Great spot to grab dessert with friends after dinner! We called in advance to ask if they had space for 7 people and told them we were about 20 min away. They responded with "we'll move some tables around for you guys". How nice! My friends all got a variety of things -- the flavoured shaved ice was SO GOOD (especially the mango) and you can choose your own toppings. I ordered the chendo icy, which is a drink that has green rice flour jelly and coconut milk -- one of my favourite desserts! The prices are extremely reasonable and the portions are HUGE so I would recommend sharing!
Our friend wanted some tau foo fah after dinner so we headed over to Icy Bar. It's been a few years since my last visit here. They have two other locations (Richmond and Kensington-Cedar). We dropped in on a Sunday evening (around 9:00pm). The place was reasonably busy and they were playing Home Alone 3 up on the TV. Service is non-existent and water is self serve at the counter. The menu is massive with shaved ice, fresh tofu pudding, pancakes, hot sweet soup, crepe cake, plant pudding, honey & thick toast and drinks. Essentially, all about the Asian desserts. - Fresh tofu pudding with two items (E1) ($6.00) - M got this with mochi and pearls and asked for ginger sauce. I had a bite; it's plain and ginger is very, very subtle. - Fresh plain tofu ($5.00) - Iv got his plain. - Milk tea with grass jelly ($4.75) - this was weak for a milk tea. We asked for 50% ice and 50% sugar but the flavour was bland and watered down. Grass jelly and pearls were decent. - Green tea crepe cake ($8.00) - basically an Asian style mille-feuille. Green tea flavour was good (again subtle) but paired well with the red bean. Overall, decent but prices have increased and quality doesn't seem to be the same as before.
I had the wheat milk tea to go. It was not the best I had. It seemed to be missing something. I saw copious amount of powdered milk being poured into the container, and that was probably typically of many bubble milk tea places, but somehow that was a bit disconcerting to me. I guessed it never really crossed my mind there was no real milk in it. I saw other people ordered mostly the shaved ice desserts.
I've been to this Icy Bar location many times pre-COVID but now I'm finally review. My friend and I went in to get a nice snack to share since it was hot out and they had dine in open. At first we weren't sure if they had dine in because some chairs were stacked on the table but they were open. They had their paper menu taped up on the walls and now you have to go up the counter to pay and order. My friend and I got the Four Mixed Icy to share and we chose Coconut Jelly, Green Tea Mochi, Pearls, Fresh Mango and we added an additional topping for $1.50 which was Lychee. It came out very quickly, about 10 minutes after we ordered and instead of their usual ceramic bowl they put it in they put our order in a paper takeout bowl and a tray and the condense milk now comes into a small container instead of a bottle for you to squeeze, we had to ask for seconds. The shaved ice was so good and refreshing, it paired so well with the coconut jelly, the juice from the jelly made it extra sweet. The pearls were really good here as well, not too hard or chewy just right. The Green Tea mochi was AMAZING, probably the best mochi I've had with shaved ice, so chewy and the matcha flavour isnt too strong which I enjoyed. The mangos were ripe and sweet and the lychee was nice too. Overall, it was really good - however, I'm bumping it down a star because it was hard to eat in the paper bowl and we had to ask for side bowls to eat out of.
We came here after dinner (group of 5) and did not have to wait for seats. The most difficult thing was choosing what I want. The have a variety of desserts and drinks to choose from and customizable as well! As I preferred something hot instead of cold that day, I was happy to see a list of hot soup sweet desserts. I ended up choosing something on a different page - hot tofu, which came with 4 different toppings: red bean, peanuts, 2 different types of mochi. Wow! When it came, it was a very generous portion for one. It was tasty and on point. I wouldn't have done anything different. I definitely want to come back here for shaved ice as they are huge and comes with a bottle of condensed milk so you can control how much you want! They also have so many toppings, some I have never heard of from typical bubble tea shops. As compared to other shaved ice and Chinese desserts places in the area, I thought Icy Bar had really reasonable prices. I recommend the house special tofu (hot or cold) or customize your own shaved ice with your favourite toppings!
