Great boba tea spot with 'artisanal shaved ice'... though google confirms that's not a word. You get the point. The boba tea prices make a bit more sense - the starting price is $3, although that slowly creeps up once you want it to actually look like boba tea. They offer three sizes, whereas most offer only one. It's often crowded, with ample seating room and simple seating outside, too. There's several themes going on with the decor, but again, you're here for the boba tea, right? Points off for the . It'd pretty gross, and honestly, even a simple wipe-down will go a long way. It shows a lack of cleanliness and makes you question if there's more to that. Anyway, take your boba tea somewhere to enjoy! Ok..gotta go enjoy mine! Simple Thai tea w. Boba - $3.88 (12oz.) read more

My first time trying shaved ice like this and it was good! I got the combo 1, which is vanilla shaved ice, Oreo pieces, strawberries, and Nutella drizzle. I substituted coconut shaved ice for the vanilla. The texture and taste is unique. It's super light and flaky but when it melts in your mouth it has a kind of creamy consistency like ice cream but not as thick (for lack of better word). The coconut flavor was light and paired nicely with the other toppings. Service was quick and the staff was friendly. I got it in a to-go cup but ended up eating there. It was pricey at almost 9 dollars so I'm not sure I'd return but it was a unique and tasty treat to try! read more

Great place to get an Ice cream! The ice creams here are huge and delicious! Let me tell you its always crowded here and that tells you a lot about a place. The service is quick and its worth the long lines! For a big Ice cream you can share them and you can put whatever topping you want! The place is really nice. read more

This is one of those few boba tea places that serves a no sugar option for Taro Milk Tea. I have drove by this strip mall many times but never tried the beverages at this place. They do serve ice cones in various flavors too. Quite friendly staff and really quick service. Not to mention the tea was good too and boba tasted just right. read more

Delicious desserts, but constantly sticky. I have tried many variations of their shaved ice and am always happy with it. I loved that they had such an extensive flavor choice for the shaved ice. read more

This is a cool little spot for a unique dessert. They have shaved ice with multiple toppings that you can choose to put on top. It seems like a lighter and somewhat healthier option than something like Ice cream. If you haven't tried shaved ice before I would try this spot out. read more

Cashier was very knowledgeable about what substitutions can be added for a dairy free drink. The matcha drink I ordered was a lackluster in flavor, it wasn't too overpowering which I was hoping for in matcha. It tasted very weak. Since it was a powder based; the flavor was pretty frothy and gritty. The smoothie just wasn't smooth. However, the taro milk tea with fruit jellies was pretty opposite. It was sweet, creamy, smooth, and ideal. Kinda small restaurant with plentiful tables, though it gets busy quick and other patrons crowd the walkways and the entry way. My sister and her best friend enjoyed the nu ice condensed milk tower. They gobbled it up with the quickness. read more

This shaved ice and boba shop serves some of the fluffiest & yummiest shaved ice I've ever had. It was the perfect way to end a long day! I filled out a create-your-own shaved ice form, and chose to get a mountain-sized taro shaved ice with honey boba, sweet red bean, mochi, and condensed milk. The forms for create-your-own are by the left corner of the ordering counter. (Checking in on Yelp also means one free topping!) The ice was shaved-to-order and took about 5-7 minutes to make. The mountain size serving was HUGE! Taro flavor was abundant in the shaved ice itself. As I mentioned earlier, the texture was amazingly fluffy, soft, and snow-like. The ice barely melted at all while it was being consumed, which allowed it to maintain its snow-like texture the entire time. I liked both the honey boba and sweet red bean toppings. The honey boba was perfectly chewy, and the red beans weren't overly sweet and were cooked well. The mochi was a little bit of a letdown because it tasted floury and was denser than expected. I never have the highest expectations for shaved ice because many times there are hidden ice chunks or the shaved ice melts too quickly. However, this place had neither problem. I definitely recommend coming here for a great shaved ice experience! read more

Meh, I've had better. With great reviews and high Yelp Ratings, I decided to visit this establishment. Service was meh and the Ice Milk was also meh. Unfortunately, the dessert was just ok..something was definitely missing to make it pop. Maybe I needed more Nutella with bananas or nuts possibly. read more

We ordered the Nu milk tea, Good-zilla milk tea, and Green tea "ice hill" with mochi + strawberries + watermelon and drizzled with condensed milk. Everything was so delicious! The service was amazing, very kind, and speedy. My partner and I came on a Sunday afternoon around 7pm, it was pretty quiet atmosphere, seemed like we just missed a big rush because their dish tray was full but the staff were patient with me and treated us very nicely. We'll definitely be returning next time we want a sweet treat! Thank you! read more

I've had this place on my bookmark for a while now, and finally got a chance to go and check it out. It was extremely busy inside there were no social distancing in place, because there were people everywhere. Despite this, we decided to go inside, and get 2 different plates, one with strawberry ice with strawberries and mangoes and condensed milk, and one with Nutella ice with m&ms and chocolate syrup. Both were nice but I prefer the fruity flavour ones. I was surprised how loud it was inside, because the person who was making the dishes had to manually change the ice and shave it down herself, and I could see she was stressed because of how many people there were inside. I felt bad for her because she was doing a lot of things, but also there should have been social distancing in place especially since the shop is so small. I would come here again, but I would be wary to come at a time where there would not be as many people, and especially so that there isn't so many people crowded in around in a small area. Other than that, I am liked the décor inside and the items we got were delicious. read more

