Roll Bowl - Alameda

Friendly customer service. Best hand crafted ice cream roll. Wonton and popcorn Chicken must try!

The food is good, the curry rice was pretty decent and inspired me to add broccoli to my curry's at home. But, and I hate to say this, it's not as good as before. I genuinely miss the Thai basil chicken. Haven't had any of the soups yet so might update my rating. The woman who owns it is super nice and I understand that she probably needed to streamline service, that's fine, but I honestly would have paid more if it meant she could hire more staff.

This place is our all time favorite. Truly the best ice cream you'll find. Made right in front of you. I haven't tried that many of the savory dishes but the ones I've had are good. But the ice cream is really leaps and bounds above other places. My kids love to watch it being made as much as they love to eat it. (And it's the only place I get ice cream too. Other places just too sugary for my taste. This one is real ice cream)

The BFF and I were taking our older kids to a concert at the Fox theatre. Which meant we needed to fill the time we waited for them and do so kid-friendly since we had her 1 littles in tow. So on to Yelp I went. Found this cute spot that would offer dinner and a dessert they'd enjoy and let's not lie we would enjoy as well. Easy to find but parking is a bit of a nightmare. It was 7:30 on a Thursday and although I'm sure street parking in plentiful during the day not so much once everyone is home and tucked in. We found a parking garage about 2 blocks away. Walked into this place and albeit its cozy there are seats and tables for dine-in. Well lit. Clean and music was at a comfortable volume. We were greeted by the cheerful person behind the Covid friendly plexiglass. Asked if we wanted ice cream and I kindly let them know after dinner. I ordered spam fried rice, honey basil chicken, garlic noods and salt and pepper pork. Food came out in a timely manner. We 4 shared it all family style. Spam fried rice was a hit as was the honey basil chicken. The chicken was nicely breaded and fried crisp. Then drizzle in a honey sauce served with rice and garnished with fried basil leaves. The Salt Pepper I wanted to love. Unfortunately, every piece had a bone in it. We had to warn the littles. I also ordered a couple to-go's for when the kids got out of their concert. A basil chicken with egg and rice and for my son the vegetarian a salt and pepper tofu and rice. Glad I did that, because when they got out of the concert had worked up an appetite. On to the ice cream. This place offers a pretty substantial menu of flavors for their rolled ice cream. I had their ube ice cream topped with boba. Niece had green tea ice cream topped with boba. Nephew had cinnamon toast crunch ice cream and topped with mini marshmallows. The bff order a Nutella banana ice cream and topped it with fresh banana and drizzle of condensed milk. They were all YUM!!!! Customer service was on point. Love that they over full meals and not just snacks. Their ice cream was delicious. They even had a durian flavored ice cream if that's your thing. Price was decent. They don't have bathrooms for customers but there's a Jack in the Box just a few doors down. On a weekday they close at 9..dont know what their hours are on the weekends. I'd visit again
