    Came in tonight after eating dinner and loved it!! I got the mango and tried the strawberry. Both…read morewere sooooooo good!!! Can't wait to go back and try the other ones. You order at the screen and we actually got lucky with a table as it as pretty crowded. I'll be back!

    We visited Oakobing for dessert after dining at Hangari Kalguksu nearby just before for lunch…read more Although it was just down the street, we had to pay again for parking since we weren't allowed to leave the respective lots without paying extra. $5 parking just to grab dessert was a bit of a sting but for LA it's to be expected. The place was somewhat small but wasn't really busy for a Saturday afternoon, and we noticed they had some spacious auxiliary seating areas specifically for Oakobing across the hall. At first glance, the prices seemed sort of high for shaved ice, so we opted for sharing 2 of the smallest personal sizes ($8.5 each). It turns out that this size was plenty. I'm not sure how big the regular bowls are, but I think especially after a meal the personal size is plenty for a satisfying dessert for 2 people. I'm assuming part of the large price difference in sizes comes down to the large amount of fresh fruit that comes on their regular bowls. Still, we very much enjoyed our bowls. The ice is shaved almost impossibly thin, and rather than melting into a pool of water almost turns into a sorbet/ice cream like texture, which is very satisfying to eat. I enjoyed how their condensed milk topping was diluted to form a lighter cream that was more sauce-like than think and drizzle-like. It all lended to making the dessert enjoyably light. I would definitely drop by again, especially if we could avoid the parking costs.

    I waited a whole year for it to be mango season again, and it was worth the wait! Kanomwaan…read morespecializes in Thai flavored gelatos, drinks, custard toasts, and shaved ice. I've had their gelatos before, and they have very unique flavors (unfortunately the candle smoked and salty egg yolk is not my favorite because it only tastes smoky to me, but some people really love it so I think you should try it if you have the chance). We went on a hot Saturday mid-day, and lots of other people had the same idea, so we had to wait a little bit for a table. They give you a beeper so you can come back once a table is ready. This time, we ordered the mango sticky rice shaved ice, and it was so good my husband and I were mind-blown. It's fun to eat because you get multiple components on one tray, and you can continually go between eating the mango sticky rice and the shaved ice with mango gelato, mango chunks, and coconut cream. Every part of it was so yummy and refreshing, it didn't feel too difficult to share and finish between two people. They hide mango chunks inside the middle of the shaved ice too, so it's not solely a bowl of ice when you get to the bottom. I will go back again just for the mango sticky rice shaved ice because it is so unique and delicious, but when mango season is over, they stop selling it.

    Came here after eating a big meal so my party only got a single scoop gelato…read more I got the Thai tea and Earl Grey which was delicious. The earl grey isn't too overpowering but isn't super subtle either. I definitely want to try the shaved ice and toast here so I'll be back. There is a decently size parking lot but it's valet. We got lucky and found street parking a block away. The interior is pretty small so heads up if you plan on eating in.
