Both things we got were yummy! The shokupan toast was soooo good. If youve had the one at hard wok, this one is way better. It's so buttery, and all the toast pieces are toasted to perfection. Went great with the black sesame topping. The bingsu we got was pretty good as well, but I wish the mango was softer and sweeter. I suppose it's not mango season (or maybe hui lau shan takes all the best ones lol). The coconut sticky rice was so good, I couldn't stop eating it. read more

I used to love this place years ago. I decided to come back for nastolgia and I don't know if the owners changed but they should've taken the company name with them because this place is not the same at all. Let me say I went through my emo phase years back and I liked certain songs but even back then I would think this was weird: I dont think Hollywood Undead singing about unaliving themselves and the different ways they'd do it is an appropriate song to play in an icecream shop... It felt so weird. All the songs were the grunge emo type, which I get is someone's personal taste, but you'd think the owners would monitor what is being played. The atmosphere is so different. The price is insane for what the product is. I got the mango sticky rice and before they would put a cute thai tea bear or something on top, with a lot of rice. Now its this tiny little sample size cup of rice, nothing cute about the food, so overpriced. I get why they almost never have people there anymore. I don't know what happened but the brand took a major hit. read more

I was expecting more of a shave ice. Bingsoo is more an ice scramble as the Filipinos call it. It was very sweet. For a 16oz cup it cost $12. It melted really fast. Well at least now I know what this place has to offer. read more

The greenery is so unique and air felt so clean at this cafe. I wasn't a fan of the bingsu being in a cup vs bowl.. it was so difficult to eat and sort of an inconvenience. My daughter really wanted the bear which was $1.50 to add. Like really? Just tasted like ice. We ordered the mango cheesecake bingsu. It was just okay.. expensive. This place is just a one and done for me. read more

Cute dessert cafe with Asian flavors and an endless option of drinks. If you're looking for a sweet treat, this is a good place to stop by, but it falls a bit short in terms of quality and vibe. In other words, it feels like a paradise for kids but just ok for adults. They also have some bakery items and sell an array of plants. read more

Kakigori Dessert Cafe is located in the Parkway Square Shopping Center in the Southcenter area of Tukwila. This shopping center gets busy, so you might need to park further away from the cafe. However, there is plenty of parking in this lot. The cafe itself is cool. They have plants for sale inside, which I wasn't expecting! I didn't walk through the whole cafe. I just stayed up front by the cash register waiting for my order to be ready. I've been to Kakigori Dessert Cafe once before in their Capitol Hill location in Seattle. So, this is my first time at the Southcenter location. I ordered the Mango Sticky Rice Croffle to-go and my total came out to be $14.33 after tax. It was very HOT, especially the sticky rice part. It was good, but I don't think this combination was ideal. I will return to try other desserts soon! read more

We ordered the Mango Sticky Rice Bingsu and the Japanese Mochi Bingsu. Both were really good. They are not super sweet which is good for me. The mochi was warm and chewy, reminded me of the dessert I had in Japan. They are kinda pricey at $13.50 each. But it's worth a try, since we don't have anything like that in LA, yet. read more

The mango cheesecake bingsu we got was really good! There was lots of mango and the cheesecake bits on the bottom were delicious. The pandan lava croffle was okay, it was really sweet and it personally wasn't my favorite. However, I am curious to try their Thai Tea Lava croffle cake next time as well as their mini bingsu series, a perfect size for me. The interior was cute, service was quick and the staff was really nice. Would come here again during the Spring or Summer time! read more

I was sad to hear that the Kakigori over at Madison Street closed down, so it was great that we still have one much closer to me down in Tukwila! I went here with a friend after dinner for some dessert after going through some tough, tight shared parking with Bai Tong, Miyabi and Half-Price Books around the same area. There's a few tables inside for seating, a bunch of potted plants to the right when you enter that are purchasable, and a menu in front of the cashier where you can order your stuff. Servers bring the food to you in trays, and I liked how they pointed us in the right direction for utensils and napkins if we needed any. Time-period wise, I went here on a Thursday weeknight. With my pictures, my friend and I most certainly overdid it; we got the mango stick rice bingsu AND the pandan lava toast, both of which were much larger than we thought they'd be! The mango stick rice bingsu was overflowing with very fresh mango both on the top and in the middle of the cup, just separated by shaved ice. It even came with some warm sticky rice on the side as advertised. This would well be your regular mango sticky rice in terms of taste, only that you have ice in it, which is to say that I loved the concept of this one sooooo much! And pandan on toast is a definite yes! There was a lot more red bean paste on it than what I would have liked, but the pandan flavor profile was strong enough that I didn't have to classify it was plain vanilla, and the extra mochi bits added a ton of great texture onto the dessert! The bread definitely helped to serve as a palette cleanser in the end for all the overflowing but much-needed sweetness it had. I pretty much highly recommend this place and would go here if I wanted something sweet in a pinch! They have plenty kinds of desserts or just plain soft serve if you want something more simple. read more

