    S4. Fresh Fruit Shaved Ice(Pick 5 Toppings) with vanilla ice cream
    Julie H.

    fruit was sweet , ice cream was good too. Very busy but there is seating. Clean environment , service was quick.

    S7. Mixed Fruit Shaved Ice With Flan
    Chloe L.

    Not as bustling as some other dessert spots in the area but will be a new go-to for me. Shared a medium shaved ice among 3-4 people and it was perfect and very affordable ($16 for medium). Shaved ice has an ice base (not milk) but it suited the fruits and condensed milk so well. Every bite was very refreshing with the fruits. Flan is on the denser side and not too sweet at all. Pretty quick service, pick up and buss your trays vibe. Definitely want to come back to try some of their other menu items too!

    S9. Mixed Fruit Shaved Ice With Flan And Coconut Pudding
    Aishah M.

    Juicy box is DELICIOUS!!! And if you don't like it get some taste. Haha I had been a few years back and had totally forgotten about it (idk how). But then I saw their videos resurface all over TikTok. So I went and it altered my brain chemistry all over again hehe. So amazing but man the line was stressful. Y'all gotta stop crowding these places hehe but I'm happy they're getting the recognition they deserve. I went and got the mixed fruit shaved ice. It's a bit pricey but delicious. It's 17$ for one bowl but comes with shaved ice, mixed fruit and topped with strawberry ice cream, coconut pudding, flan and drizzled in condensed milk. Delicious! The shaved ice is creamy - melts in your mouth. It's absolutely perfect. Also the ice has taste. I saw another review where they said it's just bland ice. Umm no it's not? It's literally shaved ice mixed in with condensed milk? Some people have no tastebuds lol. You order at a kiosk and they call your number when ready. Pretty fast service. The inside is sort of tight and narrow but when it's not packed you can manage to get a table. I would highly recommend. It's so good!!!

    I've always loved Juicy Box, it's my go-to spot for shaved ice after a savory meal. The mango shaved ice is my favorite: always sweet and perfectly ripe, even when it's not mango season. The combo of shaved ice, condensed milk, fresh mangoes, strawberries, and ice cream is unbeatable. 10/10. Since it was cold out today, I tried the ginger tofu dessert for the first time. I usually add honey or sugar when I get tofu dessert elsewhere, but this one didn't need anything extra. Perfectly balanced and so comforting. 10/10.

    I love the shaved ice here ! Comes with plenty of fruit, delicious strawberry ice cream, and tasty flan. The ice is smothered in condensed milk too. It's all just divine. I added mochi to this one as an add on per a friends request. I was able to share this bowl with 3 other friends. You order at the cashier, and they will call out your number when your order is ready. Really low key chill place. I've been here multiple times and always enjoy my dessert

    I checked this place out for the first time today, and the menu variety is honestly impressive. They have everything from traditional shaved ice and fresh fruit smoothies to sago and hot desserts. I ended up getting the mango sago drink. The fruit was actually fresh and ripe, which isn't always the case at these types of spots. I also got the hot almond soup with mochi balls (sesame inside). The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is the state of the dining area. Even though it wasn't super packed when I went, almost every available table was dirty/sticky. I had to go find some napkins and wipe down my own spot just to sit comfortably

    We ordered the mixed fruit shaved ice with flan to share among 4 people, and it was more than enough to satisfy everyone. Each of us also happened to prefer a different fruit topping, which made the sharing more harmonious. The shaved ice has a traditional ice base, so every bite was incredibly refreshing without feeling heavy. Cheap, no-frills vibe. Will definitely be back!

    Kept seeing ads abt the mango sago at juice box online and finally caved in. They require you to pay a minimum amount if you want to pay by card on the kiosk. The wait was not long at all. The mango sago is basically a really heavy mango smoothie with coconut and sago in it. I was not really a fan of the mango. It tasted too dense and heavy and did not really match up with the sago. I think if you want a mango coconut smoothie you're better off just going to heytea. Their mango drink is actually cheaper too... It seems that the shaved ice is the move if you ever come here

    visited houston for the first time and i definitely wanted to try this taiwanese owned dessert staple in chinatown!! we ordered their mixed fruit with strawberry ice cream and flan and switched out the watermelon for mango. pretty much everything here is customizable and they have a lot of different menu options, it's not just a shaved ice place. there's a pretty decent amount of seating, but i can see it being hard to find one if it's busy because it's still kind of a small space. everything was very clean though. all of the fruits tasted very fresh and the ice cream was sooooo good. great quality, it's not the cheap artificial strawberry. the condensed milk is a good addition as well. it. makes sense why they're always busy. if i lived here i would go here so often!!!

    So refreshing! Juicy box is friendly, fresh, and tasty Taiwanese dessert shop. The menu ranges from icecream to flan to snow! We ordered the flan and strawberry x mango snow. Soo yummy.

