Bingsu bingsu serves Korean shaved ice & dessert, but I honestly think it's more of a fusion take than the traditional. The signature bibim bingsu was tasty but quite busy for it to be a traditional bingsu. A traditional bingsu is more like shaved ice, red bean, fruits (mainly strawberry/kiwi), mochi, and a scoop of ice cream. With the addition of the brown sugar and grass jelly, it tasted like a whole different dessert. Don't get me wrong, it was very good, but just a little deceiving with the "signature bingsu" title. I would still come here to eat it again, though! read more

Craved sweets after lunch and saw this spot. The decor looked cute and so did the photo of the soft serve ice cream, so I tried it out. A very disappointing soft serve--if you can even call it that. The texture is not creamy whatsoever. It didn't seem like it was made with cream at all, probably low fat milk because my lactose intolerance kicked into overdrive. So my lactose intolerant friends, STAY AWAY! read more

expected Sul bean quality and taste that's located in ktown LA but I guess my expectation was just too high... we ordered the signature bingsu at Bingsu Bingsu...but wished they used fresh fruits instead of canned good...and their portion is much smaller than their pic ..perhaps the price should be set up a bit lower instead. read more

The bingsu and taiyaki were delicious! I got a small mango strawberry bingsu and the mozzarella and custard taiyaki. The fruits on the bingsu tasted pretty fresh and sweet which was nice with the slightly sweet ice. The presentation is a lot better too since the last time I came. The taiyaki is still nice and crunchy on the outside and chewy in the inside. Definitely great to visit if you're craving something cold. read more

I was looking forward to the opening of bingsu and definitely wasn't disappointed! The presentation of the dessert is beautiful and clean and the dessert was so light and refreshing!! The fruit purée and fruit toppings were very fresh. The ice was soft, and the side toppings (almonds, mochi, and lightly sweet milk) were ideal. We shared 1 bingsu for 2 and we felt it was perfect without feeling full. Looking forward to returning to try more flavors and continue eating more!! read more

I'm a pretty big fan of bingsu or shaved ice in terms of dessert. I've been here twice now and both times were great. Definitely keep in mind in terms of portion size, one will totally fill up 2-3 people in terms of dessert so plan accordingly. We got the matcha red bean bingsu and the mango bingsu; both were good. They have the condensed milk containers on the side as well for sweet tooths out there who want to drizzle it on top of their bingsu. The sweetness wasn't overwhelming and the texture of the bingsu was great and not as icy as other bingsu places that I've tried. Service was relatively quick and we got our bingsu within 5 minutes of our order time, but that could be because the place was relatively slow during the time we visited. Definitely a nice place and environment to catch up with a friend or just share a dessert with someone. The taiyakis were great too! read more

FOOD: My goodness, spending $17 total for 7 taiyaki was a rip off. - We tried the Custard taiyaki x5 ($12) and Sweet corn taiyaki x2 ($5); OVERPRICED for bad taiyaki. I did not try the bingsu so I cannot speak on that, but the taiyaki was so tiny with absolutely no filling. My family member could not even tell what flavor the custard taiyaki was and thought they were just eating the chewy batter. When I cut open the sweet corn flavor, I kid you not, each half of the taiyaki only had one corn kernel... - We ordered it for togo and they don't even have a togo box available for the taiyaki, it's just put in a small round container so it's misshapen when you get home. SERVICE/AMBIANCE: New store, so it's clean, and there is ample seating available. We came on a Friday afternoon around 4 PM and although there weren't many people, it took almost 20 minutes to get our order. I was a bit confused because multiple people who ordered taiyaki after us received their orders before we did. OVERALL: I would never come here again. It is EXTREMELY OVERPRICED for what it is. Originally, I wanted to come back and try the bingsu, but I am so put off by the taiyaki that I will go somewhere else to get bingsu. read more

Try at your own expense bc it will definitely be love at first bite. Earlier today, my friend and I shared the strawberry mango bingsu and it was definitely a tasty treat. The ice is super soft and the fruits were just the right sweetness. The condensed milk is self-serve at no extra charge, which is such a perk! Every so often, we found ourselves swirling the milk atop our bingsu--delicious! Hours later, I'm back for the taiyaki and happy to say that this too is an awesome dessert. The taiyaki itself is crisp, not greasy, & hot (not scalding). The jalapeño cheese filling exceeded expectations--chunks of jalapeño strewn throughout for just the right amount of heat and flavor. The Nutella taiyaki anywhere never disappoints, including at this spot. Binsgsu Bingsu is definitely worth a visit, but be forewarned that it's addicting. Super cute space with ample seating and a lovely array of Korean desserts. I'll definitely be back!!! read more

