Came in tonight after eating dinner and loved it!! I got the mango and tried the strawberry. Both were sooooooo good!!! Can't wait to go back and try the other ones. You order at the screen and we actually got lucky with a table as it as pretty crowded. I'll be back! read more

Oakobing - Mango and the other is strawberry - Shaved Ice Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We came here on Memorial Day, about 15 minutes after they opened for the day and it was already packed! Crazy! We found metered parking directly across from Oakobing and walked over. I think there is parking behind the shops through the alley. I didn't know any specifics since I didn't park there. As we walked in the front doors, I got in line while hubby saved us a table. If you go out the back door, there is another room with more seating. I waited for my turn at the kiosk... you place the order yourself. Be sure to enter your phone number to earn loyalty points. I felt bad for the one lady making all the orders by herself. She was working as quickly as she could! I watched her for a little bit. She changed gloves often, keeping the ingredients separated. It wasn't long before I was taking my order to the table. I ordered two individual size bingsoos. One would have been ample for us to share. Each of them cost $8.50 and I got a side of Mochi for $2.25. This was some of the freshest Mochi topping I've had! Each piece was so super soft, even softer than marshmallows! They came in a condiment container so we could add them as we desired. Hubby's bingsoo was the Mango Melon and mine was the Mango. The shaved ice used was Mango for both. His had melon (Honeydew) balls and mine had mango chunks. This wasn't the best bingsoo I've had, but it was refreshing and made for a nice dessert! I thought I had been here before and I was right! It was Homibing and since my visit in 2017, it has become Oakobing. I'm glad we got to come check it out! The shaved ice menu still looks the same, except for the updated prices! read more

We visited Oakobing for dessert after dining at Hangari Kalguksu nearby just before for lunch. Although it was just down the street, we had to pay again for parking since we weren't allowed to leave the respective lots without paying extra. $5 parking just to grab dessert was a bit of a sting but for LA it's to be expected. The place was somewhat small but wasn't really busy for a Saturday afternoon, and we noticed they had some spacious auxiliary seating areas specifically for Oakobing across the hall. At first glance, the prices seemed sort of high for shaved ice, so we opted for sharing 2 of the smallest personal sizes ($8.5 each). It turns out that this size was plenty. I'm not sure how big the regular bowls are, but I think especially after a meal the personal size is plenty for a satisfying dessert for 2 people. I'm assuming part of the large price difference in sizes comes down to the large amount of fresh fruit that comes on their regular bowls. Still, we very much enjoyed our bowls. The ice is shaved almost impossibly thin, and rather than melting into a pool of water almost turns into a sorbet/ice cream like texture, which is very satisfying to eat. I enjoyed how their condensed milk topping was diluted to form a lighter cream that was more sauce-like than think and drizzle-like. It all lended to making the dessert enjoyably light. I would definitely drop by again, especially if we could avoid the parking costs. read more

I had really high hopes for this place considering it was recommended by a friend and the positive reviews, but we were pretty disappointed. We ordered the mango bingsoo with a side of the melon balls. I like the texture of the snow, but the flavor left much to be desired. It has an artificial mango taste that isn't very pleasant. The mangos were also not fresh... tasted like the frozen mangos you get at the freezer section of the grocery store. I wish it was also in a bowl, since it's pretty messy eating it on the plate. Every time I tried to scoop some snow, some would fall onto the tray since the plate is so small. The melon balls were fine, slightly sweet but not super ripe. I like that you can order through a kiosk and that there's pictures of what you are ordering. The snow came out reasonably quickly considering there was only one person working. The interior has plenty of tables for you to sit down and enjoy your desserts. We parked nearby for lunch and walked over, but parking seems pretty limited/difficult (standard for LA though I guess, lol). read more

Oakobing - Mango bingsoo with side of melon balls - Shaved Ice Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My go to shaved ice dessert spot. Got the matcha one this time, which comes with red bean and mochi. It wasn't too sweet and was really light, which I liked because it doesn't make me feel too guilty having a sweet treat. ive also had the strawberry one and mango melon in the past and it is so refreshing. Parking can be a little rough since it's mainly street parking, but they do have valet in the back. Ordering is super easy since it's all self service kiosks. There's plenty of seating, but it does get really packed at night. Overall, always a solid spot and I'd definitely keep coming back! read more

