    Hidden gem! So amazing! The Dole Whip tastes phenomenal! It tastes better than Disneyland--yes--I said it! On top of that, it's a MUCH better deal and "made with love" as the lady boss said! I just stumbled upon this place after having dinner at the Korean restaurant just a few doors down in the same plaza, and am so glad I did! The decor is super cute, island vibes! They have tons of flavors, but I just wanted the signature Dole Whip. Service is nice. Portions are huge! Thank you so much for these huge portions! AND, they had real fruit, a cherry, and tiki umbrella on top! The owners still have full-time jobs, so this shop is closed Monday and Tuesdays, but you gotta give them a try when they're open! It's their passion project. I can't say enough good things and am so happy I found this treasure in Garden Grove! Quality, quantity, service, etc. are wonderful. I WILL be back! I highly recommend!

    Came to check out this dessert place that just opened in the Korean district! Historically, the only place you can get Dole Whip was at Disneyland, but not you can get it in many places. What I really noticed about this is place is that the specialize in fruit soft serves with various flavors. It's also super affordable. Watermelon (5/5): Tastes super calm and sweet Mango (5/5): Tangy and sweet. Strawberry (5/5): Sweet I really liked this place and will come again when I'm craving desert

    I just discovered my new addiction. First it's refreshing to see a place like this in Garden Grove of all places. Second it's refreshing, literally, to taste such an awesome assortment of flavors. I sampled almost all their flavors and they were all great! And even the samples themselves were huge. Third, the quality, all as smooth as a frozen dessert can be. Truly a dole whip wonderland! :) Fourth, great customer service. Nicest guys around. Long live this place!

    It is a small shop with limited seating. Plaza has plenty of parking spaces. I highly recommend to get the pineapple one as it tastes very similar to the one at Disneyland. They also sell in pint

    The service here was so welcoming and efficient. Even when they're busy, they're very patient and take the time to help you out, which really makes the experience feel warm and personal. They also let you sample a variety of flavors, which is a nice touch. This is a family-owned business, and you can really tell everything is made with care and always served fresh. There are plenty of flavor options to choose from, which makes it fun to try something new each visit. We got the regular pineapple dole whip and the mango dole whip, and both were incredibly refreshing. The mango was especially bright and flavorful, perfect for a sweet treat. When you first walk in, the vibes feel like you're stepping into a whole new place, it's super decorative and inviting, with lots of seating areas to sit, relax, and chat with family and friends. Overall, it's such a cute and refreshing spot!

    One if my FAVORITE little hidden spots for when I'm craving fruity soft serve that is more than just your normal every day ice cream. I truly believe that although location is key, when you have good food, people will come regardless. Not to mention, amazing service, friendly servers, and an amazing pineapply atmosphere. I love the attention to little details like how they have the whole store scented with a tropical air freshener. And the whimsy cute decor. Their dole whip is with no contest and honestly the best that I've had. I've tried other prepackaged ones and pineapple dole whip at other locations but the consistency and texture of the recipe here is kind of unmatched if I'm being honest. It's like disney's dole whip but with a bunch of different flavors. My top pick right now is the mango dole whip with chamoy powder! My husband is partial to the OG pineapple float. Even then, every single flavor we've tried here does not disappoint. This last time, I had the Strawberry & Lemon swirl. Refreshing, tart, and they are SO generous with their portions. So far, I've taken a couple of my friends here and it's safe to say that this place has landed a spot on their yelp bookmarks and probably also melted into their hearts. If you're ever looking for something not too sweet, fruity and refreshing to end the night - please give this place a try. I promise you won't regret it!

    A super underrated spot in Garden Grove! I've been here twice so far, and I've been impressed both times! I think Dole Whip is a super niche and untapped market, and I'm glad such a place opened near my house. The staff is super friendly, as they let you try some samples and explain the flavors/swirls. Everyone serves the desserts with a smile, and they seem to love their customers. I love their pineapple and raspberry flavors, since they have such a great balance of tart and sweet flavor, while not being overly sweet.

    Pineapple Lagoon really hits the spot after a long day of hiking! It's a small little shop in the corner of this plaza. I got a sample of pomegranate and peach and they were both delectable! Although I ended up choosing the peach. There are many flavors and swirls of flavors to choose from each day. They also have fresh fruits as well as other add-ons to your cup. I chose a peach and mango cup with fresh strawberries and tajin powder. I really loved how fresh and sweet the strawberries were, thy complemented my dessert very well! Out of the two, I loved the mango more. It was sweet and delicious and went well with the fresh strawberries add on I picked. They also had some deals for pints to bring home as well so that's pretty neat as well for next time.

    9 oz cup, basically eating the rainbow!

    So fun! The whimsical, eclectic ocean decor makes this place feel super playful, and the vibe is happy all around. They offer 2 samples per person (which you'll need because the fruity flavors all sound amazing.) I love that some are creamy while others are more icy and refreshing, aka the best of both worlds! Service is super friendly and upbeat. The portions are MASSIVE. I got a 9oz and could barely finish it. Creamy mango is my favorite so far, but honestly, you can't go wrong with any flavor here. Absolutely coming back!