At the price point given and value, the dessert was mediocre. I ordered the small Thai tea bingsu that was also served with warmed up mochi and red bean. My boyfriend also ordered a small bingsu and did not enjoy it. There was barely any flavoring and we got over the dessert really fast. The store is adorable with a bunch of plants for sale. And many other options to try, but after many bingsu this one isn't our favorite. read more

I was in the neighborhood selling back some books at half Price books, when I saw this cute little dessert bar, there was a menu listed outside so I made sure to take photos and make a decision before going in. Upon entering, I noticed there was another separate menu on a small board to the left of the desert counter. I stood for a little bit before I was greeted, and no one seemed particularly welcoming or excited to be there. They all seemed courteous and busy with their own tasks When I went to order the "cheese tea", the cashier had me repeat it a few times as it wasn't familiar to her. Thankfully, I was able to pull up the photo on my phone and order it correctly as the "cheese black tea." I also ordered a taro and red bean croffle, which I learned is a mix between a waffle and a croissant. I absolutely love the flakiness of croissants so I couldn't wait to try it. I ordered everything to-go and waited in the long and narrow hallway on the left side of the cafe that had a beautiful artificial floral wall. While I waited, I was able to peruse some house plants for sale. As a house plant mom myself, I loved that they had this, and it added a sense of relaxation. My order came out promptly within a few minutes, but the croffle was made for here. No biggie, I had a few minutes to spare. So I enjoyed it inside. Although I could see what they meant with the blend of the two desserts, there was no real flakiness to the waffle. I think the batter was a little heavy, and it made the inside a little gummy. Apart from that, it smelled like a yummy donut and tasted like one too. The outside was delightfully crunchy, and I liked that the red bean and taro was not overly sweet. The cheese black tea on the other hand, was a little watery. The cheese foam was not as flavorful as I've had in other places either. Lastly, I think it would be really nice to see them use reusable silverware instead of plastic silverware. I'm sure I would be free to bring my own, but it would be so nice to support a business that was doing their part to be sustainable. Based on my experience today, I don't think I'll be back anytime soon. But others might have a different experience. read more

I went in for soft serve but they didn't have any I ordered the banana matcha though and it was decent, they're a little spendy.

Glad this place is near me because I loooove dessert. I have tried the watermelon bingsu, mayo cheesecake bingsu, strawberry cheesecake waffle, and the mango sticky rice. All are good! None are the best I've ever had but the service is great, food comes out pretty fast (and made to order including each waffle), and the quality is consistent. They also sell plants which is cute. I've had good lucky with the ones I've purchased from here, but you have to be careful. On several occasions I've seen them selling some very sick plants and some that are heavily infested with spider mites. read more

Decent quality desserts at a reasonable price, with a very low-key cafe vibe. What more can you want? I had the ube softserve - the missus ordered a mini watermelon bingsu. They definitely hit the spot - the softserve ($6, +$3 for toppings) is on the bigger end (think full cup size) and the mini bingsu ($11). Service is fast and courteous. We ordered, sat down, and the food came out fast without any issues. Ambiance is a Japanese or Korean pop album? It's hard to hear the lyrics - but it's not English, that is for sure. Missus rates this a 3.5 - too few toppings. I agree with the lack of options for toppings - but also generally the lack of options / variety. It's definitely on the higher end of both price and "value for money" - and freshness / tastiness isn't an issue here. read more

I came here on a Wednesday around 7:30PM and there was no one in the store. Our bingsu was ready within 5 minutes. I had such high expectations for this place but there were so many bugs/flies in the store that I couldn't enjoy my bingsu and had to eat in the car.. Aside from all the bugs, all the desserts here are really cute! The bingsus and some of their drinks come with cute frozen animals on top. I thought the Thai tea bingsu was pretty sweet so I would probably opt for something else next time. Other than the fly situation, the bingsu was pretty mediocre. The store is really cute with all the plants but that's probably causing all the fly's to come in. read more

It's a tiny little cafe and they are just putting together the desserts, not sure how much cooking is involved. When we came they were out of Thai tea and black lava cake. To got the Oreo lava cake, the girls just put a croffle in a waffle iron, put an Oreo, some marshmallow and drizzled it with chocolate sauce. I can put that together myself, why should I visit a restaurant. They serve with the flimsiest plastic cutlery, was very hard to cut the waffle. The food doesn't justify the prices, overhyped.

