Hien Khanh Dakao

Unique variety of drinks options available. They have an actual sit down shop with food options, then next door is more of a quick order to go with solely just drink options. I ordered the dragon fruit tea and white jelly. Couldn't really taste the dragon fruit, more of the green tea flavor, and the white jelly was a bit weird, it didn't really have a taste, was more like shredded coconut without that flavor. I wish they gave you an option to adjust the ice and sweet level, as mine could have used more ice and it was a bit too sweet for me.

I was visiting with my brother and sister-in-law and the Grand Century Mall Shopping plaza was open today on Xmas. We already had lunch, but I wanted some sort of dessert option afterwards. They recommended this place, so we decided to go.Space is a bit limited inside, but there is a lot outside. You can order either on the kiosk or with a worker.Durian Smoothie: It's a bit rare for me to find this back in the east Bay Area using fresh durian, so I was happy to give this drink a try. I know you either love or hate durian, and I love it. The color in the computer is a bit deceiving, since it appears more yellow, but the flavor was all there. It comes with foam, durian fruit and milk. Rather simple and straightforward. For those who like durian, this is a good smoothie drink. It was not too sweet (50%) and had the flavors of durian in every sip. I added pearls mainly for texture, and it was delicious.Overall, I can see myself coming back here again

The good:Today was their grand opening. They had flowers and lots of backdrops for photo opportunities. They also were doing a raffle. I tried a salty coconut water drink with kumquat and a soursop kumquat tea drink. Both were refreshing and had chunks of fruit inside. They have outside covered dining areas to enjoy your drink. Drinks were around $7 each. They sell smoothies, che (Vietnamese desserts), tea and coffee (coconut coffee, salted coffee). The bad:I wanted to order the ginger honey chrysanthemum kumquat tea but they didn't have it an available. It was hard to drink when my small straw kept sucking up soursop chunks. A boba straw would've been better so I could eat the chunks. Our order took quite awhile to get. There were no tables inside to sit at but they did have a bench inside. The interesting:This location was formerly the banh kep place (Nước Mía Vien Đông). The former Hien Khanh Dakao place was in the Grand Century Mall food court. I'm unsure if the former spot is still there. You order at the counter but pickup left of the counter toward the left of the space.

Little pricey, but the big cup of chè, and the decoration is very beautiful. I love to take a picture there.

They just open not too long ago from this location. This place always my place to go for dessert so I got the Che ba mau today and it's always good like always.

Delicious desserts with friendly staffs and beautiful location in Vietnam town. 5 stars
