Have been coming here for a few years and this is by the far the best shaved ice place in Houston. The mango shaved ice is simple yet delicious. This is my go to for dessert!

Incredibly. Delicious.Seriously, if you haven’t been here you are missing out! The shaved ice is top notch and what makes it even better is the owners are so awesome! They are so welcoming and always provide the best friendliest service every time. My husband and I have been coming here for years, even though we live far the drive is worth it. I can’t live without this place! Mango shaved ice & strawberry and banana with chocolate drizzle shaved ice here are the best. I could literally order everything they have because everything they offer is so amazing. All the fruits here are always fresh for all their menu & facility is bright and clean all the time. Check this place out if you haven’t already!

Juice Box will forever be our shaved ice of choice. For as long as we can remember, they’ve been a staple in the Houston Chinatown area and while their menu has gone through some changes over the years, their shaved ice continues to be their best dessert offering by far. What’s always puzzled us is that there really isn’t anything complex or complicated whatsoever with these ice bowls. But for whatever reason, their shaved ice just hits on a totally different level. Our go to order every time is the watermelon & mango shaved ice with vanilla ice cream on top. Literal perfection. Please never change Juice Box. Never change.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!! I live far from this place, but when ever I am near I have to stop and get my fix. Coconut Sago Drink!! Mixed ball soup I love mixing up different toppings it is the best. :)😍 The staff is always very attentive and help. I have my daughter hooked as well.

This has been our go to spot for shaved ice desserts in Bellaire. They usually offer great and unique flavors/items on their menu, but because of the pandemic it looks like theyve scaled down.

Very delicious, fresh and healthy food. The new product peanut caramel mochi is so yummy. The mochi is so chewy and the black sesame and peanut powder are very delicious. The taste of caramel mike is so different from the other store. I can tell the caramel made from real brown sugar rather than chemical material.

Best shaved ice place! Has a soft and sweet flavor. I’d recommend the pudding shaved ice. I would come here again

Review №12

My favorite shaved ice! I prefer that they use the natural milk ice for everything as opposed to places who use the flavored ice. You can really enjoy the flavor of the fresh fruit.

SERIOUSLY REAL FRUIT SMOOTHIES!You can literally watch them make it in front of you and nothing but fruits!P.S take advantage of their buy 1 get 1 50% promotion.Just make sure they give you your receipt so you can make sure you got the discount.I’ll be honest I didn’t tip even tho their POS tablet asked me if I wanted to, but I just walked in and got what I wanted, but if you feel they went above and beyond for you in the name of service then go for it!Sometimes the girl in the front can be watching on her tablet sometimes, which is cool, but sometimes you can kinda feel ignored if you’re a first time customer. Or you feel like you’re bothering or interrupting her.All in all great smoothies!z

Wonderful place that had both amazingly sweet pudding and good tasting healthy cold press juice, was extremely impressed by the options that this place had. I really can not express my gratitude to the owners for having a menu that I feel liberated looking at. Also super clean and nice!

Okay, this is one of the best dessert places in Houston. Im only speaking for the desserts themselves. I have been here several times already, and every time Im here, I never know what to order. Their menu is overwhelming, extremely unorganized, and all over the place. They have pictures, but lack descriptions.The item I like the most from this place is their grass jelly. It comes hot or cold.

Had a great time here. I live this place and desserts here are some of best especially here on Bellaire in the Chinese area. I want to go back here and try other dessert and fruit combinations. Great desserts for such a cheap price. This is great hidden gem.

Kids wanted to have some ice cream and adults want to have some desert before dinner?? We were the weird ones..Prices here might seems decent, but the serving portion was a bit shocked to see.We only come once a month, so I guess we can manage the price and the servings.

Owner couple are nice. Love their fruit tea and pudding/custards. I usually called in ahead before pick up and never disappointed me.

Durian - fo real!!!I’m skeptical when I hear durian but this one did it right and unique ... avocado durian shaved ice is amazing. I respect they actually provide a real durian taste.Hopefully they make an ice cream flavor of this one day. Service is great, quick, and clean. Support the mom and pop shops :) with the qualifier of having a good legitimate excellent product . Thank you juice box for this creation.

Great food and good place to chill and eat your dessert! Been going here for a while now and love the mixed fruit shaved ice. Bummer that prices are going up and portions are becoming a little smaller. A good place to eat and hangout with the family nonetheless.

