    Strawberry bingsoo large
    Leilani M.

    No one was in the front but there's a sign they're so smart. They said if no one is here that means we're in the back busy making your food so we could just order on the computer. We got a large strawberry bingsoo. It was perfect for me. A four-year-old and a two-year-old refreshing after a fun time at the park. There were enough chairs for a lot of people but at the time we went there it wasn't busy about 830 at night.

    The Bingsoo's are so creamy and the strawberries were super fresh and sweet! I added condensed milk for an extra 0.50 cents and it combines perfectly! The chocolate isn't too strong in taste but it's light and fluffy. There's a lot of seating so it's great.The service is quick since there's a self service kiosk.

    We love Mandro for a tasty bingsu dessert. Mango is our go-to. On a cold Dec bight, nobody in the place. You order at a kiosk, which I hate, take a seat and wait about 5-10 mins. Pickup at the counter. 2 or 3 of us usally split one regular. The shaved ice is so fluffy and smooth. Mango fresh and delish. Add the condensed milk and you have a great dessert. Really not much service, but the peeps are nice.

    We came here after lunch next door at a Thai restaurant and decided to split a matcha red bean bingsoo. You order through the kiosk and the order comes out fairly quickly. We were unable to finish the order after lunch so luckily they had to go container we could use for the leftovers. It was delicious! Would come back.

    It's a little hard to find parking around this location but I was lucky to find something a few steps outside. To order, you can use the self kiosk. I only waited about 15 minutes for three items. I ordered a drink and two shaved ice to go. The serving size is generous! I couldn't even finish one by myself, which is rare. I also ordered the avocado milk. The ingredients are simple but so tasty. There were a lot of avocado bits! Plenty of seating inside. Seems a little dirty, like a sticky texture to everything. I'd come back though!

    We got the large mango bingsoo which comes with a cup of condensed milk. The mangos are very sweet and the bingsoo ice is very fluffy. The ice portion isn't as flavorful, so definitely save some condensed milk for the inside. It would be great if they had mango pieces or something sweet in the middle because the proportion of the ice was too much. Upon entering, you can order from the large screen and they will call your order when it's ready for pick up. There are indoor seating options, which is nice. People seem to stick around to play games.

    I had no idea they have a MandRo Teahouse in Alameda but I'm glad it does. I normally go to the ones in Fremont and Milpitas so I know that people come here for Bingsoo (Korean shaved ice). Although it's using Korean name but I'm fairly certain the owner is actually Chinese. The shaved ice here is extremely fine and as a result super smooth and delicious. I prefer this over the coarse Hawaiian shaved ice. My favorite is the matcha or original flavor but a lot of people seem to order the mango one. This location seems to be much less crowded than the other places and has more seating as well. However parking can be a pain because of limited street parking and its location. You order through the kiosk and just wait for the number to be called.

    I feel like this location can use some fresh paint or something. It feels dingy being in there. We came on a Saturday evening and it seemed like there was only one person working and that person only came out to bring out an order. You place your order on the kiosk. If you have any questions regarding the menu, there is really no one to ask. We came here specifically for bingsu. I usually get the mango, but it was not on the menu. I am assuming it is not in season. The bingsu ice was soft and fluffy as expected.

    If youre cravinf bingsoo then this is def the place to go. When you walk in they have seating and a kiosk where you order, not sure if they take cash since I didnt really see any register behind their counter or anyone working the counter, only workers making your order. It is a bit quiet in there cause there was no music but the vibes were still very casual. Bingsoo was great! Creamy and light and the shaved ice was just perfect to compared to others ive tried where its just too watery. The different flavors portions are portioned good and mixed throughout the ice so its just not on top (for those who never had it before) . They give 1 free side of milk but any extra is $1+ which is a bit on the pricier side.

    I'm a fan of their cat and duck arts along the wall. This place is low-key and cute. I usually just come here for milk tea; I still haven't tried any of their dessert options. My go to right now is heir Okinawa pudding milk tea no sugar no ice. It's already pretty sweet as is. Nothing negative about the staff. I ordered through the kiosks.

    As a former Aggie, Mandro brings back a lot of memories. I used to go to Mandro with my friends all the time in Davis, and I'm glad to see one closer to the Bay! Mandro has the best bingsu and I especially love the mango one since they put a lot of fresh mango on top. This location is a bit small, and while it wasn't too busy, the service was a little slow.

    Green tea shaved ice

    Green tea shaved ice is so good! Next time I will get fruit type because it's fresh fruit I do wish they put more flavor in between the layers of ice but good dessert.

    Cute spot for bingsoo in Alameda! I got a strawberry bingsoo, and really enjoyed it. They have a lot of different flavors including mango, matcha red bean, injeolmi, original red bean milk, and chocolate. I also saw that they offered Taiwanese desserts such as all these taro ball bowls and tofu pudding. I'll have to try those sometime here.

    Can't go wrong with anything at MandRo

The only option is street parking, so finding a good spot can be difficult. It is an extremely popular spot, so I'd advise making your reservation weeks ahead of time. Once you're inside, though, it's a great experience. Though gu the shop is small and the tables a bit crowded together, the atmosphere is lovely. The decor is tastefully quaint, and the space is clean and well-lit. The tea service itself is lovely as well. The full tea service, which runs each person $48, includes your pick from a very large variety of teas and sandwiches, including a couple vegetarian options, though I wouldn't call the overall menu vegetarian-friendly. Each table also comes with a little container of sugar cubes and creamer for their tea. This far, all of the sandwiches and teas that I have tried are very good. Each patron gets their own pot of tea instead of one shared pot for the table, which I love. Each set also comes with a scone with clotted cream and jam, a potato canape, and a selection of small desserts. It was more than enough to satisfy me. I really love that they offer both traditional British flavors as well as unique Malaysian flavors in their menu. The desserts also change from time to time, so every experience can feel a little special and new. It gives this spot a unique feel that I haven't yet found elsewhere. Overall, the experience was very positive and I absolutely do recommend it to anyone who has the time and interest. Though $48 is definitely not cheap on the surface, I feel that the unique menu, quantity of food and drink, and general enjoyability of the experience make the price worth it.

We came here on a Saturday late afternoon and there were a handful of folks here ordering/dining in. It's a small spot with limited seating, so its mostly for takeout imo. We got 2 banh mi: one cold cut combo and another for lemongrass chicken. We also got a smoothie to go. The banh mi's are legit, I would order extra pate next time. Love how the banh mi are super thick with tons of meat, veggies, and good amount of pate. The bread is fresh and the portions are generous. Would love to come back here again and try more items and include extra pate per my friend's suggestion. There are only street parking available here. We had no issues finding one close to the spot on a Saturday afternoon.
