This is a very classic Vietnamese dessert place. Very reasonably priced. If you like Che this is a great place. Herbal desserts and coconut is good. Good service. It is a very specific taste so be adventurous. The shop isn't too crowded. read more

After having dinner at 98 Shabu+Grill Seafood buffet near Thạch Chè Mỹ Linh, I decided to stop by and give this place a try, even though it has been open for quite some time. The interior was fairly clean, and they offer a wide variety of Vietnamese, style sweet desserts that many people enjoy. I ordered chè bà ba, chè táo soạn, and chè đậu trắng. Honestly, none of them really suited my taste. The chè bà ba was okay but nothing special. As for the chè đậu trắng and chè táo soạn, the coconut milk flavor was quite unusual for me. The coconut milk had a pandan aroma, which was nice, but it was very thin and lacked the rich, creamy texture you would expect from proper coconut milk. For desserts like chè đậu trắng or chè táo soạn, the coconut milk makes up at least 50% of what defines the dish, and unfortunately, this was very disappointing. The owner was very friendly and welcoming, but overall, the desserts here just weren't a good fit for my personal taste. There is plenty of parking available around the area, which is convenient. read more

This spot is Vietnamese dessert heaven. If you know, you know--and if you don't? Get yourself to Thạch Chè Mỹ Linh immediately. The chè here is absolutely chef's kiss. It's not overly sweet like a lot of other places--just that perfect balance of coconutty, chewy, crunchy, icy magic that hits every texture craving at once. My go-to is the chè thập cẩm (mixed dessert)--it's a beautiful chaos of mung beans, pandan jelly, red beans, jackfruit, and coconut milk over crushed ice. A full textural masterpiece. You'll also find a rainbow of Vietnamese jellies (thạch) stacked in the cold case like art. Everything is homemade, fresh, and wildly nostalgic if you grew up eating this stuff. It's giving: your auntie's kitchen, but with better lighting and way more variety. Bonus points for being super affordable, fast, and run by the sweetest family. It's cash only and takeout-style--nothing fancy--but honestly, that's part of the charm. Pro tip: Grab extra pandan jelly and grass jelly on the side. You'll thank me later. read more

Hôm nay Bő mình có ghé mua 2 phần chè, hỏi giá thì mới biết là một chén $5. Ông thường mua chén nhỏ $1.5, nên nghỉ chắc có $3 chén lớn thì ông chủ nói " anh mới ở Việt Nam qua sao, tôi bán ở đây gần 40 năm "....Bő tôi cười và nói " mới vài tháng" nhưng ông ở đây cũng gần 40 năm mới ghé tiệm lần đầu và chắc là lần cuối. Nhắn gởi chú bán hàng, vui vẻ với khách là điều cơ bản, ở đây lâu mà vẫn chưa học được cách giao tiếp với khách hàng thi nên xem lại....chè thì OK không quá ngọt nhưng bột năng nhiều hơn đậu, cháu sẽ đánh 3, nhưng phục vụ không đạt nên còn 2 ... read more

Rude and impolite customer service. When we entered the store, there's no greetings but they stared at us and asked us what we wanted. What's the heck. They accept cash only but refused to take one-hundred-dollar bill. Such an inconvenience. Will not come back. read more

The parking lot to get here on a Sunday is a mad house since it's shared by so many establishments. Once I finally arrived it wasn't too busy. Two friendly workers inside that helped me immediately. The shop is organized and felt neat and clean. I tried the che 3 mau and che thai. Both were really good and refreshing but the red beans in the che 3 mau were a little hard for my taste. The coconut milk they use for the che 3 mau is also so fatty because when I added the ice the fat congealed. I liked that they give you fresh shaved ice for your desserts. It melts fast to cool the dessert and is also easy to eat and crunch on. They are a cash only so remember to bring cash and get ready to eat some delicious desserts. read more

Where do Vietnamese peeps go for authentic desserts? Here. Been coming here for, like, ever. This was my late mama's favorite place too. So whenever I come here I always think of her. It is by far, the best place in Little Saigon for Vietnamese desserts. The quality continues to meet high expectations for me. The taste never changes. Their recipes stay consistent and delicious. So what is Vietnamese desserts"? Some is based with mung beans, corn, sweet potato, taro root, and with or without coconut milk. My favorite is Che Thai - it contains longan, coconut jelly, jackfruit, tapioca water chestnuts, pandan jelly, and more jelly, and coconut milk or half and half. It is so refreshing on a hot summer day. And they make the best here! Please try it. The chewy coconut jelly is so good. Definitely taste it! You will be hooked, especially on a hot soCal day There are so many 'che' to try. And shakes too. Have at it and enjoy a treat. Service is ALWAYS good and friendly. And they pack the food with love. The way every business should! Your food will never be damaged when you open up your package at home. I do like that the shop is well kempt. Major plus! Come and support this small local business and stimulate the economy. You will do them and yourself a great favor! Enjoy! read more

Walked into this store once for some dessert fix and then.... I am hooked. I cant pronounce any of the item's names but I just try a bunch of different things every time and they all turn out to be great. Some ladies might not speak English there but it doesn't affect the fact that they are so nice and friendly. The only con is they are cash only read more

