Mango Yummy

First time here, came at 10:30 pm, still a lot of people, crazy busy. We ordered mango jelly and bubble tea, not much ice taste so good.

The food is so good here if you like mango! It’s a super cute place to just chill and eat with friends. I love how they use fresh mangos and strawberries unlike some other places. I do feel like the shaved ice is reasonably priced compared to other shaved ice locations I have been to. Their tapioca drinks are super delicious too and I definitely recommend them!
Been here twice within 3 days haha! Minus one star though because some items are a little too expensive for what they are.

I figured I’d give this place a try for their mango tapioca. It didn’t have much taste to it. Just not what I was expecting. The mango itself was fine.
The crêpe was below average. I wouldn’t recommend trying this.
Customer service was lacking even though it was not very busy.
Overall, my money could’ve been better spent elsewhere.

How can I rate this less than 1 star. This place was just rude. So much to say that it’s a business that really cares about customer service *sarcasm*. They say their business hours is until 11:00pm. Let me provide you with some precautions before you plan on providing this place your business and your money.
If you plan to have a drink, dessert, or anything on the menu… get there an hour early before closing. IF you get there 40 minutes before closing, your order will be made to go. Although you can sit for the meantime, but once it hits closing time… they will tell you to leave. Even if you had a fork and in the middle of a bite, they will go up to you and say we’re closed. In lament terms, GET OUT! I will note that it will be in a rude, careless way too. Once you step foot out the door, immediately they are there to lock the doors.
I ordered a sweet soup which was extremely too hot to consume. It was as if it was done purposely so that we can just leave. The staff were not friendly. They looked like they didn’t want us there to begin with. There were 7 of us. A reserved family who just wanted to have some family time. No intention to have an all nighter, just a few minutes to finish our items and then leave.
VERY bad customer service. There are other places that serve similar menu items. Seriously, you’d probably get better customer service at another place. The menu items were average. Not worth a business if they don’t care about customer service.

2.5 Star
I love Mango and I am crazy about Durian. Mango Yummy just kind of the perfect place for me,
On a Saturday night, 20 minute before closing time, this place was packed! Extra 1 star for the cheerful and friendly attitude of all the staff. Still taking orders even being so patient with us even it took us awhile to decide on what we want.
We ordered 3 items: Mango, Durian and Tofu Pudding (hot), Mango all cut up in random shapes and in a different degree of ripeness, Tofu Pudding was served in a tall cup in form of a drink? Durian probably the one I enjoyed the most.
Since I was only in town for the weekend, I am not sure if there are other options of mango dessert in the area, But it was not worth a special trip unless you are in the neighbourhood,

After a couple rounds of mini golf my cousin suggested this place bc she adores everything mango… it’s almost an obsession it’s weird… but hey I guess someone feels the same way bc everything here is MANGO. It was busy for a random weekday night but we didnt have to wait long for our order. She had the mango slush with pearls and a mango mochi. I had the mango jelly and an oreo mochi. Both were very good! They do have other items like crepes and toast but mostly dessert style goodies. I will go back bc I did like the mochi very much. A bit crowded though so take your order to go.

[Mango Overload]
If you LOVE mango and in need of a diabetic-​inducing dessert, this is the place for you. The majority of their menu is comprised of various combinations of mango, sago (small clear tapioca balls), and grapefruit. I went with the tofu dessert beverage which was heavily topped with the aforementioned ingredients. I also got a taste of their signature mango tapioca beverage and it was epic! It’s hard to go wrong with anything on the menu — almost everything is mango-​heavy. There’s even some mango-​free crepes and mochis. I like that they’ve got some decent dessert offerings compared with just bubble tea.
Mango Yummy occupies a small shop across the street from Richmond center. There’s causal seating for 20 or so but it can get tight — takeout is recommended. The parking situation is a bit dire as they share a small lot with multiple other businesses. (Mall parking possible but keep an eye out for the parking guys).

I’ve been going to Mango Yummy since they opened and loved it especially the hot sweet soups, but now its gone downhill.
At first I never minded that the prices were priced higher then others cause it was good and portions were a bit bigger than other dessert stores but now, the prices are the same with the portion sizes that were 75% of its original (approximately) and tastes watered down. Compared to other dessert shops the new size of mango yummy’s portion would be approximately half mango yummy’s price, to me it is a complete ripoff.
The system that they have in place is more disorganized and for specific items, the wait became much longer, it took them 30+ minutes to get me my drink and hot sweet soup to go.
This will be the last time I order from them, off to find a new dessert shop.

