    Wanna Chill has the kind of laid‑back beach vibe that makes you feel like you're about to fall in love with a dessert. The staff, absolute sweethearts. They greet you with a smile and walk you through any though decisions you may have. The service was smooth and convenient. The shaved ice arrives dramatically, towering, colorful, and clearly hiding secrets with the ice cream below. The quality is legit, fluffy ice, bold flavors, and ice cream so creamy you could taste in every bite. "It's the only place where you can get brain freeze AND inner peace at the same time." Miguel C.

    If location, location, location are the words to live by in real estate then choices, choices, choices are the words to live by in sweets and boy oh boy does Wanna Chill deliver! Not gonna lie, it was a little overwhelming, until the Marvelous Miss Maya came in to save the day!!!! 2 out of three of us were having trouble deciding. One of us, the lactose intolerant one, asked Maya for help. Maya drooped in with all of the knowledge needed to help out dairy free diet kiddo find the perfect treat. Then it was my turn. The mom who doesn't want to spend money or calories unless she can have exactly what she wants how she wants it. Maya is a girl's girl, because she hooked me up with exactly what I needed. Thanks for the great service! Even at the end of their day, Maya and company were all smiles, so helpful, and made my group feel like we were at a party. Highly recommend.

    Best place to get Dole wHip this side of the Pacific Ocean. If you don't feel like traveling all the way to Wahiawa or Disneyland to get soft served Dole wHip or a Dole wHip float, come to Redondo Beach and treat yourself at Wanna Chill. The servers today were great and friendly. Awesome atmosphere! Also, the servings were generous compared to the House of Mouse.

    Every kind of ice cream you could want. Scoops, sundaes, waffle bowls etc but ALSO shaved ice creations and ice cream nachos but ALSO every kind of yummy bubble soda and Hawaiian juices and Japanese fish ice cream bars and even DOLE WHIP.....this place is ice cream nirvana. Service was fast and friendly but it takes awhile because each item is special but hey when you get a warm gooey fudgey brownie in your sundae, you give zero effs about the wait. This place is awesome. Lots of outside seating too but great to take it to go and get out of the way!!

    Big kahuna shaved ice to-go
    Brooke B.

    I love shaved ice & ice cream together, so I'm happy to have this place in the South Bay! The staff were friendly and quick. Sadly my critiques are that the base ice cream scoop seemed super small and I was also surprised that the "big kahuna" was a lot smaller than pictured (still large but not like the picture). I didn't care for the peach flavor, it tasted like weird canned peaches. I'd do all watermelon next time.

    Dessert in Redondo Beach, California... After viewing the sunset at Point Vicente Lighthouse, we looked for a nearby dessert, and "Wanna Chill" popped up on our Yelp apps. We found an easy free parking space right in front of the shop. There was a line out the door, but we eventually got to the front. I wanted the (cute) Kid's Bear dessert, but the cashier said they didn't have it - even though I showed her my photo of the picture menu. Shucks! I quickly had to decide on the Non-dairy Chocolate Chip ice cream. It's made with Oat Milk. It was OK. It wasn't as creamy as real ice cream, but at least I didn't have pain after eating it! Yay!

    Clockwise from top: rocky road, honey churro, strawberry and vanilla, coffee & cookies and honey lavender, pistachio in waffle cone

    Small ice cream shop with a large variety menu. Service was quick and it didn't take long to get our orders. Their prices are a lot cheaper than other ice cream places I've been to, but the quality is still great. I got one scoop of the pistachio ice cream in a cone and it was more than enough. My other friends were feeling adventurous and got two scoops of different flavors - they all enjoyed their choices! My only complaint is I wish there was actual seating. There's an open area outside the shop that they could put chairs but otherwise I would come back to try another item on their menu!

    Frozen yogurt - dole pineapple
    Danni Y.

    So many different options! I got the dole whipped pineapple frozen yogurt which was sweet but balanced with the tartness of pineapple, very thick consistency My friend liked the big stick shaved ice Would want to come back to try the ice cream stuffed in italian bread It can be super crowded but service goes quick, the inside is a bit small.

