    Mr. Universal
    Steven N.

    What can I say about this place except that it's absolutely delicious. I had the Mr. Universal and the yellow peach. The Mr. Universal was delicious. The caramel and oatmeal combination is bursting with flavor and I can see why it's their most popular flavor. But... the yellow peach.... Just wow. Definitely love the creamy peachy flavor. It was so good I actually ended up getting the pint as well. Definitely a delicious way to get your ice cream!

    All these years I've been coming here, I'm surprised I haven't done a review! My family loves Kansha. Literally can't go wrong with any of their flavors but my go to is the Mr. Universal with red bean and mochi *chef's kiss*!! They sell scoops and pints but no taste testing. Again, can't go wrong with their flavors. Matcha is good as well as their homely pokey and malted cookies and cream. Their flavors change but they have their staples, just have to check their website for the flavors of the week. It's a small creamery with bar seat and a couple low table seating. Owners are super friendly and parking shouldn't be an issue. Price is pretty reasonable as well.

    I've been a fan of Kansha for years. Not only are their ice cream flavors good, but their owners are super kind and support charity with their sales! Top three flavors (rotate & seasonal): Muscat grape green tea Miso cranberry Hokkaido Milk strawberry!

    Such a cute little shop for freshly made ice cream. Been eyeing this place since it's closed by work and finally got to try them out. Love that they rotate their flavors and that their ice cream is freshly made. Definitely check them out when you're in Torrance. Staff was friendly and courteous while their service was fast. Line can get long but since their staffs hustle, wait time is not overly dramatic. You can also buy their ice cream in pints for to-gos. It is small inside with linited seatings and parking can be tight, it is a small complex shared with other businesses so definitely cannot accommodate too many occupants all at once, so plan accordingly! Staff: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Price: 4/5 Parking: 4/5

    After a decade since my last review, Kansha Creamery is still one of my favorite ice cream shops in Southern California. Here are few key points: * Each year, the shop closes for the entire month of January for its annual winter break and the shop also occasionally closes on random dates, so check their Instagram page to make sure the shop is open on the day of your visit. * No samples! * $0.75 of every ice cream sold is donated to Community Loving (mutual aid organization that serves unhoused & low-income families & youth in the South Bay with the essential resources they need & deserve). * Each year, Kansha Creamery hosts a kids' flavor contest and turns those flavors into reality & ultimately features on Kansha's menu. * Their ice cream is made with Straus Family Creamery products. * Their pints are made without the use of gums or preservatives which causes them to freeze harder than store-bought ice cream, so place those pints in the fridge for 10-30 minutes before indulging. * Some flavors like black sesame are seasonal, but popular flavors like Mr. Universal and Matcha (both excellent) are available year-round. Two big thumbs up for their ice cream.

    Pistachio with mochi & red beans
    Lynne T.

    I've been wanting to try this place for a while and I'm so glad that I did! There was a line out of the door when we came, but it does move by quick. I got the pistachio ice cream with mochi balls and red beans, which were not too sweet at all. The pistachio ice cream was really fresh and natural. It's not like the artificial pistachio flavor and it had whole pistachios in there for crunch. Loved it.

    James Tatsuya and Elaine Yukari's "Kansha Creamery" is handmade with love and their ingredients coming from local, organic farmers whenever possible. Why Kansha? - Handcrafted premium ice cream - They are always donating and giving back - Unique rotating flavors FOOD 4/5 Solid ice cream and every time I'm back it's always busy. PARKING 4/5 Easy parking in the shopping complex SERVICE 4/5 Fast and effective, no issues

    Gardena has so many great food and dessert spots that a lot of people tend to over look. Kansha is an amazing Japanese ice cream shop that has all natural ice cream. Their Aoi Matcha and Early Grey ice cream are my favorite scoops to get. They always have rotating flavors to keep things exciting!

    Lavandee an d  Ube
    Jerry K.

    Dessert-(lavender and ube) complimentary flavors with reserved sweetness that is just the right amount of pzazz and addictiveness that keeps drawing you back for more. The waffle cones does a greatt balance of crunch and creaminess that lures your tongue back for more. Gone faster than I like, but will keep me coming back for more. Cleanliness- well maintained Seating limited to a few seats Restroom - none that im aware of. Parking decent, but can be crowded at peak hours. Ambiance - simple and to the point ( nice painting)

    I really had high hopes for this place. Heard great things about it from family. Read that they have Asian inspired ice cream flavors and toppings. Saw a line out the door when I recently visited the establishment. I really thought this was going to be an easy five star review. The folks who work here were incredibly efficient and didn't provide samples (this is actually a good thing since it holds up the line). The line moved faster than a checkout register at Trader Joe's. But then I tasted their Matcha Parfait (which in concept should have tasted amazing) and my heart sank. There wasn't anything particularly great about it except the vanilla ice cream at the very bottom of the cup. The matcha ice cream, mochi balls, and red bean topping were okay. The corn flakes added a distinctive crunch and different texture to the parfait, but I could have done without them. The wife had the Hokey Pokey which is supposed to be honeycomb and toffee flavored. She tossed it after taking a few bites noting that it tasted neither like honeycomb or toffee. Tasted like coffee to her, which she dislikes. This is a very popular shop so maybe it's just a matter of personal preference. For me, it just didn't hit the spot.

