Juice Box

Stepped into the store and I was spoilt for choices. Plenty of options for each category of dessert; hot dessert, cold dessert, ice cream, shaved ice, snow flake ice, smoothies, teas, and coffee! It definitely took me quite some time to decide because the pics and colors bedazzled me. I settled on a bowl of hot sesame soup with rice ball. The sesame soup was not too sweet and slightly bitter like it should be. It was not as fragrant as I thought it would be. The rice balls (three big ones) had black sesame in them which tasted good. The dessert store was neatly decorated, and the colors were warm and welcoming. Service was great. I would go back to try other desserts.

Was looking for a refreshing drink with pineapple combined with something else, but I didn't know what. So I asked them what would be good with pineapple. Orange pineapple was suggested so I went with it. So glad I did because it was exactly what I was looking for. Sweet, refreshing, a little sour from the pineapple flavor but balanced with the orange sweet citrus. Top service from the girl making mochi balls behind the counter who recommended the orange pineapple. Ambiance was chill. Multiple families on a Friday night but ample seating for a party of 10. Overall 5-Star! Would recommend! Definitely coming back next time I'm in Houston.

Still indecisive about this place. The shaved ice with fruits and flan was really good. Both the grass jelly and tofu hot dessert were not bad but I prefer the ones from Meet Fresh

MY FAVORITE DESSERT IN CHINATOWN SO FARRRR!!! It's not like the other shaved ice desserts i've tasted because instead of a snow cone ice texture it's more like shaved sorbet/ice cream, but I think you could get either here! W service, took around 5-9 minutes to receive. W ambience, cute store, nice workers, lots of seating! Overall DUBS!!!

Juice box is an OG. They've been around for years now, proving their competitiveness in the fierce Chinatown restaurant arena. What makes them so good? Fresh fruit, served over high quality shaved ice, all at an acceptable price. Sure, you could cut your own fruit and shave your own ice for less, but Juice Box is going to be less than many of the other unnamed expensive dessert spots popping up around Chinatown these days. My order is shaved ice with mango and strawberry, no ice cream, and light or no condensed milk. If you let them do the normal amount of condensed milk, it becomes all too sweet, and for me, not to my taste. Older asian folks will also appreciate going low on the condensed milk and ice cream. Service is fast and friendly, it feels like a family-owned joint. The ambiance is very mid 2000's and feels like it hasn't changed since the store opened up--reminds me of a time long gone when shaved ice was like $6.If you are wanting old school shaved ice with fruit, look no further than Juice Box.

Been here a couple times to do some work while waiting on someone in the square. The staff was always very friendly and quick. They have the BEST taro smoothie/slush I've tried. They blend it right in front of you and it tastes great with chunks of real taro, not artificial flavoring. The Thai tea is not bad either! Keep in mind that the credit card minimum here is $10.

We love juice box and their shaved ice ! We usually get the strawberry mango shaved ice but this time we changed it up & got the mango shaved ice with flan. The fruit is the star of the show here ! They pile on the mangos & add a good bit of condensed milk so its v creamy. The ice is fluffy & the flan added a nice caramel flavor. Its a refreshing dessert thats light on the stomach & not too sweet. A good dessert place if you're craving something creamy and fruity on a hot day! Service is fast & there's usually ample seating.

I was recommended to come to Juice Box by several friends in the area. Juice Box is located in Chinatown in a plaza that contains many restaurants stores to visit. We decided to try the strawberry mango, shaved ice with strawberry ice cream in rice balls. After about 10 minutes of waiting, we got our order, and I was very impressed with the shaved ice! The fruits, refresh and sweet, and the shaved ice itself had a good flavor that was powered by the condensed milk. Normally, when I go to shaved ice places one issue that I will recognize is eating straight ice with no flavor. However, here at Juice Box I did not have that issue at all! We also decided to top our treat with strawberry ice cream. That also gave the ice a nice flavor once it began to melt down a bit. In addition, the rice balls that we ordered were nice, soft and chewy (very similar to mochi consistency). If you're looking for a dessert, that is great to share with your family and friends this is the place to go! With our one order we shared that with about 5 friends. Can't wait to come back here again.

Juicebox located in one of the busiest plazas of Chinatown in Houston.I usually frequent this place with my friends and family after eating hotpot or dim sum nearby. We usually get the mango and strawberry shaved ice, which contains strawberry ice cream along with mangoes and strawberries drizzled with condensed milk on a bed of shaved ice. We also get ours with rice balls to add some texture. The dessert is very simple, but it is a great palette cleanser. It is also perfect for my Asian parents, as it is not too sweet and has fresh fruits.I have gotten the same order numerous times, and it has been consistent. Overall, I think Juicebox is a great place to eat a lighthearted dessert after dinner.

Favorite Hong Kong dessert place! It deserves a Michelin star for their Hong Kong style desserts. Love how creamy their mango sago was. Love how the black sesame paste is not too sweet. I will be coming back often!
