You line up at the kiosks and pick what you'd like. They show the pictures and ingredients under each flavor. I wanted to get the Strawberry Ice Flaks but also got to try out the Mango Pineapple Ice Flakes. It was so delicious, refreshing and super yummy!!! I love that it doesn't taste overly sweet and that we were able to pour how much condensed milk we wanted to throw ontop. It made each bite even more creamier, which was so awesome. We sat down in one of the group tables and hung around for about 30 minutes. There was alot of people coming in and out, which was nice. I think also because it feels pretty hot inside but thank goodness for a very cold and refreshing dessert!!!

They have some self service stands to order which I always enjoy so I can scroll through photos of the options. We decided to get the single servings of Injeolmi, mango melon, and strawberry. Our group of six was split evenly when picking our favorites! Injeolmi: has a milk shaved ice base topped with mochi and topped w roasted soybean powder. This one's really good with a nice nutty flavor without it being overpowering like a classic peanut butter Strawberry: straightforward strawberry base topped w strawberries. The base is creamy and the tartness from the strawberries rounds it all out. Mango melon: mango shaved ice base with melon balls. Lowkey the melons were a little hard to eat for their size and also they were superrr cold so it made it hard to chew but loved the flavor combo All of them come with condensed milk for you to drizzle over and it's nice that it comes separately so you can adjust your sweetness level

There was a small line forming prior to opening. We waited about 20 minutes for our order to be made. We shared the Sunset Beach and added the Snow Cap. Probably best to skip the snow cap. I didn't taste the condensed milk at all. The flavor is delicious. Towards the bottom of the shaved ice, there wasn't anymore flavor though.

The staff were super friendly, and the place was clean, including the restrooms, which is always a plus. The only downside? The service was sloooow. You definitely need some patience if you're eating here. I get it--it was packed and they were super busy--but if you're on a tight schedule, I'd suggest skipping it. Because it was so crowded, it was a bit noisy and chaotic, but overall still a nice spot.

I am so happy I finally had time to stop by Mewame!…read more It's a cozy place with the sweetest staff helping me This evening, I did not get her name but she was very kind and had a great smile! She offered some recommendations since it was my first time and I went with the matcha. You get a pretty good size cup for about $9 and it's the perfect amount for one person. It also helps that it's not too sweet and a sugar overload! I love Korean shaved ice and most places in LA are pretty similar but I feel like Mewame has the advantage with the ice being even more soft and fluffy, practically snow like, where others still remain somewhat icy. And as I mentioned the subtle sweetness is perfect so you don't feel like the cup is too rich or overdone. Simple matcha flavoring with a coconut cream to perfectly balance out! I'm excited to come back and try the chocolate since that was the other flavor recommended by the girl helping me tonight

There's a bingsoo place we LOVED in Dallas called "Wicked Snow" and this is the closest we've had to Wicked Snow. I enjoyed the texture of Anko's bingsoo more than other places I've tried. We got 3 flavors: strawberry mascarpone, mango & hojicha. I usually love anything mango flavored but surprisingly I enjoyed the strawberry one the most! - it tasted very natural/not artificial. I could have eaten the whole thing myself. I still enjoyed the mango as well but this one actually tasted a big more artificial, but the fresh mango was perfectly ripe & added a good amount of sweetness. Hojicha was good too but definitely more "nutty" - still great if you don't want anything fruity! Staff were nice and even tho there was a bit of a wait for the desserts, it didn't take too long for them to come out. We surprisingly got lucky with street parking but they also have valet parking available. Will 100% be back and trying the taiyaki next time!

We had initially wanted to come here for dessert on a Wednesday...but sadly saw that they're closed on Wednesdays! So we snuck it in on Thursday before we left the area. Thankfully not too crowded when we went around 3 pm so we were able to grab some drinks and bingsu quickly while on a short time crunch. My friends got the mango refreshers and the green grape and I ordered a mango bingsu for the table. It came out piled high with delicious, delectable mango chunks with a small side of condensed milk (which to be fair, we did not end up using). The bingsu was sooo good; light, fluffy, sweet without being too sweet and the mango was just perfectly ripe. You know it's legit when they LAYER the bingsu toppings so that there is more in the middle of the dish - experts here 5sure. The drinks were refreshing as well and I really enjoyed the green grape one! Prices are very fair for the quality, consistency, and kind service. The interior is bright, inviting, and simple. Highly recommend this as your dessert/shaved ice spot if you are in the area.

