Snowy mooncake was not overly sweet; it was just right in sweetness to me.
alice.dentartchicago
These mini mooncakes are truly mini; they're tiny, you can finish one in a bite, but the taste is quite good. They have a rich fruity flavor.
Kylie
These mini mooncakes are delicious, and they're all individually wrapped and very pretty.

Delicate, small, sweet, soft and delicious!
EnperA
The crust is a bit thick, but it's soft, not hard. There are two layers of filling inside; one seems to be mung bean paste and the other mango filling. The flavor is quite layered, but overall it's on the sweeter side. It's alright.

Maxim's Mooncakes are the best – delicious and not greasy.

Produced by Maxim's, the quality and taste are guaranteed, and the price is cheaper than Chinese stores

The taste is so-so. I bought it for the Mid-Autumn Festival, hahahaha ?. I put it in the refrigerator and forgot about it. I suddenly remembered it more than a week after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

There are still a lot of them, and the price is quite good

I bought it on sale, and it's really delicious; it's real durian flesh.

This moon cake is delicious. The durian flavor is very strong and I can tell it’s from the fresh durian.

This was pretty good, packaging is so nice!
Vivian
Our family enjoyed a wonderful Mid-Autumn Festival with these cool, soft, and chewy durian mooncakes . The kids loved them!
lany
It's delicious! The durian inside doesn't taste artificial at all. I think it's even better than that popular mille-crepe cake

Tastes like home! Love this! The best of them all!!!
Bella
It's packed with durian, so delicious, but expensive. I hope there will be more discounts.
zihanqiu37
There's only one durian in the box, about 1.5 to 2 times the size of a Maxim's durian. It has a strong durian flavor, but the texture isn't particularly impressive.
dangnguyen138
The cake is delicious, and there's plenty of durian!
Mia
I loved these mooncakes. Very unique and modern taste. The chocolate ones were the best. Definitely have to try them!
