Honestly a great trip down memory lane! I took my parents here while we visited Vancouver on a trip and they LOVED IT. My dad grew up in Hong Kong so the place decorated with models, antiques, and HK Flavor in general really brought out authenticity. The deserts were fresh and tasted just like we remembered in HK. If you're looking for a place with great HK style desserts, this is it. Also, they have limited quantities of the mahjong dessert but it's a great snack for groups and newcomers! Definitely recommending to friends who visit Vancouver. read more

Popped by here after we were next door at the meat up, for some dessert. Extensive menu for Chinese desserts. You'll be sure to find something here. I zero'd in on 3 things on this menu. Tofu fa, taro tapioca in coconut milk and sesame sticky glutinous balls in ginger syrup. Who can decide??! You can have many of these desserts hot or cold. Perfect right? We decided on the taro tapioca which is one of my all time favourites. The taro is scooped into a ball so you have to stir it in to break it up. Yum yum yum We chose against the sticky balls this time and went with the sesame tofu fa. It's served for 2 people (but fed 3 of us) for $15. Comes with simple syrup and sesame sauce and rock sugar so you can adjust to your own liking. I didn't taste much without anything added which I was a little disappointed. However once you add some sesame paste and simple syrup it's sooo good! It's a lot of fun to shave your own slices of tofu as well. Can't wait to come b read more

Love this place! Everything from the cute decorations - those miniature sets of yesteryear Hong Kong to the Canto pop oldies karaoke to the delicious dessert. We originally went to the dessert place across the street, but turns out that place specializes in durian and mango, and there's not much else beyond that. As a few in the group are not fans of the stinky king of fruit, we decadently decided on round 2 of after dinner dessert at Snackshot, So glad we did!! This dessert shop has an extensive selection of desserts: hot or cold, traditional or modern, it's hard to pick one. They do have a sampler of 9 desserts, but as there are enough of us we decided to pick a few we all like and share. Highly recommend the steamed milk custard. Worth the wait, especially as it means that it's freshly made to order. So soft and smooth. We like the cashew soup too, though for the walnut soup, roasting the nuts more should give it a more robust flavor. 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

I have heard about this place long time ago on local website etc. So... today, I finally got a chance to check this place out. I came here with a friend and we were pretty lucky. We got a seat right away. After sitting down, I looked around and I noticed a lot of people ordered the sweet soup tasting platter or one of the three options of the tofu pudding. we got the black sesame tofu pudding and it came with 3 different types of sugar/toppings. The black sesame tofu wasn't super smooth. Texture was a bit rough but that was probably because it was made out of black sesame. The cost of the dessert was $16 + tax. It wasn't bad and it was meant be shared between two people. I liked the fact that it had a cute stamped panda picture on the tofu dessert. Decor was pretty interesting. I am guessing it was trying to portray the old Hong Kong culture. Overall, I would come back. read more

I love this place for the decor which captures many aspects of growing up in Hong Kong in the 70's and 80's.

Wow, I didn't know this place existed and I'm glad they finally have a thriving business in this corner as someone who has lived in Marpole their whole life. It's a beautiful space with the walls painted with the cityscape of Hong Kong. Come and fulfill your HK dessert fantasies. We tried so many delicious deserts and I would go back in a heartbeat for their iced mango sago dessert. My order was the ube (purple yam) sago in hot coconut milk and it was so delicious. The taro sago in coconut milk is less sweet than the ube but still delicious! I was not a fan of tofu fa (tofu with ginger syrup) but I dislike ginger a lot so if you DO like ginger, eat this. The red rice dessert was also good but super filling, and a little more hearty compared to the ube and taro sago in coconut milk. They have this special order (about $20) and it looks like Mahjong! The mahjong pieces look sort of mochi-ish and they have edible money! They only make a certain number per day but it looked so beautiful and intricate. read more

