So we decided to give Meet Fresh a shot as we live in the area and wanted to try a nice chilled Taiwanese dessert. We decided on the Shaved Ice Pudding and Q-Mochi. We placed our order, grabbed a table, and waited for our order... and waited... and waited... and waited. Finally, my wife got tired of waiting and went to ask what was up with our order. The guy at the counter said it would be done soon... 10 minutes later, and it finally comes out. The shaved ice tasted good actually. The scoop of vanilla ice cream on top, the flavors and condensed milk mixed into the body of the shaved ice, with a portion of almond and flan pudding, jellies and mochi rolls at the bottom. It actually hit the spot on this extremely hot evening. I would have given this location a 4, but this kind of service is a glaring reminder why I should stop tipping at kiosks. I don't plan on returning to this particular location again, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. 40-45 minutes for shaved ice is ridiculous! I could have made a whole family dinner in that time.
Super hot day, tons of customers with the same idea as me, to come here! The interior had lots of space and tables, and a claw machine! After I put in my order, I needed a token for it but the one and only person working was too busy to change me. She apologized and when another worker finally came back, she got me my token and I tried for something..but lost. When I got my order, and sat down to enjoy it, man did it cool me down big time! So refreshing! I'm not usually in W. Covina often, and the closest Meet Fresh to me is Temple City, but it's way above the 10 freeway and I'm by the 60 freeway so it's quite a drive just to get to it. And the Monterey Park one closed so...anyways, loved it, and will definitely will be back before the summer season ends!
Very refreshing on a hot day! Quick and friendly service and plenty of parking in this plaza (although packed very quickly on weekends with so many restaurants and coffee shops around). The inside was clean with plenty of seating! Tried their signature #1 meet fresh grass jelly with taro balls and shaved ice. The grass jelly was jiggly and refreshing. The taro and sweet potato balls were chewy and the shaved ice was nicely sweetened. Top it off with their creamer for a more milky taste! For $10 it was a good amount and perfect for sharing with 2-3 people. Would def recommend stopping by during the weekday for their weekday deals too. Plenty of sweet treats and drinks to try!
I went in for red bean soup..cashier convinced me to try there grass jelly specialty... the worse dessert and I will try anything...something was off. None of family like it. We orderedthis and 2 kids drinks Total was $27 and some change.. if this grass jelly is their specialty...that's a bummer because the place was clean ... it did have a out of order bathroom but the rest of the place was clean . Only reason im giving 2 stars
I was in the mood for something sweet so we found this fun spot located off sunset ave in a busy shopping center. (Hong Kong plaza) The location has a front and back entrance. A large menu with different sweets and some food options as well. While you wait for your order you can enjoy a game of claw machine or pick out a fun trinket out of the trinket machine ! The service was nice and the deserts were tasty. Parking can be difficult since this location is so busy fyi but worth the visit !
This place is ok. There isn't much happening in this joint. Molly Tea just opened up a few doors down. They will takeover all the customers. MF doesnt have much to offer as far as flavor and ambiance ( for the lack of unfortunately). I wouldn't be surprised if they close up.
We were craving Meet Fresh on New Year's Day and stopped by around noon to order takeout. There were no other customers when we walked in. I placed my order with an employee, though I later noticed there's a self-service ordering kiosk near the entrance. Communication was a bit challenging, as the staff at this location speak very limited English. The first employee had to call over another staff member to help with my order, since it seemed like there was some confusion. The seasonal hot almond soup is currently available, so we ordered that along with a build-your-own hot grass jelly with taro paste and mini Qs. This was my first time trying the taro paste and it was excellent - definitely a must-order for taro lovers, and the portion was generous. The grass jelly itself was lacking in sweetness and we had to ask separately for creamer (thought it usually came with it, but I could be misremembering). Unfortunately, the packaging was a miss. The lid on the grass jelly wasn't secured properly, and some of it spilled inside the bag.
I was craving a shave ice dessert after having dinner nearby and was pleased to see Meet Fresh in the area. There are ample parking spots as it's located in a shared plaza. The service was rather poor. No one greets you and there are hand written signs all over the store to direct you on how to self order. Basically you order what you want at a kiosk. There are television menus on display and they are all outdated. There is a menu by the wall, which is also outdated. The kiosk where you self service also has a suggestive tip option, which I don't understand since no one is helping us. My boyfriend and I decided on a large strawberry mango dessert as it was only $1 more compared to the medium. The size is actually GINORMOUS. We added on pudding and mochi ... and the dessert cost almost $20. They only have two small pieces of mochi. I'm used to mochi balls being scattered in the dessert. Anyways, I think that's a pretty steep price for dessert. We couldn't finish it. It was overwhelming. The mango and strawberry toppings also weren't very sweet. However the presentation was nice. PS- The restrooms were "out of order". Not sure I'll be back. There are other more satisfying dessert places in the neighborhood with better customer service and pricing.
Originating from Taichung, Taiwan, Meet Fresh was founded in 2007 by the Fu siblings. Most of the items on the menu were the Fu family's traditional and home cooked recipes. It's known for authentic flavor and dedication to natural, handmade ingredients. The dessert shop did so well in Taiwan that many new locations were opened in various countries. Meet Fresh is my mom's favorite dessert place. We usually go to the Temple City location. Glad that they opened one here near us. It's in the same plaza of Haven City Food Hall with plenty of parking. Interior is cute, clean, and spacious with two claw machines. Staffs are very nice, friendly, and helpful. They refilled our water and brought it to our table. Most of their items on the menu are delicious and not too sweet. We love their hot red bean soup with sesame balls and signature shaved ice. Their grass jelly is good but it's more to the sweeter side. Great place to hangout after lunch/dinner with friends and family.
It is best tasting the very first day! Order was made quickly! I love their winter melon tea at 50 percent sweetness. They have so many monthly deals, it is hard to pass up. I'm glad I went at night, there was no line. The menu is huge. Inside is pretty quiet and clean.
I have come here occasionally for their Too Good To Go since it's the only way the prices here can be reasonable. The staff organization/knowledge seems very lacking as they often don't have a clue the specifics about the app orders. People often get pissed waiting for a long time here and I've had customers want to fight me because they everyone was cutting the queue because the waits were so long and the staff doesn't manage the customer expectations or line. I've literally been told by the staff to come back in an hour because they're too behind which seems to be most of the time. I've seen 1 person overwhelmed on a busy day sure... but I've seem the same happen with 5 staff. Something is not right.
We ordered the strawberry mango shaved ice and added in taro balls. They ran out of strawberries so they gave us a free choice of q mochi. The shaved ice was decent, and the q mochi and taro balls were yummy and chewy. The large sized shaved ice we ordered was enough for 5 people. The matcha egg waffle was ok. It was bitter and dry. Needed some condensed milk or something to sweeten and moisten it. Wouldn't recommend ordering. Service was good and the store has plenty of seating, games and claw machines. Good spot to hangout with friends and family.