I went on a Wednesday night around 7:30 and it was relatively empty. It was pretty packed by the time we left though so I would expect a wait if you're going a little later at night. We ordered at the kiosk and got our food super quick. We also got lucky with street parking nearby which was free after 6pm I think Pineapple: 4/5 this is a special flavor that I think is only available in April. I liked it but kinda wished it was a little more sour. Note: I like Oakobing a lot in general bc their bingsu is a creamier than other places but this was $20 so def not something I would get often. It was big enough that my friend and I were pretty full and didn't wanna finish it so it probably is a good amount for 3-4 people read more

Oakobing - pineapple shaved ice - Shaved Ice Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Oakobing is definitely one of my favorite dessert spots in Ktown! I stopped by with some friends on a Saturday night and it was packed. You order at the self service kiosks. I appreciate how they have smaller single bingsu as well as the full sized options. We got the mango melon full sized shaved ice, which comes in a half melon bowl with melon balls - it was so refreshing and perfect for sharing. That said, it does get very crowded on weekend evenings and finding a table was a bit of a challenge. They have indoor as well as limited outdoor tables. Tables weren't really cleaned as frequently, likely as the staff were simply so busy. Parking can be tricky especially on busy weekend evenings. read more

Oakobing - Mango Melon Shaved Ice - Shaved Ice Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Oakobing is such a cute dessert spot, I always stop by when I'm in the area. The bingsoo is super light and fluffy, not overly sweet, and perfect for sharing (even with the single size). We try different flavors every time we go and everything always tastes really fresh, especially the fruit toppings. The cafe itself has a clean, cozy vibe and makes for a nice late-night dessert stop or casual catch-up spot with friends. Service was quick and everyone working there was really friendly. Prices are a little on the higher side, but the portions are pretty generous. Definitely one of the better bingsoo places I've tried in LA! read more

Oakobing is such a refreshing treat and a must have when in LA! Not the typical shaved ice with syrup, their shaved ice is full of flavor (think of melona icecream). And to top it off, they give a small cup of condensed milk to add on and make it creamier. The inside is clean with a good amount of tables even further inside. Order on the self-kiosk then find a seat and wait for them to text you when your order is ready! The service has always been good and love that they have monthly new flavors, but was hoping they would have black sesame regularly. There is a parking structure right across for $5 or you can find street parking. There is limited seating inside/outside so I would recommend having a friend find a table while you order. We tried their strawberry and melon shaved ice and both were delicious. The melon balls were super cute and juicy. Although the last time we went again, the balls were not placed with as much love as the first time (not as aesthetically pleasing) :( but still good! They also provide small sharing cups which is perfect for large groups. 2 large size oakobings were perfect for 6 people. I would def recommend stopping by for a nice treat to cool off to and am excited for more of their flavors.. maybe jackfruit or durian next!! read more

After dinner nearby, three of us stopped by Oakobing for bingsoo. The way they do shaved ice here is really interesting. The take a block of flavored ice and use a machine to shave it into little sheet-like pieces before finishing it with various toppings and drizzles. SINGLE SIZE BINGSU: GREEN TEA While the presentation was beautiful, it was pretty hard to eat. We made a mess on our trays every time we tried to get a spoonful. The green tea flavor was very strong, but the mochi was hard and not the soft, chewy ones I expected. It was fine, but I'd want to try something else next time. The single size was good to share with others if you're not looking to eat too much. Overall, I wasn't as impressed with Oakobing as I had hoped after all the hype I've heard about it. read more

I came with four friends on a Saturday evening for a pre-dinner dessert. It was quite crowded when we arrived, but there was ample seating. The interior was very clean and welcoming. I tried the strawberry shave ice and mango shave ice. They were both delicious and creamy. I personally liked the strawberry shave ice the best as it was sweeter. Overall, I had a great time and will be back for more! read more