A shaved ice dessert establishment that is always quite busy and bustling with young people. I would recommend coming with 2 to 4 people to share items. Wifi is provided. [Items Tried] Mango Crepe Cake - $8 (3/5) Taste: The provide one type of crepe cake every day - different types on different days. Not too many layers so it was not that fluffy. There were also large chunks of mango in the cake - I prefer when the layers are thinner as it prevents the cake from falling apart so easily. However, some people may prefer the larger chunks of fresh fruit. Not overly sweet. Size: Good for one person. Mango with Coconut Milk - $8 (4/5) Taste: A cold refreshing dessert with creepy eye seeds, as I like to call them (ie. basil seeds). Hard to mess this dessert up, the fruit is relatively fresh and the proportions of liquid to solids in the dessert are just right. Size: Good for one person. [Value for Money] A very standard dessert place that lacks a wow factor - standard quality at standard prices. However, if you are craving asian dessert and want more variety, this is the place to go as they offer everything from drinks, cakes, shaved ice, and tofu desserts. Overall, if you've never been to icy bar I'd recommend going just to see what iconic asian desserts are all about - but you can find individual items for better quality at other places.
I think this place is a bit over rated. Had the Durian Milkshake and it was good. But when you get to the end its too much. This is the only place I have seen it where they have the Durian Milkshake. Also ordered the Mango sticky rice and at first I didn't want to order this. I wanted the mochii balls look alike and because we don't know whats it call we thought the words beside the picture is exactly what's it called. :-( Hint: Next time ask what it is before ordering. Really need to redo its menu. I think their fruit ice must be popular here. Seems like everyone is ordering it.
Was craving something sweet without venturing too far away from home, so we decided to check out Icy Bar. I had looked at their menu online beforehand, but was happy to see that their actual menu is a lot more extensive. We ordered the pick 8 shaved ice, Mango Pancakes, mango pomelo tofu dessert, and the almond jelly grass jelly milk. Pretty generous portion sizes. Taste is pretty average; I wasn't overly impressed, but it'll do when the sweet tooth has a craving. Best tasting purchase was probably the mango pancake, which actually contained a pretty generous amount of mango. Our total bill was over $30 including tip, which was pretty good, seeing as how I left Icy bar so uncomfortably full that I felt like I was going to vomit. The service was less than stellar; we were kindly given two flimsy napkins for our purchase, and it wasn't until we were almost done that someone offered my husband a glass of water. I liked how they give you a bottle of condensed milk that you can add as much to your shaved ice as you like.
This place is usually pretty packed and constantly smells like durian. They give a generous amount of toppings but sometimes these toppings aren't that tasty... for instance, the strawberries or watermelon slices. The service is mediocre; the staff seem tired and don't wanna be there, but then again this place does open till pretty late.
There were 6 of us visiting Icy Bar around 10:45 PM. We had to wait probably around 20 minutes before they could put together a couple tables for us. I didn't expect the shop to be this busy, especially this late at night. I ordered a hot tapioca taro with coconut milk ($5.75), while my friends ordered some toasts and cup icy(s). To be very honest, I didn't like my dessert at all. I thought it was poorly made. It was way too watey and watered down that I couldn't taste any of the coconut milk. I didn't know what I was eating. There were very few pieces of taro. There were some sort of white residue on the surface of the dessert and around the bowl, which kind of turned me off. I would probably stick to their shaved ice. As a result I didn't think it was worth six bucks, I would rather pay a little more for a dessert that is of better quality. I didn't expect much service, especially at a Chinese dessert place. They just take your order and serve the dessert when ready. Nothing more than that. There is a water station on the counter.
Decent place for dessert. This time it didn't smell like durian walking in. The guy kindly asked another couple to move so the three of us could sit at their table without having to wait. I actually didn't want anything cold to eat/drink, so glad I saw their hot grass jelly dessert on the menu. Thought they gave me the wrong dessert because I didn't see any grass jelly in it, but silly me, it's hot, so it's in a melted consistency, haha. It was a good hearty, warm dessert; check out the photo with all the good stuff in it (beans, ?mochi). My friends enjoyed their grass jelly milk drink, and mango tapioca dessert. Would come back for their other desserts, couldn't resist eyeing all of them as they went by our table. Free street parking if you can find a spot.
