I'm a fan of shaved ice, and Mewame does a unique shaved ice desert. It's all coconut or nut milk based. The flavors are bright and clean and it makes a perfect treat on a warm day.

Wow wow wow! I am so amazed with this shop and can't wait to return to try more flavors! All the desserts are vegan and made-to-order, and the flavors are so unique. After getting recommendations from the cashier, I went with the summer special: Chill Voyage - yuzu coconut spirulina shaved ice. It ended up being super refreshing on the hot day! I loved the presentation with a fork and tray too. It made the overall experience so nice and welcoming. I have no idea how they get ice to be so fluffy! It is amazing, truly an art. I'd love to go back to try more flavors and even a shake. You can park in the Trader Joe's parking structure - 1 hour free parking.

Discovering Korean bingsu (shaved ice) was such a surprise for me, and Mewame completely changed the way I think about desserts. I never imagined ice could be so soft, fluffy, and full of flavor--it literally melts in your mouth. I fell in love after the very first bite. Ever since I found this place, I've been coming here almost every day. My favorite is the chocolate bingsu, but honestly, every flavor I've tried has been amazing. I've had bingsu at a few other places in Koreatown, but Mewame is by far my favorite. The quality, presentation, and taste are on another level. The café is spotless, cozy, and beautifully designed, and I love the location too. 20/10--absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!

Matcha smoothie & honeydew shaved ice cream
Maria D.

Absolute heaven! We ordered a matcha shake and a honeydew shaven ice cream. The matcha quality is seriously the best and the shake texture added a special touch. Def a lot more on the dessert side because of this. We shared one of each. The honeydew was the perfect flavor option for the ice. It's sweetness and freshness complimented well with the cream and the cookie. The texture of the shaved ice was fun as well. Service was very quick. They serve your items on nice wooden plates. I also enjoyed the layout and the table designs. Great size for optimizing room. There were lots of people when we went, but it made the ambiance feel nice. Great spot to come with friends, family, or any large group. Street parking available.

Pistachio and chill voyage
Olivia H.

Have been wanting to try this place for a while and finally got to! I got their two current specials (the chill voyage and the pistachio). They are beautiful desserts and the cafe is so aesthetic. There's seating indoors and outside and street parking or neighborhood parking nearby. Everyone was really friendly too and patient while I decided what to get. For the actual desserts, they are so creamy while also being dairy free! They're light, not too sweet, and the toppings add texture and more flavor making them the perfect treat. The only downside is that they are quite pricey for the size so they're more of a specialty than a regular treat.

Matcha
Cindy C.

We got the matcha bingsoo and it was so good! I liked how strong the matcha flavor was and the softness of the ice. It also wasn't overly sweet. It was a bit hard parking and finding the store. The cashier was so friendly and helpful with recommendations. I would come back to try their other flavors!

Spring Seasonal Flavor: Jasmine Green Tea Shaved Ice
Delilah S.

I parked across the street to visit Trader Joe's and remembered I had been wanting to try Mewame! When I walked in, the space was moody and clean. The staff member was kind and friendly as well as patient when it came to me trying to decide which flavor to try. I chose the Spring Seasonal Flavor which happened to be Jasmine Green Tea and it was incredibly delicious. Sweet, fragrant, and light. It made for a perfect blend that was refreshing and smooth. I thought the texture of the shaved ice was really interesting and melted in a soft serve way. Overall, highly recommend. Absolutely worth a try for vegans and non-dairy people alike.

Starting off, the service was nice and quick. Very aesthetically pleasing interior. Tables were a bit dirty, needed to wipe down but expected at dessert place. As for the dessert itself it was okay. We got the hojicha and jasmine green milk shaved ice. Tbh they were both okay. They had the flavor profile that they weee trying to present, the shaved ice is different texture then what I'm used to having. Idk if I love it but it's not bad; however, I think would much rather have had it in drink form. That being said, I was between a 3 and 4 but mewame is such a tough name I had to give them a 4. Very good interior design too!

Amanda L.

We both ordered their "shaved ice" which comes with coconut whipped cream and a gluten-free cookie on top. Unfortunately, both of the items were underwhelming. There wasn't anything that especially stood out to me. Great service though -- the staff were very kind! Ordered... Houjicha ($9.00 -- special collaboration with Rocky's Matcha) -- rocky's matcha houjicha, madagascar vanilla, oat, and houjicha powder. Strawberry ($8.50) -- strawberry & strawberry powder.

Inside
Maria A.

I can't stop thinking about this coconut cream matcha smoothie, it always hits the spot and is so satisfying and refreshing while not being too sweet. Small little cafe tucked away but it is definitely yummy! Their shaved ice is also delicious! Service fast and friendly and it hasn't gotten too crazy packed.

