Service by the two young ladies was amazing! They really recommended the perfect flavors for my cravings. They also prepared my order very fast and the quality of the ice cream itself is superb. DEFINITELY recommend this place for a quick treat or a snack after the movies. read more

I rarely ever go on here secret critique restaurants are small shops out of respect. I usually tend to talk directly to the people, but this is now the second time I've walked into ice cream chef I had the worst experience possible. A few years ago I came in and the person working the front was extremely rude to me. Let me know I contact with me, didn't greet me, we had to get their attention and when we did, they gave attitude. I ended up walking out and they're not purchasing anything. Years ago when they first opened, I used to work in one of the nearby shops and people that were so kind and reall I used to genuinely care about and support this business, but the customer service has steadily declined. Today, I walked in with my service animal. As soon as we entered, he lay down because it was extremely hot outside. Like most dogs, he was curious about the smells around him, but he remained calm and under control. The employees at the front asked whether he was a service animal, and I told them that he was. While I was trying to place my order on the tablet, no one offered to help me. My dog walked a few steps away from me while still attached to his leash. There were no other customers in the shop. One of the employees told me that if my dog continued to pull against the leash, she would have to ask me to leave. After noticing my reaction, she quietly added that I could leave him outside. I simply replied, "No, thank you," and walked out. I understand the importance of maintaining health and safety standards and following company policies, but the way this situation was handled felt unnecessary and unwelcoming. My dog was not bothering anyone, and there wasn't a single customer in the store. Businesses should also understand that service animals are protected under the law and generally cannot be excluded simply because they are present. A service animal must be under the handler's control, but asking someone to leave under these circumstances was disappointing. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. read more

My daughter wanted ice cream after the movies and we decided to give this place a try since it is in the same plaza and it was SO GOOD! We got the PB Chocolate and Nutella and we were both very happy with our choices. They are like $10 each but as a reward treat it is totally worth it! There was only one staff member but she was very kind and helpful! She noticed a customer had their dog outside and offered a cup of water for her pup which was so thoughtful!! We took our ice cream to go and it seems most people did but they do have high seating for you to enjoy your ice cream there . read more

Ice Cream Chef - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - West Covina, California

Felt like a roll ice cream after seeing it on YouTube recently. This is one of the few places within a reasonable distance from home. It's located in a plaza off Lake Dr. next to an Edward's theater. We came on a weekend afternoon and the place was empty. There are some counter seating against the wall under some Edison string lights (which should be dusted by the way) There's a kiosk you can take credit card or Apple Pay, so orders have to be placed there too. The order took about 2 minutes to make. It's creamy, richer and firmer than store bought or scooped ice cream. Good taste and texture, but because of the roll gimmick, it's pricier than other places. At nearly $10. per order, it's not something I would get often, but fun for kids to watch and try. read more

My daughter and I were craving ice cream after we watched a movie at Edward Regal Cinema. It was one of those hot days. Ice cream Chef is located near the cinema which is ideal. The shop has both indoor and outdoor seating. It is very clean and has casual vibes. Their ice cream is a gourmet rolled type. You can customize your ice cream by choosing your base, fillers, and adding your favorite fruit or toppings. They have many great flavors. We chose the following: - Cookies & Cream with fresh banana and less whipped cream. It was rich and creamy, and very artistic. - Nutella with strawberry, banana, chocolate syrup and kitkat with less whipped cream It was artistic, colorful, rich and really delicious. The staff were very welcoming and sweet. We had a great experience at Ice Cream Chef. I will be back to try more flavors. read more

Honestly this place would probably get a five star out of me but the girl who works here has zero customer service and an attitude. When I walk into a novelty food shop I would appreciate being greeted with at-least a smile. She had a rude tone and her face made her look upset. If you don't like your job find a different one. Simple. Good luck to this place. This is the last time I come here. read more

