tsun scoops - Reincarnated as a Lime (TikTok: @justandyvu) - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Tsun Scoops is an anime-inspired ice cream shop that focuses on creative flavors, fun presentation, and a playful atmosphere. 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. read more

Super cute shop! The decor was so anime and the scooper was so nice and she gave us hefty scoops. Aside from the ambiance and service, that was pretty much the extent of the positives. My friend and I got the hojicha and salted butter ice cream, both of which was either meh or just okay. The hojicha wasn't creamy and had an Italian ice texture but slimier...? The flavor was also not super strong and after finishing half, the flavor became nonexistent. The salted butter one was supposed to have chunks of milk bread but the specks were too small and the ice cream tasted like straight butter. This one was super creamy and rich though, which we liked, but it was too buttery with nothing to balance it out. Ratings Hojicha: 1/5 Salted Butter: 3.5/5 read more

Everything I wrote in my previous review is still true! This ice cream shop has mastered the art of consistency, from their fun takes (and anime-inspired puns) on the frozen dessert to their wonderful customer service and generous scoops. My favorite flavor is pandan (on rotation occasionally), but I also still love the sea salt flavor (and I only recently realized this might be a reference to the Kingdom Hearts franchise?! Which makes me love tsun even more). Ambiance is cozy and inviting (with colorful wall art and window stickers), but there aren't any tables or chairs, so your only option is to take your ice cream to go. Still, this is one of my favorite places for a sweet treat! read more

tsun scoops - Double scoop with lavender flavor ice cream and matcha pandan ice cream (on the bottom) - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Garden Grove, California

This anime-themed dessert shop is located in a small, U-shaped plaza. After various samples, I ended up with a dairy-free chocolate that was interesting (icy yet not super creamy) but still tasty. The fruit-based sorbets probably would've been better to get during the heatwave, so I'd try one next time. They sadly ran out of the limited-time earl grey ice cream I was so excited to try. Pros: refreshing, smooth sorbets and fun-flavored ice creams; friendly service offering free samples; merch is available for anime fans Cons: small parking lot that fills up pretty quickly, so you either gotta wait until someone backs up, or go early or during non-peak times; flavors can run out, so emphasis on getting there early; tiny shop was a bit stuffy read more

If you've been searching for an anime themed ice cream shop serving up both ice cream and sorbets, then look no further! Service was friendly and allowed us to sample different flavors before making a final decision. I ultimately went with a single scoop of Black Butterscotch. I appreciated the large portion size and the ice cream was creamy deliciousness! FYI - an unpeeled anime sticker is attached to the end of every spoon so you might want to keep yours as a reminder of your visit. read more

Stopped by for the Neopets collab and was so excited! It was like my childhood and nostalgia in one shop... mixed with ice cream! The staff member was super nice explaining all the different options that were dairy free vs with dairy, and even talked about all the different collaborations they've done before. This spot is tucked in a super random shopping center, but it's really obvious when you are turning in from the road on where it is! I ordered a dairy free lavender rose water freeze and it was so light and refreshing! Since I already followed Tsun Scoops and Neopets, I also got a free blind sticker pack. The merch is super cute too, so definitely will stop by here if I'm ever back in the Garden Grove area! read more

Did I drive 3+ hours just for ice cream? Yes, I did. tsun scoops is having a collaboration with Hatsune Miku so of course I had to make a visit!!! tsun scoops is tucked away in the corner of a little plaza on Brookhurst, but you can't miss its cute sign that helps it stand out. They had some special flavors for the collaboration such as Tiramiku (tiramisu), Hatsune Mintku (mint w/ blueberries), and Miku's Magical Matcha (matcha and rosewater). I ordered a chibi scoop of Miku's Magical Matcha. The ice cream was smooth and delicious! It was so nice to be among other Miku fans. The service was super sweet too! I love how this ice cream shop embraces anime and vocaloid. read more

I came here for the Shugo Chara x Tsun Scoops Collab and before even stepping foot into the store, I can tell how much love the staff dedicated to their store! The outside was adorned with Shugo Chara official art, along with signage inside as well. I briefly talked to the manager who served my friend and I and he was very passionate about the quality of his ice cream and how he was able to make this nostalgic Collab come alive (I grew up with this anime!). I also loved how I was able to sample every ice cream flavor from the Collab and how patient they were! The merchandise was super cute as well and I of course had to grab some merch along with the ice cream. Thank you so much Tsun Scoops for your dedication to hosting amazing collabs! I will come here again soon for the Miku Collab hehe read more

