    Tongsui is one of my favorite spots and I every time I eat at tongsui I am bummed that they aren't in Denver!! So many vegan options! Their speciality is the pudding - I've tried the mango - so classic I think this is the best, durian - so good, pleasantly amazed and the rose litchi pudding - so good! I love that they're not as sweet. Their drinks are also really good. Tongsuiii - please open a store in Denver!!!

    Came here two separate times and brought friends over to try. It's pricey for what it is but it's tasty and I can taste the freshness. I lowkey think melo melo has better tasting coconut pudding but the drinks here are super tasty. Around $9 a drink. Unfortunately would come again.

    It's been a while since I've had tong sui. Since melo melo popped up in the bay, we've been going there a lot more. However, in my mind, I've always thought they were pretty similar. Well I recently did a side by side comparison and they are def not the same! The texture of tong sui is much more firm, more akin to smooth coconut jelly, whereas melo melo is more soft and silky, almost like a custardy pudding. Personally, I like the texture of melo melo a lot more - I just melts in your mouth! I also like the flavors at melo melo a bit more, like their triple matcha and triple latte. I'd say melo melo is sweeter while tong sui is lighter, so side by side, tong sui tastes a bit more bland. However, with that being said, I still think tong sui makes a great dessert that's nice and refreshing on a hot day! They also have cool seasonal flavors, like persimmon during the lunar new year!

    Personally I prefer Melo Melo, but this place isnt as sweet if you prefer that. Mochi mango was fine and sticky rice mango was ok. When I came the 2 employees were both in the back making drinks. There was a couple other customers waiting. There was obviously a really large to-go order Im assuming from a workplace ordering for a bunch of employees because it was lunch hour on a Monday. Had to wait ~15 minutes for 2 jars that are already made.

    Walking around San Mateo after dinner, we decided to pick up some dessert. I've previously enjoyed Tong Sui's assortment of coconut puddings and saw a new seasonal, roasted yam on their list. Also, I've never tried their drinks, so this would be a first for me. ***OUR PICKS*** COCONUT ICE BOMB WITH MANGO ~ Fresh coconut water, coconut milk, fresh mango purée. This was a lightly sweetened refreshing drink. Perfect, if you don't want anything rich and heavy. I added crystal boba for a chewy, bouncy texture for an otherwise silky, smooth drink. Lovely, but somehow I ended up missing sago. I guess too many shops add sago that I've become accustomed to having it included when mango and coconut are together. Silly me! 4/5 ROASTED YAM COCONUT PUDDING CRÈME BRÛLÉE ~ coconut pudding topped with fresh toasted sweet potato purée and house special crème brûlée. This one was really yummy from top to bottom! Thoroughly enjoyed every bite of this! Somewhat rich but not at all heavy. If you like yam, this one's for you! 5/5 I walked in and used their kiosk, since the cashier was busy getting a previous order ready. This spot is brightly lit and clean. Service was efficient and pleasant. And the desserts that they make actually taste and feel healthy. If that's even possible being a dessert. It might seem expensive for a small jar of pudding (roughly $10), but it's made with quality ingredients! That's why I'm a repeat customer and a big fan!

    I didn't realize that coconut based drinks and puddings could be so addicting. I've come to Tong Sui over 10 times and I can firmly say it's one of if not my favorite spot on B street. The drinks are good, not too sweet and they have great toppings/mix-in options. What really makes this place stand out is the pudding. Now you may be wondering, is the pudding that go-- Yes, yes it is. You can ask for a sample if you don't believe me. I've tried a couple of different flavors like the signature, mango mochi, persimmon mochi, mango sticky rice and the new roasted yam crème brûlée. I really like the persimmon mochi as the persimmon flavor mends well with the coconut pudding. The mochi is a nice touch and you can mix it all together so that everything emulsifies. The roasted yam is my second favorite as it has a nice contrast with the pudding. If you are in the area for dessert, I would highly recommend stopping here.

    Tong Sui is a popular Asian dessert shop in San Mateo specializing in silky coconut puddings and refreshing fruit-based beverages. The shop is known for its "not too sweet" flavor profile and use of high-quality ingredients like organic fruits dessert. It was popular for its coconut pudding and specialized on that but overtime they also fruit drink with topping. The shop is small but has some seating area. Ordering is simple using touch screen kiosk. The cocunut pudding is pre-made and the drink is made from order. Currently they have limited time persimmon drink. They don't have any boba tea drink like other boba tea shop. They offer fresh fruit and looks like they add coconut water. The pudding and drink are fresh and refreshing. Pricewise it is is at the higher side compare to regular boba tea drop but ingredients seem good quality one.