    A couple time a month I come here! Always friendly prompt service no matter how busy! Great ice cream flavors to be made into sundaes, malts, floats etc... They also have shaved ice! Always fun and Chill vibe for the whole family or a date!

    We always love Wanna chill. Amazing shave ice, drinks, and ice cream and they have amazing customer service. Friendly staff and family vibe. Is a great place to chill in the hot day.

The shaved ice was incredibly light and fluffy, and the combination of fresh blueberries, yogurt, and granola made it refreshing without being overly sweet. The Hojicha Bingsoo was a nice contrast. The roasted tea flavor paired really well with the sweet red bean and crispy puffed rice, making it a great choice if you enjoy deeper, earthy flavors. That said, if I had to pick just one, I'd still go with the Matcha Bingsoo - it remains my favorite here. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the café was clean and inviting.

I usually go to Oakobing in Ktown, but I'm so happy to have a place this good much closer to home. My husband and I recently stopped by for the injeolmi bingsoo, and it absolutely blew my mind. It came topped with red beans, a rich peanut butter-like paste (I'm not exactly sure what it was, but it was delicious), a generous dusting of injeolmi powder, and condensed milk on the side to drizzle over everything. As you dig into the fluffy shaved ice, you're rewarded with surprise chunks of chewy mochi hidden throughout, and I believe there were even more red beans waiting at the bottom. Every bite was packed with flavor and texture. It was so good that I'm craving another bowl just thinking about it. *Drools* I'm not sure how busy it gets during the day since we've only visited after dinner, but we've always found plenty of parking. It's the perfect dessert spot to cool off on a hot summer evening, and definitely one I'd recommend if you're in the area.

When scanning the shops for a caffeination boost, I couldn't stop thinking about the "Over Caffeinated Cold Brew Float" I saw advertised at Moom Maam. So intriguing! I circled back and ordered the indulgent morning treat, slightly skeptical of such a mix. I'm happy to report though that yes, it was a monstrosity to have first thing in the morning but I'd do it again in a second. You get to pick what flavor gelato is in the coffee and I went with chocolate to which they replied, great choice! I agree, it was such a good mix with the cold coffee brew. The gelato was so creamy with amazing flavor, I can't wait to come back and try more off their menu!

Luckily this was one of the stands that had good reviews, so I gave it a shot. Between the language barrier and my excitement for dessert, I somehow ended up ordering more than I planned. The ice cream was good and the Asian-inspired flavors were definitely different from the usual. It didn't completely blow my socks off, but it was a solid treat. I kept thinking a little syrup or extra topping would've taken it up another level. Overall, glad I tried it. Half the fun of these food events is randomly discovering stuff you normally wouldn't eat anyway. I'd probably check out their Torrance brick-and-mortar location sometime and give them another shot.

Unfortunately, my visit on July 25 was a completely different experience. The black sesame bingsu had a strong pepper-like taste, making it unpleasant to eat. On top of that, the taiyaki we ordered didn't arrive until about 30 minutes later, so we no longer had time to enjoy it at the restaurant and had to take it to-go. When we politely brought up the taste of the bingsu with an employee (a young man with glasses and shoulder-length hair), he became defensive, spoke to us rudely, and walked away in the middle of the conversation before we could finish explaining the issue. At that point, we weren't even complaining about the delayed taiyaki. We simply wanted to let them know something seemed wrong with the dessert. We did eventually receive an apology for the delayed taiyaki, but only after we asked about the reason for the delay. The employee explained that he had mixed up our order with another table. I've supported Okrumong for years, which makes this experience especially disappointing. Everyone makes mistakes, and a delayed order or a food quality issue can happen. What really stood out was how the situation was handled. I hope the management takes customer service more seriously, because this visit was far below the standard I've come to expect from Okrumong.

These candies are dairy free, gluten free, sodium free, low in sugar, and beautifully packaged in a way that feels like you're really getting something special. The taste of these is mildly sweet and mildly flavored. The texture is the best part, with soft centers, firm exteriors, and fun crunchy "rock" bits: great contrasts. I'm not a big fan of Japanese sweets, but if you are, these are a prime example. But honestly? Mostly I'm grateful for having a special food to share with my loved ones.
