You line up at the kiosks and pick what you'd like. They show the pictures and ingredients under each flavor. I wanted to get the Strawberry Ice Flaks but also got to try out the Mango Pineapple Ice Flakes. It was so delicious, refreshing and super yummy!!! I love that it doesn't taste overly sweet and that we were able to pour how much condensed milk we wanted to throw ontop. It made each bite even more creamier, which was so awesome. We sat down in one of the group tables and hung around for about 30 minutes. There was alot of people coming in and out, which was nice. I think also because it feels pretty hot inside but thank goodness for a very cold and refreshing dessert!!!

This place is soooooo good!! Well that's IF YOU love shaved ice. And when I say shaved ice I mean…read moreshaved ice cream.... Cuz that's what this feels like. This is not your normal shaved ice that is like the teeny tiny crushed ice .. this is literally a block of frozen ice cream/sorbet that looks like very very thin sheets that totally melt in your!! Sooooo yummy!!! The place is teeny tiny and there is street parking or a parking lot in the back that is $5 or $5.50 is your use Google pay or apple pay. They also seem to have taken over the back part of the building so that they have a second dining area BUT that area is WARM! So you might find it nice if you are cold BUT if you run warm like me... It's too warm. They also have seating outside which was very nice. The service is kinda whatever as you order from a kiosk and they they call your number and you pick up your order so you don't really have much interaction with the staff. So I can't say much about service. The place was clean which was nice and much appreciated BUT be warned that it might be very very crowded. Overall, I give this a solid 4 stars as the shaved ice was good. The service is weird as you really don't interact the staff at all.

The blueberry matcha alone keeps me coming back…read more I love that they're open from 12 PM-2 AM because it works whether I want to come during the day and get some work done or stop by later just to sit, relax, and hang out for a while. The atmosphere is super chill, and the patio is smoking-friendly, which can be surprisingly hard to find in LA. Another huge plus is the valet being only around $3, especially for Koreatown where parking can be a whole situation. Good drinks, chill atmosphere, late hours, affordable valet, and a place where I don't feel rushed to leave. Definitely becoming one of my K-Town go-tos.

I love it hereeeeee

Came here to try it because I was in the area. If I wasn't intrigued by the Thai gelato, I probably…read morewouldn't have stepped foot in this plaza lol. Parking is pretty difficult, and valet is $5. I can easily see the parking lot getting gridlocked on a busy day. I sampled a few of their gelato flavors, including the jasmine lychee and soy sauce. Both were okay, but I just wasn't in the mood for either of them today. I ended up getting the Pandan Toast to try. The pandan flavor was really good--not too grassy and didn't taste too artificial. The ice cream also had a buttery taste to it. It might have been from the toast, but I'm not too sure. The bread itself wasn't oily, which was nice, but it was kind of dry. The pandan sauce definitely helped make it easier to eat. I probably wouldn't eat the bread by itself though because it was super hard and didn't really have much flavor. I wasn't sure what to expect from the toast, but it wasn't quite what I expected. I originally wanted to try the mango sticky rice flavored shaved ice because it looked really good in the photos, but unfortunately they didn't have it today. I'd come back to try their shaved ice when mango is in season again!

My only wish was that the seating was a lot more comfortable. The chairs on one end are at this awkward height where my knees are directly against the table. This puts me in a strange sitting position where I'm either leaning back why trying to eat or leaning really forward. The chairs are also not quite comfortable and the establishment is extremely echoing. Regardless I do think they have the best Bingsu so I will not be picking to go anywhere else!

I FINALLY found a bingsoo place I like in LA! Actually Anko has been on my list for the longest…read moretime but I think I was just worried about getting disappointed, it took us awhile to visit. There's a bingsoo place we LOVED in Dallas called "Wicked Snow" and this is the closest we've had to Wicked Snow. I enjoyed the texture of Anko's bingsoo more than other places I've tried. We got 3 flavors: strawberry mascarpone, mango & hojicha. I usually love anything mango flavored but surprisingly I enjoyed the strawberry one the most! - it tasted very natural/not artificial. I could have eaten the whole thing myself. I still enjoyed the mango as well but this one actually tasted a big more artificial, but the fresh mango was perfectly ripe & added a good amount of sweetness. Hojicha was good too but definitely more "nutty" - still great if you don't want anything fruity! Staff were nice and even tho there was a bit of a wait for the desserts, it didn't take too long for them to come out. We surprisingly got lucky with street parking but they also have valet parking available. Will 100% be back and trying the taiyaki next time!

At least when I went, depends who is working in the back? Perfectly ripened fruit ... how can they achieve this consistently for everyone that comes in? Unreal I generally don't eat anything with condensed milk but the sweetness level was just right for someone who prefers less sweet desserts.

At 8:00 p.m., the store was quite crowded so it took close to 20 minutes for us to get our items. Of the two items, I definitely liked the black sesame injeolmi toast a lot more. The toast had warm, chewy mochi melted on the inside as well as peanut butter. I really appreciate that the toast was not too sweet. The mango bingsoo on the other hand was far too sweet for my liking, even with the condensed milk on the side. The mango chunks seemed to have an artificial level of sweetness. I would definitely order the toast again, but not the bingsoo for this reason. Sul & Beans is clearly a popular spot for bingsoo, but in my opinion, you should come here for the dessert toasts.

I didn't mind the strawberry version but my friends don't really like it as much. the coating almost takes like lihing strawberry. it's also $8.50 each! all in all, it's a nice hangout spot but some beverages and snacks are hit or miss!