Oh baby, why don't you just meet me in the middle? I'm losing my mind just a little So why don't you just meet me in the middle?... 4.5/5 Chocolate Deluxe Egg Waffle was good although we could have used a bit more ice cream as it was like 3 parts waffle 1/3 ice cream. The chocolate was good on each little waffle bubble bite, my kids really enjoyed it. Didn't try the chocolate rolls that was all the kiddos. It also has some nuts sprinkled in there. 4/5 Ambiance Indoor and outdoor seating available. Card only no cash. Return tray area near the bathrooms. Both bathrooms were out of service on our visit. They do have board game nights Tuesdays. They have wifi as well but was surprised how empty this location was. 4/5 Parking Parking around the shopping center can get busy but not bad. With a lot of competition in their own backyard this location needs to be on point to keep up especially with the bathrooms. I wonder what this place is like on a Tuesday night.

Stopped by here with my wife for dessert after dinner, and it was a great choice. We shared an ice grass jelly dessert with extra grass jelly and tapioca balls, a splash of milk, and I added a little half-and-half afterward--super tasty, smooth, and not too sweet. The vibe inside was chill and welcoming. They had Coco playing on the TV, which was a nice touch and made the place feel relaxed and family-friendly. I can easily see this being a spot for families, friends, or even casual meet-ups. Service was a bit mixed--the staff member who took our order didn't seem very friendly at first, but when we were leaving, she was much warmer and polite, which helped end things on a good note. Overall, a solid dessert spot that I'd definitely return to. The dessert alone makes it worth coming back. read more
One of the smallest locations we'v visited. I really like Meet Fresh teas cause they are not sweet and strong enough for me. We came in for green tea and matcha egg waffle. It took a while for our order to come out cause there was only one worker. The tea was tasty and waffle was yummy. Meet Fresh is the best place for Taiwanese desserts! read more

