Bingsu Bingsu — Restaurant in Arcadia

I've seen this newest Korean dessert spot popping on weekends and never had the opportunity to try it because I never had the patience to try it with the crowds but I finally tried on a Thursday night. Upon walking in, both the owners (husband and wife) were very warm and welcoming and introduced what they had to offer since it was my first time and shared what was very popular with other guests. They suggested for the bingsu, the strawberry mango was the most popular one and that's what I chose, even on a cold night. In addition, my friend and I got some taiyaki (Mozza Cheese, Nutella, Custard) and shared a Matcha + Red Bean Vanilla Soft Serve; don't judge us if the two of us actually finished all of this.

Strawberry Bingsu: The fruits were decadent and sweet all around! The amount of fruit they provided even on a regular sized bowl were more than I imagined. You honestly could have 4 people eat a regular sized bowl and this was honestly my favorite of the night. It pairs well with the mochi and almonds they gave on the side. We drizzled only a little bit of condensed milk since both the mango and strawberry were sweet already. The "snow" was soft and fluffy so it's definitely worth eating on a hot or cold day.

Taiyaki: My favorite ones were Nutella and the Mozza Cheese. If you're looking for the cheese pull and want to the a video of it, you'll need to order the Mozza Cheese taiyaki because it has a strong cheese pull. The custard one was alright but I may be biased since I'm not a custard fan in general but my friend likes custard. Nutella was really good and I mean what's not to like about anything Nutella?!

Vanilla Soft Serve: This had an interesting texture to it and it's unlike any other soft serve I've tasted. It's not a bad taste either but to me it seems like it has a mochi flavor taste instead of a vanilla taste. It's very smooth and buttery and goes well with the matcha and red bean. I just wished it had more red bean since I'm a big fan of red bean.

Overall, I think this lives up to a Korean dessert shop and I'm happy I don't have to drive to K-Town if I'm ever craving Korean desserts anymore. I hope they stay and last long because the owners are seriously the nicest and genuine...

Saw there was a new bingsu place here so had to give it a try. We came in the afternoon and it was packed inside. Luckily, we did not have to wait long to order.

We ordered the Signature Bibim Bingsu ($15). We managed to get a one seat by the window but it was only 1 seat so some of us had to stand, but we got more seats when some people left. The bingsu was ready in about 10 minutes and you pick up at the counter. They give you the spoons, condensed milk, and nuts.

The visual looked great and I could understand why people were talking about it on social media. The Signature bingsu came with kiwi, strawberry, mochi, chocolate waffle pieces, mango, red bean, and jelly. It looked great and the portion size is nice, but the taste was disappointing to say the least. The kiwi and strawberry were very sour, so it did not taste great with the ice. I don't know if they did that on purpose or if they got a bad delivery of unripe fruit. Good thing the mango was sweet. The mochi and red bean were also not great; it was obvious that they were store bought ones that were not freshly made and so they did not taste great. The only good thing was the texture of the shaved ice but that was still pretty average.

This bingsu place was just not that great. It was also pricey for what it tasted like. The portion is nice but that did not make up for how lacking it tasted. I have tasted much better bingsu at a cheaper price or even same price. I would not come here again for bingsu. This place is probably good just for trying for your first time or if you are at the mall and want...

I ordred a small strawberry bingsu and it was VERY small. It was I think around 7 to 9 dollars and I felt it was worth more 5 or 6 dollars. There is free condensed milk and you can put as much as you want whenever.

They use a lot of plastic with a small, the larges looked to be in a reusable bowl. My spoon was also plastic, so theres quite a bit of plastic waste. I wish they had reusable bowls for all sizes and bamboo spoons. If you order a drink however it comes in a glass container which was really nice and extremely cute.

The bingsu wasn't as flavorful as I thought it would be. The strawberries weren't that sweet maybe cause they're not in season. But I wish there were cheese cubes or strawberries inside of the bowl, it was only on top so I had to add condensed milk to the bottom to get more flavor.

The ambiance was pretty good for a new opening place, however I wish the cashier was a bit friendlier. I had a few questions, but he didn't look too happy and asked for my order right away. He also didn't tell my friend about the condensed milk, but told me, so she didn't get to use it for half of her bingsu.

Overall this place is not extraordinary. Minus 1 star for their excessive plastic and waste and minus another for the taste and customer service but being up to...
