Yes yes yes! I think I found my new favorite dessert spot for the summer! These Korean shaved ice…read moreare where it's at! They are perfectly light, and sweet and packed with flavor! You don't feel like you're eating shaved ice! You feel like you're eating a fluffy cloud! When you walk in, you are greeted by kiosks where you place your order. You don't have much interaction with the staff other than than they calling out your number when your order is ready Only downside is they were playing music way too loud! The store itself had maybe 1-2 other parties inside... but the music was too loud we practically had to yell at each other to MAYBE hear the person right next to us. I definitely was not a fan of that vibe. The dessert itself though was phenomenal

After a delicious lunch, my niece and I were on a mission for desserts. This location of Oakobing…read moreis in Koreatown was within walking distance so we decided to check it out. For those driving here, we did notice it was connected to small parking structure. Upon entering the front, there were 2 kiosks. We had no interaction with staff. There was no customization with the selections and there was no one to ask. For instance the mango shaved snow came with the melon. I wanted the strawberry shaved snow with the melon balls but they didn't have that option. When you order additional toppings, they leave it on the side. Not visually appealing at all. My niece and I shared the Strawberry Shaved Ice ($18.99) and added Mochi ($2.50) and Melon Balls ($4.25). After you order from the kiosk, you seat yourself and they'll call your number when your order ready. I really like their shaved ice here because the ice is creamy and flavored before they shave it so it's extra flavorful and creamy. It's just really expensive for what it is and especially pricey when you want additional ingredients. Most other shaved ice businesses will allow multiple ingredients for a portion of the cost. One thing that was weird is how it came in a plate instead of a bowl shaped container. Eat quick and make sure it doesn't tip over. I'm so torn because I like the product after the addition of more toppings, but I'm not sure it's worth the price. Also no staff interaction and lacking customization makes my experience as a customer frustrating and limited. Not sure if I would come back.

First Matcha Spot & A Fun Summer Treat!…read more Decided to try our first matcha spot and went all in by ordering two matcha drinks, two matcha soft serve ice creams, and their shaved ice with our choice of two flavors: Matcha + Ube. Matcha + Ube Shaved Ice -- $9.55 Rating: 8/10 This was such a fun and refreshing shaved ice, especially on a hot day! The matcha shaved ice came with two mochi balls and your choice of soft serve ice cream, and of course we had to go with the Matcha and Ube combination. The texture of the shaved ice paired really nicely with the creamy soft serve. The combination of the two flavors created a nice balance because, let's be honest, matcha by itself can definitely be a little overwhelming with its natural bitterness. Having the sweetness from the ube mixed in gave that perfect little break and made the dessert much more enjoyable. The mochi balls added that extra chewy texture, and overall it was a really refreshing dessert that was fun to try! Service & Ambience Very fast and friendly service with plenty of tables and seating available for groups of friends! It's a nice spot to hang out, enjoy your dessert, and cool down on a warm day. This spot is conveniently located in Atlantic Square, just a couple shops away from Daiso, making it an easy stop while walking around the plaza. Definitely a fun place to try if you're a matcha lover or wanting to explore something different. Can't wait to come back and try more of their matcha specials next time! Happy desserts!

Both came with red bean and mochi. The taro bingsoo also had crispy coconut shavings while the black sesame bingsoo had almond shavings. You also get a side of condensed milk. Both were delicious! I see why it's so popular! So creamy but light and fluffy, my new favorite dessert! They were huge too! Perfect for sharing! A great way to cool down during the warm weather! If I lived closer I would be here all the time! Can't wait to come back to try other flavors!

Good shaved ice & validated parking. (Each store in the Madang mall validates. We got ours…read morevalidated at another store so not sure how many hours this store validates for.) Mango is my favorite. Fresh mangos with flavored shaved ice. The others are good but this time, the mangos were so sweet & the right firmness, giving it good texture. The store got busier as it got later - maybe people came after dinner? There were many tables & we wiped one ourselves. There is a bathroom inside the shaved ice shop. Good place to come with friends to chat over sweets.

