    Always a great place to pick up some Happy Ice. When in town my kids love walking down Melrose. And this is one of the must stop. Place is cute and friendly staff. Happy Ice has great taste and flavors. Parking is street but make sure you read the signs.

    I had to go try the strawberry shortcake and it was so good cant wait to go again. As always the service was amazing.

    Happy Ice has been consistently amazing every time I've gone. The flavors they offer are awesome and my favorite is the All Star flavor. I look forward to their ice cream every time I go

    What We Ordered: -Rainbow Rocket (Kids Size) $6.00 -Summer Time (Regular) $8.00 Finally made it! I promised my son all summer we would come here. We visited after the Tesla Diner (terrible, btw). I was terribly indecisive because everything looked so good. The staff member was very helpful and let me try a few flavors. I really wanted the Bomb Pop, but my wife insisted I get Summer Time. As soon as I got it, she changed her mind about eating it.. So I was stuck with a large portion! The Rainbow Rocket had all the flavors mixed together. It was beautiful and tasty! Summer Time had Mango Tango, Sweet Watermelon, and Strawberry Lemonade. We will definitely be back! The regular size was a bit much for me, especially after lunch. I'll probably get the kids size next time if I'm eating alone.

    After trying Happy Ice at Coachella I knew I had to come stop by the shop. This is such a special family owned spot that 100% deserves the hype. They have amazing customer service and you can tell the staff truly cares. The ice is unlike any other kind of shaved ice dessert I've had before. It's somehow creamy and smooth. The fruit flavors are so yummy and taste natural. If I could give over 5 stars I would because Happy Ice made me very happy:)

    I've had this place saved for a long while and thankfully they were in my area with their truck. I had the Rainbow Rocket which reminds me of a rainbow sorbet flavor which I like a lot!! I love they have a kid size too!

    Very poor service and completely standoffish service wanted to cancel my order. I ordered the Dole Whip and they didn't have certain things. The guy at the register was very unprofessional, no customer service whatsoever. Very transactional! The team members behind him were just talking not engaging with guest. They were just laughing as he struggled to communicate they were close to being out of vanilla ice. They definitely need better leadership. The product is so good but I don't see myself coming back.

    So tasty!! I love the flavor and texture of this ice it's really nice I definitely would recommend this place for a refreshing sweet treat!

    Besides the franchise Rita's, which there aren't many in LA, there aren't really that many places you can find water ice treats in this area. I love the flavors they offer, and the combo flavors they have if you can't make up your mind. This is amazingly refreshing during the hot summer. The spot is small, but it's in a cool part of LA for tourists.

    Fantastic customer service great ice great place. We were warmly greeted and given generous portions. Ray was amazing and definitely should be given employee of the month and if they don't award that they should make one just for him. The cashier was very accommodating for my larger party asking for samples. Could not recommend more!!

    The dairy vanilla mixed with the tart Ice is absolutely delightful. For my friends that don't do dairy the ability to have a non-dairy vanilla mixed is a perfect balance. We haven't been inside this place but we've ordered it delivered about six times in the past five months it's turned into our new addiction. Every flavor is so good but All-star and Founder are our go-tos! If you have t tried it you're missing out.

    Chelsea M.

    Really good! And very refreshing. I got cherry & strawberry mix and it very flavorful without being too sweet. There was no trash in there so I wasn't sure where to put my trash when we finished so I took it with me our total was $8 for a small one plus tip. Would definitely come back and explore more flavors

    The person behind the counter, I forgot to ask his name...was so friendly! He was patient and easily approachable. He asked how we heard about Happy Ice, I told him I was following them for a while but never got a chance to try until they became a brick and mortar. The store was clean. No trash on the floor, the tables were not sticky. There are no trash cans. They will take your trash for you. We got a total of 4 flavors. Sweet Watermelon Strawberry Lemonade All Star Cheery Bomb w/ soft Stack Soft Stack is the "custard" on the bottom of the cup and on top vs Soft Top is only on top. I wish I read that the custard was made from oat milk. I'm not an oak milk person so it actually ruined it a bit for me. I want to say hands down the All Star was the best. I should have had the pineapple/cherry one. I think it's call time machine, I don't remember but I'm sure it's the same as the Big Sticks from the ice cream trucks. Overall I think it was a fun experience and had great photo opportunities for my kids. Especially since we came dressed in our Tet (Chinese New Year) attire (Ao Dai). I had great pictures! Would I go back yes, for the other flavors!

    Ask the Community - Happy Ice

    Does Happy Ice take cash or are they card only?

    Card only.

    What are the truck locations? I don't see them on the website.

    Where is it usually set up?

    There's an actual store front on Melrose, follow their IG for truck locations.

    Is the soft serve vegan?

    Yes :)

    Is Happy Ice Keto friendly, I'm really hoping you say yes 🤞🏾?

    Sadly not at all. I'm from just outside Philly and it's basically sugar water. I'm on the Keto bus too and frozen raspberries with stevia have been my best friend. Best wishes finding some treats.

    Does any of their products contain any soy? I really wanna try it but I have food allergies ☹️

    No, but some of their products include oat milk.

    How is the parking?

    Street parking. We have gone close to closing and we easily found parking. On Melrose or right passed the building on side street. Enjoy !

