We came here on Saturday night around 8:30 after dinner and waited 10 minutes for a table. It was easy to find parking on the street as well around this time. This is my third time at Snack Shot. I love their tofu dessert. It's so velvety. There is option to pair with other dessert as well and add toppings but I opted for the plain one with ginger sugar syrup. It's just like how I had it when I was a kid. They have a lot of nostalgic desserts and savory snacks. The interior has a retro Hong Kong diner vibe. Each dessert is around $10 and the portion size is decent. Remember to ask for their stamp card to score some free desserts.
They offer Hong Kong style desserts here and the interior is decorated to match their theme. They have a wall of mahjong tiles which is quite cool. The desserts were alright - nothing special about them. The wait time was quite long when we went on a weeknight. There was a QR code at the table, and the server only set down the desserts and never checked on us. We had to get up and pay at the cash register. The suggested tip option for the service was much greater than the service provided. I had previously tried their mahjong tiles and it didn't taste good to me so I won't be ordering them again. They were Instagram-able but that was the only special factor about it.
I have visited this place plenty of times and service has always been quick and efficient. The team members are happy to make suggestions - and are good with describing there offerings. They normally have some classic Hong Kong (Cantonese music) playing - but there have been times, where they'd be rocking out to KPOP. I love the tofu pudding and black sesame here - the mango desserts are also very delicious -
First time checking out Snackshot Kingsway but have been to their original location on Granville. It's across the street from Peachy Peachy. We dropped in on a Friday evening (9:30pm). No wait for a table. Not much in terms of service. There's a minimum charge of $6.00/person. - Grass jelly sago in coconut milk (J3) ($8.95) - grass jelly had a chewy texture with slightly herbaceous note. - Mango grapefruit sago (J5) ($9.50) - standard. - Ube sago in coconut milk (J8) ($9.50) - added grass jelly ($1.50) and homemade taro balls ($2.50). Had a couple spoonfuls; plain. Decent HK desserts but pricier than other spots in the area. Doesn't beat Fresh Legend.
I love the decor in this place. So many cute little things, cool neon lights, and a huge mahjong tile wall. I ordered a Ribena slush, but it wasn't very good. It had a really strange aftertaste and the initial taste also wasn't giving. I don't think I would order a drink from here again. But I had a small sip of my friend's taro dessert, which was really good. I'd definitely like to comeback to try their other sweet soup desserts! Service was fine. They have a lot of fine print though.. More than $6 per person for dine in and you're not allowed to split bills.
Stopped by quite late at night, and it was quite crowded at about 9-10 p.m. I was only on the mood for savory food so I got the chicken balls, but it was much smaller than expected. The picture on the menu is a bit misleading because of the angle. It's not worth the price of $9.95, same goes for the shrimp balls. However, the snack combo is more worth it. The curry and peanut sauce are great and you get ricerolls, siumai and fishballs for $11.95. Overall, I don't feel as satisfied but this place is better known for their sweet desserts. I'll try the peach gum next time...
Decent but overpriced HK style dessert shop on Kingsway. Parking is available on Kingsway, as well as the side streets. The inside is supposed to remind people of old school Asian neon signs. They do a half decent job of it. The new signs are lit by LEDs though. Staff are friendly but a bit slow. Had to wave them down a few times. As mentioned before, the pricing is a few bucks more than the competition. The mango slushie I had was pretty decen though. I didn't try the other stuff (red bean, peanut etc.) so can't really comment. If the HK stuff is what one is looking for, this is the place to be. For the Taiwanese style stuff, to be honest there are plenty of similar places along the same stretch of Kingsway.
Came on a quiet night and had a good time at snackshot with friends. Got the tofu pudding again and it was solid. The ginger syrup is quite nice!
I had expectations coming here because I had heard so much about it! The ambiance here is definitely 5/5 and it feels like you're transported into a dessert shop in Asia. The downside is that the service was very very slow (granted all the tables were seated that night). When you sit down you order your food through their site and the order gets sent to the kitchen. We didn't hear anything from our server inbetween and had to check in on our order after it not coming for 20 minutes. Then the tofu pudding came but was missing the syrup it was supposed to come with and it wasn't for another 20 minutes until the glutinous rice dessert came. I requested it cold but that wasn't available either so it came hot. Overall ambiance was good, food was ok and service was lacking.
Came here for some Chinese desserts. I got the redbean vitasoy drink with vanilla ice cream. I thought the vanilla ice cream would be on top of the drink. Unfortunately it was on the side. I also tried their fish balls. The redbean vitasoy drink was tasty. The price was definitely not cheap given the drink and a scoop of ice cream before tax $10.75. The fish balls were ok. The decor of the place was very interesting. They tried to comeoff as an old Chinese authentic style hang out place. The place is definitely Instagram worthy. The biggest con that I have about this place is that it is very loud and seating are very limited. If you are here with a friend trying to have a nice conversation, this may be very difficult. They have another location on Granville street. The Kingsway location is way smaller than the Granville location.
Super friendly and attentive staff and owner. Cute decor and chill vibe. Cool for dates or by yourself and family friendly as well. Not the biggest place but quite a few tables, but it does get busy fast. Take outs available. Street parkings and bus at walkable distance. Lots of options from sweet desserts (cold/hot), drinks, to savoury appetizers/small bites. Clean space and washroom available. Tasty food and really fun night!
Plenty of seating and each table is separated with a plexiglass. It wasn't busy when we stopped by for dessert. The tables have a QR code to scan to put in your order. We decided on the dessert platter, which had a variety of desserts. There was cashew paste, green bean soup, almond paste, black sesame paste, tofu pudding, red bean soup, peanut mochi, black rice, and walnut paste. This is definitely something to share with probably 3 people. My favourites were the almond, black sesame, and peanut mochi. The tofu pudding was quite bland. I wish it had a ginger syrup served with it. It also felt a bit too repetitive with so many nut pastes. It was good that some desserts were sweet, while others were less. Overall, the decor is cool but the dessert was just alright.
Was in the area for dinner and stopped by for dessert we ordered the half order of their mahjong dessert and a taro sago pudding in coconut milk the mahjong dessert is made of red bean and coconut pudding. not just cute but really enjoyed the texture of the pudding. Also fun with the edible money The flavor of the taro sago pudding was very good. But the taro came in one large chunk. i personally prefer if the taro were cut into smaller pieces read more

