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

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

It's a hybrid of water ice and ice cream, and it's incredibly refreshing. Just proceed with caution though, because it'll give you an instant brain freeze if you eat too much too fast! Here's what we got (all were 5/5): Banana Pudding Joy-Lati -- I should've ordered a large because it was that good. Summer Time All Star The only downside is the street parking. We got lucky and found a spot nearby, but parking can be a challenge.

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.

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

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.

Today, I went to Anko for dessert for the first time in a really long time…read more I used to come here very often a few years ago, but the parking was always difficult (Valet Parking and always super packed) and we usually had to wait quite a while, so I hadn't been back in a long time. After having a family dinner at Gabin Korean BBQ in this shopping center, we decided to stop by Anko for dessert. The owner recognized us right away and warmly greeted My Mom, saying how nice it was to see us again after such a long time. We used to be regulars here, so it was really nice to see her again. I think their taiyaki is the best in LA! They sell them in sets of 4 for $12. My Mom and my 2 brothers got the red bean-filled taiyaki and I got the Nutella and banana one, and it was absolutely delicious. The freshly baked taiyaki was so warm, and the melted chocolate Nutella inside was incredibly sweet and delicious. It was seriously so good! Every time I come here, the staff is always so friendly, and the taiyaki is always amazing. It's definitely one of my favorite dessert spots. This place used to be so popular that there would be a long line just to get taiyaki and bingsoo. There were still quite a lot of people here today, but we were able to order pretty quickly, and our taiyaki came out really fast too, which made me very happy. Back in the day, we would place our order and have to wait quite a while for the taiyaki to be ready. Today was definitely a much better experience!

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!

I tried the wine, mango, matcha, and Dubai choco flavors, and mango was definitely my favorite The ice itself is super soft and silky, and I love that they use homemade fruit purées, which makes the flavors taste so fresh. The presentation is fun, the quality is great, and it's such a perfect treat if you're walking around the mall and want something sweet but refreshing.

Each of their shaved snow is on top of an ICE BOWL and depending which flavor you get the experience gets better and better. Chocolate Dubai Snow - chocolate shaved snow base, drizzled with chocolate, generous sprinkle of pistachios and scooped on top is ball of crunchy knafeh. Must order!

Price point is affordable and easy to share! You must check out this place out. Recommend 10/10!

The atmosphere was very pleasant and upscale, making it a great place for a night out with friends…read more My wife and I went there last night with several other couples, and overall we had a good experience. The staff was friendly, professional, and welcoming throughout the evening. There were some delays in getting a few of the dishes to the table, but the service itself was still good and the servers did their best to take care of us. The food was fresh, high quality, and definitely enjoyable. However, I'm someone who loves fine dining and high-end restaurants, so I tend to be very picky when it comes to reviews. While everything we ordered tasted very good, there wasn't a single dish that really stood out as unique or unforgettable. Nothing made me stop and think, "Wow, I've never had anything like this before." The food was delicious, but not necessarily memorable. The pricing is on the expensive side, but that's also what you would expect for a restaurant of this caliber and location, so I don't consider that a negative. Overall, we had a nice evening, enjoyed the food, and appreciated the service. I would absolutely consider coming back in the future to try more items from the menu. Maybe there are some signature dishes that we missed this time around. If a future visit impresses me a little more, I could definitely see this becoming a 5-star review. For now, it's a solid 4 stars from me.

Matsuhisa was nice overall, but unfortunately nothing particularly memorable for me…read more The quality of the fish was good, and everything was well prepared. For the price point, I was expecting a lot more. The omakase honestly felt closer to what I would expect from a ~$75 experience. Nothing was bad, but there also wasn't a particular dish that surprised me or that I left thinking about afterward. The plating and presentation were ok but for a place in beverly hills with a high rating I think I just expected more. The atmosphere is also much more casual than upscale, which I don't necessarily mind, but paired with the price of the meal, the overall experience didn't feel quite as special as I expected. Service was good and we had a pleasant dinner, but with so many great Japanese and omakase options in LA, I think there are other options.