    Strawberry Milk and Matcha Ice Cream
    Amanda L.

    Kansha Creamery is open during work hours for me, so I don't have many opportunities to try it, but was able to do so this past week, due to the long weekend! The employees are always so kind and friendly. The interior is very homey vibes with table and bar seating to quickly enjoy your scoops! I've always been a fan of their Matcha ice cream, and opted to try the Strawberry Milk this time, which paired very well with the earthiness of the matcha. Ice cream texture is very creamy and chewy, which I appreciate in a scooped ice cream! Can't wait til the next time I can get another scoop!

    Mr Universe and Matcha
    Espy R.

    Just learned about this delicious ice cream spot in the SouthBay. I'm mad I didn't know about it earlier. I tried the Matcha and Mr Universe flavors and it was the best! The kiddos had the chocolate chip and cookies and cream. They loved it! We will for sure be back. Service was great and loved that they had board games available to play while we ate ice cream. We will for sure be back!

    Went for an after lunch dessert - wasn't too busy at the time thankfully, it can get that way. Had a scoop of the ooey gooey greatness - wasn't too busy pretty good with giant chocolate chips if you're into texture. Grabbed a pint of Mr. universal as well - ate a bit of that when I got home - that flavor is always a good time with a good texture as well. Would def recommend!

    Are they ever open?

    They are always closed on Wed & Sun.

    What's gluten free here?

    This place is a strictly Ice-creamer so there are no gluten except those with cookies or something like that, they usually carry less than 10 different flavors but so original and not too heavy or too sweet. Try their Matcha flavored it's so close… 

    Is the mont blanc no longer available?

    Yes, I believe it's seasonal, and it ended in January. It will probably come back once winter starts.

I think, great since my elderly Dad is diabetic and shouldn't have a lot of ice cream, so I went with that but in a waffle cone, she said that would be $3.50. I said that's fine, I will have one in flavor A and the other one in flavor B, total came to $7.35 And I asked her to put the ice cream cone in a cup, so it would be easier for him to eat in the car as it was extremely hot that day, and I don't want it to drip all over the car. When she gave me the ice cream, it was both flavor in one cone. I told her I wanted 2 separate cone instead of all in one. And then she said it would be another $7, I was in a hurry, so didn't really put too much thoughts into it, and just charge it. So now I look at my charges, so it turns out the same serving, one is at $7.35 and the other is $7. When I get the ice cream, I asked her, so there nothing that is smaller than this. She said there is, but not in a waffle cone, it will be extra with a waffle cone. So I asked $2.50 in a regular cone and additional $3.50 for the waffle cone? She said yes!! I am still confused as to whether they have a smaller serving than small and how much it is. I check on the pricing people posted here and don't see a $2.50/$3.50 smaller size showing. It remains a mystery to me, and I really wanted to know as it will be a hot summer, both my elderly parents, who are diabetic, would probably asked for ice cream, and I really don't want them to have a small each on their own, since it is still a decent size and they don't like the same flavor, so they can't really share a small one.

The place has this classic ice cream shop feel with pastel aesthetics mixed into a modern clean vibe which mixes practicality with style. I LOVE the glass panel decoration and the front decor which are simple details yet convenient decoration. The options have an interesting range in diversity, from ice cream and drinks. Their combinations are so unique, blending trendy flavors like matcha, honey, and many more delicious flavors. My favorite flavor I have tried so far, was the Dalgona Affogato--which I picked because I was thinking of the squid games. The dessert was so smooth but the honey was slightly overbearing. If that is not to your preference, they have other options that can certainly fit to your taste buds. The ice cream is perfectly sweet and an excellent treat in this summer weather. The honey crisps placed on top of the ice were so little, which I wished they had a bit more since it tasted so good with the smooth ice cream. Another thing I hoped was for the affogato to be a bit bigger portion. But then again, I am unsure about the sizings of affogato since this is my first time trying it. Thank you Honeymee Gardena for the experiance, hoping to try more in the future.
