic, and they were indeed tasty here, too. read more

Delightful desserts that are truly not too sweet. We tried the Mango Pomelo Sago and the Snow Swallow with Taro Balls and Peach Gum in Coconut Milk, and both were absolutely delicious.

The store can be very crowded especially at nights. But still highly recommended. Wish that they can do some work for the restroom at the back. Maybe they need to hire more staffs read more

Jiu Ji Dessert - $9 dessert - Desserts Near Me - Alhambra, California

First time coming here and will not be coming back, as I have been scarred. Checked out this place with friends due a friend's recommendation and the place looked really popular as there were lots of people. Unfortunately, the desserts here gave us the runs. Out of 5 of us, 4 got very sick shortly that night and the days after. TMI, but it was frequent trips to the restroom. We're pretty sure and deduced it was from the dairy-based desserts and drinks. I had the mango pomelo sago drink. Friend A ordered the mango pomelo sago drink and black sesame soup. Friend B ordered the mango sago. Friend C had the milk tea. And we all ended up with stomach issues. Friend D who didn't eat any milk-based items, only yashixiang lemon tea and some of Friend A's black sesame soup , was completely fine. We also ordered a signature coconut jelly dessert soup to-go for another friend when we were leaving, and they had no issues either. That's why we think it was the batch of milk used in our desserts that caused all of this. It honestly had us going to the bathroom for 2 days! If you're coming here, just be aware--you might end up spending a lot of time in the restroom like we did. read more

We got the Signature Taro balls and Grass Jelly. No peanuts, no beans, and no raisins. We added rice balls on the side. We were in it for the chewy fun textures. Service was as helpful as they could be, although we struggled a bit at first because we didn't speak fluent Chinese. It can be a very confusing experience because more than half the ingredients aren't listed and I had no idea what I was eating. Also, there was no grass jelly in our dessert. I was expecting cubes of what most of us would think grass jelly is. Except I got stringy clear jelly that was kind of crunchy and I think that's what they thought it was. Many things are lost in translation. Ambience is cute cafe with Chinese pop music playing lightly in the background. They were pretty busy when we arrived on a Saturday night. read more

Jiu Ji Dessert I stopped in here to try something refreshing and went with the mango pomelo sago. It was an okay dessert overall, but it definitely suffered from the fact that mangos are not in season right now. The fruit just wasn't that sweet or as flavorful as you'd want it to be, which made the whole dish feel a bit underwhelming. Even though this specific order was a bit of a miss, the rest of the menu looks pretty interesting. There are plenty of other desserts there that seem like they are worth a try, so I would probably come back to explore more of their traditional options when I'm in the mood for something sweet again. Good flavors but mango was not in season read more

Found this little gem after dinner one night and will definitely be coming back! They have a variety of Chinese desserts similar to Meet Fresh. Got the Signature coconut jelly dessert soup and something off the Peach Gum Series. The Signature Coconut Jelly Dessert Soup was my favorite and I was amazed by how many ingredients they put within the bowl. Unfortunately, I wasn't a fan of the Peach Gum series - probably because I wasn't use to the taste and texture of the peach gum. I initially wanted the black sesame dessert but they were sold out of it that evening. Hopefully they'll have it when I visit next time! read more

Long line on a Saturday! We got the jiu ji plus and the taro balls and grass jelly dessert to go. There was a long line ordering and it took a while. I think it's because the menu isn't super descriptive. There are 3 items that have a list of ingredients on a separate menu at the counter. They should list those ingredients on the menu because I have a feeling a lot of people ask "what's in the jiu ji plus?" And then they have to decide if the want to exclude ingredients and that slows down the line. After ordering it's about 15 min to get the order. When we were there the lady was yelling out order numbers only in Mandarin and it wasn't super loud so it's very easily missed if you're not hovering over the counter or speak mandarin! As for the desserts, they were pretty good. It's sweet and you can't adjust sweetness. I like the crunch the nuts give. We saved some for the next day but the taro balls become super hard so eat those the same day! I would come back to the mango ones. read more

The space isn't very big, but it's cute and cozy. Every visit feels like a chance to explore something new from the menu, whether dining in or grabbing it to go. This time, the Mango Sago in Coconut Milk was the pick, and the mango portion was impressively generous. The flavor hits that perfect balance of sweet with a slight tang. The staff are pretty chill and helpful when it comes to explaining items on the menu. They also have snacks and light meals that pair well with their drinks and desserts.

Stopped by Jiu Jiu Dessert in Alhambra last Thursday around 3 pm with a few friends and it was packed, which is always a good sign. Our server was super helpful and recommended the Mango Pomelo Sago and the Signature Coconut Jelly Dessert Soup. She also suggested the hot Taro Red Bean Sago with coconut milk. We ended up trying all three. All of them were perfectly sweet. Not overly sugary, just balanced and refreshing. The Mango Pomelo Sago was light and fruity, great for a warm day. The hot Taro Red Bean Sago with coconut milk was comforting and smooth, especially if you're craving something warm. But our favorite was definitely the Signature Coconut Jelly Dessert Soup. The texture of the coconut jelly with the creamy base just worked so well together. It stood out the most and is something I would come back specifically for. The ambiance was modern and clean, with soft Chinese pop music playing in the background. Even though it was busy, there was ample seating, so we didn't feel cramped. Parking can be a bit challenging since the lot is shared with a supermarket and other restaurants, so expect to circle around a bit during peak hours. Overall, a great dessert spot with solid recommendations from the staff. I'll definitely be back to try more from their menu. read more

Credit Card: They're accepted. Restroom: There a unisex restroom available to use. Location/Parking: Located in plaza on the NE corner of Valley and Vega. Parking is available in the share lot.

Located in a plaza next to a market and several other restaurants, Jiu Ji has delicious drinks and small snacks. I tried the mango pomelo milk tea (less sweet) and it was creamy, not too sweet, and delicious. The drink had bits of fresh mango and pomelo and sago. I was also told they use non-dairy milk for their milk teas. Also picked up an order of their golden buns with condensed milk on the side. They came out hot, and were a bit on the denser side than expected but overall, good fried dough. The taro milk tea lacked taro flavor but the Tremella Peach Gum & Snow Swallow In Coconut Milk (hot) was a great vegan warm dessert on a chilly day like today. Again, Jiu Ji is located in a plaza so parking was easy to find at 7pm on a Thursday night. read more

03/10/26 Tuesday It was pretty empty around 7 PM when we arrived. A modern Cantonese sweet soup (tong sui) and drink chain originating from Guangzhou, China. Very bright, clean, and new. Parking is plentiful in the plaza. We were craving dessert, but I wanted something warm. Thus, we stopped by for some hot taro sago. I was tempted to get their specialty dishes but stuck to taro red bean sago. My partner got cold milk mango sago. His mangos looked unripe and crunchy. Albeit, it's not mango season. 8/10 I liked my taro red bean sago but wish they would have taro chunks in there. Although the liquid is light, the glutinous rice balls (taro, sweet potato flavor) + sago filled me up. Not sure if the glutinous rice ball are handmade, but they looked very pretty and uniform so I assumed not. I would've liked the soup a little less sweet and more creamy but still pretty delicious nonetheless. I will say bowl size appears on the smaller side. However, because of the glutinous rice balls and sago, I was full after finishing the small bowl. The drinks seem a lot more with it value wise. Next time we will try the drinks! read more

I came here with a friend I met at a Twice (the band) event. She's originally from Taiwan, so she gave me suggestions. I enjoyed the mango pomelo sago. Nice and cold on a hot night! Actually, dessert is good anytime, anyplace, anywhere! Sometimes the parking can get crowded. read more
