    Halo Halo Ice Cream Float (16OZ)
    Paul N.

    One of my favorite ice cream joint, more than 20+ flavors with a nice atmosphere. The service is attentive and are able to get free samples before picking. Thanks Mr. Ant!

    Strawberry shortcake with waffle bowl and biscoff cookie crumbs
    Allegrah S

    Found this place down the street after leaving a concert. Place was semi crowded but very snug inside. The digital menus are the main point of ordering (presumably). I tried a few samples but felt hesitant asking since the worker wasn't too enthused, granted it was late, but I wish they were a little more inviting. After nearly 15 minutes of scrolling on their menu, I settled on the lychee ice cream. My partner got the strawberry shortcake with a waffle bowl with biscoff crumbs. Lychee ice cream was good, but I disliked the consistency of the frozen lychee pieces. The strawberry shortcake had the same issue, whole pieces of rock hard frozen strawberries. Overall, I'd probably be back but only if I'm in the area. It was good, but portion wise for price, I've had more ice cream for less money and same if not higher quality.

    Peach Oolong Tea
    Jaclyn D.

    Was looking to a dinner and spotted this place near by and super glad we did. First off, they make their ice cream in-house!! How fantastic is that?! And their flavors are not your typical vanilla and chocolate. They have everything from durian to Vietnamese coffee and yuzu cheesecake. We got lucky that they were testing out a new flavor, peach oolong tea, so we were able to test and OMGoodness! It was delicious! Staffs were super friendly and service was fast. It is quite a small location with a few indoors seating but they do have outdoors seating as well. Their drinks also look intriguing and yummy, definitely will be back to try along with other flavors. Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Price: 4/5 Parking: 5/5

    Pandan Bubble Waffle

    Leaving a review so this place never closes. That is how good it is. Fresh ingredients, everything hits, zero complaints. Hidden gem that deserves to stay hidden just enough to keep my table available. Do not sleep on this place.

    The Ube Pistachio ice cream.
    Kathleen N.

    This review has been long-overdue, and I am finally just getting to this. Really great ice cream flavors from both classic to unique that can be found here. Some of my personal favorites are the lychee ice cream, the pandan mung bean, and the ube pistachio. My bestie is a fan of their avocado-durian float. Recently, the bestie and I were able to try their pandan waffle, and the texture and flavor is perfect. They got it down to a tee where the waffle, especially when fresh out of the waffle-maker, has a consistent crunchy but soft and chewy interior that blends all nicely. The place constantly has different flavors that they put out, and they're very good about offering samples too. The space is clean, can be small, but there's a small outdoor seating area too. Service here is great. The owner, Anthony, and his brother are incredibly welcoming and patient. They're super hard workers too who clearly care about the quality and experience of their guests. The plaza they're located in has ample parking space too.

    Jasmine milk tea + boba & Vietnamese coffee
    Cindy L.

    Tip: Ask for a sample! The staff will gladly let you try as many! They're super friendly :) Jasmine milk tea + boba: OMG the jasmine flavor tastes exactly like the taiwanese boba shops. Idk how they did it, but they were able to put that exact flavor into this ice cream! I am a jasmine tea fanatic, and I am always looking for this flavor. With the new upcoming boba shops, that distinct jasmine flavor has been slowly disappearing. So when I tried this jasmine milk tea at Ant's, I almost wanted to cry LOL plus it came with boba! and it was WARM. AND CHEWY. AND SOFT. AND DELICIOUS. I will stop here because I could just go on and on about this flavor lol 1000000/10 would recommend! Vietnamese coffee: Not too sweet and not too strong. Don't get me wrong, I like my coffee strong, but sometimes it can be too overpowering for an ice cream flavor. The flavor was perfect and done so well. (round of applause) lol! Ube Pistachio: So sooooo good! Not sure if I tasted pistachio much? or maybe it was for the pistachio bits that were sprinkled on top. But still good and delicious! Avocado Durian: This was soooo good! I wish there was more durian in it. But maybe that would increase the price. Nevertheless, I would still get it! :) Ambiance & Service: Cozy, local mom & pop shop! The shop might be a little hard to find in the plaza. But I want it that way to gatekeep the shop lol Service is EXCELLENT! The staff are so nice and friendly. I am a pretty indecisive person, but I also felt bad for asking multiple samples. But the guy was super nice and reassured me it was fine. It takes me almost an hour to get here, but I can't wait to come back!

