    sad signage about NO BOARD GAMES ALLOWED!
    Jerry H.

    Food: Our family always shares their signature grass jelly shaved ice. The shaved ice is more from grass jelly and tastes very refreshing. On top, the glutinous balls of taro and sweet potato are a highlight. In addition, it comes with whole slices of grass jelly and creamers that I would recommend adding slowing as you eat it, layer by layer. We have seen a lot of people get their more traditional shaved ice towers with fruit and condensed milk. Got to try that next time (spy photo attached!) One note: As a board game fan, sadly this location strictly forbids the playing of board games... I see places like this offering their own board games so it is sad to see a sign like this at this location.

    Hot Red Bean Soup Signature + grass jelly
    Selene S.

    Haven't been here in years. They're less busy nowadays, even on a Friday. Parking in this plaza is still challenging but underground is better. There are three kiosks to use. You pick up the order yourself with the number at the counter. Self serve the utensils and napkins and put the dishes away when done. There is plenty of seating inside. Good ambiance with strong AC and generic music. We got two signature dishes: (1) hot red bean soup which comes with taro and mochi (2) iced grass jelly which comes with grass jelly, taro balls, and shaved ice at the bottom. Portion is pretty good.

    Signature Hot Red Bean Soup with grass jelly
    Sarah S.

    Wanted some dessert after dinner so decided to get some grass jelly here since I haven't came here in years. The parking in this plaza isn't the easiest but they do have underground parking. There is a large indoor seating area with comfortable seats. You can order at the counter or at the kiosks. We got the Signature Ice Grass Jelly ($10) and added red bean topping ($1), and also got the Signature Hot Red Bean Soup ($10) with additional grass jelly as topping ($1). The toppings are kinda expensive so didn't add more. The menu has a good variety of dessert options, hot and cold, plus drinks. Their shaved ice looked pretty good so I do want to come back someday. We did dine in so we took a seat while we waited. When the order is ready, they send a text to the number provided and you go to the pick up area. And they have small bowls and spoons to grab yourself if needed, which I liked. I liked the signature ice grass jelly. The portion is pretty big for the price and is good enough for two people to share. The taro and pumpkin balls are as good as I remember, and they tasted good with the grass jelly and shaved ice. I did do less ice but it was still a big portion for two. It tasted extra good after adding the half and half. For the hot red bean soup, it was pretty good too with the taro scoops inside. But I still prefer the iced desserts. Overall, this is a safe dessert spot option for Taiwanese grass jelly, shaved ice, and drinks. They have lots of Taiwanese options to choose from. I think it isn't as popular as it used to be with all the new spots opening up but it is a good Taiwanese dessert and boba spot. It is not amazing but the quality and portion are both good.

    Hot Tofu Pudding w/ boba, barley & mini taro balls (yum!)

    3.5 stars. Multiple kiosks available. Can also order with cashier as you walk in. Lots of seating. I usually get dessert from Meet Fresh, but decided to try a new drink from them. DRINKS: Matcha Jasmine Latte w/ Matcha Fluffy 4/5 Not bad. Tastes fine, but over $8 after tax is a little pricey. Not exactly good value cuz I can get tasty/good matcha elsewhere for $5

    The dessert here definitely taste better fresh and especially at this location. Arcadia location is okay... its hit or miss for consistency. This location, the service is ehhhhh ... young teens who dont want to work or avoid interactions with customers . No smile or eye contact. I come here 1x a week . If u need the bathroom, they won't give u the code, u MUST purchase something first and then you'll get a code to use bathroom .. my daughter had to use bathroom so badly but we had to order first . We tried to ask employee if we can use it first. Strictly whisper 'no'. So I asked another person... he gave us the wrong code .... unbelievable employees here. Atmosphere is nice . Parking is hard to find, so go underground for parking. Its in a nice plaza with a variety of foods and places to hang out if u want to come here to meet with friends and family . Ill give this place after 3 star since employees here show no interest to work there and horrible attitudes. U can just take anyone's order... they don't even care . If u asked them where is my order, they whisper softly .. honestly they cant even put effort to vocalize but i can hesr them talking amongst each other normally with normal voices . Anyways... Someone took our order and they didn't even know or care. Just let them know and they'll remake it. You'll get a text message when your order is ready . I only come here for authentication dessert, disregard the employees. Hehe

    Icy Grass Jelly Signature
    Sherry T.

