Hongyuan candy reviews
What buyers wrote after the bag arrived. Guava collects the most reviews by far, and the complaints cluster around two things: the smell of guava and the taste of the sister flavors.
What the reviews agree on
- It is the restaurant candy
Buyer after buyer says the same thing: this is the one handed out with the check, and the bag was hard to find in stores.
- The bag is bigger than expected
350 g of small wrapped pieces looks like a lot on the counter, and reviewers say a bag lasts.
- Guava smell splits people
Fans call the flavor true to the fruit. Critics call the scent musky and say it lingers.
- Sister flavors are a gamble
Lychee and tangerine peel draw both five-star and one- and two-star reviews for taste.

Great candies
Our local Japanese restaurant has these as free after dinner treats. Looked all over for them and finally found them here. These are the exact ones they serve and are delicious.
Fave
Best little sized, hard candy. The same kind you get at an Asian buffet. Love the flavor, not tart, not too sweet. Just right and it's, again, little, so perfect for quick little treat and breath cleanse. Not suitable for kids in my opinion, could cause choking. Great value for you back for sure. The bag is much bigger than I expected and so many candies inside
My husbands fav
My husband loves these things and has been raving that we finally found "the good Chinese restaurant goodbye candy" so we will def be buying again lol
Yummy!
It takes like tasting a bite out of a fresh guava. Yummy!!!! Great value to find a bag this big at a fair price. We have trouble finding this candy in stores so thrilled to find it on Amazon.
Delicious
Delicious as always. Husband puts 3 or 4 in pocket every morning. Been doing this for years. He loves them.
Delicious little morsels!
I've become the old lady with hard candies in her purse. These are the best!
Mouthwatering!
I first saw these at my nail salon. Like them so much I ordered them from Amazon. I brought them into school and my students go crazy for them! I can’t subscribe the taste, but it’s so much more unique than traditional flavors of candies.I also like that they come individually wrapped.
Yum 😋
I first tried these candies at a Vietnamese restaurant. They would give you a piece of candy when they brought the bill lol. If you like guava flavor, these are addicting. I’m not a big hard candy person, but these are a fav of mine.
Huge Bag of Candy
The bag was huge! I thought it was just going to be a small bag of candy, but it wasn't. Taste was a bit odd at first, but I have never ate guavas before. They were pretty good.
If you're looking for the little guava candy at a restaurant, this is it!
My son gets these at a restaurant where we eat and loves them. Google lense to the rescue to find these. They were it! Yay, kids is so happy. They taste great.
Mouth watering
I love these candies, I first tried them at a restaurant and then I hunted them down here. Taste is a tiny sour but so good.
Delicious and you’ll never run out
This is a HUGE amount of candy . They are delicious , and a great value for the cost. High quality candy that you will never run out of due to the sheer amount this comes with of huge bags .
Very Yummy candy
Finally, after long time I'm able to find it , any time i was dinning out at Japanese Restuarant they give me on candy of this and i always try to find where they sale, thanks Amazon i bought 2 packages .
Very good
I became so addicted to these that I had to ask my mom to hide them. 😅 There are so many and they taste so good. Would buy again.
Great candy very flavorful
Very tasty and a huge bag imo worth the cost
Work perfectly
Not too sweet, just right
Id buy again
4/5 because your breath is going to smell and your mouths gonna taste, *interesting*. Taste is good to me though, but not a commonly enjoyed taste. "Armpit" taste is what most people say the taste of it is. They are not exactly wrong but its more of a tropical and kiwi musk taste instead of armpit lol lasts long and has a slight refreshing feel to it.
Sweet and tangy hard candy. Kids love them.
Sweet and tangy fruity candy. I like these for helping with dry mouth. They are sugary so not good for the teeth or health. Kids love these.
Good flavor guava candy
Curious about guava, so tried this candy. Great flavor and perfect sweet, tangy balance. Great price too.
Real guava flavor
The first time I tasted it I was amazed, it tastes exactly like a real guava! Plus you get so many for the money. I’d buy these again.

