This is one of the newest drink and ice store in Houston Chinatown to open, and it definitely came at the right time during The hot 100 degreeish Houston weather. I like juice box’s fresh squeeze juice and their famous shredded ice. Juice box offers a variety of juices and that includes fresh squeezed orange, mango, apple and other drinks. Juice box offer one of the biggest size shredded ice I have ever seen in Houston, and they also gave you real big chunk of sliced fruit, such as mango or strawberry, (like the famous Taiwanese Mango shredded ice.) On top of that, they even give you a scoop of mango ice cream to enrich the flavor. I also like their Calpis (if you don’t know what this is look up our Japanese culture section). It is mixed with apple juice and you should try it out. price is average but the mango shredded ice is really worth a try.

I like Star Snow Ice. They make great shaved ice bowls.

Yes but mostly no. They are shaved ice but you put condiments like red beans, cut fruits, grass jelly, etc.. on it. It tastes very good! ;D

I think it's a bit overpriced. If memory serves, it's almost $5 for a bowl of shaved ice and fresh fruits. I'm not saying that it's not delicious, I think Star Snow Ice is cheaper ($3.50).

It does cost a little more but for the taste it is well worth it.

I know! Their shaved ice is great I gotta try the juices next time though. It's $4.75 or something like that for a big bowl of shaved ice + mixed fruits + a scoop of ice cream on top ;D Star Ice is alittle cheaper (like, 25 cents cheaper), but it doesn't look as good/fresh.

Just found out they using concentrated fructose syrup on their drinks now. also use a really low grade ice cream (I wouldn't even eat or give my kid that stuff because it contains some questionable chemicals in the ingredients) for their dessert even though they make a killing selling stuff...
