The amount of calamari is sooo little, especially when compared to the popcorn chicken… it’s also way too salty. I had a great experience last time so I ordered it again, but this time it’s so disappointing!

My favorite boba place. The Mango Sago is unreal and the best drink I've ever

The black sesame tang yuan is more than 6$ for 3 balls! Seems pretty expensive and average tasting.Mochi waffle with ice cream also tasted average with an above average price. Also got paged while I was there.Also my pet peeve is they give you everything on one-time use utensils and containers. Makes everything feel cheapSo overall mid experience, nothing very memorable

The ice cream had melted by the time they called us to pick up the order. Definitely will not return.

I've popped by this place for a quick takeout dessert whenever I'm in the area. My go-to dessert here is the sesame mochi balls in black sesame paste. It's not too sweet with the perfect balance of savory and sweet and comforting warmth to eat. I've only tried two other items- Oreo Cocoa Smoothie: If you're a fan of Oreos, you definitely want to order this. Caffeine-free for anyone who might be worried about drinking this in the evening. - Snowflake Cup with ice cream: I had this with boba and mango toppings. Service is always friendly, even during busy shifts. Use the Snackpass app to order in advance to save yourself the wait in line.

Stuff is good but … 40 minutes wait on a weekday night at 9pm… go with that expectation

My friend and I were looking for a decent dessert place to sit down and chat after dinner in the area. We stumbled upon Sweet Moment and decided to take our chances here. However, the menu was more limited than we thought and it definitely seemed like more of a drinks place than your traditional Chinese desserts. We got the Mango Momoko with ice cream, and we were a bit disappointed with the portion size of the dessert. It just looked a little sad and unappetizing. The dessert was just artificial mango syrup with minimal mango bits. Will definitely be looking elsewhere for better Chinese desserts next time.

I don't think the hot desserts are as good as Meet Fresh, and the shaved ice Fresh is not the best "bingsoo" either. I prefer beignets over fried mochi.

Fantastic dessert shop right off the main downtown street. Have tried many things on the menu and everything is delicious!

Grass jelly doesn't have fresh flavor, and it is not hot enough for the jelly to be in liquid. The cream soup isn't creamy. It's nothing compared to hot grass jelly at Meet Fresh nearby. If Meet Fresh hot grass jelly is an 8, this place hot grass jelly is a 3.

One of my go to spots for Asian desserts in the peninsula. My favorite is the waffle with Matcha ice cream. It's fluffy and the right amount of sweetness. The warm waffle balances the coldness of the ice cream :) It wasn't the best Matcha ice cream I've had, as it was, not very creamy. I wasn't a huge fan of the mango ice cream because it didn't have mango flavor. I have also tried in my opinion wasn't really worth it. They put very little amount of fruit even though it's an additional side. the sago itself didn't have much flavor at all. The handmade mochi balls were quite chewy and good, but also very few and sparse in between. I'll stick with waffles.

This place is open quite late which is good if you spend a long time at a somewhat late dinner and want boba afterwards!There are order kiosks outside but you can order inside (might have to pay cash).The drinks are a little on the pricey side. My mango peach tea with boba was over $7! I did find my drink to be quite good. I liked the chewy soft boba. The peach bits were great. I opted for no added sugar and I thought the sweetness from the fruit and the boba was enough for me.