It was a delicious experience (not too sour but enough to give it a nice tang) and I look forward to my next visit.

Shaved ice from Oakobing on a summer night always hits, and this was no exception…read more The mango bingsu was the star of the show, hands down. Fluffy, snow-soft ice piled with real mango cubes and a milk drizzle on top - and even in the single-serving cup size, it was seriously worth it. We also tried the green tea bingsu, topped with matcha powder and mochi, which was solid but the mango stole the spotlight for me. Pro tip: the single size is pretty generous on its own, so unless you're trying to sample a few flavors, one cup does the job. We split two just to try different options and it worked out great for that! Parking along the street was hit or miss, but we went pretty late at night so it wasn't too bad. Sweet, refreshing, and exactly what a summer night calls for - will def be back to try more flavors, like the melon or strawberry!

The product is consistent and perfect every time. Portions are pretty big. Even the single serve can be shared between 2 people. Please look up the menu before arriving. Usually to order you walk in all the way to the kiosk and order from there. If the line is long there's also a QR code on the right side as you enter so you can order from your phone as well. The only thing that's been a consistent issue is there's nowhere to sit. Seating is available inside and there's even a few tables outside but this place is so popular that all the seats are always taken. Be prepared to take your desserts to go. You can walk up to the pick up area and ask for lids.

Parking is pretty difficult, and valet is $5. I can easily see the parking lot getting gridlocked on a busy day. I sampled a few of their gelato flavors, including the jasmine lychee and soy sauce. Both were okay, but I just wasn't in the mood for either of them today. I ended up getting the Pandan Toast to try. The pandan flavor was really good--not too grassy and didn't taste too artificial. The ice cream also had a buttery taste to it. It might have been from the toast, but I'm not too sure. The bread itself wasn't oily, which was nice, but it was kind of dry. The pandan sauce definitely helped make it easier to eat. I probably wouldn't eat the bread by itself though because it was super hard and didn't really have much flavor. I wasn't sure what to expect from the toast, but it wasn't quite what I expected. I originally wanted to try the mango sticky rice flavored shaved ice because it looked really good in the photos, but unfortunately they didn't have it today. I'd come back to try their shaved ice when mango is in season again!

Can't come to SGV without a visit to Salju Desserts. Absolutely the best shaved snow around…read more They're a tiny place, but clean with two seating areas. You can order either at a kiosk or go the the counter to order there. They offer an extensive selection of snow flavors, syrups, and toppings. There's also a variety of other desserts and beverages, but I have never been able to resist the snow. Be aware that the small size is large enough for 2 or 3 people to share, and the medium is bigger still. On the several times I've been here, service has always been both cheerful and speedy. A real pleasure. I live quite a distance away, an hour or more depending on traffic, but plan to return many more times. It's that good.

I usually only write reviews if I think the place deserves 5 stars, but now I will start reviewing…read moreeven when I think the place deserves lower ratings to help out the community of eaters pick the right choice! My friends and I chose Salju Dessert for some nice dessert because the ratings of this location seemed pretty good, but sadly we were disappointed. We chose the milk flavor and pandan. The milk flavor wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special. The pandan on the other hand was very bitter... We thought it may have been the toppings but figured out it was the pandan flavor. My friend described it as a medicine bitter taste, which I could agree on. We made a complaint and the employees happily switched it out for us for another milk flavor (maybe we should've chosen another flavor to try.) Toppings... the toppings were extremely expensive for such a small portion. It was around like $1.49 per topping??? Which is honestly pretty crazy. The toppings are set on the side in those small plastic ketchup containers. 4 Oreo cookies for $1.49, 2-3 buttercups smashed into pieces for $1.49, 1.5 strawberry sliced for $1.49, 1/8 of a banana sliced for $1.49... a container of chocolate syrup $1.49 you can imagine the rest that we added. Those portion sizes and prices are messed up lol The total was $35+ for 2 smalls with additional toppings. Overall, I don't think we will be coming back here for the shaved ice. There's definitely better options out there. The place was pretty busy too, maybe there's other items on the menu worth trying or they got bamboozled by the ratings... but in this economy, the presentation, taste, and price was not worth it and we wish we spent our money elsewhere. I usually take photos to share to friends on snap/ social media, but it was so disappointing I didn't even take any pics to show y'all. Very mid tier. Thank you to the staff who replaced our pandan though!
