Salju Dessert

Shaved Snow!
love the variety of flavored/​toppings they offer and prices are decent.
The smell of crêpe really makes this place great! Feels so warm and toasty inside + crêpe smell! YUM
Each one comes with snow, syrup, toppings
S — $ 3.95 =2 toppings
M– $ 5.50 = 3 toppings
Tried
Almond Shaved Snow– pretty good toasty flavor
Almond jelly/​grass jelly/​mochi/​condensed milk
This combination was pretty good first time trying the jellys and they were good.
Crêpe
Got the mixed fruits because I love fruits –not the best since the vanilla ice cream clashes with the snow
Crêpe was thin and crispy
Should’ve just stuck with classic Nutella but will go again!
Didn’t like how the crêpe came like a single ice cream cone so it was hard to share with friends…

It looks like a lot of ice, but it’ll melt in your mouth like cotton candy. It’s so light – perfect for an afternoon or late night snack. Almond flavored shaved ice with aloe and rice balls for toppings is a winner, but there are plenty of other ice flavors and toppings to choose from. Another plus: there are a number of tables here, so you can «chill» with your friends while enjoying your shaved ice.

I am SUPER picky about shaved ice. In all the shaved ice places I have tried in California I only like two places & Salju is one of them.
Their shaved ice is so fluffy it just melts in your mouth. The best thing about their dessert is their flavors. I have tried most of their flavors & I love them all. All their flavors are rich but not too sweet. They have a lot of toppings to choose from or you can go topping less. You could split flavors if you get the better size.
The store is pretty small. Could only seat about 30ish people. They have one bathroom for the customers.
Parking: there is a small parking lot attached to the store or you could park on the street for free.

Green tea matcha with red bean and boba with condensed milk added! =D This is what I always order whenever I get snow ice anywhere! Always yummy and refreshing!
They have many flavors you can choose from and there’s only 2 a size: small or medium. The small size comes with 2 free toppings and I believe the medium comes with 3 toppings.
Adding syrup is optional, but I would suggest if you do get snow ice to add syrup to give it the perfect sweetness! Don’t forget to grab the condense milk on the side which makes the snow ice experience even better!
They also serve crepes and drinks as well!

I have to say I really like Salju. I’m not a big fan of shaved ice or snow, but Salju somehow changed my mind. I’ve been here a few times and I always get their Black Sesame snow with Condensed Milk, egg pudding, and rice balls. That combination seems to always work (no matter where you go), but it tastes exceptional here! Once you get your order, you can always ask them for another bottle of condensed milk so that you and your table could add as much as needed. The only reason I’m giving this place less than perfect is that a few times I’ve been here, they’ve ran out of a topping that I’ve wanted, and sometimes, seating can be limited. But it’s not a biggie.
Salju’s got so many combinations that you could choose from! I’ve also tried their green tea and it was also pretty good. With tons of flavors, tons of toppings, and different sauces, there will always be something for everyone! And as if shaved ice/​snow wasn’t enough, Salju also comes with a variety of Crêpe options as well! Honestly, I’m more of a crêpe fan in general, than I am a shaved ice/​snow fan… however, when at Salju, Snow is the Way To Go!

Pretty good — swing by if you’re in the neighborhood! Lots of flavors to choose from and a decent amount of seating. I’m new to shaved snow and have only had it at Class 302 in Rowland Heights, but I’m happy to say that the taste is just as good and there are a LOT more flavors — we had the matcha (green tea) and Thai tea shaved snows. A bit light on the toppings and I wish that there was more condensed milk added.
Note — $ 10 credit card minimum (basically two mediums!)

Order lychee snow ice with condensed milk, mochi, and aloe. BEST COMBINATION.
They have 8 or so tables, brightly lit atmosphere and its the perfect place to taiwanese shave ice and chill. Shaved snow is light, fluffy and an icecream with a frozen yogurt texture that is also sort of like shaved ice.

So there is shaved ice…
There is also shave ice…
And now, we have shaved snow.
Salju does the shaved snow justice. The snow is incredibly fluffy and flavorful. I prefer the green tea flavor.
Pro tip: They have a squeeze bottle of condensed milk available on the side of you want extra for your yummy dessert.

