    Toasted bun with condensed milk

    Their Black Pepper Sauce with Pork Chop is very salty and I had to stop eating at one point, which is not typical for me. Moreover, I wish the toasted bun had more condensed milk.

    We were craving some Hong Kong-style dessert and found this place. You can scan the QR code on the table to order. They have a lot of selections from savory to sweet. We ordered the following: G05 Mango Delight Dessert with Grass Jelly G10 Black Sticky Rice with Mango and Coconut Milk H21 Honey Jelly with Mango Juice & Yogurt All of them tasted well, highly recommended!

    I haven't been here since high school but a few things have changed! When you walk in, you can either order with the employee or use the kiosk. Made my order on the kiosk and got my dessert in less than 5 minutes. This establishment has seating but when it gets busy, it's hard to find seating!

    With one piece missing

    This place is a JOKE!! They charge $10 for ten very tiny pieces of chicken! The photo on the right is what I received, the photo on the left is from Quickly on Southgate Ave in Daly City and they charge $8 for a bucket. Get real guys and do better than taking advantage of your customers.....especially in this day and age.

    My boyfriend has brought me here for dates on several occasions, and it's quickly become a place we both genuinely enjoy going to for a comforting sweet treat. This cozy spot specializes in traditional Asian desserts, offering a fantastic array of options that are perfect for a chilly evening or just a quiet moment together. While everything on the menu looks tempting, my absolute favorites are their red bean soup and sesame soup, both served with delightful tangyuan (glutinous rice balls). The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, making it an ideal place for a casual date night where you can unwind and enjoy good conversation over warm desserts. The service is typically friendly and efficient, adding to the pleasant experience. If you're in the Millbrae/San Bruno area and looking for authentic and delicious Asian dessert soups, especially with tangyuan, Sweet Indulgence is a great choice.

    Sesame egg waffle (eggette)
    Erika C.

    Average egg waffle (eggette), got the sesame flavor. I've had better and I've had worse, at least it wasn't doughy. I like genki in sf best. Not factored into the 3 stars for the waffle (but didn't help) - it took awhile to get my waffle. Like 25 min and the place was empty when I got there. And then one other person was there before I left. And admittedly kind of off topic - I used their bathroom and they do that thing where you have to use a key. The rope/string that the key was on was pretty gross. Are there really that many people wandering in to try to use their restroom? I would've preferred a keypad.

    Basil Chicken and Steamer Rice Noodle Roll with Hoisin Peanut Sauce
    Raina T.

    I've been coming to sweet indulgence for over 10 years now. It's a great place especially if you come with friends or a group of people who all want something different since their menu is quite extensive. They have alushies, drinks, ice cream, crepes, savory snacks, light entrees and more! My favorites are the Basil Chicken, Jelly with Mango/Watermelon, and Sweet Purple Potato Gelato. The only cons I would say is the prices have steadily increased while the portions have gotten smaller and smaller. Their basil chicken is my favorite but they give you like maybe 6 pieces or so. At places like Quickly's and TA Tea, they give you 3x the portion in comparison. Other than that, I would still swing by every now and then, though mainly with friends.

    Sesame soup and tofu pudding
    Lauren T.

    Cantonese desserts are always refreshing, light, and delicious. My go-to sweets are black sesame soup and steamed milk pudding (these are classic desserts).

    Crème brûlée mochi toast
    Rachel H.

    I used to come here all the time with my friends for dessert after dinner, and I recently came back after not coming here since the pandemic. I feel like there are way more savory foods now! Since I already ate dinner, I only got dessert. I had the crème brûlée mochi toast, and this was absolutely delicious!! I subbed the vanilla ice cream for vanilla gelato, and I thought it was worth it. The mochi gave the toast a really delightful texture, and the toasted marshmallows and crème brûlée topping really pushed it over the edge. This will most likely be my go-to dessert! The reasons why I docked it a star are because the service was pretty slow, and a table that ordered after us got their desserts first.

    1 scoop of Chocolate and 1 scoop of Coffee Gelato,  4 oz cup, $6.95
    Steve D.