    I've been coming here since they've been opened. I remembered the days when the lines were out the door and there were no kiosk ordering. It's nice to see it's still busy on a Friday night with big groups gathering. Because of the big groups, it's quite loud. Good amount of seating but the attention to the tables is lacking. I understand it gets busy, but the tables were not wiped down. We had to do it ourselves. The servers are not very friendly considering the fact that we're not even ordering with them. They just have to call our names. They are soft spoken and we couldn't hear or tell who they are calling. I still enjoy the desserts especially the Icy Grass Jelly Signature. The drinks are also yummy and my daughter loves their egg waffle.

    Kimmi C.

    Enjoyed the shaved ice with various mochi, different jellies, peanut. Alll of it was covered in condensed milk. 3 people shared one after dinner and we did not finish it. They gave all sorts of drinks and can choose the level of sweetness, you order in the front, given a buzzer and pick up your own order. Parking can be a bit challenging

    Fanny S.

    I really like their taro balls and hot grass jelly, so I order them quite often. Since parking in this plaza is not very convenient, I usually order through Uber Eats. The desserts always arrive still warm, which I really appreciate.

    Jenny T.

    This is my first time here and I thought that it was a little pricey for a bowl of ice grass jelly, two sesame balls, sago and almond pudding. Each item was tasty enough but the grass jelly and almond pudding could've had more flavor and the textures were a little too soft. I enjoyed it as it brought me back to my childhood when my great grandma would make these desserts for Chinese new year. Service is fast but not super helpful. The place was busy and people seemed to be doing family style but it felt a a little chaotic and messy.

    Elocin T.

    The pricing of this location and other meat fresh places have gone up astronomically I still remember when they first open pricing was around the $7 point and now it's nearly doubled actually a little more than doubled but I digress that's just California and inflation and labor increase and everything increasing let's talk about the food it tastes really really good grass jelly is their signature so make sure whatever you order that you do include grass jelly that flavor that taste has not changed luckily they offer promotions sometimes so be on the lookout and follow them on social media I like that they offer water because Drinking Water is easier to drink it and compliment it with the sugary dessert that you're about to eat they have Mobile kiosk ordering they'll have online ordering and they do have a order closing. Sometimes it's slightly before they close so be on the lookout and check out their operating hours they can get busy when they're really really busy so it's hard to find a seating area the parts of their restaurant seating area flooring Etc seems to be slightly deteriorating due to not maintaining and not properly cleaning I can notice this because I knew this place when they first opened just an observation

    Winter Melon Tea
    Jane K.

    I got the winter melon tea half sweet with caramel pudding and the drink is sooo sweet! Thank goodness I got half sugar. But it's very good! Nice and velvety. Also I ordered the crystal mochi and mung bean mochi set and the crystal mochi is sooo good with red bean inside, very soft and delicate! I didn't really enjoy the mung bean cakes! That's okay though I'll still come back to get other things. My roommate got the tofu pudding set and really enjoyed that.

    Vicky O.

    i got a shaved ice for my family of 6 to share and it was perfect. i feel like this could be for 8 people. We really like the brown sugar, boba, and the ice cream. i think there's also some type of milk tea in it, which we also enjoyed. My favorite topping is rice balls, which i always add.

