My quest for US quality frozen yoghurt continues. Today, I tried Berry Good in Soho. Located on Graham Street, you’ll find it if you walk up Wellington Street (where Yung Kee and Tsui Wah are), pass Cafe Siam and Pizza Express, until you hit Pacific Coffee. Graham Street is located on your right, and you’ll see Berry Good a few stores down. I was really proud when I found it!
Unlike Yo Mama, with it’s clean and modern decor, Berry Good didn’t have much of a decor. It is simple, with a fridge, a counter and a few chairs and tables. Priced at $30 for a small cup with 1 topping ($5 for extra toppings), it is priced a tiny bit more than Yo Mama. But the taste of the yoghurt was one step closer to Berry Chill, I can taste the Yakult (and indeed, we can even see the Yakult in the fridge)! It is still a bit too milky and sweet though. The texture was also not exactly frozen. I ordered the same toppings as I did at Yo Mama- Strawberries and Mochi- and they were more or less the same. I miss good old chewy fake US mochi’s! Over all though, I’d put Berry Good ahead of Yo Mama. Sadly, Yo Mama is the more prevalent store across Hong Kong.
Next stop, Yoghurtime on Elgin. Anymore suggestions?

Hong Kong has English street names o.o
Comment by Katherine January 10, 2010 @ 1:44 pmThere’s a tiny store called Crumbs in Causeway Bay, on the streets behind Sogo (around the pet stores) that just opened serving frozen yoghurt and scones. There’s one topping they have called house crumbs which they bake throughout the day in the store so it’s fresh.
Comment by O January 10, 2010 @ 8:08 pmI like both Yomama and BerryGood. Haven’t tried the other, but whatever you do, don’t bother with the one next to St. Paul’s Convent (I think it’s called Yogo or something like that). It’s aimed at students, so I initially thought the $15 for froyo was a real winner. But the portions are tiny and the presentation was scrappy. It’s good for schoolgirls on lunch money budgets, but a real fail otherwise.
Comment by Mich January 12, 2010 @ 4:54 amTheres also another store in Causeway Bay neear St Pauls Hospital and Lee Gardens called Yogo…It isnt bad too!
Comment by Jbanville January 12, 2010 @ 7:20 amIf you want the best frozen yogurt with the best tart yogurt taste, fresh toppings, and a cute and modern enviornment you need to come to seattle and go to citra in the university district. It is by far the best i’ve ever had. (better then berry chill by far) unfortunatley they aren’t doing that great..fro yo is a little expensive so college students may not be the best clientel.
Comment by Amanda January 12, 2010 @ 1:25 pmHands down, after trying Yogurttime, Yomama and Berrygood, the best one yogurt place is Yogo (near Victoria Park) in Causeway Bay. Tons of flavors, all types of toppings and every single flavor was tastier than the other three!