    I've been a loyal patron of Juicy Box for years, and their desserts never disappoint! The store is ran by a lovely couple who are super friendly. The flan is always smooth, rich, and silky, just absolutely perfect every time in convenient individual cups. I also love their black sesame soup with tofu, and when I'm in the mood, I add lotus seeds for an extra touch. Their smoothies are refreshing, with the blueberry strawberry slushy being a personal favorite! Just the right balance of sweetness without being overwhelming. Their hot mochi with peanut and black sesame seeds is also good. They are soft, qq, and made to order just like all their other desserts. I do miss their milk tea-flavored shaved ice, but this remains my go-to spot for delicious desserts!

    This dessert store had lots of familiar and new flavors. We ordered and paid for the caramel ice jelly with fruits, but then told it ran out. So then we ordered the herb jelly coconut milk sago as a replacement but they didn't refund the extra cost we paid. We also ordered the durian coconut milk sage with durian ice cream. I'm glad I was able to fine a dessert store that has durian ice cream made with real durian. Since it wasn't in season, the small pieces of durian in the ice cream wasn't as sweet. However overall, but the desserts were a good sweetness.

    With the small, the flan is separate. Whenever I made room, I was able to add the flan in. It's so good!

    I saw a video on Instagram and decided to try this place out. Upon arriving, the parking situation was a little tricky. I waited awhile before going in. I didn't see anyone going inside so I questioned if it was open. Lately, Google establishments been having incorrect store hours so I wasn't sure if it was actually open. I called and a friendly lady answered the phone, she answered all questions I had about the pricing. Once I saw someone go in and come out, I knew they were open. I was greeted with smiling faces which made me feel welcome. These ladies were very nice! I went around 1pm, despite multiple cars in the parking lot. There was hardly anyone on the inside which made it a better experience for me. I really enjoyed the Taiwanese dessert. I got the small over the medium, even though the small looked bigger than the medium (I'll check the dimensions next time I return). The flan was light, not overly sweet, and tasty. I got 1 scoop of mango ice cream with 1 fruit watermelon. I absolutely loved how the coldness made the watermelon like a icey consistency. The condense milk was a nice balance of shaved ice and sweetness. I definitely will be returning as I want to enjoy the medium over the small, the mango slushy, and smoothie. I remember coming to Nu Ice years ago for Lou UYE, but I don't remember Juicy Box being by Nu Ice. This is a nice and cool place to unwind and relax.

We were about to buy something when the lady told us not to get it because it wasn't good and they were planning to return it. She even had her staff take it off the shelf right away so no one else would pick it up. That kind of transparency is rare and we really appreciated it. The drinks took a while to come out but they make everything fresh so it was worth the wait. While we waited we checked out their crane machines and played a round. Mama Mia Special (L $9.75): Wow, this was a huge cup packed with fruit. I loved the coconut meat, jelly, and strawberry. The mango bits were not quite ripe so they were a bit sour but everything else made up for it. Matcha Mia (L $8): Yum, delicious and easy to drink. I actually liked this one more than the special since it combines sugarcane and coconut juice and just works really well together. Multi Flavor Waffle ($5.75): Comes with three flavors, pandan, durian, and taro. It was so good. I loved the pandan the most. I am not usually a fan of durian but I tried it and you can really taste it in there. The taro was the most subtle but still really good.

    Delicious, fast, friendly service! The sugarcane juice (also flavored with a large variety of…read morecombinations) is made fresh to order and freshly pressed. Very refreshing for the summer and I pretty much downed my cup as soon as I got it Besides drinks, they also make pandan waffles. There smell is alluring and you'll be tempted as soon as you walk in. Most restaurants in this plaza are don't have an outdoors sitting arrangement and mainly focus on indoors setup.

Portions are large/filling and we felt the food was delicious and a good value for money. When we arrived the line was long and menus were not available so we had to search for the menu on the website to avoid deciding at the counter and holding up the people behind us. After ordering, tables were cleaned consistently and service was friendly. Only feedback about seating was outside parties would take chairs from other tables and leave them with no seating and not all tables we're shaded. The drinks being available at the bar when it is busy and then food being delivered to the table was a bit clunky. I picked up water and utensils for our party before sitting and would have preferred to have to pick everything up at the counter or have everything brought to the table to avoid multiple trips around when the restaurant is busy.

Its a very casual, cafeteria-esque restaurant with a pretty extensive menu. The owner was really nice but I think assumed I could speak Mandarin/Taiwanese but sadly I'm just a Canto boy. Anyways, we ordered with him and he gave us a number and explained the process in Taiwanese but we figured it out. Grab the items you need, get water if you want, sit at an open table and wait. I ended up trying the oyster pancake and the leek, pork intestine, and blood claypot. Both were great and really hit the spot for me (pro tip, their chili oil is great and adds another great layer of flavor). The oyster pancake had quite a bit of oysters and they were nice and plump. For those willing to try offal meats, the pork intestine and pork blood was amazing, flavors exactly what I wanted and cooked very well, nothing was chewy or over/undercooked. Prices and portions were also great and I was able to have my meal for 3 different days, and the third day I just overate. Overall, I'm glad to have found this spot and recommend it for anyone wanting Taiwanese food or to try something different. They have a lot of options and a really great deal for the more buffet/cafeteria style plates. Def can't wait to come back and get some more food!