In terms of shaved snow shops, this place has a lot of things going for it. It’s got good flavor choices (Pandan, Vietnamese Coffee, Almond, etc.), the quality is pretty good, the toppings are good (especially the rice ball), and it’s fairly priced. Sounds like a deal… So why the 4 stars only? Well I’m still reserving 5 stars for Class 302, Blockheads, and SnowLA… In my opinion, those are the top 3 of LA that I’ve tried that are worthy of 5 stars.
The store isn’t too big and can get a little stuffy. Free Wifi. Credit Card only on minimum of $ 10 purchase.

This is my favorite go-​to place for snow ice! (I have over 18 official check-​ins here, and more unaccounted for!)
There are so many flavor options, fresh fruits, nuts, and other yummy toppings! They also serve delicious crepes (some w/​ice cream options) and milk teas. Although their milk teas taste watered down, the caffeine content is through the roof! Beware and enjoy! :)
I see that they’re always trying to come up with something new… can’t wait to see what they create next!

Who had the fluffiest snow in all the land?
I was shocked by how fluffy Salju’s shaved snow was. As a big Snowdays NYC fan, I thought my standards were pretty high already, but Salju raised that bar even more.
First off, their snow menu is much more extensive, offering over 12 different flavors, ranging from fruity to traditional Asian. I opted for the Thai iced tea with condensed milk, grass jelly, and rice balls. (Think mochi but wetter and larger).
Honestly a verbal explanation won’t do the fluffiness justice. Imagine sinking a spoon into a fresh bed of snow, but it tastes exactly like a Thai iced tea, slowly melts in your mouth, and you want to keep taking a bite. The small was the perfect portion after the meal we had, but if given more, I would’ve kept going.
Definitely a must-​try if you’re in the mood for some Asian sweets.

One of the best shaved snow or ice places. The flavor of the snow is authentic and taste the way they should and is true to its name. The flavor were not over or too less, you can taste it and smell it especially the durian flavor and most if not all the flavors were amazing. I prefer this over ice cream, The snow melts just perfectly in your mouth and was like flavor explosion in your mouth.
Location: Parking is a bit cramped and small, Not many spaces available if busy. It is a hidden gem for dessert and would be a great place for dessert right after a big meal.
Small has 2 toppings. Medium 3. 2 toppings is already enough for one person and three is more suited for those who are sharing but you can share two flavors separately if you get the small, so you can go wrong with either choices.
I had the lychee most often which was superb, as well as honeydew, pandan, and durian. All taste as good as they sound. Most are tasty. Mochi is the popular topping and it fits most flavors since it is so perfect to compliment every flavor without hindering any taste. I also like grass jelly in mine which makes it that much more healthy! The dessert comes out really fast, and sometimes may be drippy but still awesome and no complaints from me! Cash would be preferred as well. Self serve condensed milk and water.
Families, friends, couples, singles, everyone comes here and you can’t go wrong with what they have to offer. So why not give your taste buds and awesome treat and try out something new! Five Star just fantastic!

I think what makes their shaved iced so good is that they taste exactly what they claim to be whereas some places is a faint flavor loaded up with fillers. Here, the ice stands out by itself.
Lately i have been seeing lines out the door. As they are becoming more popular and available (opened until 11pm, unlike blockheads 10pm) and no other shaved iced nearby, they are gaining hype and i agree with it.
Small has 2 toppings. Medium 3. Always go for medium for 2 people because more likely than not, you will want a little more.
Thai Tea is great although a little on the sweeter side! just like the beverage. I have had green tea, lychee (just okay), sesame. Most are tasty. Mochi is the popular topping and it fits most flavors since it is so neutral. Taro pudding was excellent too. The desert looks like a mess, they don’t focus on aesthetics unfortunately, but it comes fast.
Parking in their small lot, usually space available and very easy.
**The choice for after 10pm shaved ice in Alhambra**

Amazing! Such a hidden gem. Came in just before it closed and I felt extremely bad but I was still warmly welcomed by the manager. This place requires a $ 10 minimum to use card so have cash handy!
I got their green tea with mango and strawberries on top with condensed milk drizzle. So good! I had to put more condensed milk because it complemented the dessert so well. This treat was great because my friend and I just came back from a music event and was craving for something cold and sweet.
Parking can be a bit of a mess as the lot is more on the smaller side. At night almost around closing time, the parking lot was still almost full, I can only imagine what it would be like when night time comes around!
Will definitely come back!

