    Came to try the mochi after seeing all the great reviews and social media hype, and it absolutely…read morelived up to it! The mochi was incredibly soft and chewy, and each filling was perfectly proportioned, making every bite balanced, flavorful, and not overly sweet. My favorites were the Chunky Mochi (chunky peanut butter with mochi) and the Chocolate Peanut Butter Mochi. The crunchy peanut pieces added a great textural contrast, making the Chunky Mochi even more satisfying. The combination of salty peanut butter and chocolate created a delicious sweet-and-savory flavor that I loved. We originally tried four different mochi and ended up going back for more. Definitely worth a visit if you're a mochi fan!

    The only thing that can save you on a hot day is something cold, and Osaka-Ya delivers just that…read more Somehow, I'd never been here despite living in Sac my whole life. The cool little snow cone window had quite the crowd, but the wait was short. As someone who doesn't usually love cold desserts, I really enjoyed the Tiger's Blood flavor and the ice had a really nice texture. I appreciated this one and the serving size, especially because I recently learned it is indeed possible to mess up a snow cone, but I won't name names. There's also a little market inside. Sadly, no onigiri on Sundays, but I'll definitely be back to try some. My girlfriend got a mochi and loved it. Very charming spot!

    This was our first time at Water & Salt Shaved Ice, and I already know it won't be our last…read more I went with the piña colada shaved ice with pineapple coconut ice cream, because apparently I wanted a full tropical vacation in a cup. It was cold, creamy, sweet, and packed with flavor. The pineapple and coconut worked perfectly together, and the ice cream in the middle was a very nice surprise. Honestly, it disappeared way faster than I planned. Great first visit, great flavor, and definitely a solid spot when you need something cold and sweet. Until next time!

    Wanted to check out this new spot, so I ordered the Piña Colada since it was one of their…read morespecialties. The first few bites were actually really good, but toward the end I started noticing these little gummy bits throughout it. There were so many that it kind of caught me off guard and took away from the overall experience. As other reviews have mentioned, the cashier at the front didn't come across as very friendly and had a RBF. She had a pretty serious demeanor and gave the impression that she didn't really want to be there. It's not a huge deal and I understand I'm not at like some Michelin star place, but I do think the customer service could be improved. One thing I also noticed was that the customer who ordered behind us received their items before we did, which was a little annoying. I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to come back, but if I'm in the area again, I'd be willing to give some of the other menu items a try.

    I haven't been to Taiwan Best Mart since the pandemic and completely forgot about the place until I…read moredrove by today. I ordered the Bento Box to-go and it was ready in less than 10 min. Each Bento Box comes with purple rice, pickled mustard green (my fav), sautéed Taiwanese cabbage, and two daily side of your choice. You also get to pick the main dish, which I selected the stewed pork. For the sides, I went with original sausage and stewed egg. I'm trying to prioritize my protein whenever possible and they are protein friendly here. I appreciate the items were neatly arranged in the to-go Bento Box. I thoroughly enjoyed every items I have selected. It wasn't greasy and full of flavors. Besides Bento Boxes, they have noodles, soup, small bites and side dishes. I want to try the Taiwanese Fried Chicken next time. They also have a freezer full of dumplings, fish balls, sauces, cooked items and etc. for purchase. I got the Zha Jiang (pork meat sauce) that I can't wait to try on noodles. There are 4-5 tables to dine in if you preferred but I think this is more like a take-out spot.

    Am I crazy? Went to court and decided to try a different spot that I've never tried. I walked in…read moreand nobody was at the front counter. There was a sign that says to take the QR Code to put in my order. I stood there by the counter thinking ok someone will come eventually. A man came to counter and greeted hello and next thing you know it he walked to the back of the restaurant where the kitchen was. I scratched my head thinking, OK I GUESS THEY WERENT KIDDING about ordering through their QR CODE. I had to turn off my WIFI on my phone because XFINITY WAS interfering with my browser access. I'm stepped outside in front of their restaurant and ordered. I ordered their bento with a garlic sausage and a beef soup. What's bad is by waiting in their showroom dining area, I was never given a receipt to confirm if I put in my order. I'm not even sure if it went through. My card confirmed they took my money. So I guess it went through. Their QR code app doesn't even have a way to tell me if I made the order or not. Checked my email and still no receipt. My food was ready in 5 mins. On my way out as the young man handed me my package, I asked him "is this how people normally pay by QR CODE?" He answered with a hesitant tone, "Yes " I replied, "ok just checking." The Garlic Sausage reminded me of the Filipino Garlic longaniza. Slightly different. Maybe it's lighter but it tasted good. There was steamed cabbage and garlic seaweed. Pretty good. I think the food reminds me of home style cooking.

    Such a refreshing stop on a hot summer day! We tried a 50/50 fruit freeze, Thai tea ice cream, and…read morea vanilla ice cream soda. The 50/50 came with guava and mango sandwiching vanilla ice cream for the perfect refreshing yet creamy chilly treat. The ice cream soda is something I've never had before and it was great! If you're a fan of ice cream floats but find them a bit "heavy," I would recommend the ice cream soda. It's made with soda water, syrup, and ice cream, instead of soda and ice cream so it tastes a little less strong! The Thai tea ice cream was good, it tasted pretty mild like vanilla mixed with that tea. They also have other food like sandwiches and hot dogs which is nice if you want a bit more of a meal with your dessert. The shop area inside is small but nice and cool, and there are a good amount of benches and tables outside. Luckily we found a spot when we went but I would definitely not expect to easily find a spot to sit - especially on a hot sunny day!

I had difficulty ordering online as it would not accept my credit card. I was doing my order online so my fiancé and I wouldn't have to stand in line. Lucky tried it twice to order and it kept telling us there's an error with the card. So Lucky just took my order with the hand held device, which accepted my card. There's a reason why Gunthers has a line out the door. They will fix any issue you have without question. Hope they'll be open when my grandchildren grow up. Sincerely, Derek