    I will tell my story as how it happened. I was in Temple City. I needed to use the restroom like quick. I got lucky to have found a parking spot in the Camellia Square where Meet Fresh is located. I knew they were the biz that would have a restroom. I quickly walked in and headed to the restroom area. A code is required. I had to get the code from the staff at the front counter. I thought they were "All Gender" restrooms so I quickly punched in the code at the very first restroom closest to me. Well, they are not "All Gender" restrooms. I mistakenly went into the wrong restroom. Oh well, first time for everything. Funny thing is that two people came into the restroom I was in shortly after I entered. Luckily, they used the urinal. It's my fault I entered the wrong restroom, but seriously, they should have a different code for the women's and men's restrooms IMHO. This is one story that I will never forget! LOL In support of Meet Fresh, I ordered the Coco Sago Soup Signature to-go via their self-ordering kiosk. Staff was friendly. The wait time wasn't too bad. Unfortunately, for the last few Meet Fresh locations including this one that I have visited recently, their dining area is just a mess. Tables and chairs are not clean and organized. Floors are not swept. Atmosphere just looks dirty. Sorry, but I am a stickler when it comes to cleaniless and organization. They need to have dedicated staff to attend to the dining area throughout the day. THIS IS A MUST! Anyway, the Coco Sago Soup Signature had tons of great ingredients such as taro, miniature taro balls, soft and chewy boba, coconut flavored mochi, soft and bouncy sago, and freshly made coco sago soup which I love. It was good overall. However, I was surprised it did not taste sweet at all. I may have to ask them to sweeten it if I should get it again.

    Spiceology is a family owned mom and pop Taiwanese restaurant that serves delicious and affordable…read moreTaiwanese bento boxes. This place was packed on a Monday surprisingly. An hour into opening, we waited for about 30 min to get our food. I definitely recommend calling it in. We got the popcorn chicken rice and pork chop rice and it was only $12 each. You never see these prices anywhere anymore especially with a combo deal like this. Come during lunch time on a weekday and you'll also get a free tea as well! Everything was also very yummy. Popcorn chicken had really good flavor and had a nice crunch. The pork chop on the other hand was seasoned well but I wish it was a bit more crispy. I love the veggies that come with it too. Well balanced in all the macros. Overall, this is such a good place to hit up for your Taiwanese fix. Worth it for the price, flavor, and serving size!

    Thought I should update my reviews from over 11 years ago since a lot has changed. I stop coming…read morehere over the years because many times I walked by their sign always say closed. The few times I did catch them. I came in for their shaved snow. The difference between shaved snow and shaved ice is the snow has a softer fluffier consistency and melts in your mouth like cream. Shaved ice is essentially crushed ice into small pieces. I usually get the mango set, but if mangoes aren't in season, it can get very tart. My last one was very sweet. It's a nice cooling dessert for the over 100 degree LA heat. Be prepared, they are often out of many items, so even though it's on their menu, it may not be available. They're usually not busy so seating is not a problem. I haven't tried their lunch menu for a long time but plan to go back and will update my review afterwards. * Shared parking lot in a plaza. Tucked in the corner right next to Dollar Tree.

    *** Credit cards accepted over $30 ***…read more Sinbala is one of the most iconic and long-established Taiwanese restaurants in Los Angeles and the flagship restaurant has been around for 20+ years. This is my go-to place if I ever crave actual authentic Taiwanese comfort food. Although the restaurant closed its secondary location in Rowland Heights and had a rumored change of ownership right before COVID, this flagship location is still here to stay. The original founder Linda used to work at Wan Chun Taiwanese Food before opening Sinbala. [Parking]: The parking lot can be packed during busy hours, but I had no issue finding an available spot on Sunday at 5:30 PM. [Atmosphere]: Casual dine-in setup and you are not exactly coming here to vibe but rather to enjoy good Taiwanese comfort food. [Menu]: The signature dish to order here for 1st timer is definition #1 Sausage Rice as their Taiwanese sausage is their claim to fame item. While Yelp's top highlighted items include #36 Popcorn Chicken and #2 Fried Pork Chop (all solid picks), I am a sucker on their noodle bowls such as #24 Beef Noodle Soup and #18 Pork Stew Noodle Soup. As a general rule of thumb, The general rule of thumb is their menu has picture of featured items and those are the one to get. The signature dish to order here for a 1st timer is definitely #1 Sausage Rice as their Taiwanese sausage is their claim-to-fame item. While Yelp's top highlighted items include #36 Popcorn Chicken and #2 Fried Pork Chop (all solid picks), I am a sucker for their noodle bowls such as #24 Beef Noodle Soup and #18 Pork Stew Noodle Soup. The general rule of thumb is any dishes with pictures on the menu = featured items. *** #25 Steamed mini pork bun (aka XLB prep takes 15 minutes - 10 pieces for $16.29): The XLB here had thick skin and was not super juicy, but it had an excellent flavor profile. #1 Sinbala Sausage Rice ($15.38): This remains the classic dish to order and is still one of the best Taiwanese sausages in LA and Orange County. #18 Pork Stew Noodle Soup ($15.38): If a restaurant sells any stew noodle soups, then you know that's a legit Taiwanese restaurant. The flavor profile really hit the spot and reminded me of the same stew noodle soup I had from Taiwan street vendors. *** This still remains one of my top Taiwanese restaurants in Southern California as there are fewer and fewer legit Taiwanese restaurants in Los Angeles / Orange County now.

