EskiMo feels a bit different from other shops. First, the colors and name were unlike others I've seen. You can tell when decorations for a shop are expensive, and I sensed that the investor/owner for this shop really invested to make it look and feel nice. The big problem is that I think that the shop should have better and more seating. I was a bit uncomfortable sitting in a high (above the floor) chair on a counter. And it's not an easy place to have a conversation with someone. But let
One of the main reasons why I wouldn't give this shop very low rating is the service was great. The guy at the counter was very friendly and because I was the only customer in the shop (which actually surprised me since it was after dinner, around 9-ish), he spent time to explain each flavor and topping. That was impressive, his knowledge but also his patience and helpfulness. If he's still there, I hope he gets a raise or a promotion because he's one of the best staff I've seen in a yogurt shop so far. He even offered water to me later. Very cool.
Unfortunately, without a quality yogurt product (toppings were okay), and a better way to serve it, I'm not able to give a high rating. I'm so used to self-serve so if I have to pay extra for each topping, then I don't enjoy the experience. I prefer to control topping portions, and I can't do that here. Loved the mochi though. The staff told me it's homemade and I loved the flavor and texture of the mochi.
Overall, it's worth a try and maybe one more try. But unfortunately, the yogurt product's taste and texture is not for most people. Some people in HK may enjoy the differences, but not many. I personally didn't like the yogurt and probably won't be back until they create something new. In some ways, I like this shop, so I hope they are able to deliver an improved product.