Snackshot has been on D's list to try for ages but apparently, it's always busy. We decided to give it a try on a Thursday night around 9:30pm. The place was full! Lucky, we had called ahead; they promised to put our name on the top of the list once we showed up. We only had to wait for about 10 minutes for a table to open up. The inside is small but has some cute decor especially the wall mimicking old school Hong Kong streets. The menu has sweet soup, specialty desserts, street snacks and specialty drinks. There was also a summer only crispy milky bun x ice cream sandwich. - All of the above combo (E4) ($6.95) - curry fish and fish balls, siu mai and rice rolls. Perfect to snack on. Siu mai was pretty bland but curry fish was tasty and rice rolls satisfactory. - Sweet soup tasting platter (S2) ($22.95) - you get 9 different types of hot and cold Asian desserts. From top left, green bean, red bean, walnut paste, black glutinous, tofu pudding, red date & longan, cashew paste, black sesame paste and almond paste. I'm not a huge Asian dessert expert but my favourites were the tofu pudding and almond paste. Was not a fan of the green or red bean soups. The sampler is a nice way to try everything but definitely overpriced. - Vitasoy milk with red bean bulldog (Z2) ($7.95) - this was actually great! A little overpriced again but the drink was sweet, light and creamy. Cash only! read more

There aren't a lot of HK dessert options for me in LA and when there are they're mediocre. I know Vancouver is known for Cantonese/Chinese food so I had to give this place a try and they did not disappoint. There was a bit of a line when I came, but I was seated quickly. I'm pretty sure this is standard in Vancouver, but they did check vaccination status when I came by. The menu is online so you just order and they bring it to you then pay at the counter later. We got to try their curry fish balls which were so good on a rainy night 9/10. Their ginger milk pudding was ~ok I'd give it a 7/10. Their mango sago was also really good 9/10. I also got their imitation shark fin soup which I really enjoyed. Tastes just like the ones I would get in HK. Overall a really great experience would recommend! There is a small parking lot, but I opted for street parking which I believed was free. read more

ATTENTION INTERNATIONAL TRAVELERS: this place only takes cash or Canadian debit cards. We didn't know this beforehand but thankfully my international VISA debit card worked at the bank on the opposite corner to this place. Seated immediately in an empty restaurant on a Friday night. The entire store is very cute, with shadow boxes depicting different city scenes and a riot of color throughout the store. The ceiling boasts a large paper dragon, and other store decor would appeal to your typical hype beast. Their menu is VERY EXPANSIVE and has a lot of classic desserts, as well as new innovations. I would've been happy to try out more but we were on crunch time to catch an international flight, so we only got their Mahjong special. Maybe next time I'll try the rest of your menu, Snackshot! Their mahjong special is a visually delightful dessert that pays tribute to the massive subculture of the game. Everyone and their grandma has heard of mahjong, maybe even played it -- and now you get to eat it. The material of the dessert itself is rather simple: one layer each coconut milk and red bean paired with a red bean dipping sauce; the rice paper money is fairly plain as well, but that's what rice paper tastes like HAHA. Overall a nice place too visit to have their novelty dish once (they only make 15 per day so arrive early on busy days!), but after that definitely check out the rest of their menu. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for ages, and it absolutely did not disappoint. I've lived in HK basically my whole life, having just moved to Vancouver a little less than a year ago. I thought that the food in general was pretty good, with a few misses here and there. However, I will give it 5 stars due to the creativity (you have to solve a math sequence to get the password), variety of options, and attractive plating. Prices are on the high end, and portions are a little small. They also play a lot of Cantonese music videos on their TV, which my parents loved. HK milk tea on ice (4/5) Though it obviously doesn't compete with actual milk tea from HK, it was pretty good, and one of the more authentic milk teas here in Vancouver. Snack combo (4/5) Again, this was pretty good. The curry fishballs were the best item out of the three. The rice rolls and siu mai were pretty decent as well, although the siu mai could have been a little softer. Crispy milky ice cream sandwich (4.5/5) Ugh, this was so good! I wish there was more of the matcha ice cream and red bean, because right now the bread to filling ratio is a bit high. I liked the addition of the condensed milk, but I could've done with a little less since the ice cream and red beans were already pretty sweet. Other than that, I have absolutely no complaints. The cold ice cream complemented the crispy, fluffy bun perfectly! I highly recommend this. Side ube (4/5) Served warm, and tasted pretty good, although it was a little stringy. Side taro (5/5) Served warm, and so delicious! Great taro flavour and a nice, smooth texture. Dessert platter (4/5) Obviously I had to get this. Tbh I could've finished the whole thing by myself. Some of the desserts I liked, others not so much. - Tofu pudding (4/5): Pretty good, smooth and silky with a hint of ginger. - Red bean soup (2.5/5): The soup was very watery. - Green bean soup (3/5): Better than the red bean, but I'm not the biggest fan of green bean soup, as I prefer red bean soup. - Black glutinous dessert (2/5): Never had this before, and I personally didn't like it. My dad said it was okay, but needed more coconut milk. - Sesame paste (4/5): Pretty solid, we all liked it. - Walnut paste (4.5/5): Good flavour and consistency. I enjoyed it. - Almond paste (2/5): Honestly it wasn't bad, I just personally don't like the taste - Cashew paste (4.5/5): This was really good, and very thick as well. This had the thickest consistency out of everything on this platter. read more