    College Boy Cheesesteaks may be my new favorite food truck! I have driven by on Sunset Boulevard…read moremany times but this past week was feeeeeling those munchies. They park near the corner of LaBrea and Sunset, setting up a few high top tables for anyone who needs immediate satiation to their hunger. I rolled up expecting young people to be serving but it was actually a very professional vibe. They were very friendly and welcoming, with the eats taking about 15 minutes to cook up. I hadn't had a Philly Cheesesteak in a minute and loved them from here. It made me feel better to find out there are from Philadelphia originally moving here in 2016 and they just missed their hometown creation. I get it...I am still seeking a good hometown Chicago hot dog out here. The Alumni Steak ($17) is their classic Cheesesteak with a bunch of fried onions on top - we liked this. I also tried their Mushrom Major Steak ($19) and loved that one. In all their cheeseteaks they use black angus beef and Amoroso rolls, but this one also includes a bunch of mushrooms sauteed in their secret sauce in the mix. Both were stuffed with protein and generously sized sandwiches! Great experience and delicious! My friends and I definitely plan on going by College Boy Cheesesteaks again soon.

    I ordered off DoorDash so I can't speak about location, ambience or service but I have friends near…read moretheir Highland location and it's a great spot for this for sure! Although I'm guessing can be packed, busy and possible parking issues over there since it's heart of Hollywood so take that into account if driving. I will say from placing my order to delivery it was about an hour. If you do plan on going there, probably order ahead for pick up and time it. Or just do delivery because you can reheat it. So if you're in a time crunch probably not the fastest spot to order from but it's worth it either way. Hopefully the time means they're busy and great to see such a place thriving if so! Everything I had was absolutely delicious! So flavourful and I got a few things that I haven't had before from other Himalayan spots like the hakka noodles and jhol momo. My usual spot for Himalayan was always Himalayan House which is a decent but this truck is now my go-to for Himalayan food. Chicken chilly is one of my favourite dishes and this one was so balanced and spiced to perfection! Absolutely delicious and the chilly momo were just as great! The madras, butter chicken & jhol momo were sensational and the sauces were so comforting and silky. Everything had such different flavour and profile that it was great switching bites between them for the variety. The hakka noodles were great with a really lovely spice blend and just enough heat. I also love when a place has pani puri so I HAD to get that. One of my faves and oddly sometimes hard to find around LA. Overall, this was an excellent spot!! If you've got the time and willing to wait (or order ahead), it's absolutely delish and worth every second! Plus the reheat-ability for leftovers (if you even have them after first bite) is a major plus too. I really hope they do well and stick around because going to Hollywood to hangout with friends this will be a pre-hangout spot to eat in my rotation due to location/general area of service.

    I made a Yelp account just so I could leave a review about this food truck…read more I have been rapidly making my way through their entire menu, and everything I've ordered has tasted absolutely amazing. Both halal and vegan options are equally delicious! Spice level: perfect Ambience: immaculate (they often play music outside the truck) Service: fast! Usually around 15min The guys that run this place are the sweetest, and I love that they bounce between locations every other day. It makes it feel like a little adventure whenever I spot the truck!

The double smash cheeseburger was excellent -- crispy edges, juicy beef, perfectly melted cheese, and great flavor overall. One of the better halal smash burgers I've had in LA. The Berlin döner wrap was packed and flavorful. The meat was tender and well-seasoned, wrapped with fresh ingredients and balanced sauces. Very satisfying and felt authentic. The beef rice pilaf was comforting and rich. The beef was tender, the rice was fluffy and fragrant, and the seasoning was just right. A solid, hearty dish done properly. The standout for me was the Boss Lagman -- bold flavors, generous portions, and perfectly cooked noodles. The sauce had depth, the beef was plentiful, and everything came together beautifully. Definitely a must-order. Overall, great halal food, strong flavors, and generous portions. You can tell they care about quality and consistency. If you're in Hollywood and want halal comfort food with variety, Navat Halal is absolutely worth a visit. Will be back for sure.

They're better than Slapfish but Slapfish doesn't chunk my wallet for one sandwich.

    [Review #522] 2020 Yelp 100 Challenge (26/100)…read more Street Kitchen is one of the few food trucks at The Reserve that I haven't tried, & in some ways I wished I hadn't. The truck offers a fusion of Mex-Cali style gourmet comfort food... can a food truck serve Kobe beef, let alone good filet mignon? Really?! The menu looks tempting but the prices are exorbitant to the portion. $25 for a Lobster Quesadilla... what!?! I can't image how much lobster you get for that price, even Cousins Maine Lobster Food Truck's & Roll'n Lobster Food Truck's are half that. :-O It was late into lunch & I had a meeting so I ordered the KOBE PATTY MELT (kobe patty, sharp cheddar cheese, brioche toast). Ordering was fast & friendly, however, it was a bit of wait for delivery. My co-worker obviously received his loaded fries before me because he was ahead of me. There were 2 customers behind me that received their order before me. \(`0´)/WTH!?! When I finally got my sandwich, I was not impressed. It just looks like a regular burger patty. Kobe beef is a delicacy, known & valued for its fatty, well-marbled texture, flavor, & tenderness. Kobe beef is Wagyu beef from the Tajima strain of Japanese Black cattle, raised in Japan's Hyōgo Prefecture. If this is Kobe, which it isn't, then it's an injustice to the cow to be made as a patty melt; due to its scarcity, there are only 9 restaurants that serve Kobe beef as far as I'm aware of. It could be Wagyu, but it's not of quality like HiHo Cheeseburger, & my patty was overcooked... it might have tasted better at medium or medium-well. This patty melt didn't have any of the qualities of real Kobe beef, nor Wagyu beef, which I have had many times in different variations. The sharp cheddar provided a nice pungent flavor to the sandwich & the brioche toast held up well from start to finish, as it should since the meat was neither tender or juicy. It's a decent patty melt that needs to be renamed/named properly because calling this Kobe is a misnomer due to its scarcity. A touch of caramelized onions would also add some sweetness & texture to contrast the saltiness of the cheese. I felt the sandwich curbed my hunger pangs but didn't satisfy the foodie in me. With remarkably higher prices that most of the regular trucks, I do not find myself tempted to try their menu again. Recommended: Kobe Patty Melt that's not authentic Kobe.
