Why keep the store open when half the menu items aren't available? No halo halo, tandoori chicken, duck, lychee jelly, buns, noodles, dumplings, spring rolls, you name it. I had to list out 10+ different items just to find something off the menu that they were still serving. I've never had to wait over half an hour just for a banh mi and fruit tea. There was only one couple waiting for their to-go order who came in 10 minutes after I ordered yet they got their food/drink before I did. It took forever just to get the sandwich to come out and they didn't even toast the bun which I don't get what caused the hold up on that when it takes only a few minutes to slap toppings on. It took 20 minutes just for the fruit tea to come out which only takes a few minutes to make. The worker apologized about the wait and made an excuse that there were so many orders while we were the only customers ordering when the restaurant was dead. The tables and everything else inside are also really dirty. The fruit tea tastes like sugar water, the dessert was just a bunch of artificial canned jelly and milk, and the sandwich definitely used bad meat that was sitting out. There was not a single item that was good and definitely not worth the wait. The sandwich also gave my dad food poisoning.

This was actually my 2nd visit to 5t Ice. The very first visit, the door was sticky and it looked dark inside, so we thought they were closed even though there were employees in there and were about to leave. Second time was a charm for sure!..which left me feeling overwhelmed and excited about the choices. This review is mostly about my recent visit. I'll briefly describe my first visit in 2019, which was a little disappointing. I didn't know what to order and randomly picked something with stale brownies/cookies and chocolate ice cream. We also got some soft serve, which they no longer have. The snack were also a little stale as well, so I won't even get into that. 6/26/24 visit: I literally walked in there and asked if they had cheese foam and she said YES (but that it is new and not on the menu yet)! I wasn't expecting her to say yes AND they have other drinks I've been wanting to try (in general) AND they have ube foam. I can't even....she was laughing at how speechless and confused I was with all the options. Ultimately, I asked her if I can have the iced Vietnamese coffee with cheese foam, basically created my own drink (typical me....). The drink was absolutely amazing, with a very strong coffee flavor, the way I love it. They do carry different snacks (Japanese cheesecake, ube cake, pre-packaged croissant, etc.), but I'm definitely more interested in the drinks. I love that they are keeping up with the trends, so I definitely will return for a 4th and 5th (etc.) visit to try the coconut matcha foam and the ube foam. The location itself is kind of in the corner of the structure. It looks a little bit like a "hole in the wall" type place, but this time, I wasn't fulled, I made sure to order the right thing. Also, it helped that the employee was super nice and helpful...I do wish I got her name, but I was just too busy being overwhelmed and excited.

Taho
Mary L.

If you are craving for Filipino tasting TAHO, this is the best place you can go to! It tastes soooo similar to our favorite breakfast/dessert! No ginger taste, same great texture! You can buy it small or large container. It may be far from our home, but worth driving! They even have the other fares like filipino ice creams, buko pandan, kinda binatog delicacy, halo halo, mais con yelo, etc! Check them out & their other vietnamese food/snacks!

Always my favorite go to place. They have a lot of great vietnamese fast food here. Love their avocado smash. The store is small so there is not a lot of seating place but one table. They have quite a selection of different vietnamese food every weekend.

Halo halo
Scott T.

Thanks to the PBS kids app my three year old really needed to try halo halo. This was the closet place I could find and I'm glad we made the trip. Very interesting dessert and I definitely finished it off, but lack a comparison to judge if it's representative of what a Filipino restaurant would serve (my friend recommended a spot in Woodbridge which I'll have to try). Expect a small business vibe that is optimized more for a grab and go than dine in experience (don't judge a book by its cover here). They were bustling with people grabbing drinks, food, and desserts. Preschooler was happy, I was happy, what more do you need?

Cheesecake
Michael N.

I came here for fun to try some drinks. I saw they got many good tasting drinks, such as ube and mango. Surprisingly, they have milkshakes too. However, my milkshake was not satisfying. It tasted more like just Oreos and milk rather than good ice cream. I wouldn't recommend getting this item. My friend got an ube smoothie and she said it was delicious! They used magnolia ice cream, so you know it's gonna be good! I'd come back here to try other drinks if it was closer to me. This isn't a dine in place and the restroom apparently doesn't work. The inside is a little messy with all the supplies they have. If you don't care about the interior, then this is a must try place for drinks.

