The bingsoo my friend and I shared from here was delicious!…read more We shared the Blueberry Yogurt and Hojicha Bingsoos at the single serve size and both of them were great. The Blueberry Yogurt one really tasted like eating a cup of blueberry yogurt. The dollop of yogurt was nice and the blueberries were plump and fresh. The Hojicha one also had great flavor. I liked the nutiness of it. The cereal, dalgona, and red bean also added good flavors and textures. I like how the flavorings were embedded in layers throughout the bingsoo. The ice itself was okay though. It could've been softer and smoother, but still good nonetheless. The flavors and toppings really carried the bingsoos. I'd recommend both flavors. The cafe interior is super cute too. Love the design. I saw some people with laptops, so this could be a potential work/study spot? There's also lots of free parking underground.

All of them were great, but the green grape was definitely my favorite So refreshing, not artificial tasting at all, and the sweetness was perfect. You can really taste how fresh the flavors are. Definitely coming back! service was great too... we had to wait a bit to find seats but it was all worth

Sweet Rice is my #1 restaurant that I recommend to everyone to try!…read more Everything here tastes so good and since it's more of a "breakfast" spot, it has items on the menu that your typical Thai restaurant doesn't have. My go-to items are the Thai Omelette with Shrimp, Roast Duck Noodle Soup, Tom Yum noodle soup, and Cha Manao which is Thai Tea with Lime. Gardena has so many great restaurants and Sweet Rice is such a great addition to the community! The plaza that it's in has other yummy restaurants and boba/dessert as well.

I usually get the beef option and it's perfect with the coconut curry broth, crunchy fried noodles, and fresh veggies all working together so well. I also love dining in because they offer a variety of spice options. There's even a little setup with jars of different chilies and spices so you can adjust the heat to your liking. My husband wanted something sweet so we shared the mango sticky rice and it was so addicting especially with warmer weather starting to roll in. It really feels like summer is on the way !!! On top of the food, the customer service is always so kind and attentive. 10/10 highly recommend!

A lot of people parked in areas that are forbidden to park or just stayed in the middle of the lane with double signal on and out of their car because they are only trying to pick up togo.

This store is merged with another boba shop so order from the correct cashier! Super nice and friendly. Service was fast and small shop.

The café itself is SUPER spacious with plenty of seating, making it a really comfortable spot to sit, relax, study, or catch up with friends. One thing we immediately noticed was how kind and courteous all of the workers were. The customer service felt very welcoming from the moment we walked in. I also loved that when your drinks are ready, they actually bring them out to you instead of calling you up to the counter -- such a nice touch that made the experience feel more personal. For drinks, I ordered the Oreo Matcha Brûlée Latte and my little sister got the Vietnamese coffee, and WOW... both were SO delicious. My matcha drink was rich, creamy, and perfectly balanced with the Oreo flavor, while the Vietnamese coffee was smooth, strong, and flavorful. You can tell they put care into their drinks here. Overall, such a great first experience and we'll definitely be back again soon!

When I first walked inside, I totally felt the vibe and spacious. Friendly staff and open to offering recommendations. Never tried it before, but it stood out to me for some reason. I ordered the Egg Foam Iced Coffee. It was nothing like what I expected and instantly wanted to down my drink. It was creme brulee like and the coffee taste still shined through.

This place has the best reviews around for churros so we gave it a try. Sunday afternoon and it was empty. Only one lady in front of us. Only one person tending both the cashier and kitchen. Took about 30min to get our churros and funnel cake. I can't imagine when it's more packed, hopefully there's more people working. The gunner cake was a 9/10, I usually don't finish them because they are too oily. This one was perfect, but they put on too much strawberry sauce, the funnel cake was too wet with it. I'll ask for less next time. The churros were 10/10, much better than the ones we get elsewhere I also got a café de olla and that one was very yummy but a little too sugary for my liking. Will definitely be back to try more items from here!!