Somehow, it has already been a little over four years since I first stepped foot into this anime-themed ice cream shop called Tsun Scoops. As a guy who has worked in jobs that involve number-crunching for over a decade, I think there's something poetic about me writing this review four years in. To modify a catchphrase from the the popular '90s pro wrestling faction, the New World Order (nWo), "When you're Tsun Scoops, you're Tsun Scoops 4Life." In order to attain this level of commitment from a customer, I'd say a business needs to have 4 qualities: 1) Excellent Leadership 2) An Aesthetically-Pleasing Presentation 3) Elite Products 4) Staff who are All In on the mission Tsun Scoops has all these qualities in spades! At the top, you've got the owner, Huy, who is the architect of this shop! There's a saying, "Measure TWICE, cut once." Huy started this venture with a dream. He diligently envisioned all the components needed to create a successful business. Then he put that plan into action! The moment you walk into Tsun Scoops, it is as if you are entering a Utopia of anime bliss. You have original characters like the green-haired, ice cream-with-a-cherry-on-top-beanie-wearing Cream-chan, along with popular characters from various collaborations like Hatsune Miku. I apologize that I can't name all of them, but trust me, you get a good variety of characters that make you look forward to seeing how they will be presented in each new collaboration. Huy makes his ice cream from scratch, creating unique names to go along with them. As a Filipino-American, one of my favorites has always been the uwube (Ube flavor). With that flavor, I get to experience a taste that is familiar to my palette while getting back in touch with the more innocent and cutesy side of my personality. Yup, I'm not ashamed to say that, because at Tsun Scoops, "Your inner otaku is not just welcomed, it's allowed!" (Modified quote from retired Greek-Filipino pro wrestler and current actor Dave Bautista.). Other reviews would have already covered this, but the idea behind the name "Tsun" is from the anime term "tsundere" which is a compound word. "Tsun" represents the dark side of a character, while "dere" represents the affectionate side of a character. Tsun Scoops separates their ice creams with Tsun (non-dairy) flavors on the left side and Dere (dairy - it's a pun, which, as a Filipino-American, I can appreciate since we make puns all the time) flavors on the right side. My favorite thing is to get the best of both worlds by ordering a double scoop with one flavor from each side. If you really want to have the tsundere experience, select your first scoop from the Dere side and your second scoop from the Tsun side. So you'll start eating from the Tsun side and gradually unlock the Dere portion of your personality. But you know, you can do it however you want! Huy also adds limited-time unique flavors for each collaboration event. So even if you're a regular who has tried all of the usual flavors, the collabs will keep you coming back for something new! Finally, I have to give a shout out to the staff. Often times, with food service jobs, you can recognize when people are just there for a paycheck. They could care less about the business, which may detract from a customer's enjoyment of the business. But that's not the case at Tsun Scoops. The staff are All In with their commitment to their role. They serve as an extension of the owner Huy's warm and enthusiastic demeanor. Having said that, each staff member maintains their own level of individuality. So just like a good anime, you get a good mix of personalities who add to the story and enhance your enjoyment of the Tsun Scoops experience. To quote a song by the K-Pop group TWICE, Tsun Scoops is truly "One in a Million." If you love ice cream, you'll love Tsun Scoops. If you love anime, you'll love Tsun Scoops. If you love ice cream and anime, you'll be in for TWICE the fun. And if you also love TWICE, Tsun Scoops will give you the chance to find your moment to be "Like Ohh-Ahh" in a way that's genuine. And don't forget, "When you're Tsun Scoops, you're Tsun Scoops 4Life!" Enjoy the experience! read more

PARKING: It's a relatively medium lot but it didn't seem busy enough that it would fill up even on a good day. SEATING: No seating, but lots of standing room outside to enjoy! SERVICE: Both staff members were extremely friendly and helped talk through the flavors of the ice cream with us. They even exchanged a hoodie for me that I bought there for a collaboration with Neopets when I found a factory defect, no questions asked. FOOD: I got the mini scoop of Kougra's Orange Smash which was a flavor profile of both orange and strawberry. It kinda tasted like a Flintstones push pop! But this ice cream had just the right amount of sweetness. It was absolutely perfect. I already want to go back ASAP! OVERALL: 10/10, shop local!! Definitely was so happy to see this shop collab with Neopets, a childhood favorite. Amazing ice cream along with a great team behind them! read more