Finding Cantonese/HK style desserts has been something that mostly eluded me in the states because they're just aren't any of these places around. So when my extended family wanted to come here to chow down after an already hefty lunch, I was surprised but can see why really quickly. They have so many classics from doufu fah to tong yuan to sago and even inspirational, crazy looking 100% edible mah jong set. If you like slightly sweetened desserts, this is definitely your shop. Everything is lightly sweetened (or in the case of the black sesame pudding, you sweeten it yourself) so it's definitely good for the whole family if you care about health. Anyways, I highly recommend the mango sago, which comes with a scoop of mango ice cream, mango fruity liquid, sago and other popping bits that is refreshing on a cool day. Tong yuan is chewy glutanous balls full of black sesame in a sugary ginger broth that is a build in palate cleanser. Black sesame soup comes in a cool looking tofu vat and is soul lifting and heart warming. The most interesting (though I don't think it tasted like anything) is the edible mah jong set. Visually it's a stunning red bean coconut pudding that has firmed up enough to be plucked with a dessert fork. Way cool aesthetics though I did wish it tasted more like something. It's definitely a show stopper dessert though. Annoying disclaimer: they require $6/person to be spent so you might have to order more than you want, especially if you don't want to eat something by yourself. Also cash/debit only. read more

I came here because of the cute mahjong pudding dessert and it was so worth it just to see how cute it was! The tiles are coconut pudding and the money is edible rice paper! I think it's too much pudding even for two people to share so we ordered some ice cream on the side. I came back another time to get the sampler and THIS was so worth it! It's perfect to try nine different popular items my favorites being the cashew paste, almond paste, black sesame paste and glutinous dessert. They still have SO many things on the menu I want to try and the portion are large so you're going to want to share. Can't wait to try more stuff! It's right beside Meat Up so go there for dinner and here for dessert! read more

Hits the spot when you're craving for Hong Kong street food items (rsteamed rice rolls, fish shumaiand curry fish balls). As for the sweet soup, we liked the warm almond soup the best. The sesame and walnut soup was ok but it did taste like it was thickened with some type of starch. read more

When I first walked in, I thought .. oh, cute little dessert place! I'm glad we didnt have to wait today, on a Sunday after dinner hours. Couple months ago, we tried stopping by around the same time and the line was so long, over an hour. We just left. Today, we tried a limited time only Mahjong, it's coconut pudding, taste just OK, I have to admit... I ordered it more for the pictures! Also had the hot milk custard, which was my favorite! Taste so good! Tofu pudding wasn't as smooth as I thought it would be. Mango sago with ice cream was tasty Too! Curry fish balls was too spicy for my liking. We def will be back again! I wanna try few other items on their menu. Overall pretty good! And the bathroom was clean. For the 4 of us, was almost $50 before tip. read more

