me and the boys originally came through this area to the Farrington's bar, but we came to DalDal afterwards. we were surprised to see many ramen / noodle options they have on shelf for u to make i got their dessert, the Injeolmi Croffle: it was delicious, warm and the crushed nuts were nice taste to it the downside was probably the wait, since there was only one staff member, but the inside / outside seating and ambiance were perfect for a wait read more

This place hits sooooo good! If you need a late night sweet tooth fix, be sure to get here for 11:30PM, after that, they clean the machine and won't take anymore Bingsoo orders, but the service is so friendly. The Bingsoo is sooo fluffy and soft, literally looks straight from a food magazine. Bring a date or share between 3-4 friends to help you! read more

We have been three times and it is always a hit. My teen daughter and her friend love it. Lots of ramen choices and their dessert is fantastic. We have had the croffle and bingsoo and both are really good. The favorite flavor bingsoo so far is the strawberry cheesecake. The also give two thumbs up to the matcha. The people working the counter are always kind. The dessert takes a bit to receive, so come with some patience. They likely make it fresh. I wish that there was a place to watch the desserts being made. Such a fun place! read more

This is in the Safeway shopping plaza so plenty of parking and they are open late. We ordered a few bingsoo's to try, berry croffle and later ordered a ramen and strawberry drink. A few things I wish the fruit was layered in the snow so as soon as you finish the fruit or topping all you have left is sweet ice. The mango was a little sour but the neon balls were sweet. I didn't try the croffle or ramen. I was so full. One thing they are next to a bar so the inside was full so our party sat outside on a warm night but the smoke from next door kept lingering over to the tables which is a bit annoying while eating. Later on a few tables opened up so we moved inside. read more

Warning the ice cream portions are huge! You absolutely have to share and I made the mistake of ordering my own, I barely made a dent. However it was yummy, they also offer convenience items like chips and grab and go drinks, but they also have the largest selection on instant ramen I have ever seen. They offer a build your own ramen and of course drinks and shaved ice cream. Its small but room to sit and hang out and enjoy some time with a friend. There was only one person working but we came late in the day and he was nice and was super fast. read more

I've been here for the bing soo three times since the shop opened in late May 2025. It's a unique icy treat that is perfect on a hot day, and the shop is unique for the area. I've tried 3 of their 6 flavors. I personally love the strawberry cheesecake, followed by the melon and Oreo (it pretty much turns into chocolate cereal by the end). I've also sampled the original, which I'd rank the same as the Oreo. The bing soo is perfect for two people (my partner and I have shared one each time). There's a bit of a wait, but when you pick up the icy creation you see why -- the ice is so fine that it takes time to get enough for one order! It's light, refreshing and you don't feel too full by the end (if you're sharing). They also have croffles and fish ice cream, which I may get to after trying all the bing soo flavors ;) They also have a huge stock of instant ramen bowls/packs + hot water machines to cook them, plus toppings (like cilantro, Spam, fish cakes) on the side. There are also juices packs (think a Capri-Sun x2) that you can get individually. Planning to try them when winter rolls around. read more

Finally, bingsu has made it to Pleasant Hill!! Dal Dal mainly serves bingsu, but you can find other sweets if that's not your thing. They also have a ramen bar! How cool - seeing the different instant ramen options and so many heating stations, it was giving NYC mini mart (minus the hot food steamer plates). Located in a large plaza with lots of parking, so you'll never have to waste time circling and looking for a spot. [+ 1 star] - Open until midnight so you can get your dessert fix or snack fix even well after many places in downtown have closed. [+1 star] Lots of options to choose from. Take your pick between Croffles, Taiyaki, many popular and also rare to see instant ramen with lots of options for toppings, the viral 10 yen cheese coin, or something else from their frozen food section. There's 4 heating stations and you can choose how many minutes. If it's not hot enough, nuke it again in the microwave they have in the back! [+1 star] The inside is very bright and well lit with a few tables. Signage is very clear. You know exactly what items they offer and what flavors you can get, whether it be There are tables inside and outside. [+1 star] - Big portions and fair prices. Being first timers, my SO and I ordered the original bingsu to share and my other two friends ordered a mango bingsu to share. We were impressed with how much red bean and how much mango each respective bowl had. The mango was definitely bang for your buck! Huge chunks and very ripe! Red bean was cooked to perfection and not served still hard like other places. I've read some other reviews saying the bingsu (shave ice) itself is not sweet enough. The base is milk!! That is why it's not sweet and also why a small thing of condensed milk is given to you on the side - so that you can add as much sweetness to your liking. To me, my SO, and two other friends, the bingsu itself was authentic in terms of sweetness. The texture of the bingsu was smooth and melts in your mouth. We're excited to come back to try the other flavors. [-1 star] With so many menu options, big portions of bingsu, and just one person working during prime time, it's expected that your order will take a long time. My group arrived at a pretty slow time. Only one party ahead of us who had placed their order. It still took about 15-20 min for both our bingsu orders to come out. Hopefully in the future, more workers will be staffed during peak times. Also, note that this place does not give you tap water even if you ask. There is bottled water and other drinks available for purchase. So bring your own water, if needed! read more

