This isn't your "regular" shaved ice, but has a unique, creamy element that just makes the different options a bit more sultry and heavy. The result is something that almost has a sorbet taste to it. The taste is really refreshing and soothing on a warm day. The location itself is literally a small shed/stand, with areas to sit around it, and the staff is always friendly and helpful. The kids can run around and burn off their energy while the adults finish their treats. A great pit stop during your summer outings!

Wow, is this place good!!…read more The shaved ice is wonderful: huge portions, top-notch ingredients, terrific flavor. The staff is very friendly, helpful, and engaging.

Brought back some great memories of Maui! The owners are incredibly friendly and the portion is very generous and at a reasonable price. Great selection of flavors - I had guava/passion fruit, my wife had Hawaiian/Bahama mama and our daughter had bubble gum - and the amount of syrup on the ice was perfect. Looking forward to going back! Mahalo!

Ski is hands down the best place to get shaved ice around. And honestly, especially considering the…read morequality ingredients, is a fair price. Authentic too, considering he 'sweats' the ice block he keeps in stock so that way it has this wonderful, light texture. Lets a lot of the flavor since in too! Not just sit on top like a lot of snow cones do. Ski himself also has amazing customer service skills. Easily the type of fella to talk to you for hours, while not missing a beat in serving customers. Couldn't recommend him more.

Came here with a friend on a Thursday night after work and it was still pretty busy. Mango Mango is…read morea quaint spot with tasteful decor and even a little lofted seating area. Service was quick and we got seated fast. I ordered the mango dessert with ice cream, sago, and pomelo, and my friend got the tiramisu. The mango dessert was amazing. Super fresh, sweet mango chunks with that natural tropical flavor, paired with creamy ice cream that melted into everything. The sago added a soft, chewy texture and the pomelo gave little bursts of citrusy bitterness that balanced the sweetness really well. It felt light but still indulgent. The tiramisu was also really good. Soft, creamy layers with a nice coffee flavor that was not too bitter, and just the right amount of sweetness. Very smooth and easy to keep eating. We stayed for a while just chatting and were not rushed out at all, which I really appreciated. Not every café lets you sit and relax like that. It is located down a slightly shady alley, but honestly it is fine, especially when it is still light out and since it is in Chinatown. Just feels a little hidden at first. Overall a really solid dessert spot. Not just mango focused, but if you love mango like I do, this place hits.

We're always getting some combination of a couple of classic desserts, a crepe, or pancake. As you'd expect, the desserts with mango are tasty and we're also partial to the ones with durian! Sweet but not too sweet, refreshing, and enough variety to keep things interesting. Toppings also had a great texture. Personal favorites are Snow White juice with durian and black rice, special mango juice sago with pomelo w/ mango ice cream, and mango and black rice. I thought the pancakes were just okay - the crepes for them had an interesting texture to me. Also, the crepes were solid, just not what I'd be coming here for. Black sesame paste soup with rice balls was also mid - the rice balls had a great chewy texture, but the black sesame felt a little lacking.

I stumbled upon this food truck while at the Jackson outlets. I decided to try the #2 Açaí bowl. What a great choice that was - phenomenal. I'm talking freshest fruit I've ever had and very generous with the helping! The açaí base was also yummy. I went back again and got the #5 Açaí bowl and was blown away again by the taste and freshness. The only thing I did notice with the #5 bowl is that there was significantly less granola than the other bowl. It may have just been that one time. However, I'd go back again. Correction- I WILL go back again.....soon!!! Also, service was great and staff were friendly.

Never walked away…read morethrilled mostly because of the higher prices compared to other local spots and the length of time it takes to get our order. I love supporting local, so much so that we went here again a week ago to see if anything changed. Sad to report, nothing has changed. The high prices are okay. I get it, everything is expensive nowadays. But the sheer amount of time it takes from the time you walk in the door until you get your order is astonishing. On our last trip, we ordered three items. Arrived at 8:25 and got served after 9:00; after they officially closed for the night. When served our three items, two were wrong and had to be redone. Hopefully things change because there is true potential here. Maybe we'll try again in 2024.