A shaved snow shop that also offers shaved ice and drinks
You can choose your size, flavor, syrup and toppings! If you get the snow without toppings it’s cheaper
—small Vietnamese coffee shaved snow: nice coffee flavor but the snow consistency is too shredded like hay
—small pineapple shaved snow with condensed milk and mochi: pineapple was a by too sweet for me
Self serve water always appreciated!
NOTE: $ 10 minimum on credit card

A crispy crêpe is a beautiful thing!
I’m obsessed with this place!!! And their fluff snow ice is to die for! Limited seating, free water and squeeze bottle condensed milk to fancy up your crêpe or snow ice!
It’s hidden in a strip mall but well worth it!!!

Parking/​location: Salju is located in a small plaza on Valley and 2^nd street. It is right on the corner and can be easily missed. The lot isn’t very big and can get kind of hectic. There is parking on the street on 2^nd St if you can’t find parking in the lot.
Service: Excellent! We are always greeted by the friendly staff whenever we walk in and we are also given a menu to look at while we wait to place our order. The Asian man, I think he’s the owner, is always so friendly!
Food: This is the absolute BEST shaved ice place in SGV! Their ice is so light and fluffy! It isn’t hard and overly sweet like some other places. I always get their Almond ice which is very light but perfectly sweetened and has the perfect amount of almond flavoring. It goes perfectly with their taro pudding which is also so delicious, not too sweet but goes so well with the almond ice. Their rice balls are a MUST! They’re always so fresh, soft and just melts in your mouth! You cannot get shaved ice here without the rice balls! Yum… Oh and you can drizzle as much condensed milk as you’d like because they have the containers there to take to your table.
Atmosphere: Nice, refreshing interior that is very clean. There are about 7 tables inside. No tables outdoors so no pups allowed. :(
I wish they had a stamp card because we come here so much!

Dropped by for a Taiwanese shaved ice. Ordered the black sesame with red bean, taro pudding, mochi and condensed milk topping. This place was crowded, so expectations were set high.
The location had many of the lights out making it dark at the back. I don’t know if this was an effort at conservation or if things were actually not working. But I didn’t come here for the lighting.
Service was a bit slow but when the main attraction arrived it was definitely worth the wait. While not the best I’ve had it was definitely in the upper percentiles. Ice was smooth and full of flavor. Toppings went well with our selection and individually tasted great!
Definitely one if the better ones I’ve had in the LA area.

Shaved snow heaven!
Salju is my all time favorite place for shaved snow in SGV. In terms of quality, price, and service I feel like Salju has it all. You are allowed to sample any of the flavors listed on their menu. My favorites are the almond, Thai tea, and green tea matcha flavors. I’ve tried the fruity flavors and they didn’t really stand out to me.
They only have two sizes of shaved snow. The small is $ 3.95 and you can chose two toppings, the medium is $ 5.50 and you can choose three toppings. With a group of 4 I will usually get two mediums which I think is plenty to share. After choosing the size, you then choose your flavor of shaved snow, then the syrup, and finally the toppings. I love that they have over 30 different types of toppings available and if you add additional toppings it is only $ 1 extra.
This place usually gets crowded at nights and weekends but I usually never have too much trouble finding seats since people eat and leave pretty quickly.
Tip* You can get unlimited complimentary condensed milk! Just look for the bottle sitting around on the tables!

This is going to be my new go to spot to get snow ice when I come to Cali. The snow ice is so delicious. I paid 6 bucks for a medium and it was pretty large.
I ordered a Thai tea snow ice with condensed milk, mangos, pudding and rice balls. They have loads of toppings that I just skimmed the list of toppings because they had loads of different toppings. The Thai tea was so sweet and refreshing. The rice balls were chewy and bouncy. The pudding was soft and sweet. The condensed milk added a fatty texture. The mangos they used were super ripe and fresh. The mangos are definitely cut daily. It had no brown coloring.
The only problem I had with this place was the cashier took the money and then placed gloves on only one of her hands. Then she used the hand without the gloves to place the snow ice block on the snow ice shaver. It was a turnoff. But I mean I don’t have too much of a phobia of germs so, I overlooked this fact. But I know some people might get angry about her touching the food with the same hand she used to handle the money (now that I type that out, it does sound a little off putting…)
