Yuki Shaved Snow

This place is a unique find. They have some weird things I’m too chicken to try, like ice cream stuffed donuts. The shaved ice however is some of the best. They use already flavored ice and shave it into a cup. Like that all the ice is flavored and not just a syrup poured on top.
My favorite is the honeydew flavor. Mm mm mm! Price is reasonable for what you get.
And who knows maybe you will be brave enough to try some of the weirder things.

We came into yuki after leaving one place with horrible customer service to find a young woman behind the counter. We are met with a very somber attitude. When my son asked for cotton candy, she looked annoyed and said we don’t have that. Then I asked if he could try green tea ice, again she says we don’t have that. So I ask what they do have. She rattled off a list. She seemed so irritated that my son couldn’t make a choice. He didn’t want to ask for a sample because she seemed as though we were bugging her. When we were leaving she was in the back room. We then noticed another young woman back there talking on the phone. I guess customer service is hard to come by these days. Inspiring me to cook more at home. I’ll save money and frustration that way!

This is the only place I know that offers donut ice cream sandwiches in Las Vegas! Besides the donut ice cream sandwiches and shaved snow offered at one place that makes them unique, this place is just like any other nice ice cream place in my opinion!
They serve thrifty’s ice cream & gives a good amount for what you pay for if I remember correctly! I have not been able to try the shaved snow yet, but it looks equally appetizing as other places that I’ve tried in Chinatown! I agree that there isn’t much space in the shop either as I’ve read from another review!

Place is very simple and nice. Not a lot of space in the store but if it’s empty then it’s perfect. I loved the workers earlier in their release but they are helpful in what you need. The shaved snow is great! I’m more of a fan of this place other than more conventional places down the street. Only wish the store had more places to sit and looked a little more aesthetically pleasing to the eye. But great dessert!

Today was my 3^rd time here. Was disappointed with the amount of serving. Last 2 times had ample amount on shaved snow. However, today shaved snow barely half the amount of the cup. No consistency with the amounts they serve. Female staff seemed annoyed that she had to work. 9:20pm

Nice clean little ice cream shop with thrifty ice cream flavors for a reason a price. I think it is a nice little family spot and every shaved ice flavor you’d need or want.

Yum! Shaved snow in the north west part of town!
Lots of shaved snow flavors to choose from & lots of different toppings. I tried the green tea, cotton candy & green tea, all very good. Lychee, not that great lol.
They also have Thrifty’s ice cream! Can’t go wrong with that.
I don’t recommend the creamy buns.
I couldn’t wait to try them & when I finally did I was pretty disappointed. The donut is so big & sweet, I could barely taste my ice cream. Also, the foil it was it was stuck to my donut so I was eating paper.
The reason I am giving 4 stars is because of their lack of customer service. I’ve been there multiple times & have only received great customer service from one girl (don’t remember her name).
One girl that worked there looked like she hated her job. She rushed me as I was ordering several shaved snows to go & was so monotone & boring. I didn’t receive a greeting or a thank you, even when I tipped her.
Besides rude, unhappy workers, I will be back here to get my shaved snow fix! The store is very clean & they have some games you can play if you decide to sit down & hang out.

I got a creamy bun with birthday cake it’s so good. It can be a bit sweet if u mix a lot of flavors but it was an organism in my mouth

First of all, it’s hard to find cause there were no lights on the outside. Luckily I spotted it in the corner of Albertsons. If you enjoy thrifty ice cream flavored then this is the place to go. Adding a donut to the ice cream makes it so much sweeter, but the taste isn’t that great. I had the glazed donut with mocha almond fudge ice cream and it was for $ 5. Not a bad price for the two items combined. The staff were friendly and greeted us as we entered. I would definitely go back, but leave out the donut next time.

So glad there’s a tasty snow place that is NOT in china town area. The flavor are very delicious and you can add a scoop of thriftys ice cream for a $ 1! Sweet deal. You get the best of both delicious worlds.

I walked in to the chalkboard with «Revenge of the fifth» on it.
I was sold, but it got better. I got the creamy bun with mint chip and donut crunch. BEST THING EVAH it was amazing to eat and really sticky nommy ness.
¹¹⁄₁₀ best foods.

