Can't come to SGV without a visit to Salju Desserts. Absolutely the best shaved snow around…read more They're a tiny place, but clean with two seating areas. You can order either at a kiosk or go the the counter to order there. They offer an extensive selection of snow flavors, syrups, and toppings. There's also a variety of other desserts and beverages, but I have never been able to resist the snow. Be aware that the small size is large enough for 2 or 3 people to share, and the medium is bigger still. On the several times I've been here, service has always been both cheerful and speedy. A real pleasure. I live quite a distance away, an hour or more depending on traffic, but plan to return many more times. It's that good.

I usually only write reviews if I think the place deserves 5 stars, but now I will start reviewing…read moreeven when I think the place deserves lower ratings to help out the community of eaters pick the right choice! My friends and I chose Salju Dessert for some nice dessert because the ratings of this location seemed pretty good, but sadly we were disappointed. We chose the milk flavor and pandan. The milk flavor wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special. The pandan on the other hand was very bitter... We thought it may have been the toppings but figured out it was the pandan flavor. My friend described it as a medicine bitter taste, which I could agree on. We made a complaint and the employees happily switched it out for us for another milk flavor (maybe we should've chosen another flavor to try.) Toppings... the toppings were extremely expensive for such a small portion. It was around like $1.49 per topping??? Which is honestly pretty crazy. The toppings are set on the side in those small plastic ketchup containers. 4 Oreo cookies for $1.49, 2-3 buttercups smashed into pieces for $1.49, 1.5 strawberry sliced for $1.49, 1/8 of a banana sliced for $1.49... a container of chocolate syrup $1.49 you can imagine the rest that we added. Those portion sizes and prices are messed up lol The total was $35+ for 2 smalls with additional toppings. Overall, I don't think we will be coming back here for the shaved ice. There's definitely better options out there. The place was pretty busy too, maybe there's other items on the menu worth trying or they got bamboozled by the ratings... but in this economy, the presentation, taste, and price was not worth it and we wish we spent our money elsewhere. I usually take photos to share to friends on snap/ social media, but it was so disappointing I didn't even take any pics to show y'all. Very mid tier. Thank you to the staff who replaced our pandan though!

I have to say this bubble tea shop totally exceeded my expectations. The drinks here are genuinely…read morehigh quality, not those overly sweet artificial-tasting ones that flood so many places. Every cup is freshly made right when you order, and you can really tell they use premium tea leaves and fresh milk instead of cheap powder creamer. My favorite part is how well-balanced the flavors are. The tea aroma stays strong and clear, not buried under piles of sugar. The boba pearls are perfectly chewy -- soft on the inside with just the right bounce, never too hard or mushy. I love that they let you fully customize sugar level and ice amount, so you can make the drink exactly how you like it.

Love the coconut jelly here. Trying out the black rice coconut jelly and the durian coconut jelly.read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon for board games and boba with friends. The place was empty, asked…read morethe FOH person, and we're good to play. I got the Hawaiian Fruit Tea ($6 something) and the Popcorn Chicken ($10 something) which costed $18 something at the end. Overall, the vibes were great to play board games and food/drinks were readily available, but the drink and food were just okay/mediocre. Popcorn chicken has lesser quantity than I expected for the price but it was quite meaty. Hawaiian Fruit Tea sadly tastes watered down even with 25% sweet.

Phoenix dessert has a huge selection of Chinese desserts like fruit mochi, puddings and dessert…read moresoups. It was easy to find street parking coming here on Saturday evening. The dessert shop doesn't have its own seating but it's connected to their main restaurant and you're welcome to order it for dine in on the restaurant side. We were greeted by really friendly aunties as we stepped in, they were really excited to introduce us to various different menu items they had. They encouraged us to try the mango desserts since it's in season right now, so we got a large mango mochi and a mango and grapefruit pudding. The mango mochi was absolutely delicious, the mango was really juicy and sweet and the layer of mochi was soft and chewy. There was some cream in there but it didn't add much to it. The mango and grapefruit pudding was tasty as well. The mango pudding had good flavour that wasn't too sweet and the texture paired well with the chunks of mango and grapefruit. In my opinion the portions of the dessert are a bit small for the price. Overall a great no frill dessert place, would definitely come back to try their other desserts!

No sure why I whined about the prices…read more Seemed reasonable today. Had the durian with sticky rice and cream and noodle and was off the charts. Back up to 5 stars.

This place is hands down the spot for a refreshing late night dessert on a hot summer night!…read more A true hidden gem in MP, run by the sweetest couple. I've been coming here regularly and have tried so many things on their menu, and I honestly haven't been disappointed once. It's so hard to pick a favorite, but the sticky black rice with mango over shaved milky ice, with added taro balls, is definitely one of my top picks. The young coconut filled with delicious coconut jelly is another must try! They're open 7 days a week from 3 pm - 11 pm and weekends from 1 - 11 pm which makes it the perfect after dinner or late night dessert stop.

We ordered the Signature Coconut Jelly Dessert Soup and the Mango Pomelo Sago, plus the Sweet Ferment Rice and Mini Ball in Eggdrop Milk because it sounded too fun to skip. Coconut jelly was super silky and refreshing, not overly sweet, just right. Mango Pomelo Sago had that nice citrusy kick with creamy mango vibes, really addictive. The Eggdrop Milk one was cozy and nostalgic, those mini balls were chewy in a good way. Chill service, quick, no fuss. Low-key spot but solid desserts, would totally come back for a sweet fix :)

It's self ordering kiosk so it really depends on the person in front of you. It could take times but again you can order on the counter which is faster if you already know what you want. Simple way is asked for their recommendation I doubt no one near san Gabriel that doesn't know this place. But if you haven't then you are missing out.

Food: 9/10 Highly recommend the crème brûlée soufflé…read morepancake! Fluffy, light, smooth, and not too sweet. The mango soufflé was good but more tart than sweet. The lemon explosion tea (75% sweet) was super refreshing! I ordered takeout, so I can't say much about the service. Just keep in mind the food may take a little longer since it's made fresh. Ambiance: 10/10 Super spacious with chill vibes. Overall, definitely worth trying!

Dessert spot that specializes in soft serve and taiyaki. I came in at a time when it wasn't busy,…read moreso my service was really quick and friendly. The place was pretty chill as well. I had just eaten dinner so I've kept it pretty simple here. I ordered the swirl with pure milk and pineapple dole whip. A simple yet tasty and satisfying combo. The serving size was pretty generous, especially relative to the price. Just a great place to grab some quick soft serve in the area.

It looks aesthetically appealing in their photos online but it wasn't as good as it looked. Saw…read morethis off Yelp so decided to try it. We were the only customers. The girl working the counter was a young girl just getting by her summer day job. She was nice but timid. It was our first time there and a little more energy on her end could've been better. Ordered the ube swirl, pineapple dole whip, mung bean taiyaki, and a custard one togo. The taiyaki that goes onto the ice cream is a lot bigger than one we ordered to go. I thought it would be as big, but when I got it, it was so much smaller and flat. Also, the taiyaki that goes on top of the ice cream was old. It had been sitting there for a while or was made earlier as it was hard and difficult to bite. The red bean inside I also assumed was a paste like how they make the Japanese version, however there were whole pieces in there. It was okay, but I thought they'd be like paste. Overall, the only thing that was good was the ube swirl and the pineapple dole whip. It was also extremely warm in the shop, like no AC in the triple digits summer heat. Had to eat it elsewhere. I most likely won't be back.
