I have tried desserts from here but this was my first time coming here in person. The place is packed, even during the day they have a line. I ordered #2 and a coconut milk dessert with taro, which was very good. I also ordered the sesame balls, they are 3 for $1. Finding parking is hard, the restaurant is located in a small corner shopping center where there is 4 to 5 restaurants and a liquor store. #1 has beans and coconut milk, not too sweet but definitely not my favorite or will order again. #2 was really good, it's sweet but perfect!

I have been coming here since the 1990s when I went to UCI. These days, I only get to visit this place once a year when I come home from MD. Love the 3 colored dessert, the sweet rice and cassava/banana in coconut milk. FYI. It’s cash only. Although this means that I have to stop by at an atm since I don’t use or carry cash. But worth every time.

Indulge yourself in a Vietnamese dessert paradise! Whenever my partner and I are in the area, we always make it a point to stop by for some indulgent afternoon treats. The che chuoi, with its perfect combination of banana, coconut sauce, tapioca, and casava, is always my partner's favorite, while I can never resist the 3 color dessert, a generous cup filled with delicious toppings like red beans, mung bean paste, and tapioca. Despite the crowds and overwhelming number of choices, you can't go wrong with anything here. The quality and taste of the desserts are always top-notch. The only downside is the parking can be a bit of a hassle during peak hours, so be sure to keep an eye out for available street parking. Not all the workers here speak English so if you can bring a Vietnamese friend, that will be best. They also have a young worker that can help with translating what each tray contains if you're curious on what to try. Pro tip: Bring cash as they don't accept credit cards. You can always Venmo the owner but it's just easier to have extra cash handy.

Hole in the wall spot for Vietnamese desserts and little bites to eat. Imagine all sorts of street foods that you find in Vietnam; this is the place to pick up all your favorite dishes in one place! Service is prompt, most of the associates speak Vietnamese with very limited English. I recommend ordering in Vietnamese or bring someone who can speak to expedite the ordering process. Portions are large and prices are good.

I don’t speak Vietnamese but I managed to order here several times by pointing and make hand symbols. It’s definitely not ideal for both ends, but the che here is so delicious that it’s worth the long drive and difficulty ordering. All of the desserts here taste wonderful and the che thai is packed with a variety of jellies, tapioca pearls, and fruits. I absolutely love this place and wish it were closer to home.