When someone finally decides to go a different route, yet a familiar one, finally something we can call new. In a city that seems to go by the way of the copy cat, especially in the Asian dessert phase it is refreshing to come to this place which not only serves Hong Kong inspired desserts, but tries its best to transport you to that realm in this little spot that is their shop. I have to give the people here full props, as most others in the market would have just tried to copy a trend and go with it. Came in around just after 8 PM and it was not that busy..... YET. Before we even sat down we looked at everything that was on the walls, to the huge painted mural of the backdrop of classic tacky neon signed Hong Kong on one side, to the other with hanging shelving with food stall miniatures, something that just suits this place. We eventually were presented the menu, and it has some great variety. It seems like my partner knew exactly what she wanted while me and my brother were still deciding while the female working here came by twice to take our order. Here was our order... in no particular order: - Red Date & Longan Soup (hot) - less sweet too - Peanut sticky rice balls (hot) - Mango Grapefruit Sago (cold) - Vitasoy with red bean (there was something else.. but the presentation was awesome) - Ribena juice Our order came one by one while we started to look at our phones, look at the magazines that were in this place, watch the TV that was playing youtube streams of classic cantopop video songs from (what I saw on this night) Theresa Teng, Beyond and Shirley Kwan. Good thing they do not show old Chinese movies.. people wouldn't leave! Each one was a pleasant surprise with some special mentions on the Mango Grapefruit Sago.. where it had a nice taste, not too sweet, and a little zing from the grapefruit mix. The red date and longan soup was made to order.. as in not too sweet really was not too sweet, these people know what they are doing. And then seeing the bottled Vitasoy (where do they get this stuff.. I thought this was only in HK, unless they re-use the bottle) with red bean, and something else mixed in.. I could see myself drinking this on a hot summer day..or just wasting time listening to old Canto hits over the stereo. While we were eating, I noticed the line up of people begin, and this would be around 9 pm. The place is roomey enough where they could add more tables, at the same time I saw some people that were in here a long time taking selfies against the wall and posing by their food. This is a great hangout place, and brings me back to when there were actually some really good bbtea joints. The menu has a lot of variety from tofu pudding to sweet soups and different drinks that are not your typical bubble tea joints. They even have a dessert taster that I may try next time. I loved seeing the sign on the door.... "cash only - for now" so there maybe hope, but regardless there is finally a place that is willing to not follow the trend and be unique, this is it. read more

Came in with a friend as we were both craving tofu pudding! The space: The interior of the cafe is a dream come true, both for people who want to take cute Instagram photos (myself included), and for those who want to reminisce or be transported into an old-style HK/Canto cafe, having boisterous chats with friends while slurping down tofu pudding on a hot summer day. Lots of nostalgia in the decor for sure. We ordered the Wooden Bucket Tofu Pudding in Matcha and the Sweet Soup Tasting Platter (Cold). The Bucket tofu is adorable and tasty - the pudding is lightly sweetened with optional red bean and sugar + syrup toppings on the side for those craving a sweeter dessert. The matcha is quite mild, and I think it'd be easily shareable between 2-3 people. We loved this, and devoured all of it. Definitely get the ginger syrup soaked original tofu pudding that they have if you normally eat your tofu pudding in that style - it's super flavourful but light (we tasted this in the Platter). The Sweet Soup Tasting Platter is great if you want to get a taste of multiple different things, but tbh, a lot of the items in it are quite similar. We enjoyed the Red Bean Soup, Black Glutinous Rice Dessert, Peanut Sticky Mochi Balls, and Green Bean Soup and original tofu pudding as they were very refreshing. We didn't like the Nut Pastes/Black Sesame Soup as much as they were quite creamy and heavy and all tasted quite similar. We think this Platter would taste better if ordered hot tbh, even on a hot summer day. That being said, we ordered way too much for 2 ppl, lol. The Bucket would've been enough, as the Platter is also shareable between 2-3 people. PRO-TIP: bring a lot of friends if you want to try all their desserts! Definitely coming back to try their bulldogs next time. Service is great and as a bonus, I liked that you had to solve a math equation for the Wifi password. What a fun place. read more

