Usually reliable shaved ice spot in dun Huang plaza at Bellaire Chinatown…read more Food:5/5. Aesthetic pile of shaved ice, comes with one or two toppings and a drizzle depending on your size choice. 4/5 average value Service: 3/5. Not too important since it's not a fancy restaurant. However, the last time we went, it was cash only, and they had limited change in the register. You fill out a sheet with your shaved ice order and bring it to the front. Ambiance: 3/5. Not too crazy, there's a long bench in the middle and more tables on either side. Standard noise levels

I love Nu so much. I love their shaved ice it's delicious. I have gotten all of my family and…read morefriends hooked. That being said my only issue with the bellaire location is the cleanliness. It's always soooo dirty whenever we come. We brought family and it was just so gross. Everyone was using some spray cleaner we found on the counter to clean their own tables, and sometimes I don't want to be doing that when I come get dessert. Why are we cleaning and scrubbing down our seats before we sit??? Please Nu owners if you're reading this- I don't want the tables to be sticky anymore your desserts are so good but it's getting to the point where I want to go somewhere else because the inside is just sooooo dirty. Please!!! Maybe just start using disposable bowls for your dine in desserts as well? It's cleaner, and we don't have to stack dirty plates in a tub over the trash can. Idk just my thought process but still love the dessert.

They ran out of ube ice cream and asked what other ice cream I want in the drink so I chose honeydew. The staff was friendly and added another ube bear jelly for the inconvenience. Both drinks were delicious. The place is cute and there's more room in the back. I recommend this place and will definitely be back to try their other items.

I came to this location last night about 20 minutes until closing because I was craving taiyaki…read morefish waffle. They graciously were still making it and made it hot and fresh for me which was wonderful. I also had the Matcha soft serve in a cup, which was delightful. I always love the vibe of this place, I've been here several times when I used to live in Houston. I love how they have a uniquely crafted menu with strong contenders for both soft serve as well as snack snacks. They did not try to rush me out and closed right on time. I really appreciate the young guys working there being nice and friendly.

The restaurant is spacious with lots of seats and outlets, as well as good internet. Service here is always great, if they mess up an order they are always willing to make you a new one. Milks teas are always good, boba is always fresh The best things on the menu are the kravin fries and the popcorn chicken. I would recommend those to everyone that would give this place a try. Give Kravins a try!

I've been going to Kravin' for as long as I can remember, from the location in Chinatown to Katy…read more(before they closed) to Richmond. Today's the 1st time I felt compelled to express disappointment with my order -- the Smash Avocado. As you can see from the menu, the cup is tall and filled at least 75% full even without jellies. I ordered one without jellies. I was given this small cup filled no more than 1/2 full with avocado and the rest (50% or more) was just crushed ice. The picture shows the drink as made before any eating/stirring. Even without the jellies, honestly it was way too empty/little. I swing by Kravin' (Richmond) at least 3-4x a month and the employees are always sweet; the drinks are great. I think they even know my face by now 'cause sometimes I just pull up and I'm asked, "Same thing?" Obviously I like Kravin' a lot, but I was honestly disappointed by today's visit at Chinatown.

We even had my friend's wedding catered by them, and it was such a hit. We scheduled a tasting with the store manager, got to try all their teas and toppings, and picked our favorites. Delivery was smooth, setup was quick, and guests loved it. Such a unique and memorable experience!

Ube salted bread was alright too. Never getting the kream spanner again. Barely tasted the pistachio. Also had the option to add 2 shots of espresso. Coffee was good but the overall texture of the drink was too thick. I'll be back to try other pastries!

The drinks were pretty expensive with $8 prices and I got the yuzu lemonade which was definitely overpriced and not as flavorful as I was hoping.

Super cute little place behind the H mart. They went with a cozy pink cafe vibe. It is slightly run…read moredown in that the pink pleather seating is peeling but that probably has to do with it being cute and not exactly make for high traffic restaurant seating. But still kinda cute. Ordering is done through a kiosk. There are drinks available, juice style drinks and boba teas. We got one of each and they were tasty. As far as the soufflé pancakes: they were tasty, but by no means freshly made. There was no way they could have been freshly made when they came out quicker than the drinks. I suspected they were microwaved or reheated in some way. BUT I stress, they are still good. This is more of a dessert place than a brunch place as it lacks protein options.

