    Wow! A friend of mine dropped off some snow skin mooncakes with me! Delicious and beautiful! Good bite size also! Oh wow! I would like to drop by for a visit!!!

    They sold me a molding cookie. Watch out.

    Super cute store and I was thrilled to come by. They had a lot of interesting specialty items that you typically won't find in a grocery store like flavored peanuts, beef chips from Las Vegas, Melo Melo coconut dessert from LA, uji time ice cream, etc. They also had a couple of Hello Kitty collab snacks and a small selection of plushies in the back. They have a case of baked goods by the register. They all looked so good and I wanted to try them all. I bought 3 things: -Furikake beef chips -Pistachio berry croissant -Ube White chocolate chip -unfortunately I didn't get to try this because it was completely molding from the back and starting to show in the front. Only have a photo of the front because I tossed it so fast after opening and seeing the multiple colored back. I called to let them know and they offered me a refund if I came back. At least they offered, I just didn't take it

    Too many goodies here! We are glad they they have melo melo- got 10 jars :-) also bought tong sui for comparison. The guy in the cashier is very helpful

    I was in around the area just casually browsing until I saw this super kawaii store front and I knew I had to stop by. Inside is an arrange of imported snacks for children AND adults. I feel like typical grocery stores have some Asian snacks but this place is Asian snacks galore. Probably not the best store for children to walk into without parental supervision. There were some snacks I was familiar with and other snacks that I've never heard of but sounded intriguing.

    A cute little snack store in Millbrae that I always walked by and was amused by the aesthetic of the store, but never went in to take a look. Definitely a nice part of Millbrae considering there's several schools nearby and it's a great place to buy plenty of Asian snacks. They also change their items here and there especially on the front shelf. Before I saw bunch of Sanrio bouquets on the shelf and now it's Pockys and snack boxes. I had to get myself a bottle of Ramu and it's always a nostalgic drink for me growing up in an Asian household. The decor of this store is great and customer service is passable. The Kaws wall art is also pretty cool. Not a whole lot to say other than a great place to also take kids to when you are in the heart of downtown Millbrae.

    I found out about this place because of batch22 cookies as they sell their pudge cookies here! This cute snack shop offers a lot of unique snacks, candy, gifts, drinks, and pasties/deserts (cookies, fruit mochi, coconut pudding from melo melo, cakes). A lot of the items are from local small businesses as well. I always have a wonderful time checking out their new items and leave with a bag full of goodies! The workers are always super friendly! They even offer samples of their items as well such as the pastries and the candy. This time around I wanted to get their freeze dried candy, however it seemed very popular as most of the items were gone. Luckily they had samples that I could try still, so I really appreciate them for offering me some samples! I like the idea of being able to try a bunch of different flavor KitKats without having to commit to a whole bag. They have jars of candy for you to pick the flavors you want. Love going here!

    Great variety of quality sourced desserts and snacks from local / small business vendors. Most fresh desserts are delivered Friday/Saturday.

    Never been to LA, but always wanted to try Melo Melo? ... you might want to keep reading. This new cute little snack store located in DT Millbrae carries a variety of curated artisan snacks and drinks. They also have a lot of goods from businesses all over California like Neighborhood Bakehouse, Mackbox Desserts, Batch 22 Bakery, MommyLAs, and all the way from LA - Melo Melo! If you didn't know, Melo Melo is a popular dessert spot in SoCal and they specialize in coconut pudding - not just any coconut pudding, but some of the softest and most fragrant pudding you'll have. Similar to Tong Sui in NorCal. Although it is on the pricier side (prices are a little inflated), I still highly recommend giving it a try! Not sure if it'll be on their shelves for long! There were a lot of popular snacks that I've seen and haven't seen before. Definitely have to pay another visit to scout for new snacks and .. maybe buy all the Melo Melo off the shelves AHAHAHHA. You better go before I beat you to the fridge! 02.04.2023 | Saturday @3:30pm

    Snacks. Snacks. And more snacks. All different kinds of chips, cookies, etc. Mostly popular Asian snacks. It's a small-mid to size place. I wouldn't go out of my way to come here, but if you're nearby and looking to replenish your snack stash, then this would be the place. Don't know if there's a school nearby or not, but if there is, I'd imagine it would be packed with kids after school. It was pretty jammed with kids when I came by this weekend. I left with a couple of boxes of Pocky Sticks and chips. Because you just can't walk away from a place like this empty handed, even if you tried.