A group of us came here after dinner for dessert. The wait for a table was about 5-10 minutes but the wait for the dessert took nearly AN HOUR. We ordered a large shaved ice with 8 toppings and mango cup drink. The shaved ice dessert itself was pretty good. Portions were huge! Definitely satisfied my sweet tooth! Other than having to wait for an hour for our dessert to come out, everything else was fine!
Like seriously, just take my money. So much yummy! I'm not sure how you give a dessert place anything less than 3 stars in general though- if they got dessert and it's sweet and delicious it kind of makes it's own good review. 4 stars for a standard dessert that is actually not common enough in Vancouver. Get the 4 flavour icy with a mix of mochi, poppers and fresh fruit. Top with ice cream. And it's like you have a dinner substitute. Good for 2 people. Or 4 people if you want just a taste. the menus says min purchase of like 3.50 per person. That's how you should judge the size/portion of this thing- you should spend 3.50-5$ per person for a filling dessert for everyone.

Pretty decent tofu pudding and mango sago. Wish the mango sago had more mango puree in the base and sweeter mangos but overall decent for the price. Tofu pudding came with a tasty ginger syrup! read more
on a hot thursday evening at 25 degrees celsius, we went to icy bar on kingsway and boundary for a light dessert. our friend called ahead and managed to get a reservation. we had no problems getting street parking either. the place was lively and the menu was extensive. after much careful deliberation, my partner and i decided to share a medium shaved ice with four toppings: strawberries, watermelon, mango mochi, and lychee popping pearls, served with condensed milk on the side. the shaved ice consistency isn't as fine and light as at other places, but our dessert, topped with fresh fruits and lychee popping pearls, was refreshing and sweet, perfect for the summer weather. we appreciated the self-serve water station and the colourful, appetizing icy treat. read more

2.5 stars for Sesame rice ball with ginger soup. The sesame ball is very sweet and has a lot of sugar. I don't get much aroma of black sesame. The ginger soup also too sweet for my liking and I wished they put more ginger in the soup. It is too weak. read more

The dessert is good. But I've been waiting for my icy bowl for 40 minutes so far... Which is unheard of in a Asian dessert place like this. Not to mention we couldn't get someone to take our order for the life of me. Instead the waitress was just cleaning all the tables around her while no one was waiting for a seat. But... At the same time, I guess no one really cares. And I don't expect them to. Grumpy. read more
EHHH... Let me explain... My aunt and I came and ordered the Mango Ice Cream Icy and the Mango Tapioca Cold Dessert. Maybe it's because it wasn't Viet style with the coconut milk but I did not enjoy my red bean. It was so bland. JUST DID NOT CARE FOR IT. My aunt ordered her usual and looked like she would have licked the bowl if she could LOL. I'm thinking maybe I need to try other things here but icy bar never has anything I crave. Parking can also be a hassle in front as well. I honestly feel you can probably go elsewhere for better dessert. read more
As close as you're gonna get locally to Honeymoon Dessert in Asia. Anyone who's travelled around Asia knows what I'm talking about. It's not the same, but it does the trick. Go early after dinner as this place fills up fast. Here is my usual rotation: Mango mochi ice cream shaved ice - however mochi is not the best quality Mixed fruit sago - lychee, mango, strawberry, and I forget. Refreshing and light Mango pomelo sago icy up - This one is reliable Staff is always friendly and efficient, though the girls output better quality. read more

Icy Bar is a new addition to the Collingwood area, and it's definitely welcome! Opens at 3pm, and the places comes with free WIFI, a nice TV (currently showing World Cup), a nice clean and welcoming interior, and a good assortment of, you guessed it, icy desserts. They also have some warm soup desserts, but shaved ice is their bread and butter. I've been on the hunt for Chinese desserts for a while now, so I was pretty excited to see this place pop up. They're already well-known at the Richmond Night Market, so I was craving the mango sago and shredded pomelo shaved ice drink an hour before we even got here. I came with a large group (8 people), and since it was still early in the day they had no issues getting us set up and getting our orders in. I knocked off a star because I ordered a strawberry chocolate pancake, and long after everyone else's food had arrived and they were close to finishing, the server came back to me and said they didn't have any. Seriously, it took over 