Snow Bowl(San Ramon) — Restaurant in San Ramon

I've been going to Snow Bowl when it was MandRo Teahouse and when it was only one store in Fremont so when my friends invited us for shaved ice I was pleasantly surprised it's a new branch in the Tri Valley area.

Note: the portions are huge! (As is traditional of this dessert). I recommend splitting with someone, maybe two people, even for the...

It says Korean Style Bingsu, so I looked forward to it, but it's not Korean style for sure. I ordered green tea Bingsu, but it was good that it wasn't sweet. But Injeolmi Toast was really disappointing. The most uncomfortable part was that the younger boy, who appeared to be the owner's family, was constantly playing the game loudly, and the noise level was so loud that my head hurt, but when I tried to record it, I quit and went in and started another game. I will never visit again and I never...
