"Hidden away in the food court of Rosemead’s Square Supermarket lies Hien Khanh, a Little Saigon import that makes the very best Vietnamese desserts in town. Those unfamiliar with the genre may be a bit wary upon seeing legumes, seaweed, and root vegetables swimming in a sea of coconut milk, but there’s no need to hesitate because everything tastes stupendous." - Cathy Chaplin

We always come here for che(vietnam desserts) whenever we come back to LA. Locally owned small business that deserves all the praise and business it can get. You can't go wrong with anything here but my favorite is the number 24 because I like coconut water over coconut milk. One time we didn't have any cash on us and they didn't accept cards back then. The owner gave us our drinks for free. We made sure to come back the next day to pay them back even though he told us not to. Great drinks run by great people who just want to serve the community. Highly recommend.

I recently discovered Che Hien Khanh on Eat LA and decided to visit today. This place offers the most comprehensive selection of Vietnamese sweet desserts in the entire San Gabriel Valley (SGV). For those unfamiliar, "chè" is a Vietnamese term for traditional sweet beverages, dessert soups, stews, or puddings. These desserts can be served hot or cold, often enjoyed with a spoon over ice in a glass. Chè typically has a gelatinous and gloppy texture, and each region of Vietnam offers its own unique varieties based on local tastes. Whenever we visit Vietnam, we indulge in chè, especially with ice to combat the hot weather--it's the perfect remedy. Che Hien Khanh, located inside the Great Wall Supermarket food court, is one of the most popular dessert shops. During our visit, we tried the coconut jelly chè, mung bean dessert, and some chè mochi. The flavors were very authentic and reminiscent of the desserts we enjoyed in Vietnam. The prices at Che Hien Khanh are reasonable, as we only paid $10 for two bags full of chè. Additionally, the staff were very friendly, making the experience even more pleasant. If you're in the area and craving authentic Vietnamese desserts, I highly recommend stopping by Che Hien Khanh.

This Che spot offers a diverse range of desserts. I tried a couple and was impressed by how good they were! What stood out to me was the perfect level of sweetness. These are the desserts I ordered: - Che Thai (fruit cocktail) - Che Ba Mau (three-color dessert) - Banh Flan (egg flan) - Banh Da Lon (steamed pandan cake) I’m relatively new to the Che scene and not speaking Vietnamese, I wish there were clear labels for each item. The staff was very helpful and answered all our questions. The location is inside the Square Plaza Food Court, with tables available on a first-come, first-served basis. Ample free parking is available in the plaza.

Friday 5/30/25 After dinner desert at Che Hien Khanh with my friend Erwin. We ordered the Thai desert. It really hits the spot with the awesome taste full of high quality ingredients. We loved it. David Young Restaurant Enthusiast

Can I get a Hail Mary! The desserts here are legit and truly authentic. I love that there’s a picture dictionary to help describe what everything is. Very reasonably priced and fresh. I’ve been coming here for several years now. Harlem kitchen is awesome too!

He must be the owner, tall, kind, gentleman, whom recommended the two drinks for my sons instead of their original ordered of Thai tea drinks because he noticed my two boys look under 16. "Caffeine is not good for your age, and I recommend you my two most popular drinks that young kids like, #22, 23." He even offered a complimentary drink since one of my sons was hesitant to try #23, the yogurt drink. My son did like it. Thank you! No one was has to do that but you went out of your way to tell them what's better for their age, and I great appreciate that. We will come back again. I like the pandan mung bean drink. And the Thai tea is very good too, for adults 😁🙏🏼🥰

So friendly and delicious. I didn't grow up eating a lot of che, so it was exciting to see all their offerings displayed in the window. Last time I saw this much che was when visiting Vietnam. I felt bad because I didn't know what anything was besides the black eye pea and the floating ball one and wasn't going to ask, but the guy behind the counter noticed and was so nice - he literally explained EVERY single one in detail without any judgment AT ALL! Even with the long line! Thanks guy with the good hair for not making me feel less Vietnamese *tear*. He recommended only ordering a one or two to try so it's not overwhelming, but we couldn't resist and ordered a lot, 5 che's and a bunch of their baked goods. I especially loved the cassava ball one, the floating ball, and the cassava cake - that was SO good. We came back another time and got their large custom drink mix to share, but I ate it all because it was so good. It's located in a food court next to the supermarket, look for the long line of aunties and uncles and you wont miss it. Order on the left then pay and wait on the right.

