Such a great ice cream spot…read more Our go to items are .. Sweetie : ice cream with honey drizzle Honeymee : ice cream with a honeycomb *but what I usually do is ask for a sweetie with a honeycomb or a honeymee with honey drizzle. My husband has tried the shake too and it's just as good as the ice cream. It's such a simple dessert but sooo good. It may look "plain" but the taste is everything but plain. The ice cream and honey just go PERFECT together! Always a good treat.

The making of the Strawberry Shawty turned out to be a mini show. The employee poured some cream and crushed graham crackers onto a super cold surface and molded the mixture into thin, curled sheets. The finished product was visually appealing. It looked like little pink roses in a cup. It tasted pretty good too. The service was very good. There was a sign that said credit cards are only accepted for transactions greater than $20. My order was much less than that, but they took my credit card payment without a fuss. Also, I told them I didn't want any toppings, but they encouraged me to add toppings since they were free. This spot is a cool place to check out for those who are looking for a unique ice cream experience.

We were in the area when I thought of stopping in for dessert. Beard Papa is the only place open…read morelate in the food court of Tokyo Central. They are open 10am to 8pm, daily. I ordered an original with vanilla filling. The pricing has remained the same but the size of the puff appears to be smaller. They used to be presented in a cardboard food "boat," like the ones used for French fries. Now the cream puffs are served in a larger size cupcake liner. Hmmmm. There was a steady stream of customers while we were there. Ok, bye.

They do have some really good cream puff flavors, the vanilla cream is my go-to, and my kids love the chocolate. The customer service needs some work. Every single time I've been there, it kind of feels like the staff is just not thrilled to help, and that vibe definitely takes away from the experience. I keep coming back because the cream puffs are delicious, but I really wish they'd at least crack a smile or make you feel a bit more welcome. I did see a fly on a cream puff once, and while they did toss it out after I pointed it out, it'd be great if they covered the pastries so that doesn't happen. And be prepared to wait a bit because they fill the puffs to order, which is nice for freshness but can slow things down.

I liked how light the pieces are and not super oily. On another day, I tried the matcha parfait. I was worried that it might be too sweet. Fortunately, the sweetness wasn't overwhelming for me. The matcha ice cream had a great matcha flavor and the red bean paste filled castella bites were also yummy as well.

We drove over 90 mins in 5pm Friday primo freeway traffic to celebrate my son's graduation at Wagyu…read moreButcher. I had seen some social media posts raving about this place & with this being located in the South Bay area, I knew it was going to be worth the drive. There are 3 different courses to choose from, Tenma Omakase $50 - appetizers of pickled vegetables, beef soup, 5 varieties of wagyu meat, curry rice, today's dessert. Butcher Omakase $75 - appetizers of pickled vegetables, beef soup, US Wagyu sashimi, 7 varieties of meat, curry rice, today's dessert. Wagyu Omakase $90 - appetizers of pickled vegetables, beef soup, US Wagyu sashimi, 7 varieties of meat, curry rice, Chef's special dessert. You have a choice of beef curry or upgrading for A5 Wagyu sushi $10 & adding uni for another $10. I got the Butcher Omakase with the A5 Wagyu sushi topped with uni. They bring the big slab of wagyu sushi & literally torch it to give it an added flavor. It was definitely good but I would actually skip the uni as the creamy flavor of uni & the fatty wagyu flavor cancel each other out. It diminishes the greatness of 2 amazing ingredients. The beef soup is a consommé made from the wagyu bones/trimmings & it has such a richness, the bold umami flavor really leaves you speechless. The pickled vegetables and kimchi were okay. I would have preferred spinach goma-ae or something like a small cucumber & wakame salad. Each course of meat was slightly different. There were 3 different cuts of tongue, all good but the cut from the underside of the tongue was a bit chewy. As each course came, the meat quality & flavor kept getting better! All of us agreed that the best & the star of the Omakase is/was the Wagyu Sukiyaki!! The sweet smell of the sukiyaki sauce drizzled over the wagyu as it sizzled on the grill was drool-worthy. Once it was quickly cooked, the wagyu is dipped into the whipped sukiyaki cream! It looked so weird but it was absolutely heavenly!! You can order small bowl of ramen or extra cuts of different wagyu but the Sukiyaki Wagyu is not available a la carte or as an extra serving. Darn it! The dessert was a Hoji-cha purin (pudding or more like flan). I've never had Hoji-cha purin & it was actually as good if not better than matcha to end the scrumptious meal. The service there was top notch, each dish was explained well and they cooked the meat quickly with attention to detail, good presentation. Our waitress even came out from behind the counter to take pictures of our extended family by the wall sign next to the front door! Wagyu Butcher has a wrap around rectangular counter seating only so it is a bit tricky to seat in a big group. We had 6 of us and it was hard to have a conversation with everyone. The only problem I saw with this seating arrangement was how they accommodate guests in wheelchairs or special mobility devices. Maybe they have a table in the back corner that I didn't see from where I sat. We all want to go back again for the next special occasion dinner! It was worth every minute of the drove down & more!!