Got a biscoff bingsoo and it was good. The sweetness was just right without adding the additional condensed milk. I would've liked more biscoff flavor throughout the bingsoo and I usually like texture of the ice to be a little softer but overall it was enjoyable. The concept of the store is pretty neat and mimics convenience stores in Korea. You can choose your own instant noodle package and other snacks and drinks and cook it yourself. The store has additional toppings as well. They have a nice selection of instant noodles but personally I would rather make it myself at home for cheaper. They also have ice cream but I didn't try that. The employees were generally nice and the bingsoo came out quickly as there were not many people in the store. Overall, it was good but I'm not sure if I would come back. read more

Walking in worker (male look like from Indian decent) was not welcoming. No greeting. Since this is a build your own ramen bar they should welcome and ask if customers have been there so they can be walked through steps. Ramen is $7 and topping range from $1.50-$2.50. For 2 bowls of ramen adding dumplings, ttboki, boiled egg, and green onion (free). All of that was $20 very expensive but is guess kinda fun to make. I'll stick to making my own instant ramen at home for way cheaper. We got the mango bigsu for $15 mangos tasted like they were frozen and should've been cut in smaller cubed pieces. If I return I'd come back to try a croffle or a different flavor bigsu. read more

Love the concept of this store! They have a lot of ramen options with toppings that you can choose from, drinks, as well as some dessert options like croffles and bingsoo. Came here to try the desserts so I got the bingsoo in the mango flavor. It was a pretty good size and was plenty enough to share between me and my partner. The mangos were huge! I wished they cut it smaller and it seemed like they used those frozen mangos by how big the sizes were. The ice was soft and fluffy. They forgot the condensed milk so we had to ask for it. I also got the Nutella banana croffle which was pretty good. We came around 10pm and there was still a lot of people coming but there's plenty of seating inside and outside! Staff was friendly and helpful. The price isn't tooo bad either. Would definitely come back! read more

I came on a Saturday afternoon and there was plenty of seats available! This place has self serve instant ramen, soft serve, and bingsoo! We opted to get the mango bingsoo. The service was quick and it came out within 10 minutes! The bingsoo came with mango and whipped cream. The ice was nice and fine but the only con was that the mango chunks were HUGE. There was a lot of mango to the point where I had to take it to go! The large pieces made it difficult to eat and it would have been nice if there was also a side of extra condensed milk! Other than that, great place for a quick bingsoo fix , but it wasn't super remarkable! There's free street parking out front :) read more

Finally stopped by and tried a few things. I bought the plain croffle which was delicious. I wish I wasn't full from lunch so I could try one of the other ones. The Vietnamese Coffee Crema was good as well. I am very picky when it comes to coffee so I was relieved that it tasted good. The young lady that helped us was very friendly and the shop was clean and very organized. read more

Cute ambiance, it's styled like a little ramen shop with an ice cream parlor vibe, but buyer beware. The only clearly posted price was $6.95 for ramen, plus toppings. The welcome screen tells you to choose chips, a drink, ramen, and toppings, but it's not clear what's optional. When I went to pay, the cashier asked "No chips?" like I was missing something, so I added chips and drinks. What I thought would be a quick, inexpensive lunch for two ended up costing $39. After paying, and being prompted to leave an 18% tip, I then had to cook the noodles myself, since that's how the restaurant operates. I don't mind cooking my own food, but $39 for two packs of ramen, about 10 pieces of rice cake, two small juices, and chips , with self-service cooking , felt excessive.I should have went to hot pot, better serving sizes. Service was flat and pricing wasn't transparent. Not worth the money. I wouldn't return. read more

Interesting concept! :) Plaza = no issues with parking Seating : indoor and outdoor You can get diy instant ramen, korean pouch drinks, bingsoo, croffle, soft serve taiyakis, and snacks all in one place! They have a lottttt of options to choose from. Grab a bowl, pick your ramen, and start cooking! Once your ramens ready, you can pick your toppings and anything else you want! They don't skimp on the toppings. I was able to share the corn, cheese, and kimchi with my bf. I like that the kimchi is on the sweeter side than sour. I think it would be really good when making kimchi fried rice with it. Desserts are good and were made in a timely manner. I prefer the bingsoo over the croffle. I was pleasantly surprised by the Biscoff bingsoo as I usually prefer fruit ones. I actually liked it more than the mango haha. Presentation was nice. Staff was friendly! Def a cool experience to bring your family and friends to share/try everything! read more

