Can't come to SGV without a visit to Salju Desserts. Absolutely the best shaved snow around…read more They're a tiny place, but clean with two seating areas. You can order either at a kiosk or go the the counter to order there. They offer an extensive selection of snow flavors, syrups, and toppings. There's also a variety of other desserts and beverages, but I have never been able to resist the snow. Be aware that the small size is large enough for 2 or 3 people to share, and the medium is bigger still. On the several times I've been here, service has always been both cheerful and speedy. A real pleasure. I live quite a distance away, an hour or more depending on traffic, but plan to return many more times. It's that good.

Ive been her a few times now over the years. Really solid shaved ice place. Has some dairy and…read morenon dairy options, and wide variety of toppings. You can order at the kiosk and its super easy. This recent time I got the pandan flavoured ice with 3 toppings: boba, oatmeal, rainbow jelly, condensed milk. The pandan flavoring was really, really light. If you ate it on its own then you can taste it but with any of the toppings, it washes out and you get a weird bitter aftertaste. Needs way more intensity of the Pandan for it to shine through. The boba was sadly unevenly cooked. Some balls were undercooked with a little firm center, others were completely mushy. Rainbow jelly is the usual one you can get anywhere, nothing special to comment on. Free parking lot out front but can get busy. You can find street parking in the nearby areas too. Inside the place is small with a few tables you can sit at, clean and comfortable enough. People are nice I suppose but there was minimal interaction since you order and pay at the kiosk. Pricing was reasonable, not cheap, not overly expensive. They open really late, which is a perk. Overall 4/5 I think is fair. Ive had better items from them in the past, but this time 3.5/5 for quality of their product.

Overall, the vibes were great to play board games and food/drinks were readily available, but the drink and food were just okay/mediocre. Popcorn chicken has lesser quantity than I expected for the price but it was quite meaty. Hawaiian Fruit Tea sadly tastes watered down even with 25% sweet.

The dessert shop doesn't have its own seating but it's connected to their main restaurant and you're welcome to order it for dine in on the restaurant side. We were greeted by really friendly aunties as we stepped in, they were really excited to introduce us to various different menu items they had. They encouraged us to try the mango desserts since it's in season right now, so we got a large mango mochi and a mango and grapefruit pudding. The mango mochi was absolutely delicious, the mango was really juicy and sweet and the layer of mochi was soft and chewy. There was some cream in there but it didn't add much to it. The mango and grapefruit pudding was tasty as well. The mango pudding had good flavour that wasn't too sweet and the texture paired well with the chunks of mango and grapefruit. In my opinion the portions of the dessert are a bit small for the price. Overall a great no frill dessert place, would definitely come back to try their other desserts!

I just discovered the ultimate hidden gem in LA's Cantonese dessert scene! Nine Square Dessert is genuinely mind-blowing--every single bite completely blows my mind! Signature Fresh Coconut Jelly I cannot recommend this enough! It is absolute perfection! Smooth and silky on the tongue, with a texture so impossibly rich and velvety it feels like coconut-flavored panna cotta! The sweetness is super restrained, letting the pure, intense natural coconut flavor shine through. The absolute best part is the top layer: covered in coconut flakes and golden, crispy toasted coconut chips that add an incredible "crunch-crunch" texture and bring it to a whole new level! Long-lasting, rich flavor after every bite--it completely ruins every other coconut jelly I've ever had! Coconut Milk Peach Gum & Snow Bird's Nest with Taro Balls Literally top-tier! The coconut milk base is rich and fragrant, and the taro balls are insanely chewy and bouncy--like little ping pong balls bouncing around in your mouth! The peach gum is stewed until smooth and velvety, gliding across your palate with a rich coconut aroma. The layers of texture are incredible and so fun--you honestly can't stop eating it! Mango Pomelo Sago The ultimate classic Cantonese dessert, and they nailed it! The mango puree is so silky and smooth that the moment you bite into it, an explosion of intense mango flavor bursts in your mouth with zero fiber--just pure, velvety perfection. The juicy pomelo sacs are the absolute star, perfectly balancing the mango's sweetness while elevating both flavors into a magical synergy. It is SO juicy!! I was completely lost in dessert heaven! If you love Cantonese desserts, go check it out with your eyes closed. These three are absolute must-orders--you'll be thanking me later! A Little Bonus: What touched me wasn't just the amazing desserts. The moment I walked through the door, a quote on the wall hit me right in the feelings: "The world can be a bit bitter, so I want to give you a little sweetness." For anyone getting off work, walking in here feels like being wrapped in a warm embrace by a friendly stranger. One bowl of this dessert brings sweetness to your tongue and warmth to your heart, instantly washing away all that workday burnout~

I ordered the Peach pancakes (summer seasonal) this time, and I'm not even a big peach eater, but these had a great refreshing taste for the hot AF summer. Of course, they were not overly sweet whatsoever even with the vanilla bean ice cream on the side. The pancakes themselves taste a bit eggy and I'm an egg fan so that worked out great for me. I also ordered the peach lime tea and added clear boba, less sweet. The drink went perfectly because it had fresh lime and it's pleasant to pair sweets with savory & sour. Plus the textures from the boba and pancakes made it more fun to eat. I probably waited about 15 minutes or so for the pancakes, but the space itself is cute and the staff seem friendly. Their bathroom is clean and there are a good amount of spaces to sit inside and out. Parking seems to be free in the lot or underground. If you CUTE and SWEET I recommend ~

The girl working the counter was a young girl just getting by her summer day job. She was nice but timid. It was our first time there and a little more energy on her end could've been better. Ordered the ube swirl, pineapple dole whip, mung bean taiyaki, and a custard one togo. The taiyaki that goes onto the ice cream is a lot bigger than one we ordered to go. I thought it would be as big, but when I got it, it was so much smaller and flat. Also, the taiyaki that goes on top of the ice cream was old. It had been sitting there for a while or was made earlier as it was hard and difficult to bite. The red bean inside I also assumed was a paste like how they make the Japanese version, however there were whole pieces in there. It was okay, but I thought they'd be like paste. Overall, the only thing that was good was the ube swirl and the pineapple dole whip. It was also extremely warm in the shop, like no AC in the triple digits summer heat. Had to eat it elsewhere. I most likely won't be back.