    So many different flavors! I love how light and refreshing the drinks and pudding are. They even have vegan options as well! This is a great spot if you're looking for something that's not too sweet :)

    Tong Sui is a small drink shop located in Downtown San Mateo. They have limited indoor seating and a rewards system. The staff are super friendly and even offered my friend and I a sample of their mango coconut pudding (would recommend). Christmas Strawberry (5/5) - SO GOOD! At first I was hesitant to order this drink because I didn't really want a strawberry milkshake. However, the barista recommended that I switch it out for their house coconut milk and it was perfect.

    Amazing option to grab a drink or dessert if you love coconut flavor. But don't worry, coconut isn't all that they've got! Many drinks are coconut free as well. Their drinks and coconut pudding is sweet enough for a sweet treat but not so sweet where you feel sick from the sugar. It also tastes more natural than artificial. Highly recommend the Coco Avocado and any of their coconut pudding. Don't forget to save the jars as you can redeem 10 jars for 1 free pudding. The store itself is very simple with no extravagant decorations. There's ~4 tables inside and another 4 tables outside. They can get pretty busy at night but service is relatively fast.

    Mango sticky rice pudding and strawberry matcha for dessert. Also tried the tanghulu strawberry. We ordered from the kiosk and the order came out promptly. Service is good. There are a couple of small tables inside and outside the store.

    The coconut puddings from Tong Sui are always a solid lightweight dessert option - not overly sweet and low calories, with plenty of flavors to work through, including seasonal ones. Pricing a tad high at ~$10 per jar, but if you bring back 10 clean jars together to recycle, they give you a free one! This time I tried out the taro & ube sago and the black sesame puddings -- both were lovely! I also got the nutty noir drink which was a black sesame drink which came with mini taro balls, really enjoyed this drink as well, very flavorful with the sesame and the taro balls was a great complement (glad this was the default topping option). Staff member was super friendly and quick to offer to take my order (someone else was at the self-order kiosk) and helpful when I asked about the drink description. I do wish their displayed menu included all items (I only noticed some matcha drink options when the side panel menu rotated to show specials and seasonal options) as well as a description so I didn't need to ask (or use the self-kiosk to find out). All in all, another great Tong Sui location. This location is in downtown San Mateo, so parking is bit harder but there are public lots (free on Sundays) nearby and within walking distance. Interior is pretty small, only 3 small tables, so not really a sit down place, but the dessert/drinks are easy to take to go. Service was quite fast as they don't have as extensive of a "drinks" menu compared to boba shops, so should not ever be too much of a wait. I picked it for the fast turnaround and light dessert, will be back if I'm in San Mateo again!

    New Mulberry flavors...all 3 different ones
    Jack R.

    They still have Mulberry drinks, which is my favorite! But, they have freshly cracked coconut drinks too now which mimics their Redwood City location. Note, no coffee drinks here though. It's also watermelon season in case you're into that!

    Delicious and refreshing dairy free desserts! I especially like their served in glass jars to have less plastic.

    First time trying this out, my friends told me these cookies are delicious... well they were right,…read morethe cookies were so good! This shop is small, the service was great and I liked how they also write down on their menu if they are low on cookies and how many are left. They also have a small oven where you can WARM UP YOUR COOKIE(S)! Such a great idea, highly recommend checking this place out for their cookies.

    Ambiance: A small cookie shop located on one of the side…read morestreets in Downtown San Mateo. The shop has a small seating area upon walking in with mainly a counter and the cookies on display for you to pick what you would like to refer. Wait time: Practically no wait time waiting in line or for cookies after placing your order. Service: The workers were nice and greeted upon entry and were quick to put the order together. Order via worker standing behind the counter. Cookies: The 66% chocolate chip had big chunks of chocolate which the bitterness helped balance the cookie. The cookies n cream was a little sweet for me but had again pieces of Oreos inside with a nice texture. The chocolate peanut butter again had both chocolate and creamy peanut butter which didn't leave the mouth dry. The honey comb was a unique and different taste with the honeycomb providing a less common sweetness but can be overpowering. The toffee cookie had bits of toffee which again provided texture without being overly sweet. The oatmeal chocolate walnut cookie was my second favorite after the 66% dark cocoa due to the oatmeal again balancing the sweetness of the chocolate with the saltiness of the walnuts. Overall would recommend for a solid cookie with a fair price and the day olds were also extremely cheap for a better quality than you could get at other places.
