About Car's Dessert

Car's Dessert is a popular spot in Richmond, known for its delicious mango mochi and other desserts, including baked tapioca pudding. The desserts are not overly sweet, with the mango pudding being a favorite among customers. The black sesame pudding is also appreciated, though some customers suggest improvements, such as roasting the sesame for better aroma. The atmosphere is casual and laid-back, featuring a cozy seating area. Prices are reasonable, and the staff is helpful and friendly. Customers should be aware of a cash-only payment system. There is often a line-up at opening time, so it is best to arrive later if in a rush. Parking can be challenging, so extra time for that is recommended. Customers have praised the freshly made mochi, the subtle sweetness of the milk with papaya, and the delicious durian and mango mochi with their thin, silky-soft layers. The restaurant is known for its traditional Chinese desserts, though some have found the coconut pudding to be more mushy than expected. Despite the small size and limited parking, customers have returned multiple times, drawn by the high-quality desserts.

What I got: mango mochi (8/10) - good texture, not overly sweet, good filling to mochi ratio but pricey

Notes: They have a 2.4% surcharge for card, $20 card minimum, preference for cash, you need to buy in increments of 4, and there’s only certain sets so you can’t get create your own set of 4. Also very limited parking.
This mochi is the best!

The mango mochi is creamy, soft, and sweet. The mango itself is perfectly ripe. It is my favorite.

The purple yam mochi is also tasty (and beautiful), but I do think the freshness of the mango wins out. I have previously tried the chestnut mochi and enjoyed it, and my friend who enjoys durian says their durian mochi is excellent. The sampler mochi tray with each flavor (yam, mango, chesnut, and durian) is definitely worthwhile.

Mochi is so soft. Filling is not overly sweet and compliments the mochi perfectly.