I'm still giving it 5 stars even though the customer service is consistently bad and the employees literally always look like they hate their lives. Half the time they wanna act like the places isn't even open and ignore that you're even in the store. The 5 stars, however, is for the ice cream as it is sooo good! If they could just up the customer service and possibly switched to a better location seeing so it seems like they don't give much business due to being in an odd spot however, the lack of business could have nothing to do with the customer service also. Also, another disappointing factor would be that they refuse to take your order unless you're paying cash even if there's no one in the store besides you. read more

Rolled ice cream is hard to find nowadays and I'm glad there's a gem in the neighborhood. The flavor options are on the minimal side and so are the toppings, but they did a great job nailing the texture and flavor of the actual ice cream. It was super creamy, thick, and not too sweet. Service was quick and friendly. There are a couple of bar tops you can sit on inside to eat your sweet treat. I would return to try their other flavors. read more

Came here last December. This is located in the same plaza as the movie theaters. I love that they have the half and half option available. The ice cream takes about four minutes of preparation since they make it as you order. It's pretty cool to see how they make/mix them. I got the chocolate milk and vanilla milk. The flavors are good and tastes authentic. I can definitely feel the difference in texture since they mix and roll it up this way. It's not light and fluffy like regular ice cream. This is dense and packed in a good way. My mom got the taro and vanilla and she liked it. It's a bit pricey in my opinion, but I feel like most ice cream places are in this price range nowadays. I wish they have more flavors to choose from. If I'm in the area, I would consider trying it again. read more

The ice cream rolls were sooooo gooodd!!! I absolutely loved it! My server Eralyne hooked it up for real! She was awesome sauce and I even put all my friends on to come by and try this amazing ice cream! I was in the store about a week ago... and let me say I've been there for 3 times already... Hmphhh... just craving it already . Ugh. I got after watching TOY STORY 5 and it was so yummy. Better yet when I walked in... the song started .. "Everybody wants to rule the world." Holy cow. Cow is PUN INTENDED. It was literally cinema. I felt like I was in a movie as Era rolled the ice cream. The beat matched with the roll. Let's just say it was the cherry on top hehe.. pun NOT intended bc it was actually so yummy in my tummy. heh. Love this place and I recommend it to absolutely anyone in this proximity. Yay! I also saw Tung Tung Sahur and it made my day. My daughter was even like "OMG ITS TUNG TUNG" That was a funny epic moment. REEEEEEE.. Ok ok enough. Thanks! read more

Ordered one of their "Chef's Specials" since all the photos looked so enticing. You can order either at the separate kiosk on the wall or at the front register with the worker. My bf chose the "Nutella" ice cream which has a dash of whipped cream, banana slices, strawberry slices, drizzle of nutella, and a wafer stick. I would've liked to have seen a few more slices of the fruit rather than just 3 slices. Nonetheless, it was still delicious! The young guy working behind the counter was kind and inviting. There's glass so you can see them working on the ice cream and rolling it up. We were the only customers in there so our cup came out quickly. Rolled ice cream is always such a fun dessert! The inside is also really cute with fun, fresh modern vibes. Letters on the wall to move around string of light bulbs, and mirrors with quotes on them. Love the ambiance in here. read more

First time here since it was hot out and my daughter was craving rolled ice cream. Saw on Yelp their menu had happy hour specials but apparently I didn't get that discount even though I came in before 4pm... Ice cream was good but pricy for the amount they give. (Smaller amount, compared to the other pics I see on Yelp..) (I could've went for acai bowl instead...) It was empty inside w one worker and a couple eating inside. Place was clean and plenty of seats Overall, it was an okay experience. I wouldn't come back. read more

I honestly thought I wrote a review already, pardon my lapse in memory. Had the pleasure of trying their rolled ice cream and was excited to have a place for cold sweet treat mear the movie theater. Then Covid struck, lots of places closed and some didn't recover. It was great that they re-opened in April 2021. I won a year's worth of ice cream (one a month) playing their roulette. As if I needed more incentive to get ice cream. I've tasted their rocky road, s'mores, horchata, and, taro ice cream. Of course I like the rocky road the best. It's fun to watch how they mix and nudge the liquid cream on the cold slab until finally they roll the ice cream and slowly assemble them into a cup. When you choose from one of the Chef's Specials, the topping are already set. Otherwise you can make it your own by choosing your own base flavor for the cream and whatever toppings you like. read more