Perfect for a hot day. They just opened up. Small shop with big potential. They will start selling…read morehot dog combos this week. Their shaved ice is reasonably priced $5 for 2 flavors and for an extra dollar you can get a scoop of vanilla ice cream added to it, which I highly recommend you put in the bottom first. Honestly, it took me back tpu when I was a kid and had my dad stop the ice cream truck just to get snow cone and on a hot day believe me it hits the stop. The store is small inside but the ambiance is very warming with Hawaiian license plates and Hawaiian decor. The owner and his family are really friendly. Bring cash because right now that's all they're taking.

New to the area. Across from Our Lady of Lourdes church, next to Fred's hand car wash…read more My first visit was on 7/11. I made it before they closed at 8pm. Ordered the 2 shave ices for $5. Mine was just one flavor (bubblegum) and my boyfriend's was blue raspberry, pineapple and cherry with condensed milk ($1 charge) and vanilla ice cream ($1 charge). For the two ices it was $7 flat. CASH ONLY (for now)!! Went back again on 7/12 to get the same order as before. Their ices definitely hit the spot during these hot summer days. Will continue to come back since they're like 5 mins away from where I live and their prices are the best! They also sell hot dogs as stated on their hot dog billboard outside the shop. Their Instagram states that their hours are from 11:30am-8pm.

It wasn't bad, just very pricey for what you get (tiny amount of each topping, so you see mostly white ice for $16.) Easy street and plaza parking.

The Monterey Park location is probably the newest, as it's located underneath the Holiday Inn Hotel, facing the street. It's very spacious inside, and they're not always crowded nor packed. However, this location seems to limit their menu items. The few times I've been here, maybe it's because they're almost closing, they run out of ingredients to build their icys'. I hope that's the case because there are so many line items covered in their menu. Other locations tends to have more items available for you to choose from. Anyhow, it's okay, as long as they continue to make their desserts up to par. Parking is usually in abundance. As the hotel doesn't seem as busy. But the wait at this Meet Fresh can be awhile before you get your order.

Very happy I stopped by after reading reviews. Working right down the street on Valley, this place…read moreis a must try! Came in starving and left with a box to go (plus an extra portion for lunch). Food came in a generous helping and the flavors were spot on. The place was filled at 10:30 in the morning for lunch and breakfast. Service was friendly, everyone behind the cash register and the grill had the aloha spirit. Place was decorated quite nicely, with lots of island decor and U of Hawaii merchandise on the wall. Looking forward to my next visit!

Aloha Food Factory is a great spot for a quick bite. My husband and I got two Spam Musubis each…read more(SGV passport redemption) and an extra order of their famous Macadamia Nut Pancakes. Their musubis were hot and fresh when served. They were cut in half to fit in their to-go containers, which was thoughtful and convenient. The spam they used wasn't the traditional kind that we're used to seeing. It was thicker, but still tasted the same. There was also a lot of teriyaki sauce that off-set the salinity from the spam. There was more sauce than I'd like, it can get a bit messy when you eat them. It was delicious, none-the-less! I definitely recommend getting those. My husband enjoyed the Macadamia Pancakes! He said loved the cream on top and the portion was well worth the $9. The restaurant was pretty packed when we got there around 11am on Sunday. There is only one cashier, so the line will build easily and start to feel a bit congested. They have several menus available to peruse while you're waiting to order. Parking is tight and can be a challenge. We had to circle twice before we found one. Note, it is shared between them and another establishment. They offer seating indoor and outdoor in front and back of the restaurant. Both sides are shaded, it's a great option if you want to enjoy the breeze. I don't normally drive out this way, but I'm glad this passport forced me to come out to try this one. I would love to try their poke! Thanks, Aloha Food Factory, for the great food! We will coming back again.
