Snowbing Korean Shaved Ice — Restaurant in Eden Prairie

I had tried posting this review 2/22/2023, but not sure what I did wrong for it to not be public.

Short review- The staff are always friendly. All 9 flavors I’ve had so far have been delicious and I can’t wait to keep bringing friends to try Snowbing for their first time! FYI: If you get Snowbing and Cruncheese at the same time you’ll need to pay from two separate registers. They’re right next to each other, so it’s no hassle!

TLDR- I was so excited for Minnesota’s one and only Korean bingsu place to open! For those who don’t know, bingsu (빙수) is a milk based shaved ice dessert. Many people might have ice shavers to make their own, but it hits different when it’s made with the milk base. Even though I live about 30 minutes away I’ve been almost 10 times. Snowbing has 10 flavors: Traditional Red Bean, injeolmi, strawberry, green tea red bean, chocolate, oreo, mango, watermelon, yogurt berry, and strawberry cheesecake. Checkout the photos included!

Flavors: The last time I went I finally tried the chocolate one, which I had been holding out on because I was worried it’d be overpoweringly sweet. It wasn’t! I would order it again in a heartbeat. I’ve gone with friends who’ve been worried about trying the yogurt berry because they didn’t want more dairy with the yogurt, but the yogurt is (in my opinion) mainly just drizzled on top for looks. We didn’t think it was too yogurty and really loved this bingsu because of the 3 fruits in it. I have yet to try the strawberry cheesecake before I’ve had them all, but can’t wait to check it off my list.

Pro tip: Eat the bingsu first, theeen get your cruncheese. If you eat the cruncheese first, there won’t be enough space for you to enjoy the bingsu! When I went my first time I was with 3 other friends. We got our own cruncheese then shared 2 different bingsus. I can eat my own bingsu bowl by myself as long as I eat that before any other food.

Hope you enjoy as much...

This is probably something I only have a handful of times in my life, but I was happy with the different tastes and textures. Snowbing is tucked into the Asia Mall with a bunch of other restaurants and even a grocery store that looked like it had a variety of Asian snacks. I ordered the mango bingsu, and I thought it was expensive until I saw how big it was. This could've been shared among two people easily!

Most of the mango was ripe and they don't skip on the toppings. The shaved ice was soft, had a slight sweetness to it, and a nice milky consistency once it started to melt. The shaved ice only really started to melt towards the end though since it was taking me some time to eat it all. I lucked out and got some seating, but it was pretty packed while ordering and as more people filtered in too. Regardless, it was nice to have something to cool me down...

We are so excited for Korean shaved ice or bingsoo - and it's finally here!🤗🍨 There are many flavors to choose from and they are a generous size... shareable if you choose to... or not! I enjoy all the fresh fruit that we've tried - mango, strawberry, and watermelon. There are also more traditional flavors with the pat 'sweet red bean' and injeolmi 'sweet rice cake' which I love as they are delicious, yet not overly sweet. There are also oreo and strawberry cheesecake which have gotten rave reviews from my friends. I know these are not all the flavors but I highly recommend that you check it out with friends... then you can try...
