    I love ice cream in general and Loards I been going to since I was a kid. The banana split I got…read morewas good, I'm just trying to swallow the $13.95 price no pun intended haha. I'm also trying to get over the size which is called "super special". Umm super tiny is more like it haha. Im 6'6" and to call the smallest banana split I have ever had super special is comedy. But thats just my opinion. With that said I enjoyed it, I would have enjoyed it more at half the price but I know prices are changing so I'm trying to adjust, be patient with me, Im a slow learner haha. This particular Loards is located in the middle of a walk way. You have to park and walk alittle not much. I need to try all their other options. I always get the banana split. They have a plethera of options I need to explore. Now go and enjoy, you can thank me later.

    I came back, and they still have a ton of different flavors offered. They limit it to 2 samples, so…read morechoose wisely. I ultimately opted for a double scoop, mocha almond fudge and matcha. Mocha almond fudge: I liked the texture and that it's not as sweet due to the coffee and chocolate combo, it's a good flavor if you like some crunch. Matcha: It doesn't have as strong of a savory and slightly bitter taste as some places' matcha ice cream, but it was still pretty good. They give you pretty large scoops, so price is pretty on par with ice cream nowadays.

    I've been here 3 times this past week! I am super picky with ice cream and it's hard for me to…read moreactually be impressed with an ice cream shop. As soon and I saw the flavor almond cherry I knew I had to try it.. I love anything almond and I was very much impressed and obsessed. Next time I'm getting a pint to enjoy at home when I can't make it to the shop. I also tried the oatmeal cookie cinnamon and coffee, all were amazing but nothing tops almond cherry By the way the other reviews are right...service here isn't great. There's an African American lady who is quite rude but it's all good I didn't take her negativity personally

    Review is mainly about service vs the ice cream itself. But I gave it an extra star as I thought…read morethe ice cream was good considering it is vegan. Came in on a Sunday night with a big group. The employee would forget which flavors we wanted and rudely asked for all of us (who already got our ice cream) to leave the space as it was getting too crowded. Fair ask, yes. The way it was delivered? Just rudely said with a bad tone too. I also got charged for my ice cream when one of my friends had already paid for mine in front of me. I went to have it reversed, and he was saying how my friend paid for 6 singles and I got a junior size then there was nothing to be reversed. If anything we paid twice and for the wrong size. I get that it may have been confusing especially with big groups and long lines but it could have been handled more professionally.

    I have been here so many times so I'm surprised I haven't written a review yet…read more This place is quite a quintessential restaurant to eat at in Oakland Chinatown. They are open late and have plenty of seating and a huge menu to select everything you'd want. This time around we got mixed fruits in a crepe, strawberry ice cream with an eggette, ovaltine, milk tea and a baked chicken and rice to go for tomorrow's lunch. The desserts were decent and tasted like what you'd think they'd taste like. The drinks were soothing and the baked chicken and rice was the star of the show. It was savory with every grain of rice not going to waste with how delicious it is and the chicken was oh so, tender. The baked rice dishes are where they're at. The duck roll was also perfection. The duck was tender and the roll was crispy and chewy. Yummy! They have a $10 minimum spend per person so plan accordingly!

    It's a nice quick bite to eat. It's more for catering and…read morelarge families to dine in. I have never dined inside because the chairs for Togo and waiting area are always filthy. I've gotten orders to go from here for 5 years plus. I started with the rice plates (mediocre, like I said quick bite) then I found their appetizer duck rolls (the ish)! I ordered them for every meal after that. Then I found they had a delicious coffee and tea combo (I thought I was the only one doing that...lol)! Once again delicious every time. At first I thought it only came in one size (large cup) then one day I ordered and then person gave me a small cup and I didn't remember if they charged me the same. Then I went back again and said large cup and they seemed surprised I even knew there was a difference (that was weird AF...like you know what weird). So I l've spent some time now saying Large cup and hopefully will continue. The issue is now that the last time I ordered my delicious duck rolls and a coffee and tea combo, my coffee came hot and wonderful (almost too hot) and my ducks rolls came cold! Literally like it came from thawing and they forgot to "cook it!" Ugg ewwwwwww I ended it microwaving one and eating it that night. My plan had been to eat one night and save the other anyway. Ended up heating up the other one a couple days later on my stove top. I love cooking so this wasn't a huge issue, but wow what a serious mistake! Or was it...? Idk at this point. I give restaurants 3 chances especially when they're doing at least two items correctly. This restaurant is one of the busiest in downtown Oakland and I commend them for being around this long and servicing both China Town and the rest of Oakland. Will be back, just thought yall should know! Until next time!
