Menus at bubble tea shops can be overwhelming with all the choices, but here it's well-organized: photos and descriptions of the drinks with numbers for easy ordering. Staff are very welcoming and can help you decide what to order if you need recommendations. I had the lychee Jazzy Mist with lychee jelly. I went with 75% sweetness since that's what is recommended. It ended up being too a little sweet for my liking, so I would just order a lower sweetness level next time. Despite that I did enjoy the flavor and the texture of the jelly. I look forward to coming here next time I'm in town and sampling more of the menu!

Notably, the liberty to personalize orders with numerous topping choices, adjustable sugar content, and customizable ice levels resonates with me. The mobile application exhibits impressive streamlining and intuitive design, rendering the ordering process effortless. I hold particular fondness for their lychee and rose beverages, which consistently meet expectations. Furthermore, I have sampled the Blue Magic Yakult, Tropical Paradise, Jasmine Blossom, among others, all of which are delectable and delightful. The store's ambiance is charming, complete with ample seating arrangements. Given its numerous strengths, I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment and intend to revisit.

I've been a faithful customer since before she even had a storefront and she couldn't even bother to reply. I was hoping to keep my experience private to give her time to address the peoblem. But no response. "Hi Mama, I just wanted to make you aware of something that happened this evening. We have been faithful customers since you were working out of the commercial kitchen on 36th one day a week. We have never had a bad experience until today. We bought a box of 10 minis for $17 and every one of them was absolutely horrible. They were not the lovely fluffy, lightly sweet malasadas we have come to know and love. They were condensed, sour, flat, burnt messes that sugar wouldn't even stick to. There were 2 very young, very lovey girls working in the store tonight, but obviously they need more training regarding your standards, because I know after years of buying your product this is not your expectation. Bad experiences like this quickly ruin a business' reputation, so I wanted to make you aware so you can address it. Thank you and God Bless."

Taiyaki is a delicious Japanese street food. A fish shaped pastry stuffed with filling like read…read morebean paste & custard. In the warmer months the taiyaki are also stuffed with soft serve ice cream. This street food has become popular in the USA with dedicated taiyaki ice cream spots popping up, and we finally have a shop in Alaska that serves this delectable treat. Softer opened at the end of December in the Diamond center food court. I went to check them out in February, and the taiyaki were fresh, crispy, and had a decent amount of filling. Now the taiyaki wasn't the same consistency as the ones I had in Japan, but it's not really fair to compare things in Alaska to their country of origin. The texture wasn't 100% correct, but it was pretty nicely crispy, and not overly chewy. I had heard from a few other people that when they went the texture wasn't correct & too chewy so consistency may be a bit of an issue, but they are a new business to that can be rectified. The soft serve ice cream was also very good. I ordered 2 "upside down" Taiyaki ice creams which comes with choice of 2 toppings. You can just order a Taiyaki filled with ice cream which doesn't come on a cup, or the Taiyaki pastry on its own without ice cream. If you're not feeling the Taiyaki you can also just get the soft serve ice cream, a milkshake, or a snow bowl (this looks like a variation of bingsu). I ordered chocolate soft serve with a Nutella filled Taiyaki topped with sprinkles, and a matcha/chocolate swirl soft serve with an ube filled Taiyaki topped with Oreo & graham cracker crumbs. The portion size on the soft serve was good for the price ($7). The chocolate ice cream was standard chocolate soft serve, but I really liked the Nutella taiyaki. The matcha ice cream actually had a strong, and not overly artificial matcha tea flavor. Next time I won't get it swirled with chocolate as the chocolate overpowered the matcha. I don't know if I'd get the ube filled taiyaki again. The ube filling was pretty artificial so it's not my preference. The toppings were also fairly sparse, but that doesn't really matter to me. Overall it's a great treat. Service was quick when we went. There was no line, and you just order at a kiosk & the person makes what you order. It's located right in the mall food court by the ice rink so if you're looking for ambiance it's not really going to be this place. I definitely will be back to get some Taiyaki ice cream again, and maybe try their snow bowls. Excited to have something different in Anchorage! This place is definitely a good spot next time you want some soft serve ice cream.

Finally they were parked in Eagle River outside of revive market on an afternoon. I knew it was my chance to beat the rush & I was right! They had all their options available. I ordered spicy beef piroshki, spicy chicken piroshki, beef piroshki & pelmeni. The piroshki were delicious! Served hot, and were a good sized portion. The pelmeni were also very tasty, but I wish they had better hot sauce options & didn't charge extra for sour cream. Overall the food is very good though a bit on the pricey side. It's cool to have a food truck in town that offers something different. It's definitely a popular truck so sometimes the lines are very long, and they do frequently sell out of items. A good place to try them is the Spenard food truck carnival on Thursday afternoons in the Koots parking lot. This is Russian comfort food at its finest!
