Lately we have been going here more frequently... when we dont have to depend on the bleh L line, it's easy! it can get crowded at night, but that's ok. the mango gigi sundae is good, although they forgot mine till the others were almost done. i think my favorite so far is the green tea red bean mango sundae that was mmm! and j had a 16 delights which has a bunch of fruit and ice and random other stuff that i tried and was tasty too! my friends and i will definitely be back more often to get this cheap, good dessert!

There is a place on the way to my house called 100% Healthy Dessert. I noticed this the very first… Read more »
Been here three times, and it was alright. I like the funky black barley pearl balls. The Hello Kitty shaped jelly was really cute. This is a good chill place late at night. The waitress is nice.
I got coconut milk with the pearls and mixed fruit, and another time with honeydew. I'd probably come here again, after Golden Island Cafe on Noriega =)
I feel like I'm in HK again. They offer a variety of yummy desserts. Turtle jelly anyone? I like their egg or milk custard served hot. They have a variety of other Chinese desserts with fruit mixes, drinks, mango pudding, shaved ice, and sweet soup. This place can get crowded and stuffy on weekends. An extra irritation is caused by the set-up of this place with lots of tables and chairs crammed in a small space. It doesn't help that the service is slow with one person covering a bunch of tables. But overall, this is a good place to hang out on a quiet week night when you get a sweet tooth.
3.5 stars? i can't decide.
the desserts are delish, but it doesn't quite do it for me. i'm used to very sweet american desserts, and i feel the flavors here are a little too subtle.
my creme brulee was okay. it was very rich and creamy, but the layer of caramelized sugar wasn't quite thick enough. it also had a veeeeeeeeery light coconut flavor, which i probably would have appreciated more if it had been sweeter.
the longan gigi was forgettable and disappointing. it's just shaved ice with canned longan and its syrup along with some other jellies. eh.
their stewed sea coconut with roses was pretty yummy. it was fragrant and the sea coconut had a nice crunch to it. me likey.
their tofu flakes curdled in a wooden bucket wasn't bad either. i believe it comes in two sizes. the syrup on the side was a little to diluted for my taste, but it's a definite must for the silky tofu.
the stewed milk pudding was actually steamed egg whites? it was definitely very egg white-y. it tasted okay i guess? not really my thing.
everyone's favorite was the baked pudding. it tastes like egg puffs! try to imagine slightly undercooked (but still yummy) egg puffs baked with little tapioca pearls and taro. it also takes about 25 minutes, so be prepared to wait.
it's not really aaaaaaamazing, but it's much better than a lot of the other asian dessert places i've been to. their curried squid was pretty tasty, and they have a few other savory dishes as well. seems to have a lot of variety and the prices are reasonable (cash only!).
This place is packed. The service isn't as bad as the other reviewers might lead you to believe. Well, maybe if you're unaccustomed to service at Asian restaurants that don't serve sweet & sour... then you might be offended. I found the HK girl sweet.
We ordered a lot of different items. Fruit salad was beautiful, the 13 fruit combination was nice too. Then ordered a fruit + condensed milk medly and a mango gigi or sumshit. Anyway the point here is that the fruit was sometimes sour, and the desserts sometimes bland, but you got what you ordered and nothing more. You didn't order sugar water, hence your kiwi's were so sour your nose crinkled up and died. You didn't order condensed milk so your dessert wasn't creamy.
I love the honesty of this place! Unadulterated desserts. The way you asked for it. Quit your bitching.

This place is healthy alright... They offer different kinds of tapioca to go with your shaved ice and fruit. They have a huge variety of yummy dessert to order, but my ultimate favorite is anything with mango or mango gigi. It is very refreshing and sweet. I also ordered this combo of shaved ice with fresh fruits such as kiwi, mango, jack fruit etc., and 2 kinds of ice cream on top (green tea and mango). This is exceptionally good if you want ice cream with your dessert. I've tried so many and have never been disappointed. On a hot day this is the place to go... They also have other things to eat with your dessert (but they are not healthy) haha They have stuff like peanut butter and jelly sandwich, fries, etc. I also tried the one in millbrae and I think I like that one better with more options than the one on Taraval in SF. It is alot bigger and nicer...Try it once and see what you think...
Average Place, would prefer quicklys.
i love 3 blocks away from there, so i go there at least once in two weeks, their desserts are good, and creative compare to other place, however, i really hate their chair and space...its so small and every table are so close to each other. Their price is ok, i guess...but i hate that they dont take atm, aiii...
many people complain about their service, but i think its alrite for a asian restaurent~ in order for those hk girl to serve you,, you really make them notice...and propaply wanna speak up..!! yeah but i also hate the fact that only 1 waitress...
their fruit cold noddle is really actually..it sounds gross ,,but hey it tastes so good~
If you wanna grab dessert and you want to try something different, this is the place to go. They have snacks and desserts that you pretty much won't find anywhere else. Well, I haven't at least. They pretty much incorporate shaved ice and ice cream with fruits and then add some goodies to it that are supposedly supposed to be good for you. If you've never been, it's worth a try.

