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.

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.

The menu had so many flavors and toppings that I wanted to try. I decided on the matcha ice cream with strawberries, sliced almonds, and condensed milk. OMG--it was one of the best desserts I've ever had! The flavors blended perfectly, and every bite was delicious. I can already tell I'll be coming back to try more combinations and flavors. This place is definitely a must-try if you're in the area. Highly recommend!

It's huge, but I feel like I would be happier not sharing. SO SATISFYING.

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.

Now when I tell you that this place was bomb, believe me! It was a hot day, a few days ago & this sweet treat hit the spot! I didn't know "Raspanieves" were a thing so when I found out they sold that, I was HOOKED! I loveeee me some vanilla raspados, so vanilla nieve WITH vanilla raspado....

We ordered…read morethe macadamia nut pancakes (2 pcs, $8.99), one Spam Musubi (4 pcs, $5.99), one Kalua Pig Bowl ($9.99), and one Plate Lunch with one entrée ($13.99). I picked the Lau Lau for an extra $1.99. We were told that the pancakes would take a while, maybe around 30 minutes, but my daughters still wanted them because they order them every time we visit. I originally thought only the pancakes would take longer, but all of our food took quite a while. The Spam Musubi finally arrived around 1:35 PM, the plate lunch came about 10 minutes later, and the pancakes were finally served at 1:50 PM. By then, we were starving, so everything tasted delicious. We just wished the vegetables were cooked a little softer since the broccoli was still quite hard. The pork Lau Lau and Kalua pork were both flavorful and tender. Last but not least, my daughters really enjoyed the macadamia nut pancakes. It's definitely their favorite item every time!

They are Soooo generous with their servings here, totally worth the value. Highly highly recommend bringing someone along with you to split an order. They are just that massive! I got myself a matcha latte with vanilla matcha swirl ice cream. Had to ask for an extra cup because I couldn't handle the mountain of ice cream on top. My matcha latte was perfection!!! Not overly sweet, great matcha flavors, and the ice cream on top melting into the drinks adds so much more creaminess to the drink! Can't wait to try more items!!! The doors are kinda heavy, and you have to really pull/push to open it lol

I shared it with my mom and we were so full. Honestly this is good for 3 people. The matcha here is extremely authentic - one of the best in SoCal. 5/5! I want to try out everything!!!!!

We never had the chance to visit it when we were in Chinatown, but this location is much more convenient for us. I know my wife and son also like Pork Katsu. I wanted to try the Honey Walnut Shrimp Sando. It was good, with a very distinct sweet flavor. My wife and son didn't care for it, but I enjoyed it. My wife saw some people with katsu plates and ordered the Pork Katsu Plate, and my son got the Chicken Katsu Sando. In our opinion, the Pork Katsu was the best. The white bread for the sando complemented the katsu so well. Next time, I'd like to order the Pork Katsu Plate. We would definitely come back here again! It's a bit pricey, but it was worth every penny.

So when, a few minutes later, I came upon Nobuko's truck at Smorgasburg, I had to give it a try, to relive some of those memories. One thing I loved about Nobuko from the beginning: It has so many options for shaved ice, based on different parts of the world. American, French, Mexican, Japanese, Irish and the aforementioned Hawaiian -- who knew there were so many shaved ice varieties. I kind of want to try them all now. But I went with what first attracted me to them and got the Piña Colada shaved ice from the Hawaiian menu, which is made with pineapple, coconut, a pineapple/vanilla soft serve swirl and sweet cream. I loved loved loved that this had soft serve under the ice, one of my favorite parts from what I had enjoyed in Hawaii. This was such a sweet treat and hit all the notes I wanted, making me feel nostalgic. I'm so intrigued to try other shaved ice varieties now. If I come across them again in L.A., I'll definitely order again.
