They were out of most flavors by the time we arrived. To be fair, we got there at 8:15 and they closed at 8:30. I felt like I was given what I was promised - a sweet, decent cup of soft serve ice cream.

Great flavors. Their smallest size is the Little Softee and is about 4 dollars and is good enough for a couple to share if they dont want too much. Tofu Flower and Hokkaido Milk Tea were both excellent.

This is the creamiest and most delicious ice cream we ever had. The scoops of ice cream are very well sized and my wife and I love stopping by

How many times have I been to Big Softee? I have no idea at this point, but this is where we take all of our friends from out of town. Where else can you get Asian inspired soft serve flavors like salted egg custard (salted caramel is still all the rage but I say this flavor is better) and tofu flower but also get classics like chocolate that are just as good? And it isnt a gimmick, they do these flavors well and they taste like what theyre called. Tofu flower can be a tad bit too gingery for those who may find issue with that but you still get all the flavors youd expect from the real thing. For me, salted egg custard is the way to go!Tip: ask what swirl flavor they have that day.

Unique and nostalgic soft serve flavors that are very true to their origins. I was so impressed by how accurate the flavors are. The shop is really cute, drawing inspiration from vintage Hong Kong era.The salted egg custard was great, the Hong Kong milk tea was even better. I’ll be back to try all the flavors.

I enjoy the flavors very much. Had the milk tea, ginger tofu, chocolate, and vanilla. All were good

Great Asian flavored soft serve and good hmm milk tea

One of my favorite ice cream shops. My favorite flavors so far has been the Salted Egg custard and the Lychee Calpico.Its cheap (~$3 for the little softee) and you get a generous amount. You also get a lot of toppings if you order one of their sundaesHaving rotating flavors is both a good and a bad thing. Good because you get to try new flavors. Bad because is you are craving your favorite flavor you might have to wait a long time. I usually just have to wait for them to announce flavors I like or interested in on Instagram before I decide to go.

I love Big Softee and I am so glad they decided to open back up again because going to their location is easier then ever and parking is a dream during Covid. Pre Covid this lot is terrible and I would always pray to the parking Gods before heading out. I loved my jasmine milk tea and tofu flower soft serve. My cousin liked her Jasmine Milk Tea soft serve and as I write this I think I should go because its Sunday and they are open.

Hands-down my favorite dessert place in SGV 👌🏼Love their fun flavors!!!

This place was okay. Had some Asian influenced flavors that were interesting. Tofu flower and hk milk tea. The flavors were good when you sample them, but once you got 5 bites in the flavors were a little over whelming. The Jefferson with red beans and vanilla was not bad. I hear they have one that tastes like egg tarts, but they didnt have it this time. Might have to come back and try that flavor. Everything else was just okay.

What a great place for ice cream in the San Gabriel Valley... I am surprised that they also have a good selection for sundaes and drinks too... I came back a week later and they have new things not on the menu... Not sure if it is supposed to be a secret menu but their BURNT TOFU is out if this world.... A must...

I’m so glad I got to check out this place. The flavors were a delight and where can you get salted egg custard and matcha almond or viet coffee. The staff let us sample the flavors. I only wished the cups were bigger for the big size since it looked comparable to the small.There is seating in the shop and in this cute plaza area.

I LOVE THIS PLACE! The shop is small but full of spirit! There are lots of yummy flavors from black sesame to pandan to dragon fruit floats. A big plus is that they always have a vegan option or two. So if you are meeting up with friends to have a sweet treat there is something for everyone💛 If you are ever curious about the flavors of the day they keep their Instagram stories updated, so you can scope what you want before you go😉

Really enjoyed all the flavors and appreciate the great service and covid safety measures

Super friendly staff and the ice cream was great.

Matcha flavor is on point and creamy!

Delicious ice cream or soft serves.