Great HK style desserts and drinks. This location was close to where we were staying as we tried the other location before. The service was excellent as they helped bring towels and paper when the soda drink fizzled over the table. read more
Snackshot has quick service and great ambiance that reminds you of old Hong Kong. However, the chicken balls are not great, they are not like the kind you occasionally find at dimsum but rather like the reheatable kind at Costco. I attached a picture of the chicken balls read more

Due to COVID? they are serving everything in takeout containers which was a bit strange. You can order through an app by scanning a QR code. They have quite a variety of desserts like tofu pudding and mango pomelo sago etc. I tried an ube sago with taro balls and ube ice cream. I remember their portions were a bit bigger before at the Granville St. location when they were serving them in actual bowls? Otherwise the taste was good. Everyone else enjoyed their desserts too and it was a nice place to chill at night. read more

Wow. The aesthetics in this shop are next level. Everything from the decor down to the food itself. Snackshot focuses on Hong Kong style desserts and it delivers both in terms of looks and taste. Its hip and trendy looks don't detract from the authenticity of the items served, but you'll certainly be paying for the novelty factor as prices are high for these kinds of dessert. The vitasoy and red bean slush combines two classic HK drinks into one super refreshing concoction. You can customize the sweetness level, but I recommend normal sweetness since the soy milk itself is only lightly sweetened. I liked the inverted bottle as the soy milk evenly dispersed into the drink as you drank. The mahjong tiles were good and had a nice coconut flavor paired with subdued notes of red bean, but let's be real, you're getting it for the gram. And for that it's worth the splurge, but there are better choices for the belly. read more

HK style desert place, famous of their platter include 9 kind of desert combination, good for more 4-6 people to try. Warm service, waiters very patient explaining the dishes, they also has created a web page for the platter so you can easily check out for the flavors. Generally good experience, will come to try other deserts next time. read more

literally why do they charge so much for toppings and serve it as if theyre rationing like.... if youre charging 2.50 for taro balls GIVE 2.50 WORTH theres literally 9 taro balls in this bowl. ALSO 1.50 for literally 22 pearls... at bubble tea shops they charge a dollar for pearls for 5 times the amount. im baffled bye also THIS WAS 12.50. the restaurant was cute tho love the lights :p read more

This place is great for dessert. I got the taro sago dessert and it was quite scrumptious and filling. Not to sweet, and has a very refreshing taste. Also cool decorations around the store, feels very welcoming and unique. read more