First time coming here since they moved from Chantilly and changed their name. I stopped really sick after eating a Banh bao that they had refrigerated and reheated. I'm sure the baos came from 3rd party supplier...but they sit out all day then whatever is left, they refrigerate and sell. I don't fault them but I've learned to only buy them same day, never if it's refrigerated. Their Banh mi sandwiches are made to order so I never had issues and really enjoyed them. I ordered a house Banh mi and halo halo....asked for extra pate. The kid said ok. He made the halo halo, I didn't see the traditional flan on top so I asked him. He said he don't put it on unless it's requested??? Ok I then requested it. He looks around and doesn't find any and the lady in the back said something to him in Vietnamese and he tells me they are out. I took it as is...it was still good...just a little disappointed that you have to request it since traditional halo halo has it on top. Banh mi literally had one thin slice of ham, one slice of cha lua, and some pate. I didn't even see the roasted red pork or the mayo....and remember I asked for extra pate. That definitely didn't happen. I heard the kid tell her house banh mi and nothing else. So once again, they have failed me. I will not go back.

Ube Milkshake
Jacques I.

5t Ice was a good dessert shop, featuring Asian flavors and treats. Located in northern Virginia in a retail strip, near major shops, it's easy to find and there's something for everyone here to enjoy. I visited 5t Ice for a drink and saw that they had an ube milkshake, which I had to try since I love ube anything! I visited soon after it opened on a weekday and was the only customer inside at the time, so there was no wait. The shop itself is small, with only takeout offered. There was no room for dining inside. My ube milkshake was good, especially since it was made with ube ice cream. It had a good consistency of milk to ice cream, so it was blended perfectly. Because it was a milkshake, it was definitely on the heavier side, so I ended up drinking this shake in two days. I loved how creamy the ube ice cream was! In addition to a variety of drinks, from boba teas, to smoothies and shakes, they also had desserts like pandan cake slices, cheesecakes, etc. Glad to have checked out 5t Ice while in town.

Cafe Moment - Strawberry Cheesecake

I got the croffle banana Nutella, which came loaded with Nutella, whipped cream, and a nice touch…read moreof banana slices. Overall, it's sweet but an absolute must-get -- somehow the croffle stays super crispy despite being absolutely drenched in Nutella. The tiramisu snow, on the other hand, didn't quite hit the same. It was topped with chocolate ice cream, which I actually think hurt the dish. The snow itself is super soft and fluffy, but paired with the rich chocolate ice cream, it made the snow taste almost icy in comparison. Separately, the snow is great -- together, not my favorite combo. I also tried the Thai tea with bubbles, just to sample their drinks. Unfortunately, the bubbles weren't the texture I like, and the Thai tea had an artificial taste. I ordered it less sweet (I usually prefer my drinks a lot less sweet than standard), but after the sugar overload from the other desserts, it just wasn't enjoyable. I'd definitely come back for the croffle and to try their "ade" drinks, but I'm not sure I'd get the snow again.

I decided to check out Cafe Moment because I had a random craving for bingsu. When my husband and I…read morewent to the self ordering kiosk, we noticed a very pungent sewage smell in the hallway area. The floor was also very sticky. We ordered the Greentea Mochi Snowflake and were pretty disappointed. I was hoping that the green tea flavor would be more of a matcha flavor but that wasn't the case. I like the taste of green tea so I wouldn't have minded but the bingsu was so sweet, I could barely taste any green tea flavor. The best part about the bingsu was the corn flakes and mochi bits but I don't even like corn flakes. The portion was pretty generous and could easily be shared with 2-3 people, which would be nice if the bingsu was actually good. We ended up only eating less than half of it. Would I go back? : Definitely not. I've never had a bad bingsu before and unfortunately this will be the first. We ended up going to Chateau de Chantilly Cafe afterwards because of how unsatisfied we were with our experience.

This place is a lovely spot! My friend and I first stumbled upon it while trying to find a cafe to…read moresit and catch up, and I loved it so much I dragged my husband back at a later date. The decor makes you think of what you'd find at an eccentric great aunt's home, but in a positive way. Each area has its own mini aesthetic that contributes to the entire place; in the back are color themed books that give it a more serious look, while upstairs is more whimsical in it's random assortment of chairs and couches. The food is in appealing display cases downstairs. The stand out pastries for me are the tiramisu filled cronuts. Drinks wise, they have the typical cafe fare but excitingly so they also have Colombe on draft which I will always be excited about. I recommend this place to grab a snack and socialize!

First of all, it's such a cute spot, the attention to detail alone makes it worth visiting. The music is always on point (and not too loud), so it's perfect if you want to study or get some work done. They also have outdoor seating, plus a not-so-secret second floor where you can usually find a cozy spot. I've ordered cakes from here multiple times, and they're incredibly smooth and not overly sweet, and honestly, it's hard to go back to typical American cakes after trying these. Everything just feels thoughtfully made. The service is just as impressive, everyone seems really knowledgeable about the menu and genuinely willing to help you decide on the perfect order (especially if you're indecisive like me). I wish I had taken more photos from all the times I've been, but that probably says enough. You really can't go wrong with anything on their menu.
