    Thai Tea Bingsu
    Cat M.

    i've been here a couple times and have always had a positive experience. i love coming here because it's one of the only late-night dessert spots that does not require going into touristy parts of sf. because of that, parking and long lines have never been an issue the bingsu here is good! sweeter than other places imo but the flavors are good. i also actually did not think the food was that bad either (though i didn't have super high expectations for a dessert spot). i can't speak on their dim sum tho because ive never had. but for a late-night, casual hang out with friends, i love this spot for the location + dessert + food options available if you're hungry. only negative i have to say is the lighting in here is super white and harsh, evidenced by most of the photos posted on here lol

    Dinner for 1 on a Friday. Got in around 6pm and it was quite crowded. Since I was just 1 person, was able to snag a corner table right away. My table was super close to the other table at the corner and I can hear and see what they were doing. I ordered a beef chow fun and it was good. There was just 1 server and she seemed a bit stressed. Someone from the kitchen came to help out and that seemed to help a lot. Quick and easy service. Since I was just one person, didn't really order anything else. Good spot!

    Surprisingly one of the best pepper beef steak rice plates I've had at a bingsu place!! I would recommend NOT doing à la carte; the past few experiences I frequent here it is literally the same portion with more veggies. the tiramisu bingsu.... 100/10! Comes with 3 scoops of ice cream and a whole tiramisu cake slice. Coffee, nutty, creamy goodness!! Overall the desserts stay delicious everytime I'm here; meals could be a hit or miss depending on the kitchen.

    Nice quiet spot on weekdays! haven't been on weekends, I hear it is much busier. Spacious and calming background music. Meet a friend and share some dessert or food. Happy hour menu available on their window (from outside). Not sure if they have printed happy hour menus because it wasn't provided on the table when I sat down. Deals are for bingsu+2 drinks combo $25.99 or rice plate+1 drink combo $16.99. I tried the mongolian beef rice plate, it was good and saucy how i like it Black sesame bingsu came nice presented on wood platter with boba balls and condensed milk appreciate the late night hang option, opens till 11pm! we need more of these kinds of places in the city

    Dropped by this local eatery on a Sunday evening as our second choice since the first one did not work out. A small eatery with Korean and Chinese food as well as a big selection of desserts plus dim sum too. We ordered the following: Popcorn chicken $9.99 (Best Seller) - A little dry but nice with the sauce and had lots of diced garlic. Beef chow fun $18.99 (Best Seller) - Quite a substantial dish and great for sharing. Fried sesame balls x 6 $6.99- This was in the appetizer section which I thought was savory. It came first and was soft and had a lava sesame center. Since it was sweet, we ate it last but did not taste the same as when it came out just fried. I would suggest having this in the dessert section instead. Overall, a decent and convenient place for simple dishes and desserts. A great local place to meet up with friends.

    Bright dessert (they also have dim sum, snack food, and other savory dishes) place on busy West Portal. The restaurant is bright and airy with high ceilings and cute decorations. Opens until 11pm so you can grab a late night dessert. They have Bingsu, 10 different concoctions and also Asian drinks. It was a hot Saturday and we opted to share a Mango Bingsu which comes with large chunks of mango, snowy flaky ice, whipped cream, little mochi cubes on the side, and mango syrup on the side for extra sweetness if desired. One is big enough to be shared by two people. There are other interesting flavors like Tiramisu, Black Sesame and fruity flavors like Strawberry, and Lychee. Decent service.

    Matcha Bingsu
    Anne W.

    We've been super excited to try this spot and finally went few nights ago. Bingsu + heat wave sounds like a great combo and a greater way to cool off! The shop was super packed with customers and they also do to go bingsu orders. Here's my impression on food, services, and vibes Food: out of five. We ordered matcha bingsu with side of fried buns and condense milk. Flavors profile of bingsu is fine and the bingsu is fluffy and light. The fried buns were such a let down though since the dough in the middle was still raw. I wish we got them sooner so we can remedy by asking for a new one. Of note, they do have entrees like beef chow fun there too. The entrees feel more like casual cafe food than serious Chinese restaurant food. The table next to us ordered wonton soup which looks a bit watered down. Services: maybe they're too busy but it was a bit difficult to get the order started. There was a young waiter, Jayden who runs all around the place to take care of customers and handle everything. There's also an older auntie who is the back up but she doesn't seem to quite know which orders go where. We waited at least 20 minutes for the bingsu to come and we waited additional 35 minutes for the fried buns to come. Plus, I noticed that auntie gets overwhelmed and would throw Jayden into the chaos to fix the issues with customers. Maybe they're still too new of a spot to figure out how to streamline things? This will sadly be out of five stars for me Ambiance: It's a casual spot. Cute little space for hangout or casual dates. Wish they turn on ambiance music.

