A very nostalgic old Hong Kong decor dessert spot offering many authentic Hong Kong style desserts. Their expansive menu includes traditional hot dessert such as red bean soup, black sesame and almond paste. And also the more modern cold desserts such as mango, ube sago and even grass jellies. We opt to order their ube trio and it was heavenly. It had an authentic and strong ube taste. The sagos were cooked just right with the perfect texture and most importantly, it wasn't too sweet. We also ordered their instagram worthy mahjong tiles which is essentially red bean and coconut pudding. It's very cute and definitely instagram worthy. It's not too sweet and I liked that it came with a side of red bean sauce which made it less dry. The money is also made of edible paper but we didn't touch it cuz it felt weird eating it. However, it wasn't anything special and we wouldn't order it again. It was quite busy when we arrived on a Friday night but it's much easier to go in a smaller party. We were a party of 2 and walked right in even though others were waiting because they needed a bigger table. The place is clean and service was fast. They don't have a time limit even though they are busy so it's a great hang out spot. We would definitely be back to try out other items they have to offer. read more

It's a nice place for Asian dessert. They also have some Hong Kong style snacks and Asian dim sum I have yet to try. I like getting their tofu dessert though. And right now (not sure until when) they have a giant sandpit installed in the middle of their store. If you spend $25, you get to play with their toy excavator. And if you collect over 30g of gems, you can spin the wheel and win prizes. (Big prize = $20 coupon) Great for keeping kids and adults that are still kids at heart (myself included), happily occupied. read more

Quite pricey for something that isn't expensive to make. The bowls are big but the taste is quite dilute. I got the coconut saigo with ube ice cream and ube paste. Ice cream was good. The taro and sweet potato balls had no flavor to them. I prefer the ones at the taiwanese shops. There's lots of parking nearby and it's open late. read more

Decent Asian style dessert place on Granville and 64th. Parking is plentiful on Granville, as well as the side streets. The place has that HK theme going, with the fancy wallpaper that I imagine would evoke memories of times past. Staff are friendly. They have stuff like bubble tea, as well as sweet soup. The signature dish here is the mahjong style pudding. I remember seeing people post it online when the place first opened. The sweet soup is pretty good. Not too sweet, and it looks like they use real fruit, which is nice. Wouldn't mind coming back at some point. Recommended. read more

I came here for the Mahjong tiles dessert and enjoyed the experience. It is a bit pricey for what you get, but hey, you are paying a premium for the uniqueness and the presentation. Aside from the mahjong tiles, they do offer a variety of Cantonese sweet soup desserts that is a beloved classic. The mahjong tiles were 28.88CAD featuring 13 mahjong tiles, red bean sauce, and 2 edible rice paper that had a USD and HKD bill. I found it interesting that they did not do a CAD bill instead, since we are in Canada, but I digress. The mahjong tiles are red bean coconut pudding that were pretty refreshing, and the red bean sauce is not too sweet, my favorite type of sweetness. The aesthetics of this place features some wall art and some displays, perfect to look at while you briefly wait for the dessert. Overall, this is a pretty cool place and I would be open to going again to try the classic Cantonese desserts, but for most people that visit and on limited stomach space, definitely first go for the mahjong tile set! read more

With a large Hong Kong population, it's relatively easier to find HK-style desserts in Vancouver. Snackshot serves a variety of modern and traditional dessert soup. Every corner reminds me of HK here. Definitely a vibe to dine on a mahjong table in front of a mahjong wall. The storefront is clean and spacious, nicely decorated with neon signs and miniature display case. The traditional dessert soup were good enough to cure our homesick. The snack combo was my go-to street snack back in HK. I could finally satisfy my fish siu mai craving here. read more

Six months ago, we visited this dessert place in the afternoon. We ordered the snack combo and homemade red bean coconut pudding mahjong tiles. The mahjong tiles are so IG-able. The tiles were made with coconut and red bean gelatin, and the edible paper money was made out of rice paper. So cute! The snack combo came with curry fish balls, fish paste siu mai, and rice rolls with peanut butter and soy sauce. All three were delicious and reminded me of the street food in HK. Hope to try other stuff here next time! read more

Made of layers of coconut & red bean jello it was actually very yummy. The money ($100 USD & $1,000 HKD bills) were made of rice paper & tasted like it.

