One of TikTok’s Favorite Chinese Candies Is Getting Its Own Shop in San Francisco | Eater SF

"Located at 752 Grant Avenue, a bright pink, glossy storefront is slated to open as a candy shop focused on the Chinese treat tanghulu — "literally melted sugar coating skewers of fruit" — promising sticky-sweet sugar kabobs and TikTok-friendly, eye-catching creations. SF Chinatown Today confirmed to Eater SF that the owners plan to open in summer 2025; an Instagram post in January shouted out the new pastel space being built out. There’s no website or social media yet. The opening is described as a return to form for the location, which in the past housed a dragon beard candy shop, Dragon Papa Dessert." - Paolo Bicchieri

The strawberry is very fresh and the sugar coating on the outside is very crisp. It’s not too sweet for me just right when combined with the slight tartness of the strawberry. Highly recommended.

Great product, super fresh and crunchy! Friendly staff, they take cash, and tap to pay / credit cards. Traditional Chinese Tanghulu recipe and sugars.

The quality of the products marketed does not correspond to the information provided in the advertisement. The price of ten dollars for five strawberries is, in fact, unacceptable.

Great tasting, however had 2 locals ask me how much I paid for a stick. $9 seems to be steep to everyone.

I've always seen Tanghulu online and have always craved to try some so of course I had to try this spot! Super cute and Tiny shop. There was 3 types strawberry, grape and mix. I was told they were made fresh by the nice lady at the counter and she was not wrong! The fruit had the perfect crunch and the fruit was perfect juicy, sweet and tart! I really enjoyed it and can't wait to swing by again

Cute little shop where that dragon beard candy used to be. Lots of pictures of interesting fruit, but their selection was a bit limited. Really enjoyed this candy alternative. Mixed Strawberries & Grapes: Look so cool. A nice shiny shell around fresh fruit. Even though there were only a few pieces of fruit, they were quite filling with all the sugar shell. I think I like the strawberry more since it was a little tart and worked perfectly with the sugar coating. The grapes were ok, but there wasn't a big flavor upgrade there.