Oakobing - Mango Shaved Ice Strawberry Shaved Ice - Shaved Ice Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place is busy but worth it. We were lucky and didn't have to wait in line for too long, but a long line formed after we ordered. You order at the kiosk, which was easy and convenient, and the bingsu came out pretty quickly. We ordered the strawberry and the mango melon bingsu. Both were delicious, but I liked the strawberry one more since it pairs really well with the condensed milk. There's a decent amount of seating inside, but it fills up fast. I do wish the interior was a bit cleaner, the floor was a little dirty with bingsu drips and water spills. They offer parking in a small private garage for $5. read more

Oakobing - Mango Melon Shaved Ice and Strawberry Shaved Ice - Shaved Ice Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've been to many bingsoo places (including Korea, Socal, and Norcal), and this is by far the best one in my opinion! I used to come here every chance I get when visiting LA, and I would order the regular big one to share with another person, and the portions are absolutely HUGE, i would get way too full after... but don't fret! They now have single size portions that are smaller and you can get more flavors to try and share in a bigger group! I got the single sized strawberry and mango, and oh my goodness this was to die for! I love how they use flavored shaved iced instead of the classic milk ice and syrup like other places do. This is what makes them truly stand out. The fruits were huge as well and the shaved ice was sweet and delicious. Make sure to add condensed milk because that is what makes it taste so much better. Also I love that they are open late, but they are pretty busy so it's always hard to get a table read more

Oakobing is my go-to bingsu place in soCal. You can get a small bingsu all for yourself, or a bigger bingsu to share. The latte drinks are also quite good too, and I like the injeolmi one a lot. The ktown location is small but has a decent amount of seating in the main shops, there's also a room in the back of the shop with more seats. read more

Maybe we just happened to order the wrong thing, but I was disappointed by my experience. The mango melon bingsoo is ther signature flavor, so I was determined to try it, served in a melon bowl. This ended up sounding much more exciting than it actually was...all this was was half a melon with mango shaved ice, topped with a few melon balls. The shaved ice itself was a nice, fluffy sorbet texture, but I was underwhelmed by the lack of variety and toppings. Refreshing? Yes. Satisfying? Not quite. Good for those who enjoy fruity frozen flavors. read more

Oakobing - Mango Melon Bingsoo - Shaved Ice Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Oakobing was delightfully delicious! I have had bingsoo previously mainly at Sul and Beans and this place was a pleasant, refreshing surprise. There were a vast amount of flavors that ranged from injeoulmi to mango, but the way it was prepared surprised me the most. I opted for the strawberry bingsoo and it was delicious. The bingsoo was different than Sul and Beans as it didn't feature the milky snow ice with strawberry syrup and fruit. Instead it featured the actual strawberry flavor in the ice with fresh strawberries and condensed milk on the side. It was still delicious and I liked the blend - it almost reminded me of a Class302 shaved ice. The strawberries were also ripe and sweet. Service was great and the self-serve kiosk make ordering a breeze. I would recommend if youre in the area! read more

Oakobing - Strawberry Shaved Ice - Shaved Ice Near Me - Los Angeles, California

After hearing so much about Oakobing, I was finally able to stop by one night after dinner at a nearby Korean BBQ. It was honestly the perfect dessert, because it was light, fresh, and just sweet enough to finish off the night with. I got the special pineapple, it's a mountain of shaved snow and pineapple rounded out in spheres, atop a bowl of a hollowed out half of a pineapple. Great to share for a group of 3-4. The place is small and there isn't a lot of tables, so have your friends save a table while you order via the kiosk. The lines can get pretty long at times as well. read more

Parking is difficult but you can pay $5 and park in a side lot. Basically next door to this location. We love bingsu and this spot is crazy busy. No seats but a table left and we snagged it but it was dirty and floors were sticky. This place was full right up til they said all orders will be to go from then on out as they were closing soon. It is light and love that the melon balls are on top and mango is in the shavings. We would come back for the melon balls again. read more

Oakobing - Mango Melon Shaved Ice. Single Mango Shaved Ice - Shaved Ice Near Me - Los Angeles, California