Mango Yummy started out at the Richmond Night Market, and late last year, they opened their first store just across Richmond Centre on No. 3 Road. The interior is rather small, so you may need to get take out if it’s really busy. You first order at the front and then they will call your name for pick up.
I came here looking to get some mango type of cold dessert, but I have no idea how S convinced me into getting two durian desserts… Apparently there is a durian menu and so we ended up with the Durian Shaved Ice as one of our desserts… A big bowl of ice with blobs of durian and topped with vanilla ice cream and condensed milk. I wished that the condensed milk was unlimited, but it wasn’t. Well the durian was creamy and fragrant and I think durian lovers will enjoy this dessert. This is one of their pricier shaved ice though since durian is expensive.
And next was the Durian Pancake. The pancake was thin and soft, but very smooth. It was topped with some whipped cream and chocolate pearls.
The durian again was very creamy so this dessert is quite mushy with all the cream. You get quite a good amount of durian though.
Overall, based on these two durian items, I thought Mango Yummy was pretty good and I would revisit to try their other items. I guess this visit should be called more like Durian Yummy for us though…
Pros:
— Large variety of desserts — hot and cold
— Reasonable prices for what you get
Cons:
— Not much seating
— Don’t expect any service

This is my go-​to place for a no fuss dessert in Richmond.
Sure, it’s kind of expensive. But if you look at other shaved ice or mango dessert places, they are all coming up at the same price once you leave.
Here, you get a nice dessert you can share between two for 8 $
At other places, they start at $ 5, but if you wanted to add all the things they have here– mango, mochi, ice cream– you’d bring your dessert up to 8 $ too.
The parking lot is likely always full so consider parking at the mall parking lot and walking across the street. Lack of parking = no big deal. It’s Richmond– lots of free parking around.
My go to here is the shaved ice with mango and mochi. Or the mango sago drink, which is pretty much the same thing but in a cup.
The narrow room doesn’t hold many people and it might be difficult to get a spot in the evenings.
Really, all you need to do is think about whether or not you want to spend $ 5 per person at a dessert place like this, or go to a bubble tea place.
Sure, the desserts here don’t match up to HK or Taiwan standards– but… I don’t think any in Richmond do. So for what this place is, in context of other Richmond places– I’ll be back.
(Tip– don’t get bbt here– it’s way expensive).

Every time I drive by Mango Yummy, the parking lot is always full. The wraparound glass windows allow me to glance inside, revealing groups of groups of what looks to be teenagers. This leaves me skeptical, as I didn’t expect too much of it. So when my friends suggested that we come here for an after dessert, I thought, «Why not?»
Their menu consists of lots of mango drinks and shaved ice, resonating with their name. However, I was more drawn to the green tea ice cream and red bean shaved ice. There was a bit of wait as there were a couple of orders ahead of us. The place is small, so grab a table while you’re waiting.
I must say, for $ 8, I really expected more. There was too little ice in relation to the toppings. They also give you some mochi pieces of top but it seems like they’re a bit undercooked and too chewy and they stuck together. There’s one scoop of green tea ice cream, and some sweet red bean. At 11pm sharp, they close and get everyone to leave immediately. It was a bit awkward and abrupt, as some people had not finished their drinks and desserts yet.

Their #1 drink is the Signature Mango Sago & Grapefruit but I don’t really like grapefruit so I just got their Mango Tapioca. It had coconut milk with tapioca, mango syrup, and fresh mango on top. Tbh, I was a bit confused as to how to eat this because they didn’t give us a straw or anything — just a spoon. I tried eating it with a spoon but that didn’t really work for me haha. so we just asked for straws and it was much easier! Anyways, it was indeed full of mango yummy-​ness! The fresh mango was a bit sour but sweet for the most part. I just wish there were more of it! I ate the mangoes too quickly that I was left with just coconut milk and tapioca by the end of it. The drink was HUGE and very filling due to the coconut milk but somehow I still managed to finish the whole thing by myself!
Although it was a nice, refreshing drink, I wouldn’t come back very often. Their mango drinks are already $ 6.50 — more expensive than your regular bubble tea. I’m glad I got to try it but I don’t think it’s worth the price… unless they add waaay more fresh fruit: P

