Always go for their 龜苓膏 whenever we visit Toronto.
The mango purple rice dessert was great, and we love a no tip establishment!
It’s not bad. Not great. Mostly I don’t enjoy eating hot food out of a plastic container especially when you order it for here and not to go. If they serve out of plastic, they should change their photos to show that instead of beautiful porcelain.

本草堂 Sweet Turtle Desserts is a cozy spot specializing in traditional Hong Kong-style desserts and herbal teas that are notably rich and full-bodied. The menu features delightful creamy desserts and fresh fruits, all without added ingredients. Service is quick and efficient, contributing to a pleasant dining experience. Although seating is available, the interior is somewhat snug. Popular items include the Tofu Pudding, Walnut Soup, Mango Pomelo Sago, and Black Sesame Milk Pudding. The Mango Durian Sago is particularly praised for its perfectly ripe durian that pairs well with sweet mango and chewy sago pearls. Prices are reasonable considering the quality of the food and the convenience of not having to cook or clean up. Customers also enjoy the smooth almond squash soup with black sesame paste mix, refreshing mango delight, soya bean tofu with ginger syrup, and black and white sesame paste. The store has been open since 1996, and its traditional herbal teas and desserts are highly recommended after lunch or dinner.