This dessert/drink shop is located inside the food court of GW Supermarket. I stopped by late afternoon on Memorial Day and there was a small line that took quite some time. The ladies working were efficient but the group in front of me just made a really large and complicated order. I got the 4 item customized dessert/drink ($5.50) and chose red bean, boba, mung bean paste, and purple rice. That combo with the coconut milk and ice was so good. They also have various, colorful desserts that I'll be back to try next time!

First time tried this Vietnamese dessert and I loved it. Located in the food court inside GW Supermarket. The lady was nice and very helpful. I got the Chè Thai and it was delicious. It has so many ingredients inside, I believe there are 12! There were jackfruit and durian inside too which is my favorite. lf you can't decide what to order, you can customize your own dessert drink. They have huge selections of Vietnamese desserts. I will definitely be going back to try more of their desserts.

NOT CASH ONLY ANYMORE! Their Che Chuoi is way better! Everything isn't Cooke together anymore which makes it less starchy. I forgot to ask for less or no cassava but I'm sure they are able to now. Yummy! THAI TEA - one of the best! Perfectly sweet, which means not too sweet with delicious stronger tea flavor. Very well balanced. LEMONADES. yum!! Perfect thirst quencher. The raspberry lemonade was perfect for me with basil seeds and the amount of sweetness. It was refreshing with real fresh berries. Their cucumber lemonade was even more refreshing and worked so well! I would say it's more delicious BUT it's also a bit sweeter! Too sweet for our preference. But we drank it all anyways because it's so good!! The owners son and regular patrons (that spoke English) were friendly, helpful and serviceable with good vibes. The worst thing about this place is a few of their older patrons. I know it's a cultural thing because this would happen in Westminster spots as well but older Vietnamese people cutting or invading your personal space I guess it's normal so be open minded !

Che hien khanh is located on the side of the market in the food court. It has a bunch of drinks and Vietnamese deserts. We ordered the Vietnamese coffee and a Vietnamese desert that we were able to customize with 5 toppings of our choice. Overall everything was good but I wish the coffee contained a little less ice.

Cash only Inside the plaza, so plenty of parking. Their dessert looks very yummy. Kind of hard to order since they don't have a label on it. The prices are by the front of the register. I got a coconut milk dessert cup with taro and other interesting ingredients. Definitely a must try place.

If you are ever in the area and craving Vietnamese dessert, this is the place to go! There is a huge variety of desserts or you can customize your own drink with different toppings. The service is a little slow, but it is a popular booth with only a few workers.

I love Vietnamese style desserts! They are light tasting, not too sweet, and majority of the stuff are gluten-free and vegan friendly. The sweet dessert drinks (Che) are yummy with contrasting textures: order a Che drink that's pre-crafted or create your own. The ladies that work here are friendly. CASH ONLY! Inside GW Super Market food court.

Thought I do an update since they have made a few new changes. I was here last weekend to pick up some che. I noticed they have a new business name banner. They are now called Che Hien Thanh... Sweet Taste of Vietnam. They are serving their drinks and desserts in new containers with their name on them. The drink cup sizes look the same as before. But I'm not sure about their dessert cup sizes. The new ones are shorter and wider... maybe they are the same in oz but just different in look... not sure. Anyhoo, their quality is still the same awesome quality as before which is a good thing. Staff are the same people. Service is still good. As for prices, that may vary on inflation times... still very reasonable. Ambiance hasn't changed except for the banner. All in all, it is still my che place to be! Come on out to support your neighborhood che and get your sweet taste of Vietnam. See you here!

