Perfect balance of sweetness!
Melissa R.

They used to be very good! We would go there to hang out and grab some boba and snow. Mango has always been a solid flavor!! However, in my recent visits I've noticed portion sizes between the regular and large snow bowls are starting to look more and more alike. It's more worth to just get the REGULAR SIZED BOWL and NOT PAY for the LARGE. When I was showing them the difference between a large and medium mango bowl, it was marginally "bigger" but I'm paying $3 more? It's not worth $3. If I am paying $3 more, I would hope for a larger difference in their sizes. That's just my opinion!

Our go-to place for some cold desserts whenever its a hot day. The staff here is friendly, and the place is clean. I do have to warn you that it gets super busy here whenever the temps outside is high, so the wait can be a bit long for your order. Other than that, on a normal day, its pretty calm here and there are a bit of tables here to sit and eat. My one complaint here is that whenever its hot outside they do leave the doors open so its still warm inside the place. The only bit of relief is being in the far back of the store where it is a bit cooler.

Great boba place! I have been wanting to try this place for some time and finally stopped recently on a date night. Both our drinks were tasty and exactly what we wanted. Quick service and recommend ordering ahead if you can. I will come back and try their shaved ice as that was a popular item while we were there.

Hong Kong Coffee Milk tea

I didn't know about the name change from MandRo! They still serve MandRo tea though, so I was excited to see their OG menu. There is also a Snow Bowl in San Ramon, and I just made the connection on why their bingsoo tastes the same LOL. My first visit to MandRo was at the Davis location during my college days, so the drinks and bingsoo are so nostalgic for me. I can't believe the taste has been consistent all these years! I always alternated between the Okinawa Pudding Milk Tea ($5.25) and Hokkaido Milk Tea ($5.50), but I was in the mood for something stronger/less sweet. Hong Kong Coffee Milk Tea ($6): I aimed for the strongest drink lol. I ordered it 30% sweet, 30% ice with mini boba and it satisfied the craving. Mango Bingsoo Regular ($12.95): I always, always default to this flavor. I never know when mango season is, but their mangos have never failed to taste so ripe. How?! Perfect portion for 2-3 people. Expect to wait about 30 minutes for it! Tables can be scarce as it's a popular night snack destination, but I've never had to wait long and the staff can pull up extra stools for you.

Strawberry Bingsoo

Probably one of the ONLY bingsu spots near Fremont. The bingsu is VERY good and i dont know if it is just because there are no other spots, but it is always crowded here! This can make the wait for the bingsu to come out over 30 minutes. I usually dont mind, but i have seen other customers get very frustrated with the long wait time. Friendly reminder to NOT yell at the workers - they are trying their best. Other than that - great spot! Overall the bingsu is very tasty and flavorful! Just be prepared to wait a bit!

Mango Bingsoo (R) with extra condensed milk
Cynthia Y. L.

Hubby and I stopped by after dinner today (Wednesday) around 8pm. Most tables were filled except just 2-3 smaller ones. We ordered a regular-sized mango snow and extra condensed milk. The portion was actually pretty big and could easily have been shared between 3 people! The bingsoo was very soft and milky, and mango slices were surprisingly good. It already came with enough condensed milk so we didn't use any of the extra second one. This is a great place for dessert and I would def come back to try other flavors. The only downside was that we felt it took a long time to get our order :(

Injeolmi Bingsoo
Helen L.

You can either order through a kiosk or with the staff. After ordering, find a table and listen for your number to be called. At the end, you'll return your tray at the return tray shelf. I got the regular size injeolmi bingsoo and it was more than enough to share between 2 people. The bingsoo was fluffy and milky. The red bean and mochi mixed so well with the bingsoo!

We came at 7pm and no one was here. I was a bit hesitant to go inside at first. We only ordered mango bingsoo large size to share since there is just 2 of us. Mango bingsoo comes with some milk which you can pour on the ice. It was good. The wait was around 13 minutes after we ordered. The name is actually call Snow Bowl and not MandR teahouse.

