Rice Cake Master 南大門

Tried their Szechuan style spicy cold noodles. It is super small. Just a couple bites for $9. It tastes really good but it is expensive for cheaper ingredients. It would be nice for them to put more noodle and veggies. It only filled half the container.

With my friends been there for almost 5 times??? They constantly come out new desserts!! I really love their desserts with sticky rice and red beans etc, most of them tastes not too sweet but purely enjoyable!!kinda both nutrient and tasty, comfort desserts tho!

Very underwhelming. Got the osmanthus rice cake and it’s very bland except for the syrup on top. The texture is not fluffy nor soft. Maybe I have to resteam it? But there’s really no osmanthus flavour beside the syrup. Very pricey for 10$… just some bland stiff rice cake… I know they’re not supposed to sticky like mochi, but I was expecting a lighter texture, between a 松糕and 糯米糕。but it was weird and stiff. It’s IG worthy tho, nice decor and nice staff. But overpriced and underwhelming. UPDATE: finally figured out why the texture is weird. After resteaming and forcing down three more pieces. The bottom 30% was not properly risen. So it had the texture of a gummy muffin… the top 70% part is how it’s supposed to be though - dryer, slightly fluffy. Hope they improve their technique soon!

A few of us tried a few mochis for the first time at the Burnaby location. The review is only based on the mochis. The ratings are from 1(worse) to 5 (best) star. All the mochis had a nice smooth texture and were a decent size. Mango mochi – 4 star – filled with fresh mango and light whipped cream. The mango was just ripe. Not overly sweet. Slightly mushy. Durian mochi – 5 star – if you LOVE Durian, you won’t be disappointed. It’s filled with fresh durian (I am not a durian fan but I could smell it even before it’s opened) and light whipped cream. A bit on the pricey side, over $10 with taxes. Purple Sweet Potato & Sweet Red Bean mochi – 3 star – the four of us all agreed it looked prettier than the taste. Blah tasting. The place is located off Imperial and Royal Oak in Burnaby. There are 2 locations on the west coast and one on the east coast of Canada. When you walk in, not all the choices are visible. I am not sure if they sold out early or it because they only offer a limited quantity per day. Note the menu on their website isn’t the same as the one posted at the store. I would have tried the matcha mochi. There are a couple of interesting combinations (salted egg yolk) if you love trying different things. Over the top on the packaging.

We enjoyed going to the Richmond location and we are happy to see another location open up closer in Burnaby. For myself, the rice cake snacks feel very unique. I recommend trying their signature items before trying other flavors. One downside is I didn’t see any free parking nearby. Only city street parking.

Nice and efficient service! First time at Nam Dae Moon, so wanted to try a variety of items - the Chestnut & Date and Sesame Glutinous Rice Cakes, and Mango and Taro & Dried Meat Floss Mochi. Favorites were the mango mochi and chestnut & date rice cake. The black sesame relied on its loose topping for flavour, but the chestnut/date flavour was strong and built into the cake itself. The mochis had ample filling but at $5 to $6, isn't your everyday treat. It's nice that they have both sweet and savoury options. Unfortunately they're best eaten on the day of or within 2 days (short shelf life), so I couldn't purchase more at once. Will be back for some of their other offerings in the future!

We love Mochi/Dango and have been all over Japan trying it, we were excited to try this. The mochi was soft and the filling was nice, was it worth 5 bucks maybe. The service was great, but it scored low on the amount of over packaging for this product not environmentally friendly at all.

Love the Soybean glutinous rice cake and redbean glutinous rice cake the most. They're soft and chewy. Very nice to see the package with reusable insulation bag that keep the products cool or warm.