So delicious i think about her every other day. We got the mountain and it was like $8! very affordable. I loved that they had egg pudding as a topping and the milk flavor was so creamy. The seats and stuff were sticky and dirty honestly but i mean i won't blame the guy working there for that. It is an ice cream shop anyways. I'll def be going back again! read more

Here for work in Houston this week and this is our 2nd time visiting Nu Ice. My 16yo and I were craving for Korean bingsu and this is the closest thing we could find. Great location, mixed in with a variety of restaurants, a yogurt shop and a cafe. Both times the "artisanal shave ice" were perfect, tremendous serving of toppings, and the hill size was just right for two to share. Service was great. The only reason I am giving this place 4 stars is because the decor and furniture could use an update. Go check them out! read more

When I want something slightly different but still enjoy my craving for boba, I visit this gem. I'm not a big ice cream eater, however whenever the craving arises, Nu Ice satisfies. I have only had their strawberry slapt, but it's combination of ice cream, strawberry syrup, pudding and boba is so very good!! It's a cute little inside setting and usually very clean. I will continue to visit. read more

Met a friend here for coffee. Cashier gave great suggestions. Saw small groups and families enjoying themselves. Very chill atmosphere.

Went here with a few friends. When we walked in it wasn't packed but after we ordered it started to get crowded. The decor was nice but the booth seats were really dirty. I ordered the Mangonada and it was really good. There were chopped up mangos in the smoothie that I really liked. read more

Why 5 stars? I needed something sweet and it delivered. --- --- --- If I had more time, I would have definitely sat down and enjoyed a shaved ice. Unfortunately, I needed a portable drink, so I opted for a mango slush with lychee poppers. I had an egg coffee at another shop before this and was really wanting something super sugary to cleanse the palette. This perfectly hit the spot. Granted, I can't really recall too many mango slushes/smoothies that haven't hit the spot, but they certainly didn't do anything to mess this one up. Next time: shaved ice. This was probably the only time in my life I turned down shaved ice for something else, but I won't make that mistake again. read more

Pros: service was quick and friendly. Prices were fair. Something fun and different than a standard cup up ice cream. Cons: flavors fell a bit flat. I ordered w/ three different flavors and none of them really wowed me. The shop floors and several tables were quite sticky. A unique dessert that, unfortunately, just didn't hit the mark for me. But worth a try to decide for yourself! read more

The ribbon shaved ice is amazing! It can get a bit messy because the plates are kind of small. The establishment wasn't as clean as expected and the furniture needs to be updated or repaired. The pleather in the booth seats is cracking and is very rough to sit on. read more

Good late night dessert place. They have a lot of different drink options as well as fresh fruit toppings.

A nice treat alternative to ice cream . This was my first time there end so I didn't know how to order. No one explained how to order or asked if it was my first time so I just winged it. You are supposed to get the little clipboards and write down what you want and give it to the attendant. ‍FYI We chose a premade selection off the menu and it was quite tasty. read more

Pretty clean place. Staff is nice and friendly, always ready to help if you have any questions or indecisive like me and my boyfriend . Shaved ice is good. I personally didn't like mango shaved ice as much as I like the green tea shaved ice, but my boyfriend got opposites opinion. It is a perfect place to come if you and your friends/family/significant other got different tastes. read more

Totally refreshing way to cool off during the summer. Handles my sweet tooth without feeling all sugared up afterwards. I really like that it doesn't leave me thirsty afterward like most ice cream does. Only 2 cons: they don't post the calories for the shaved ice & toppings. Other con is there aren't many healthy topping choices. I'd be motivated to go more often if they had a frequent visitor system in place. Bottom line is it tastes great! They have late hours. Nice place to visit for date night or afternoon delight with the grandchildren. Enjoy yourself! read more

David was ahhhhhhmazing! Greeted my daughter and I upon entering! Asked how our day was going and recommended several drinks. I settled on the Green SuperFuel because I need this summer body to shape up or ship out! Needless to say, it was refreshing and all things green!!!! My daughter ordered the Nu Half and Half which is a fan favorite! She said, "It's really good!" The establishment is clean and tidy, very strategically decorated so that guest feel comfortable lounging while enjoying their drinks. My daughter and I opted for outside seating. There are two tables with 4 chairs each which is enough seating for small groups! read more

Love the shave ice. Vanilla milk shave ice with condensed milk is my favorite. Don't forget wads strawberries.

Service is not very good the product is good though they have good flavors the kids love this place.

We had the ice cream and a matcha drink here and it just wasn't as good as other places. The ambiance was good and I like the booth options-but other than that I think there's better out there. It's a shame because this is right by my house but oh well. Service was exactly as expected for these places so can't judge good or bad on that. read more

Still tasty this time around. Only complaint is the interior is a bit dirty and crowded. The shaved ice is still delicious. read more

Convenient for dessert after eating hot pot next door at Happy Lamb. Drinks are good and consistent. Customer service is good. Just a low-key, chill spot for hanging out if you want to. I love their Half and Half drink. You can customize the sweetness if you'd like. 50% is fine since it's naturally sweet. read more

Want to try something Nu? We'll try out Nu Ice in the Westheimer area. They have unique Bolba drinks and shaved ice treats. Typically during the week it isn't too crowded so you can grab a table and enjoy your sweet treats!

This drink is colorful and sweet and you'll be craving more after you drink it! read more

Value, size, and taste is good. Plenty of parking. You can customize your own hill or mountain shaved ice by choosing 1 flavor, 2 toppings, and a drizzle. A hill size is big enough for 1 person. read more