They have cute collabs and I like how they decorate the storefront and name their flavors in accordance with themes. It's also cool they sometimes have limited merch as well. They have unique flavors and pack so much in one cup. The server was really nice in letting us try their flavors. Will definitely come again! read more

Do not go here unless you want to be disappointed. It's literally grocery store ice cream. Didn't even finish because of how bad it was. It has a strong anime theme which is where the 5 star reviews are coming from as they do collabs often. Read it for yourself, but sort by 1-star and you'll see the truth. Take out the anime and you're left with a dirty ice cream shop with sub par product. You have been warned. read more

Love their collabs and loved the music they were playing today especially. Support Small businesses! They have two sides of flavors. Left side is Non dairy and right side is Dairy more creamy and the non dairy is more Sorbet less creamy more icy. Love the totally spies flavors. Workers are always nice and always letting me sample every flavor so I know which one I will be Satisfied walking out with. Sea Salt ice cream is to die for I almost want like a pint. Not just savory and sweet but its own delicious flavor. read more

The ice cream was pretty good :) interesting flavors but ramune was sold out when I went. The price was very reasonable ($6 for single scoop) for the hulking big scoop given The staff was very friendly and kind as well The inside was pretty cute too, especially for the Neopet collab read more

Came here because my friend highly recommended it, and because apparently it was anime-themed and had unique flavors. This place definitely didn't disappoint! The guy at the front was the owner of the store and was very friendly and helpful. He let us try as many flavors as we wanted, and was very passionate about all the unique ice cream flavors they had. To be honest, I tried almost half of them and they were all really good! Flavors you wouldn't find in 99% of other ice cream shops. The decor inside was also top notch. I'm an avid anime watcher myself, and I love how much attention to detail they put into designing the look of the store. I'm definitely coming back here to try more of the flavors. Would highly recommend for anyone who likes either anime or really unique ice cream shops. read more

The service is also amazing as every time I come the staff makes it an easy and enjoyable experience. There isn't any seating inside or outside but I love this little shops designs and decals!

Such a cute little ice cream shop! The ice cream itself is a delicious sweet treat, and even the spoons are adorable. They also feature fun ice cream flavor names, anime collabs, and merch for sale (not sure how often, though). The MC size comes with two scoops, which is perfect for sharing between two people. When I visited in the late afternoon, some of the popular flavors had almost run out. And I do wish there was some seating available, whether inside or outside. Other than that, this place is so cute, and the service was good. If you get the chance, definitely stop by! 4.5/5 read more

My fiancé and I came here on a Monday night. The parking was easy to find as it's in a plaza. I figured it wouldn't be too busy (cause who goes out on a Monday night lol), but we actually came in right after a big group! However, we were able to order in like 10-15 minutes. You're allowed to try samples which is really nice and the worker helping out was very sweet and fast, too. I wanted to get the limited flavors since I came for the Shugo Chara collab so I ended up getting honey pistachio & lavender blueberry. Next time, I'll probably get the sea salt ice cream! read more

I've been supporting this business since it opened. They've consistently give great portions for a small scoops. I feel bad for giving an honest review, but I want to see improvement. Any floral-flavored ice cream they served was extremely creamy. There would be a subtle flavor, but it wouldn't be strong. I had their rose and lavender flavors before and it was very subtle. Their recent milk tea flavor did not have any flavor of milk tea at all; it tasted like straight up milk cream. Their coffee flavor is consistently strong, and I wish it was the same level of taste for the milk tea. read more

I saw one of the artists I followed on instagram was having a pop-up event at this icecream shop. I just so happened to be in the area during that week so it was a perfect chance to check it out! The inside is small but pretty cute. No seating inside. The worker was friendly. He let us sample any of the flavors. I didn't know they often did collabs/pop-up events which is such a fun and great concept! I'll definitely come back to see their other events! read more

cute little shop! I went about an hour before closing and they ran out of a few flavors so I will have to go back to try the others. ordered a guppy cup size (one scoop) of Mom's home remedy (honey citron) flavor and the blue raspberry one. I say this is similar to an ice/sorbet texture, super soft and doesn't melt fast. I think the flavors are very light and subtle which I am a big fan of. staff was great and helpful letting us try flavors and it was a perfect sweet treat! read more

tsun scoops - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Garden Grove, California