Best place to come when you get a craving for Vietnamese desserts. We always get the Thai dessert drink and the 3 color Vietnamese dessert with customizable toppings. So delicious and refreshing! I haven't been here in a while and looks like they completely upgraded their menu with more drinks and more toppings. 4 star because employees working behind the counter can be a little more friendly but overall great place for cheap and authentic Vietnamese desserts.

The best Bánh Da Lợn I've ever had. Tasted fresh with 7 thin, consistently smooth, soft, chewy layers. Love that there was almost no sweetness so I could eat the entire serving in one sitting without getting sick. Topped with roasted sesame seeds to enhance flavor and texture. There was a line but it moved quickly. Located in a busy food court inside an Asian market.

After the special gift I received with my order, I would definitely come back here! Great selection of Vietnamese snacks, desserts and service even though I found a curly piece of steel in my sticky rice. I'm relieved that it was extremely visible and not something I swallowed. This spot was randomly discovered after we picked up some Vietnamese food in the area and wanted to make the trip to SGV worthwhile. We opened Yelp and typed in "Vietnamese desserts" and found this gem located in a tiny mall. The cashier was very friendly and there seemed to be a lot of customers so that was a good sign. Freshness and deliciousness of desserts was fantastic and much better than any deli I've been in the area. I have zero complaints outside of the fact that they need to do a better job inspecting their food. The health rating says A but I'm sure if a child ate what I ordered, they would be in big trouble! A++ for taste and service A for parking F for food safety

Background On Visit: Decided to get a vietnamese dessert after eating from Xi Guan Noodle House. Visitation Rights: Been here a couple of times through out the years. The last time I was here was last month. Credit Cards: They're not accepted. Cash is king, my friends! Restrooms: There is a public restroom to the right of the shop. Just look for the restroom sign. Location/Parking: Located in the Square plaza. The exact location is inside the GW Supermarket building next to the supermarket. Ambiance/Decor: No ambiance here. Just a no frills place....order and go away. You can also eat your dessert in the food court. The public furnishings (table and chairs) are made of some kind of metal. Service: Service was good and the staffers were friendly and nice. Didn't take long to do the transaction. Dessert Of Choice: 1) Glutinous Rice Balls With Ginger: One of my fave vietnamese desserts. Love the texture of the 2 rice balls and the taste of the mung bean paste and ginger syrup. It also came with coconut milk, but I decided not to add it in. 2) Pandan Drink: Who doesn't like pandan flavor stuff? Growing up, pandan and I were like "peas and carrots". The drink was very fresh and refreshing. Hien Khanh For Thought: Definitely a place that I'll get desserts from whenever I am in the food court.

Not sure if this one is the same as the one in OC but they have a great variety of Viet desserts. It's a stall so not very big but plenty of table to sit. The ladies in the back is attentive to each customer order and is patience. Love going here for Knick nacks for mom. The market attached is great too. Been here every time I'm in the area, always good.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Vietnamese dessert, and this store did not disappoint at all!! The desserts all tasted fresh, chewy, and delightful. Not to mention, the coconut dressing (the best part)-- I just wanted to pour a whole cup into each of the dishes because it was THAT good. Also the portion sizes for the price?! Amazing. There's usually other people there to order because this place is behind the GW Supermarket, so it's super easy to treat yourself after a grocery day!! What better way than fresh Vietnamese dessert? I'm hungry again after writing this review-- hold on, I'll be right back.

This is by far my favorite Vietnamese dessert store! Hands down the best corn and red bean dessert. They're located in the food court inside GW supermarket, they been there for years.. I used to always go here when the arcade was here. Once you are here you can get breakfast or lunch because they have a variety of different restaurants here which makes it very convenient for parents like me. There's plenty of tables for ppl to seat it does get a bit loud depending on the time you go, during busy hours it can be packed and long lines. They staffs are super friendly and accommodating they were able to make an exception and assist me with my big order the day before for my little one's birthday parties and it's was a hit, everyone loved it and wanting for more. It's a 10/10 for me, my forever go to place for Vietnamese dessert.