All I saw was the word "dessert." I didn't see "100% healthy" in front of it, otherwise I would have opted for something diabetes inducing and/ or loaded with fatty goodness like apple pie or cheesecake from the Tennessee Grill across the street.
Just when I get enough courage to say "Stewed Sea Cocunut with Fungus and Papaya!" with confidence, the girl behind the counter decides it's more important to txt something furiously into her cellphone than help a hungry customer. Minutes pass and I begin to feel purposely neglected so I look for someone else to help me... but there's no one!
Some random high schooler comes up to the counter and starts speaking in Chinese. Oh, that got the girl's attention. She suddenly turns peppy and attentive... while I'm left wondering if I have to know the language (or not have an intimidating Jew fro - what, I forgot my beanie at home) to get any decent service.
I was feeling neglected, ignored, ashamed and flat out hated against so I left. I don't know how this place gets higher than 3 stars. Must be the food. I'll never know because I'm not going back.
Let me tell you something 100% Healthy Dessert people: you lost your potentially bestest customer.... evarrrrr. I practically live off desserts. I hope you're happy with yourselves. At least one good thing came out this experience: I had my cheesecake (and apple pie) and ate it, too.

EWWWW! This place is DISGUSTING! I'm sorry but who wants to eat "Mango fungus with eel" for dessert? And half the stuff on the menu is deepfried? How is that 100% Healthy may I ask.
Cute and delicious!
Though a bit cramped, it feels homey!
I'm not sure if it's that healthy. There is still plenty of sugar, even with all of the natural fruits. And there is plenty of agar, given the quasi-solidness of the stuff we munched on last night.
We tried the 13 delights or some hokey named dessert...coral weed, tadpoles, barley pearls, fruits, shaved ice, grass jelly, etc. It was good, but I prefer two or three flavors at a time only...we did ordered it, because it was our first time and we could not decide.
The other thing we tried were the peanut balls in ginger-tea...yum. I'm not a huge fan of the stuff, but when I can find it at a place, I try it for nostalgic reasons...my parents used to make the stuff from scratch when I was a kid. :-)

100% Healthy Dessert is like typical fruit/shaved ice dessert places in HK. I wouldn't call it healthy, but the name works to attract/intrigue folks who want to see if it really is. The place is pretty clean and it's pretty well lighted because it has huge windows. There's also a lot of room to sit and chat with buds.
Side Story: My nickname is GiGi. They serve several "GiGi" desserts here (ie Mango GiGi, and Mango GiGi Sundae). I've heard that it means something not-so-pristine in Chinese and my friend confirmed. It's a term used by little kids to refer to a place that sees no sun. I'm a good sport. I'll live :]
Anyway, the Mango GiGi was good for the first couple of bites then got too sweet. The strawberry sundae however is really really good. It's got sweet beans and lychee-type ingredients that you mix in by stirring. (Kind of like the Filipino Halo-Halo if you're familiar) The watermelon juice is also a good pick too.
Who can say no to inexpensive dessert? Not me. Try this place out if you have a sweet tooth.

The desserts here are okay, but the service is terrible. I have been here at lest 10 times and each time I come the servers are always super nice (they get their tea & eats fast) to the "hk" crowd. I feel like I'm being discriminated against for not being like them. Last night they forgot one dessert order and tried to give it to us as we were leaving so we would pay for it. WTF.
The desserts here are decent. If you do not speak chinese, you do not get service. You try to talk to the waitresses and they look at you as if YOU were stupid. I was so irritated with them, when they tried to make us pay for the forgoten item that I ordered I couldn't believe it!! I let the waitresses know and they took it off the tab, but as we were leaving they tried to serve us the dish, and I refused on the way out with a cold look on my face. This is a place to go if you do not care about service or getting your order.
It gets sooooooooo crowded at night and on weekends. The service is TERRIBLE (only one server. one time it took her 40 mins to bring me the check. the place is tiny, but she totally ignored us. another time, we couldn't wait for the bill anymore, so we left the money on the table and took off.) But the desserts are good, which is why i always come back. Mango gigi is my fave.

