so I tried Pinkberry (the west coast's "tasti-d") yesterday. It's in Koreatown on 32nd St between 5th and 6th ave...mush closer to 5th ave. Anyways they only have two flavors, original (don't know if that's vanilla, or some fruity flavor that looks white) and green tea. I am a green tea fanatic, so i tried green tea with mochi balls.
First of all the small is a lot bigger than a tasti-d small...so hence it's like $3.75 with no toppings. The mochi balls are not out in the open, so unless you're in the "pinkberry know" you have to ask for it as "rice cake" or something...cos i guess no one knows it's called mochi (well at least in japanese, don't know what it is in chinese or korean). Anyways with mochi balls it came out to $5.26.
The green tea (soft serve) was not sweet like typical green tea ice cream, nor was the tea flavor as strong. It also had this unusual citrus flavor. I think I'll stick to tasti-d or (jamba juice's green tea smoothie)...cos i like the creaminess, and I can get mochi in chinatown. If you like fruit toppings, I'd say try Pinkberry, if you're more a creamy ice cream person, stay clear of this place. Those people in LA are weird.