An accidental find on a random Monday night. I was going to an event and had about two hours to kill. I am a fiend for ice cream, so I got on my trusty yelp to see what was in the area. Oakobing had great reviews and was close by. I got the classic strawberries and cream. Their portions are huge! The service is very friendly. There's seating inside, but it wasn't super busy when we came in. I can see there being no seating on a busy day. The space was clean, the music wasn't too loud, and everything was accessible. Oh my gosh the shaved ice melts in your mouth. I have my eye on the matcha for round two. read more

I've been coming here around ten years and didn't go for a little bit and suddenly had a craving for it. The last time I came was a few years ago and I'm pleasantly surprised to see that the quality has remained consistent, fruit is sweet, portions are still massive and shareable, and prices are still reasonable. $15.99 for a fruit stacked shaved ice that is easily shareable between 4 people is such a steal. The shaved ice is so soft and not too sweet. Glad I stopped back in again, such a nostalgic spot for me! read more

Large serving do $15 each We came on a Saturday after 10pm and it was super busy. We only waited about 10 mins for it to come out. They have additional seatings in the back outside of the store and some seating outside as well. Flavor was good. I got the green tea shaved iced and it was very flavorful. My friends got the Oreo tiramisu and it had an espresso shot included it in as well. I would like to come back again! read more

For a single serve this hits the spot! Feels like drinking a whole cup of matcha tea in the form of snowy ice. Make sure to use the tray cuz it gets messy!! As you dig in the snow the rest may fall all over and it is a mess to clean up if you do not have the tray or tissues under. I did not care for mochi but she gave anyway and I have to say it was a good thing she gave as it added to the flavor with a hint of sweetness. For those who do not like desserts too sweet, this small amount of mochi and milk is all you need. I could barely finish all of this single size dessert. Thank goodness my eyes didn't get too greedy and get the regular size one! read more

We got the Mango Melon Shaved Ice at Oakobing. This thing was huge. Like, legitimately bigger than my face. Portion size alone already makes it worth it. The shaved ice was light, refreshing, and perfect if you want something sweet but not too heavy. Service was fast, even though the place was packed. The staff kept things moving, which I really appreciated. Ambiance-wise, it was definitely crowded, but the space still felt modern and clean, so it didn't feel chaotic or uncomfortable. Overall, great spot if you're craving a refreshing dessert and don't mind a lively atmosphere. Would definitely come back. read more

Oakobing serves some delicious bingsu! They have a few different flavors to choose from. The ice itself is flavored so it's very creamy and flavorful! And they add fresh fruit on top which is a nice touch. They have different sizes to choose from but even the smaller size was kind of big for one person. You can see them shave the ice behind the counter which is fun! The place is very small, especially considering how busy it gets. But service was fairly quick. They do have iPads to order on which makes things easier. read more

you can tell who was the big back from the photos... but by all means we ALL ate GOODD. Green Tea Shaved Ice - if you like matcha Injeolmi Shaved Ice - has smoky nutty flavor with mochi which is great for people who don't like sweetness to be overpowering. It comes with the condensed milk so you can adjust accordingly! Oreo Tiramisu Shaved Ice - If you like coffee, it comes with a side of it in a little container which was cool. Oreos were crunchy and sweet. Strawberry Melon Shaved Ice - if you're a fan of fruit flavored things. The quantity is huge so easily can share with a huge group! My friend hogged it all smh... They were all so good we wanted to each get a different flavor to try it all out. Everyone devoured it. Service was super quick and efficient. Had to use the restroom after but they lost the keys that day which was unfortunate for us lol. Regardless i'd def come back for it again. read more

Mango melon is the way to go. The melon is so sweet and juicy. You can get mochi as an add-on but I don't think it's really necessary. One order is enough for 4-6 people. The bingsoo itself is very good too, but I think it needs a bit more condensed milk. read more

