rainbow t dessert

The milk tea was sweeter than I am used to but I felt it balanced out with the eggettes. This was my first time trying eggettes and they were delicious! Crisp and chewy on the inside without being overly sweet. I’ll be back to try the ice cream!

i was so happy when I saw Rainbow t Dessert opened in my neighborhood. Finally, the days of craving for egg puff can be easily resolve in steps!
The shop itself is super small and with weird layout, however, that doesn’t change my passion of coming here to get my favorite Hong Kong dessert. I only have got original flavor for Egg Puff and it is delicious! Crispy on the outside and soft in the inside. Love it. I also get the options of adding 2 scoops of ice creams on my egg puff :3 of course will pay extra for that but YES.
I also tried Mango Sage and it was tasty too. Not the best I have but it’s good. Overall I come here a lot and I will still come here and hopefully to get my stamps card fill up in no time. YAY FOR EGG PUFFS!

We got the pork eggpuffs, milk tea w/​lychee jelly, and i ordered coconut milk sago. (Im guessing sago is the little clear tapioca balls?)
Milk tea was average and the tea was pretty strong.
The eggpuffs themselves were great and had a nice texture – crunchy on the outside and chewy once bitten! The pork-​soong (savory dried shredded pork) could have been put in better; there wasn’t very much.
My coconut milk sago tasted pretty sour. so i went back and told them the coconut milk had gone bad, and traded it in for a same-​priced mango pudding instead. The mango pudding was delicious, and topped with mango pieces that were nice and naturally sweet.
Everything was brought to our table in a cute little tray :)
I hope this place gets more business! We were the only ones there on a Sunday after lunch at 2pm.

This place is legit!!! Omg… finally found a place that serves authentic egg puffs/​eggettes (鷄蛋仔). Crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside and not too much batter or an «eggshell» (hallow) ;) Was told that their waffle iron was specially ordered from Hong Kong too! Will def return when I’m in the area to try other delish looking snacks/​drinks!

Finally an Asian dessert place where I don’t have to travel to the sunset or Richmond district for.
I love their watermelon juice, super fresh and naturally sweet !!
Not that much of a fan of their waffle sundae or waffle sandwich for that matter. the waffle had a raw taste to it.
B-​kid grass jelly and the fresh fruit coconut sago are the
Great addition to the neighborhood !!

Delicious egg puffs and love the green tea and coconut ice cream! Cute spot to enjoy a day date with the hubby even though I am sick right now but stating in all day can drive a person crazy lol. The rice rolls we’re super yummy as well. The owner was super nice and friendly will definitely come back.

A homey and charming Hong Kong dessert spot! I ordered a scoop of the red bean ice cream and the mango-​go-​go! The ice cream was delicious. The only thing I would skip is the grapefruit in the sago dessert! Other than that, quick and delicious.

Rainbow dessert is a fun neighborhood hang out spot w/​yummy desserts at a great price.
Tried a few of their items and they’re all tasty. Loved the ice cream waffle sandwich and mango sticky rice.

I was pretty skeptical to try Rainbow T Dessert considering I came back from Hong Kong less than a week ago. Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised!
SERVICE: I wouldn’t say the service is exceptionally good but the whole operation feels very homey to me, which I love! I wasn’t pressured to order and was willing to offer up any recommendations.
FOOD: I ordered the Egg Waffles ($ 2.50), a Mango Shaved Ice with a scoop of vanilla ($ 4.50) and a HK Tea and Coffee ($ 4.00). The Egg Waffles were fresh but tasted a little too «batter-​y» for me. It’s not as good as in HK but it’s a solid runner-​up. The Mango Shaved Ice was a home run in my book. It was perfectly assembled (from bottom to top) — mango sorbet, half a mango (chopped), shaved ice, snow cap, and the vanilla ice cream. The HK Tea and Coffee wasn’t so good. so I’d pass on that next time around.
LOCATION: The shop is on the south side of Ocean Ave and right next to the K line. There is also a decent amount of parking in the nearby neighborhoods if you push your own wheels.
All in all, Rainbow T is a solid dessert place that’ll return to soon enough! Great people, quality desserts and conveniently located. OH. AND THEY ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS :)

It’s cheap and the quality is good. That’s all it really takes for me to say this is one of the best dessert places I’ve had in SF. I only wish it was open later.
–The HK Milk Tea was just to my liking, not too sweet with strong tea.
–The Mango Sago was nice and refreshing on a hot day, the mango was actually super ripe and has a ton of mango for what you are paying (and compared to other places). It made me want to order another or to try it with another fruit to see if the quality was just as good.
–Eggettes were also good, nice and crisp just how it should be.
–Polly Ann ice cream was free with a check-​in. Black Sesame flavor is the bomb, I have no complaints with Polly Ann ice cream.

