For the longest time, I always thought that Oakobing was the go-to place when it comes to finding good Bingsu (Korean shaved ice dessert) in KTown, but there certainly was a paradigm shift after trying this place out!
Ooyoo is a solid contender for the spot of best bingsu purveyor in KTown, the place is a bit difficult to find but well worth it once you manage to get to it. The seating itself is such a nice touch.

Came for the bingsoo, stayed for the hotteok. Both were good- I wish they told you all the red bean and condensed milk is hidden in the bottom of the bowl. Initially I thought it was just a really plain shaved ice until I got to the good stuff at the bottom! I also wish you could get injeolmi as an add-on to any bingsoo. But seriously, that hotteok may just be the most delicious hotteok I have ever eaten- and I literally grew up with my grandma making me hotteok so that's...
