We visited -8℃ Ice Cream in Gardena (strip mall- Tokyo Central). They serve rolled ice cream with lots of flavors and toppings. We chose the Thai iced tea base and added our own toppings—the ice cream was absolutely delicious
Helpful Tips:
• Cash-only for small orders – no credit cards under a certain amount, so bring cash .
• Price: $10 for a bowl—yes for the novelty and great taste. But expensive!
• Atmosphere: Slightly psychedelic EL wire décor and friendly, hardworking staff—families and teens were clearly enjoying the vibe.
Bottom line: A flavorful, fun rolled ice cream spot. Unique. Pick your flavor, choose toppings, bring cash, and enjoy!

This is my favorite rolled ice cream place. When it is a little busy, it takes a little longer because there is only usually 2-3 people working at a time, so it’s understandable. The ice cream is $8.50 per cup, but it is very filling, and it is free toppings. Most other places charge per topping, so it is nice that they don’t, and they have a lot of options. The ice cream and always mixed very well and very creamy. I make sure I come back here as often as I can. It is so good!

Every time I come to visit Cali this is always a must for me! I love the service here, the ice cream, and the atmosphere. It’s a cute little spot. Strawberry rolled up ice cream with strawberries, banana and peanuts! Best thing ever!!!! Every time I’m in town I’m here!

Love the ice cream but the place seriously needs better decor, replace all the old signs, replace the games, clean up the walls, change out the toppings containers. I think it’ll bring back the spark it once had! Wishing you guys the best

I didn’t bother to take pictures. The folks working here don’t greet or smile. A welcome would be nice or acknowledge the guest. The toppings aren’t visible and person serving isn’t helpful offering what’s available. Looks like then it was the spot to visit based on pictures. Unfortunately the ice cream was bland. The wafers were dry and should be covered for freshness. You’re off better at yogurtland for the price. Sorry for the negative review just being honest. 6pm/9-28

We ordered Fruity Pebble and Mango Go. They were pretty good. They mixed the flavors we picked with milk on the cold stone. Then flattened it into a thin layer and then rolled it up like little egg rolls then put it in the cups. They offered you unlimited toppings too. It’s $9.00 per cup….pretty decent amount for the price though. They also serve food and drinks here as well.

Every time I come here they never disappoint. I don’t wanna be mean but I rated another rolled ice cream that cost the same money but look at the difference…. You get your moneys worth especially because they offer unlimited toppings and the flavor of the ice cream is so good. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is so casual and chill. The lights the music make the place so much more appealing. Definitely the best rolled ice cream I’ve tried so far in LA.

Ice cream roll spot in the Tokyo Central plaza. Came here for dessert after dinner at Sweet Rice nearby. Note there’s a credit card minimum of $20. Otherwise cash is accepted. Ice creams with unlimited toppings are $9 each so we opted for extra Oreos for one of the ice creams, which was the equivalent of two extra Oreos. I got the matcha flavor while my friend got the Oreo flavor. The taste wasn’t as sweet as I was hoping for and the wafers were stale. I did appreciate that they have fruits available as an option. Plenty of seating available inside. Free parking available in the parking lot.

After a long day, I needed to cool down, so I called in an order and picked it up in person at Negative 8. The process was quick and easy. The Fruity Pebbles ice cream hit the spot and honestly ended up being the highlight of my day. I’ll definitely be back to try more flavors.

We visited during the day and not so busy. Service was good. The ice cream with topping was yummy with a very good value compared to a place like cold stone.
Experience wise it could be a little confusing. Is it $6.75 for anything I want? How many topping can I put on? It seems like you can do whatever you want and have as much toppings.
Flavor wise it was lacking the creamy ice cream taste. The process of being instant ice cream might be the thing to the lack of cream. Just as long as you know this going in then you‘re ok. I added sweeten condensed milk to make up for that taste.
The place needs to add pictures to end products so that you can see the end results.
Last is a gripe. They need high chairs. People have little kids and ice cream needs two hands.
