So amazing. The shaved ice is so good. I personally recommend the Milky Strawberry shaved ice. The staff are super friendly and are able to help you. The way you order is at the front of the store on 2 iPads. Since these are iPads and you can't order at the counter, it's credit/debit card only. Swipe, chip and tap to pay with your card or a virtual wallet (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay etc.) are accepted. You can have them text/email your receipt, no printed receipt available.Prices for a regular sized shaved ice can range anywhere from $11 to $15 (at the time I'm writing this. The single sizes were $7 I think. You can also have add-ons, like cheesecake, mochi, red bean, etc. Parking may be difficult. There is street parking on S Berendo St and a bit on W 6th St. Although, there are signs guiding you to Oakobing's own shared parking lot. You'll need to be on E 6th St to be able to make a right turn into the alleyway leading to it. There should be signs to guide you, and your first opportunity to turn left with signs is into the parking garage. Other people have said parking is $5 with valet, but apparently valet doesn't get there until 4:30 PM after speaking with the staff, so parking is free until then. I'm docking a star as the parking isn't too great. It's a double parking space situation, with a compact parking space with EV chargers in the front, while a regular size parking spot is behind it. Parking is confusing to find as well. Overall, this place is a must go to if you're in the area, just expect that parking won't be so easy.
The mango honeydew melon bingsu was really good. The melon was really juicy and the ice was flavorful. My picture isn't as pretty since we did takeout but I've seen the dine in pictures from when my friend went before and they make it really aesthetic. The melon ones come in the melon as a bowl. The place is pretty packed so it might be hard to find seating.
Perfect after dinner dessert. Looks beautiful, inventive and not so sweet at all. i like all their shaved ice but I best on for me is the black sesame/red bean. I would have given a 5 star but the guy working at night had a bad attitude. But all in all it was good.
Quality bingsoo, great flavors, big portion and this place will definitely satisfy your cravings on a hot day!We came on a Saturday night, which was probably a bad idea judging how the store was packed all the way through the back. It took about 30 mins of waiting in-line to get to the order kiosk, and then we had to pray that we can find a table to sit down. Luckily, a party left right before we got to the kiosk, and we got our table right away. It didn’t take long for the bingsoo to be ready either. The workers called our names after 5 mins, and it was time to dig in!We got mango melon and strawberry snack size for 3 people. I love both flavors, it wasn’t too sweet for me so I had to pour some condensed milk on top to make it sweeter. My friends, on the other hand, thought it was too sweet without the extra milk syrup. The shaved ice was so refreshing and the perfect dessert to end the night with. We had to clean our own tables before sitting down because nobody had time due to the crazy line, but it was fine. I saw others buy the snack size and just stood outside to eat. Overall, I love the flavors and portions here, and will definitely come back again to try other flavors in their cute snack size cups!
Simply delicious. Make it refreshing or make it decadent. It’s up to you. Can be busy which makes the limited indoor/outdoor seating difficult. It’s definitely worth any inconvenience though. Enjoy!
One of my favorite spots in Koreatown to get good quality bingsoo! The portions are great, the ingredients are fresh, and the interior is modern, but homelike.They have a good variety on the menu, but my favorite is the Mango Melon. Very fresh and sweet Mango shaved snow, with juicy honeydew balls on top! They put it all inside a hollowed melon.Another good one to try is the Oreo Tiramisu, which comes with a slice of cheesecake! The milky shaved snow is so soft and fluffy! The crust of the cheesecake seemed to have injeolmi inside too. Very tasty. They give you a shot of espresso on the side, but I would recommend asking to switch that out for condensed milk instead.
Delicious, well worth the value, with a nice ambiance and nice service. I got the single-serve Strawberry Ice. It was way more tastier than I thought it would be, and definitely shareable. The massive main items could definitely be shared with over 4 people, making it extremely worth it. It came out quick, and service was extremely friendly!
the condensed milk is not as viscous as i thought it’d be. bings i is delicious
If you are feeling sweaty and want to load up your stomach with some goodness, Oakbing might fit the bill. Huge portions and definitely more refreshing than normal Ice Cream!! I can recommend the Green Tea and Injeolmi Shaved Ice!!
Great shaved ice, and with a piece of cheesecake on the side?! Nice! The Croffle was ok. Croissant squished into a waffle. Chewy, but very good!