A little dessert place tucked in ktown..one of the best Korean-styled shaved ice places in La! There's plenty of seating in the shop and if you don't see any in the store, there are more in the back! I took my family here from Houston and they loved it! We had 5 ppl and 2 kids, at first I ordering three was overdoing it because the portions were huge! But we actually ate all of it and it was the perfect amount. I have to say... my all time favorite was the strawberry and Injeolmi (sprinkled with red bean, mochi, and Injeolmi powder) -fire! Also I guess it's not that fattening because they advertise that the smaller one is only 265 calories even with the toppings and drizzle. It's already sweet so you don't really need all that. Parking is annoying but there's a little vallet area where the guy charged me $5 bucks to park. It was worth it so you don't have to drive around looking for parking and it's conveniently right next to the shop. Anyway, love this place! You gotta try it! read more

Adorable shop, clean location, DELICIOUS dessert. We stopped here after getting Korean food across the street, and wow! I had no idea what it would taste like! It's almost too pretty to eat! Service was good! Everyone was friendly and they gave me a key to use the bathroom. I got the combination dessert with strawberries and the melon balls. Not too sweet! I was really worried it would be sweet, but it wasn't. I found myself eating more than I thought I would. I found feel like it's missing something to balance out the taste. Like something tart. Perhaps another fruit on the sour side, not sure. But it was delicious! And I'm glad I got to try it! It's apparently been around for a while, but it looks like a brand new shop. They keep up with the place very well! read more

Went in at night on a Friday and I would have to say the store was busy. No lines or anything but there were a pretty good amount of people. I got the Mango bingsoo and it was delicious. The perfect amount of sweetness especially with the condensed milk in the side, i would say it was perfect. I really want to know how they shave their ice because it has a texture of it being dry at first when it touches your tongue, and other bingsoo places don't really get that dryness. Probably my top bingsoo places so far. I live in oc, and i would be willing to drive here to grab a bite! read more

second time trying oakobing, but this time we tried the green tea shaved ice as well as the melon mango shaved ice. wait time was maybe 10 minutes to get our desserts so not bad at all. parking was horrible though, especially since we didn't want to pay $5 extra dollars to park in the tiny garage underneath. but the flavors of both shaved ices were delicioussss!! especially the melon one. it tasted so light yet refreshing and sweet. i dont know how they do it!! inside the place, there's a lot of tables and chairs with extra seating in a little back room which i love! they have a restroom too you just need to grab the key from the front. only issue was that an employee started cleaning something in the establishment with a very strongly scented cleaning product, like clorox bleach or something, it smelled like floor cleaner. that is definitely not a good thing to do when customers are eating. read more

I was craving some shaved ice and decided to try a few flavors the mango melon single, the matcha single, strawberry, and the Oreo tiramisu. You order at the kiosk and wait for your number to be called, but it was a bit slow since there was only one person making everything. I really enjoyed the matcha, and the melon chunks were good too. Overall it was decent, but I don't think it's really for me. Their condensed milk was extremely thin and not sweet at all, which took away from the experience. read more

Been here a few times now and I love their bingsu. They have about 6 flavors to choose from. My favorites are the mango melon and strawberry. Love how light, fluffy, and refreshing they are. Especially on a warm day.. which is quite often in LA even during the "ber" months. Can get really crowded on weekends so try coming during the week for less crowds. There's also limited seating inside. Street parking is tough in this area but they have valet parking for $5 which isn't bad at all. read more

Oakobing - Single Mango Melon Shaved Ice & Single Strawberry Shaved Ice - Shaved Ice Near Me - Los Angeles, California

The shaved ice is delicious and one of the better ones I've tried. It's flaky and each bite is flavorful. Other shaved ice places don't taste great because it feels and tastes just like hard ice dipped in the flavor. At Oakobing, you can tell it's been mixed and incorporated well. Fast service, large portions, friendly staff. You order via two big tablets upfront. The only con is that during evenings and weekends, the place is CROWDED! People take chairs/stools from other tables so their friends can all be in one table. So it's not uncommon for a table to have 6 chairs and another table to have mo chairs. You can also be waiting for a table to pop up for awhile when it's busy. But then it might not have chairs, lol. It can be pretty loud in here too. Honestly the most annoying part of coming here during peak times is not finding a place to sit. But the food and service here is great. read more
