I've been a regular customer for a long time, I go to this restaurant almost every day so there's no way not to appreciate the beautiful service. I don't charge it for nothing.

Stumbled upon this place, and so happy we did. The menu is confusing, but the owner was very helpful in explaining what is what. The mango sago was icy and cool, not overly sweet which I like. Probably really great served warm too! Can’t wait to try the waffle ice cream, charming place for date night ??

Kowloon sells a lot of Chinese/Hong Kong savory snacks and desserts, equivalent to Golden Island but in the Richmond. I would say most items are reasonably priced ($5-10). I believe they're open pretty late on certain nights as we came here around 10PM and there was no wait. We ordered the:*spicy popcorn chicken (didn't taste spicy at all, but the chicken had a good crispy fry to it)*mango sago*mango go-go*super mango pudding: the mango pudding and mango ice cream in this was so good! Definitely a must try item *super b kid grass jellyThis is the spot to come to if you're in the mood for some late-night snacks or desserts!

Came with friends after dinner nearby. Ordered the sesame paste and the mango go go and they are both delicious. The restaurant was quite busy and we ended up waiting for maybe 10-15 minutes or so but the food came quickly.

Must-try: their mango sagoWhy visit? This place has a giant menu and you can find most Asian inspired desserts (with a focus on Chinese) here, I find it cool they have both a hot and cold dessert menuProtip: I'd hesitate to try the non-dessert food here

Came here for dessert around 8:30pm and I love how there is so much variety on Hong Kong snacks/food/dessert. It's usually pretty busy although there will be 1-2 tables that are up for grabs. Although we came for dessert, can't help but to look at the food menu as well. Very typical hk cafe style food. Will definitely try to come for a meal next time. Service is fast and food comes out fast as well. Thai time we tried the ice cream waffle sandwich, egg puff, mango sago, and mango madness. Ice cream waffle sandwich 5/5: live the crispiness of the waffle and it's still warm! The ice cream in between has a good amount and the vanilla ice cream is really creamy and good as well. Egg puff 3/5: the batter was okay. I would like it to be a tad sweeter and it also looked a little overdone, but it is crispy on the outside. Mango sago 4/5: love the giant mango chunks on top. The coconut milk goes well with this dessert as wellMango madness 4/5: fruit chunks on top of mango ice cream. The mango flavor on the ice cream was really good and has little chunks of mango as well. Great spot for dessert! Will have to try the food next time!

i only eat the desserts, and they are always amazing especially the sago. not only is it really good but the owner is so kind and just seems to be good hearted. he stopped me outside to tell me i forgot a drink i no longer wanted, it was so cute! overall 10/10

The Curry Calamari was a standout with its irresistible curry sauce that I couldn't help but dip my rice crepes into. The Beef Brisket with Rice Crepes, although enjoyable, left me wishing for a heartier beef portion. The Mixed Fruit in Ice Cream Waffle was a simple yet satisfying dessert, offering a medley of flavors in each bite.

My personal original favorite Hong kong Style cafe/diner. There have been many new faces in this neighborhood but Kowloon Tong has been a favorite for egg puffs, snow frog, chicken wings and Chinese desserts for over 20 years with a steady stream of college kids and neighborhood families looking for a light meal or snack. I recommend the hot sago or steamed egg/milk custard on a cold rainy day. Egg puff sundae if it's hot out & the combo special if your extra hungry. If you come anywhere near closing, expect to wait as this is their rush hour and they're Family owned and operated so please tip kindly!

First night staying in san francisco and my friend came to this cozy, warm and fast dessert place at night. They were still busy when we got there at around 10pm, I would say maybe they have like 6-7 tables there? I think it's pretty good for a small dessert place that's hidden in residential area. We ordered mango pudding with real mango on top, so beautiful. Their signature egg puff, crunchy and hot. Be careful! The rice roll with sauces, this one is very HOT!!! But Yummy! Lastly we have was the ice cream with waffle. perfect ending. The little girl and I think that's his dad took our order fast and accurate. She's pretty good for her age. She is very flexile when we changed our minds a few times and she was not annoyed like other servers at all. I like her service. She came back later with a big tray of our drinks and water. Impressive. I'm loving my first night at San Francisco already. Let's keep exploring the city !