Strawberry Bingsoo and Mango Bingsoo
Kayla L.

My folks and I came here on a whim after lunch nearby. We stopped in on a Sunday around 2 PM, and the place was completely packed. Luckily, we managed to grab a couple of tables and a spare stool for our group of six. The shop was a bit uncomfortably warm given the hot weather, which made it hard to sit and relax for long. We shared two regular-sized bingsoo--the strawberry and the mango. The strawberry was decent and balanced, though I wished it had come with more mochi pieces and fresh fruit underneath the shaved ice. The mango bingsoo, on the other hand, was much better and more enjoyable. I also ordered a jasmine milk tea (0% sugar) for my mom, but unfortunately it didn't have much of a tea flavor. It reminded me of the more generic drinks you sometimes get at smaller mom-and-pop boba shops. Overall, it was an okay experience. The bingsoo was good but I'd only return if I'm ever looking for a dessert spot within the area.

Mango Bingsoo & Matcha Red Bean Bingsoo
Tay J.

Bing soo is always 10/10 here! It's pretty small inside and get very crowded and sometimes you have to wait for a table to free up. There are extra stools around in case you need extra seating. There can also be a bit of a wait once you've ordered from the kiosk. I've never tried a drink from here I always go for the mango bing soo! Even when mango is out of season theirs is always fresh, so strange but very delicious! Parking can also be tough in the area in front of the restaurant so I tend to park further away and just walk.

Mango Bingsoo

Good mango bingsoo, horrible service. Staff stands around while customers have to wait in line to use the one kiosk to place their order. As I was placing my order, the staff as calling out an order number 6 numbers in front of my order. After waiting for our bingsoo for 30 minutes, I went up to the counter to ask what's going on only to be ignored for 5 minutes before I was able to speak to someone. When I mentioned I had been waiting for over 30 minutes, the guy went to the back and immediately came out with my order so it had been sitting around? My friend noticed it looked like a smaller (deflated?) portion size than the tables next to us. The bingsoo itself was good. Pillowy soft, creamy, and just the right amount of sweetness. That being said, given the bad experience with the service, it'd take a lot for me to want to come back here. The kiosk asks for tip at the end and given the nonexistent service, I would recommend skipping the tip. You place your order on a kiosk, get the order from the counter when it's ready, and take your empty bowls back to the counter.

Matcha Red Bean Bingsoo
Ethan W.

Cozy bingsu spot in Newark that is open relatively late and great for catching up / sharing. The place has been rebranded to "snow bowl" but is under the same management still. The bingsu is pretty nice, good fluffy texture and is actually made from milk / cream base because it's not watery. The matcha red bean bingsu wasn't overpoweringly sweet and went well with the condensed milk.

Strawberry Bingsoo
Veronica P.

Strawberry bingsoo was yummy!!! Generous slices of fresh strawberries layered all throughout, not just on top. On its own, the shaved ice is bland, but once you mix it with the condensed milk and strawberries, it comes together well. The texture of the ice is fluffy, almost snow-like, which makes it light and easy to eat. The mochi cubes on top were soft, chewy, and not too sweet. I also liked that the condensed milk came on the side so you can control the sweetness. Overall, refreshing, well-balanced, and definitely hits the spot if you're craving something light but satisfying.

How long does it take for mango bingsoo to melt if I want to take out 24 minutes away?

It should be okay! Holds up pretty well.

What happens to bingsoo texture-wise when placed in a freezer for a couple of hours? (Planning a kbbq party and I figured bingsoo would be the best ending 😋)

Ice turns hard. I wouldn't recommend it. Fresh is always best.

Is the shaved ice dairy free?

No.. it has condensed milk.

Do they use dairy free creamer?

Are they open on Mondays? i tried calling to confirm hours but no one is answering...

