Crazy good desserts wow 10/10 Big enough to share good enough to get your own. Definitely coming back, we got Pan friend red bean gelatinous balls with crushed peanuts and a Rainbow fruit Bubble waffle sundae.

I asked a waiter at the Harborview Restaurant where he goes for “red bean ice” drink. He recommended KTDC. This place makes a delicious “red bean ice” drink. The sesame glutinous balls with crushed peanuts is out of this world, too.👍👍

Check your receipt. I realized Kowloon Tong Desserts didn't remove a tofu desert dish until I got home. They didn't have that dish available and I was charged for it. When I called the same night, the clerk refused to refund me over the phone and told me to come back. Today, I went back and a different crew was working. Luckily the clerk from the previous evening left a note. Still, what a waste of time for me to get a refund when they could have just done it electronically since I charged it on my Visa.

Original review: Kowloon Tong desert cafe has been here since the 90s'? My friend lives up the block and I remember seeing people still in there when I drop him off after bar hopping. It is still the same. The place was filled tonight with people waiting for a table at 9:30pm. The food here is OK. Not the best. The thing that keeps people coming back is that they are open late if you want to have a place to chat after dinner. Good times.

We got the Hong Kong milk tea, pork sandwich with fries, and papaya soy milk stewed dessert.

The milk tea was lukewarm, which was a little disappointing. The pork sandwich was good, but the fries were way too oily. And the papaya soy milk dessert was just not worth $9 at all. Overall, a bit of a disappointing meal, I feel like there are much better HK style restaurants out there!

I've had this place bookmarked forever and finally made it here on a rainy evening & it was perfect! Arrived around 10pm with a few of my girls, and the wait wasn't too long, but the place was fully packed. We put our names on a list behind the door in the wall once you walk in and you wait. We ordered 2 hot desserts & one cold. Coconut sago, coconut black rice, and a Mango sago. They were delicious, that prefect amount of sweetness that want too much & more all of a hint to enhance the natural flavors. I'd highly recommend it if you want a dessert that isn't overly sweet.

The only reason I have it a 4 star is because i had to rewipe the table with handsanitizer because it smelled like they wiped the table down with a rag that needed to be changed out 😮‍💨