20 minutes for them to let me know. Grr! It's a good thing their mango drink was fantastic. Other bonuses: they've got a pretty extensive menu: you can pick 4 or 6 of an assortment of Chinese dessert staples on a bed of shaved ice, or you can order one of their more popular items (mango ice cream shaved ice, red bean, etc.). They've also got the classic hot soups (almond, tofu, sesame), and an exciting selection of Durian desserts (which I didn't get to try). I'll definitely be coming back a few more times to try a few more things off the menu, so I hope they stick around a while! Prices range from $5 to $9 depending on what you order, so it's all fairly inexpensive for some desserts. Credit cards accepted. The place seats about 30 people. You can get here via the 19 bus, otherwise it's a bit of a walk from Joyce Station. read more
We came in on a Saturday around 6:30pm and there was only 2 tables occupied, so Yay for no wait time. We ordered: Mix 4 item Shaved Ice - red bean, green bean, almond jelly and coconut jelly. All for $5 And a Mango Slush - dh's favorite. $4.25 The shaved ice is not as soft and fluffy as other places I tried, the texture is a little bit grainier. The toppings were excellent and I like that they leave the condensed milk out so can control your own sweetness factor. The Mango Slush tasted more like a mango purée, not what we expected at all, the texture is smooth like a milkshake. It was ice cold and fill with essence of fresh mangoes purée. All in all, not a bad place for dessert. Price is reasonable. They have changed the time to open from 4pm instead of 3pm. Street parking only. read more

Okay, so we came to Icy Bar after an early dinner for something cold and sweet. It wasn't busy so we were able to find a table right away. We ordered the fresh mango ice cream icy and created our own shaved ice with red bean, black pearls and green tea ice cream. The two shaved ice bowls were massive, that's it. They both tasted mediocre. The ice is too chunky here and tastes very low grade, like snow cone level. Not much could be said about the service and the price is not worth the quality. We won't be coming back. read more
Durian pancake. As expected, the durian smell filled this place. If you're a fan, you'll be in heaven. The cream was on the heavy side, but hey, what do guilty pleasure taste like. Saturday nights are packed! But the waiters had a great attitude. Just super busy. Sunday nights, however, you will find empty tables beside you. Tried the pamelo mango pudding. Lets just say it was sorta blend. One wasn't sweet enough for the other. The two didn't strike me as a killer combination. Next time I'll opt for a slush or those toast cubes. Lemon water by the cashier, and boy, they have got the right amount of the juice in there. Well done. Free too. read more
Yummy dessert for a reasonable price. 8 toppings for $8( $8.4 including tax) and it was really good. Portion was big enough to share for a 2 people. We ordered 8 toppings like grass jelly, taro, red bean, mung bean, mango, lychee, strawberries and grass jelly. I'd totally come back here again. read more
Great selection of choices and places to sit, well it's a little cramped. Good serving of fruits and other toppings and most are all on ice and condensed milk. Staff are nice enough. Check it out for extremely fair pricing on this very particular type of dessert that ranges from $5 onwards! Go for: shaved ice and other sweet desserts Don't go for: ambience, decor, large comfortable seating read more

I'm kinda glad one of my favorite Boba shops was closed because it made me decide to try this place out. It is one of the few places open past midnight, which is great if your happen to get hit with late-night cravings. Anyways, the menu is expansive, and I opted for a shave ice with mango and strawberry... I was told that it would be mango and strawberry puree, but was very happy that fresh fruit accompanied the dish. The mango was perfectly sweet and the strawberries were not too sweet, but I didn't mind that cuz the rest of the dish had plenty of sugar to make up for it. I added some mochi to help curb my Boba craving, and it was perfect.. Being topped off with some Vanilla ice cream made it even better!... Yum! You had four different choices of ice cream, but the vanilla really went well with this dessert and a small was more than enough to feed two people. I already look forward to getting this again. read more
Wanted to try this place after trying Icepik. They are quite different. The shaved ice here is more like snow cone ice. Still tasty. The portions are huge. Almost scary. We ordered the mango pancake which was good but not cheap. The outside is like a crepe wrapped with mango and whipping cream. Two pancakes for $7. The mango shaved ice was massive. We shared it amongst the three of us. It was $10. Lots of fresh mango, mango Mochi and a scoop of ice cream. read more