Ordered Glass Jelly with red beans and tapioca. It’s not too sweet and just at the right sweetness. My friends ordered Hot Red Bean Soup, Ginger Tofu and some threaded ice, and they were all yum!!

Review №35

Diabetes. Joy. No regrets. That’s what happens when Taiwanese mad scientists decide to arrange a dish that contains shaved ice, ice cream, fruit, and then give it a heaping “SAY WHEN!!” serving size of condensed milk. It’s modern art in a plastic plate. Honestly, it would be too brutal on a regular plate, because everyone would be shamelessly licking off morsels of the leftover dessert concoction.I’d say It’s pretty good.

Review №42

Love this place! BUT it NEVER opens on time. The door says 11:30 but it is usually around 12:00 before they open. Even in the summer, they open later... and it’s hot outside!There is usually someone walking around, prepping the store, but they never come out and tell us what time they will open. So we get there, stare at them, then go next door to get ice cream. This has happened multiple times...I really enjoy Juice Box but these things make it difficult to want to return. Hopefully this will get fixed.

Review №43

The best shaved ice in Houston! Their fruits especially the mango is always fresh! This place only takes cash but hopefully that changes soon. Great dessert place after a meal and you can share one bowl. Its in one of the busiest plazas on Bellaire but worth the visit. Highly recommend this place!

Fruit tea is amazing! I always get that but my kids order smoothies and they say its delicious.

Review №45

One of my favorite places to go to for dessert in Bellaire area. You choose your preference of ice cream and assorted fruits on shaved ice, topped with condensed milk. The shaved ice is resemblant to snow cone ice which is different from the other shaved ice desserts in the area that serve soft shaved ice. Overall, I would definitely recommend trying Juice Box for a light dessert.

Sa
Review №46

My most favorite thing to get here is the mixed fruit shaved ice. I can eat a whole one on my own. Anything less than $10 you have to pay cash but totally recommended. They have a very extensive menu.

Review №47

Unique desserts that are pretty healthy (minus the condensed milk slathered on top). I enjoy getting the shaved ice mixed with various fruits. Its large enough to share with a couple of people. The fruit I always fresh and doesnt taste frozen. The prices have gone up as it has become more popular but its one of my favorite places in Chinatown. It is always crowded but the desserts always come out quickly.

Review №49

This is the place to get some shaved ice with fruit. The fruit is fresh and the shaved ice with condensed milk is amazing it also has a ball of ice cream on there. You should share a shaved ice plate with 2 or 3 as it is large. Great place to come have some dessert after a meal or just to hang out. They have other smoothies and desserts but I have not tried them, shaved ice all the way!!

Juice box has awesome fresh fruit options for blended / juiced mixes. They serve a delicious fruit / shaved ice dessert that must be shared because its so big! They also have other options for this dessert including red bean and fermented rice.

Review №51

Why do people skip over 20 dessert shops in Dun Huang Plaza to Juice Box 元气鲜果汁? Because this place offer homemade tapioca balls and freshly squeezed juice from real fruit.Im here often to refuel my lost energy after dentist appointments. I like those exotic dessert soups: iced tofu 冰豆花 or grass jelly 烧仙草.

Review №61

This place is my go to place for shaved ice, I am only giving it a two star rating not because their shaved ice has become bad or anything of the sort. Customer service has really dropped off a hill, been there a couple of times lately and the cashier looks like she is in a bad mood all the time, no smile, no greetings whatsoever or even a you are welcome after a proper thank you.

I would give this place 5 stars but it is a little pricey! The concept is beautiful, you get shaven ice, fruit on top of it with ice cream and a little condensed milk. I remember having to pay in cash or there being a credit minimum. The staff is friendly and the place very cute.

Their shaved ice is mediocre at best. Their service was very poor, the girl didnt bother to even pretend to be friendly. The only good thing about this place is the durian ice cream.

Definitely one of my favorite craving foods when Im in Houston.Condensed milk, mango, strawberry, ice cream and ice is literally a majestic creation.Tip: make sure to eat it quickly since the ice will freeze the fruits and give them less taste.

Unlike jamba juice or smoothie kings they make there drinks with fresh fruits and nothing can beat the taste of fresh fruits, they have a large fruit combination that you can try out, highly recommended, also must try out the real fruit shave ice with ice-cream it is the best in houston that i can find so far. only thing i dont like is that the place is pack all the time so you cant really bring your laptop and just sit and chill, the place gets really loud too.