My colleague recommended this place. But again because my colleague is from HK, she likes this kind of dessert. Its interesting but the taste is quite awkward. I am not a big fan with so much stuff in my drink. Its very filling lots of mango and sago so in my dictionary this is not a drink. Its a dessert in a cup.
Décor is ok. Not too many seating and this place is quite busy. If you come before 8pm, you have a luck in finding a seat or else you will have to have it to go.

After having wings at a nearby pub, we decided to go somewhere for food and end the night on a good note. So we ended up here.
Walked in and the first thing I notice is the smell of durian. I don’t like durian. However, it was still tolerable. Heck I don’t even like mangoes, why am I at a place with mango in its name? Second thing I notice, it’s cash only.
I ordered the strawberry and mochi shaved ice with vanilla ice cream. It was not bad, the ice cream was good (but how can vanilla ice cream go wrong?), and the strawberries and mochi were decent. The shaved ice could probably use some syrup for more taste. While the dish was good, I personally don’t think it’s worth the $ 8 or $ 9 for it.

We found this through Unilocal and thought we would give it a try. We had the mango-​mochi shaved ice dessert and overall it was quite delicious. The mangoes were fresh and sweet but the mini-​mochis were slightly underwhelming. Not chewy enough! (The food court location in Parker Place is much better if you’re looking for a delicious shaved ice with mini-​mochis.)
For what we paid, we would definitely go back. While we were able to secure a seat, Mango Yummy is a fairly small store across from Richmond Centre with limited seating. Hence, we felt rushed to leave.
Will definitely come back to try the $ 1 mochi!

This place is a flat out 3.5 stars for me based on their services, atmosphere and the food itself.
I’ve been here twice. Both at peak hours of the day and week. Luckily I was able to find seating for 2 and seating for 5. Its a pretty small place and parking is also limited. The people working behind the counter generally only speak Chinese with limited English. Like when you order in English, you should just tell them the number vs what it actually is cause they may not catch you properly. It doesn’t look like they have a system on how their orders should be or how to serve people. So in other words, there may be a long wait for you or your order may be wrong.
I also want to say, if you hate the smell of durian I suggest you to not stay here for long or even walk in. Once they make one durian dessert, the whole place smells like durian. From what I remember, they have durian pancake and mochi. I also witness this one time that this customer ordered mango pancake, But cause you can’t see the inside of the pancake, she got the durian one. Man, she spat it right out and was hardcore looking for water. It was such a funny scene. I totally understand how she felt when you were thinking it’s mango in the middle but you got durian.
The food itself is ok. No complaints nor is there one thing I love a lot that I have to go back for it. But I think in order to enjoy the dessert properly, I suggest you to take it to go. This place does make good mango desserts hence the name mango yummy. But personally I just don’t like being in the store for too long. I would suggest people to come and try it out if you enjoy mango and don’t mind the smell of durian.