This place has been a Vietnamese staple for as long as I can remember. They have various Vietnamese desserts including flan! You first order, they will give you a number verbally and you will receive your dessert once they call your number. Then pay and enjoy. Everything comes with coconut milk and crushed ice at the top. I recommend just picking any of the display cups. They will make it fresh for you. The place is located inside the market square. It is near the market in the food court. Parking can get hectic especially on the weekends.

They are located inside gw supermarket. Parking was hard to find though. We picked up a che ba mau and a few little desserts. The che ba mau was different from what I'm used to seeing, but it was still delicious! My toddlers loved the sesame balls because it was sweet inside. They had so many desserts we didn't get to try, so we'll be back for sure!

This place was busy. Order the pennyworth drink, it did not taste good. But their coconut sauce was good. Mung beans dessert wasn't that great either. The staff was friendly except for one girl with a face mask and ponytail. She didn't look like she wanted to be there and ignore questions from customer. This place is located inside a food court, lots of foot traffic. Parking can be hard since there's lots of places to eat. Good luck.

Great place to order Vietnamese dessert. This place is always packed. Service is fast, efficient but can be a bit callous. More of a to go restaurant in a food court so ambiance is out the window. So many different desserts here and pretty much all of them are very very sweet, with lots of carbs from sticky rice. Coconut paste adds on some fat and sweet on top so know you can't have this everyday and keep that waistline. But it's awesome for a weekly treat/cheat.

Hole in the wall vietnamese dessert spot. Specifically sells che. Good price and delicious snack/dessert. A bit challenging if you don't speak viet. But you can point and combine multiple things into 1 cup. You may not know what they are but it'll taste pretty mild - most of these things are texture play anyway.

/)/) ( . .) ( づ it's hidden in the supermarket. Only taking cash! not too sweet coconut base. I picked a large and had 5 toppings to choose. Wouldn't recommend the mung bean paste inside. It kinda mess up with the coconut base and it's hard to eat because it's not dissolving. But the mung bean paste itself was good tho! Really liked the rainbow jelly, black jelly, green chewy jelly. They barely speak English so just pick the numbers that are written on the menu board for the toppings and you're good to go :) Would come here again, super refreshing and yummy.

My friend wanted us to try this place and it was pretty good! I haven't tried Vietnamese desserts in a long time, so it was really nice to try a variety of treats. The service was very good. We arrived close to closing but they were still patient with us, especially since we had some questions. Parking was okay, the place is located in a supermarket so it may be busy during lunch hours. I was able to find parking quickly but the food court was already near closed. Some desserts (like the corn) came with coconut milk sauce (?) on the side. They mentioned that their coconut items are very favored among customers. Special mentions: - Coconut jello: I really loved this one. It had a harder gelatin texture and was not too sweet. I may have bought 2 - Flan: The sweetness was just right. The texture was soft and the bottom sugar highlighted the flan. Make sure to mix the flan so the sugar edges up the cup. Overall really enjoyed this experience and would come again. I heard they're opening in West Covina so I will make sure to stop by.

Came in to try Che Thai for the first time. I see it on ig all the time. I like trying new desserts from different cultures. There was a line so that tells me their stuff is good. Service was good. Fast and helpful. It's located inside the super market. Anyway, I really enjoyed it and the price was fair. Definitely coming back if I'm in the area.

My favorite place to get Vietnamese dessert! I love how the Che is customizable, I like #3 pandan jelly, #6 grass jelly , #10 boba and a scoop of durian ($.85). Also, their pandan jello that comes in the styrofoam container. The texture is perfect anmput of chew. Everything is super fresh! Cash only! Parking lot sucks, inside GW Supermarket

Customer service here has always been mediocre, but acceptable. The only reason we frequent this place is because there aren't a lot of che dessert places around and the ones here are delicious. Today's experience was very different. We ordered 4 dessert drinks and 2 other dessert items. The Thai dessert cup looked nothing like pictured on their menu. Proportions of ingredients were very off. We just accepted that it was what it was. However, the worst part of today was the customer service. One of the dessert drinks had the topping choices written on the cup correctly, but one of the toppings was wrong. It wasn't a big deal to us and we understand it's a common mistake. We brought it to a worker's attention and instead of correcting the mistake by making a new one, she scoops out the wrong topping and puts in very little of the correct one. Unfortunately, the flavor of the wrong topping is still in the drink. No apologies from the worker for her mistake. Just attitude and a sloppy way of "correcting" her mistake. Any other decent place with good customer service would've just made a new drink for their customer and offer a genuine apology. Do better next time. Teach your workers what good customer service should be.