    SinBala - Arcadia…read more SinBala is one of the rare Taiwanese restaurants that has stood the test of time. I grew up eating here. There used to be several locations across Southern California, and I'm glad the Arcadia location is still here. Every visit brings back memories. I come for the Taiwanese classics that are becoming harder to find. The popcorn chicken is still one of my favorites--crispy, fragrant, and seasoned the way Taiwanese street vendors do it. The Taiwanese meatball soup is comforting, and the Taiwanese sausage always reminds me of night markets back home. What I appreciate most is that SinBala doesn't just serve street food. It brings those familiar flavors into a warm, home-style setting. It's nostalgic without trying too hard. Before you leave, save room for dessert. Their shaved ice is a must. I always recommend the brown sugar shaved ice topped with five mochi or boba. It's refreshing, not overly sweet, and the perfect ending to a meal. Taiwanese food is often overshadowed by other regional Chinese cuisines, but places like SinBala remind me how unique it really is. Simple, comforting, and full of character. I'm grateful this little piece of Taiwan is still here.

    Can't come to SGV without a visit to Salju Desserts. Absolutely the best shaved snow around…read more They're a tiny place, but clean with two seating areas. You can order either at a kiosk or go the the counter to order there. They offer an extensive selection of snow flavors, syrups, and toppings. There's also a variety of other desserts and beverages, but I have never been able to resist the snow. Be aware that the small size is large enough for 2 or 3 people to share, and the medium is bigger still. On the several times I've been here, service has always been both cheerful and speedy. A real pleasure. I live quite a distance away, an hour or more depending on traffic, but plan to return many more times. It's that good.

    I usually only write reviews if I think the place deserves 5 stars, but now I will start reviewing…read moreeven when I think the place deserves lower ratings to help out the community of eaters pick the right choice! My friends and I chose Salju Dessert for some nice dessert because the ratings of this location seemed pretty good, but sadly we were disappointed. We chose the milk flavor and pandan. The milk flavor wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special. The pandan on the other hand was very bitter... We thought it may have been the toppings but figured out it was the pandan flavor. My friend described it as a medicine bitter taste, which I could agree on. We made a complaint and the employees happily switched it out for us for another milk flavor (maybe we should've chosen another flavor to try.) Toppings... the toppings were extremely expensive for such a small portion. It was around like $1.49 per topping??? Which is honestly pretty crazy. The toppings are set on the side in those small plastic ketchup containers. 4 Oreo cookies for $1.49, 2-3 buttercups smashed into pieces for $1.49, 1.5 strawberry sliced for $1.49, 1/8 of a banana sliced for $1.49... a container of chocolate syrup $1.49 you can imagine the rest that we added. Those portion sizes and prices are messed up lol The total was $35+ for 2 smalls with additional toppings. Overall, I don't think we will be coming back here for the shaved ice. There's definitely better options out there. The place was pretty busy too, maybe there's other items on the menu worth trying or they got bamboozled by the ratings... but in this economy, the presentation, taste, and price was not worth it and we wish we spent our money elsewhere. I usually take photos to share to friends on snap/ social media, but it was so disappointing I didn't even take any pics to show y'all. Very mid tier. Thank you to the staff who replaced our pandan though!