This place is a joke. I wonder where did that 100% healthiness came from because nothing is really healthy inside. Aside from the dessert name they have in the storefront, they also serve instant noodles, and fried appetizers. I must give this place some credit to come up with the creativity:
Most creative menu item: Cold coconut noodles. Don't ask what is it, I've never tried it. It sounds really gross alright.
Most creative translation: Steamed almond and fungus with pear. That's probably why people think Asian eat wierd shit.
Service: SUCKS. The staff (and likely owners) are a bunch of gossipy , mid-age married women who has nothing else better to do (C Lai). Slow, and greedy. They didn't even give us back the changes and take them as the tip for granted.
Vibe: Horrible decor. Looks like a Barbieland (Not the cuteness but the cheesiness).
YUCK!!!

Very interesting dessert, not something you can find too often, but I really liked it, and got super fast service :) And I loved the fact they were ready with nice hot tea the moment I stepped inside! I actually only came here because I went to Marco Polo and a person from my group needed something lactose free, but it worked out perfectly and I have every intention of returning :) I tried the Green tea tapioca dessert thing. Pretty light and not too sweet. I also tried a bit of the mango tadpole thing (really yummy) and the 13 combination thing which was also pretty good.
100% healthy my (_|_)!! Fried chicken wings, instant ramen, and fries are NOT healthy.
Anyway. The tables are freaking weird. They glitter in the terrible fluorescent lighting like a bad acid trip..not that I would know what that's like or anything like that *ahem*
The desserts are okay I guess, I personally think Golden Island on Noriega is better. =X

*You either get it or you don't*
This place is called 100% Healthy Desserts. They are not however serving healthy dessert. There are items on the menu, or in the desserts that are known to be, "Good for your Health" also there are a number of teas and things on the menu that are very healthy for your indigestion or various ailments you may have.
Enough with this.
This place is great. Its not about service, or crowded places. Its about having a good time, eating something you would have never eaten anywhere else, and not spending a fortune on it.
Went with 5 friends, ordered 4 desserts, took photos, and laughed and enjoyed all of them. Tab & Tip - $20.00
Can't beat it for fun, originality, and if you hail from Hong Kong or Southeast Asia, you might even get a taste of home.
LOVED IT.
I have to admit I walk into Asian restaurants with a different standard than I would if I walked into a French restaurant. I would like to hope it is a tolerance for cultural differences rather than an unfair bias.
Anyway, I would go back here for Dessert. I had the black sesame ball soup and it had good consistency and good flavor. Could use a little more ginger.
They have items on the menu that claims to increase brain power and other good stuff. I personally don't buy it. But I suppose that's where they have grounds for naming themselves "Healthy Desserts." 100%? That's tough to argue for.
This place is ok. The desserts aren't that great. The only thing that actually tastes pretty good is their cold coconut noodles which are pretty unique as well because I haven't seen them anywhere else.
I went to the one in Millbrae the other night. This was similiar to that one except that the other one had a wider selection of desserts and snacks on the menu. Its not that bad. The overall place is somewhat small and squishy-ish. I ordered the #C22 Sesame dumplings with Ginger Tea and Toasties (just toast with filling, sealed shut with one of those sandwich maker things) in Ham and Nutella (chocolate).
The Sesame dumplings were very good but once you eat one the Ginger Tea that it came with wasn't very sweet anymore .. kinda lost its flavor except for the Ginger body part of it. The Toasties were quite good on the Nutella side .. but because they don't split it carefully .. my Ham side has a bit of Nutella..GROSS!! That's why they get 4 stars =0 .. if I didn't have Nutella on the other side I'd be cool and give 5 stars -makes a face-

Nice little spot to go to for some dessert, 100% healthy? eh im not too sure about that, maybe about 60-70%...
A lot of interestings items to choose from, the toasties are quite yum even though I need to eat like maybe 15 of them to get full, and the dohfu hwa comes in a neat bucket~ and of course they have the usual array of chicken wings and ramen~
the seats could be a bit more comfortable, best case is to get a seat by the window so you can lean on it, jus hope the seat doesnt slide~
I don't believe the "100% Healthy" gimmick, but I will come here for a late night snack. Who needs to be healthy when it comes to desserts? The food is mediocre at best, but it's somewhere to go. They have sweet, savory, hot, and cold - lots of different options! One day we will get here early enough to try the Dun Dan (egg custard) because apparently this place will run out...
They close at 2, but let us stay till about 2:15. Didn't really kick us out, but started cleaning around us and sighing. There were others who stayed longer.
Mango Gigi w/ Tadpoles (these semi-crispy gelatin-type things, supposedly good sources of calcium). Sources have informed me that if I announce to the Yelp world that the "tadpoles" remind me of sperm, my fan base would increase.
Well? (To up to 3 stars if fan base increases. To decrease to 1 star if fan base goes down, but at that point, I just need to rethink my sources.)

