Very creamy: Probably very high fat. - 3.9: Chongos zamoranos (milk curd) ice cream. Flavor is not distinctive enough; too artificial and too sweet. Too many stabilizers. - 1.5: Caffe ice cream. Flavor was too mild, and it had a half-n-half powdery milk flavor to it. On-street parking is very limited.

4.5 STARS Ice…read moreimported from Japan? That's crazy work! The Kakigōri must be bomb! And, it better be for the price. Ice Days is a pop-up inside Jin Sho. Open on Sundays only from 11 am - 3 pm. They only put two tables outside so you're at the mercy of others leaving. There's a stack of outdoor tables but only for use when Jin Sho is open. M E N U Kakigōri: Japanese shaved ice Flavors: Strawberry, mango, matcha, hōjicha, and peach (last day today) Two sizes: Mini Cup ($9-$11), Bowl ($12-$14) Oat milk syrup: +$1 K A G I K Ō R I I was so bummed that the peach was sold out. There was no IG post it was the last day of this offering and there would be limited quantities. * Mango (Bowl-$13): https://tinyurl.com/24vuz3mk The shaved ice was snow-like, perfectly fluffy and melt in your mouth. Great texture but sadly, there was very little of it. As we dug in, the mound of shaved ice had a huge hollow hole filled with whipped cream and coconut jelly. Served with four chucks of sweet, ripen mango and topped with toasted coconut. We usually struggle to finish one kakigōri but this was gone in several bites so we ordered an another one. * Strawberry (Bowl-$12): https://tinyurl.com/5dwpx4mw Equally refreshing but also had a huge hollow hole. This one was filled with whipped cream and two QQ mochi balls. The fresh strawberries were ripe and the strawberry puree ran quite sweet. Overall, excellent quality Kakigōri but premium baller PA pricing for the portion. The amount of actual shaved ice is a small fraction of what you receive at other dessert shops. Blame it on the tariffs, I guess.

I usually don't finish all the bubbles when I get boba, but these bubbles were so good that I hunted down every last one among all the ice at the bottom. The store itself has some tables available, but we just ended up getting our drinks to go. The ambiance isn't as "cute" as other bubble tea shops, but all in all, I was pleased with my bubble tea!

I ordered a mangonada and it was really yummy. It comes with mango ice cream, chamoy sauce, fresh mango on top and a tamarindo stick. Tasted sweet and sour and spicy at the same time but very addictive and super yummy. I really like the ice cream flavor. However, you gotta wait like 30 mins for the ice cream to melt a bit so you can mix everything together. Kinda long wait but worth it. After mixing, it taste way better and more balanced. Overall I like it, simple place but good treats.

Their ice cream flavors are delicious, we've had mango and it's a must try. Other items that I have tried are tost-elote, strawberries and cream, bionico bowl and fruit.

Yes the items are more pricey than people selling by schools, etc but we have to remember they are paying for the location. Staff are great, and service is quick, so I recommend trying it out!

Upon entering, we felt relaxed by the soothing ambiance. From the small decors to the dishware, everything projects zen.

We also had their Niku Udon as well as their Kaisen Don (chef's choice of sashimi over rice) For drinks we had Lychee Oolong, Strawberry Matcha, and Suntory Beer.

Shiok is the best Singaporean food our family has found outside of Singapore, and we are thrilled…read morethey are back in Menlo Park. Our family is Singaporean, and anyone who knows Singaporeans knows that food is practically religion. We are passionate foodies, and Shiok has been our family's go-to spot for authentic Singaporean food for more than a decade. This is a beloved family-run restaurant, and you can feel that warmth in both the food and the service. As you're savoring a bowl of laksa, a plate of chicken rice, or a roti prata starter, it's common for a family member to stop by, say hi, and see how you're doing. That personal touch is part of what makes Shiok so special. A couple of years ago, we were heartbroken when Shiok lost its longtime Menlo Park location after the building was sold. They managed to continue operating through a ghost kitchen in Redwood City, and we were so grateful to still be able to order our favorite dishes. Now that they have relocated back to Menlo Park, we could not be happier. If you love Asian food -- especially Singaporean food -- you have to try Shiok. Our family favorites include the laksa, Hainanese chicken rice, roti prata, char kway teow, sayur lodeh, beef rendang, chicken satay, and tahu goreng. The family meal for 4 is also an incredible deal and a great way to try multiple dishes. Shiok is a true local treasure: authentic, delicious, welcoming, and family-run. We are so glad they are back in Menlo Park and hope many more people discover and support them.
