Even though my rating for their spot in Costa Mesa doesn't necessarily reflect it, of all of the…read moremany places we've discovered so far across our adventures around OC, Heybings is definitely one of my favorites. It may be a little bold to say, as we have eaten so many tasty things thus far, but it's in no small part because I've yet to find a bingsoo spot as good as them in the Bay Area! Not to mention the fact that the warm weather down gives me that much more of a reason (read: excuse) to keep coming back! Compared to the one in Costa Mesa, this Heybings is seems to be a bit smaller and the parking situation here isn't quite as easy (the parking lot has a lower level, but it can still fill up during peak hours). However, for whatever reason, this one feels a bit warmer and brighter (and just as cozy). As for the menu, it has all of the same delicious treats to offer - a terrific collection of their signature bingsoo flavors, including both their classic and seasonal offerings, mochi and liege waffles, coffees, and specialty lattes and drinks. The one thing I don't recall seeing listed that I remember from before is matcha, but I can't say I was looking for it either. -- MELON LIME BREEZE - Honeydew Base, Fresh Melons, Lime Zest, Condensed Milk, and Vanilla Ice Cream This is one of their specialty flavors that they rotate in, but they need to make this one of their regulars because it is SO GOOD! Between the melon base and fruit, plus the lime zest, this tasted so refreshing. Plus, I LOVED the creaminess from the vanilla ice cream. DELICIOUS! -- MANGO PARADISE - Milk Base, Housemade Mango Puree, Fresh Mango, Coconut Flakes, Condensed Milk, and Vanilla Ice Cream Not as amazing as the Melon Lime Breeze, but no less delicious. The taste of mango in this was really strong and, combined with the vanilla ice cream, condensed milk, and coconut flakes, kind of reminded me of Mango Sticky Rice (without the rice). -- MATCHA STRAWBERRY - Matcha Base, Housemade Strawberry Puree, Fresh Strawberries, Condensed Milk, and Matcha Ice Cream You could argue this is a little "basic", but there's a reason why this is a classic sort of combination. The Strawberries and the puree weren't overly sweet and balanced nicely with the taste of the matcha (flavorful with just a slight bit of that earthy flavor). Beyond the bingsoo, the other awesome thing about this place has been the service. While I do think it's a little better at their location in Costa Mesa, the workers have always been friendly and get orders out fairly quickly. Really, the only "knock" is that they don't come around to clear off tales as fast, which can be problematic when seating gets scarce (mostly at nights and on weekends). Of course, it would be nice if customers bussed their own trays/dishes when they're done and brought it to the little window/shelf at the back, but that's not exactly something that can be (nor should be) relied on either. Considering how much I've enjoyed our visits to this location just as much as their spot in Costa Mesa and how I rounded that down from the same FOUR AND A HALF STARS, it seems only fair that I round up for this one. Although, truth be told, I love Heybings so much, I will take them however I can have them, regardless of whichever of their locations I need to go to!

Ordered the Large Mango Paradise ($14.50), Single Strawberry Delight ($8.50), and Single Black Sesame ($8.75). All three were super refreshing and came with a generous amount of toppings. I honestly couldn't pick a favorite because they were all delicious, especially on a warm summer afternoon. The bingsu was light, refreshing, and perfect for sharing. Disposable paper cups and utensils are available by the register for self-service, which is convenient if you're sharing your bingsu. There is parking directly in front of the restaurant shared with the other businesses but it does tend to fill up. Underground parking is also available and is shaded. Overall, another great Heybings experience!

The large is perfect for sharing and definitely seems like a better value for your money in terms of portion size compared to the small size.