There are unexpected welcoming and positive vibes at this "Healthy Dessert" place over in the Sunset district. Not only are the servers cuter than buttons, every single dish that passed us looked like a birthday present gift wrapped in pretty little shiny bubbles.
On a Thursday night after a farewell happy hour across town, I was relieved to find out they were open till midnight and had more than just desserts as I had yet to eat dinner. There were 3 pairs of guests watching the television from their tables and plenty more open for us to pick as we pleased.
We sat and were immediately given mugs of hot tea and menus. We had more than enough time to look at our menu. My friend ordered the Tadpole de Mango Gigi. I ordered the Ramen with Fried Dumplings.
The Mango dessert looked very yummy and was brought to the table in a decent amount of time. I tasted a spoonful of the swimmers and was surprisingly shocked with crunchiness in the clear teardrops. What were those things? My friend loved it so much; she started talking about what she would order on our next visit.
The Ramen took a good 15+ minutes. I decided it was the fresh style rather than instant, which made it taste so much better. The soup base was a bit like a cloudy gray sky and not pleasant to look at, yet the dish as a whole was delicious and fulfilling. If I could change it, I would like the soup base to be the shoyu/soy sauce flavor and color.
I really wanted to try something sweet so I got the Chocolate Mousse for dessert. It almost had a perfect amount of sweetness. Take note that I've got a crazy sweet tooth; it was a 3 on the sweet scale of 1-10. The aftertaste was a bit strange, I think the chocolate powder they sprinkled on top or something in the mix got stuck in my throat and stayed there. I couldn't finish it because of the sticky throat factor, but I thought it was a pretty good dessert. It's not too sweet; it's quite light and even purplish in color.
The bill came out to $10.50 CASH ONLY.
Yes, I repeat $10.50.
By the time we left, the place was packed except for a couple tables.
Will we be going back?
Absolutely!
They could improve on:
- refilling of hot tea
- English language
- Wall decor
- Menu redesign
Note: I considered many options for this milestone on Yelp and specifically searched for a place where I could make my one hundred reviews memorable for myself. Thanks Ki, for sharing this with me.

I think the name of this place is what attracts people. Such a funny name! Inside, the names of the desserts are even funnier! Steamed almond with fungus... LOL However jokes aside, this place is not too bad. It's somewhere to go when you've nothing to do on a weeknight and not planning to drink the night away.
The one in Millbrae is bigger . This 100% is okay .. they have a nice selection of desserts . The tofu flakes was pretty good . It came in a nice big wooden bucket which I found kind of cute . But let the wooden bucket fool ya .. there is a metal bucket thing inside the of it which the tofu flakes is in . The metal bucket thing is half the size of the bucket !! It came with some honey or whatever which you add to your tofu flakes .. which was good so you can control how sweet it is . The mixed fruits with shaved ice is pretty good too . Didn't expect it to be but it was and really hit the spot . But I didn't like the Mango Gigi Sundae . The white and red stuff on top of it tasted funky and there was too much of it . This location happens to be pretty small as well .. but the customer service is still pretty good considering how busy it is . I also like how they let me use the bathroom even though I wasn't a customer . Better than Kowloon Tong and Creations but I think I like My Favorite Cafe more ..

