Phoenix Dessert

I only come here for ONE thing and one thing only — the mixed fruits tapioca drink. You essentially have coconut milk, honey dew, watermelon, and mango with tiny, pearly tapioca balls in a cup. The ice is crushed and every sip is a little bit of heaven. It’s a perfect combination of sweet, cold, and yummy goodness. I’m glad I don’t have to travel down to Irvine or Arcadia for this anymore… But then again… It’s definitely worth it.

OMG! I felt like I walked into heaven. All of my favorite treats in one place.
Almond Egg White purée (hot soup), macaroons, coconut taro pudding, shredded tofu & edamame salad, marinaded tofu, and more. So delicious! I felt like the phoenix rising.
I’ll be back for sure.

I thought this was more of a sit-​down café, but it isn’t. They only have one or two tables to sit from what I remember. I entered the building thinking it was a café, in which I could spend hours talking with my friend munching on sweet desserts, but nope. So I was looking around seeing what I wanted to eat for dessert. And…
YAAAAAAS, I found some cute little egg tarts and brought them home. Tried it, it was yummers. It saddened me a little knowing that one egg tart fit in my mouth and melted away in a few bites.
I’ll be back for some egg tarts and try some of their drinks next time. See you soons!

A Chinese bakery that sells dessert drinks. It’s located inside the busy plaza of Tea Station. We were quenching for a cold drink and wanted to try something new. There were a variety of Chinese desserts down to different flavors of mochi, durian rolls, tiramisu flan, fruit pudding, tapioca drinks, and puff pastry. We asked which was the most popular drinks and the worker suggested the number # 1 which was the fruit tapioca drink and the tropical iced tea. The #1 is basically a coconut based drink with little bite size pieces of fruits and clear tapioca balls (not the typical black tapioca). If you’re a fan of coconut then you would enjoy the drink but as for me I’m not a big fan. The consistency of the drink was too thick for my taste and I wish they would’ve put bigger pieces of fruits. It was hard to tell which fruit I was tasting because it would quickly dissolve in my mouth since it was so tiny. The tropical iced tea though was very refreshing and this drink also has fruit pieces. Worth trying!

I have been craving Phoenix desserts for a while and was thrilled when I found this place in the South Bay.
It’s located in a shopping center, so there’s plenty of parking. The service was meh… I had to get their attention to order when I was the only customer there.
This branch seems to have less customers than the others. The store is quite small and the seating is limited (3 tables). The seating consisted of white plastic chairs and tables, which started to blacken… so this was very unappealing.
I ordered the black sesame and almond hot dessert with the black sesame mochi. I’ve had this at other Phoenix dessert restaurants and really enjoyed it, but I was unsatisfied with my order at this branch. There were solidified chunks of the black sesame in my bowl due to the lack of customers who order this and the fact that it’s pre-​made. The mochi was okay.
Overall, I wouldn’t come here for their hot desserts. I might consider their cold desserts if I visit again.

We always pay this place a visit when we’re visiting relatives in Redondo Beach. Never fails. Always awesome!

This is a pretty small Phoenix location, with only 3 – 4 small tables. It still has the usual mochi, pudding, durian rolls, and mini egg tarts to go.
I got the black sesame coconut with sticky rice item off the hot dessert menu and it was pretty good, nothing special. It came out very fast, definitely out of one of those huge vats so it’s probably been sitting for a while. The mochi was okay. Ambiance pretty meh.
Good place to hang out and grab quick dessert, but no frills.
More like 3.5 stars but rounding down because the other Phoenix locations I’ve been to were better.

We specifically came here just for the durian rolls, but I’m not a fan of durian. The appeal of this place is probably the rolls, cause the dessert aren’t all that great.
We had time to spare and ordered dessert. I had the Sesame ice cream with Silky tofu and Sago. Didn’t taste any sesame flavor in the ice cream and the silky tofu was pretty bland unless you mix it thoroughly with the ice cream.
I’ve had better chinese desserts elsewhere.

Where have you been hiding all these years Phoenix Dessert??? I first discover this place when I found Jalisco and boy was I delighted to have found two awesome place in one day! It’s in the same parking lot as US Bank so you can’t miss it on Redondo Beach Blvd. This little gem is tuck on far left corner.
They carried a huge assortment of pastries & cold plated platter & most importantly the HK milk tea on point!!! *hearts in my eyes*
The two girls working in there is really helpful & super nice! My recommendation TRY EVERYTHING esp the HK Milk Tea!

Came her specifically for something mango-​y and came out exactly what I wanted. I got the coconut mango rolls and they were a little steep at $ 5 for 3 rolls, but worth it! I would defintiely suggest eating them right away so they stay fresh. The mango was super sweet and ripe and the coconut mochi layer was the perfect soft consistency. Thought it looks small, one roll is actually pretty filling and perfect if you don’t want something something super sweet!