My mom and I visited Daldal on a intensely warm Saturday afternoon. At first, my mom and I were initally thrilled to see and experience a Korean convenience store atmosphere in Pleasant Hill. She ordered a Mango Bingsoo to go. I simply opted for a pouched mango ade with a cup of ice from the convenience store section. Frankly, the ice cup is subpar because the ade does not fill up all the way and the cup is too tall. While there's enough seating inside and outside of the premises, it can get too crowded since the partitions between tables are narrow. The concept seems off since instant ramen and bingsoo are oxymorons in Korean food. They don't co-exist in the same space in South Korea and in Koreatown LA. I must be firm and honest that we were truly displeased with one of your staff's lack of professionalism and customer service skills. While we were unable to obtain their names (since they were not wearing name tags), there were two young women in their late teens/early twenties: one presumably of East Indian descent, while the other appears to be Southeast Asian or Filipino descent. The cashier (of East Indian descent) was slightly better skilled in terms of taking orders and clearly marked my mom's order to go. My mom and I were very displeased with the other staff (of SE Asian/Filipino descent) because she placed my mom's order on a dine-in bowl when my mom said it's for to-go. She irritably said, "oh our orders are only for here." My mom politely responded, "well I cannot stay because I have to go." Your staff complained and irritably said "oh it's gonna melt" and at first refused to solve the situation. The staff appeared to be confused and not willing to solve the mishap. My mom had to suggest to place her order of mango bingsoo on a paper bowl (originally intended for ramen). The mango bingsoo was placed on the ramen paper bowl, but she did not even apologize to my mom. We even had to ask for another paper bowl to serve as a de facto cover. Does Daldal even offer plastic/compostable bowls containers with proper covers? As a former supervisor at a restaurant, I immediately observed that the staff did not provide proper customer service and problem solving skills. This may affect your business' reputation and she and other staff at Daldal must take this as a learning opportunity, to serve customers more professionally and become a more enhanced problem solver. I could've asked to speak with the manager and/or owner on duty at the time, but we had to go. I initially conveyed my crucial feedback via DM, but have not yet received a response. Based on our first experience, my mom and I feel reluctant to return to Daldal. Perhaps, we might give your store another chance once your staff gets retrained with improved customer service and problem solving skills. read more

Both the bingsoo and croffle were both 10/10s! Generous portion that feeds 4 easily. Service was also EXCELLENT! Kind and courteous staff however I'm unsure how or why, but it was incredibly toasty and warm inside the dining area, and even the outdoor tables were quite dirty and sticky. Not sure if air conditioning was down or the DIY ramen space runs really hot but this was the only factor that made DalDal miss out on a 5/5 rating! Still highly recommend and will be back for the desserts! read more

Fun restaurant concept. Daldal can go sweet or savory. You can get dessert such as ice cream or shaved snow (Bingsoo). Or go savory by picking a bag of instant ramen, which then you can add topping and they cook it for you. Definitely a few things I'll be interesting in trying. read more

I hadn't had Bingsoo before, but my friend found out that this place had recently opened. The location is next to a bar and a lot of patrons of the bar like to go outside and smoke, which can be hard because there isn't a ton of seating inside DalDal, and there is a good amount outside. The Fish Waffle Cone ice cream comes with unlimited toppings, but there is not a lot of filling on the inside of the fish waffle. It also is not crispy like you'd typically expect, but it is soft, almost like a pancake texture. They give you a lot of Bingsoo, and I didn't finish mine, partly because it was too sweet and just wasn't anything special. Two out of three of us did not end up finished our Bingsoo. Regardless, we're glad we tried it, but I'm not sure I would need to come back. read more

I really liked this place. It's small, not really all that busy (which I liked), and they had a variety of ramen to choose from. Since I'm a BTS fan, I chose the Jin veggie ramen, and i added other condiments that they sell individually, such as spam, corn, and gyoza. You actually make the ramen yourself at one of the machines. It's a cute spot, and I'll be back soon for more Jin veggie ramen. Also, try the banana milk. So good!!! read more

Very disappointed in this place. It's a cool concept and could have lots of potential. The place was dirty, the trays were all dirty, the tables were all dirty, stacked with trays and empty's containers. They were out of ice so if you wanted a drink it was warm, 3/4 ramen machines were working, the toppings weren't the best. The kimchi was rancid, the cilantro was slimy, the lime was turning brown. The selection of ramen was great and exciting. They were waaaay understand and most likely contributed to the disappointment. Overall, cool concept but won't be back. read more

