Little Tokyo Ice Cream & Yogurt Deli

Very bad service, I ordered hot tea, they gave me cold one, even Unilocaled and refuse to change. 0 star if I could

Im giving this place a 5-​star review because even a good review couldn’t make this place chill. Woman hardly speaks english and the guy workingthere is completely unfriendly. All that aside its a pretty good taro (powder) milk tea boba but get some sense people, its 2016 so get some of that raw organic ish and make that fresh fresh. Pine and crane in silvrlake knows whats up with that raw taro root.
P. s. Jaime knows whats good with the «no sample» policy. Super wack especially when youre serving random flavors, im tryna get a tester before i get dissappinted.
Ok peace.
Love,
Joss

this is the most terrible service in all of little tokyo. the man/​owner is such a jerk and he has nooooo business owning a business in little tokyo where people are very very kind nice and sweet. the boba thai ice tea tastes like air freshener. when i kindly asked to exchange it he yelled and told me off. i really wanted to dump the drink over his head but i behaved cordially. i highly do not recommend this place.

I had a horrible experience here. They don’t give out samples (they have crazy flavors like lychee and taro). Had they given samples we probably would have bought two ice creams instead of the one we shared.
Also, they don’t allow pictures (ie instagram, facebook, text) and were very rude to a customer about taking pictures inside their store. I’m sorry but your store’s signage isn’t that special. And then they called security on this poor guy! Seriously?!
While their ice cream was good. I will not be coming back because the horrific owners.

I should have read the reviews. My thai iced tea slush looks like a thai iced tea slush, but it tastes like coconut! I’m not even going to try returning it.

There’s a reason their Unilocal score is so low: Unacceptable and ridiculous treatment of customers.
We ordered Thai tea and the taste was off (it was also overpriced @ 4.25 for a size that is half of a standard boba drink). We politely asked if we could return them and the owner literally started screaming at us. His lip was quivering he was so upset. I tried to calm him down and bring the conversation back to the simple question of whether or not he would refund our money but he just kept screaming, «this is a good taste! this is a good taste!» In the end we left the drinks on the counter and walked out.

These people are incredibly rude and bizarre.
We ordered Thai iced tea and after taking a sip and realizing that it tasted like no other Thai iced tea we’ve ever had (not in a good way!), we returned to just tell them something was off, hoping we could maybe change it or they could make another one or just give us our money back ($ 9 for two drinks). Both people behind the counter (who I imagine are the two owners) started yelling at us, and the maniacal store owner man started screaming at me about how it’s the best flavor they have and continued to scream at us even after I asked him why he was treating us like this. It was really upsetting.
After checking Unilocal,I see this is a common occurrence. Definitely never going back there.

They have Fosselman’s Ice Cream, which is really good ice cream from Alhambra that is family-​owned and has been around since 1919. They’ve very well known in LA and it’s pretty good and if you don’t feel like going all the way to Alhambra, you can always get some in Little Tokyo. They have classic flavors and others, too, and one worth trying is the Taro.
Other stuff you can get at this shop are boba drinks, mochi, snacks, smoothies, and shaved ice. Other notable places to get boba in the area is Ozero if you’re in the mood for teas and Four Leaf, the latter having crepes and other desserts as well as food. Ice Cream Lab opened up not too long ago. Other than that, there’s plenty of dessert shops in Little Tokyo and so many restaurant options, too. It’s the Fosselman’s Ice Cream that has me coming back.

Worst milk tea I’ve tasted. Horrible service. Ordered honey dew milk tea over ice and got a blended.
The lady seemed bothered to take my order. Then when I told her that I ordered over ice, she look irritated and said «it’s with ice».
It tasted like ice with sugar. Don’t taste the creaminess. It looked almost neon. I end up throwing it away with one sip.

Almond milk tea was good. It was nice because they blended it in the blender so the flavor was well mixed. Cash only. They sell cigarettes here too– randomly!

there was a line out the door. at first you’d say wow. it’s the place to go for some cold stuff. it was support small business Saturday and this place I was gonna contribute to. As I wait patiently hovering over my kids who stand in front of me staring at the variety flavors. I notice two people working, man and a woman. my turn comes and I ask for a try the espresso ice cream the lady with her angry tone replays «cash only, no try» I wasn’t sure what to reply. but I told her I have 6 orders here and looked at her with pitty. she gave up and gave that pea size sample and it sample I tell u was old and tasted terrible. Asked for soft serve and was told its broken not working. I placed the order which included some snow ones and ice cream. paid cash as requested and walked out. one of the kids told me the snow one is made incorrectly she asked for orange/​lemon and they only gave her orange went back and politely told the lady and the man was pissed she told him wrong. She asked for 25cents to redo it. As if it was our fault. As I was giving her the whole quarter, she starred at me and I started straight back for the longest 30 seconds. It gave me joy to irritate her as she did to me.
So my review would be go only if you wanna be tortured and have mediocre ice cream. stay away from snow ones the syrup was not so great quality.