This is an interesting place for dessert. Ambiance: Fun interior with wall covered with Hong Kong memories on one side and small niches of miniature dioramas of kitchen, food etc on the other. I'm surprised Covid setup is still in place with acrylic panels between tables. Desserts served are very Asian in style and taste. Had the Mango Grapefruit Sago, Grass Jelly with Coconut Milk and Sago, Taro Coconut milk and Sago. The coconut items may be good for those who are watching their sugar, definitely not too sweet. Will come back to try other items. read more

Sometimes, social media makes you buy things. This was probably one of them. I didn't see an ad like I did with the Ramen Bae toppings I bought a few months ago. However, one of the people I follow posted a reel of this place. The mahjong set was a work of art! I had to check it out and see if it was as tasty as it was pretty. They open at 3, so even though I was in the area, I had to wait a few hours. There is no parking in front, however, there are a few side streets that have a lot of parking available. I got there right when they opened and a few other people joined shortly thereafter. Even before sitting down, I placed my order, so I could peruse the menu while waiting. Sounds back asswards, I know. But, this dessert takes a little time to make, so it worked out. The dessert came out and it was just as cool as I've seen in all the pictures. The money is edible rice paper and the tiles are made with red bean and coconut jelly. It also comes with a dipping sauce, but I rarely used it. It's probably best if this is a shared dessert, however being that it was only me on this trip, and I would have other things to eat later that night, I powered thru and finished the whole thing by myself. LOL! Seemed like there was only 1 person working during that time, but she was a sweetheart. Lots of tables, but since I came early, I'm not sure if it would be enough during busy nigh read more

Snackshot is such a fun spot with both traditional and trendy Hong Kong desserts. I have had this place bookmarked for the longest time, waiting for the day I would finally make my way to Vancouver (after my trip got cancelled bc it was planned for right when the pandemic started)! We tried the - tofu pudding which you can get hot or cold with either ginger syrup or a regular sugar syrup! It had such a soft silky texture - mango grapefruit sago was delicious and not too sweet (IYKYK) - ferrero rocher smoothie which tasted exactly like it and was actually quite good!! - mahjong tiles were made of red bean and coconut pudding with edible rice paper dollar bills on the side!! I thought this was such a fun dessert and was good to try, but not my fave of the bunch They're open late so this is a great spot to grab dessert and hangout! I wish they had a spot like this in the Bay Area bc I would definitely be here often to try all their other items read more

For casual-hip Hong Kong style desserts I'd highly recommend visiting a Snackshot in Vancouver. They have a couple of locations and this one is conveniently located on Granville close to the Richmond/Van border. It's casual and family friendly but at the same time a fun date destination after dinner for all age groups. Checkout their refreshing drinks. Our group loved the signature mah jong red bean coconut jelly dessert and even tried bites of the HKD and USD cash made of rice paper. Owner came out to say hey and introduce himself, he's from HK and puts his heart into the menu and atmosphere here. He's having a tonne of fun running the place you can tell. By the end of the night the place was packed! read more

I was craving for hk dessert and decided to give it a try. It's a small place on the side of the street. I don't think there's any parking in front of the place so we did street parking. When you step inside, you see a wall full of iconic pictures of Hong Kong. We ordered the fish sui mai and the tofu pudding dessert. They're all pretty good, kind of what you expected. The snack combo though, man , the paper and the sticks used to eat really reminded me of hk. If I ever come back, I probably want to come back and try other things. Service is nice. read more