Came here with a friend for a post meal dessert. Street parking on Santa Monica is tough (and metered!) but there is free street parking on the side street this is located on if you're good to walk a bit. Seating is exclusively indoors and its limited BUT mewame is right next to a small outdoor park where you can take your dessert to-go and eat at! Matcha shaved ice 4.5/5, this was delicious and I would definitely would come again! It's more of a traditionally bitter green tea tasting matcha flavor and the hints of coconut throughout add some sweetness. Each portion is big enough to share for two!

Matcha and jasmine tea
Tiffany M.

So far only tried the matcha flavor but I loved it. Will definitely be back to try other flavors. Service was great! The girl at the front was friendly and our order was done quick. Really loved how the matcha was not very sweet which balanced out well with the sweet cream on top. This spot is small and cute, really enjoyed coming here with friends.

blue yuzu, pistachio (seasonal flavor)
Courtney W.

Quick service! Cute store, limited seating but there are tables outside! Nice staff. Always looks so aesthetically pleasing! This is my new favorite dessert shop. Love the flavors. Street parking available with metered parking. Usually enough spots to park, have never had a hard time here.

I LOVE Korean shaved ice, and Oakabing definitely hits the spot!…read more The shaved ice is so creamy, fluffy, and soft that you don't even have to chew the ice--it practically melts in your mouth. I also love that it's sweet without being overwhelmingly sweet, so you can actually enjoy the flavors without feeling like it's too much. One thing I really appreciate about this place is that they offer smaller versions of each flavor instead of making you commit to the bigger size. It's perfect if you want to try different flavors or just want a little something sweet without ordering a huge bowl. service is honestly nonexistent cus you order from the kiosk and the workers are always behind the curtain. Definitely a great spot for Korean shaved ice, especially if you love that super light and fluffy texture!

The staff seemed very tired and exhausted. Although the bingsu was already a little sweet even without adding extra syrup, I still enjoyed it. However, the music was extremely loud--so loud that I could barely hear the staff when they were speaking. I was actually a little concerned about the hearing of the employees who have to work there for several hours every day. Because the music was so loud, we couldn't comfortably eat in the main dining area, so we moved to a small room in the back. It was quiet there because there was no music, but unfortunately, there were quite a few mosquitoes flying around. We all got bitten by mosquitoes. As for parking, there was a sign that said "Parking at Rear," but the parking area behind the building cost $5. Overall, I enjoyed the bingsu, and the staff was okay, but the extremely loud music, $5 parking and the mosquitoes in the back room made the experience less comfortable. I'm not sure if I would come back again.

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.

Dessert: I absolutely love hojicha, and this was easily one of the strongest hojicha-flavored desserts I've had! The bingsu was soft, and the cream inside was the perfect addition. The portion was also surprisingly generous and packed pretty full, making it more than enough for the four of us to share. Seating: There's plenty of seating inside. Parking: Street parking in the nearby area was pretty difficult, so we ended up using the $5 valet service in the plaza. Convenient, but definitely not my favorite parking situation.

Great spot for a post-meal dessert or hanging out at. I believe there's outlets and wifi as well. Overall, a good experience here and this spot will always remain in my rotation!

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.

We have been to Matsuhisa many times over the years and have always enjoyed it. We primarily go to…read morethe Aspen location now, which is consistently fantastic -- truly a 10/10 experience every time -- so we were excited to come back to the original Matsuhisa on La Cienega. Unfortunately, this visit was incredibly disappointing. We also didn't realize the restaurant had expanded. We were seated in the newer secondary room rather than the main dining room, and honestly, we felt like an afterthought. It was a Tuesday night and the room was practically empty, so there really wasn't an explanation for the lack of service. Our waitress briefly came over to take our drink order, then disappeared. One of my drinks was forgotten, which in itself would not have been a big deal, but then we sat for approximately 18 minutes without anyone returning to take our food order. No one checked on us at all. Eventually, I had to get up and go back to the front desk, where the staff were thankfully very kind and apologetic. I explained that no one had been to our table in 18 minutes and that we were in a hurry. Unfortunately, the food did not make up for the service. We ordered many of the things we normally get: vegetable tempura, albacore, salmon and other sushi, miso soup, chicken skewers, rice, and the creamy spicy shrimp. The creamy spicy shrimp was very good, but much of the rest was surprisingly underwhelming. The miso soup tasted completely different from what we remembered and was incredibly salty. The biggest surprise was the rice. It was overcooked and somehow managed to be mushy and hard at the same time. For a restaurant of this caliber, we honestly could not believe the side of rice was that poorly prepared. We have had so many wonderful experiences with Matsuhisa over the years, which made this visit even more disappointing. Between the lack of service, being seemingly forgotten in the secondary dining room, and several food-quality issues, this simply did not feel like the Matsuhisa experience we know. Unfortunately, we have to give this location two stars and will not be returning. We'll stick with the Aspen location, which continues to be exceptional. We are genuinely sad to say that because we expected so much more from Matsuhisa.