I normally would go to this location as a regular customer but not anymore. There are just certain levels of customer service that crosses the line, and today was it. The man at the register was just rude. Please be aware that this is a cash only location. As such, I paid with cash using $2 bills that were old and a little ware on it. Please keep in mind that these bills where fully whole except for the corners were a little worn. The guy refused to accept the cash, even though they are perfectly legal tender. He then makes a huge scene. Then proceeds to take my purchase away and was kicking me out when I asked why he wouldn't take it, and if he had an issue with the bills, he could exchange it with the bank. Keep in mind this was only $6. He was getting hot and heavy, while I was fully calm the whole time, just asking politely what the issue with taking legal tender in a cash only location is. He was rude and angry, treating me like some beggar, as customers started to gather and wonder what the heck was going on. He then was afraid of the bad rep from all the other customers, and began to shove the food to me, saying he is giving it for free. I am not a beggar. I refused, but I did went and look for my other cash bills and paid for it. I am not coming back here anymore, even though I used to be a regular. This whole time dealing with this rude man, while my toddler daughter was looking on asking what is going on with this rude man was a bit too much. This is the newer man than the older one that worked there for years. I then proceeded to go to another cash only location, and they accepted the bills like normal, no fuss. read more

My family loves stopping by here after grabbing food at Canton Restaurant next door. In my honest opinion, their Chè Thái and other desserts are far better than Bake & Chè. The flavors are fresher, the portions are generous, and everything tastes homemade with great balance of sweetness. Definitely a hidden gem, especially with so many Vietnamese dessert spots in the area. Highly recommend giving this place a try if you haven't already! read more

This hidden gem has been around for 13 years! Had no idea this little shop tucked away between Seafood Paradise and Stater Bros serves such fresh tapioca desserts (che), alfresco drinks and even to-go foods! The owner was so helpful and cute-- love how proud she is of her "baby" and you can tell she puts her heart and soul into it. She definitely takes pride in only the freshest ingredients, quality sources and cleanliness. Definitely our go-to! read more

Whenever I come to OC for work, I always have to pick up to go Vietnamese food and desserts (Che). I typically go to the other Che spot but wanted to try something new. Great Yelp reviews but the place is just ok. The Che was a bit watered down. Its a super clean spot and has chairs for you to enjoy, unlike others spots but the other spot is much better with food. read more

5 stars for the BEST che ba mau dessert in OC! This review is only for the che ba mau. I have not tried anything else here other than che ba mau and xoi lap xuong (that was good too but I mainly come here for the che ba mau). I was never a fan of che ba mau until I tried the one here, and ever since then, I've been coming back again and again. One day I was craving it so badly but this place was already closed so I went to Che Hien Khanh instead, and let me tell you, it was not as good as the one here (Hien khanh was way sweeter and the taste wasn't right, I did not enjoy it at all and couldn't even finish). The che ba mau at My Linh is so perfect. The sweetness is just right and you can taste the freshness of the ingredients in every bite. It is so good and addicting. Once you start you have to finish, and then you crave for it the very next day! Lol it is that good! So glad I don't live close to this place, or else, I'll be here every single day haha! read more

This is my favorite place to get Vietnamese desserts for a while now and I was disappointed when they closed because of COVID-19. I stopped by a few days ago hoping they're back in business I was happy to see a lot of customers. I should've left a review for TCML before but now I feel more compelled to let fellow Yelpers how good this place has become. If anyone ever frequents this shop before they should appreciate the quality of their desserts . The prices here are a tad higher than some other places but you pay for quality. Not if there's anything wrong with that but you just can't expect to have the high standards at some buy two get one free place. Anyway I was happily surprised to see TCML expands their menu. What's new are Bò kho, chicken curry and fried rice ( tray order only). Vietnamese beef stew is one of my favorite dish to make at home so I was eager to try it and I was not disappointed. The spices are there but not overwhelming and the seasoning will satisfy most palates. I might not even bother make this again and just get it from here. And I didn't even have the side effects from MSG like the one you get elsewhere. What blew me away is the curry. THE CURRY! I've eaten enough Vietnamese curry in my life and still it's not something I would order. It's just not one of my favorite dish. Until I tried the curry from this place. On dip of the bread ( comes with the order) in the concoction and I'm in love. You know some curries are either too thick, too rich from too much milk or coconut milk or too bland with chunks of under marinated chicken. If you taste this curry broth you would know there's no way you can achieve this level of deliciousness without spending a lot time and involving only quality ingredients. I'm now a curry lover but only from this place. I already love TVML for their desserts but now I'm looking forward to go there for the curry and beef stew. The dilemma the owner of this place has to face is how to not raise the prices of what they offer when using such high quality ingredients (the price of everything has gone up quite a bit during this COVID-19 crisis). During the time of crisis like this, small business like TCML deserve our supports. They work hard to grow their business and we continue to have delicious food. Thank you TCML! read more