Super yummy! My friend and I came by for a quick snack before dinner and got the strawberry mango flavor with mochi and almond toppings. The portion was definitely worth it and there's condensed milk on the side to add however much you want. I really liked how much fruit was given- they did not skimp at all and the texture of the bingsu absolutely melted in my mouth. It came out super quick and someone even checked up to see if it was to our liking! The interior was also so cute and colorful, with lots of seating. I wish I had the chance to try some of the tteokbokki or taiyaki but will def try some next time along with another flavor! read more

Food - Got a matcha strawberry bingsoo. It was fine, it felt like very cheap bingsoo honestly. The shaved ice is not saturated in the flavors unlike other establishments (they take a squeeze bottle here and drizzle it on). You can find better elsewhere, but this is doable if you want a bingsoo fix. It's definitely cheap quality and on the expensive side though. Service and ambiance - Nice AC. Cute aesthetic. Small amount of tables. Honestly though, the review is at 2 stars for sanitary reasons. A customer let his small child stand barefoot on the counter where they serve the desserts. The child was standing barefoot, stomping around, and also sat down on the counter (in his shorts and diaper). It was grossly unsanitary. I understand that it's honestly the customer's (the father's) fault for even allowing his son on the food counter. But the workers and the manager didn't say a word, only looked on. Just be aware. It was gross. read more

It was pretty empty when I went, around 7:30pm. My order was taken quickly and the server was very kind. The decor is very cute! I think everything would pop more if it was brighter. I got the strawberry soft serve and oreo soft serve. The soft serves are just vanilla with different toppings, it says it on the menu! The vanilla kind of tasted like it had too much vanilla extract but it was still cute and not too sweet! I also got a taiyaki with custard filling. OMG the breading is so goood! It was crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, and it didn't taste eggy! I didn't really like the custard filling but I want to try the red bean filling next time! The taiyaki took a little long to make, they only have 1 pan, it took around 15 minutes. I'm looking forward to the improvements they will make going forward. read more

The food was good but absolutely terrible service from the owner, Alex. We picked up strawberry bingsu even though we ordered mango and strawberry bingsu. We asked if it was ours and he told us we ordered strawberry. We didn't complain because maybe he didn't hear me. Turns out we were eating another customers order and when we found that out, he blamed us and got hostile for picking up another order, but he had told us it was ours? Why blame us for taking it when you confirmed it was our order?? After that, he tried blaming his own employee for his own wrongdoing.

We never had the chance to visit it when we were in Chinatown, but this location is much more convenient for us. I know my wife and son also like Pork Katsu. I wanted to try the Honey Walnut Shrimp Sando. It was good, with a very distinct sweet flavor. My wife and son didn't care for it, but I enjoyed it. My wife saw some people with katsu plates and ordered the Pork Katsu Plate, and my son got the Chicken Katsu Sando. In our opinion, the Pork Katsu was the best. The white bread for the sando complemented the katsu so well. Next time, I'd like to order the Pork Katsu Plate. We would definitely come back here again! It's a bit pricey, but it was worth every penny.

The desserts were just as impressive, beautifully presented and full of flavor without feeling too heavy. One of the best places for herbal drinks/desserts. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it a great place to hang out with friends or family. Service was friendly and efficient as well. The cashiers were very helpful when placing order and explaining their menu. Definitely a spot I'd come back to often.

Especially the 黑糯米海底椰。 Catering party trays of mochi，chicken wings and 咖喱魚蛋are very nice with good portions. Very good for pot luck. The ladies can sounds not too nice, but I think they just want to be efficient. Very fast service. The dine in area are not large, but still good for smaller party. Great for kids and family. Highly recommend everyone to try their mango mochi.

It had a lot of chicken and it was very tender. It had a lot of peanuts, bell peppers, and onions. It was very flavorful not too greasy! The Mango Pomelo Sago with Silken Tofu was decent. The dessert was refreshing but the mango was quite sour and hard. I loved how the dessert wasn't too sweet and the tofu was very soft. Overall, I thought both items were not bad and it was a good deal!

They like their savory food strictly savory. But this time, I didn't compromise. I went all in on the sweet combo: tteokbokki with honey butter chicken. Truly a match made in heaven. The tteokbokki delivers that perfect balance of heat and sweetness, with the sauce clinging beautifully to each chewy rice cake. Every bite is bold, glossy, and deeply satisfying. The pickled radish on the side adds just the right touch of brightness, cutting through the richness and refreshing your palate between bites. And the honey butter chicken? It arrives hot and audibly crunchy, each piece generously coated in that addictive sweet-savory seasoning. Crispy on the outside, juicy inside, and dangerously easy to keep reaching for. This combo hits every note--spicy, sweet, crunchy, chewy, rich, and refreshing. Easily a five-star experience.

