    Matcha Ice Cream & Taro Ice Cream with homemade Milk Chocolate waffle cone
    Natalie A.

    Visited this place on a Saturday evening it wasn't too busy, we were assisted promptly and the service was friendly. So far so good. Unfortunately, this might have been a case of reality vs expectations. The description on yelp says, "rolled ice cream and soft serve with seasonal flavors." Many of the photos also show soft serve with different toppings. Well, what we received was not what we expected. A small scoop of ice cream with a "homemade" waffle cone that smelled oddly chemical. The ice cream itself was fine but I definitely would not be going out of my way for it and I definitely would not pay $5.50 for that scoop again.

    so small
    Maddie D.

    compared to the pictures online, the scoop was soo tiny. the scoop was literally the size of a golf ball. if I wanted to I can definitely shove that scoop in one go down my mouth. I cannot believe I spent over $7 on this scoop of ice cream. yes the icecream was good but it was definitely not worth my $7. I got it an hour ago and I am still mad about it. if u see pictures online in your head imagine it to be like 3 times smaller. also the cashier asked me if I wanted toppings or if I wanted to self serve. the toppings I said no too, but yes to the serf serve. and I was charged extra. it was lowk misleading bc the lady did not tell me it was extra. now I know what yall may ne thinking, it's common sense that it costs extra. but she made it seem as if it came with. so I'm furious. anw if u want a sample sized scoop and are willing to spend a buttload of money, fill free to come here!

    Hojicha soft serve
    Selene S.

    I was in the area and wanted dessert with my friend after dinner so we walked over to The Pond for some ice cream. We both got the hojicha soft serve in a cup. Before deciding on this flavor, I was indecisive since I never tried it before so the employee actually offered samples for us to try. I appreciated that. The menu was a bit confusing at first to figure out the pricing. Ambiance was cool with pretty lights on the windows and back wall. You can a stamp for each dessert item; buy 10 get one free. For $6.50, the soft serve was not worth the price though. Toppings were not free at 0.99 cents each. The cup wasn't even filled to the brim with the soft serve. It was worth trying and for the cute pic but don't think I'll come back.

    Waited 20 minutes for this

    I paid $6.75 for a scoop of vanilla and lemon sorbet. I had to wait 20 MINUTES for one scoop of vanilla and some ice cream on the side the slightly resembled a squished slather of lemon sorbet. The ratio of vanilla to lemon sorbet was 5 to 1. The vanilla took up 90 percent of the cup. When the server put down the cup, her face expressed that she had fought a difficult battle while scooping ice cream. She practically slammed the cup down with a dramatic sigh. In other ice cream shops, the server either points to where the spoons are, or give you a spoon. This server didn't even look at me. I had to find the spoons myself. Now some of you might call me lazy. Perhaps, but at ice cream shops you expect at least some form of manners. All in all, would not recommend unless you're looking for a long wait and unproportional meal. No wonder this place is so empty all the time.

    Matcha soft serve
    Jessica A.

    Stopped by to try a new dessert spot. I'm obsessed with everything matcha so of course I had the matcha soft serve in a cup with mochi and coconut flakes. It was not sweet and definitely captured that matcha flavor which I thoroughly enjoyed. They have soft serve, rolled ice cream, and scooped ice cream. Only downside is they only offered 3 soft serve flavors, but great as they had 6 rolled flavors and 6 scooped flavors. Wouldn't recommend the scoops as they were super tiny. Saw someone order a single scoop and it looked like the portion size was for a toddler. My husband tried the affogato which was not good. Scoops were so tiny and espresso shots were super strong, possibly burnt. There was no balance and it really should come in a drinkable cup considering the type of dessert. I appreciated the seasonal and rotating flavors which would keep me coming back. They also had waffle cones in a couple of flavors. They add a little goldfish and pocky stick as their signature. The parking lot was small and completely full on a Sunday evening due to there being several local businesses sharing the same lot. We had to find some street parking. The inside itself is small but cute there were a couple of tables with seats and a little window bar seating area too.