    There are many great places to get Chinese food in San Francisco. In West Portal there are a few places to grab some Chinese food and dessert. There is one place which offers Asain fusion. You will find many different dishes that are Chinese and many desserts which are Korean and Taiwanese.You find anything dishes such from dim sum to wonton soup to appetizers such as honey chicken wings and popcorn chicken. You will also find their popular ice treat Bingsu which comes in Thai Tea , Mango, and Matcha ( Don Juan de la Matcha favorite).This place is located on West Portal street in San Francisco and it is called Snow Bliss. On the last few weeks left of the Winter Stroll in West Portal of San Francisco during the Spring forward hours of March I landed at Snow Bliss. Inside it is feels like a Boba shop with its decor but it is more like a sit down restaurant. I first tried the hot honey chicken wings and it was delicious. It was not too sweet and the chicken was tender. I then tried the mango sago and the texture more like a tapioca and rice pudding with slices of mango. It was a bit savory but very tasty. Finally I got the Honey walnut shrimps which were okay and a bit sweet and had a crunch and had lots of flavor. Overall a good place to get a plate of Chinese food and a savory or sweet ice treat. Go on Winter stroll in a few weeks before the season it will be "gone" they have honey walnut shrimps and not "prawn" it has Bingsu matcha for " Don Juan" and you can even have some fried" wonton" This place is located the middle of the West Portal street block almost easy to "miss" they have tasty desserts you cannot "resist"it should be on your ice treat "list"in SF at the "Snow Bliss"

    Interior
    Deangela S.

    I've been wanting to try this place out cuz my fam loves bingsu. Parking was fairly easy, but possible that we just got lucky. There is street parking, but also a paid parking lot close by. Thankfully, the bingsu did not disappoint and we will be coming back. There is even dim sum and other meal dishes that looked good, so looking forward to trying that too. There are a lot of pictures of what items on the menu look like on the walls and it's great advertising. The interior is small, but you can get a group of 6 if you don't mind huddling together. There was only one server when we came so be patient. The dude is hustling! The lychee bingsu was delicious. It had a lot of actual lychee, a huge dollop of whipped cream and the condensed milk on the side was addicting! Would definitely recommend. We opted for a drink instead of getting another bingsu and let me save you from making our mistake. The taro overload drink was not good. Which deterred me from trying any other drinks.. It tastes just like the tap water with taro powder with a splash of coconut milk.

    Popcorn chicken
    Amia A.

    We visited Snow Bliss after dinner for dessert and had a great time. We ordered the Thai Tea Bingsu, and the ice cream on top was delicious. We also tried the popcorn chicken, walnut prawns, and French fries, all of which were very flavorful. Our server was very friendly, answered all of our questions, and didn't make us feel rushed to leave, which we really appreciated. The interior of the restaurant could use some improvement, but overall we had a good experience.

    Honey walnut prawns
    Janice A.

    Came here for dessert and ended up with some popcorn chicken and honey walnut prawns since dinner was lacking. Service was great. Guy was attentive. Inside has lots of seating and surprisingly we were able to catch parking right out front. Everything we got was good. Definitely would come back again. Especially when the Manila mangoes are in season.

    Lychee Bingsu
    Erik V.

    I recommend the lychee bingsu! The lychee flavor is strong (in a good way) and I like all the toppings in it - real lychee, mochi, and ice cream. The snow was tasty as well - overall I would come back! There was a brief wait (less than 5mins) when I arrived on a Sunday at 8pm. The restaurant is cute and small. The staff were friendly here. It's located in a very convenient location for public transit - the muni station is right in front of it.

    This Korean cafe of savory and sweets menu has Coffee shaved ice with brownie bites and Carmel! Yum!
    Priscilla L.