WHaaaaaaaaTTTT!!!
You take a doughnut, cut it in half, take 2 scoops of ice cream, add toppings, put in the doughnut, pop it in the microwave and VWAAAAALAAAH! Diabetes to go! (Creamy Bun)
This is only one of many of their specials here at Yuki. Located in the Albertsons shopping center on Durango and Farm, next to Pink Nails, SuperCuts, and a lingerie store. Yup, come get your nails did, hair did, and get your sugar on in a hot red thong. haha.
What ordered:
Mango shaved snow with condense milk and taro
Circus Animal cookie ice cream with condense milk
Honey Dew shaved snow and condense milk
Rocky Road ice cream with almond
Oh and they have a Thriftys inside too. It’s dangerous, having one practically next door to the house, «Get in my BELLY!!» If it wasn’t for my lil nephew Donnie, having a sugar craving on his 10^th birthday, I may not have payed this place a visit. Thanks D!
Family owned and only one in existence. Been at the location since 2013. This is not your regular ice, then add flavor ice dessert. They call it shaved snow in fact, and the outgoing cashier that helped us out, let us try before we buy. Some of their flavors are lychee, taro, mango, honey dew, passion fruit, cocoa, strawberry and even FROZEN COTTON CANDY, a favorite of my lil nephew Donny. What you get is a almost yogurt like dessert. You also have choices of toppings ranging from almonds, fresh mango, and strawberries to mango drizzle, chocolate syrup, and condense milk (liquid diabetes). Enough choices to make that sweet tooth scream «UNCLE!» Ok, maybe not that extreme.
Customer service was a treat in itself. Friendly and inviting. Informative and knowledgeable.
Oh, and they have a stand alone pc thingy there that you can use to sign up for newsletters or take pictures and either post on Facebook or even email it to yourself.
Clean and family friendly environment with a cute penguin logo completes this neighborhood frozen factory. Definitely one of my go to spots to tame my sugar gremlin. The heat is around the corner, you should go too.

I was awesomely overwhelmed with yummy icecream smells when I walked in. The dessert was great! And the customer service was even better! (Super friendly and informative!) I think maybe some other Unilocal reviewers visited the store when it was clearing out some training kinks when they first opened because service was great for us each time. I feel like we should all be supportive and understanding of small businesses (not enough of them)!
Anyway!bI had a scoop of pistachio Thirfty’s in a waffle cone! Can never go wrong with Thirty’s! I’ve tried the shaved snow before and it really was shaved… ICE CREAM (if you can imagine that). I like taro with strawberries and mochi :)
My BF had a vanilla creamy bun with cinnamon crunch! Apparently he thinks that’s a nutritious breakfast since it has cereal! I guess it’s always a good time for dessert! Yay Yuki!

I love this place… Just so yummy and I’ve never had ice cream in a freakin donut before. Are you freakin kidding me… This is going to get me in trouble. My husband the butt head couldn’t believe how fast I inhaled this delicious combination. Oooooooooh the calories are going to get me but seriously it’s so good and the shaved snow is just yum yum

Checked this place out with fellow Unilocaler Rachel S. while I was visiting her on the other side of the earth (aka middle of nowhere N. Las Vegas). It was one of the few dessert spots around her place and I wanted to see what the area had to offer.
Yuki is a Thrifty ice cream shop + shaved ice stand (like the ones in Chinatown) combined. During our visit we ordered the ‘Creamy Bun’ which isn’t nearly as fun as it sounds. Its a glazed donut warmed up and then stuffed with ice cream and toppings. Kinda like cookie sandwich but with a giant donut. While it sounded good in theory the actual product was pretty mediocre. The ice cream melted quickly and the donut itself was pretty bland.
I didn’t get a chance to try any of their shaved ice which probably would have been better. They also offer boba drinks and smoothies. Worth a second visit if I ever venture out there again.

Glad to have something like this in our neck of the woods!
We hit it up every so often when we’re looking for something sweet. They have thrifty I’ve cream for me and shaved snow for the boys. I’ve never been a fan of the snow, not sure why so I stick to the ice cream. I usually go for the cereal toppings. There’s a good selection of toppings you can add to either your ice cream or your snow. They will even stick ice cream in the middle of a donut. Staff have always been friendly and the prices seem pretty reasonable too.
There’s nothing that’s über special about it, but it’s nice to have something close to get a quick treat.