I came here to try the mahjong dessert and was not disappointed, though I will admit it was a bit pricy. My party of 3 came Sunday afternoon around 4 pm and it was completely empty when we arrived. I knew exactly what I wanted, so it took us zero time to order. The mahjong set comes with 13 pieces of coconut and red bean pudding and two pieces of edible rice paper, all for $23.88. After tax and tip, it came out to ~$28. Pretty pricy when you think about what you're getting... However, I think it was worth it to try at least once! We were all super impressed with how realistic each piece looked, and the coconut + red bean flavors were good without being too sweet. The rice paper looked nice but was completely bland (as expected), so that was the only part of the dessert we didn't finish. Overall I really enjoyed my experience here. I'll be back to try their other desserts if I ever find myself in the South Granville area again! There's plenty of free street parking nearby. read more

If you're looking for a place with cute snacks and interior, Snackshot is the place to go. I've been wanting to try the Mahjong Tiles because who doesn't love mahjong? The Mahjong Tiles are a blend of coconut and taro pudding, which comes with a taro dipping sauce for more flavor. The paper money includes both a $100 U.S. bill and $100 Canadian bill. The paper money is made of edible rice paper, which doesn't taste like anything. The interior gives off major Hong Kong cafe vibes and I would come back to try more snacks here. read more

This place is just flat out creative. The desert ain't bad but it's the gimmick that really impressed me. Mahjong dessert - it's made with coconut pudding and it taste great, but just the idea was extraordinary. Yes, I paid too much for that dessert but it's worth it. The vita soy milk red bean ice is such a creative ideas and taste great too! Some of the dessert is not much different than others but the creativity stands out and make it very entertaining. I do think you need to be from HK and experienced the 70s and 80s to appreciate it though read more

This was on my sister's and I must try place in Vancouver, so we had to make plans to come here. There hours are a little inconvenient for those that doesn't want to stay out late... Anyways, we wanted to try a lot of things here and is probably going to come back, but our main focus for this trip was the Mahjong tiles. They were a little pricy in my opinion but I think it's still worth it. It comes with the rare combo that you can get in the real game of mahjong and two $100 bill (american and canada). What amazes me is that everything was edible! the bills were made from rice paper and the tiles are like the vietnamese jello (rau cau). It's coconut and taro flavor. It also comes with taro dipping sauce. I love how it looks pretty real and it taste pretty good as well. With COVID, it doesn't seem to be as busy as i thought they would be but we didn't have to wait so that was a bonus for us. Overall, a 4 star for now, with a potential to be a 5 when I come back! read more

There are not too many places around that serves freshly made tofu. Most of the time I come here or iTofu in Richmond. I am a sucker for a nice hot bowl of tofu dessert since I was a kid. Besides tofu desserts they have quite a selection of Hong Kong or southern China style desserts. The seatings are a bit tight and the atmosphere is very casual with an old Hong Kong theme and 80s Cantonese music playing on the background. Orders can be done through your smart device by scanning its QR code. Here were what I ordered this time around; 1. Hot tofu dessert with sweet ginger sauce. Very nice! Freshly made, nice silky smooth texture and hot. 2. Tofu dessert with peach gum. Nice generous portion of peach gum. Overall, I tried pretty much their entire menu from both locations. The service quite casual but very courteous and friendly. One of the better places for a quick dessert or share some laughters and desserts with some friends. Always a repeat for me! read more

Snackshot has alway been on the top of my desert priority list, so when the opportunity came up I jumped at it! Upon arriving we were seated right away since it wasn't too busy. Menus and ordering is all done via QR code which is great for people that are introverts like me! My GF got the Ice cream GJ Sago and I ordered the Viatasoy with red bean. We decided to get the Mahjong to share. When our order came we were not disappointed with the presentation! The Mahjong looked too good to eat but we had to dig in since I have only heard nothing but good things about it. The "game pieces" were very tasty and a great consistency. it went well with the dip. The edible money was also a bonus but didn't have much if any flavour as expected. The Ice cream sago was also good but my favourite was the Vitasoy with red bean! The presentation is really cool with the upside down bottle which reminded you of your childhood (for those who grew up with Vitasoy!) Overall we came with high expectations and empty stomachs for desert and we came out happy and full! Snackshot definitely didn't disappoint and lived up to its reputation! read more

