So glad we came before the rush as after we got our shaved ice, there ran out of seats! The ice was very soft and we loved how it was not too sweet but we could add some watered down condensed milk on top if we wanted to. The flavors also really came through in the ice. The whole dessert was absolutely light, refreshing, and delicious. They also have lattes and croffles. I highly recommend. We got the mango melon & strawberry matcha shaved ice. Will definitely be back to try the strawberry and black sesame!

Even though it was busy when we arrived, the line moved quickly and the staff kept everything running smoothly. The moment we walked in, the smell of fresh waffles and sweet ice cream filled the whole shop and instantly made us excited to order. Since we had all just eaten dinner, we figured we'd play it safe and order the small sizes... big mistake! Their "small" portions are HUGE and definitely big enough to share. We were honestly surprised when our desserts came out. Everything looked amazing and tasted even better -- fresh, warm, sweet, and perfectly satisfying without being overly heavy. The service was fast, the desserts were delicious, and the overall atmosphere made it such a fun family stop. We'll absolutely be coming back again, and next time we know to share!

Tea Spots is located at 1443 East Colorado Boulevard Pasadena California 91106. It is located in a…read moresmall group of stores just east of the intersection of Colorado Boulevard and Hill Avenue. There are three small eateries and a nail salon located here. An adequate parking lot is located in front of these stores. Upon entering tea spots I was greeted by a friendly hello. I walked to the counter and asked questions about the types of food that they had available. The staff described a variety of selections. They are definitely more than just tea and smoothies. They have what they call 'snacks' on a large menu. These are more than snacks, they are full meals. I decided on some Ramen and Potstickers. I was impressed that they asked me exactly how I wanted things prepared. Spice levels were a prime consideration, so I decided on medium spicy. As I waited on my order, I looked at their beverage menu that was filled with different Boba coffees, teas and slushies. There are also quite a number of items on the menu that I want to try with different styles of preparation. After about 10 minutes my food was ready and I was out the door and on my way home. They do have areas inside this location to dine inside. When I unpacked my food at home, I was pleased to see how carefully it had been put together. They had everything individually wrapped. I was eager to try the potstickers first. The Pork Potstickers were delicious. Great flavor and moist with a crisp outside edge. The Japanese Miso Ramen wes filled with flavor and spice. I added some Sriracha and Soy Sauce to complete my preference. I look forward to coming back and enjoying some different beverages and flavors from the kitchen.

Recently, I got an email saying they now have new sizzling plates, and I couldn't wait to try them. They offer four different sizzling plates, and I went with the beef fried noodles. Honestly, it's not the best--the flavor is a bit off, but I was really hungry so I ate about half. It's okay after adding some Sriracha, but I wouldn't order it again. The sizzling plate comes with a tea, and I got an oolong tea with 50% sweetness. It was just okay. Parking can be challenging at times, and the spaces are pretty narrow.

Their bingsu and toppings all blended so well together it felt like I was eating a Chinese/Korean açaí bowl. It felt like a very light dessert and I could keep eating more of it. Some bingsu's are a bit more decadent. This place was just right. The bingsu was light and the texture was perfect. It wasn't too icy like some other places. Service was excellent! The cashier was kind and patient. We received our order quickly. There is plenty of seating inside the store. Bingsu Bingsu is located on the promenade side of the Arcadia Westfield mall.

There are a handful of seating inside, so can be pretty crowded when busy. Good value as the large portion size is plenty to share for two. Parking wise, can be a pain in the you-know-what at this mall, especially on a weekend or during a holiday.

It's so hard to find a place that stays consistent over 10+ years but they have. They're located in the same plaza as 626 Hospitality and Dollar Tree. It might be hard to find their store but it's in the 90 degree corner of Dollar Tree. There's plenty of parking spots available for customers regardless of the nearby busy businesses. They have plenty of seating to choose from and you can do your homework, catch up with friends, and eat their food! They offer shaved ice, rice plates, and appetizers/snacks. Food: Popcorn Chicken (10/10): We got mild spice for the popcorn chicken and it was the perfect amount of spice. You can definitely choose no spice or go even spicier. They fry the popcorn chicken fresh to order so it might take a bit for your order to come out. The chicken is still moist regardless of the fry and the best part is, there's an amazing amount of crunch with each piece.

When you come in, there is a sign that tells you to order before being seated. My sister and her bf had yet to arrive so I placed a sizeable order for the 4 of us. Luckily, they were there (waiting in the car) so I told them to walk over so we can be seated. I ordered 2 orders of chiayi chicken (1with white rice and 1 with brown rice), 2 orders of thousand layer pancake (1 with egg and 1 with egg and cheese), shrimp wonton, dance dan noodles, wonton noodle soup, hakka mochi and forbidden rice pudding. For drinks we had a few of the shaken iced green teas and 1 taro milk tea (my sister said it didnt taste like taro) Everything was great. I was surprised my sister's bf liked the food. The chiayi chicken was good with a bit of the chili sauce (sambal). The thousand layer pancake was good if you dip it in the black vinegar (mixed with chili oil and a little soy sauce). The shrimp wonton were surprisingly light and tasty. The dan dan noodles was balanced my medium thin sliced cucumber. Everything was portioned very small so you can try everything.we didnt get additional sides because were getting full. The desserts was what I was looking forward to and it did not disappoint. The hakka mochi reminded me of the soy pudding stalls in singapore that had mochi balls filled with a black sesame paste and peanut paste inside. This is what the hakka mochi was but in dry soft chewy form with black sesame and peanut grains to top it off. For my sister, it reminded her of the filipino dessert pichi pichi. The forbidden rice pudding reminded me of a soupy version of the filipino dessert biko. It had chunks of sweet potatoes and tapioca. Also very good but my bias is the hakka mochi. The ambiance was bright, bustling and inviting. Very small tables perfect for a quick bite. Highly recommend if you want a tapas style lunch that doesn't break the bank.

Sometimes overly sugary to the point where the flavor gets lost. What's more confusing is that the sweetness and strength seem to change depending on the visit. One time it's balanced, the next time it's much sweeter or stronger than expected. The menu was also a little confusing at first. With a name like Tim's Thai Tea, I expected mostly Thai tea drinks, but a lot of the menu is actually Filipino-style desserts. They might be good, but it wasn't what I was expecting when I came for Thai tea. Service can also vary. Some visits are perfectly pleasant, but there have been a couple of times when Tim seemed a bit snippy or short, which made the interaction feel a little uncomfortable. As someone who drinks a lot of tea, I appreciate good flavor balance, so I hope they can dial back the sugar and keep things more consistent. The concept is nice, but it could use a little refinement.