    Individual KitKats from Japan!

    Super cute, well-organized, snack store and bakery! Love this place, hope it does well! They have a great selection and price. This is a good treat yourself store or for unique snack gifts. Interesting Finds - Snacks from asia & europe! - Individual KitKats from Japan! Now you can try them all - Hokkaido Milk Cake - Aero bubble chocolate - Honey Butter Seaweed packs - Cookies and cakes from local bakeries (like batch22)

    So many cute snacks and things. Good thing I didn't take my kids. Bought the mango melo melo with purple rice. Finished within 5 minutes of opening The prices are decent compared to Asian markets. I'll try the pastries next time

    A cute little spot that offers a variety of snacks! There are bunch of asian snacks including drinks, candies, and ice creams. Aside from that, they also have a bunch of local pastries and desserts available. One of my favorites was the jar of individual KitKats but in various unique flavors. Some of the prices are a bit high but it is kind of worth it if the item is hard to find or get. They have only two small tables for seating. Service was very friendly and prompt.

    Pistachio pastry
    Helen L.

    They had me "would you like a sample of the pastries?" Of course! They had Neighbor Bakehouse in SF on Third St. bakery's pastries! No lines. How lucky for Millbrae! My friend got the last hazelnut chocolate. I think we were captured by the whole crunchy hazelnut. Can you believe, that after one day the pastry is still crunchy! Woo wee. I'm so glad none of these places are near me. I would be the star in the Whale movie (in real lifel, reality show). I got the pistachio raspberry pastry. Get to the center to taste the raspberry (very little) but it had some almond paste. It's the roasted pistachio and crunchiness that gets to me. This store has all kinds of Asian snacks, puddings, and cakes. I was too busy savoring the bite-sized samples, or else there would have been more pictures.

    Lots of local snacks as well as imported.

    Diamond Head General Store is a like a touch of Hawaii in the Bay Area with hawaiian based snacks,…read moredrinks, even frozen Zippy meals available for purchase! They also serve hot food if you're looking for a bite to eat. Interior has some seating inside with a grocery store kind of feeling. No outdoor seating available. Parking is limited to street parking. A few notes: * Not everything in the store is labelled with prices * Hot food was pretty average in my opinion * Price vs value wasn't great in terms of quality of food Onto the hot food: * butter mochi - definitely the best thing we ordered here! Chewy buttery and soft in texture. Don't skip this. * garlic shrimp- this was recommended by the cashier but it was quite lacking in depth of flavor with the primary taste just being garlic. No spice, nothing special to stand out. After a while the sauce gets tiring. Mac salad was prominently peppery but bland in both texture and flavor. * Mochiko chicken - Not bad, crunchy battered chicken. Interior of the chicken was juicy but lacking in that distinct strong sweet savory that mochiko chicken is known for. Again, the mac salad was a letdown. Overall, the food was quite average especially for the price point. I can think of two places in SJ with better Hawaiian food for half the price.

This place met everything I was looking for: plenty of parking (inside Burlingame Plaza), near SFO, efficient service, and high ratings. When my daughter and I arrived a little before 5:30pm, they were already pretty full. By the time we left, a little after 6pm, there're people waiting at the door. We got seated right away. Service was minimal. We helped ourselves to the pitcher of water on the table. After looking at the menu on the table, we placed our order by scanning a QR code. Since we're not too hungry. We ordered one appetizer and one noodle dish to share. The special mix salad came pretty quickly. We ordered "less spicy", and it had the perfect amount of heat. All the ingredients tasted fresh and the dish had a bit of everything we wanted to try. I liked the tofu skin the best, and my daughter loved the crunchy cucumber. It would be even better if they included lotus roots as well. It took a little while for the house special beef noodle soup (less spicy) to arrive, but it was totally worth the wait. It came piping hot. The broth was very flavorful, with the right amount of red pepper. It wasn't oily at all. The beef was super tender. I loved the texture of the noodles, and the beef to noodle ratio was not bad. A really solid dish. Would love to come back again to try their other dishes, especially their xiao long bao.
