I have been to the other Brian's location in Sawtelle many times, so was excited to try this spot…read morebecause I live very close by. I can report that this Venice location is just as good as the Sawtelle location however they don't have popping pearls and other fillings that the Sawtelle location has, that will be the only downside. Parking also is a bit tricky in this area, I found a street spot, the other option would be a pay lot. I would suggest going after the rush because due to its proximity to the Venice Boardwalk it can get extremely crowded at a certain times. They don't have an indoor seating area, it's basically a to go window a half a block from the beach. For this visit, I ordered cherry and banana and loved it. Honestly, all the flavors I have tried here are great and would highly recommend to anyone.

Let me just say....YES!!! If you are remotely thinking of having Bachan's Shaved Ice for your…read moreparty....don't think..just do it! 1. Communication was great! 2. Answered all my questions quickly 3. Price was reasonable! 4. Customer Service was amazing! 5. The taste and flavors were sooo good! I decided to book Bachan for a 50th birthday part in July. I contacted Bachan and they got back to me right away ( unlike some other vendors who took forever to respond and lost out ). Joy ( from Bachan) informed me they had another event that day but they would be able to acommodate my party. The reservation was easy. I filled out their form and picked all the wonderful flavors and we were all set. On the day of the party, they set up quickly and my guests were ready to try all the flavors! Their staff of 2 ( Audrey and Laura ) was so nice and explained the different flavors and toppings to my guests! I have to say my favorite was THAI TEA with Coconut Cream topping!! Don't hesistate to call Joy and her team and Bachan and get them for your party! I will DEFINITELY use them again!

Review is long overdue! We found Bachan on IG and have now had them at 2 milestone events (our…read morewedding & 30th birthday party). Our friends and family raved about the shaved ice every time. There are so many flavors to choose from and they're all good, some of my favorites include Thai Tea, POG, and their Matcha. All the kiddos loved the blue raspberry too! Service is always super friendly and sweet. Shout out to Joy and Audrey for being awesome to work with in the planning stages. We happened to have Erika as our server at both our events and she's also such a delight! Definitely consider adding Bachan as a sweet treat to your next event! Flavors are great and service is even better :)

I stumbled across Noon Ice Bowl inside Westfield Century City mall, and I'm so glad I did! Their…read moreshaved ice is unlike anything I've had before -- it's served in a frozen ice bowl so it stays cold and refreshing for so much longer. I tried the wine, mango, matcha, and Dubai choco flavors, and mango was definitely my favorite The ice itself is super soft and silky, and I love that they use homemade fruit purées, which makes the flavors taste so fresh. The presentation is fun, the quality is great, and it's such a perfect treat if you're walking around the mall and want something sweet but refreshing. Definitely recommend Noon Ice Bowl if you're in the area -- it's a unique dessert experience you won't find everywhere! Also owner is so nice !!!

Tried Shavers for the first time tonight and overall I really liked it. I will say that Brian's…read moreShaved Ice is still my favorite in town, but Shavers is a nice second option. I wish they would offer popping pearls and a few more flavor options but in the end it is a great sweet treat. Inside is pretty small and is more designed to go, which is what we did. Both of the employees working were polite and everything was made in a few minutes. They don't have a dedicated parking lot, but we were able to find a space directly in front so parking is really easy in this part of town. For this visit, I chose cherry and strawberry and got a large and it was honestly huge. I would say medium is more than fine and a large is something that would be hard to finish. I would recommend this to any fan of Hawaiian shaved ice and would stop in again next time I am in this part of town.

If you've had real Hawaiian ice like at Jo jo's in Kauai or Ululani's( now has a store in…read moreHollywood) the shaved ice at this cute tiny store with friendly service is a feeble version. We each got three flavors - 6 total- and neither of us could taste one iota of flavor in the syrup any one of them! We basically were eating tasteless colored topping. To make matters worse, unlike good to the very bottom true Hawaiian shaved ice, the "syrup" penetrated all of 1/16" of the ice so the minute you took even a shallow scoop, you were left with a giant plain white ice ball in the middle. Add to that the cost is expensive for what you get, and it is served in this cone like dish which with the top heavy ball of ice, is easy to tip over on the table. We definitely won't be back.

So good! Lots of delicious flavors to choose from Watermelon, grape, lime, raspberry and many more!…read moreBtw Tigers Blood is Cherry and Coconut, my new fav!

Probably one of the best quality tasting Italian ice's ive had in a long long time. I recently…read morefound this place & have been back every day the last 4 days in a row! I am obsessed with the cotton candy flavor. Not only is the taste spot on, but just the quality of the presentation itself , is unmatched. Its easy for Italian ice to melt quickly or lose that consistency half way through your ice, but even when I get the large, this ice keeps its shape and melts just enough to give it some flavor juice. I have tried the lemon and bubble gum as a tester, but ultimately I always end up just getting all Italian ice of cotton candy. It's located in a small parking lot, but parking is never an issue, I always find a spot. BONUS that its only 10-15 min from my place so I will be coming back very soon!
