The staff is also nice and fast. Sometimes the tables aren't clean and it's hard to find a decent one. The nu ice flavors are extensive. I've tried a few and all have been good. Pick fruit when it's in season or it won't be great.

BEST SHAVED ICE IVE HAD. They let you customize the base and add toppings and the green tea was delicious. Decently quick service.

Even though Nu Cafe has been around for a while, this place is still a hit for dessert. This spot has a cool vibe to it with mirrors, open seating, and many lights. Reminds me of the 2000s. If you want shaved ice, just grab a piece of paper and turn it in when you're done choosing what you'd like. The amazing ice cream makers will get it out to you pretty quick. If you're craving something sweet, this place will do the trick! FOOD REVIEW: Taro Shaved Ice (5/5): this is definitely a sweet treat. Taro shaved ice along with the sweet condensed milk and toppings will make you smile.

Been stopping by here for years when we lived in Houston and every time we come back in town. The flavor is consistently good and have not been disappointed other than one time when we came by and the place was closed due to a power outage (no fault of theirs but was really craving it that day & settled for some other disappointing place). We usually get the lychee shaved ice mountain with strawberries, mango, & condensed milk and leave so satisfied. This place is always on my checklist of places to go to when we come back. Still haven't found anywhere else as good as here.

- waiter was super friendly and charismatic. i liked him a lot. wish i asked for his name - one hill sized ice cream (smallest) fed three people comfortably - ordering process is really efficient - not too loud + good amount of seats green tea ice cream: tasted like what you'd expect. i liked it taro ice cream: wasn't a fan nutella ice cream: low-key pretty good if u like chocolate

Wide selections of flavors and no matter what you get, it's so good! Been here a few times and have tried their chocolate, green tea, strawberry and lychee and they're all delicious. Condensed milk is a must on the drizzle for sure. Pictured below is lychee flavored shaved ice with mango topping and drizzled condensed milk.

The best place to get Taiwanese Shaved Ice in Houston, hands down! I especially like their Green Tea shaved ice, and you can get unique toppings such as Pocky.

Loved this place! The place is small, cozy, with many tables and chairs for seating. The place itself is clean, with friendly and helpful cashiers. Before ordering the shaved ice, you're given a small piece of paper that gives you flavors and topping options (making it easier and faster to order). They have two options for the shaved ice, which is the mountain size and the hill size. We opted for the hill size, and it was plenty for our family of 3. The medium Viet coffee was also delicious! My only suggestion for the place would be to put the shaved ice in bowls. While the presentation is nice on the plate it's a bit inconvenient. One the ice melts it drips and gets a bit messy. Overall, our children really enjoyed the experience! We will definitely be coming back.

Do not let the outdated interior fool you, the shaved ice here is amazing. We were recommend this cafe by a friend, but we were a little hesitant upon first glance. The tables were not necessarily clean, and there was only one employee working at the time. There were several parties ahead of us, so the wait was pretty long. Even though you order on a preprinted menu, the employee still has to type up the order, take the payment, and then make everyone's orders. Nonetheless, the shaved ice is worth the wait. We got a mango mountain to share between three people, and there was more than enough. They have a decent selection of shaved ice flavors, toppings, and sauce drizzles. It was so good that we came back a few days later for the milk tea mountain.

I'm amazed at how they are able to make flavored shaved ice. We chose almond flavor with mochi and condensed milk. Ordering was a breeze with a convenient order form to make your selections. The order came out rather quickly as they were quite busy. The ice itself was packed with flavor and went well with the chewy mochi. If you don't like super sweet desserts, I would leave out the condensed milk. I found it too sweet with it on. The thai tea was way too sweet for my liking. I waited for my ice to melt and then it was just right. Overall, great dessert place to go with friends. There are plenty of tables but I can see that it can be quite tight if you go during a busy hour.