This place is located in a food court and there was a line when every other restaurant was empty. I can see why, the desserts are delicious and cheap. A small cup, which can easily fill you up, is like $3. They have a large assortment of different desserts and you just choose whatever you like. I don't think you'd be disappointed with any! I'd get this again.

Located in the food court of GW supermarket, this place is tucked away in the corner. Cash only location. The Che is deeeeeeee-lish!!!!!! I can truly eat a bucket full of it. The service is friendly and quick. It does get busy which makes sense because the dessert is so good and reasonably priced. I can't wait to come back here!

I don't come this way too often but was visiting a friend to see her newborn baby, and she suggested I stop by here for some "che" on my way home. Che is a traditional Vietnamese dessert that comes in varieties. This spot is located inside the Asian supermarket in the food court section. Thank goodness I was able to ask around! There was a line when I got there but it went by pretty quickly. They also have sweet rice, sesame balls, fried bananas, che, and other goodies. I chose the "che chuoi" which has bananas in coconut pudding and some tapioca consistency, and "sam Bo luong" drink (a refreshing drink that contains seaweed/kelp, longans, dried jujubes, and lotus seeds). Brought them home to have later and it was pretty good. I wish I lived closer to indulge more often, but it's nice to know a good dessert place in this area! This place is cash only, as most Asian places are so come prepared!

My favorite little Vietnamese dessert spot. So authentic I feel like I'm in vietnam with US prices. I really appreciated the explanation menu instructing customers what all the items are. My favorite is the Ming bean layer jello. I also love the mung bean with sweet coconut milk.

This place is CASH only. If you are here for Che, then you've come to the right place. They are located in the food court area right outside of GW Supermarket on San Gabriel Blvd. They have quite a bit of items to choose from and there are tables available if you decide to eat there. There's also a good Wonton stall right next door. I wouldn't come here on a hot day because the AC does not work in this shopping center. It was just blowing air when I was there.

Idk what happened but the che here has gotten dramatically worse since the last time I've been here. Came here 20 minutes ago to get the yellow mung bean che and I remember they used to scoop it fresh from the tray but now it's prepackaged in cups and placed for display. I opened up the cup and there was a thick, hard layer of Che on top like it was left out for hours to dry. Same with the che with beans, my mom said hers was really dry and hard. So disappointed might have to drive to OC for good che now ):

I recently had a less-than-pleasant encounter with the customer service at Che Hien Khanh on Jan-15-24 at 4pm.The staff seemed indifferent and unhelpful, making the entire experience frustrating. When I asked her for extra Mung bean and I am willing to pay extra for she straight up tell me " NO" . I asked if another topping is durian and again she replied: "No". I guess I can't add any toppings at this location. Hoping for better service in the future.

One of the best Vietnamese dessert stands in the SGV! My family and I have been going here for traditional sweets ever since I was a kid and the taste has always stayed the same: delicious, authentic, and filled with warm memories! Food: 5/5 + Chè ba màu Our go-to order is Hien Khanh's speciality drink: the Chè ba màu or "rainbow" drink. For first timers, who have never had Vietnamese desserts before, just know that it's way better than boba and gets its name from its 3 distinct three layers: red beans, yellow mung beans, and green pandan jelly strips. The combination is served with a perfect combination of shaved ice and coconut milk that makes it both refreshingly sweet and creamy. Once you purchase the drink, be sure to mix it up so you can taste all the flavor! Service: 3.5/5 Hien Khanh is a hole in the wall shop located within Square Supermarket. You can't really expect much with service here, so be ready for a less than ideal customer service. But nonetheless, everyone is kind and welcoming and staff makes sure to social distance. Also be sure to bring cash before you buy.