    298 Broadway Millbrae, CA 94030 "Sweet Indulgence" is a dessert place with an overwhelming menu. The only reason why I went in this place was because the Yelp listing says "ice cream and frozen yogurt." So I have been here twice now, and both times I enjoyed the gelato. The first time, I had a scoop of chocolate and scoop of coffee gelato. The second visit was on Christmas eve, I got three scoops- chocolate, coffee, and mango. The gelato is very good and has a smooth texture. Plenty of inside seating, and a restroom is available with a key.

    Sesame paste and egg puff

    We've been coming here for over 15 years and still love what Sweet Indulgence offers -- authentic Hong Kong-style snacks, desserts, and drinks. My go-tos are the mango desserts (like the tofu fa or panna cotta with mango) and the matcha soymilk slush with tofu gelato. With so many new boba spots popping up on the same street, it's easy to overlook this gem, but the desserts here have always been consistently delicious. What they serve reminds me of the treats I grew up with back home in Hong Kong -- and honestly, there aren't many places like this left in the Bay Area. We just came by again with our toddler, and I'm reminding myself to stop by more often to support them. They truly deserve to thrive, even with all the new competition.

    matcha dessert
    Janetto L.

    So sad, my family and I have been coming to Sweet Indulgence for over 15+ years and it never fails, the owner lady with the short hair (and sometimes glasses) is ALWAYS so rude!! Full of attitude and just not pleasant to her customers. Case in point, we brought some friends and their kids here last night after dinner for their first time and they were SO turned off by how unpleasant she was. She looks miserable being there and just how she talks to people is not nice. I had to salvage the situation and reassure them that the other owner lady usually making the desserts and is in the back is waaaay nicer. She's always so soft spoken and cares a lot about her customers. I forget her name but when I use to frequent Sweet Indulgence more, she actually remembered my drink order and favorite dessert. That's when you know she cares! The workers here are generally pretty nice and helpful too which is another saving grace. I'm glad to see them still in business after all these years since they are one of the only Asian sit down dessert spots in the area that opens til 10pm but sadly, it's never a pleasant experience when I encounter the rude owner. What a shame! Food wise and desserts have been consistently these years and they have incorporated many cute desserts and different flavor gelato. Their in-store menu prices vs. their online menu prices with the QR code are slightly different. I think the online prices already tacks on a credit card surcharge. If you order from the counter and use a credit card as well, you will see a credit card surcharge on your receipt. I'm not sure if it is clearly stated somewhere on the counter that they impose a surcharge but just a heads up. All and all, don't mind the attitude if you are looking for a place that stays open late BUT if you are looking for dessert options earlier in the day, there are others in the area more worth going to with nicer service.

    Tasteless $8 and watered down water
    Winnie W.

    ALL AROUND BAD EXPERIENCE. BAD FOOD, HORRIBLE UNWELCOMING ATMOSPHERE (the word "service" is non existent here). Seriously don't bother. Very very disappointing and a horrible experience. BOY, this place have gone DOWNHILL. What used to be a great tasting and welcoming, friendly place somehow turned one of the owners into a miserable, mean, nasty woman who yells and sprays cleaning agents to customers. We arrived at around 8:45p and the place was quite full - so we tried to place seats around the tables near the entrance so that the 6 of us would fit. In no time, the owner lady with the short hair (and sometimes glasses) aka MISERABLE stormed out to tell us that "YOU CANNOT PLACE CHAIRS HERE BECAUSE IT BLOCKS THE DOOR" "YOU cannot stand here cause it blocks the order lane" "You can sit here, you guys split up or you wait" Whoa!!! Ok lady!!! No yelling needed... we simply didn't know !! Then we waited for about 15 mins and found a table and sat around it. Within 10 seconds, the at same miserable lady stormed out with a rag and spray in hand tried to clean the table. Yes I guess my friend was somewhat in the way... just then, MISERABLE yelled "I NEED TO CLEAN THE TABLE" and proceeded to spray the cleaning agent all over the table and our face and shirts. WTF!!! To top it off - their desserts are now TERRIBLE!!! Seriously what happened to this place? The walnut soup tasted like straight from a packet mixed with hot water. The papaya, snow ear soup was a bowl of tasteless $8 water.

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.

Not sure if they are using the boba flavor protein powder you see on Instagram, but it does the job. Like the person helping me out, it taste 80% like a reg drink.

Suzanne's is fine for a quick fix, but if you can make the trip, skip this and head to GG Bakery instead.
