      sweet red bean mochi flavor is SO. GOOD. the red bean pieces and mochi mixed in were such a good pairing literally some of the best ice cream i've ever had the chance to eat. customer service was top tier and all the employees were super friendly and helpful in helping me decide between all the asian-inspired flavors they had to offer. like you're telling me i had to choose between red bean and also lychee, black sesame, and passion fruit?!! haven't seen a place with such a variety that calls to my palate like this cute lil place does and i can't wait to come back again when i have the chance to (and hopefully try some of the food as well, was too full when i went but whatever they were cooking up smelled amazing).

      Definitely will be coming back. The portions are crazy! (Double scoop really means three!) Ordered the strawberry shortcake and marble fudge and it's was fire. The decor is fun and definitely for kids. Service great!

      See you soon ice cream palace

      My friends and I recently visited Joe's Ice Cream & Burgers, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish. Nestled in the Richmond of San Francisco this gem of a spot offers a fantastic selection of ice creams and savory treats that will leave you craving for more.

      Now, let's talk about the star of the show - the ice cream! Joe's boasts an extensive array of flavors, making it a paradise for any ice cream enthusiast. After much deliberation, I opted for the bubblegum ice cream, and it was nothing short of amazing. The creamy texture combined with bursts of nostalgic flavor made every spoonful a true delight.

      But the goodness doesn't stop there. Joe's also offers a tempting selection of burgers and other savory options, promising a satisfying meal for those looking to indulge their taste buds further. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu offerings.

      Overall, our experience at Joe's Ice Cream & Burgers was nothing short of exceptional. With its wide selection of ice creams, inviting ambiance, and friendly service, it's no wonder this place earns a perfect 5/5 stars in my book. Whether you're craving a sweet treat or a hearty meal, Joe's has something for everyone. I'll definitely be back for more, and I highly recommend you pay them a visit too!

      Sampled my usual Asian flavors of Earl Grey, Thai Tea, black sesame. The first two were a bust -- the tea flavors were not there and there was this weird flavor coming through the ice cream that I didn't like. The black sesame had a strong black sesame flavor so I went with that one.

      Black sesame ice cream - black sesame flavor was prominent. It was the only flavor out of the ones that I tried that I was okay with. I really wanted ice cream that day, so I went with this. There was a chewy texture to the ice cream that I wasn't a fan of. Makes me suspect there are gums in the ice cream ingredient list. All in all, I wouldn't come here again for ice cream.

      Happy birthday Joe! You've been a great neighbor. Thank you for the free ice cream to the first 1000 (which they have not reached yet as of 5 pm!) Come and get yours!

      We were walking on Geary street and saw this place. The weather was cold but we decided to get ice cream. They have so many flavor options that are very unique. We tried a wasabi flavor that had light spice but was sweet and the other flavor we had was passion fruit. Service is quick and friendly. We will definitely be back to try more flavors.

      Good neighborhood ice cream place with a variety of flavors, including some Asian flavors as well. I've tried the black sesame before and went with cookies and cream and red bean this time. The ice cream is pretty standard and isn't the most smooth/creamy, but still good for ice cream. It satisfied my dessert craving. Generous portions.

      I hadn't been to Joe's Ice Cream in years, not since they were located kitty corner to where they are now! This "new" location is so cute!! Everything is bright and clean looking with lots of cute things on the walls. They seem to offer more food items than I remember them offering when they were in their old location. I only had ice cream (actually dalgona coffee ice cream and passion fruit sorbet), but all the others had the bulgogi burger with the curly fries. Everyone loved their burgers! They looked really juicy and delicious; maybe next time! I had some of the fries dipped in gochujang sauce and they were pretty good. The portion of fries was huge, so they can definitely be shared! The burgers came with mushrooms, grilled onions, lettuce, and I think tomato and a side of bulgogi sauce, although there might have been sauce cooked with the patty, too.

      My dalgona coffee ice cream was absolutely delicious; so creamy and rich! After tasting it, I had to order it! And any time there's passion fruit anything, I *have* to have it!! The two balanced themselves; rich and creamy and light and tart! I believe they make all their own ice creams, sherbets, and sorbets.

      The women working there were friendly and welcoming, especially the young women. The older woman was a bit more reserved, but maybe there was a language barrier. Anyway, the young women more than made up for it! I always like to support family businesses, especially when the people working are nice! I'll have to go back soon and tow my grandkids along, too!

      Such good flavors! They incorporate Asian ingredients that I haven't found elsewhere. The black sesame flavor tastes like almost mochi-like. And they had this caramel-like Asian coffee flavor that was fantastic. Service was a little slow given there's one girl behind the counter, but she was super nice and ice cream was worth it!

      They also sell (diner) food!

      I love the unique ice cream flavors here! The workers are so nice and it's so clean. Perfect for families or a friend hangout! I tried the black sesame which is the flavor of the month. IT WAS SO GOOD! I highly recommend everyone to try the flavor out! Will come again! :)
