    Used tools just hanging out on the table counters
    Kristie H.

    Been coming here for decades and I never write bad reviews especially ones based solely on service but this was definitely a new low. The female staffer ignored us completely and when I went up to order, she gave us lots of attitude and just told us to look at the menu. We also got a lot of eye rolling as well. Honestly, I should've just walked out. But I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt maybe she was having a bad day? Honestly, the lady has never been kind all the years that I've been going, but she's never been this bad. Then my mom ordered a smoothie and she was unhappy that she referred it to it as a smoothie sha bing instead of a bing sha. Even the male staffer was rude. Zero customers inside. Wanted to support them, but this is definitely the last time. They were one of the OG places to start serving Boba back in the day and their shaved ice was pretty decent. Their drinks have always been so so, but I always try to support mom and pops and this was definitely one of those places you go just to feel nostalgic about the old times. I am totally fine with zero service and even bad service, but this was way worse than bad. I also don't think it's ok to have used power tools and other stuff just spread out on the counters were people are supposed to eat.

    Boba!!!

    Yummy food! We ordered shaved ice and crispy chicken. The shaved ice was great and the chicken was cooked perfectly. It tasted amazing with the basil. Come here!

    Went back tonight and took a friend so he could see if what I like is really gewd and he likes it! Maybe next time he goes he and his family can enjoy this place together. For those who do not know, this is a hole in the wall kind of place. Ingredients here are made fresh by the owners who take pride in what they serve and offer. They have made long time customers that have been coming here for years...wish I was one. Barely found this place maybe 2 to 2 1/2 years ago. This place mostly offers desserts and some take home and cook food items.

    Popcorn chicken

    There's no place like Little Bean!!!! I drive from Fullerton to come here because it's truly worth it. The shaved ice is the best - not too sweet, big enough to share and super legit. The popcorn chicken is a must get!!!! And their boba milk tea is so refreshing again not too sweet. The ambiance is janky but honestly don't even care it's so good.

    Hot grass jelly dessert
    Amy P.

    Stopped by Little Bean for dessert. There were no other customers present at 7pm (one hour before closing). We placed our order and waited about 10-15 minutes for our two orders of hot grass jelly. Hot Grass Jelly w/ 3 items ($6.50): Added tapioca, red bean, and sweet potato + taro rice ball. The grass jelly tasted fresh and was unlike any dessert I've had since it was more a grass jelly soup with the toppings mixed in. For those who want to try an authentic Taiwanese grass jelly dessert, this is it. In hindsight, I do wish we ordered only one of the hot dessert and tried a shaved ice as well.. but that just means I'll have to make another trip out.

    The older I get the more I realize how special mom n pop stores like Little Bean are - for decades, it's been a mainstay for Taiwanese treats, dry foods, and desserts and a tried and true place my friends and I go to for simple yet delicious Taiwanese shaved ice. While there's nothing fancy or modern about the place visually, I think its charm lies in its old school charm, down to its tables where you can play Chinese checkers and the fact that the same people have always worked there. I'm amazed at how the price for a pretty big bowl of shaved ice has always stayed cheaper than competitors ($6, no tax) as well.

    Wow, I can't believe I never reviewed this place! I am so thankful it survived through the pandemic, seeing that is a mom and pop store, very small and homey. This is my go to place for Taiwanese shaved ice whenever I come to Rowland Heights! They use fresh ingredients and give a nice portion for a fraction of the price (comparing it to other Taiwanese restaurants!). The only reason why I am giving four stars instead of five is because I only order one item from this place. I want to venture out to other things on their menu..but I just can't get myself to... My friend did order Taro smoothie once, and the lady literally just took fresh taro and blend it into a smoothie! Highly recommend this place if you want a taste of Taiwan drinks and snacks :)!

    Large Coconut Milk Tea with Boba
    Howie C.

