    The owner was super nice and friendly! I brought my kids here and they had so much fun with the claw games, foosball table, and air hockey! The drinks were great too! The atmosphere was calm and we had the whole place to ourselves for a bit! Definitely a hidden gem.

    Tiger milk tea

    Been coming here for a few months now. Never been disappointed! I mostly get the tiger milk tea but I have tried the other drinks, they were good too!

    I recently visited this boba shop and I have to say, I was really impressed! The drinks were absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of flavors to choose from. Each sip was refreshing and perfectly balanced, making it hard to pick a favorite. The customer service was outstanding as well. The staff was friendly and attentive, always ready to help with recommendations and ensuring that my order was just right. One staff member especially made me feel welcomed.He (james) greeted me and had amazing hospitality. It really made the experience enjoyable. The shop was fun,clean and had a cozy feeling about it, I enjoyed the games and felt very welcomed. Overall, I highly recommend this boba shop for anyone looking for great drinks, clean workspace and excellent service!

    My watered down drink

    Gave this place a second try today. Same problem. I ordered a passionfruit and dragonflies (2 flavors tea) since my first time here my drink tasted so watered down. Again my drink is very watery. Cashier unfriendly...wouldn't even say hello in return. I said hello twice cuz I figured she may not have heard me. Just a blank unwelcoming stare in return. Never again!

    Love the drinks here! There are new owners and they've completely turned this place around. I got the taro and my dad got their milk tea--Both tasted delicious with fresh chewy boba. Lots of drink options and I'll be back to try them.

    Alan was super amazing and helpful. it's my daughter's birthday and our first time there! he answered her questions so sweetly and made a great suggestion and she LOVED her drink! I loved that he listened to her and helped her. he also helped us pick our drinks too. we tried the food as well (edamame and popcorn chicken) and it was SO GOOD! seasoned very well and we're all excited to go back again- and more! thank you Alan! Also wanted to add: the store itself is so clean and fun! We played games- looked at all the cool stuff they sell. It really is a FIVE STAR place!

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

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.

    If you're a HOG (Houston Original Gangsta), you know Star Snow is one of OG places in Chinatown off…read moreBellaire, previously known for boba, and now it's got awesome food as well. It still has that "hole in the wall" vibe, and it's a pretty small footprint though they somehow pack a ton of 2 seaters and 4 seater tables in there so there's actually a decent amount of seats. Lots of takeout business too. Now I hadn't been in a while, and for my recent visit, they had installed large electronic kiosks so you can order and pay without any human interaction. They also bring your food to you (I remember going to a counter to pick it up). Star Snow has gotten fancy! And the prices have definitely gone up but it's still relatively affordable. Now, you're probably thinking "blah blah blah what about the actual food?" Well, it's great. Delicious. The beef noodle soup is one of best you'll ever have (comparable to Noodle Kitchen in Spring, TX and Shang's in Las Vegas), and the fried tofu appetizer is spectacular. Warning: it comes out HOT so give it a minute unless you enjoy burning the inside of your mouth. I loved every bite of both dishes and I would order them again. And again. And again. So what are the downsides? Again, if you're a HOG, you know - it's the Dun Huang center parking. So packed. The center has so much good food and drink options. Just bite the bullet and head towards the garage and park on the roof. That's what I did because I had no choice on a Saturday for lunch. And once you're done, don't head back towards Bellaire (it will take you 10 min just to leave the lot). Sneak out onto the Beltway feeder. That's my pro tip for ya. Lastly, I'm not sure exactly how long this location has been open, but I know it's at least 18 years based on the oldest Yelp Review. When a restaurant survives for that long in the Dun Huang center, you know it's legit.

Perfectly ok to take to go and reheat (except the squid, it gets tough). Smoothies are great, with modifiable sugar and ice content. Complimentary hot tea is available. Value: 5/5. Portions are very nice, while still being finishable. All the food and drink pictures came out to about $30 total. Ambiance: 3/5, not very important since it's a simple, quick sit down place to eat. Average noise level. Parking: 4/5 dependent on what day and time of day you go. It's in dun Huang plaza so there's a big lot, but you're going to be scrambling for a spot if you try coming on a weekend evening due to the overall business of this area. Service: 4/5. They are fast. No waiters/waitresses, you go up to the counter to get your drink, and a busser will typically bring your food. Fast is all that matters.

I have a ton of younger cousins who are always working with an allowance budget, so finding somewhere that can actually appease their appetite without breaking the bank is not easy--especially if you're feeding 10+ kids. MeetFresh's $15 giant desserts are truly the king of both budget and flavor. I cannot stress enough how much of a hit this place was the first time I recommended it to my cousins. Whether I'm with them or not, they always make a point to stop by whenever they drive into Houston from College Station. For that reason alone, MeetFresh holds a special place in my heart. It has given my large family a fun, worthwhile experience time and time again. On my most recent visit, we had a friend flying in from Chicago, so we brought him and his girlfriend here. We collectively ordered the Taro Mochi Milk Shaved Ice, and wow--if you're a fan of Chinese herbal flavors, this is the dessert for you. I usually stick with the mango or strawberry fruit dishes, but this one reminded me of Sâm Bổ Lượng, a Vietnamese chè/sweet soup. The flavors were earthy, comforting, and perfectly balanced in sweetness. I genuinely could not stop eating it until the very end, when all that was left was a puddle of melted ice and mixed-up dessert "schlop" -- LOL. Truly, thank you, MeetFresh, for being such a great place to gather, share, and enjoy dessert without needing a huge budget.

The shaved ice itself was really nice and fluffy, with the condensed milk topping being VERY sweet yet not overpowering. The fruit toppings we got, for the most part, were good. The pineapple and cantaloupe were both okay, though I think they both could've been fresher, but the strawberry and mango were both really good and complemented the shaved ice. I also really enjoyed the strawberry ice cream on top. I was a bit skeptical at first, but it added another dimension to the dish. The coconut pudding, though, was quite disappointing, not tasting like much and overall just feeling like a random and unnecessary addition to the otherwise really good dessert. The ambiance here was the main issue. It is a little bit barebones and not very decorated, but that didn't bother me. What did though was the piercing high pitched noise of the electronics, which made it really hard for me to focus, and the flashing lights, which just made me feel really disoriented. Still, this place is a hidden gem in the Dun Huang Plaza compared to everything else around it, and is definitely worth a try!
