If you’re a 12 year old kid (my grandson), this place is amazing to see the ice cream made right in front of you, but if you’re old school (me), the theatrics outshine the taste and quality of the ice cream. If you like Benihana for the show you’ll like this place, but you can find far better Japanese food than Benihana and much better ice cream than here. When we visited the air con was broken and it was 92 degrees in the shop and the girl behind the counter was super sweet. Probably the best feature here…

The novelty of it is cool, product is alright, preparation is inconsistent. 2 orders of the same thing... Dole whip, plain... oddly different consistency; one was smooth and juicy, the other chunky and chewy. Environment feels darker than it used to be.

Its funny how often I end up here after ice-skating. Everyone has been super nice and helpful and the ice creams are fantastic. I always get the custard but they also have Dole Whip!

Always love this little gem! The employees are kind and its super fun to watch them make the ice cream! Bonus points for non-dairy alternatives! My sister cant have milk, and even other places that have non-dairy alternatives dont have much variety... Its so rare to go to a place where she can have literally any flavor she wants! 😁

Hands down, thIs lil shop in a strip mall at the end of Simi is home of the BEST ice cream I’ve ever tasted! Not sure if it is because you can pick ANY flavor or goodies to add that you like, or if it just doesn’t get any fresher than actually freezing liquid ingredients before your eyes…but YUM! I don’t live nearby, but if I am ever remotely close I find myself making a detour for my kiddos & I on the way home. The employees are always friendly & accommodating of my request to put a “super freeze” on my concoctions so they make it the 20miles home. Glad I found this place! 🙂

My family and I tried Sub Zero last night for the first time and unfortunately last time. We all agreed that the asthetics of the store and the science of the ice cream were more valuable than the taste of the ice cream after it was made. Customer service was great, but ice cream tasted more like nitrogen or some kind of chemical rather than the flavor they were trying to create. Appreciated vegan options but will not be going back to Sub Zero anymore. Wish it was better tasting.

Little gal making the ice cream gave tons of attention to each patron, especially the little guys, asking questions about school, telling them about the ice cream making process.

Had to walk out. Always enjoyed getting ice cream from here, but after a 30 minute wait to get something that resembled their dragons breath things we had to walk before they made ours. Service is always good but I think the guy doing the mixing needs some training.

First off, I just want to say that the staff here was amazing! If you are the owner or manager of this place, both of your employees from the closing shift on 02/16/2020 deserve a raise. They were both knowledgeable, friendly, and helped us through the experience, going out of their way to make our 8 year old son smile. They were enthusiastic, warm, and great at their jobs in a way that is so hard to find in employees.I loved the employee creation I tried... I think it was called raspberry pie or something similar (raspberries, brownie batter, and graham cracker crumbs, original cream). My girlfriend got the banana cream pie, and my son made his own with cherries and Oreos.The actual freezing of the cream was awesome and interesting to watch. If I may insert a groan-worthy dad joke here, it was super cool hahaWe even tried the Dragons Breath balls just for fun. You definitely have to eat them quickly to produce the effect of frosty breath but they were fun and made us all laugh.I wish one of these was closer to us. We had a blast and will definitely seek out these shoppes again whenever we see them.

The service was good: friendly, attentive, and generous. The ice cream was delicious! My kids absolutely love the liquid nitrogen and all the mist. The employees really play to it. The facilities are clean and well-maintained. The overall, a good time!

Love taking my kids here. The ice cream is really good - very fresh tasting. It is a little pricey for ice cream. But we go for a special experience. My kids love it when they make the fog for the ice cream. The girl working last time we went was so nice.

Review №21

Such good ice cream!!! The flavors are so unique and interesting. My sister and I ended up sharing the cucumber and green tea. The cucumber was definitely different from anything Ive tried. It had bits of cucumber and was pretty refreshing. The green tea was delicious and the texture was what made it a bit different. I think the combo was good because there was a safe flavor along with a more unique one. I would definitely come back again!!!

My reviews center on eating Gluten Free. Luckily we got there at a slow time and the employees had time to go get the jug of their ice cream base so I could read the ingredients - thanks! But neither of them knew if it was gluten free and frankly didnt know what gluten is.Happily, the ice cream base looked GF and I feel okay after eating it.They were OUT of salted caramel flavor! But we can live around that.We love freshly made liquid nitrogen ice cream - so very creamy. I think maybe Creamistry achieves the silkiest mouth-feel of all, with their big mixers working the ice cream, but this was very good. It had better be good, at close to $8 for a Regular cup (their middle size). Think about the cost of a pint of Ben and Jerrys, etc.The employees were friendly and helpful, but food workers these days need to know at least the basics about food sensitivities and ingredients.I recommend enjoying a treat here - especially if you have no limitations and can eat anything you want - count your blessings.

I dont like that you cant sample anything because its made to order. I didnt like the flavor I chose, brownie badder. I got marshmallows, brownie bites and pecans. It didnt mix well for me.I do like how the ice cream was made. Pretty neat! My friend got caramel ice cream with white chocolate and it was better than what I got, and I dont even like white chocolate.

Review №27

Staff is not always welcoming and polite especially given the uniqueness of the product and the fact the ice cream is on the expensive side . When my children tried to watch the delicious science take place ftom. behind the glass they were told to move back and get down off the ledge which appears to be present for younger ones to see.better and tcpme evening hours they never answer the phone . Customer appreciation and thus customer service is weak.

The kids were excited about it, but there was a long line. We were willing to wait, but after 15 minutes they had only helped 2 people. We ended up giving up (so had a few others) and going to dairy queen.We drove past on the way back to the hotel after eating and the people that were in line in front of us were just exiting with their order!

This is ice cream you have to think about. Create your own flavor or choose from multiple flavor recipes. The ice cream is made in front of you using liquid nitrogen to freeze the ingredients. Good flavor.

My kids could hardly wait to try this place. As they freeze the ice cream in front of you with nitrogen a cool fogs spills over the counter. Looks cools. They both got the yogurt as the base with one mix-in for $14. (The girl at the counter should have been more helpful since weve never been before.)We are all shocked by the chemical flavor. Didnt taste good like ice cream or frozen yogurt from Cold Stones, DQ, etc or grocery store. Just tasted like frozen chemicals. Maybe the other bases taste better.

Yummie. 🍧Custom Ice cream made right in front of you from a list of different types of milks. Hundreds of flavor and mix in combinations. My favorite is cashew milk rocky road. I just cant get enough. The bathroom is clean and the only downer is NO Wifi so minus one star. ☹️

What a fun experience. SO many options. Vegan, dairy free, full force cream and a ton of toppings. Fresh made ice-cream. We learned they do catering and hired them for one of our Open House events. It was such a great experience that my daughter requested them at her wedding! I just learned a dangerous things...they are now on Uber eats. So worth the experience its and the great ice-cream.