    Dragon fruit and black sesame
    Priscilla V.

    I was looking for a dessert spot nearby that stayed open a bit later, and the name of this place sounded so familiar. I then remembered that I used to order their ice cream back when they were selling from home in Alhambra! I was so happy to see they've opened a storefront. The ice cream is just as delicious and flavorful as I remembered. My favorite flavors are black sesame and coffee, but during my visit I tried the dragon fruit and black sesame, and both were excellent. The quality and richness really stand out, and it was such a nostalgic treat to enjoy again. I'm glad to see how much they've grown, and I'll definitely be back for more.

    ice cream sampler
    Tracy N.

    Cute little dessert spot that had a big variety of Southeast Asian flavored treats. They had flavors like pandan mung bean, durian, lychee, dubai chocolate, and a lot of classic flavors like cookies n cream. In addition to ice cream, I also saw a lot of drinks on the menu as well as waffles, croffles, and banana floats. I went on a Thursday night and they were sold out of maybe 5 ice cream flavors unfortunately The shop is pretty small with limited seating though so when a group of 5 came in, it felt kinda cramped in there. Service was great though and they give pretty generous sized samples. I shared an ice cream sampler with my boyfriend. The texture varied a bit but the texture on some of them reminded me of a thicker version of gelato. These are the flavors we got in order of most to least favorite: durian, lychee, mango, and ube pistachio. The ube pistachio was my least favorite by far though because it left a weird aftertaste in my mouth

    30 different flavors

    Cute spot I found to take the girls for "girls day". It's a day celebrated in Japan. This place has 12 seats, not including the side bench and is comfortable to chill. The flavors we got was: 08 Pandan Mung Bean 09 Vietnamese Coffee with Hong Kong style waffle 10 Lychee 24 Chocolate Chip The owner, ANThony, is really nice and gives pleasant service. Decor is cute.

    Katy W.

    Quick service and a lot of options of unique ice cream flavors. I got the sampler and they let you choose four options. All this was done through an iPad so it was easy to order. I got ube, cookies and cream, Dubai chocolate, and mango ice cream topped with whipped cream and waffle pieces. Ice cream was a nice sweet treat and portions were huge

    Black sesame
    Jenny K.

    Cute little ice cream store inside a plaza and The workers there were really nice! We were able to sample their ice cream flavors. Lots of Asian inspired flavors to choose from. We ended up getting their black sesame ice cream and ube pistachio ice cream. Absolutely loved them. Texture of the ice creams were nice and creamy and flavor was on point! So so good!

    Front
    Victoria C.

    Came here for a late night since it was opened late! It is a tiny shop tucked away in the corner. There was a few inside seats, and a few tables outside. Overall not too much seating areas. There are two ordering kisoks and if those are already in use then if a staff is free, theyll take your order at the front. When i went, there was quite a bit of people here, but that just means that it just has good stuff, right? They serve ice cream and drinks, this time around I only ordered a drink. But I'll definitely be back to try their ice cream since they had so many good flavors that I wanted to try out. I got a mango passionfruit smoothie at 50% sugar. It was still pretty sweet, so maybe next time I'll bump it down a bit more, but it was still delicious. It has lots of mango bits and the drink itself was super creamy and smooth. I didn't really get much of the passionfruit flavor, but the mango flavor did pull through.

    Flight
    Sarah Y.

    Stopped by since this place was known for it's wide variety of Asian flavors. We came in at night time around 8-9pm and some flavors we wanted to try were sold out already. They offer ice cream flights which is a great deal if you want to try a variety of flavors or share with friends. We got the Vietnamese coffee, matcha green tea, ube, and jasmine green tea. All of the flavors tasted exactly how we imagined and the portions were decent.