    Coffee snowflake was quite yummy! Coffee Bingsu $16.99 Finely shaved ice infused with premium coffee, sweetened with condensed milk, topped with chocolate syrup, and Biscoff cookies This was my second trip here. Last time I had the strawberry snowflake with fruit loops topping which sounds weird, but actually gave it good texture. Strawberry Bingsu $16.99 Strawberry shaved ice topped with syrup, condensed milk, and fresh strawberry slices The wait times can be a bit slow as I think it must take time to make this masterpiece. They also serve lunch meals like fried rice or noddles. As they said on their website, "Indulge in a Fusion of Korean Bingsu and Authentic Chinese Cuisine." There is always something for everyone to make them happy, if you to eat something light like potstickers or something heavier like chowmein or fried rice they have that too. I haven't tried their savory items as I am always drawn to the desserts! I have been here twice for the Bingsu. Excellent desserts are yummy in my tummy!

Also, nothing is served with mac salad... The prices are pretty decent for SF. Maybe that's why this place is popular. They are takeout only and have one bench outside for you to eat at if it's free. Tried the garlic shrimp, the moco loco (idk why they swap the words), and the furikake chicken. Also had a spam musubi (when I ordered online for pick up, I couldn't add egg which is usually an option according to the Toast website). The garlic shrimp was missing a flavor that Hawaii has in their garlic shrimp. The color was very red but it was not spicy. They do have an option to make it spicy though. It was bland to me compared to what I'm used to when I visit Hawaii. The moco loco gravy was good, but the beef patty tasted dry and overcooked. They did have a runny egg too but it was oddly underneath the patties, so we broke the eggs while trying to split the beef amongst 3 people. The furikake chicken is probably better if you eat it right away since it's lightly breaded. We took it home so by the time we ate it, it was soggy. The sauce it is cooked in is a little sweet and wasn't too bad. The soggy chicken ruined the texture for me though. Each dish was served with a little bit of cabbage which I liked to get a little greens in the meals. The spam musubi didn't taste like it had any sauce, and they used so much furikake underneath the spam, that it made it taste fishy. Would not recommend. I can't comment on the service much since I ordered online for pickup. The guy who handed me my food after asking my name was nice and polite though. The only reason I'd come back is to try to the shave ice. The group in front of me got 3 for their kids, and it looked tasty. I would not come back for the food, but at least the prices aren't bad for SF standards.

It was nice of them to put out a water cart to keep us hydrated, offer outdoor seating with shade, and a menu to decide which one to order. I ordered the Local Motion with Haupia cream (extra $1.25) and free Li Hing Mui powder. I was expecting more Haupia cream on top since it looked light, but it's okay; I finished the whole original bowl in one sitting since the ice was so fluffy to dig in. Probably should've gotten the Keiki size since I ate alone. I could taste more mango than pineapple, and it goes well with li hing mui powder. You can also customize any three flavors you want with any toppings. They even offer new Spam musubi (not sure why they spell it as "Masubi"), which I don't recommend getting since it's small like an iPod Nano, and the Spam was overcooked or overheated with the rice. The shop was small with Hawaii-imported snacks, cute stickers, keychains, and clothes. I went home with a cute sticker. Overall, I would go back to try more shave ice flavors and toppings as long as I try to go on weekdays to ditch the long lines. It's kind of a drive, but I pray they open more locations near the Tri-Cities area/ South Bay.

I'm always hunting for spots like this because I have a weakness for those over-the-top, Instagram-worthy desserts that look like diabetes in a dish. Like most places in this genre, A Buttercup is small, modern, and minimalist with limited seating. If you plan to go, aim for off-hours unless you enjoy waiting in line for sugar. The decor is cute and trendy, perfect for photos if that's part of your dessert ritual. As they say, "you eat with your eyes first," and when it comes to presentation, this place definitely gets an A+. The desserts look stunning and set high expectations. Unfortunately, that's where things started to crumble. It's like going to see your favorite artist live. You've watched the videos, memorized the songs, and paid for the experience. But instead of the electric performance you imagined, you get someone lip-syncing and barely connecting with the crowd. That was this place in dessert form. We ordered the Mango Bingsoo on our first visit, and when it arrived, we were surprised by how small the portion was. The guy next to us even looked over and said, "Whatever that is, I'm getting that next time." He shouldn't have. The Bingsoo looked great but was bland, and the "snow" was more chunky ice than soft shave. The Thai Tea Roti was also not what I expected. It came with Thai tea ice cream and sauce alongside a roti that was fried to a crunch. Interesting idea, just not the best execution. The sauce and ice cream needed a stronger Thai tea flavor to balance the crispy roti, and the flavors never quite came together. Overall, A Buttercup nails the aesthetics but misses the flavor. If you're here for the photos, you'll be happy. If you're here for the taste, you'll leave with a full camera roll and an unsatisfied sweet tooth.