Great late night hang out spot. I wouldn't believe the 100% healthy dessert as advertised, but I can say that this place is unique in that it has a variety of desserts. However, the portion sizes are small and it's also quite expensive. You can rack up quite a bill for one person on just snacks alone. The place itself is generally small and parking are usually available across the street.
I'm from Sacramento but whenever I head to San Francisco, I drop by this place for their silky tofu. It's the best I've ever had!
On our way to Sushi Zen, Lorna D. and I pass by the very busy 100% Healthy Dessert on Taraval and were definitely curious. We plan on making a stop here after dinner to see what the fuss is all about.
Strolling in after ten in the evening on a Friday night, it's definitely exciting to find a place even open late in the Sunset district. With a few tables open, it's mad crowded with seats and tables pushed very close together and a very loud customer base. The waitress tells us to take a seat by the window, and as we get settled in, she decides to seat us in the back. We're okay with the move since there's a bit more elbow room in our new seats.
The menu is definitely intimidating and thank goodness for pictures. The waitresses come with hot tea and assume you know what you want 'cuz they are quick to come for your order. It's taking us awhile since Lorna D. isn't familiar with half the stuff on the menu and my knowledge is minimal if any.
Lorna D. has a few questions to ask before she places her order and the waitress does her best to explain. But I guess in this case, her best wasn't good enough. She ended up with the Stewed Honey Sea Coconut with Pear ($4.25) and I ordered the Tadpole de Mango Gigi ($4.50).
My order comes pretty quickly and I find it easier to grab an extra spoon for Lorna D. myself since I'm so close to the utensils. I would describe the toppings on my order as having a chunky gelatinized texture with some sour bits in it. There were about three pieces of mango chunks in the actual dessert. It was okay, but I don't think I would order it again with those tadpole things on it.
Lorna D.'s order was taking forever, and for a moment, we think they forgot about it. The waitress assures us that it's on its way and when it comes, it's not what we both expect. It's a hot dish, but the first thing you see after removing the cover is the white fungus stuff. I'm familiar with the white fungus used in other dishes, but Lorna D. didn't know what to expect. There was no coconut or pear taste in her dessert at all, and unfortunately, that's what she was hoping for. The pears seemed to come from canned pears, but the taste was gone after being stewed. The coconut was brown and didn't taste like coconut either. She said it tasted more like aloe than anything else. She ended up not really eating much of it.
When we told the waitress that it wasn't what we had in mind, the waitress said sorry. Of course, I was hoping she might work with us and give us a discount on it or offer something else, but I had a feeling we would be pushing our luck. We did try to order the Tofu Mousse with Mango ($3.50), but they were sold out.
Overall, 100% Healthy Dessert is typical of Hong Kong cafes and attracts a particular kind of audience. It can be very daunting for those who aren't familiar with the menu or the ambiance. I'm sure everyone can find at least one thing they'll like on this menu, it just depends on how adventurous you'll be. They also have straightforward stuff like Toast, Toasties, Waffles, Pork Cutlet, and Ramen noodles. I don't know if the store name really reflects their product!

Every single time I come here I can't help but order two desserts, cause I have no self control. Well, they're 100% healthy anyway, right?
I love the wooden bucket of tofu-fah with ginger syurp and any of the fresh fruit options with sea coconut and sago. The colorful mini-tadpoles are great too, especially since the poster on the wall claims that eating mini-tadpoles encourages brain development. Can't go wrong with getting smarter just by eating dessert.
Come on a weekend night and you'll be fighting for a seat with the asian teenybopper crowd, all a decade younger than yourself. Definitely an interesting place for people watching and pretending for a moment that you're not stuck in the Sunset on a freezing summer night, but instead somewhere on the streets of HK.

100% strange, for those (like me) who have never eaten half of the stuff on this menu. If only this place were a little cheaper I'd have more fun trying various things on the menu.
I had the colorful world, which looked like a firework display gone awry but was quite tasty. There was some sort of root that tasted like cartilage when you crunched it. Also there were multi color balls that were explosive but didn't have much flavor. All this was floating in a sea of coconut milk and what looked like sago. Hmm, I don't know if this creamy milk is 100% healthy (seems like a misnomer to me!) but it tastes good. I'd say they should rename it as %70 tasty, although that probably wouldn't go over as well with the future customers.
Bottom line: For sheer fun I'd go back to try the other interesting things on the menu, but like harry potters every flavor beans, I'm sure some of the stuff I'm not going to like as much as others. Such is the risk I'd be willing to take.

