Bingsu fruit quality was good but ice to fruit ratio was off (too much fruits/sauce vs shaved ice thus too sweet compared to the innumerable other bingsu’s I’ve had in the tri-state/mainland area). Ice was also not shaved as fine in comparison. But what really drove my low review was the terrible customer service. Took multiple tries for front register to understand and take my order. Then it took another 45+ mins for my bingsu to come out, during which there was nothing complimentary to compensate for my lost time (sorry to sound entitled but it was FORTY FIVE MINS!! Of my whole family’s time!!). My order was changed 3x after I ordered – I ordered strawberry matcha and after 10+ mins was told strawberry “isn’t coming out as expected”, then I said mango matcha was fine and was told 5? 10? Minutes later they don’t have mango. Finally I said fine pineapple works and ultimately that’s what I got another 25 mins later, but even then they made a pineapple not pineapple matcha but by then I couldn’t be bothered to complain since it was already an hour in and I was rushing for a flight (which I barely made in time btw, last to board after gunning it with hubby and 2 young kids in tow). The ladies at the table next to us who ordered right after us also waited 45+minutes for a small bingsu; they were also visibly annoyed. Tteok-bokki was not spicy at all (my 4yo ate it when she has zero tolerance for heat) which was disappointing. I’m sorry to have to leave a negative review since I really wanted to support a fellow Asian, but my mind was really blown by how terrible the experience was and nothing was proactively done to try and make it better for its customers.

Tried the spicy pork kimbap and it was delicious. Also tried the bulgogi bowl but it was a little too sweet for my taste. The cucumber kimchi was good though. Wish they made a tuna and kimchi kimbap too!

I come here often to grab a quick post workout snack. It’s very convenient because it’s on the way home & parking is easy and free. I’ve tried their bulgogi, spam & egg, and tuna Kimbap — so filling and delicious. I appreciate that it’s a thin layer of rice and lots of actual ingredients. I had their bulgogi protein bowl + added sunny side up egg with a side of Korean mashed potatoes. Absolutely lovely and flavorful. I’ve also had their Korean shave ice. I’m not into super sweet desserts, so I had the sesame one and I really enjoyed it. Totally worth trying this place out!

Very tasty mango bingsu! We were having breakfast next door and saw the menu here and wanted to try it out. Bingsu is smooth and refreshing. Mochi donuts and kimbap are also great

I think it was just “ok.” Service was almost non existent in an empty shop. Waited five minutes and had to call out for help from the back. Was the same for another family who came after us. The mochi donuts were not bad, but honestly I’d just stick with Gecko Girls on the other side of town.

Would highly recommend. Pineapple bingsu (pictured) was fresh and refreshing. Perfect level of sweetness. Snow ice texture was incredible.

The staff were so nice and accommodating, even though we came in close to closing and ordered a ton of food.
Pretty sure they re-opened the kitchen for us and were really nice the entire time. Food was great.
I was dumb and forgot something and they were once again, super nice and helpful when i returned to pick it up.