Their fruit teas mostly come with real fruit, and is actually refreshing instead of overly sweet/making you more thirsty. Inside is very busy and not a lot of seating depending on the time of day and what day, however, ordering and delivery is fast.

You can taste a nice balance between the lychee jelly and strawberry purée. 9/10 Mango Breeze - 25% sugar: Still on the sweeter side, but really enjoyable if you're craving something sweet. Great choice if you love mango drinks. 9/10 Service: Always excellent. Staff has consistently been friendly and efficient. 10/10

The desserts here are seriously delicious! The cakes are definitely the highlight for me --…read morebeautifully tempting, fragrant, rich, and creamy, with just the right amount of sweetness. The coffee and milk tea are also pretty good. Most of the menu consists of desserts, and there are quite a few options that vegetarians can enjoy. Despite how busy this place gets, the service is surprisingly efficient. The line moves at a reasonable pace, orders are handled quickly, and the staff are consistently polite and professional. What I particularly appreciate is that everyone is treated equally, regardless of who they are. Even when four police officers arrived together, they still waited in line like everyone else. And here comes the most unexpected part of my visit: I actually ran into Steven Adams of the Houston Rockets! I was genuinely surprised to see an NBA player here with his girlfriend. What impressed me even more was how down-to-earth and friendly he seemed. They patiently waited in line like everyone else, and when the item they wanted turned out to be unavailable, they simply left without making a fuss. That little moment left a really positive impression on me. The location is convenient, with a spacious parking lot right in front. Inside, the shop is bright, nicely decorated, and roomy enough to sit back and enjoy your desserts comfortably. The layout is wheelchair-accessible, with plenty of space to move around. There are also a few outdoor tables for those who prefer sitting outside. Even when the place is packed, the noise level is still manageable, so you can actually enjoy a conversation without feeling overwhelmed by the crowd. Overall, this place gets a big thumbs-up from me for its delicious desserts, efficient service, and welcoming atmosphere. It's not just the food that makes the experience enjoyable, but also the way the staff treat their customers. If I'm ever back in Houston, this will definitely be on my list of places to revisit. I'll happily recommend it to friends, too!

One of my favorite little spots to grab a matcha! I love the insane variety of matchas they have on…read morethe menu because apparently having just one or two good options would be far too easy. And if I'm with my boyfriend, he always spoils me and allows me to get 2 (one for the next day, of course)! One of my favorites is the Biscoff Banana Pudding Matcha. It's basically a dessert and a pick-me-up in one, so obviously I'm going to support that kind of decision-making. It's creamy, sweet, and with the crunchy textures, it's just such a fun combination. The other thing I am OBSESSED with here is the croffles! Easily one of the best I've ever had. They're super fresh, buttery, and have the perfect texture. But honestly, the cream they put on top is what really gets me. It's not overly sweet or super heavy, which I appreciate because I would like to enjoy my dessert without downing a whole glass of water... or maybe... a matcha? lol My boyfriend and I like coming here every now and then and sharing a croffle (because apparently we are capable of sharing things), and we love the indoor and outdoor seating areas too. It's such a cute little spot to hang out, grab a drink, eat something sweet, and just chill. Now for the one downside: the parking. If you know, you know. The parking situation is... less than ideal, especially considering this is Bellaire. But honestly, if you're coming here to grab a drink, eat, play on the claw arcade, and get a dessert, I'd say it's worth surviving the parking chaos. Pro tip: CALL AHEAD AND ASK IF THEY STILL HAVE CROFFLES! I learned this lesson the hard way. One time, I brought a large group of friends here after dinner specifically so everyone could try the croffles... only for us to find out they had just run out. SAD! You can imagine my devastation after hyping them up. They actually felt really bad and told us that we could call ahead next time to check if they still had any available, which I thought was incredibly nice of them. So now I'm passing that wisdom along because I refuse to let anyone else experience the heartbreak of arriving croffle-less. Overall, such a cute spot with great matcha, delicious croffles, and a fun little atmosphere. Just prepare yourself mentally for the parking situation and CALL AHEAD FOR THE CROFFLES!!!