Very inattentive staff that don't listen to customers when you place orders. This one kid heard us place an order but neglected to actually place the order and ended up wasting time for us. Very low energy staff that sure don't make you feel welcome. When not taking orders, the staff is slouched lazily in the back on their phones. Food is also mediocre and overpriced. The place also has some broken chairs, I almost fell backwards off the chair and hurt myself. Not cool, fix it bro! read more

Mangos are in season, so it was the perfect time to get it. It paired so well with the sticky rice side. The next dish we got to try was the strawberry cheesecake shokupan, which took about 15 mins for them to make. It was light and delicious. read more

Came by with my little cousin yesterday for some cute desserts. Was excited to try the lychee Thai tea . The picture on the menu showed that there is the cute little bear on top of my drink but clearly it did not come with it . My cousin got one of the mini bingsoo and all of the pictures showed that it comes with a cute sugar/ice figurines on top .... But she also did not get one either . Definitely wish they would take it off of their menu if that is not what the real thing looks like. Too be honestly, we came because of the cute little bears . Taste wise , I think the lychee Thai tea was okay . I do taste the Thai tea flavor but there was definitely no lychee flavor at all . The service was okay. They made our drinks and literally just dropped it in front of us and walked away from the counter . My cousin's bingsoo was dripping everywhere. read more

I came here on a Sunday July 7th made it 15 min before they closed and they told me they only had the top dessert's available because they are closing soon and they were cleaning the machine? What is this MC Donalds? That's total bullshit how is a business gonna decline to make what they sell.??? I drove from Burien made it on time and still they denied to make what I wanted. I asked the girl to give me her name, but she didn't want to there's also a girl with pink hair and she also declined.

Got a slice of cake to-go and all the outside layers are covered in fuzz and grime. The container it was put in was very filthy upon inspection :( Bingsu was fine but worse than Snowy Village. Shokupan is a waste of money, tried the pandan option and it was mediocre bread sopping wet with pandan flavored liquid (like LIQUID, hardly thickened). Everything I ordered is something I've tried at other cafes and it was worse here. If my cake wasn't filthy I'd rate this place 3/5 but not go back. read more

YUM SO GOOD!! We got the Thai iced tea bingsu and watermelon bingsu. Both were 10/10 the watermelon was sweet but not too sweet, the real watermelon gave it the natural sweet flavor. The watermelon balls were a perfect touch to the top. The Thai ice tea was very good, a little on the sweet side but perfect amount of ice and Thai ice tea mixture. The bear on top was cute and tasty! We also got the waffle, the Oreo cookies one. We loveee these croffles everywhere so chewy and crispy and yummy! Can't wait to try all the other flavors. Every time we find shrimp chips anywhere we always get them!!! (We forgot to take a picture of them because we ate them so fast) it's a big bag for 7$ I believe. I hear they get them flown in from somewhere once every few weeks, so worth it! The service is a bit slow, when we went it wa donkey 1 girl and we felt bad because she seemed a bit overwhelmed. The ambiance is a whole nother story, the inside theme is plants (which you can also purchase and we did!) it's filled with plants and lights for the plants, it's so cute and a great quiet place to grab boba and take some pictures. Definitely 1 of my fave spots to take people! read more

Was very excited to come and try out this place and their matcha selections, but the cashier seemed to be irritated and annoyed with me and my sister first coming into the cafe. We were nothing but friendly towards her and tried our best to make our interaction quick, we still aren't sure what we did wrong. But her tone, body language, facial expressions, and short replies, made the experience not very enjoyable, we waited for our drinks and left soon after. read more

This place is a hit or miss with customer service and the shaved ice. I've been here 3 times and will share my experience. 1st time - We ordered the thai tea and S.O.C kakigori and it was meh. I could barely taste the thai tea because they drowned it with condensed milk. I know kakigori is supposed to have condensed milk but they put waaayyyy too much. Same case for the S.O.C and the strawberry was too frozen... sadly, since they made it too sweet, we couldn't finish and had to throw it away. Also, I called out for the girl that was working there to get another spoon because a fruit fly got onto my partner's spoon, but she just ignored us. 2nd time- We ordered the mango sticky rice kakigori and it was so good! The mangoes weren't ripe but i think it tasted good still because the sourness paired well with the sweetness of the shaved ice and sticky rice. The two people that were working at the time seemed really nice and welcomed us with a smile. 3rd time- We ordered the same thing as last time, and it was really good still. But we had to wait for a few minutes because there was nobody behind the counter. I was shocked to see that there was only one person working. Customer service was meh cause she didn't even greet us and looked like she didn't wanna be there. read more
