SNOW 8 — Premium Shaved Ice Experience in Saigon

Ho Chi Minh City is hot year-round, with intense heat from March to May. In this climate, “SNOW 8” offers a new kind of dessert experience that sets itself apart from ordinary shaved ice.

Authentic Japanese-style Shaved Ice in Saigon
The writer, who had experienced authentic shaved ice in Japan, had long been unsatisfied with Saigon’s offerings. After the closure of their favorite “Snow Cafe,” they finally discovered “SNOW 8,” which rekindled their excitement. The shop is located on Ly Tu Trong Street, surrounded by many popular spots.

Fluffy Ice and Quality Ingredients
The ice at “SNOW 8” is astonishingly powdery, melting in the mouth like freshly fallen snow. It’s cold yet doesn’t give a brain freeze. The menu centers on fruit-based and Japanese-flavored varieties. For example, the mango flavor comes with cinnamon powder and mango syrup, while matcha and hojicha are popular Japanese options often served with ice cream.

Cinnamon Meets Japanese Tea
Vietnamese cinnamon is used, and the matcha and hojicha ice creams are highly rated. The hojicha with condensed milk offers a perfect balance of roasted aroma and sweetness. Cornflake toppings add a fun texture.

Hidden Menu
By asking the staff, customers can order a half-and-half combination of matcha and hojicha—an off-menu treat available during less busy hours.

Fruits Sell Out Fast
There’s a fruit showcase at the counter, but the imported Japanese fruits are so popular that they often sell out quickly.