Snackshot is located on Granville Street and near 64th Ave. It is another a new dessert place popping up in Vancouver. My friend and I came here on Saturday evening around 7.30, there was line up already. We were waited for 20 minutes to get our table. While we're waiting, we checked it out the decor. It has some miniature replicas of food stands, books and cards of 60's and 70's. It's so cool and no wonder they're hit on social media. The shop pretty small but the dessert menu quite extensive. We ordered eye catching drink, Vitasoy milk with red bean bulldog. It wasn't a lot of red bean and pretty sweet. May be good for photographing. We had dessert platter with 9 different mini tong sui, cashew paste, black sesame paste, almond milk paste, walnut paste, green bean soup, red bean soup, red date longan soup, tofu pudding and black glutinous rice soup. Most of the paste so much glutinous rice flour and sugary, none of it we like. Overall, price steep and the tong sui below average. It definitely overhyped! read more

There's lots of Hong Kong styled desserts in Vancouver and while they all sell similar desserts, Snackshot is able to bring you back to the roots of Hong Kong. One of the walls inside the shop is painted to look like the olden streets of Hong Kong. You can't help but fall in love with the cute interior. The place has around 10 tables or less but the only issue is that they are the long bench tables so there can be waits for seating no matter the group size. Groups of 2s, 4s, 6s are all seated at the same sized table. Decided to come here after a dinner as I was with a group of friends who never tried the place out before. I decided to get the dessert platter with a friend because the previous time I was here, the sharing box tasted bland (probably because of the fact that I had also gotten a Vitasoy bulldog whose sweetness had overpowered the sweetness in the sharing box). Do not underestimate the size of the platter though because it is listed on the menu that it is to be shared with 2-3 people. While there are light Hong Kong styled sweet soups within the box, there are also dessert pastes which are a lot thicker and denser. Upon arrival of the dessert platter, they also give you a menu describing what you're eating and it also outlines the sweetness levels in the boxes and recommends that you eat from the least sweet to the most sweet. This is by far the best improvement they've made since I was here last as there was no guide advising you how to eat. The hardest thing about the box is that once you start eating something that's overly sweet, it may ruin the flavors of a dessert that isn't as sweet. If you're here with a group of friends and want to share something, I'd definitely recommend ordering this to get a sample of everything. Overall, the taste has definitely improved from the last time I was here but the prices seem to have increased as well however, I'd definitely like to come back to try their bucket of tofu pudding which is also another Hong Kong dessert fav. read more

A great late night snack! I highly recommend going with a group so you get to try a handful of desserts! All of the items we tired tonight were so tasty, and not overly sweet! *minimum $6 purchase per person* * The black sesame paste soup is great warm, but after it cooled down it thickened and was just as tasty! * The ManGo is probably the sweetest out of the 4, but the tartness of the mango flavour helped tame the sweetness which was great. The added grapefruit pieces were especially key to this dessert as it added bursts of sour-sweet bites * The Purple Lover is very coconut-y! Suitable for both taro beginners and lovers! The taro mochi pieces are packed with taro flavour and again not overly sweet * The soy red bean drink was by far my favourite. Heard many mixed reviews about this drink, some saying it was not sweet enough, too bland or just not worth the hype! I for one am on team soy red bean, this stuff is amazing! Definitely could not drink one alone, but that's what friends are for :) read more

Agreed with other reviewers that it is not as good as before. We ordered D6 Walnut Paste and J5 Mango Grapefruit Sago. Both seems are lacking something. It could be due to covid impact? I understand that it is difficult for small business. We will still give it a try when we are in the area as you can hardly find Cantonese dessert place now, but I won't have high expectations. read more

Oh man I really liked the old school Hong Kong style of this place, takes me back to highschool 100 years ago. But not only that, the desserts were amazing and my only regret is that I didn't come back again before I left Vancouver. read more

Although we are in Vancouver, we are lucky we are still be able to taste some Hong Kong snacks, street food and desserts here. We ordered a bowl of hot steamed milk custard, a wooden bucket tofu for two, VitaSoy milk with red bean bulldog (cold), and a dish of curry fish balls/fish tofu, Sui mai, and rice rolls. All of them tasted excellent! One thing they could improve on was to decrease the sugar in the steam milk custard. It was extremely sweet. We wish the dish of curry fish balls/fish tofu, Sui mai, and rice roll would be a little bit bigger. We paid the same price at Aberdeen Food Court but the portion was so much more and it tasted excellent as well. We got here around 7:15pm. The restaurant was quite full but we were lucky to get a table right away. When it was around 8pm, A LOT OF people were waiting at the foyer or outside the restaurant. Whenever we drive by, this restaurant is always busy indeed. If you love Hong Kong street food and desserts, you should visit this restaurant and taste their hot desserts and try their Hong Kong style of drinks. read more