Hui Lau Shan -- Mangoes, Brain Freeze & One Bee Awaiting the Hereafter…read more 9/7/26 -- Irvine, CA -- 5/5 After Korean BBQ, we arrived at Hui Lau Shan -- pronounced roughly hoy lo sahn in Cantonese -- already stuffed to the structural limits of the human abdomen. Naturally, this seemed like an appropriate time for dessert. Hui Lau Shan is a Hong Kong-based dessert chain heavily devoted to mango, which is immediately apparent from the display case filled with glossy dessert mannequins identified by little tags like "J3 Pomelo & Mango with Sago." The place knows its constituency. If mango is your religion, this is at minimum a chapel. The Irvine location itself is remarkably unpretentious: cracked, slightly sticky-looking concrete floors, deafening music that sounded approximately 15 years past its cultural sell-by date, and a youthful crowd containing several people whose legs appeared skinnier than my fingers. I felt less like a customer and more like an archaeological specimen temporarily admitted for observation. Being the radical nonconformist that I am, I came to a mango dessert shop and ordered the watermelon with coconut jelly. On a hot Irvine day, it was excellent -- cold, clean, refreshing and just sweet enough. 5/5. The little yellow Hui Lau Shan spoon, complete with cheerful fruit-headed mascot, provided an additional level of emotional support I did not know dessert utensils were capable of. We also had the J3 Pomelo & Mango with Sago, which arrived as mango, pomelo, sago and a scoop of mango ice cream lounging together in a bowl like wealthy relatives at a resort. Also 5/5. Cold enough to initiate a brain freeze, but on this particular evening brain activity had already been reduced considerably by KBBQ, so little was lost. The ordering system is straightforward: your receipt gives you an order number and server name, and the display samples make choosing fairly idiot-resistant. Ours even identified the J3 and the watermelon dessert clearly enough that no graduate degree in tropical fruit studies was required. There was, however, one melancholy resident inside the display case: a small bee apparently trapped behind the plastic among the immaculate fake desserts. Outside, Irvine remained warm and prosperous. Inside, mangoes glistened. The young remained young. The bee contemplated mortality. Los Angeles throws pollution into the atmosphere at rush hour; Hui Lau Shan throws mango into essentially everything else. A very good dessert stop after an irresponsibly large meal. Especially if you love mango, shaved ice, fruit desserts and the mild humiliation of realizing everyone around you appears young enough to be your intern. 5/5. If you are a mango lover, you will probably leave happy. If you are a dying bee trapped behind the dessert display, your evening is developing somewhat differently. 当然。下面是一个更简短、正式、没有幽默成分的中文版本：许留山 Hui Lau Shan -- Irvine, CA 评分：5/5 在韩国烧烤之后，我们来到许留山吃甜品。这家店以芒果类甜品为主，店内展示了多种甜品模型，点餐方式简单直观。我们点了西柚芒果西米和西瓜椰果甜品。西柚芒果西米包含芒果、西柚、西米和芒果冰淇淋，口感清爽，甜度适中，芒果味很突出。西瓜椰果也非常适合炎热天气，冰凉爽口，不会过甜。店内环境现代、休闲，顾客以年轻人为主。服务和出餐流程都很直接，整体体验轻松方便。如果喜欢芒果、西米、椰果和港式水果甜品，许留山是一个很不错的选择。 5/5，值得再来。

Kiyoraka has a chic and modern interior that almost feels like a sleek lounge or bar--except without the drinks. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is definitely a highlight. When it comes to the desserts, though, I wasn't impressed. The presentation is nice, but the shaved ice was too hard and lacked the soft, fluffy texture you'd expect from a place specializing in frosty treats. For example, Sul Bing does a much better job at creating that light, melt-in-your-mouth consistency. The flavors here were just okay, and given the prices, I didn't feel the quality matched the cost. Overall, it's a pretty spot to check out once, but I wouldn't return for the food itself. read more

Finally found the perfect summer fruit spot in Irvine! I bought a box of their peaches and honestly, they are a game-changer. They smell amazing right out of the box, and once they soften up, they are so juicy and sweet--way better than supermarket peaches. I couldn't resist grabbing a DIY fruit cup and a dragon fruit yogurt bowl as well. The yogurt drink is super crisp and refreshing, perfect for this weather. I was sad I missed the shaved ice since it sold out, but I heard they're restocking by the end of the month, so I'll definitely be back for another run! read more

At first I was surprised by the pricing but the servers explained that all the ingredients are organic and the syrups and cremes are all homemade. I guess that justifies it but I was still skeptical until I tried it.... it's DELICIOUS!!!!!!!The flavors are super unique and it's truly not like anything I've EVER had before!