ChaChaCha is one of my favorite cafés in Fremont whenever I'm craving unique drinks and desserts…read more On my recent visit, I tried the Brown Cheese Vanilla Croffle, Pistachio Matcha, and the returning Corn Einspanner, and everything was delicious. The Brown Cheese Vanilla Croffle was definitely the highlight--crispy on the outside, soft inside, topped with creamy vanilla ice cream and rich brown cheese that added the perfect sweet and savory flavor. The Pistachio Matcha was smooth and well-balanced, and the Corn Einspanner was surprisingly delicious with its creamy corn foam. The café has a cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and beautifully presented menu items. Definitely worth visiting if you're looking for something different in the Bay Area!

I will update my review when I come back for another drink; my sister's matcha cream matcha latte was delish, so I know they for sure make good drinks. I probably should've ordered tea and not coffee at a shop called ChaChaCha? Cha is Chinese for tea! I love their photobooth in the corner that prints out black and white receipt paper photos for you to take home. My sister told me their walls used to be covered in customer photos, but they were bare when I visited :(

Can't give 5 stars because the time for preparation isn't correct (most of the time I stand there and it's already done yet they don't tell you/no longer call out numbers or name and then as I'm driving away, it tells me the drink is done and ready for pick up). Additionally, not much sitting area to the point nobody really stays and wants to chat or play games... I think uses canned goods such as the aiyu isn't natural but canned. (I understand natural aiyu is expensive and takes too much time to prepare.) Service: speaks both Mandarin Chinese and English Vibe: I feel like it's more of a pickup scene than a hey let's hang out here and chat. Would I come back?

My favorite order at Yifang is the sesame snow, and it comes with cheese foam and milky ice and sesame paste, i also add Mochi Jelly. This location's cheese foam tastes old, like they been in the fridge for a week. It's so confusing to me since i thought it was a one off time, but the flavor is consistently disappointing after going there 2-3 times in a row. The mochi jelly is completely different, texture and flavor wise, just tastes like regular jelly, no mochi flavors or texture. Hopefully they can improve the quality, it's really disappointing when small things like this ruining the experience of my favorite drinks. For ~$9 a drink, I expect quality, in flavors and service.

I found this place on a whim while I was in Fremont and decided, why not?…read more It was very empty in the early afternoon on a Monday, but that is to be expected. The store was bright and colorful, with many places to sit. There's even a little free photo booth you can get a picture with! I ordered a taro milk tea with lychee jelly and it was delicious! The star, however, was the popcorn chicken. They have extra seasoning at the counter and I added spice to my chicken, which made it even better than it was by itself. I would definitely come back to try their other foods.

I also really loved that they have a print out camera machine in the front you can use while waiting for your food. This was so much fun! I ordered: 1. Strawberry Binsoo: It was bit on the sweet side however it was overall really good. The mochi was sooooo good with it. The ice itself is good quality and milky. I also really like that its in a cup and personal sized but I still shared it with my wife. I like the option that they sell personal sized ones so you can try more flavors rather than having to order a huge bowl format and you're stuck with a huge one or only able to eat half if you cant finish it and no one else in the group wants it. 2. Tiramisu Einspanner: really good! Again a bit on the sweet side but it was delicious. I bought it for my mom so I only took a few sips but it was really good. Overall, easy to order and the restaurant is very spacious with lots of seating. I'd definitely be back if I was in the area.

I placed an online order and checked in when I arrived to pick it up. The cashier (a woman wearing glasses) barely acknowledged me, simply looked at the screen and said, "We're still working on it."

A little later, another customer came in to pick up an online order, and one of the baristas immediately started making her drinks. By that point, I had already been waiting for over 20 minutes. I eventually flagged down one of the baristas in the back, who kindly apologized for the delay and quickly prepared my order. I appreciate how friendly and helpful the barista was, but the overall pickup process was frustrating and made it seem like my online order had been overlooked. I hope the store can provide additional training to ensure online pickup orders are handled more consistently and that customers are acknowledged and kept informed while they wait.