Horrible service. My friend ordered a HOT almond milk tea, and they gave it to her cold, so she politely told them she ordered it hot and the man literally yelled at her and the woman scoffed when she was asked to remake it.

After eating a very delicious dinner, my friends and I decided to just hang out and grab drink. We saw Little Tokyo Ice Cream & Yogurt Deli. They have all kinds of yogurt and various drinks. I got really excited because I’m currently on a kiwi kick and they had a kiwi slush and of course an option for boba!
I ordered the kiwi slushy with boba. Seriously, after a couple of minutes, the drink turned into a green water. All the slush disappeared… I’ve never had a drink do that so quickly. This drink was beyond sugary (and trust me, I love my sugar). The boba was not even that good either. It tasted kind of old, which was disappointing. I never ever throw away boba drinks, but this was the first time I didn’t bother finishing. I only finished half of it because it tasted overly sweet. I was completely disappointed. Not to mention the service at this place is sketchy. There was a family in front of us and they were still figuring out what they wanted. The lady taking our order didn’t even say anything to them and just asked us what we wanted and that was it. Robotic customer service. Oh, and this place is cash only.
After getting such a terrible drink, I don’t think I’ll ever come back. There are better places in Little Tokyo where I can spend my money and get better quality food and drinks. Do not waste your money here! Sorry… moving on…

I can see how some people might not like the service, but when I went with my gal it wasn’t bad nor was it anything to remember. The lady took our order and then gave us our order. That was it. Nothing about this place sticks out in my mind, but if you want mochi it is way better to get it at this place because the line at the place at the other end can get pretty ridiculous. They also serve some ice cream brand that according to the reviews from the late 90’s (really there is a sign with quotes from the late 90’s) says that it is pretty darn good.

Bad service. Tried to get a peppermint tea (iced) — but they said they can’t do that. However, they have iced coffee and iced boba, yet they can’t create an iced tea? Cold response too. Not friendly. No good. Overcharging for their water as well.

Fosselman’s icecream is good. The bf really enjoyed the coffee flavor/​toffee. I Thought the lychee was so so. The place is a small mom and pop shop. Customer service is okay. It reminded me of ice cream nazis. They get pretty busy fast, so that might be why. The ice cream is a bit expensive $ 3.75 for a scoop and sugarcone.
$$ for the fancy Fosselman’s icecream.

Terrible ice cream.
But the smoothie with boba was palatable, albeit a bit sweet.
Not awful, but definitely falls into the «I’ve experienced better» category.

Popped in for a $ 3.00 ice cream and my silly kids order vanilla and chocolate. I saw a neon green flavor and opted for that.
I take one lick and am speechless. I pass it over to my nephew.
«Dude. That is straight up honeydew.»
It was amazing. Never had a flavor quite like it. Little gooey bits inside that tasted like a very ripe honeydew. I will happily pay $ 3.00 for that !!

Wow, only one review?
This place is hidden in the back of the plaza next to the KBBQ. Yeah, next to the KBBQ in a Japanese plaza. I have had ice cream here a couple of times. The place is OK. I would prefer going to Mikawaya in the same plaza. I like their ice cream and mochi. However, this place has some different flavors and it is really convenient to walk over after a meal.
Way to Go Maggie C for being the first to review this place!
This place is AOK. Buy me ice cream here any old time.

I’ve been coming to this place for years. This is usually my dessert after my shabu/​sushi lunch at Japanese Village Plaza. It’s located in the back next to the Korean BBQ restaurant.
The place is super small and the service is inconsistent. Sometimes the owner (or maybe just a worker) is super sweet and sometimes she is super bitchy. I guess it depends if she is PMSing or not.
I always get ice cream from here. Sometimes mochi ice cream too, but I prefer buying mochi ice cream at the supermarket. My favorite Japanese ice cream flavors in this particular order: taro, red bean, green tea and plum wine.
This place is yummylicious…