The egg puff things are made to order and they are so darn good and addictive! The whole thing comes right off the hot grill, and you can eat it however you’d like! Need more of these things around town in my life!
The mango roll was delicious too. It’s a sweetened fluffy delicate mochi blanket with real mangoes in the middle. There are flakes of coconut shavings on top. So good!

This place feels underrated and that’s okay! Maybe it’s because not many people have tried asian desserts that consist of flavored tapioca or mochi filled sweets or even those soft egg puffs. (There’s much more that I know I didn’t mention) Whenever I go here, I’ll see more older people, maybe the younger adults would flock over next door where there’s like two other boba shops and not notice this place. But it’s worth a try when you wanna try an asian fruity twist than your normal dessert options.
Btw: This place is tucked away in the corner of the plaza next to book off or to the left side of Marukai.

It seems like they may have raised their prices a tad, but that doesn’t stop us from getting the Mixed Fruits Tapioca! Yum yum… Perfect on a hot day and if you’re craving something sweet but not as heavy as boba after a meal. They have egg puffs now MADE FRESH!!! AH YAY! Good thing this isn’t closer to our place.
I’ve had their warm dessert soups and they are just OK (black sesame is REALLY too thick for me). Come here for the drinks!

Mixed tapioca drink is my favorite! It’s refreshing and while not being overly sweet.
Place is never really too busy and is a great alternative to Oko or Tea Station since they typically have long waits for drinks.
They have a wide selection for desserts as well as food too. Macarons I would pass on. Sample mochi was pretty bland, I would definitely try their rolls as all of them were really good.
It’s a small bakery with maybe two or three tables and one outside.
Good alternative if you’re in the area and want to try something different.

Their mixed fruit tapioca is delicious if you like coconut milk based desserts. It’s sweet (but not too sweet) and refreshing with all the watermelon, mango and other fruit bits. I’m not a fan of the small tapioca but it doesn’t stop me from getting this drink.
The coconut mango rolls are good too. It’s mango wrapped in mochi covered in coconut flakes.
If you’re coming with a friend and getting drinks as well, I think one piece per person is enough. (Comes with 3 pieces)

I tried their egg puffs, tiramisu and they’re delicious! My husband had the tapioca and it was also very good. We ended up looking for a dessert place after dinner and found this great place. We definitely want to come again whenever we are in the area. They have a few selections to choose from but honestly everything looked yummy. You must check it out!

Found this little gem after dinner not to far from here. They had numerous options for drinks and desserts. We tried the creeme brulee w berries which was good. The assorted fruit tapioca drink was amazing. We also decided to try the little waffle looking little balls, sont remeber the name, but Indo remember how wonderful it tasted. They make it right in front of you, so its warm and fluffy ince you try it. Really enjoyed this place, will definitely make the drive to come back and have some more items like the mango rolls that looked great.

*Review #57/​365 for 2015
It used to be only in the 626 would you find these Phoenix spots. Though this isn’t the full service boutique you would find in Arcadia, Rowland Heights, etc., this has the one thing I L-​O-​V-​E the most… MIXED FRUIT TAPIOCA! It’s coconut milk based cold drink that has bits of fresh fruit and tiny tapioca pears! It’s good, it’s refreshing and not too sweet. I usually ask for extra tapioca because I love the texture of those things. A friend and I shared the egg puff pastry pull apart thing. It’s has the bubble wrap look we all have the guilty pleasure of popping, but with a waffle like taste. No syrup needed… sweetened just right! I’ve also had the mango rolls. People tend to like those. I like them, but I don’t really get it that often. I like to save my calories for the Mixed Fruit Tapioca!
This location is in the corner near the Marukai Asian market. Might be a bit hard to spot if you don’t know what you’re looking for. It’s a smaller location and they don’t serve the full menu. The service is usually pretty friendly. I’m glad they have one in the Southbay. We have Asians too and I’m sure non-​Asians would enjoy some of the treats in here!

Desserts all around!
Let’s get to it!
Limited indoor seating, couple of tables outside. Large selection of pudding, boba drinks and teas! Everything for the sweet palate. Looking for a delicate pudding, go no further! Reasonable prices too!

This is Phoenix Desserts branch.
Phoenix food chain has 3 branding: family style diner (round table), café (small tables with hip atmosphere), and desserts only (limited seatings with only desserts choice).
I came to satisfy my sweet tooth!
What to order?
# forbidden black sticky rice: warm soft. My comfort food.
#mochi platter: red bean, green bean, taro, mango.
# custard platter: mocha, green tea, taro and sesame.
#durian mochi: durian paste
The chain is so popular for desserts amongst Asian. It’s fresh and consistent within branches.
They never fail me.
Once I enter the door, I know what I want and never disappointed.