Finally, I can get snow ice treats without going to Chinatown! This place has been open for months but I was only recently able to check it out despite living just down the street. Aside from serving shaved snow, they also have a full selection of Thrifty ice cream. The store is clean and there is plenty of seating. They also have a photo booth where you can take photos and then share them through social media.
For shaved snow, there are about 6 or so flavors you can choose from. If you get a large one ($ 6 – 7), you can chose up to 2 different flavors. This was great because I wanted to try both the green tea and taro. The large snow also comes with 2 toppings and 1 sauce and I went with rainbow mochi, lychee popping boba and condensed milk. The snow was flavorful and fluffy, and the toppings I got were nice compliments to the snow.
I’ll have to come back to try an item they call the «creamy bun» lol. Apparently it’s a warm glazed donut filled with ice cream… not the other creamy bun you were probably thinking of. Their pricing is a little steeper than places in Chinatown but for the convenience and cleanliness/​appearance of their store, I’d come here over Chinatown any day.

My bf’s house is a zillion miles away from my place which was the only reason I was up here. He said he wanted to try it so… off we went on 07÷11÷14.
I’ve only had snow cream /​ribbon shaved ice at Kuma in Chinatown and now this. Suffice it to say that I’ve decided that I don’t like snow cream in general. Way too sweet for me. I will say that this place is better than Kuma because it doesn’t have a weird corn syrup consistency when it begins to melt.
Brian P. (Read his review & check out his pics) and I split a gigantic snow with taro & green tea. I actually preferred the taro (which is typical for me.) Condensed milk just got lost in the sugar coma bomb as did the popping boba.
While the shop was nice and clean and the service was friendly, I think Brian will be flying solo on any subsequent visits as it’s not my dessert of choice.

Ahhh! Yuki Shaved Snow. A huge breath of fresh air on a hot, hot, hot day.
Ambiance: 4 — The area was small with with maybe 4 – 5 small tables with around 7 – 8 chairs inside. But it’s not like it’s super busy yet, so you can stay inside and chat about food with your friends!
On the counter, you can view all the toppings and ice cream from the glass wall that they have set up!
Service: 4 — Servers were a little impatient with me trying to decide what I wanted, but they were nice. I asked for time to decide, but she still seemed to be on edge hah! Relaaax! Chill, girl! You work in an ice cream shop! :)
Food: 4 — In this ice cream shop, they serve 3 main things:
(1) Ice cream (cone or cup)
(2) Shaved Flavored Ice (5 for regular and 6.50 for large)
–The price was pretty worth it for the amount of ice that I got! My favorite flavor is currently honeydew!
(3) Creamy buns: Ice cream (+ 1 topping) that they put inside of a doughnut bun that they (attempt to) heat and seal with (what I think is) doughnut icing.
–I had the creamy bun, it was really, really sweet – so not my style exactly – but it would be really yummy for those sugar lovers! I prefer my doughnuts and ice cream separate!
Another reason I might not have liked the bun was because it was pretty messy; they put the ice cream in first, then heated it up! They should really lightly warm the doughnut first, and then add the ice cream – just because it was such a hot day and the ice cream melted fast and spilled all over!!! :O
The entire menu was written on white board, which I hope means: new flavors… Often!!! Hopefully! That way we get to taste the real creative side of Yuki! Well, there it is! Try not to get too addicted, Unilocalers!

Let it snow… Let it snow… Let it snow…
If you’re having a hard time picturing what exactly snow is check out my photos. Basically, cylindrical blocks of ice (made of milk water and flavoring) are mounted onto an ice shaver, which slices snow off in sheets. The snow is shaved super thin and layered into ribbons. When you eat it, the ribbons melt in the mouth. Kinda’ like cotton candy. It is super light and fluffy — don’t be alarmed by the mountain of snow they will serve you.
YUKI will let you sample a variety of flavors. Just ask to try one. They serve their snow in a style that reflects most of the popular frozen yogurt chains. You get your choice of cup size and toppings spooned on – 2 toppings included w/​a single choice of syrup like condensed milk.
My honey and I have visited this location twice. The girls working the counter have been bubbly and helpful when making our selection — important since this was our first snow experience. The Taro w/​condensed milk topped w/​fruit has been our favorite treat so far.
If your looking to try something new… Go ahead and enjoy your snow with a doughnut. I like to try out of the box items and this caught my eye. I will look forward to reading any reviews who try this combo. We opted out during our visits but liked seeing an untraditional option on the menu.
I like his little location and will return when I’m in the mood for a treat during these blazing days of summer. They have patio seating outside (so you can bring your pup on a snow run) and a few tables inside to kick back. This is defiantly a nice addition to the expanding NW.