We came around 6pm and it changed for dine in option, a server was available this time to give us menus, take our orders at the table and provided banchan (side dishes) for us as well as water. There was a few other tables with us and the place still looks the same. I also noticed a QR code on the table which we didn't use but may be to help streamline ordering in case a server was too busy. The banchan is refillable upon request which we did ask and it was received! I am super happy to see fishcake, picked radish cubes, kimchi, and stir fried julienne potato. Here is what we got: An order of two boneless fired chicken (bulgogi and onion sauce, $3.50 extra for onion and it was worth it in my opinion!). Onion sauce was a nice creamy mild sauce over the chicken and slightly cooling effect to counter the spicy army stew. The bulgogi sauce was slightly spicy and sweet, since it was slightly spicy to my son, and he didn't want to try the onion one, we asked the server to add in a side of fries my son might not eat the chicken. The army stew spicy level cannot be modified and yes it was a little too spicy for me but I ate it well with chicken and fries. It came with a bowl of rice and fried egg on top. We didn't ask for more rice as there was plenty of food. I did enjoy the cheese covered spam slices, mini sausages, and fish cake in the stew, I didn't eat much of the noodles given how spicy it was. Once we finished eating we asked for a check and a to go box, the server was handling the tables by herself and was very attentive to us so she did a wonderful job. Overall, super happy I came back. We plan to com back to try their pancakes and tofu soup!

Very dissatisfying on the water down Thai tea and Milo taste like your normal chocolate shake, no trace of Milo. Overly priced for two drinks $28 for 24oz Thai tea and 16oz Milo shake. I can get more from Cafe 86 and way better tasting drinks! Next time, maybe do a quality check on your drinks and train your workers better. It looks like a bunch of kids running around and do not look like they know what they're doing.

Sometimes overly sugary to the point where the flavor gets lost. What's more confusing is that the sweetness and strength seem to change depending on the visit. One time it's balanced, the next time it's much sweeter or stronger than expected. The menu was also a little confusing at first. With a name like Tim's Thai Tea, I expected mostly Thai tea drinks, but a lot of the menu is actually Filipino-style desserts. They might be good, but it wasn't what I was expecting when I came for Thai tea. Service can also vary. Some visits are perfectly pleasant, but there have been a couple of times when Tim seemed a bit snippy or short, which made the interaction feel a little uncomfortable. As someone who drinks a lot of tea, I appreciate good flavor balance, so I hope they can dial back the sugar and keep things more consistent. The concept is nice, but it could use a little refinement.

This isn't your average sugar bomb - it's a delightful, cool-down treat that won't send your dentist into a frenzy. It's the "not-so-sweet" sweetness that won my heart! All-natural ingredients? Count me in! It's like Mother Nature herself decided to whip up a chilly masterpiece. Now, on to the Taiyaki! Brace yourselves for a crispy, fish-shaped marvel filled with goodness. Seriously, these guys don't skimp on the stuffing! It's like a treasure chest of deliciousness. One bite, and I was hooked! The staff here are as sweet as the shave ice itself, and they've got service with a smile down to an art form. Friendly faces and great food - what more could you ask for? So, if you're looking to treat your taste buds to a frosty fiesta or dive into some Taiyaki awesomeness, Arcadia is your new go-to spot. I guarantee it's a flavor-packed adventure waiting to happen. Just remember to bring your sense of humor and your appetite - you'll need 'em both! The Place is nice and clean. read more

If you're looking for a delightful and authentic dessert experience in Arcadia, Bingsu Bingsu is the place to be. On my recent visit, I was thoroughly impressed by their offerings, and I'm still daydreaming about the crispy taiyaki and matcha soft serve I indulged in. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by the warm ambiance and friendly staff. It's evident that this spot is dedicated to quality and flavor. The taiyaki was perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and paired wonderfully with the creamy, rich taste of the matcha soft serve. Every bite was a fusion of textures and flavors that left me wanting more. In addition to the fantastic food, the establishment was clean, and the service was prompt. It's clear that Bingsu Bingsu takes pride in what they do, and it shows in every aspect of their operation. read more

Bingsu Bingsu serves up a delightful shaved ice experience that's as pleasing to the eye as it is to the palate. The staff's kindness enhances the visit, making you feel genuinely welcomed. The mango strawberry bingsu hits all the right notes, especially with the bonus of unlimited condensed milk. While the taiyaki is tasty, its smaller size relative to the price and offerings from other shops is noticeable. Despite that, the overall quality and service make it a sweet spot worth returning to. read more
