Went here on a Friday night and it was crowded but we were able to get a spot in the booth! There are 4/5 booths and two high chairs for seating. They have a ton of desserts options. My friends and I ordered the matcha mochi egg puff & mochi rice ball with sesame paste. You should eat the mochi rice ball with sesame paste right away because it will still be warm. Both desserts were good and service was good as well! I would come back here! There's only street parking here too.

UC Dessert is one of my favorite "nostalgic dessert spots" from my Berkeley days. They have a variety of mango sago, sticky rice, and red bean desserts that were always a special treat I'd look forward to eating as a kid. The quality hasn't changed much in the 5+ years I've been going. It's not the "best" but it absolutely hits the spot. The desserts are especially yummy when the fruits are in season, so do expect some more tart/sour flavors if mangoes and strawberries and the like aren't in season. For less than $10, you can get a pretty filling bowl of things like QQ mochis, grass jellies, fruit, sago, etc. The variety also means that it's hard to get sick of the menu because there's almost always something new to try/a new combo to experiment with. If you're looking for a place in Chinatown that's still open later at night, UC Dessert is definitely the spot!

UC Dessert is a bit small and probably won't be able to seat large groups of people (unless you don't mind sitting at different tables) but it's perfect for small groups who are looking for a quick dessert. We came around 7/8PM on a weekday and it was not busy until a little bit after we came inside and had already gotten our order. They have a huge selection of dessert options, but my friends and I knew from the start we wanted bingsu. The portion was smaller to previous places we have tried, but it ended up being the perfect size for the three of us. We usually aren't able to finish our bingsu, but we were able to eat everything this time and it was delicious.

I was craving Hong Kong style dessert so we found this place after we saw all the meet fresh's near us were closed. UC Dessert has a lot of options--we were staring at the menu for at least five minutes while the server stood ready to take our order. We ordered M01, a mix of taro balls, taro chunks, red bean, grass jelly, and boba, served with a cute pitcher of coconut sauce. They definitely could have given us more taro balls, but I was satisfied with the spread. We also ordered the black sticky rice and black sesame paste combo, and I requested to add sago in it. This one was served hot, and it was super comforting as the evening started to get chilly. I thought it could have been a tad less sweet, but the flavors were so reminiscent of this dish when I had it in China. We absolutely devoured and left happy and full.

Cute and comforting asian dessert place in oakland chinatown! Came with two friends on a Wednesday evening. It was not very crowded and parking was easy to find. We were seated to eat at a booth and ordered from the menu. The employees were super nice and attentive. They have a big variety of desserts. I got the ginger milk custard/ pudding, which was warm, creamy, and not too sweet. I loved it and it was perfect for me especially since I was feeling sick and it was raining also. It was perfect against the cold and made me feel better. Would definitely come back again!

Really great spot for a large selection of classic asian desserts. I wish more of these one-off dessert bistros existed around the bay area. You could argue Meet Fresh fits the bill, but I think there's something special about the vibe of these one-off dessert shops that is hard to replicate in a giant franchise. We ordered four desserts:1. Egg puffs (bubble waffles) with mango ice cream and fruit2. Almond Tofu Pudding3. Mango Pomelo Sago4. Milk Ice with Green Tea and Strawberry Ice CreamDespite have a cheesecake factory sized menu, the quality on every dish was upheld, and the waiter was very attentive when we were ordering individual ice cream flavours. Speaking of the ice cream - it was fantastic; the mango ice cream they have was exceptional with a great flavour and texture.P.S. i love that there's curry fish balls on the menu and it just falls right in the middle of the menu between two types of desserts - if that isn't a sign of a high quality classic asian dessert shop, I don't know what is.

Came here right when they opened and their boba wasn't ready yet. Ordered a few drinks and got it with their white boba. Their drinks are made with syrup so artificial flavors. Coffees are more on the blend side and sweet so ask for less sugar if you're not a sugar person. Place was pretty empty maybe cause we got there 15 mins after their opening. Over all we didn't like the boba drinks especially the white boba since there wasn't a chew to it. Not sure if I'll be back again for it tho.

UC Dessert is a cute place with a lot of dessert options. I got the strawberry bingsoo and it was a good portion size. I think it could be shared with 2/3 people. The service was good and the place was nice.

This is dessert heaven for someone who loves desserts. We were in the neighborhood and this place caught our eye. An authentic Asian dessert place with boba and multiple other options.I want to go back and try other things too! But the menu seems complex, I have to research and get better on what is the closest of the ones I've tried with bean paste and sesame seeds. The service was great and super fast. The ambiance was kinda ok. You'd feel like you're in an ice cream place.Be careful with the parking. Watch out!

A massive variety of delicious desserts are available here at prices that won't break the bank. Plus they're open late ish. Would give 6 stars if I could. I often crave the mango coconut sticky rice dish. SO GOOD.