It was delicious dessert but I feel it has been hyped up a lot in social media and in the news. It's a neat throwback to Hong Kong of yesteryear. I got a super expensive milk tea but I got to keep the cool lightbulb cup it came in! The dessert sampler was delicious but seemed to be all over the place in quality. The service was ok but once they were at max capacity they had problems keeping customers happy (we wanted to pay but they took their time). Their bulldogs are unique! Hopefully they can work out some kinks and make it even better. read more

Dessert is generally overpriced, and taste alright. Portion is relatively small. The space is nicely decorated, while there's endless 80' 90' 00' karaoke playlist on the TV. A good place to go, if you plan to stay for the whole afternoon for chitchat with friends. read more

After seeing the Thrillest video on their Mahjong jellies, me and my friends knew we had to stop by and try it out. The shop was very cute with miniature house sets and Supreme decor. Along with the Mahjong jellies, we ordered a couple additional desserts as well, including the coke with lemonade bull dog, the grass jelly soup and red bean soup. All their desserts were very well presented and aesthetically pleasing. The coke bull dog was very good and came with what I believe was calpico popping bubbles. The two soups were very refreshing, but were definitely lacking sugar. The Mahjong jellies, came out exactly like the video and looked absolutely amazing and my party had a great time taking pictures and posing with the rice paper money. When it came time to eat them, they tasted great as well and came with a red bean coconut milk dipping sauce, and was not too sweet. Definitely worth the trip for their instagramable desserts. read more

I'm here again~ I ordered the Taro Sago in Coconut Milk - Hot/Cold ($6.95+tax). I got it hot b/c I was sick... It was still super nommy! This dessert has always been my fave since I was a kid! For those who love coconut milk and taro desserts, you guys should try this one! The Taro pieces were soft. If ordered a cold one, it will be super refreshing especially for the summer time! It's not super sweet either. My friend ordered the Mango Trio ($9.95+tax), which was my second fave dessert. It has "Fresh Mango Sago in Coconut Milk w/ Mango Ice cream & little balls." I don't remember what the little balls were, but it was quite chewy!! I believe it was mochi? I do prefer sugarloop mango dessert more though. She pointed out that sugarloop mangoes were more mangoey than the Snackshot. Also Snackshot added coconut milk, so it tasted more diluted. My other friend ordered the Ube Trio ($9.95+tax), which was my least fave dessert. It has "Fresh Ube Sago in Coconut Milk w/ Ube Ice Cream & Ube Taro balls." TBH, I couldn't realllllyyy taste the Ube flavour.... maybe b/c I tasted my strong Taro Sago dessert first, so it kinda overpowered the Ube flavour? I love HK desserts. I'm on a HK dessert hunt!!! Highly recommend this place though! I will come back to try their Sesame and Matcha Tofu Pudding?? read more

This has become one of my favourite Chinese dessert places. Been here 3 times less than 6 months. I don't usually revisit unless it's bomb but this often, that's a first. My first two times were quite close in range and both times I got the tofu pudding and the third time around I noticed they've changed their menu slightly. Some new items were added such as the coconut red bean pudding in mahjong form and some other variations in the tofu pudding (in matcha or sesame flavoured). This time around I got the edible mahjong (limited 15 per day). This was strictly for the gram, I admit. For $19, it's good enough to share and the taste was good too. I generally like coconut pudding and I also liked subtle flavour of the red bean in the background. Great job, Snackshot! I noticed they have some savoury snacks as well (curry fish balls, siu mai, rice rolls). I know where to get my late night fixes now! Looking forward to my next visit. read more

Words can not describe how much I adore this little shop. If you like HK style desserts, definitely come through.