    Cute little shop with a very small parking lot hidden behind the row of stores (around 8 spots in total, if I recall correctly). The theme continuity throughout the store had me cracking up the whole time. For some reason, the past hype surrounding rolled ice cream has quite literally been wiped off the face of Southern California. I've never been the biggest ice cream fan, but I love the texture of rolled ice cream. I was originally excited to try out this store, since I saw a few Asian flavors offered (ex. matcha) on past menu photos. Once I actually arrived, the only flavors listed on the menu for rolled ice cream were vanilla and chocolate. Server was accommodating and added strawberries to mash into the vanilla. Ended up eating the strawberry rolled ice cream with 3 free toppings (mango, strawberry and mochi). The list of toppings offered was extensive. The cut-up mango tasted extremely sour and not very tender, even though it was mid-mango season when I went. The singular goldfish cracker placed on top had me cackling. Overall, I thought what I got satisfied my craving for rolled ice cream. If anyone knows of other hidden locations with rolled ice cream, please let ya girl know!! :')

    I really enjoyed the simple cute decors at this ice cream spot. Yelp check in gives a free coke upgrade meaning you can get something like the charcoal cone for free! I tried the milk tea soft serve which was actually really on point to how milk tea tastes. Also tried the dark pineapple which was pretty much just pineapple but black colored. Flavor wise this place hit the spot. The different cone flavors is pretty awesome too, definitely try out the charcoal cone. I will say the price here is a bit more on the pricey side for ice cream, it's like $8 for soft serve and a cone upgrade but it is located in Arcadia. Definitely want to try the waffle next time!

    Rarely am I ever catfished by a menu item... My mom, brother, and I came here last week because we were craving something sweet on a hot day. I was eyeing the soft serve section of the menu, cookie dough in particular because I love cookie dough. Usually, cookie dough flavors are a kind of cream color, but here at Pond Ice Cream, it was bright blue! It should be named Cookie Monster, or my brother suggested Smurf. It was sweet, inside hollow (photos attached) made my lips and tongue blue, and tasted more like cotton candy than cookie dough. I believe the price was $6.50. My mom and brother each got rolled ice cream, priced $9, but is a large serving. My mom got ube, and my brother got chocolate. Both were delicious but so big and sweet they couldn't finish the whole cup. Service: nice friendly blonde young lady. She gave us a breakdown of the whole menu after we told her it was our first time. She was patient with us when we were choosing what to order. Not sure if the place is hiring, but she looked a bit lonely since we went during not-so-busy hours. The rolled ice creams also took some time because it was just her. I would also add that there are mostly high tables inside, and the chairs are almost as high as the tables themselves which were a bit uncomfortable. Parking: there is a good size parking lot in the back. Street parking is also available I believe.

    Came here for dessert just to try it out. They have a lot of really cool asian soft serve flavors like white rose - not too sweet and very refreshing. I got the ube rolled ice cream with frosted flakes, coconut crunch and mochi. It came out to $13.75! I have never tried rolled ice cream before so I wanted to just have it at least once. The ice cream was pretty good but nothing mind blowing. Adding the coconut crunch and frosted flakes really helped give it some texture. The place itself is really cute and would be a nice place to hangout. I don't think I would come back specifically for the ice cream but the vibe was nice :)

    Vanilla ice cream
    Nathalia H.

    A scoop of vanilla ice cream was $7 plus. It just taste like a store bought ice cream. The almond topping has rancid smell to it.

    Lemon sorbet
    Princess G.

    The fuck - I paid 6 plus dollars for the smallest scoop of sorbet I've ever been served! And the ice cream is so mediocre! Not worth it!!!!! They failed to tell me that 2 scoops is 6.50! Wtf is up with that pricing!!? I was so in shock I left and didn't even get a spoon! I ate my sad little sorbet in the car with the flimsy little pocky! Why would you put chocolate pocky and one sad gold fish on a lemon flavored sorbet??? I am aghast!

    Drove here for some ice cream at 6:40pm on Feb. 18th and they were closed. Had to find somewhere else to go for ice cream after my date night. There was a sign that said closed for two weeks check back Feb. 15th.

We walked into a casual ramen shop atmosphere, the kind of place that works well for a quick and satisfying meal rather than a long dining experience. The space is functional and focused, with a menu centered around different variations of mazesoba along with a few sides and drinks. The main reason to visit is the mazesoba, and it delivers a completely different experience from typical ramen. The noodles have a chewy texture and are meant to be mixed thoroughly with the toppings, sauce, and egg yolk to bring everything together. We tried the Nagoya-style combination of spicy minced pork, green onions, seaweed, garlic, and other toppings, and found the bowl rich and layered, with each bite getting better as everything blended together. The deluxe versions add more toppings and make the dish feel more complete, while the spice level can be adjusted depending on how much heat you prefer. The richness of the sauce and toppings is balanced by the brightness of the egg yolk and the crunch of the onions, keeping the dish from feeling one-dimensional. The restaurant also offers options like takoyaki and matcha drinks, which add variety to the meal. The matcha latte is a nice contrast to the heavier noodle dishes, while the sides work well for sharing or adding something extra to the table. Since mazesoba is naturally a heavier dish, the balance of toppings and textures helps keep the meal from feeling too rich, and the sides offer a lighter counterpoint. Service is quick and the experience moves efficiently, which fits the casual style of the restaurant. Menya Hanabi can get crowded during busy hours, and waits are possible, but the focused menu and flavorful bowls make it worth adding to a noodle rotation. It is a great spot if you want to try something different from traditional ramen, delivering a meal that feels both intentional and satisfying, with a concept that is simple but executed in a way that makes the noodles stand out.