Great place and great prices but try to be friendly with them. I feel the need to watch my food now because I was here for two things & one of the order caused someone to throw up. They usually don't have a sensitive stomach either so I assume it may be like coconut cream related. I don't want to attribute all of it to the store though and it is rare in the 10+ years I have known of this spot. i have seen them "shortchange" food orders though such as scooping in less ingredients in the past though that's understandable during different economy times like menu price changing. Parking is just hard and the plaza has some bad drivers so protect your vehicle here.

Supper bad customer service and bad management . O ordered 2 che ba mau, they were made by the manager' s son. He did not know how to make che ba mau. He did not get the right amount of ingredients. The che ba mau he mad for me all mixed and looked for messy. I told the manager (her mom) at the time i laid, she argued but then made the new one WITH ALL Coconut WATER . WTF, that is how they take the complaint. That is really waste of my money

We've cooked and eaten so much Vietnamese food before but surprisingly have never really tried the desserts. Since it was our first time there, I was a pretty overwhelmed by the choices but didn't want to hold up the line since it was a bustling place. I've had all the different ingredients separately and in other desserts but I just haven't had them all together, if you know what I mean. If you're Asian, you're probably familiar with all of them - red bean, green bean, grass jelly, different fruit jellies cut up into small cubes, various fruits, boba, etc. The man who talked to my husband was super nice - he took the time to explain what was in the drinks and helped guide us through the choices. A+ for great customer service too. Also A+ for the food. The dessert we got there was amazing and tasted very fresh, sweet but not too sweet. Turns out the Vietnamese style desserts are pretty similar to shaved ice with all the toppings, except without ice and with coconut milk instead of condensed milk. Definitely look forward to returning here often! We live pretty far away but between the food court, the GW supermarket, and the hair salon all in the same plaza, it's very worth the drive.

A great place for customizable Vietnamese Che! Choose your toppings and enjoy. Small - 3 toppings, regular- 4 toppings, large - 5 toppings. They also have other desserts to try. CASH ONLY.

Cash only. So I have no idea what I got because my friend's parents ordered for me based on their description. Here's my take on the desserts having never really have tried Vietnamese desserts before. Drink: I'm not a big fan of sugary drinks anymore (don't even like boba), so I wouldn't get it for that reason but I did like the different layers. Durian sticky rice: it's not quite sticky because of the powder, and there's durian cream that's on the bottom (person put it on bottom rather than top accidentally). My Korean mom liked it because it reminded her of rice cakes/. Bean/rice with coconut cream (not pictured): this was probably my favorite. Maybe because it was the most familiar tasting but the coconut cream put it over the edge.

Do you know that feeling when you've tasted real French chocolate for the first time and realize that you've been eating crappy American chocolate your entire life? This is that feeling for Vietnamese desserts. Hien Khanh reigns supreme. They've been around for 40+ years and know their ish. CASH ONLY!! My personal favs are the corn sticky rice (it's the pale yellow one in the smaller clear plastic cup) and the che dou (sticky rice with beans). Bryan serves up great hospitality! I'll be back!

This review is regarding my whole experience of trying to buy their sesame balls for my baby shower. Three days before my shower I called on the phone to try to place a large order for pick up. The person in the phone, refused to tell us the price, told me I had to come order in person. I drove from OC to the 626 to order. The people at the shop then tell me that I can just come on the day of my shower and get it instead of preordering it. On the day of my shower, I had my sister come and buy some. Only to find out they were all out. This was mid-afternoon, so I was just over it at this point. I made so many attempts to order via phone, in person and wasted my time and energy to support their business. It's truly disappointing because their desserts are good. So for this situation, I will not be coming back. They really need a better system when people want to buy in bulk. They lost out on an opportunity, but also making me come from the OC in person to learn the price was ridiculous. I didn't mind to go because assumed I was able to pre-order in person to secure the goods. But they also wasted my sister's time because I asked her to go and buy them on the day of because that's what I was told. This whole fiasco was a mess, and disappointing.
