You don't feel like you're eating shaved ice! You feel like you're eating a fluffy cloud! When you walk in, you are greeted by kiosks where you place your order. You don't have much interaction with the staff other than than they calling out your number when your order is ready Only downside is they were playing music way too loud! The store itself had maybe 1-2 other parties inside... but the music was too loud we practically had to yell at each other to MAYBE hear the person right next to us. I definitely was not a fan of that vibe. The dessert itself though was phenomenal

I feel like the large should get a bigger portion but idk maybe that's just me. It also sucks because if you want more of the milk topping you have to pay extra, sooo :/ Otherwise, I loved it and I'll definitely be back to try the other flavors!

Last Sunday, June 21th, after having our Father's Day family dinner at a Korean BBQ restaurant, we…read moreall went to Ooyoo Cafe for dessert. We ordered taiyaki, hotteok, ginger tea, and chamomile tea to share. Unfortunately, the ginger tea was too sweet--it was almost impossible to drink. Ginger tea should have a natural ginger flavor, but the sweetness completely overpowered it. It also seemed like the café might have changed owners because the menu looked a little different. What surprised me the most was how much their tea service had changed. In the past, when you ordered tea, it was served in a glass teapot with matching glass teacups so everyone could share. Now they said they only have paper cups, and each person has to order their own tea separately, similar to how Starbucks serves drinks. That was the most disappointing part of the visit. I went there expecting the same experience as before, but it was completely different, which was quite surprising. I was also disappointed with the outdoor seating. They used to have comfortable cushioned sofas outside, but they've all been replaced with hard metal chairs and tables which made the outdoor seating much less comfortable.

My first time here. There was a short line to order but the place was packed! Luckily a table freed…read moreup after we got our order in. We got the black sesame bingsoo and taro bingsoo. Both came with red bean and mochi. The taro bingsoo also had crispy coconut shavings while the black sesame bingsoo had almond shavings. You also get a side of condensed milk. Both were delicious! I see why it's so popular! So creamy but light and fluffy, my new favorite dessert! They were huge too! Perfect for sharing! A great way to cool down during the warm weather! If I lived closer I would be here all the time! Can't wait to come back to try other flavors!

Good shaved ice & validated parking. (Each store in the Madang mall validates. We got ours…read morevalidated at another store so not sure how many hours this store validates for.) Mango is my favorite. Fresh mangos with flavored shaved ice. The others are good but this time, the mangos were so sweet & the right firmness, giving it good texture. The store got busier as it got later - maybe people came after dinner? There were many tables & we wiped one ourselves. There is a bathroom inside the shaved ice shop. Good place to come with friends to chat over sweets.

This is such a cute and aesthetic dessert shop! The space is bright, modern, and welcoming, making…read moreit a great place to stop for a sweet treat. We ordered the taiyaki and the black sesame anko and both were equally delicious. The taiyaki was soft and pillowy on the inside and lightly crisp on the outside. The black sesame anko was just as impressive. The shaved ice was incredibly fine and fluffy with a creamy, milky texture rather than being chunky or icy. It melted in your mouth, and the black sesame flavor paired perfectly with the sweet red bean. The desserts were not too sweet! Overall, this is an excellent choice if you're craving a little sweet treat.

I had the strawberry bingsu and it was super freshing, light, and not overly sweet like some other places. I also opted in to get the taiyaki. It comes in a set of 4 and I got the custard and nutella/banana. The custard is my absolute favorite. It was super crispy and warm in the inside. Also not overly sweet which i really enjoyed. The only bad thing I can say is that the parking situation is a little difficult but a lot of areas in koreatown are like that. 10/10 would come back

IT WASN'T TOO SWEET!! I loved how it had all the aspects of a mango sticky rice which really completed the dish. I wasnt sure if the rice was supposed to go in but I just went for it and had additional texture to the shaved ice. The mango was a perfect sweetness with the slightest tartness. The panda brick toast was also good but the mango sticky rice just took over!

I've only ordered to-go through someone, so I can't speak for ambiance but it's an extremely busy lot, so if you live near & want to enjoy in the comfort of your own home, it may be best to plan ahead, bring ice box, take multiple ppl so one can order/pick up & other can stay in the car if there's no parking. We've tried the mango stinky rice sundae (must order), Thai tea lemonade- basically cha manaow (can skip), mango sticky rice drink (pretty good if you're looking for drink version of the sundae but can be off putting texture to some), Thai tea shaved ice (melted so fast so wasn't very enjoyable), pandan toast (a lil dry but good w gelato), & gelatos: mango (good staple), coconut milk butterfly pea (yummy/creamy perfect w mango sorbet), jasmine matcha (good choice), pandan milk (strong flavor creamy yummy), earl grey Thai tea (top 3), hojicha crunch (#1), & Thai tea coffee (eh ok just coffee). All the gelatos were shining stars it just depends on preference; very thick, flavorful, & creamy. I've tried 3x in the past 2 months but will be back for more~

We got oreo, biscoff, hershey's chocolate, and blueberry cookies. They are just the right sweet, not too sweet and still flavorful. It's what makes the cookie eatable in bulk I say! Also got the Americano, it's very light which I love. The straw is a pink heart shape, so soo cute.

They have chairs and tables for you to hang out and eat/drink what you purchased. There's also just benches if you wanna lounge. I've seen people here working on their laptop and groups of people around one table so the vibe is chill and friendly. It also depends on what time of day you come. Weekends usually get packed. As for the drinks and food. What we've had here has always been good. Best to eat their Croffle and baked goods there. Although Matcha is not for my liking, I'm more for their Taro Drink. B says the Matcha here is one of the better ones she's had. I have to agree even their Matcha Ice Cream is good. We get is the Matcha Croffle + Ice Cream, Matcha Einspanner, Taro Einspanner, and their cakes. Only thing I knocked down a star is because Not all the workers know the answers to your questions of what is in what food item or if you can substitute the milks. So that's something Cafe Upper should train all staff. Especially if people have food allergies.