    SomiSomi!!! Hmmm where to start??…read more My go-to order? Cookies & Cream soft serve with Oreo crumbles, coconut flakes, and Nutella at the bottom. If happiness had a flavor, I'm pretty sure this would be it. The ah-boong cone is already amazing on its own, but adding that Nutella surprise at the bottom feels like finding money in your jacket pocket except better, because it's chocolate yay.. Everyone is incredibly friendly, patient, and always willing to explain the menu.. Parking at this location is surprisingly easy, which is a "W" given the OC life.. There aren't a ton of tables outside. But honestly, that's part of the charm. You'll see people hanging out.. chatting..standing with their ice cream or eating it in their cars which is the full immersive experience Inside seating is available, but when it gets busy, the place has a fun energy with people coming and going, all united by the pursuit of excellent soft serve. If you've never been, do yourself a favor and go. And if you're wondering what to order, Cookies & Cream with Oreo, coconut flakes, and Nutella is a life decision you probably won't regret.

If you're a first timer, definitely get the milk flavor so that you can customize with the variety of toppings that they have.

You can get the soft serve in the taiyaki (kind of like an ice cream cone) or the soft serve in a cup with the taiyaki on top!

We ordered three things; mint chocolate chip, rose, and milk and cereal. All with a bubble waffle cone. The service was disappointing, the guy who worked there seemed like he didn't care and it was just another job. No life to him and was just rude about asking the code for the bathroom. The mint and chip is basic. Nothing too much about it. My kids like it, so I got it. Average 3/5. The rose ice cream tasted like a rose, it was pretty good and very floral. The disappointing part is I was hoping the ice cream would be shaped like a rose as depicted on the picture. Nope, just a scoop and left it as is. 5/5 for taste and 0/5 for presentation. The milk and cereal one was actually pretty good. Especially with Frosted Flakes in it. It literally taste like cereal. 5/5. I would give it a higher star if the service complimented it and th presentation of the rose ice cream did.

We walked into a space that stands out immediately with its themed decor, character designs, and little details that make it feel different from a typical ice cream spot. The shop has a strong personality without relying only on the theme, making it a place that works for both anime fans and anyone looking for unique desserts. The interior is compact but thoughtfully designed, with colorful artwork and small touches that reward a closer look. The biggest highlight is the rotating ice cream selection. The flavors go beyond the usual options, with combinations like ube, sea salt, yuzu orange, and other seasonal creations that give the menu a more adventurous feel. We appreciated that they offer samples before choosing, since the variety makes it hard to decide. The flavors are creative but still approachable, and the dairy-free options are a nice addition for people looking for alternatives. The ube had a rich, earthy sweetness, and the yuzu orange offered a bright, citrusy contrast that kept the tasting experience interesting. The texture of the ice cream was smooth and creamy, and the flavors were well balanced without relying on excessive sweetness. The presentation is also part of the experience. The anime-inspired names, cute designs, and collectible stickers that come with the scoops add a fun element that makes the visit feel more memorable. We noticed a mix of fans and families enjoying the space, and the overall energy of the shop is welcoming and playful. The small details, from the branding to the way the staff interacted with customers, made the visit feel more personal and engaging. Service was friendly and welcoming, and the staff were helpful when explaining the different flavors or letting us try options before committing. They were patient with questions and offered thoughtful recommendations based on what we were in the mood for. The space itself is on the smaller side, so seating can be limited and it may be better suited for grabbing a scoop and enjoying it nearby rather than spending a long time inside. The turnover moves quickly, and the staff manage the flow efficiently. Tsun Scoops is a great dessert stop if you are looking for something more unique than a standard ice cream shop. The combination of creative flavors, anime-inspired atmosphere, and small personal touches makes it feel like a place built around the experience as much as the ice cream itself, offering a visit that is both playful and satisfying.