I’m pretty sure I come here way too much but I love their ice cream! I’m thankful that they have Delicious vegan soy milk ice cream for the times I’m not feeling dairy. The flavors are creative and good quality Asian flavors. I follow them on social media as well and they’re really on top of posting great content daily. The workers have been wonderful from the day I went at their grand opening to today. If you’re around, definitely give this place a shot! Their daily flavors are always on their instagram story and they always have fun new flavors coming out every few weeks.

Yummy ice scream and great customer service!

Flavors were good but only had a choice of 4 flavors.

I came to Big Softee with friend who has dairy-free restrictions. I was hoping they would have more options for her but was still thankful that they had a black sesame soy flavor.I went with the coconut taro flavor, it was incredibly creamy! I was surprised that my friends soy soft serve was also very creamy and thick in texture. A small Softee (the size I got) cost about $3.75 and was a decent sized portion. I was a little disappointed by their small range of choice. There were only 4 options: black sesame soy, taro coconut, Japanese pumpkin and vanilla.The menu was, however, more extensive than just soft serve. They had sundaes, teas and coffees. I will be coming back hopefully :)

Good selection of tasty ice creams, with flavors that are unique to this shop, like Salted Egg Custard, or Tahitian Vanilla. They have a great variety of toppings, with sprinkles being free with purchase of either small or large cup. A large helping is given in either size; they do a lot to make your experience there enjoyable. Staff is friendly, and there is some seating inside.

I love Big Softee. Who doesnt? Ive been coming here for years.The crab melt and the crab sandwich are by far the best for food.For dessert, I suggest the saddleback brownie sundae.

A great place for Asian inspired soft-serve dessert. Check out their Instagram page for current flavors which change frequently. Very friendly staff and locally owned (Yea! For the small business owners). Love this place - its a regular Top 10 place to eat for many lists these days - LA Times, Eater, etc.

Hours are not correctly listed on google maps page. Went here on a Tuesday evening at 7:45 and they were completely shut down—window shades drawn down, closed sign up, and no hours listed, hence the low rating.After going on a night on which it was open during its regular hours, it was pretty good. Would go again.

They’re back open!!Better menu- there’s more variety to choose from!Sundaes, soft serves, little treats..

This ice cream is really as good as it gets! Dont remember what flavor I had, but it was incredible. Word of caution though: The flavors are highly experimental.

Ice cream is good, ask for a sample. They mix up new flavors every couple weeks. Some of their sundaes are on the sweet side. Im knocking one star of because Ive been there a couple times and they use some industrial cleaner or something that makes it smell like restroom cleaner, thats just unappetizing to me.

Love the flavors. Ice cream was amazing. My only feedback would be that it was hollow in the middle, so it looks fuller then it really was? Idk if they still do that since i was there a few months ago, but texture and taste was great!

Small little shop with some bar seats. Came a few minutes before they opened and there were people already waiting in line. Very attentive and enthusiastic about letting you sample their flavors. They had some unique Asian flavors like salted egg yolk and tofu flower and they were pretty true to taste! I just wish their flavor menu was also written on the big menu board rather than just a small one at the counter so I dont have to wait until Im near the counter to see what flavors they have.

Yum

Creative and unique flavors as well as sundaes and floats! I have to keep going back to try all of their special items. Friendly staff always ready to let you try samples. I bring friends and family here whenever they come visit the area!

Decided to drop by this place as it was very close and offered some interesting yet simple looking soft serve desserts.We were impressed by the modern branding and unique flavours! Owner and staff are very friendly and everything tastes excellent! We had waffle cones with vanilla and tea flavours... delicious! Also tried this unique burnt tofu (looks like a creme brûlée) and gotta say, it’s pretty good! 👍🏼Overall it hit the spot! Give it a try! :)

I loved the jasmine and mango soft serve. Not too sweet. I will definitely go back again soon!

Good ice cream! Get toasted in house made marshmellows. They are awesome.

Big Softee is my new favorite dessert spot! The flavors are all so unique and taste amazing. I ordered the milk tea softee. My taste buds were very happy. The place is modern yet nostalgic and the branding is on point, from the cups to napkins to the spoons. Def a great spot to get a photo opp for insta ;) Would highly recommend trying Big Softee out! You won’t be disappointed.

