Wali Dessert — Restaurant in Columbus

I’ve stopped by a handful of times whenever I’m craving Hong Kong desserts. This place is the only one that I know of that sells desserts like this in the Columbus area.

I've grown up eating egg tarts all my life (Hong Kong, Macau, San Francisco, Vancouver, Toronto) and this place has surprisingly one of the best.

You can never go wrong with any of the mango desserts.

The matcha roll was good and they top it with matcha powder which is a little bitter, but worked well with the cake as a whole.

Their black sesame bowl lacked sugar for my liking, but the sugar level in everything else was good, even when we got the reduced sugar milk tea.

Their matcha ice cream cake had poor texture. The ice cream tasted freezer burnt/“dry”?. Sort of tasted like ice and very little matcha flavor. There was yellow cake and red beans between the layer of ice cream.

Their desserts are pretty filling, so l typically come here for a meal, and not after eating out.

I also joined their membership program. They charge $100, and it's like a gift card, but you get 10% off your purchase on everything purchased on your membership card. And you can refill it in $50 or $100 increments. I'd you lose your card, they can look you up with your ID, but they will charge you a $3 replacement card fee. Also, bring cash to tip, they don't have an option to tip via CC or the membership card.

Like a lot of restaurants, they're short staffed, where there was only one or two workers there, so it takes a little bit to get your food if there are other...

Randomly stopped by with some friends and was pleasantly surprised by the interior! It's really cozy and nice inside. As others have said, It takes about 5 to 10 minutes to get your drink. It's well worth it, and as far as I could tell everything was made fresh! Fresh cut fruit in my fruit tea, definitely not ingredients that were sitting out preprepared. The prices are pretty fair considering the care and quality taken into making everything. The service was great, a bit of a language barrier but that is absolutely no one's fault! Me and my friends will definitely be back!

I love the small details in the decor, and that they have little games to play like Jenga and playing cards. They have a chalkboard for anyone to draw on. It's really really charming. My friends and I were...

I will usually go to this place regularly but last night i walked in and ordered a Taro Milk Tea with bubble, and I noticed that the lady picked up a dirty measuring cup and rinses it out with water and her bare hands and then proceeded to make my drink. I didn’t really pay too much attention to it because I had gone there multiple time before, but about 10 minutes after drinking it i immediately felt nauseous. I hadn’t eaten anything else last night so I know it was the drink. I have been throwing up every 30 minutes since then, i’ve thrown up 6 times and can’t control my body. I feel absolutely miserable. DO NOT GO HERE I GOT...