Cool spot for ramen and dessert. You can choose your ramen and add toppings to it. We came for dessert this time. We got the Oreo croffle, Oreo bingsoo and mango bingsoo. The bingsoo's are huge!! Enough for 2-3 people to share. The croffle was yummy. The croffle was perfectly made. The whipped cream with the Oreos was a perfect pair. The bingsoo's ice was so soft and tasty. Lots of parking outside. Seating and tables outside too. read more

After our nearby dinner, daughter wanted some dessert. This newer spot was next door to our restaurant. There was quite a large crowd inside and outside. It's a self serve ramen shop and Korean dessert place. Pretty fascinating place! Instructions are posted- pick your ramen, pay for it, put it in the instant hot water machine, add your toppings, and that's it. Or you order the fruit or Oreo covered powdery bing soo desserts.

A TikTok-inspired visit that lived up to the hype in some moments. My daughter ordered the ramen, which I wasn't excited about at first, but a bite turned into a small addiction. The ramen setup is cute: you pick your bowl, and a machine dispenses water to cook the noodles. For dessert, we went with the biscoff bingsoo. The shaved ice isn't too sweet, which pairs nicely with the biscoff flavor. They include a tiny cup of condensed milk to drizzle on top, mmmmm delicious, but not enough to satisfy a serious sweet tooth. Bingsoo is large and best shared; next time I'd try the mango option. Worth a revisit if you're curious about the trend. read more

Their riffles were amazing and huge! My sister was a fan of the coffee and we also loved the biscoff bingsu. That have a ramen bar with toppings and korean convience store goodies.

A little slow the 3x I've gone, but love that they are friendly and have generous portions. When there is a crowd, it gets a little hectic, especially if people don't know what they are doing and where to start. This often backs up cleaning tables, emptying trash, or replenishing utensils and supplies. I am sure as they continue to settle, it will get faster and fine tune the process, but glad they are in the neighborhood and will continue to support them. read more

Super cute and fun, interactive store! The owner was the sweetest and gave everyone free soft serve on the house towards closing time. The ube soft serve was amazing, even more so than the bingsoo. Although this is a dessert cafe, I thought that the bingsoo didn't live up to par with other places I've tried. The ice was flavorless (typically the flavor should be somewhat infused without needed condensed milk) and the melons were not very sweet. As for the ramen, you can never go wrong with whatever brand you choose. They had a really wide selection! The only thing is that the shop is so small and crowded, making it hard to navigate the ramen making station. I definitely think they should add more ramen stations because it takes around 3-4 mins to fully cook one packet. I had to microwave it for an additional minute because it didn't cook all the way through. DalDal hits the spot for late night cravings! The service was excellent! It has a cute concept, but it would be better with some adjustments. read more

This is the only instant ramen & dessert bar in the far east bay! For desserts, they have fish waffle ice cream (Taiyaki), croffles, and bingsoo! What is bingsoo? Korean shaved ice made with frozen milk :) They just opened this location, and I'm impressed. It's clean and well lit. There is very limited seating, only 10 seats! I wouldn't take anything party larger than one person unless you're expecting to eat to-go. I came in the afternoon on a fiesta and surprisingly there were only a couple of other people. Although I expect there to be a lot more traction once people find out about this place. They need to get a bell or something because they're in the back typically, but they came it to see me in less than a minute. They also bring your food to you if you order bingsoo. The mango bingsoo was delicious! Not too sweet with a generous amount of large mango chunks.

Went here after seeing a Friend's reel on IG. I thought it was unique that you can make your instant Ramen there, with some of the toppings. You can select your Ramen like a convenience store while also getting pops, Chips, and sweet snacks to go with it. I saw that you can also get Croffles, Bingsu, and those ice cream in a fishy waffle cone. I went ahead and grabbed a Ramen Chicken flavored, spicy with soda, and some Honey twisted chips. I had decided to get a side portion of Kim chi and sweet corn by the toppings bar. After I purchased my Ramen bowl, I went ahead and made my own Bowl with the Steamer in dumped all the contents into my Bowl. I instantly regretted that I put 80% of the Sauce packet in bowl because it was Super fiery , like "hot ones" Bomb hot!! The gals who worked there were super friendly and felt bad I had burnt my taste buds. Good thing I had got a plum sparkling soda to drink. They did offer me some ice cream because they probably felt bad about the battle going on with my tonsils. I will be back to try less than hot Ramen and maybe try the Mango Bingsu for dessert. I'm sure the Mango Bingsu might of extinguished some of the flame Ramen I had tried to finish. read more