Its not creamy enough for me, but I liked how it wasnt sweet. I definitely dont feel guilt eating this frozen treat.

Best ice cream experience Ive ever felt in my life.

You may not think that soft serve would be a staple of your typical trip to Monterey Park, but once you visit this place, it will be. Big Softees curated menu of unique and delicious cold treats should be on everyones dessert list.Big Softee switches out flavors but keeps a signature Tahitian Vanilla and even though you can and should sample all the flavors, most will just go for this. It may be vanilla but its anything but plain - a subtle wonder of sweetness that stands out from the rest. But the other offerings are always interesting. One week brought a tofu flavor which felt exactly like soy - another an incredible Rosy lychee which exploded with tartness. They also have a thing for tea based flavors like matcha and chai which have an authentic tea aftertaste for those who want it. Every visit will almost certainly bring new flavors to try which is sure to keep you returning.Theres basically no downside here. For those averse to ice cream theres a lovely mochi cake on menu as well as some coffees. The service I nice the atmosphere is pleasant and even parking is pretty easily accessible. Try this out next time youre in the area - it really is a treat

I love this place! Super flavorful and interesting flavors of ice cream! My favorite one is tofu flower. Yumm!

Amazing! Love the decor, and their matcha almond ice cream — not to be missed!

Great ice cream choice flavors. Not too sweet, just right

Love the flavors and they rotate so theres always more options to try

Mango jasimetea is the best

Delicious original and new unqiue flavors of soft serve, quality and quantity. Cant decide between the Mango Jasmine or the Chocolate Horlicks.Service was quick and friendly.Coming back again probably after family brunch or dim sum

Omg so good. Very nostalgic flavors!

Hojicha is my favorite flavor. It was a strong tea flavor. I got to sample most of the flavors (two people getting two sample cups each). The soft serve is light and you dont feel all gross afterwards. All of the flavors pretty much taste like what they are. I wished the taro coconut flavor tasted more like taro. It had a more coconut flavor. I wish they had red bean as a topping because it would go great with the hojicha. I wanted a topping, but nothing sounded appealing or seemed like it would go well with it, maybe except boba. But if I wanted boba, I would get a drink, not my ice cream.

Some of the best Tahitian Vanilla ice cream yet and has a nice vibe along with great ice cream and other Gr8 sweet treats!!!

Always wanted to try this place and finally had a chance and the ice cream was delicious.

Unique taste with also many different flavors of their ice cream. Definitely should try!

I was super excited to hear about this place. Theyve got some fresh Asian specialty flavor ice creams. We tried Hong Kong milk tea, raspberry lychee rose ice cream, and tofu flower ice cream. I was really hoping for the Hong Kong tea ice cream but since their ice cream flavors rotate from time to time, Id have to come back to try again. If HK style milk tea is your thing, theirs is legit. (It does taste different from your normal boba milk tea) The ice cream flavors were really special. Their tofu flower ice cream ( their signature flavor) was fantastic.... but this is not your average ice cream place. So dont come here expecting the American style ice cream parlor sizzle.

Lots of flavors and also it costs ok

The salt egg custard is very delicious!

Good ice cream. Alittle expensive

Love this Asian flavor soft serve ice cream parlor.

This spot is exactly what was needed in Monterey Park for the summer. Great location right off the freeway and plenty of parking. This is perfect for families for a sweet treat on a weekend! The Hong Kong Style Milk Tea and Pandan Soymilk flavors are a must try.

Yumm... soft delicious ice cream!

Great local soft-serve desert spot with a twist on Asian flavors. Very friendly staff.

Love the Mango Jasmine ice cream. Coming back.

Really nice ice cream place.

Their ice cream flavors are unique and delicious

They have vegan and dairy!

So yummy. Too bad we are Keto!!!

Creative Flavors and nice execution
