5 stars for the drink! 3 stars for the shaved ice! The drink was super refreshing and I was really surprised how good it was! It was essentially what you'd imagine a mango soda tasting like. Would definitely get it again. The shaved ice on the other hand looked really pretty but there was only really thin layers of mango on top so it looks like a lot but aside from the thin layer of mangos we were left with a lot of shaved ice. Not bad, but have been other places that put more mango.
We tried the injeolmi, matcha, mango, and strawberry bingsoos (all L size) among 9 people for a post-dinner dessert, and it was the perfect amount! There is a good amount of ice, which is the consistency of fluffy powdered snow. It was a little messy to scoop out into the little bowls we asked them for (to share among each individual), but each one was a delicate, yummy flavor.The injeolmi was my favorite to begin with, but kind of loses its flavor toward the end of the main bowl because its flavor is concentrated in the soy powder topping, which gets eaten up real fast. The matcha thus became my all-around favorite for consistent flavor throughout the dish. The mango one is also really yummy if you prefer fruit teas and flavors! :) The only one I kinda regretted buying was the strawberry one because ours didn't have sweet strawberries, so it ended up being really meh... maybe you'd have better luck with your batch?I appreciated the little milk cups they give on the side to add to the desserts, but honestly can't say that they seem to make that much of a difference flavor-wise. Maybe they're just for if you prefer a slushy-er texture rather than the fluffy snow!All in all, this was a nice place for our group to hang out and chill with enjoyable desserts!P.S. their napkins are almost plastic-ky and are really bad at picking up fallen snow and slush messes!
We love this place! Especially for their bingsoo. We are regulars and have tried mango, strawberry, green tea and injeolmi so far but our favorite would have to be mango / the fruit flavors! We appreciate that they give you the condensed milk on the side to adjust the sweetness to your taste and like that it is not overly sweetened with unnatural syrups. Would also recommend their popcorn chicken and boba!
Got the matcha red bean and injoolmi bingsoo togo but as you can see, they look nothing like the pictures lol.... The tastes were also ehhh. Won't come back anymore.
Mango Bingsoo
Friend recommended this place for the bingzoo and was not disappointed. Both the mango and strawberry bingzoo are incredibly delicious and they are fast becoming our guilty pleasure. Service is quick in general and there’s good amount of seating. Casual atmosphere
My sister took me here years ago to try Mango Bingsoo for the first time. I've never looked back. Every time I'm in East Bay, I try to stop by. Their shaved ice isn't just normal ice. It's milky. And their condense milk isn't straight condense milk. It's lighter and makes the dessert sweet but not overwhelmingly so. The staff is also nice and quick to serve and clean.
Awesome shave snow with mochi on top, went on a Tuesday night which was not too busy price is decent and you get a condensed milk on the side. Flavor is good and creamy. Did not try the drinks
It’s the best pingsu
Went to the Davis location way back in like 2014-2015. Cool to see that there is a bay area location now.Tastes just like how I remember the Davis location. Even the interior looks the same. Price per drink is super reasonable compared to all the other places out there.I got the roasted oolong milk tea with boba and 80% sweetness. Wished there was more tea strength and the 80% sweetness was perfect.