This is a 3.5 stars review, but I rounded up because I like the variety on the menu. It's ambitious. Snackshot is a dessert place full of Hong Kong style desserts and some savory options. From the excitement of the other reviews, I had high expectations. Alas, it didn't blow my mind like I hoped. This place should be a 5 stars, but it's not. The food is good, but not great. For all the dishes I had, I have had better or maybe equal. So, "like" but not like-enough. Tofu Pudding (Tofu fa) with ginger sauce - 4 stars. This is a good but not great dish. I liked it, but it's not as smooth or fine as at least one other place nearby. (Message me if you want to know where to go) Mango Trio - 3 to 3.5 stars. Fresh mango sago in coconut milk with mango ice cream - This is also a good but not great dish. There isn't enough mango flavor. Maybe because it's not mango season; maybe there's too much coconut milk. Vitasoy Milk with Red Bean Bulldog - 3 stars, maybe even a 2 stars. The menu had exactly this title, but I'm quite certain there's coconut milk in it. I did NOT like the combination of coconut milk and Vitasoy milk even though I normally like Vitasoy milk a lot, especially in the bottled form. This was a disappointment. Snack Combo - Rice Rolls, Siu Mai, Fish Balls (curry) - 4 stars. The rice rolls and sui mai were spot on. I wasn't crazy about the fish balls. It's supposed to be curry flavor, but it doesn't taste quite like any curry I know. The place was filled with Chinese customers with a line out the door. I guess the popularity is still ongoing. read more

This place is super cute. Like uberly cute! From the decors on the walls to the delicate designs on the desserts. I was intrigued by their mahjong set dessert (limited quantity to 15 per day) with their edible "money/bill". If that is not something you want, they have other yummies such as a tasting platter, tofu pudding, street snacks and drinks. We opted for a cold ube sago and a "purple lover" dessert to-go. It was just perfect; just the right amount of sweet for us and totally hit the spot for the night. Next time, I will bring some friends and try their sweet soup tasting platter. Also, not a bad late night, date night spot. They open late, debit card/cash only, parking on the street and yes- they do take-outs. If you plan to dine in, a minimum of $6 charge per person. read more

I've been hearing good things about this place but haven't gone. Well I finally got to try this place with some friends. We first had dinner next door and came here after for dessert. We came just in time as there was a table available for us. Once we sat down and about to order, a flood of people arrived and there was a huge line-up. One friend got the wooden tofu pudding, another got the vitasoy bulldog drink, and another got the black sesame. I was full from all the food/skewers of meat from next door restaurant that I only got the Mango Trio. If we didn't eat so much food before, we might have gotten some of the other special items such as mahjong tiles, tasting platter, etc. It was good. The place is bright and I love the decor. it is very welcoming and cute and you can't help but to smile while inside. The service is quick and staff are pleasant. read more

Instead of doing another 10-pull in my favorite gacha grab I decided the mahjong desert set was the better deal instead. Turns out I was right. Snackshot thrived because it have the never ending flow of customers. Long operating hours, and also expansive menu that puts all the bay area Chinese sweet scene to shame (not like there are much other than Meet fresh and Sweethoney ) All the desserts was simple and no frills except for the obvious instagram purposed ones. My party of five shared a variety of desserts from the mango sago, sessame and almond paste, to the mahjong red bean tile set. Everything was at it's right sweetness. Not overpowering but just enough for the tongue. The online ordering was a little pain in the butt to use but it ain't bad once you get used to it. The casual feel of this store invites a very chill vibes for all the customers here. I would maybe bring out a deck of cards next time. read more