I have to say, I may have a guilty pleasure for searching out boba/​Asian dessert spots. Yes, it gives me great satisfaction in finding the freshest taro, the smoothest sago, and of course the most firm yet chewy (boba) balls. Quicklys, Sharetea, T-​Pumps, and other larger chains can do the trick when in the neighborhood. But it’s also nice to find small, thriving mom-​and-​pop shops with a focus on customer service and great prices. Rainbow T is where its at.
The front area is colorful and assuming. There are 4 tables that can sit about 3 – 4 people at each table. The place isn’t big enough for your whole family, but it suits those really easy dates and meet-​ups for a #table4two. There is a free wifi sign on the wall with the password. On the other side of mini wall is the main counter. Their eye-​catching menus are on television monitors.
Service is an a premium here. Though I was not introduced to him in person, I’m assuming from the other reviews his name is Brandon. He was very warm and helpful at the register. Though I knew what to order, he walked me through the menu and even mentioned the happy hour special if I was interested in ice cream. (BOGOF on scoops during certain hours) That day, Brandon made all the orders himself, showing the quality of knowing his business from front to back.
The fresh watermelon juice with boba was very satisfying and refreshing. The fiancée was quite satisfied with this, as this is her favorite juice. And at $ 2.50, it is a definite bargain. The mango sago was fantastic, with large, fresh cut chunks of mango. It was not too sweet, and the serving size was large. The waffle sundae was a sight to behold. It came with 3 scoops of any ice cream, syrup, nuts, whipped cream, and of course waffles. The waffles were warm, crispy, and overflowed the container. The sundae was a great deal for two people at around $ 5. The taro sago was nothing too special, not solid nonetheless.
I will surely come back to visit Rainbow T. It has great desserts, and the potential to be something even more special.

I am so glad that I found out about this place. Thank you Unilocal.The location is towards the end of Ocean Ave. I kind of had a hard time finding it. Brandon, the owner, is super nice and welcoming. He gave my sister and I recommendations and samples of the ice cream.
I got the mango sago dessert and my sister got the waffle ice cream sandwich. The mango sago was delicious. It wasn’t too sweet and had a generous amount of mangoes and mango purée. The waffle ice cream sandwich was to die for. The waffle was nice and crispy and had an egg puff/​pancake taste. I could eat it by itself. That’s how good it was. I like that they waited for the waffle to cool completely before putting the ice cream.
The prices are very affordable and have awesome customer service. I don’t have to drive all the way to Dessert Republic anymore for asian desserts or Creations (which has awful customer service and takes forever for your food to arrive).
Thank you Brandon and I will be sure to let my friends, coworkers and family know about your establishment.

What a lovely little gem on Ocean Avenue! I was very excited when I found out there was a new Asian dessert spot in the neighborhood. I wish it were open later because I’d no longer need to go all the way to the Sunset or Richmond to fulfill my cravings!
I ordered the Mango Sago and Boba Milk Tea. The mango sago was a combination of large mango chunks, mango purée, coconut milk, and sago, only for $ 4. WHAT A DEAL. The mango was very ripe and fresh. The milk tea is HK style, only for $ 1.75. Good tea flavor, not too sweet, and affordable. Both items cost me under $ 6. Normally it’d cost me ~$ 8 at other dessert shops.
I also got to try the egg puffs which were decent, batter is on the thicker side and reminds me of waffle batter. I still prefer egg puffs from Eggettes, but it satisfied my cravings.
They also serve Polly Ann’s ice cream which is a HUGE plus! I’ll try that next time I visit.
They hand out stamp cards, where each stamp equals $ 3 spent. If you reach ten stamps you get $ 3 credit to spend on any item in the menu.
Service is so friendly — the cashier and server is very jolly and courteous!
Parking is limited so I highly recommend parking closer to Ocean & Capitol/​Faxon.
Delicious and affordable — I will definitely come back again to support them!

Finally a new dessert spot on Ocean Avenue! As the name suggests, Rainbow has a colorful selection of sweet treats to satisfy your Asian dessert cravings! They have everything ranging from sago and boba to eggpuffs and waffle ice cream sandwiches.
I’ve had the mango sago, egg puffs, milk tea boba, and ice cream cones here and everything is pretty good. Simple and nothing special… but good. They have about 10 different types of ice cream flavors, including mango, green tea, red bean, coconut, and coffee oreo, that you can get in a cone or add on to other desserts. They’re doing a buy one get one free ice cream promotion right now too, so take advantage of that before it’s gone!
Overall, Rainbow is more of a 3.5 star rating for me. You can only do so much with things like fruit sagos and ice cream waffle sandwiches,…but I rounded up because the service is really friendly. A factor that is unfortunately rare at other HK dessert spots in the city, including Golden Island and Creations. The quality of the snacks are also better than dessert houses with similar menus like Kowloon Tong. You can easily get desserts here to-​go, which is nice since they only have a few tables and bar stools inside anyway. Just keep in mind that this place closes at 8pm, so this is not your late night dessert destination spot. They definitely cater to the after-​school crowd.