When she asked if it was our first time visiting, we said yes, and she introduced a few menu items. However, when we ended up ordering only three bowls of ramen because we felt that would be enough, she seemed noticeably unhappy with our order. After placing our order, we waited about 20 minutes for our food. While we were waiting, I jokingly told my friend, "This place better be good if we're waiting this long it better be worth it." The table next to us overheard and replied, "It's just alright." At the time we laughed and thought they were being tough critics, but after getting our food, we completely understood what they meant. When the ramen arrived, it looked very basic, like premade or store-bought noodles that could easily be replicated at home. The ramen included only half of an egg, and it wasn't even prepared like a traditional ramen egg. The portion size was also surprisingly small. I finished my bowl in about three minutes and felt like I spent more time waiting than actually eating. We were still hungry after finishing our meals and ended up going elsewhere for tacos afterward. For the price and wait time, we expected a much more satisfying meal. Unfortunately, between the service, attitude, food quality, and portion sizes, this was not a memorable dining experience for the right reasons. This was our first visit, and it will be our last.

You're welcomed into a cozy apace that has some decorative elements even to the music choice. Reminds me of our trip to japan, which I MISS SO MUCH! The Food Takoyaki: $8.95. 4/5 Stars. - Comes in 5pcs with sauce and bonito flakes. I liked how the outside was a bit crunchy and inside was fluffy! Karage: $8.95. 5/5 Stars - Comes in 5pcs.

Loved it so much I could have a whole bowl Tsukemen: $22.45. 5/5Stars - If you aren't familiar with this, the broth is separate from the noodles. Its a different way of experiencing noodles. The broth is thick, creamy and flavor profile is on point. Inside of the broth there is mushrooms and pcs of pork. The noodles are cooked perfectly and also comes with pcs of nori, soft boiled jammy eggs and 4 pcs of thick chashu. Portion size lets just say they are generous and we all can EAT ^^, Kakigori (MATCHA) $8/$14. 5/5 Stars - Definite MUST! Its made with Japanese shaved ice, a very creamy soft cream matcha sauce and matcha powder! I cant tell you how good this dessert is. The wife is obsessed and one if the main reasons why we found this spot in the first place. Please try! Service: - Super friendly staff! They are quick to get our order and serve our meal.

I can't speak for them, but I will say, if you order the tsukemen and find that you want more dipping broth, that will be an extra charge. Order a regular bowl of ramen if you do not plan to dip the brothless noodles into the broth for each bite. BF and I both tried the spicy tuna bowl ($7.95), chashu bowl ($8.95), and tonkotsu ramen ($15.95). The bowls are a little smaller than the ramen bowls and are a great option if you want a light meal without feeling super full. The tonkotsu ramen had a slightly rich broth that was flavorful and a decent portion of noodles. We opted not to order the ramen with the egg since we were also trying the rice bowls. The three items were more than enough for the two of us and a good variety of food. Parking here is horrible at the street level, so head downstairs for the two levels of underground parking.

The assorted sashimi selection was also enjoyable, especially the uni and premium sashimi cuts, which had a rich and smooth texture. I also liked the wagyu beef tongue, which was tender and flavorful. The mixed tempura was light, crispy, and not too greasy. Other highlights included the uni tofu appetizer and the beef rice bowl topped with egg yolk. The restaurant has a clean and modern setting, making the dining experience comfortable. The staff was friendly, attentive, and helpful with menu recommendations. Overall, a solid spot in Arcadia for fresh sashimi, uni, sweet shrimp, and other Japanese dishes.

    Our family has been to Kiyo a handful of times, and it's become my favorite sushi place…read more Fish is sizable and fresh, prices are reasonable. We love that they do weekend lunch special, and we specifically come for that. The sushi lunch combo always includes generous, thick slices of fresh fish and a good variety. This last time, we even got a huge scallop nigiri in our combos! We also ordered a roll and an order of takoyaki to share this time around, and both hit the spot. Interior is classy, clean, and comfortable. Service can be a little slow depending on how busy it is (on a Saturday during lunch, our 3 sushi combos arrived like 15 minutes after my grandma's chicken udon), but that speaks to the made-to-order quality, so I'm not too bummed. Overall, as a sushi fanatic who doesn't like to break the bank each time we go out, this is my go-to and we'll be back every time we're in town.