    Pineapple Lagoon sounds like a Spongebob reference, looks like a tropical tiki hut, and tastes amazinggggg! You can customize in multiple ways by combining flavors, adding on their various toppings, or making it into a dole float instead! Service is super quick and helpful. The portions were filling and they top it off with a cute umbrella! I got the small-sized pineapple and mango dole whip, which was refreshing, perfect tartness, and not too sweet. It definitely tastes like the one at Disney, maybe even better since it's not as expensive.

    pineapple mango swirl
    Tracy N.

    Got a 9oz pineapple mango swirl to share with my friend. It was only around $6 and a good amount for the two of us. I liked both flavors but the pineapple was def stronger They also allow up to two samples per person. The samples are def big enough that you could share them and try more flavors if you want though

    Best Hawaiian soft serve can't find it anywhere else . Only 5 dollar and can get 3 flavors and swirls !

    Jeffery N.

    Nice small, cozy shop. The owner is really nice and understanding and you really feel comfortable. Great service. The dole whip itself is great. I loved the pineapple dole whip and they have many other flavors, as well as toppings to add to make your very own creation. My sister got a lime and pomegranate. It worked really well if you're looking for a more acidic taste to contrast the sweet.

He got a pig with piglet in butter pecan and milk & oreo flavors, and I got the rose shaped one in black sesame, Pandan mung bean coconut, taro coconut, and durian. Gelato itself is delicious (texture, flavor, sweetness level, everything hits the spot!), I love the selection and variety of all the flavors and all the flavors were delicious too! Prices were fair too, not insanely jacked up and overpriced - especially since I love the unique characters too, which are absolutely adorable! Their attention to detail is amazing! Service is not great though. Only reason I docked a star. They feed into the stereotype of the Vietnamese being cheapskates. They're very stingy with samples - and I'm a paying customer, my friend and I were each getting one. I had tried Pandan mung bean coconut, black sesame, and when I asked for Durian was when the guy started making comments so I had to go ahead and order (didn't like that though). I wanted the rose (since it allowed 4 flavors), and the guy there warned me how the rose won't look that pretty with 4 colors - I said that's fine, I want a lot of flavor options. Also note that the staff speaks fluent Viet - I spoke to them in Viet (southern region accent). Overall my friend and I had a good experience here. We'd still recommend them and will likely come back!

The night market is only during summer time so i was so excited when i heard that they were actually opening their own location! My mom and I been hooked since then on their lychee, Jackfruit, and durian ice cream. The reason why we liked it is because the flavors are rare and hard to find anywhere else. Also, I believe their ice cream is made with really fresh ingredients. You can really taste the freshness and flavor. My mom is extremely annoyingly picky but she actually likes the ice cream from Ant's a lot. I also tried the original flavors and I would highly recommend the strawberry but mostly the pistachio. It was so delicious.! I came for ice cream but the smell of the fresh brewing tea smelled too good to pass up. I tried the original milk tea and all I have to say is wow. You can really taste the strong tea flavor in the drink (which I really like and is usually really picky about). I will definitely be back to try other flavors! I love the inside as there's actually seating and tables inside and outside to mingle with friends. Really rare to see that these days. Customer service was friendly and great. They were patient and allowed us to try samples.

The disappointing part is I was hoping the ice cream would be shaped like a rose as depicted on the picture. Nope, just a scoop and left it as is. 5/5 for taste and 0/5 for presentation. The milk and cereal one was actually pretty good. Especially with Frosted Flakes in it. It literally taste like cereal. 5/5.

We walked into a space that stands out immediately with its themed decor, character designs, and little details that make it feel different from a typical ice cream spot. The shop has a strong personality without relying only on the theme, making it a place that works for both anime fans and anyone looking for unique desserts. The interior is compact but thoughtfully designed, with colorful artwork and small touches that reward a closer look. The biggest highlight is the rotating ice cream selection. The flavors go beyond the usual options, with combinations like ube, sea salt, yuzu orange, and other seasonal creations that give the menu a more adventurous feel. We appreciated that they offer samples before choosing, since the variety makes it hard to decide. The flavors are creative but still approachable, and the dairy-free options are a nice addition for people looking for alternatives. The ube had a rich, earthy sweetness, and the yuzu orange offered a bright, citrusy contrast that kept the tasting experience interesting. The texture of the ice cream was smooth and creamy, and the flavors were well balanced without relying on excessive sweetness. The presentation is also part of the experience. The anime-inspired names, cute designs, and collectible stickers that come with the scoops add a fun element that makes the visit feel more memorable. We noticed a mix of fans and families enjoying the space, and the overall energy of the shop is welcoming and playful. The small details, from the branding to the way the staff interacted with customers, made the visit feel more personal and engaging. Service was friendly and welcoming, and the staff were helpful when explaining the different flavors or letting us try options before committing. They were patient with questions and offered thoughtful recommendations based on what we were in the mood for. The space itself is on the smaller side, so seating can be limited and it may be better suited for grabbing a scoop and enjoying it nearby rather than spending a long time inside. The turnover moves quickly, and the staff manage the flow efficiently. Tsun Scoops is a great dessert stop if you are looking for something more unique than a standard ice cream shop. The combination of creative flavors, anime-inspired atmosphere, and small personal touches makes it feel like a place built around the experience as much as the ice cream itself, offering a visit that is both playful and satisfying.