My first experience here was great. The making of the ice cream was amazing. The ice cream was very sweet: too sweet to my Subjective opinion along with Oreos and other stuffs. The service was great. This place could be a great date snack before or after the movie. It's 4.5 out of 5. Will come again for a more planned flavor. read more

Me and Ice Cream Chef. A Love Story. Without further delay let's begin this review. Ice Cream Chef is a small ice cream shop located in a huge entertainment shopping plaza on Lakes Drive in West Covina. It's indoor design and layout was cute and spacious; atmosphere was relaxing. They have outdoor seats with a good view of the plaza. I was greeted by a very young male staff and he took my order. I ordered a Nutella Ice cream. And it's texture was thick and flavor was close to perfection. I like the whip cream, slice of strawberry and banana as toppings. A perfect slice of heaven on a warm sunny Saturday. Their prices were fair. Overall, I had a good experience and ice cream. I recommend this little shop and I say this wholeheartedly I shall return. read more

It's not bad, it's not great though. I'd say overrated, it's pretty much just like Icicles and not worth the price. But the staff was friendly and I LOVED the topping labels - cinnamon toes cranch and niller walfors cracked me up. It's this meme which I think originated with RANIBOW SPRIMKLE, and I just thought it was really funny. I think that brought it from 3 stars to 4 stars. But the service was 5 stars and my 11 year old cousin loved the ice cream, and we did go for her, so mission success I guess! I just personally wouldn't buy it myself. Lucky for me, her dad (aka my uncle) paid for us so that was cool for me! The complex is nice. Lots of parking. I'd assume that's due to the movie theater mainly (Edwards Cinemas) I'm sure my cousin would give it 5 stars if she used Yelp! I mean, rolled ice cream is cool and usually a hit with the kids. Me personally, I'm cool with the tubs from Costco. In short, no complaints here but also it was nothing exceptional. read more

Super delicious rolled ice cream love it!! The ice cream base is super extra creamy I like to get it extra frozen sooooo good

I was running an errand in the area and stopped in for an ice cream treat. Located in The Lakes Mall complex you might not know it's there as it's not very visible from the street (it is in the same area as Edwards Cinema). This is a rolled ice cream place so it takes a few minutes to mix, pour, and roll the ice cream. They have several "chef specials" which are in-house concoctions that are pictured on their menu board. Or you can create your own. I chose one of the specialties: "coffee". This ice cream treat consisted of rolled coffee ice cream with chocolate wafers, sprinkled chocolate graham cracker crumbs, chocolate and caramel syrup, and some whipped cream. The ice cream rolls had a fairly strong coffee flavor which I enjoyed and all the toppings were sweet and delicious. Next time I'd ask for a little more of the syrups (that's just me and my sweet tooth). Customer service was exceptionally cheerful and friendly and the prices seem to be in line with other rolled ice cream places. My verdict in a word: Yum! read more

We came on a Thursday night around 8:30, and the wait was long. There were 2 small groups in front of us, and we waited about 15 minutes in line and then another 20 for the ice cream. They had one person taking orders and another making the ice cream. Mint chip: Came with lots of chocolate chips, a pocky, and some whipped cream. The mint flavor was good, but mine melted pretty quickly. Rocky road: Good chocolate ice cream with almonds and a very burnt marshmallow. The marshmallow was very bitter, but other than that, the ice cream was good. Overall, ice creams were good in flavors, but mine already melted quite a bit, as I was waiting for them to make our second one. And they were so backed up that they gave us the marshmallow burnt instead of remaking another one. I probably won't return because I don't know if the ice cream was worth the price and long wait. read more