Best lychee candy
It's so good. This is the best lychee candy I've found. My kids love it too. I used to get gummy candy but it goes so fast. This hard candy lasts a while.
Delicious, tart but sweet hard candies!
These candies are sweet with a perfect bit of tartness and I eat them constantly. They are about the size of a marble so please do not give to children, but enjoy them yourself!
13 ounces of awesome!
I didnt notice the size of the package was almost a pound and I laughed when I opened the envelope! But these are super tasty and even my mom likes them now! Im going to sprinkle them all over--a few in my bedroom, a bunch in my purse, some in my little work bag. So happy it was the big bag!
Tastes like lychee
Great little candies that tasted like lychee. I discovered these after buying the guava candies we received at a Thai restaurant.
Yummy lychee candy
Wow! What flavor is packed in these tiny little white balls of lychee goodness! love these bite sized tasty gems. they’re individually wrapped. I throw a couple in my purse or my pocket, in my car. they are stashed everywhere. great little pick me ups, breath refreshers. something to just wake your taste buds up -intense flavor, better than the real fruit which is now nine bucks a pound at my local market
So good!!
Kinda a hit or miss flavor, but the people who like them LOVE them!
Dakeyi vs Kasugai Lychee candies
Great candy for the office candy jar. I decided to try this Dakeyi candy as the price was more reasonable compared to the Kasugai lychee candies. The taste is adequate, it will satisfy that craving for a sweet candy, but has a bit of a medicinal/dirt root taste that I personally don't care for. But its OK.
Taste horrible
Large bag. Individually wrapped. Taste horrible. They taste weird. Off? I have had lychee candy before that were fanatic. These taste like Lychee but are not a nice sweet. They didn't taste like regular candy. Extremely artificial tasting. Even the sweetness was artificial tasting. Leaves a weird taste in my mouth and makes everything I eat after taste weird. I had to spit it out. If you don't mind off tasting candy go for this. It was a lot of candy for 12$ if they had tasted even slightly good it would have been worth it. Sorry for the bad review.
One off or usual? I can't say.
Candy was gummy on the surface like old hard candies get & flavor was weak compared to the guava version. There are no dates on the packaging to know how old the candy is. I will wait to buy locally next time.

Balanced flavor, enough pieces to share
These candies are wonderful. Not too sweet, not sour, and each piece is small (a serving is 4 pieces with a total of 50 calories). The generous bag proportion surprised me, and this was a three pack, so I've been sharing them with everyone I know. A traditional-tasting treat, unlike so many new fake sweets.
son in law and grandson eat this flavor nonstop
Grandson will eat 3 of these back to back. He chews them like a little alligator and ask for another one. I don't know why they are both so addicted to this candy . Son in law is constantly ordering. So I ordered them 3 large bags for Christmas
They very best flavor
I give these delicious candies to my fellow employees It keeps them from running away
More than I expected!
It’s three big bags. Definitely enough to satisfy my random craving for this specific flavor.
Interesting, but wouldn't buy again.
Tastes like tart orange and dirt, or maybe mold.Such a strange flavor.

Yum!
My boyfriend and I loved getting the guava candies from restaurants we've been to, so we had to order some for ourselves! Now we love the pineapple flavoured one the most. They're all so tasty!The bags are pretty big, They're going to last us a long while!
Delicious
This hard candy is really good, saw it being given out in mint bowls in a lot of asian restaurants, would recommend to buy, the packages are taped together and are pretty big containing a lot of individual wrapped pieces. Pineapple is a personal favorite
I recommend these candies 100%
These candies are so good! I like all of them! And each bag brings alot of candies. The bags are big. Guava, pineapple & lychee. Thank you Hong Yuan.
Yummy yummy candy
These candies are so good. I bought these some day back in 2025 and I still have some!! I ate all of the Guava ones but I still have some Pineapple and lychee ones.
Great Tasty candy!
Tasty Candy. Not A Guava Fan. But, My Friends who like Guava love it!
Delish
Can't walk by the candy dish without grabbing one.
Very good
The pineapple has a very good flavor
Good Taste. Longer shipping, but it was okay. Not that serious over candy
Apple (red bag) isn't that good. Yellow and Green are awesome.
