    Stopped by Ant's Ice Cream after lunch at a nearby restaurant and decided to try their ice cream flights. We ordered two flights which included four flavors each for a little over $16. One thing to note is that some flavors come with an additional surcharge, which was a bit disappointing since the flight price isn't completely all-inclusive. We sampled a wide range of flavors through the flight: ube, pistachio, coconut, durian, black sesame, jasmine milk tea, cookies & cream, and pandan. The standout flavors for me were the pandan, black sesame, and ube. Each flavor was distinct and prominent. The ice cream had a very stretchy consistency that while some may enjoy, I found a little too gummy for my preference. The plastic spoons provided also weren't quite sturdy enough for the dense texture, making it somewhat difficult to scoop and eat. The shop itself is fairly small with only a handful of tables available both inside and outside. Seating is limited, but it's a nice spot for a quick dessert stop if you're already in the area and interested in trying some unique Asian-inspired flavors. Easy parking in the shared lot.

    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

    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.

    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

    I went here today because I was interested in trying out Durian-flavored ice cream. As someone who is Vietnamese and grew up in a Vietnamese home, eating durian is one of the best fruits that tastes good despite the smell. I found this place on Instagram, and because of the constant Asian flavors featured in those ads. I quickly got intrigued and decided to drive here before I started work as a tour guide. I tried to pick the Pandan mung bean ice cream and the avocado flavours, but because of its popularity and with Father's Day a few days ago. It was all sold out. I can really tell that this place sells the best Asian ice cream, especially classic flavors. Some of the ice cream flavors had Vietnamese names to them because some of them are popular in Vietnam and in overseas Vietnamese households. I ordered the banana split because it's my first time eating it. I can also customize my own banana split. I picked Pandan and grass jellies. I also picked black sesame since it almost tastes like chocolate or whey. I also picked vanilla and I also got durian. There was also chocolate drizzle and whipped cream. The banana split tasted so good. This place also has good wifi. There's also two tablets you can use to order what you want. .

    Peach Oolong Tea

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

It was really good! Very refreshing and the right amount of sweetness. The matcha could be bolder, but I thought it was still a nice touch to have with the drink. The Jasmine Oolong Jelly was a lot denser than I imagined, kind of like the texture of a rainbow jelly (but not as bouncy), but it was still pretty delicious! The overall flavors were pretty good for a boba drink. I was initially intrigued by their durian coffee, but their tea here is actually pretty good. Not sure how their coffee is here, but will definitely try next time if in the mood for coffee! Also the cups here are pretty cute!