I often find myself questioning how a small bowl of shaved ice with just a hint of flavor can come with such a high price tag. Don't get me wrong--I have visited Sul & Beans multiple times and genuinely believe their offerings are worth the cost. However, while I understand that some people are willing to pay a premium for certain experiences, I consider myself quite frugal and prefer to enjoy food at a more reasonable price. read more

It's just because I don't know what it means to practice financial discernment when it comes to fresh bread. And welllllll, look at who's back at Brio Brio Bakery & Cafe again...... I used to come here way more often back when I had recurring appointments in the area, but these days I rarely ever find myself in South OC. Tonight, however, I had a last minute opportunity fall into my lap when I was invited off the wait list to attend a Yelp Elite event at Onyx Golf. Naturally, I had to make an "unnecessary" bakery detour before moseying my way over to the actual main event. Listen -- you have your priorities and I have mine. We listen and we don't (critically) judge! Upon arriving to my old stomping grounds, I immediately went for my usual: the hojicha Basque cheesecake. Some things don't need to be reinvented. It's still rich and creamy as ever, and it's basically the reason I still come back to this place. Since I don't get down here as often anymore, I figured I'd live life a little more frivolously and grab some items I haven't tried before, such as their prime beef curry, kurobuta miso sausage, honey toast, and a GF brownie. My plan for a sweet treat quickly evolved into a larger commitment of carbohydrates, but honestly, I'd like to think of these items as a gift from past me to future me. Brio Brio is also running a promo right now where you get a free cookie with purchase during certain hours. I just want to be fully transparent that I don't remember what those hours are or how long the promo is running, just that it's a weekday ordeal. I know, incredibly insufferable Yelp Elite reporting on my part. You'll simply just have to go in and ask them about it or look for the signage near the register, and then purchase that item you need to qualify for the deal to begin with. Consider my review a very detailed advertisement about a potentially complimentary cookie that idk how to explain the sourcing means for. Lmao, my bad, y'all. Either way, it was refreshing to visit again after all these years. If you're stopping by Brio Brio, you really need to get the hojicha Basque cheesecake. That's singlehandedly the menu item I'll keep coming back for, even when it means I'll be suffering in rush hour traffic on the drive back home.

When it was finally our turn after several more tables opened up, the customer service was clumsy and very rushed. The waiter, who I'm guessing is new, took our orders very quickly. I ordered some pancakes, he asked if that was all, and I said "yeah, but-" about to add that I'd like to hold onto the menu to order an appetizer. He reached for it, I pulled back, but he pulled it from my hands anyways and left before I could even get a word. I couldn't even flag down another waitress to ask for the menu again because they were so busy and never stopped once to check on us, delivering our food and leaving immediately. The customer service really needs improvement. I understand they need to get through tables fast to open more tables for the wait-list, but at least take a second to check on your current customers instead of coming across as unavailable. We may not come again as we don't want to deal with the waitlist and the messy customer service.

Sometimes you get a pleasant worker and other times you'll get someone who is merely there doing a job and can't even manage to crack a smile. I really can care less though because the ice cream is just so good and makes up for it. They do let you sample. Indoor only has standing tables but if you walk outside the store there are plenty of cute places to sit and enjoy your ice cream within The Lab.

Came to Krisp for a quick breakfast before a meeting in the center…read more I got a breakfast burrito and hot coffee and my husband got a matcha. The breakfast burrito was surprisingly good for a coffee shop. It seemed freshly made with fresh salsa. I was impressed by the flavor and quality. The coffee was good and I got it quickly. Service was speedy and friendly. I do think they could use some help. It was a pretty busy morning and I only saw 2 girls working but they were hustling and getting it done. There is minimal indoor seating and a good amount of outdoor seating right outside and all over the business center. The shop itself is super cute, modern and clean. A great location for people to grab a quick cup of coffee or breakfast.

Friendly staff but food was not good…read more I ordered their chicken croissant. It was clearly not made to order as the tomato was wrinkled and the croissant itself was soggy. Overall tasteless and very bland. Maybe their bowls are better? I don't know, if I'm passing by this place I'll give them another try