Tôi mua hai loại chè bà ba và chè thưng. Chè gì mà ngọt quá là ngọt, không có vị cũng không có mùi của nước cốt dừa. Ăn chè mà như ăn sữa đặc có đường. Ghê quá. Bán vừa mắc, vừa dở. Không bao giờ quay trở lại. I bought "chè thưng" và "chè bà ba". OMG, there was no taste, no smell of the coconut. The taste is pure milk (could be condensed milk). Totally disappointed. Super expensive and not authentic "chè". I'll never come back. read more

Most of their "desserts in a cup" are pre-made and they store it in a little fridge in front of lobby. I walked in ordered three and the man literally pulls the cups out of the fridge. The only thing that is fresh is the ice. He shaves the ice and puts it in a bag. I don't like pre-made desserts, not fresh, and who knows how long it has been sitting in the fridge. It certainly did not taste fresh and it was way way too sweet. read more

Let's start from the door! No greetings whatsoever. Tried the che Thai, che Ba Ba, and che Bap...all tasted very mediocre!! And portions are not equivalent to their price of $4 for half a container and $6 for a regular cup. We should have seen the writing on the wall when there were no customers in there! Comparing this place to others, it needs lots of improvement. Starting with taste and price!! I would not come back anytime soon :( read more

Love everything about this place! I got a che, chicken rice, banana leaf wrapped sticky rice, flan, corn dessert with coconut cream. I want to move to really close to here so I can eat 3 times a day! I wish they wrote all the description in English so I'll know what they are. read more

Dished tried: - Thai Che (Thai flavored dessert) - Sam Bo Luong (Vietnamese sweet herbal dessert) - Che Xoi Nuoc (rice ball dessert) I love when I find a place that changes my perspective on the best of the best. Thach Che My Linh did that for me. Thach Che Hien Khanh has always been the benchmark for che in my opinion for a long time. Now I have to reconsider that designation as I happened to try Thach Che My Linh. First off the store is impeccable and clean, this is not the usual for as you would expect. But here the glass is sparkling clean and all the desserts are neatly organized behind the glass for your viewing pleasure. You know a place is good when your mother remarks on how fresh and good the Che was. Asian Mom's are not easy to please and this comes as a high compliment as mine really enjoyed her Che Xoi Nuoc. The Thai Che was really good in addition to the Sam Bo Luong, Their Sam Bo Luong had just the right amount of sweetness, where as a lot of other places over sweeten their versions. The owner also mentioned while ringing me up that all of their smoothies are made with real fruit now powders. Down to the Durian and Avocado. Enticing as I'll have to come back and try. Parking here is less of a challenge than at Hien Khanh so that earns My Linh another point in my book. read more

I normally HATE che I came here after dinner with my parents for some dessert. We each got an item. Mine was the Che Thai, my mom's was the Che Dau Trang, and my dad a drink. For all three items it was $6. Cheap! My Che Thai was good. It was large and was the perfect amount of sweetness. I don't even think I had half and it was more than enough. I'm glad we stopped in after dinner. The whole place is small but not as small as Hien Khanh. Their che here is better. Hien Khanh is better for their Xoi (sticky rice). My Linh is cleaner though with places to seat down. They even have a TV. Like Hien Khanh, it's cash only =(. read more

I have ordered a large batch of Che Thai for the last two thanksgiving pot lucks. It is that goood.

OMG, No wonder this place is never busy, very slow.. Because the worker (not sure is the owner) but YES she is very rude, her face very mean and talk just like she never want to work there. Also, she needs to buy a glass so she can see better, she looks like a grandma (BA ngoai) but she calls me "chi", I am only 36 years old, I was going tip like I always tip, but I stop tipping her because of that... She need to go school or learn how to customer service better, otherwise she will not get a dollar tip, and this business will out the business soon. The place is nice, but waste because not busy like "Che Hien Khanh'".... I never come to support this business again if I still see this lady, but I will come to take pictures of her and post here so everyone will know and the owner will knows, so she can learn a lesson so she can work better. OMG, Thảo nào nơi này không bao giờ bận rộn, rất chậm chạp .. Bởi vì cô thợ (không rõ là chủ) nhưng CÓ cô ấy rất thô lỗ, khuôn mặt rất xấu tính và nói chuyện như thể cô ấy không bao giờ muốn làm việc ở đó. Ngoài ra, cô ấy cần mua một chiếc kính để cô ấy có thể nhìn rõ hơn, cô ấy trông giống như một bà (BA ngoại) nhưng cô ấy gọi tôi là "chi", Tôi mới 36 tuổi, tôi đã tính tiền boa như mọi khi, nhưng tôi không cho cô ấy nữa vì điều đó... Cô ấy cần phải đi học hoặc học cách phục vụ khách hàng tốt hơn, nếu không, cô ấy sẽ không nhận được một đồng tiền boa nào và doanh nghiệp này sẽ sớm ngừng hoạt động. Địa điểm đẹp, nhưng lãng phí vì không sầm uất như "Chế Hiển Khánh".... Mình không bao giờ đến ủng hộ việc kinh doanh này nữa nếu vẫn gặp chị này, nhưng mình sẽ đến chụp ảnh chị và đăng lên đây để mọi người biết và chủ quán cũng biết, rút ​​ra bài học kinh nghiệm để chị làm việc tốt hơn. read more