I went to Tsun Scoop's on a warm summer day. I heard about this place through my social media. I was curious since I like anime, unique dessert treats, and this was right in the OC! The place is in an Asian shopping plaza. Parking can be scarce but I would recommend parking on the top floor of the parking structure in the back. Service was very friendly. The gent behind the counter allowed me to sample flavors before deciding on my honey and rose water ice cream. I had the smallest size and it was about $4.50. This was like a rosey floral version of a cookies and cream. I would totally buy again! The store is pretty small. There's a few photo zones but if you were planning on consuming before you leave you could do it outside the shop. Also for old school anime fans, I love their play on words for their flavors! Good place to check out especially if you love anime like me! read more

Friendly service, came here for the Neopets promo. Parking was a little tough since it's a small plaza and there were a lot of other customers so a lot of the flavors had run out. From what I got, I did like it. Very cutesy fruit/bubblegum flavors. This is a more gelatinous/chewy texture for those who prefer icier or creamier textures. I did like it though. Would come back for another promo I think, they sell merch here too. No room for seating though, so you're kinda just standing outside of the store eating your ice cream. Scoop size was generous though. read more

Back in the day, I was OBSESSED with Neopets, so when I saw the collab I knew I had to check it out. I asked myself if the drive was really worth it just for ice cream and a sticker. My curiosity won me over. Sampled a few flavors and was not particularly impressed with any of them. Settled on the sea salt flavor, but none of them were really that good. Love the collabs and the cute store, but the ice cream is an unfortunate miss. I love supporting small businesses but I would not drive here for the ice cream again. The sticker was really cute though. read more

Tsun scoops offers more unique ice cream flavors - specifically Asian inspired flavors which is what brought me and my friends to try it out. The place is tucked into a corner of a small plaza area so you might miss it if you don't look too closely. Parking wasn't too hard to find though. When we went they had a collab going on with a small artist which was really cute! The decor was cute and fitting for the artist. I believe they made some special flavors in collaboration. I honestly can't remember exactly what flavors me and my friends got but the ice cream was good (that's all I remember lol). The naming of each flavor is very cute and punny - you'll definitely understand it if you're into anime. Service was nice - the staff was super friendly and patient with us when we were deciding on what to order. They also allow sampling which helped us decide what flavors we wanted. Overall a decent ice cream shop with unique asian inspired flavors. If you're looking for some flavors you won't find in a typical ice cream shop then you should check this place out. read more

This place is all cosplay, no craft. Beyond the anime esthetic is ice cream that tastes like sad, freezer burned grocery store tubs. Rebranded, scooped, and sold with a markup. Flat flavors, icy texture, zero depth. It's the kind of "premium" that relies on vibes because the product can't carry itself. Also, it smells read more

As much as I wish I liked this place cause small local businesses should be supported, unfortunately I don't like this place at all lol. First step in and I smelled shit like as if someone took a fat dump in the front lobby or something. Flavors are unique but they fall short in execution. The ice cream is a bit too icy. I also find it gummy and it also tastes really artificial. read more

A very cute, quaint ice cream joint in Garden Grove. The shopping center that tsun is located in is very run-down and definitely gives hole in the wall vibes. If you look past the exterior, the shop itself has a lot of personality. It's very small with no sitting room to enjoy your ice cream but I appreciated the themed decor. As the name suggests, tsun scoops is anime themed. From the flavors, to the merchandise, and even the wall art are all true to its namesake. I appreciate this attention to detail. Tried their super sugoi salt ice cream which was surprisingly delicious. They're quite generous with their scoop and a single plus the mochi topping came out to $5.25 which is a decent price in this economy. May update this review in the future once I've tried more flavors. read more

SUPER adorable ice cream shop catered towards anime fans! Ice Cream: 10/10 I got the "Ramune 1/2" and " girls und pandan" flavors. The Ramune 1/2 was really good. Definitely reminded me of Ramune flavor. If you like ube flavor then you'll most likely like their "girls und pandan". The pandan flavor can best be described as a lighter earthy taste than ube. All the ice cream here are really good and have super fun and creative names especially if you're an Anime fan! Service: 10/10 The person who served us ice cream (sorry I forgot to ask his name) was super friendly and nice! Tips: When you come the shop itself is located in a small corner of the plaza, you wouldn't know it was there if you weren't looking. Shop itself on the inside is pretty small as well. More of an order to go type when I went. When I visited them they did not have any seats inside the shop so we had to go back to our car to enjoy the ice cream. Kind of a shame because we really wanted to sit and enjoy the awesome music they had on in the shop. Hoping they will fix this later on. Parking is a decent sized lot. Not too much to worry about in regards to finding a spot when we went. read more
