OMG Squee — Restaurant in Austin

I live an hour from Austin and when I am there I really try to eat at local mom and pop restaurants and food trucks etc. I usually do research a head of time so I get to experience as much as possible while I am there. I am also Japanese American from California and really try to find the best Asian food in my area! I came upon this place and happened to be in Austin with my son for his birthday so after lunch we swung by and wow! I can only say how blown away by their Taiyaki sundae. I grew up eating some of the best Asian food in So Cal so I was spoiled. I having been to Japan and growing up in a Japanese American household, Japanese tend to prefer deserts that are not overly sweet. I had the strawberry milk ice cream and custard filled Taiyaki. This ice cream was so creamy and smooth, the strawberry was gently sweet but not tart similar to what I had in Japan. The Taiyaki itself was so spot on it was lightly crispy on the outside but not crunchy or hard in anyway. The inside was so fluffy and light and really almost tastes like the most perfect waffle. The custard on the inside was creamy and also not overly sweet. It was the perfect compliment to the ice cream and Taiyaki. Also I want to also say that non of it tasted artificial, you could tell the ingredients are really good quality! I can’t wait to go back and try their other flavors and treats. I have to say I am extremely picky about my food especially Asian food, it’s quality and the accuracy of our culture. I hope you get a chance to try this place you will not be dissatisfied, it’s so delicious the building itself is unassuming but also sweet and cute but you get smacked in the face with total yumminess. Its perfect in its simplicity, it’s not the overtly sweet sugary ice cream with candies like gummy bears and chocolate chips added on top of it. That would really ruin the perfect recipe they have here. I am going out on put it there but the ice cream is by far the best ice cream I have...

I don't know about these high ratings... overrated for me. I reckon this place only got a lot of press for a connection with some reality TV show. Living in the SF Bay Area, we have plenty of similar venues. While I liked the items I got, nothing here stood out for me. To begin, Omg Squee is well off the beaten path. It's in the middle of nowhere, you need to make a journey here.

Omg Squee was OK for me, nothing for me to rave about... Parking it tough; not a lot of spaces in front of the store, very challenging if this place gets busy. The inside is tiny, there is no room to sit. Place your order and sit / wait outside or grab it and go. There is a limited amount of seating outside. However you need to contend with the weather, extreme heat / cold etc. and lets not forget the flies. They want to come say Hi...all of them, one by one. Omg Squee doesn't give soft serve samples! Ummm...yeah; No soft serve samples...umm wha?! The reasoning was the way the machine works, it will dispense too much! rigghhttt. Yet here in the the Bay Area you can get samples from any similar venue like Somi Somi, Matcha Cafe Maiko or Uji Time.

#SUGAR ~ SOFT SERVE: Earl Grey & Ube swirl - 3/5 I couldn't sample the other flavors and the solo Earl Grey flavor was not working. So this was the choice. Both the flavors were very light, a bit too light for my liking.

~ MOCHI DONUTS: Ube Oreo - 4/5 Matcha - 4/5 Coconut Pandan - 4/5 The donuts were good, but at 3.95 a piece...ouch

~ MATCHA MATCHA UBE MILK - 3.5/5 This was good, a bit sweet, but good

I'd recommend stopping by if you are in the area, otherwise you aren't missing out in life. First and last...

OMG squee can really be a hit or a miss for me. For those who have never been this dessert shop changes their donut and ice cream flavors every two weeks. Some weeks are good, others not so much. Unfortunately this time was one of those not so good weeks.

The owner is doing an adventure time themed set with four different character donuts and four inspired flavors. The only flavors that I liked were Lady lumps( the pink and green donut that is matcha, lemon, and lavender flavored), Rock N Roll Vamp( gray donut with red and Black sesame and raspberry flavored. Please bring this back), and unacceptably Lemon( the yellow donut with white cream which is a lemon sour cream cake flavor).

The Chilli & buttered(blue and yellow) was a blueberry sweet corn with blue brown buttered glaze and tasted ok but the blueberry pieces baked into the donut gave it a weird texture.

The adventure boy(white character donut black & white chocolate choc chip + cream cheese flavor) was kind of bland and a little underwhelming.

The magic boy( yellow character donut maple bacon pancake flavored) had a very light maple flavor just tasted more like frosting on a mochi donut.

The Gum queen( pink character donut which was bubblegum flavored) wasn’t bad but after two or three bites it tasted like pepto bismo.

Finally the A.I bestie( blue character donut that is tropical dreamsicle flavor) was a little too artificial tasting for me.

Overall it’s still a pretty good spot and the boba is good, this cycle was just a wash for me.

Also keep in mind that there is not a lot of parking so you may need to park a...