This is one of the dessert places I always make sure to stop and have my durian tapioca cold dessert whenever I am visiting Vancouver. The desserts are always consistent and they are always jam pack. Can't wait for my next visit read more

Came by on a Sunday night craving desserts. We opted for the large shaved ice with 8 ingredients for $12. We choose mango, original mochi, taro mochi, pearls, grass jelly, mixed jelly, barley and red bean. The dish came shortly after with a bottle of condensed milk. Absolutely love the add your own condensed milk option!!! It was perfect to split between 3 people. The mochi was above average, and the rest of the toppings were decent. I personally thought the shaved ice could have been smoother and finer. Anywho, throughly enjoyed it and would come back to share a quick bite to satisfy my sweet cravings. read more
Finally this place comes off of my list of bookmarks. The only reason I bookmarked Icy Bar is because when I see pictures of Mochi and especially FAT CHUNKS of it I MUST EAT IT! It's a typical Asian dessert spot with the music being extremely loud and full of unnecessary bass lol but it's very clean and bright. The menu is interesting with shaved ice combinations, bubble teas, hot dessert soups and mango pancakes among other things. I've never actually had shaved ice outside of the Hawaiian style so I was extremely interested in seeing what this would be like. Looking at other tables the shaved ice was HUGE and it was so confusing how each person had a whole one to themselves...I mean how the f**k!? My gf and I shared a shaved ice with 4 toppings plus a scoop of green tea ice cream. There are a lot of toppings you can choose from like : Mochi, popping pearls, tapioca, and various fresh fruits which is nice. The best thing about this place is that when you order a shaved ice you get a bottle of condensed milk to use as much or as little as your heart desires. The ice itself isn't flavored so it's completely tasteless unless you douse it in the condensed milk but the toppings are quite delicious. The prices are pretty reasonable for what you get as well but all in all the flavorless ice doesn't really go with the toppings very well unless you're continually squeezing condensed milk on your spoon which gets quite annoying. I think it's worth trying once but I wouldn't go out of my way to check it out. read more
I love my shaved ice and got to finally try Icy Bar! They have flavoured shaved ice which is very hard to find. I got the Taro flavour. You can add a variety of toppings from fruit, icecream and different jelly which I love and they give you your own bottle of condensed milk to add as you please ;) this place gets busy lots of people order take out! Worth the wait for a hot summer day treat! read more
SwweeeeT!!! Lets just start by saying I love sweets, and I'm a sugaraholic and not ashamed of it. I've had Icy bar in my bookmarks for some time now. I've avoided this place because parking in the area is a little difficult, but you can sometimes get lucky with street parking. On this visit I was with 2 other girlfriends who are always up for what I recommend. Having 3 hungry ladies at this place could be trouble. We wanted to sample a little bit of everything, So we started with and Icy with mango and taro mochi and red bean. It came in a tall glass yummy it did not disappoint. Mango coconut milk and sticky rice, one of my fave (warning the description did not say it came with peanuts, and when it arrived at our table it came with it) unfortunately we had to return it one of my girlfriend is extremely allergic. They were very understanding and replaced it. It was good the mangoes are so ripe and delicious, the sticky rice could have been a little more sweet in my own option. Mango crepe was ok. Thin yellow crepe wrapped around whipped cream and fresh mango. The original thick toast is one of my favorite childhood treats, this place knows how to make it extra buttery and they give you your own bottle of condense milk squeeze bottle (YASS) I can put condense milk in pretty much any dessert. We also ordered a tiramisu, it wasn't my favorite in the list of things we ordered but it did come in a cute little mason jar. Overall it was a good experience and we left in a sugar coma. read more
We stopped by on a Saturday night to try their durian pancake, but sadly they ran out. So we ordered the mango pancake, which I highly recommend. I think it's mango season, because it was filled with sweet mangoes and a light whipped cream that was perfect! We also shared a huge shaved ice with tons of toppings. They give you a bottle of condense milk to add however much you want. I've had better shaved ice, but do try the pancakes. read more