Came here on a Sunday night at around 2300 and we still had to wait! Busy place! I had the mango trio which comprised of sago, coconut, mango (duh), little rice balls and mango ice cream. It came in a giant bowl I couldn't even finish. Definitely had the share the love there. Absolutely loved it..especially since it wasn't overly sweet. My fiend had the vita soy bulldog which was delicious. The red bean at the bottom really complimented the drink. The mahjong set was good and made out of coconut and ube (sweet potato). I wasn't a huge fan of it but it's definitely something that's pretty cool and more of a novelty thing. Best dish out of the three we tried was definitely the mango trio. read more

Tried it and loving it! At first prices seemed a bit ridiculous for Chinese Tong Shiu but after trying it out, the portion is worthy of the price! I was quite impressed with their desserts and the taste is very authentic, just like Hong Kong! I ordered something simple, the walnut sweet soup... and it's very tasty! I can definitely taste the walnut! It comes in a mid size bowl and it's quite a big portion for one person. We also ordered the taro ball and purple yam sweet soup and the purple was surprisingly sweet and moist!!! Their salty snack is also very good...gotta go back for sure! July 30, 2018 Did go back this past Monday and tried their famous mahjong platter and 9 dessert platter sampler. The 9 dessert platter sampler wasn't anything extraordinary...gives you a taste of the different varieties! The mahjong platter was worth the price ($19) due to the amount of effort placed into each piece! Quite impressive and skillfully done! read more

Comes in original, matcha, or black sesame flavour! The snack combo is also a popular item~ MUST TRY, I love the variety of mix all in this one dish! Especially the peanut flavouring sauce definitely was the highlight The decor and atmosphere of this place is super neat and great to come with groups of friends cuz they have lots of sitting area!

We've been going to Snackshot for years. Although we live in Seattle and visit several times a year, Snackshot is our must-go. Love everything about it - desserts, service, decors.... Best dessert place of all!! read more

Ordered a dessert sampler platter(hot) and a vita soy w/ red bean. There is barely any sweetness in the dessert soups and some taste very bland. I am not sure if that's how traditional Hong Kong dessert suppose to taste like but personally I don't like it. AND! That vita soy bottle over red bean is very unstable! As the server said, I moved the mug with the bottle at the same time and stabilized it once again BUT after few seconds it fell and made a mess. Very bad experience with this dessert. Sadly no replacement offered, even if they kept on saying sorry ：( and the reason why they don't redo the order is that they already "warned" Anyways....A bit disappointing. read more

Authentic Hong Kong style desserts. The service was excellent and the staff were very friendly and helpful. It is a small restaurant but we waited a few minutes and a table freed up. We arrived after dinner so they had run out of the Sesame Paste so we ordered the Black Glutinous dessert and the Let the Mango which was Mango Grapefruit Sago with Mango Ice Cream with Little Mochi and Tofu Pudding and the Mahjong Tiles. The desserts were excellent. The Black Glutinous Dessert was thick and full of glutinous rice and was not too sweet. The Let the Mango was really good as well and all the flavours worked well together and was just the right amount of sweetness. The mango ice cream was a bit too sweet for me. The Mahjong Tiles were very good and the white part was made of coconut pudding and the bottom part was red bean the USD and the HKD was edible as well. This is a must try if you like the traditional and trendy Hong Kong style desserts. read more

All edible in the picture, except for the base. They only have a small dinning area. The tofu pudding is really good and there are 3 choices to pick from. They give you toppings to go with the pudding. The mango dessert was also very good. Will be back to try their other items. read more

Very cool decor... there is a mural/wallpaper and mini models of many famous places in Hong Kong! There is a TV playing Hong Kong classic hits back in the 70s-00s. I couldn't help but to hummm... and singalong!!!! The place is not big, there are only about 9 tables - so expect a line up on weekends! You placed your name on a whiteboard as soon as you walked in - I thought it was good idea for organizing and keeping track the customers. I had to order the infamous Vitasoy milk with red bean bulldog to satisfy the curiosity of novelty. I have to say...it wasn't what I expected. The drink tasted more milky than the iconic Vitasoy flavour. Don't think I will come back any time soon.... read more