Come for the take-​out and don’t have the highest of expectations if you are having one of the shaved ices eating in. I’ve already denounced the few staple Chinese dessert places in Richmond for the lackluster quality of sweets they have been serving up to the masses over the last few years and Richmond is always looking for one to raise the crown as the best Chinese sweet treat to have and one as popular as this place that seemed to have planted it’s seed at the Richmond Night Market would be a great fit for a store that opens year round. Looking through many of my friends pictures during that summer fest, these big cups of mango mochi kept on showing up, and it was from these people who called themselves ‘Mango Yummy’… well Richmond has a whole slew of weird names, this isn’t the first… and will not be the last!
So with a pack of female sweet-​toothed mouths in check that needed sweets after just having sweets, we rolled on by here at around 6 PM on a Saturday. The place was mildly busy, it was sunny out, and why be cooped up in a place like this… as we decided to do. Even with the bright daylight shining outside, this place is dark inside with all the dark wooden furniture, you enter the door and bam… the glass showing refrigerator is right in your face with mochi surprise, small little bite-​sized fresh glutinous gooey rice dough with some real fresh fillings. Be warned before you go in… this place smells like the king of fruit… THAT king of fruit… durian, so if you ‘no like’ the smell, this is not a place you will be able to take for too long sitting around while your clothes sucks up all the smell (oh yum yum). That being said, onto the treats that we had.
So knowing that we were going to take the mochi’s to go, and one of the worker’s said they were in the process of making a fresh batch of durian ones… we waited and decided to order one of their mango shaved ice’s. These things are served in clear disposable plastic bowls and look great if your posting on instagram… but in some ways if you have had these at the competitor (ahem. Icy Bar) you realize that you get more from them. and these just look good. but really they are just full of ice… the cheapest ingredient. It’s really too bad. I can see you can pull this off at the Summer Night Market… but if you haven’t had shaved ice anywhere else you won’t fall into my boat of being ripped off.
The real prize here is their handmade, fresh, mochi. Multiple flavours, with durian being the all-​popular favorite. They are bite sized, each for $ 1 which is not bad, and they do taste fresh, and amazingly enough do keep for another day, as evident to the ones I gave to a ‘nomnomnivore’ who had one for the night. and decided to eat another the next day… same great freshness.
As I say, come here for the mochi, I will however try their stuff again, and hopefully it does get better. If you ever want a place where the rich youthful Chinese want to impress their girlfriends… this also seems to be the place, as I saw a hideously galaxy wrapped Lamborghini, a Ferrari. and other exotic cars come in… have dessert and leave… also a note, if you come too early. like once they open, you may not get any mochi. as they are not ready yet!

I have had this place bookmarked for awhile but what finally drew me in was the tiramisu mochi. Today, I walked in and got the last one! I also tried the durian mochi and the green tea red bean mochi. My BF got a mango panna cotta and I got a tofu pudding drink with taro.
I found the tofu pudding drink to be so strange. This is usually a dessert you eat in a bowl. There was a hint of coconut and several chunks of taro. It was OK. The panna cotta had good mango flavor but I think the texture was a bit off.
The mochi were soft and pillowy. My favorite was probably the tiramisu because the creamy center had a strong espresso flavor.
Overall, nothing I tried was worth coming back for.

Mango Yummy is situated in the heart of Richmond, right across from Richmond Centre and is seriously one of the best late-​night HK dessert places in the GVA.
You’ll find a lot of traditional HK desserts such as the classic Mango Pomelo Sago Soup (their version comes in a bubble tea cup with a straw), black sesame soup, various shaved ice desserts, and mochi! We love how they include tax in their prices, keeping part of their original night market stand menu rather than making things complicated with change and such.
My only gripe about the café is that you have to wait a very long time for a table and because many people order take-​out, the desserts normally take a very long time to make. This obviously isn’t their fault and of course, popularity is a positive thing but I’m just a very impatient guy.

This holiday season, I went up to stay with the girlfriend’s family in Richmond. Apparently this restaurant is the permanent location of what started as a popular stand at the Richmond night markets in the summer time. And personally, I think the transition to a permanent store is really paying off for the business. I only got the opportunity to stop by twice during my trip, but both times, the place was busy with lots of customers and the desserts were consistently amazing as well. Considering I was here when temperatures hovered around freezing, yet people were still demanding iced desserts, they must make some damn good desserts.
Both times I ordered the Mango and Grapefruit Sago Shaved Ice, once to eat in and once to take home. Portions are fairly decent, but for $ 8 the place is a tad on the more expensive side, but just barely. You get a bowl of shaved ice with condensed milk, fresh cut mangoes, grapefruit (probably from a can) and sago (small clear pearls). Nothing crazy or unique but the quality of the mangoes in winter time was thoroughly impressive. I can only hope that they don’t deteriorate in quality over time to cut costs as many of these types of places tend to do.
Besides the slightly higher price point, the only other complaint I can give this place is that because it is such a small place, it is not only hard to get seating, but you also have to wait quite a long time for your dessert. The first time I was here, the wait wasn’t too bad (approximately 10 minutes? which is definitely reasonable). But the second time, there was a whole crowd of people waiting for their desserts and we had to wait upwards of 15 minutes to get our desserts. I don’t blame them due to the small size of their business, but definitely plan to wait if you are going to be stopping by!