    Shaved ice from Oakobing on a summer night always hits, and this was no exception…read more The mango bingsu was the star of the show, hands down. Fluffy, snow-soft ice piled with real mango cubes and a milk drizzle on top - and even in the single-serving cup size, it was seriously worth it. We also tried the green tea bingsu, topped with matcha powder and mochi, which was solid but the mango stole the spotlight for me. Pro tip: the single size is pretty generous on its own, so unless you're trying to sample a few flavors, one cup does the job. We split two just to try different options and it worked out great for that! Parking along the street was hit or miss, but we went pretty late at night so it wasn't too bad. Sweet, refreshing, and exactly what a summer night calls for - will def be back to try more flavors, like the melon or strawberry!

    This is probably one of my favorite desserts especially on hot summer days. The shaved ice is soft,…read moresmooth, and creamy. It instantly melts in your mouth. The product is consistent and perfect every time. Portions are pretty big. Even the single serve can be shared between 2 people. Please look up the menu before arriving. Usually to order you walk in all the way to the kiosk and order from there. If the line is long there's also a QR code on the right side as you enter so you can order from your phone as well. The only thing that's been a consistent issue is there's nowhere to sit. Seating is available inside and there's even a few tables outside but this place is so popular that all the seats are always taken. Be prepared to take your desserts to go. You can walk up to the pick up area and ask for lids.

    This Taiwanese dessert spot is located at the Promenade outside portion of the Santa Anita Mall…read more They're open daily and hours are: - Sun-Thurs - 11am-8pm - Fri & Sat - 11am-10pm Parking was ok since there are plenty of parking spots but can be challenging, especially on the weekends. Ordering was easy and convenient since they have 2 kiosks to self-order. However, they seem fairly busy so it would be nice if there were more than just 2 kiosks since I noticed some customers take their time. The menu had an impressive variety of drinks and all kinds of desserts (e.g.shaved ice, tofu pudding, egg waffle, etc.) Pricing was a bit pricey and most items were $10+. However, the portions were very generous! Inside had plenty of seating and very spacious. I enjoyed the sink station, as well as the water refill station next to it. The Double Taro Signature ($12) consisted of grass jelly, taro balls, taro paste, and ice cream. The presentation could have been better but it's not a big deal! The taro paste was very delicious and fresh! However, I wish it was blended better since it literally felt and tasted like huge chunks of taro mixed together. The taro balls were very chewy but didn't have much of a taro flavor. The grass jelly was ok but a tad bitter so that was my least favorite item. The ice cream was just regular vanilla ice cream so nothing special. The Original QQ Mochi Egg Waffle ($4.99) was so yummy! It was so similar to the ones I had in Hong Kong! It was so crispy and fresh! I got it without chocolate chips so I received $2 discount. It was just the right amount of sweetness. I enjoyed how almost every piece had soft and chewy mochi inside. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and the dessert was so good so I'll definitely return and recommend!

    Excellent dessert place. Love to stop here every time when…read morein the area. Love the egg waffle

    I'm back again and this time got their honey butter wings, soy garlic wings, and mayak gimbap. I…read moreordered delivery through doordash and the wings were still yummy and hot 10 honey butter wings ($20) I was craving their honey butter wings specifically and love their take on it. The wings are a dry sweet rub as opposed to a sticky one. The flavor is super unique and the crunch of the wings is delicious 10 soy garlic wings ($20) The soy garlic wings are just okay compared to the honey butter wings. I didn't feel like there was as much flavor as I wanted. I like the the wings were a decent size and had a lot of crispy crunch Mayak Gimbap ($15) Unlike the typical kimbap rolls, these ones are individually rolled and stuffed with carrot radish spinach fishcake and rice. It was super yummy but a bit pricey. Disclaimer. I ordered through DoorDash which is why the prices are higher. It's definitely cheaper if you order in store.

    I had been craving Korean street food, and since this spot was nearby, I decided to give it a try…read more I loved that they had my favorite combo meal all in one, which made ordering so easy. Everything was really satisfying, and I also enjoyed the K pop music they were playing. They have a great menu with lots of different options, so there's something for everyone. It's located in a small plaza with parking available, although it can get pretty crowded. If the lot is full, there's also street parking right across the street.