The most electrifying man in dessert entertainment is now at Rainbow Dessert.
FINALLY! The WONG, HAS COME BACK, TO SAN FRANCISCO!
If you guys have been to Kowloon (my fave dessert place in SF) several years ago, then you would have definitely met Brandon Wong. This guy is the Undisputed Champion in dessert, hands down (sorry Chris Jericho). But Brandon took a break from serving delicious Egg Puffs to serve our country for several years (thanks!), but now he is back! If ya SMELLLLlalalalalalalal LA! What the WONG is cooking?!
But unlike The Rock, I actually smell what Brandon is cooking. Just like Kowloon, Rainbow also have those delicious Egg Puffs. The aroma of that batter being cooked into little crispy puffs is almost as heavenly as it tastes. If you haven’t had it before, just understand that the deliciousness might hit you out of nowhere like an RKO.
If you want something quick and easy, Rainbow Dessert has an array of ice cream flavors for you to choose from. This ain’t no hipster joint so you won’t get any Earl Grey or Secret Breakfast here. Stick with the classics like Shawn Michaels. Nothing ends an afternoon date better than an OG Vanilla Ice Cream on a Waffle Cone. When the ice cream drips on your chin a little, maybe your date will wipe it off for you. That’s Sweet Chin Music right there.
Just come to Rainbow Dessert and you’ll have fun. It’s a cozy little place by Ocean Avenue. Get a Watermelon Boba and talk about life with Brandon. Come with a group of friends and share an Ice Cream Waffle Sandwich. Brandon is a sweet guy and sugar runs through his veins. Just trust his recommendations and you’ll have good food and a good time. After all, he does have that dessert Pedigree #HHH

Finally an Asian dessert place on Ocean! They have egg puffs, boba, sago, rice crepes, ice cream, dessert ice cream sandwiches, and more for decent prices. Prices range from $ 3-​$ 5.
Today I tried:
–coconut milk sago (hot wasn’t that hot, so I advise to request extra hot!)
–egg puffs (soft with a tad of sweetness)
–savory rice crepes (yummy!)
Overall the food is good, super convenient for me on Ocean Ave, and the service is great! There’s a nice seating area with tables and chairs if you want to eat in, and they package food nicely if you want to take it to go. I would come back.
Stamp cards are offered. One stamp every $ 3. Spend $ 30 and you get a $ 3 store credit.

I had my reservations about this place, cuz Ocean Ave isn’t really known for well… much. But getting better! Anyway, I feel confident about this place now, because of the people behind the counter. I recognize them from Kowloon in the Richmond, back when I used to frequent the place. So now I know these ppl aren’t noobs, (cuz the kids scurrying about comment did have me anxious) and now I can eat with confidence. Cuz sometimes you want to support the mom+pop stands, but freak over some details, right?
The location isn’t the best, cuz it’s a tiny spot, but maybe they’ll be able to expand… once they get their fanbase. It’s a cute set-​up, maybe a little intimidating, but the staff are friendly.
Food-​wise, I already know they can make solid stuff. The imitation shark fin soup, if you’ve ever tried Eggettes, is not as thick here, but they pack more filling. I prefer the starchier Eggette’s version though… The egg puffs are best eaten right away, or they won’t be as tasty and crunchy.
This place offers more desserts that I normally have to drive for, so give em’ a chance and try something new :) I hope it’s a keeper.

— Great eggettes
— Right now the ice cream is buy one get one free!
— Very nice service and staff!
— Good prices :)
— There’s a decent amount of chairs and tables even though the place is small.
— No wifi yet but that’s okay
I will be back!

Saw their buy one get one free ice cream sign on the door and wanted to give it a try!
The place has a bit of a weird layout but the décor is super cute and their staff is extremely friendly and welcoming!
I went in to get ice cream but saw that they had other Hong Kong style desserts on the menu so I got the mixed fruit sago instead. The fruit was all really sweet and perfect for the sago!
My bf got the cookies and cream ice cream and thought it was very good as well.
Overall, I’ll definitely be back to support this new business and continue to try the rest of the items on their menu!

(3.5 stars, but rounded up since they’re new)
The Ocean Ave Corridor is trying to amp things up with new businesses!
Stopped by on Saturday night since it was their grand opening, but found that they were completely closed — not even people cleaning up or leaving — at 8:10PM. They close at 8PM, so I suppose it was a slow grand opening.
Came by in the afternoon the next day and found children running around. It’s a small place, and it feels a little claustrophobic, with a narrow corridor leading to the register.
Offerings:
Ice cream, smoothies/​drinks (they have boba), and HK desserts such as egg puffs, tortoise jelly, grass jelly, waffles, and puddings.
We got a tortoise jelly, B-​kid grass jelly, and egg puff to go. The prices are fair and everything was tasty but…
There was too long of a wait for such a simple order (And no other customers) and children continued to run in and out of the kitchen area. Don’t get me wrong, children are great-I’m just not a fan of cramped spaces and tiny running children. The workers were friendly and definitely all about the family-​vibe.
I will be back to try it out again once they’ve gotten into the groove of things. Give them a try!
