Unique taiwanese shaved snow place. there's no other place like this in San Diego that i know of…read more It's a small business that has been around for at least a decade. Very busy friday/weekend nights, lines usually long but if you go weekdays it's better. the snow is made with real ingredients unlike other places that use powders/syrups for flavor. The blocks of snow are already flavored (think of it like a big block or ice cream, just shaved in layers). Service is also generally good! I would recommend getting any dairy based snow with condensed milk layered! it brings out the flavor. the non dairy flavors are like sorbet but also very tasty (i like the lychee or super lemon which tastes like frozen lemonade). if you pick a build your own bowl, it's weighed (snow or softserve) after you get toppings. I notice it's usually between $5-$10 obviously dependent on weight but the minimum is 4.50 so if you are below that, they'll just charge 4.50. I'd recommend this place if you want a lighter sweet treat! Other places can be heavy but because this is shaved, it's easier on the tummy. they do also have waffle creations that seem good for couples to share~ (my favorite is the strawberry shorty, it has cheesecake bites and fresh strawberries, the waffle, and vanilla softserve). they have taiyaki too but it's not like somi somi where there's icecream inside, it's just filled or plain (the nutella one is really good). also their thai tea drink is really good

Sad to report that the Carmel Valley location's been permanently closed for a while now. It's our…read morevery good luck, however, that the Convoy location is open and turning out shaved absolutely exquisite shaved snow. The nutella flavor is nothing short of addictive. They offer other attractive connections as well, mainly various soft server and waffle based treats. Service at the counter is speedy. I just wish they'd pause to clean the tables more frequently. It's quite off putting to be frustrated in the search of a clean table time and time again.

I felt I had to try the waffle fish even though I didn't get traditional Asian flavors. I'm glad they had some chocolate type flavors, but felt they could've had more. They had four flavors of soft serve: cookies and cream, ube, matcha, and pistachio. They had custard, red bean, black sesame, and Nutella fillings for the fish waffle cones. I was expecting the come to be crispy, but it was more like a fresh waffle. There was a short line to order on a Saturday evening, but the wait wasn't bad at all. They have three outdoor picnic tables and some benches. Parking is tough in this area, but we were able to find street parking a few blocks away. Nice spot for an after dinner treat!

The person who runs the spot was lat so I had to wait awhile before ordering, which was okay. I ordered the traditional black milk tea with no boba and the popcorn chicken. They have a great combo special which is one boba drink and a bite off the "Bites" menu for $9.99 plus tax. It's a great deal. The black milk tea was good. It was smooth and rich but the black tea flavor needed more of that black tea flavor. It was mild yet tasty of course. The popcorn chicken was very good. The deep fried chicken morsels had a nice well seasoned crisp light breading and the all white meat chicken inside was very tender. They served the popcorn chicken with a side of sweet & sour sauce, and hot mustard & ketchup. The popcorn chicken was definitely a repeat. The older gent who stepped in to take my order and make my beverage was a regular who works at Wong's. He was kind and helpful.
