If you are used to snoball ice this is a little different its very creamy and very reminiscent of ice cream while still having the light texture of shaved ice. It is definitely something you have to experience for yourself. I enjoyed the variety of topping options they had, I was able to get mochi and flan as my toppings while my partner got wafer cookies and oreos. The workers there were nice and patient as we chose our flavors and perused the menu. The store itself is located in a food hall which lends itself to have a variety of seating options. Its a nice entertaining area with a fun projector area playing shows. Great place to hang out overall.

They have a self-serve water station with cups, bowls, and other utensils for you to freely grab. I also love how much seating there is inside. Perfect place to yap away with friends :)) The food does not disappoint. It's very homey and just consistent, which I love. The staff here are so sweet and kind. I wanted to order a porridge and a bingsoo at the same time, but she told me I shouldn't and that she'd have the bingsoo ready for when we finished the warm porridge. I'm so glad I listened because it would've been weird eating hot, steamy porridge and an iced dessert at the same time, especially with the dessert melting. Right when we finished our porridge, I walked over to ask her to prep the bingsoo, but she already had it finished because she noticed we were done eating. So attentive!!! Also, if you're allergic to sesame seeds, I'd advise telling them beforehand. Most of these dishes involve a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top. My friend is allergic and we forgot to tell them, so we tried to spoon them out, but it's hard to get everything.

When we were told that it'd take 15 minutes to wait for the correct dish, we declined. We wanted to eat together. There wasn't an offer to refund it. It would've been fine if the wrong one tasted great. Unfortunately, it wasn't. It was weirdly full of iceberg lettuce. I'm taking away one star for the error. We tried the Matcha Bingsoo for dessert this time. It was pretty good. I'll include the photos of the meals. 3/10/26 I can't believe my family and I hadn't eaten here until now. The entrees were delicious. And, the rice cakes for desserts! The name of the restaurant, "juk," made me think they only make porridge. We're definitely returning.

They walked us to our table and was so accommodating. On an extremely hot day like today (103F) it was refreshing to walk into a nice cool and nicely lit and decorated place. It was very relaxing. The parking was off the street and is free for 2 hours. There were plenty of spots available just at the front of the restaurant. We ordered the Whole Fried Flounder and the Massaman Curry with shrimp and for dessert the Magnolia Creme Crepe. I am partial to good Crepe dessert... and this place offered different selection. A plus! The food was freshly prepared and was very tasty. I would recommend trying this place out. You will not be disappointed.

4 stars for the food 4 stars for the ambiance…read more3 stars for the service on the water refills, which was sporadic at best. Last night I brought a couple of friends over to the Sisters Thai in Alexandria ... because I had had good experiences in the past. We were seated at our table of four, and had to wait 20 mins to be served water from the start. That was unusual - and although the restaurant was busy it was not packed, so the delay was odd. We ordered the food which was great - high recommendations for the branzino, the crispy eggplant, the roti curry and the mango & sticky rice. The water service was challenging; at one point during the meal when a server came to do a refill, she spilled the water on the table near the food dishes - apologized - but didn't clean up! (It was not a few drops - it was a sizeable amount that warranted wiping up since our group had to reach over for the food dishes in the center). She took off after right after spilling it - and didn't come back! So I eventually caught the eye of another sever and asked for the water to be wiped down. The evening went on - the meal really noteworthy ... but water was clearly becoming more and more of an issue - and this was critical especially considering that the roti curry was spicy! After yet another 20 minutes of trying to catch the eye of anyone with a pitcher I had to get up and request water from the bar area. So although the evening was pleasant it was somewhat disruptive with this lack of coordination - which is really is a basic of any establishment. I would go back again for the food - although I'm disappointed that I brought friends along to try the restaurant and the service was not as expected. As I write this I want to add that if it was a one-off with a water delay I would understand - but it was consistently overlooked, without a spillage being wiped promptly that started to create a less than satisfactory experience. Thank you in advance to the Sisters Thai for more training for their staff on enhancing the customer experience.

About a 3.5: I found the Kona Ice truck at Tanger Outlets by the National Harbor. This was one of…read morethe handful of food trucks that were there on the other end of the parking lot (next to H&M). They have several locations (Fredericksburg, Annapolis, St. Mary's, Calvert County, etc.), and they offer shaved ice with different syrup flavorings: Tiger's Blood, Blue Raspberry, Wedding Cake, French Vanilla, Kona Cola, Green Apple, Strawberry, Wild Watermelon, Blue Coconut, Mango, Grape, Cherry, Lemon-Lime, Tropi-Kona, Root Beer, Bubble Gum, Cotton Candy, Orange Creamsicle, Pina Colada, Banana, Pineapple, etc. They have about 4 different cup sizes, and they give you a cup of shaved ice, all nicely shaven, and there's a little syrup 'depot' where you can pour as much syrup to your heart's content! I really liked this concept as sometimes, when you leave it to the vendor to put the flavor syrup in, they don't put too much and you usually only get the tip of the surface to be flavored, but when you get to the bottom, it's just plain ice. I liked how you can control how much you want to flavor it! The guy was very friendly and said that kids love this as well, as they just go out of town by going straight down the syrup depot, pouring each and every single color (no limit!). There's also a 'Sour Shot' that you can make your shaven ice sour, on any of the flavors (free at this location; others is 50c). A nice cool treat if you're in the area! +pump to your heart's desire (flavor syrups, that is)!

Soricha really surprised me with the quality! You can tell they're passionate about their craft, as every item feels thoughtfully prepared. I also loved the cute shelf featuring their personal collection of teacups, which added a nice touch to the space. They also had cute art around. The bingsu is definitely shareable, both of the bingsuus we got were rich in flavor and came with generous toppings. The sparkling coffee, however, wasn't quite as sparkly as I expected The injeolmi latte was a little disappointing because it doesn't come with espresso, which I didn't realize when ordering. I ended up paying an additional $2.20 for espresso. That said, I would recommend adding it because it really helped round out the drink. The server was quick to bring it out after I asked about the lack of coffee. My biggest hesitation is the price. The iced latte came out to around $12 after tax and tip, so I'll probably only come back occasionally. Still, the unique flavor combinations and overall quality might be enough to bring me back for another treat.
