The icrecream is amazing! I love it every time I get it. This is my second time being here and I have nothing bad to say about the icrecream, at all! Items ordered/purchased: 2 orders of the Twist 1. The twist original 2. The twist rolled in toasted coconut The atmosphere was very "youth oriented" and "open". Everyone seemed to just come, have a good time. The restrooms were not very clean, which I understand with the access to the public but other than that, the ice cream tasted very well. I probably wouldn't sit and eat due to the cleanliness but this is one of those places, it's probably best to order and then head to your respective place. The customer service was really good though! They are super kind and nice people. They also allow you to sample the ice cream just to see if you would like it, before you order it, which is really nice! Overall, great place for ice cream, especially if you're looking for a lactose-free ice cream that still tastes amazing!

The food is pretty good and they have a lot of options to choose from. My boba tea was also delicious. Service is alright with no complaints. It's a cool little restaurant with options to dine in or carry out. I enjoy coming here!

Soft serves were delicious and drinks were fun and delicious! Service was quick and it's always so fun to watch your drinks being made. I got the Tokyo drink which was super fun and pretty to look at. But also very refreshing and delicious! Cute, little place that is Instagram worthy. Great for quick grabs or little dates. Definitely recommend!

They're located in a shopping plaza so they have plenty of parking. We stopped in on a Tuesday evening, so the place wasn't too busy, thankfully, for a weeknight. We had 6 in total for our party. I love the number of options that they have to offer and am glad they also had a variety of food. The wait staff was friendly and patient with the questions we had about our order. We did have to wait a while for our order of 7 deinks and 7 food items. The drinks came out first, then the ramen and then the noodles and rice. The drinks were delicious, and the galaxy teas were so pretty!! It was definitely difficult to select just one option to try. If you go with a large party and they're willing to share, I would definitely recommend going that route!! A must try spot if you're in the area.

This place could definitely use some redecorating. There was a mid match of themes going on and the place felt a little bit dingy. But don't judge a book by its cover! The food was delicious ! We had the chicken Katsu and Yakiudon. In both meals the chicken was tender and moist. The udon noodles were chewy and NOT mushy. The drinks were a bit too sweet even after changing the levels. I'll have to try the drinks again. BUT the STAR OF THE SHOW of the Soft Serve Ube!! ITS LACTOSE FREE and was delicious! It's didn't have a heavy ube taste where it just tastes like a potato but it had a more Ube Vanilla taste to it which I prefer. The mochis in the ice cream was also very soft and chewy!

Their brown sugar bobas are perfectly chewy so a good place to get your boba fix Tapsilog: good portion but a bit too salty Katsu: freshly fried, well breaded. Also good portions. Popcorn chicken: they know how to fry

What a cute little spot! I was able to walk right in and place my order in no time. I got the Tokyo boba tea with lychee jelly and passion fruit boba! 10/10 - Yum! I ordered the blue sky for my little one with passion fruit boba 10/10 - He loved it! The popcorn chicken was absolutely yummy! 10/10 - While I was flicking a few pics my son devoured them, thankfully I was able to enjoy the few bites I had... Sheesh! This was a delight for sure, I seen so many other things that I will for sure come back to try!