I've always seen the ads but finally gave this place a try and I was throughly impressed by these Taiwanese desserts! Beans in dessert had me shook, but it's the mix of herby grass jelly, cold shaved ice, black sesame balls, and taro balls that when eaten together gives you a deep flavor that almost feels beyond just a dessert. It's a colorful concoction that makes you excited to try it again and again with so many different combinations and toppings you can't go wrong! Big open spaces for you and the crew to get a bowl! Having the electronic kiosk also helps going with a group and you can customize exactly what you want, although the staff is willing to help if you have any questions read more
The food was great and inside was clear and bright but the girl at the counter was moody. I wanted to order and she directed me to the kiosk to do it myself. Not the usual friendly behavior I'd usually get from staff from here. No smile, hello, eye contact or anything that would make me feel welcomed. I supposed that's not that important as long as the food was good and it was. It looked like it was just her and 1 other person in the kitchen area. I ordered it togo because I knew I wouldn't be able to finish it. Packaging was nice. Ice cream and shaved iced stayed cold and the boba was warm. Good combo. There was guest Wi-Fi avail, it showed up on my phone but I didn't see the Wi-Fi password posted anywhere so I'm not sure if it's really available for guest use. Otherwise as long as you're there for the food it was fine. read more

10/10 mochi dessert. My cousin and I couldn't stop saying how flavorful all the different items were and how well everything went together. We should've gotten a large! Thank you to the employee who helped us decide on what to get - there are so many delicious options! They didn't have the taro mochi shaved ice at this location but i highly recommend the mochi one! The drinks were also packed with flavor and you can modify the ice and sweetness level! The location also has a vending machine with clothes for labubu & and arcade game - very entertaining for the kids! read more

Located right at the main entrance of HK Plaza in West Covina. We tried the jelly dessert--perfect for when you're craving something sweet but not overly sugary. I also got a side of sesame balls. They have a kiosk, so you can order either in person or at the machine. Service was quick, and the place was cute. They even have a claw machine and a computer station where kids can play games. read more

Meet fresh will always have my heart I typically order the Icy Grass Jelly Signature, but recently, my boyfriend and I got the Matcha Deluxe Egg Waffle. Although I am not the biggest fan of red bean, the mochi, ice cream, & egg waffle were amazing. Although the waffle did not have a strong matcha taste, I still thought it was very delicious. read more
Really enjoyed this meet fresh. It wasn't crowded at all, it was actually empty on Saturday at 2 pm. We got the Icy Grass Jelly Signature and it was so refreshing. They also had a cool arcade emulated machine that had a bunch of retro/fighting games that we were able to play while we waited. Definitely enjoyed this location more than many of the other busier locations. Parking - Tough if its at the busy hours since Haven City Market & the grocery store shares the same lot. read more

This place is quite new in the area the time we visited, only open just couple of months. We were dining outside since we got our dog with us. The outdoor area was not that nice, felt it likes abandoned place, so many outdoor stuff for event were not kept properly. Additionally, the hot red bean we got was just not even luke warm, a bit disappointing since you expect to warm yourself during winter with the hot soup. Waffles for my husband was decent, quite similar with other places we tried. 6/10 read more

Newly Opened Meet Fresh location (opened back in August), found in the same plaza as BMC and newly opened Haven City Market. I visited this location on a Sunday with my husband. We entered from the back entrance (where you will find a unisex restroom. What is interesting is that there is a sink right outside the restroom (this is also a sink in the restroom) for those that may just want to wash their hands, which I think is nice. Anyways, when we came in and walked to the counter, we were greeted by the employees behind the counter. After looking over the menu, we ended up purchasing: Almond Milk Drink w/ Boba, $6.50 prior to tax- I ordered this drink which I thought was just perfect in flavor. It was not too sweet and was nice to have hot on a cold day. The boba was perfectly cooked, nice and soft with a good chew. Milk Tea w/ Grass Jelly, $6.50 prior to tax- My husband ordered this milk tea to be made with no ice and 50% sweetness. He liked his drink and thought the grass jelly was just right. ---------------------------------- (Total= $13.96 after tax) Service was friendly and quick. I like the nice seating area with several tables and chairs to choose from. But because the parking can be a challenge and also this location is not in an area that I frequent often, I most likely won't come back to this location often. But I did like my visit and would come back in the future. read more

I've never been to this plaza before, but it has such good options! Especially the newly opened Meet Fresh! My co-worker and I came here after dinner to continue chatting and it was such a good place to go! The place was clean and had lots of seating (very spacious!). And the service was really good, we were staring at the menu for a while since there are so many different things to order but they all look so good! We ordered two things to share and it was more than enough for us! read more
