Overall: 3.5 stars Check out this place if youre in Little Saigon area & after a late night dinner you feel like you want dessert / something sweet to get a good sugar high to end your night =) But then you realize that most of the dessert places are closed because its Little Saigon & for some reason more than 1/2 of the places here close by 9 PM?? Low & behold, this place opens until 12 midnight =) I do hope that there will be other places that are similar to this to open up & stay open late for the younger crowds to hangout & have fun =) Green tea shaved ice w/ lychee & Mochi toppings & condensed milk drizzled on top. 2 stars ( I was not impressed) Regular is on the small size compared to other places like Snow station/ Tastea =( Green tea flavor was kinda bland too. =( Macaron ice cream sandwich: Strawberry Macaron w/ Pistachio ice cream in the middle. 3 stars for mostly the ice cream, the macaron turned cold because of the ice cream & didnt add much to the ice cream, I would have preferred having the ice cream alone by itself. Mint chocolate chip Ice cream w/ Vanilla waffle & whipped cream: 4 stars This was the best of the 2 orders.. =) The waffle complemented the ice cream ;-) Thai Tea: 4 stars Great creamy flavor, better with no ice & whipped cream. =) Jasmine milk Tea: 3 stars Not enough Jasmine flavor in this, more milky than anything =( Strawberry lemonade: 3 stars Too much lemonade & sour taste, needs more of strawberry flavor =( Service: slow, they need to hire more waiters/ waitresses to handle the long lines during late nights. They also should turn on the AC, it starts to get hot inside the store with so many bodies inside. -2 Seating: 1st come, 1st serve. They need to add more tables somewhere to handle the crowds. Tip: Drinks: Mason jar deal: if you buy the jar, the next time you can bring the jar in for a discount on your drink. =) great idea.

WA WA WEE WAH! Ive found new food crushes! Shaved snow & Belgian waffles a la mode! After meeting up for some KBBQ, we all decided that we needed something sweet. But.....I thought I was sweet? :( But, I digress..... Monique recommended we drive a few blocks to Snow Monster. To me, it was more like Snow Nirvana. Ive never had shaved snow before, so I left it to Mo as to what we should have. Mango shaved snow w/ lychee poppers, fruit jelly etc. Peanut Butter shaved snow w/ Cinnamon Toast Crunch etc. These were smooth & velvety. Didnt seem like ice, at all. The portions were huge & enough to share for 9 people. Mango gets the nod for me over the Peanut Butter, but both were amazing! Belgian waffles a la mode… Sweet, sinful & diet-busting! Ice cream is always good, but the waffle was the star, here. So very good! One of us was a waffle snob, and she gave high praise for the ones at Snow Monster. If all this wasnt enough, she also ordered another waffle & the mother of all hot chocolates Kathy, the owner, was uber-friendly & hospitable. She didnt mind my plethora of questions regarding their menu. Everything is made fresh, no powders or fake stuff. She let me sample their seasonal pumpkin ice cream & their green tea ice cream. The place isnt too big, but managed to accomodate us. The dining area, along with the restroom, were clean. Games are available to pass the time, like Jenga. If they had Hungry Hungry Hippos, it wouldbe been on! I loved everything I had the pleasure to sample! What a way to cap the night. As General Douglas MacArthur told the Filipinos in WWII, "I shall return!" Highly recommend! NOMNOMNOMNOMNOMNOM

Located next door to a popular pho location, Snow Monster is a milk tea/ice cream sandwich chain (there are currently 4 that I know of off the top of my head in Irvine, Huntington Beach, and Long Beach). I personally find the drinks a bit too sweet for my taste. Almost to the point as if they intentionally spilled extra sugar in their drinks. If their sugar had a volume rocker, itd be at like 13 of 10. Their Macron Ice Cream Sandwiches are good though. They are soft/chewy/tasty goodness. Too bad they dont sell them as just plain macarons. Theyd do much better since not everyone wants ice cream. I tried the strawberry macaron with the vanilla ice cream, but wound up giving the ice cream to someone else. Their green tea milk latte was ok. their thai ice tea was ok, had to send it back cause i asked for less sugar and they didnt adjust.

Im not too excited about Snow Monster. I love the fact that they are trying to be more sustainable by using mason jar for future refills. It is an extra $2 for the mason jar and I cant tell if they are following the trend of mason jars or genuinely want people to refill their jars in the future. It is a great idea nevertheless. My friends loved their drinks and thought it was pretty good with good tea flavor. I thought my thai tea was way too sweet. We compared our thai tea and mine was a lot lighter in color. Boba is ok in texture but doesnt have much taste. You can customize your macaroon ice cream sandwich from their good selection of macaroons and ice cream. I didnt try it this time but I wouldnt mind coming back to give it another try.

O-M-G. This place definitely knows what theyre doing! I went for the very first time this weekend and was instantly intrigued to try one of their macaroon ice cream sandwiches. Me and my partner both created our own interesting concoction of a sandwich (mine: churro macaroon w/ coffee ice cream his: fruity pebble macaroon with taro ice cream) and fell in love. We got a mason jar ($2 more from base drink price of $3.90) to share and even the jasmine milk tea was sweetened perfectly. The ambiance really adds to the whole experience as well since they have Jenga & UNO on the side for you to play and hangout with friends. I will definitely be coming back again with my mason jar to refill!

I came all the way from LA just to see what the hype is about this place. I was not disappointed. They have really good tasting boba. It was soft and chewy. I got the thai tea boba and the size that they give you is pretty big. If you pay extra more dollars you can get the bobas in mason jars for you to take home. And if you live there locally or just happen to pass by, you can bring those mason jars again and theyll fill it up for a regular size boba so its a good deal. They also serve other boba flavors. This place does get busy so if you dont want to wait that long line, make sure you come during there down times.

After seeing so many posts about their bottles and drinks, I wanted to drop by since we were in the area. I had my mind set on purchasing a drink in their Mason jar with the cloud. At the last time minute, I decided on just getting a Thai Tea drink. The cloud (cotton candy) would have been too much sugar. The drink came in a nice Mason jar with the Snow Monster logo and the California printed on the jar. The Thai tea tasted really good, not too sweet. The store was small but nicely decorated. Its a great place to hangout to have a drink or dessert.