    LIttle Bean is the OG gold standard for warm boba. They've been doing it for over 20 years. There are a million boba chains that have come and gone and come again, but Little Bean is still standing. I used to play in a basketball league in the area and someone in the league said, "You haven't had the warm boba at Little Bean?" One try and I was hooked. No matter what drink you get, when you grab the bottom of the cup the feeling is the same... The pulsation of warm boba, warm enough that you can feel it through the cup. I usually get mine with standard milk tea or sometimes I ask the owner to customize it and make it a coconut milk tea. Their milk teas strike a good balance of tea flavor and sweet creaminess. I punch my straw in, give it a stir and take a sip. The warm boba effortlessly floats up the straw. I bite and always forget that I don't have to bite that hard. Their boba is super soft but still chewy and gently sweet. I mean super soft. No hard centers. They keep their boba in metal double layer pot that is always warm. It is still my favorite boba ball in SoCal. The store also sells some herbs and Chinese/Taiwanese snacks. They don't have many tables, but Pre-COVID you could find people having their boba drink and eating a few snacks, talking with friends or reading anime. Another very popular item is their shaved ice, simple, traditional Taiwanese style. Not over sugared with flavored syrups. There are plenty of sexier looking milk tea and smoothy drinks at other places, but Little Bean always delivers equally or better without the hype. They use fresh tea and fresh fruits for their smoothies and their drinks are reasonably priced. Thanks for giving me 20+ years of boba goodness!

    pina colada. SO good

    One of our favorite spots in Rowland Heights! My family has been coming here for years, ever since we were kids, and it's always been the same husband and wife running the entire shop. Service is a little slow, but it's because the lady makes every drink from scratch with tons of love and patience with homemade ingredients. It's fun to watch her create behind the counter. Even the fruit teas are literal fruit blended in front of you with tea, not the syrupy stuff. Our personal favorites have always been the smoothies/slushes because she blends them to perfection and even gives us the extra in a cup on the side. Shaved ice is also delicious. This is one of my favorite small businesses to support!

    Taro smoothie with boba
    Lu H.

    You can go to one of those trendy boba chains and get your drinks made by teenagers serving powdered formula, or you can come to Little Bean, a local shop owned by an adorable pair of Taiwanese uncle and auntie whose livelihood depends on this storefront. Little Bean has been around for as long as I can remember. I always stop by whenever I'm in the area to support this mom and pop. My go-to is the Taro smoothie with boba, made with real taro.

    Stopped by Miro Mochi in Rowland Heights again and reminded myself why I came back for the mochi…read more Here it's this super soft texture that slowly melts in your mouth instead of being overly chewy or dense. Really reminds me of the mochi back in China and Taiwan. I honestly can't stop ordering the black sesame flavor. My second favorite is the nutty flavor too, which somehow feels both comforting and dangerously easy to finish way too fast. I also love their other desert Chewy Clouds. If I'm going to embrace the carbs, I might as well do it with the cute bear-shaped ones. They're soft, chewy, and just fun to eat. The whole place leans into that playful dessert vibe without feeling too over the top, and service was fast too.

    Really wanted to give this place a try while I was in the city. I got the Summer Serenade and…read moreTwilight Pearls. Both lacked flavor and sweetness. The "milk mochi" texture was really odd to me--it's not something I'm used to. It's not chewy like regular mochi; it's soft like pudding but stretchy. That alone made the bowl hard to get used to. The Summer Serenade was refreshing because of the fruit, but it lacked sweetness. The whole bowl tasted only mildly sweet. The grass jelly bear was cute, but it also lacked sweetness. The coconut pudding bear was better--the texture and flavor were good. The Twilight Pearls had a lot of slimy textures. The taro and black rice felt heavy together, and everything combined felt overly soft and didn't blend well. I would not recommend this. I wouldn't come again. Maybe it's a good dessert for others, but it's not for me. I couldn't finish the Twilight Pearls--it felt like a waste of money.

Their Products are imported directly from (Harima Garden) in Uji, Kyoto, a family-owned tea estate operating since 1858. I am obsessed at this place I first tried it in Vegas and it was soo good! This one I located in Rowland Heights and they have soo many options to choose from shaved ice, latte, parfait, ice cream and all my favorite flavors are here matcha,Ube, hojicha and more! The quality is 10/10 not too sweet, very creamy and soo delicious. Ambiance is casual mostly to go, but there's plenty of seating outside in a cute little plaza. The service is amazing, the server greeted me nicely recommended me the best one! She even showed me that their matcha is authentic and from Japan! Everything comes out fast and with the weather it melts quick so gotta eat it quick as well! I will definitely comeback here and try more of their items!
