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.
