    Seeds
    Mike T.

    I stopped by here to buy Com Chay for my sister and ended buying some Xi Muoi Me Tac. I asked for half a pound but they packed just over a pound. They are using the same tactics of Vua Kho Bo, over pack items to boost sales. The quality was terrible, lots of sugar and seeds. I can get this quality from the grocery store for a fraction of the price. I will not be coming back.

    Waste of money. Son's 'customized' ice cream cake. What a joke for $70. 8"
    jane m.

    -10 points if possible. My son's "customized cake" cost $70!!! 8 inch, simple vanilla cake. Showed her a picture and this is what she came up with. The sprinkles tasted like it expired 10 years ago (all four of my sugar- loving kids refused to eat it, so that tells you something.) The cake is lop-sided, the cream has an aftertaste. The cake was dry and the ice cream was gooey (hard to mess up vanilla but it was bad). Definitely not worth the money in any way. Just a warning for others considering to get a customized cake from them. A 9" well designed cake at baskin robbin is way cheaper, and there are more flavor selections. Edit: to the owner- I know you never "intended" to make a terrible cake but, the important thing is to acknowledge the possibility that you did. Can you seriously look at this lop-sided, messily decorated cake you made me and claim that if you had paid $70 for this, you would be happy? Yeah, I believe you when you said you made it the day of pick up, but rather you took 10minutes or 1 hour to make this is the bigger question. Plus, when I got there, your helper didn't know what I was talking about. When she called you and realized where the cake was, she didn't even know how to box it. It was a chaotic experience. I'm just saying that if you can't make quality cake while charging quality money, then consider taking them off your menu.

    Bought 10/17/25 Expiration date: 10/18/2025

    This was my first visit and support this store after meeting my family. We stopped here to buy some tea for my mother-in-law and some snacks. The customer service and cleanliness were satisfactory. However, after returning to my mother-in-law's house in San Diego, she told me the entire bag of tea we bought expired Tomorrow!!! We bought it on 10/17/2025, and it expired on 10/18/2025. I called the store politely to report the issue and ask how they could help. They replied, 'We are busy right now, we will call you back," but as of today, 10/21/2025, I haven't received a return call. Please check all products before leaving the store as my recommendation!

    Lots of selection. Both ladies helping out were detailed and helpful. Was able to try different kinds of beef jerky. All were tender and flavorful. They also have ice cream here which is a plus too. Very clean location and well lighted.

    My family and I love this place! We stop by every time we come to SoCal for vacation. Everything is so delicious. The dried shrimp and crab is my fav!

    My loot! Every sample and recommendation were delicious! Worth every penny!!!!

    Super friendly and helpful! Great customer service! Tried the dried guava, hibiscus, Hawthorne berries, beef jerky assortment (don't recall, tried too many), anchovies! Place is organized and clean.

    This stuff was like crack!
    Roberta P.

    All the good stuff and so addicting! They had the dried hawthorn berries, guava and an ambudance of jerky! Plus the customer service was on Par!

    Matcha Night Gone WRONG…read more.. After a delicious pho run, hubby and I were craving something sweet and wanted to try somewhere new. Hubby wasn't feeling the drive to Joe's, so naturally I opened Yelp and started hunting. We stumbled upon this spot located in a pretty busy plaza with restaurants, karaoke, pool tables, and bars, so there's definitely plenty happening around here for a fun night out. Unfortunately... the dessert was where the fun ended. Matcha Shaved Ice + Matcha/Hojicha Soft Serve -- $13.50 | 2/10 I was really looking forward to this one, but unfortunately it was a major miss for me. First, they were already out of red beans at 8pm, so I had to substitute them with waffle crumbs. Not a huge deal, but definitely not what I originally wanted. The bigger issue was the shaved ice itself. A good shaved ice should have that soft, fluffy, almost snow-like texture where the flavor is incorporated throughout the ice rather than feeling like you're just eating a pile of crunchy ice with syrup poured over the top. The best ones almost melt in your mouth and create that creamy, refreshing texture when paired with condensed milk, toppings, or soft serve. This one? Not that. The ice was extremely icy and hard, and it honestly tasted like they just poured matcha-flavored water/syrup over a mountain of ice. The matcha flavor didn't really soak into the shaved ice the way I expected, so instead of getting that smooth matcha flavor throughout every bite, I was getting... ice. The soft serve was probably the "better" part, but even with the matcha and hojicha soft serve mixed in, it couldn't save the shaved ice for me. And the mochi balls? SO squishy. I normally LOVE mochi, but these were not doing it for me tonight. It was fat & it just felt like a fat wet dough-ball. The biggest problem? We threw away more than 3/4 of it. And if you know me, you know I usually have a very hard time wasting dessert, or any food in general. I honestly haven't had a dessert this disappointing in quite some time. Would I come back? Nope. Would I recommend it? Unfortunately, no. Was the plaza fun? Absolutely! Maybe we just caught them on an off night, but based on this experience, I'll be sticking to my other shaved ice spots. Happy Desserts... but tonight, barely.

The mint and chip is basic. Nothing too much about it. My kids like it, so I got it. Average 3/5. The rose ice cream tasted like a rose, it was pretty good and very floral. The disappointing part is I was hoping the ice cream would be shaped like a rose as depicted on the picture. Nope, just a scoop and left it as is. 5/5 for taste and 0/5 for presentation. The milk and cereal one was actually pretty good. Especially with Frosted Flakes in it. It literally taste like cereal. 5/5. I would give it a higher star if the service complimented it and th presentation of the rose ice cream did.

We walked into a space that stands out immediately with its themed decor, character designs, and little details that make it feel different from a typical ice cream spot. The shop has a strong personality without relying only on the theme, making it a place that works for both anime fans and anyone looking for unique desserts. The interior is compact but thoughtfully designed, with colorful artwork and small touches that reward a closer look. The biggest highlight is the rotating ice cream selection. The flavors go beyond the usual options, with combinations like ube, sea salt, yuzu orange, and other seasonal creations that give the menu a more adventurous feel. We appreciated that they offer samples before choosing, since the variety makes it hard to decide. The flavors are creative but still approachable, and the dairy-free options are a nice addition for people looking for alternatives. The ube had a rich, earthy sweetness, and the yuzu orange offered a bright, citrusy contrast that kept the tasting experience interesting. The texture of the ice cream was smooth and creamy, and the flavors were well balanced without relying on excessive sweetness. The presentation is also part of the experience. The anime-inspired names, cute designs, and collectible stickers that come with the scoops add a fun element that makes the visit feel more memorable. We noticed a mix of fans and families enjoying the space, and the overall energy of the shop is welcoming and playful. The small details, from the branding to the way the staff interacted with customers, made the visit feel more personal and engaging. Service was friendly and welcoming, and the staff were helpful when explaining the different flavors or letting us try options before committing. They were patient with questions and offered thoughtful recommendations based on what we were in the mood for. The space itself is on the smaller side, so seating can be limited and it may be better suited for grabbing a scoop and enjoying it nearby rather than spending a long time inside. The turnover moves quickly, and the staff manage the flow efficiently. Tsun Scoops is a great dessert stop if you are looking for something more unique than a standard ice cream shop. The combination of creative flavors, anime-inspired atmosphere, and small personal touches makes it feel like a place built around the experience as much as the ice cream itself, offering a visit that is both playful and satisfying.
