The store is clean and has plenty of seating. Parking is the strip mall area shared with other businesses so easy to find a spot.

Everything about Hui Lau Shan is iconic. I am their #1 fan - everything is SO good! They use the…read moremost delicious champagne mangos for all their desserts. The cafe has tons of mango decorations inside so it is pretty cute, although there are many mango boxes around the store. That's how you know it is fresh! The mango romance with the trio of their best sellers is always a good starting point for first-timers. My favorite thing to get is the jumbo chewy rice ball, mango coconut jelly, and mango mochi. - The chewy rice ball is served with fresh, pureed mango and it is perfect for a hot day if you are planning to sit at the restaurant. I love to get the mango coconut jelly to-go. - The coconut jelly is creamy and plentiful, topped with sweet mango chunks, agar pearls, and the chewy rice balls. SO good and underrated in my opinion. - The mango mochi features a chilled mango chunk wrapped in soft, stretchy mochi and covered in coconut flakes. Also a great snack and everyone who has tried it has loved it! - I've also tried the curry fish balls. They are a good savory snack, nice curry flavor, and an enjoyable bouncy texture. Hui Lau Shan will always be my favorite dessert spot - especially in the summer. Any mango fans have to come by!

Side note: I was impressed by the amount of boba and popping boba options! The employee was helpful and made the drinks as the orders came in.

Since the first visit, I have come several times because my son and I both love the avocado shake…read more Unfortunately, today the shake got dropped and when I asked the lady, she said "没办法" which basically means there's nothing she can do. I understand that it's not her fault the drink was dropped, but other drink places have never had a problem remaking a drink that fell down. Because, things happen. Especially with a toddler. And particularly if you're charging $11 for one bbt after tax! I will look for another bbt place which is a bit more thoughtful of their customers and become a regular there.

My friend and I walked over to Emerald City Smoothie in Downtown Bellevue after doing barre class…read morenearby. This was my first time at Emerald City Smoothie in ten years and my first time at the Downtown Bellevue location. The interior is fairly small with only a few tables to sit/stand at and so it's mostly a takeout place rather than a place to meet with friends. Emerald City Smoothie has a wide menu and categorize their menu into five categories based on health goals: "Boost My Immune System", "Help Me Lose Weight", "Go Green", "Bulk Me Up" and "Nourish My Body". They also have a menu just for "Boosters" which cost extra and include everything from antioxidants to bees pollen to creatine and fat burner. Lastly, they have a Secret Menu which includes Banana Creme Pie, Matcha Green Tea, Maui Paradise, Mountain Berry Blast, Orange Creamsicle, Piña Colada, and Peanut Butter Cup. I'm pretty sure their secret menu is just drinks that don't fit into the other categories (or ran out of room for), because they had these same drinks on their menu ten years ago. I ordered the MATCHA GREEN TEA (16-oz) off the secret menu. This smoothie has soy milk, matcha, non-fat milk, and whey. For $7.44 (including tax), this was pretty pricey for a "healthified" matcha Frappucinno. They obviously don't use high quality matcha as the matcha color was on the yellow side and the taste was quite diluted and bland. It mostly just tasted like sugary blended milk with little to no matcha flavor; I was honestly disappointed, but drank it anyway. My friend got her favorite NUTTY BANANA (sub vegan protein) which has banana, peanut butter, protein, and nonfat milk, which is probably what I should've gotten instead. She also ordered a PB&J and MANGO MANIA for her family members which are also supposed to be decent. Lesson learned, stick with the fruit smoothies. Service was good- the baristas are friendly and efficient and we got our drinks within 10 minutes after ordering. Overall: 2/5 for drinks, 4/5 for service, 3/5 for atmosphere

First up the woman who made my juice was so friendly and helpful, I wish I grabbed her name to shout her out. I ended up with the power green and added ginger. I told her I like a bit of a kick at the end with the ginger. She nailed it and got a good balance of that ginger spice that blended in with the rest of the drink. Will definitely be back!

HEALTH HAZARD: plastic in drinks!!!…read more We ordered 2 mango yogurt drinks with purple rice. We got them quickly, but immediately noticed pieces of string / plastic coming out of our straw. We went back to ask them to remake it. The lady said "it's the plastic lid" -- she immediately knew, but didn't offer to remake until we asked. Seems like it's a recurring issue...? RED FLAG. After telling her co-worker, he just shrugged it off and didn't give any attention to us. Very dismissive!! Although they remade the drink, we found plastic AGAIN. Threw away the drinks. They have a poor health rating out front. We should've trusted it.... will never be back!!!!
