Star Snow Ice

Got a fish rice plate for take out. It's not fast food here but really slow. Looks like it's a similar name to the location down the street but this place is much smaller and slower. The food taste the same and is fine though. I'll be back if not in a rush to get to places/ between work locations. I'm usually rushing if I'm not just looking for a sit down place with wifi to get stuff done while I eat/ snack. This may not be the place for that either. Very limited seating and mistily older Asian folks lounging round talking to the owner/worker. Limited English here also. Good thing they have the picture menus though. Just point to what you want and order that way. Fish plate comes with vegetables, rice, fried egg and fried fish. Food is good. My kid loved the food.

Look at me if you want but don't star at me like that. There's snow way you should be doing that. Ice see what you're doing.There is one of these in Dun Huang Plaza which for the longest time was the only one I had been to. Then I came to this one and realized that it is bigger and better and probably the original location.It's really nice and while their products aren't exactly my favourites, with so much choice in Chinatown, I still love coming here and enjoying a little bit of what original old timey Chinatown was like.

Cheap good drinks. I always get the milk tea. Very Chinese style (maybe hong kong sweet tea) Amazing. Boba decent but I get jelly. This the only place I see taro is made from SCRATCH. All yumz tho. Love this OG place cheap GOOD drinks!

Not as crowded as the other nearby Star Snow Ice location, but food quality is just as good. They also open at 10 am, an hour earlier than many places around Chinatown.We ordered various rice options are delighted with the large portions, variety and great taste - all for around $6 to $6.50!Their drinks are of comparably good value as well, with many boba ice tea options art around the $3 range.

Yay! Childhood memories!We came here after already being super full from dinner but my brother JUST HAD to eat more. So my boyfriend and barely made a dint in our traditional snow ice with red beans, grass jelly, flan and peanuts. What we did taste was exactly how it should taste, which is awesome. The kids enjoyed their new hippie rolled ice cream it seemed like but I was too full from dinner #1 to even try theirs. The only reason this place gets a 4 instead of 5 is because the place is really small and kind of dirty. I feel like, especially with ice or cold desserts, I need the place to have a certain kind of cleanliness.

The food and drinks here are mediocre and I've never had a problem until I placed a pick up order during lunch.What's the point of a pick up option when they won't make it until you get there? I ordered here 30 mins ahead of time and was told my food is done only to have to wait and be told it'll be another 15 mins.

Fast and friendly service, delicious dessert. Many options. Affordable prices. Atmosphere is quiet if you decide to eat there.

Dont expect gourmet here. If you like simple boba and basic shaved "ice cream", you will be in luck but their prices have Increased and they can be stingy on portion sizes.

This is a hidden gem. It's really not so hidden, I mean it's right off Bellaire but damn! Super delicious, and fantastic service! The fresh orange carrot juice was absolutely refreshing.

WARNING for people with food allergies: This past weekend my daughters and I ordered a plate of mango shaved ice with various toppings. The shaved ice was good but thank goodness I checked it before I let my daughter eat it. Even though we listed our food allergies of peanuts, nuts, and kiwi...they mistakenly added peanuts to our order. When I brought it back to the counter to return my order because it had contained peanuts and my daughter was allergic to peanuts, they tried to deny our request and said they could just remove the peanuts from the plate. I had to explain to them that we wanted a new one made because the peanuts had already touched the other food items and we needed to return it because it wasn't just a matter of a food preference but because it was a food ALLERGY and my daughter could end up in the hospital if she ate anything that touched the peanuts (which has happened before). They didn't seem too happy to remake us a new one but again, it wasn't our fault. We had listed the allergy items in our order yet it was added on as a topping. So please be careful ordering food from this place if you have a food allergy. I think the employees there need to be trained and more informed on how to prepare and handle food allergies. It's required basic training for all food service handlers, cooks, and restaurant managers.