I ordered the tuna salad toastie with cheese. It was $3.50, but cheese is an extra $0.80. Came to $4.30 total. It was very small and comes with a slice of strawberry that is drizzled with chocolate syrup.
I wanted to order the corned beef toastie, but the lady told me it is not available.
I also ordered a bowl of almond sweet soup. There was not enough almond flavor in it. Costs $3.50.
The lady took a long time to come get our bill, so my gf ended up taking it to the counter and an employee passed her twice before taking care of it.
The food was alright, but I rather go to Taco Bell across the street next time. The sandwich was too small, the almond soup did not taste much like almond, and took a long time to take care of our bill even though the place was empty.
This place is so random...but in a good way. It reminds me of a dessert place you'd find in Taiwan or China. I even saw pajama people! It's open till 2 AM on some nights....cash only...Chinese TV included...
It's certainly not 100% Healthy but that adds to the appealing randomness of the place. When did creme brulee qualify as healthy? And the snacks are anything but healthy. Most of them are fried: bacon sausage rolls, pork cutlets, deep fried chicken wings, spring rolls.
I wanted to try the creme brulee actually, but they told me that it would take 30 minutes! 30 minutes! Who wants to wait around that long at a dessert cafe?
I tried two things: milk tea with pearls and tofu flakes curdled in wooden bucket. Both were decent but disappointing.
I asked what tofu flakes were and didn't get a clear answer. They're broken up pieces of soft tofu. The tofu flakes in a bucket didn't have much tofu. It was mostly hot water and not worth $3.25 (just for hot water and a tiny bit of broken up tofu). It came with simple syrup (very simple) that you add to the tofu soup. Just okay. Very plain.
The pearl tea was okay as well. The outside of the pearls were a bit too mushy (soaked too long?) but the inside was chewy and firm. The pearls were very sweet. The tea was fine but it sure came with a lot of ice. I wouldn't rush back here but I would continue to drive and walk by to see the pajama people. I might come back in my pajamas.

Not sure how healthy the desserts are, but there's definitely a wide and very interesting selection. Most items are less than $5. Flat screen on Channel 26 playing the evening Chinese drama, not much to write about charm or atmosphere, nice waitress, cash only. My friend ordered one of the mango desserts-- turned out the mango pudding was a supermarket peel-the-plastic-lid-off-the-plastic-container product... but chunks of mango (frozen or fresh, I don't know) and a tiny demitasse of condensed milk were included. $3. My order of stewed pears in almond something-or-other with white fungus (I think) was $4 and met my expectations.

Was driving by the Sunet and noticed this place and decided to give it a try. Let see, where to start:
Firsts off, service is SLOW even when it's not busy.
Second, desert is IMO below average.
Third, oh god, had the chicken wings and some other stuff...... lets just put it this way....it tasted like crap.
Only reason why this place is croweded is because you have all these poorly paid college students looking for a cheap eat and hang out late at night. I honestly don' t know how some of you give this place 4 to 5 stars....the food is ..... :X

Walked in at 11pm and soon found myself floating on cloud-nine in Chinese dessert heaven. They've got everything from hot black sesame soup to waffles to creme brulee to literally dozens of other options. Of the city spots I've tried, this place has by far the best variety of Chinese desserts. Despite the cheap prices, quality is very good as well.
With my insatiable sweet tooth and the accommodating late night hours...my personal goal is try all the items on the menu (without becoming a diabetic)!

It's places like 100% Healthy Dessert that remind me just how subjective review criteria are.
For example, I'm inclined to award them points for novelty/utter rididiculousness, whereas those more acclimated to Asian cultures wouldn't bat an eye at--much less grant coveted Yelp stars for--restaurant names like "100% Healthy Dessert" or menu offerings such as "Tofu Flakes Curdledin Wooden Bucket" and "Stewed Almond & Fungus w/ Papaya".
The food isn't incredible, but it isn't bad, either. The service, however, is slow. My friends and I waited 20 minutes for the simplest of entrees (smoothies, waffles, etc.) Don't visit if you're in a hurry.
Three stars for three reasons:
1) They're open late. This is almost unheard of for Sunset businesses.
2) They make me laugh. See above.
3) Their ice cream is really, really tasty, especially if you're stoned at mindnight. And, chances are, you won't find yourself eating at 100% Healthy Dessert unless you are stoned at midnight.
FYI: Both unhealthy and savory, non-dessert foodstuffs can be found here in abundance.

although food is usually pretty good. service is usually horrible. inexperience and uncaring staff and kids working there. if they run out of something, won't tell you until food doesn't come and you ask for it. beware if you order the steamed eggs, take 20 mins to make. so 8 of us ordered dessert, everything came except for the steamed eggs. but that took 20 mins. so we all wait. and after half hour, they tell us they ran out of steamed eggs. don't know how that can happen unless they run out of eggs since it's suppose to be made fresh with every order and how can you wait 1/2 hour to know if something out. obviously, the chef didn't want to make it cause it takes work or the staff just didn't order it. whatever the reason, don't expect to have good experience. unless you like being treated badly and not get what you want.
