This was so delicious! Rich matcha flavor and not too sweet. Good sized portion too. Try this when you're there!

Via Tokyo probably has the best green ice cream I've ever had. There is no shortage of flavor like most matcha desserts I've tried. Their matcha cake was delicious and moist as well. The place was really cozy and a nice spot for a date and/or hanging out with friends and family. Only annoying thing is that you can't get an ice cream cone unless you're taking it to go. Wish they would change that!

Via Tokyo is a Japanese chain in HK. Supposedly they have a lot of locations in Japan but I didn't see any there in my last 2 trips to Japan. The one is HK is quite popular though and I had to stop in to see what the hype was about. I read that there is usually a wait but I got there at 7pm on a weekday and there was no wait. We were seated right away and ordered a green tea vanilla and green tea hojicha. I really enjoyed both. However, I liked the green tea vanilla more. The green tea soft serve is quite strong in flavor and so is the hojicha. The sweet vanilla flavor is great to balance out the slight bitterness of matcha. The fruit toppings and mochi are also very good. The service was decent and our order came out quickly. I don't know if I would make it here again if it's out of the way but it's a solid dessert spot.

Matcha soft serve made with Hokkaido milk.

There was a long line when we got there, so we decided to get something to go. Via Tokyo specializes in desserts and drinks made with matcha, such as soft serve, pastries and latte. We got the matcha soft serve in a cone. Their soft serve is made with Hokkaido milk, which gives it a silky and creamy texture. I like that it's not too sweet, and you can tell that it's made with real matcha powder, which leaves a bit of a bitter aftertaste. Being a lover of matcha, I would love if the matcha taste is stronger though. Portion is good- perfect amount to be shared by 2 people after a meal. At $32, it is great value for desserts in Hong Kong.

My favorite place for Hong Kong dessert! I come here probably a little too much, and any time…read morefriends and family visit Hong Kong, I always make an excuse to bring them here! Don't let the giant queue scare you, and yes there is almost always a queue. Despite that, it moves fairly fast. Its definitely not a place where you sit and chat with your friends. They expect you to sit down, order right away, eat it, and leave right away. But I guess many popular places are like that around Hong Kong.. Seating-wise its very cramp here. You'll be sitting basically elbow to elbow with strangers next and behind you. But that doesn't matter because their desserts are so wonderful! Some of my favorites are the tong yuen (glutinous rice balls) that come come with peanut sauce. The one that comes in the ginger soup is good too (for this dish, the balls have fillings inside, such as sesame or peanut sauce). Another good one is their sorbets, which are perfect for a hot day.

Heyyyy, do you like durian? Or even want to give it a shot despite the crazy smell it may emit or…read morethe odd taste it might exude? I believe one of the ways to try durian without having to be afraid of it is by tasting it through the various dessert dishes here at this cute little place. Having no idea that this place existed, I was pretty thankful to my new local friend who suggested this place. It's located in a small little street, similar to an alley way, and by the time you get near it, you'll definitely see a long line of people waiting to get in. The wait itself isn't that bad. Most people just come here to eat dessert and leave right after. Once seated, my friends and I spent some time browsing through the extensive dessert menu and settled on trying the durian with crystal seeds (one of the many popular dishes) and watermelon and lychee with crystal seeds. In summary, the watermelon and lychee were ok. The watermelon ended up being too watery for my taste and the lychee wasn't too memorable. Both tasted decent but definitely not a must try. For the durian, this was surprisingly good! I am normally not a durian fan (the stench gets to me sometime) but here, you couldn't really smell too much of the durian in the dish. The taste of durian was also soften quite a bit, making this dish a bit more doable for those who do not like durian. I found this dish to be pretty tasty and not too sweet and it was unique to eat it with the crystal seeds. Overall, this is a great spot to stop by for desserts. If you're not a fan of durian but can tolerate the smell of it wafting through the restaurant, this place is great to try other HK desserts at an affordable price.

It only makes sense that Hong Kong's first and most popular location of Via Tokyo, also happens to…read morebe it's last remaining one. There was a time when soft serve became all the rage, and Via Tokyo was there through it all. While I miss the TST location (#1), this Causeway Bay version has a bit of seating and all the Japanese-inspired vibes one can ask for. Like most HK shops, the seating is tight and limited. There are wall-facing counter spots, along with a handful of tables for small groups. The wait is likely during the hot weather days (#2), but the turnover is quick since ice cream is consumed and melts quickly. The staff is young and friendly, doing their best to keep the ice cream coming while helping folks navigate the seating. Cones and cups range for roughly $40-45. The Hokkaido milk is my absolute favorite, smooth and creamy, and reminiscent of some of the ones I've had from Japan. Houjicha and matcha are the more popular items here, which take up a majority of the orders and is especially pretty when made into a bowl with fruits and other sweets. The moment of food photography won't last long, as the ice cream will begin to melt in less than a minute. HK dessert options are always revered. Thus, so is Via Tokyo and I hope they manage to stick around as long as possible. They take Alipay, Octopus, and of course, cash. ____________ (#1) Forever immortalized: https://www.yelp.com/biz/via-tokyo-香港-2?hrid=jtpxWsnvwDSZgQu9s6kF5g (#2) Which is often.

Via Tokyo has great matcha! They don't have much seating inside so expect to wait for a bit…read moreoutside. Don't think takeout is an option. Small interior. Matcha ice cream is rich and creamy! Would highly recommend. Matcha roll didn't have as much flavor as ice cream but still decent. Very efficiently run and quick to receive ice cream after you order. Note that you do need to go up to the counter and order, they won't come to you to take your order but will bring your food out.
