    Mixed Berry Bingsoo and Taro Bingsoo
    Generous Y.

    Snowy Village is the best bingsoo around. Honestly, the UW location has been pretty slow for over a year, sometimes taking over an hour for a single order at night. If you're craving some bingsoo, make the trek to Bellevue if possible. This store is shared with Xi'an Noodles with a shared restroom and wifi available. Located in the Belgate plaza, there is plenty of parking. Mixed Berry Bingsoo - my favorite bingsoo because the berries are packed with flavor, sweet, and enhance the dessert. With a mix of sweetness, tartness, and acidity, the bingsoo has balance and the contrast actually helps each flavor shine. The berry juices even add flavor to the bingsoo below (and there are berries at the bottom). The only mediocre aspect is the whipped cream on top which is just whatever. Taro Bingsoo - the menu has alternated between ube ice cream and taro ice cream but I think it's always been taro ice cream because it's not overly sweet. Red bean is also sweet but after devouring the toppings (including the ice cream), the bingsoo itself doesn't offer much. It's sweet shaved milk with condensed milk but the taro flavor isn't as potent.

    The place is filthy. Dead bug all over the ledge by the window. Probably 20 or more boxes of what looks like maybe supplies sitting in the seating area. One person working which took forever. She had to take orders and make the stuff. First time to this location and the last. I hope the other locations haven't gone downhill.

    Snowy Village is a chain but this is my first (and probably last) time coming to this location. Our first hint should've been the "Okay" rating in food safety posted at the front door... It seemed to be operated by two high schoolers who didn't care about the dirty tables or the food. You order through a tablet and there were two people in the back with AirPods in, working on your order or sitting on their phones. We felt gross dining in because the tables were all dirty and for whatever reason, A/C was blasting during the winter! Our strawberry bingsoo came out dripping on the sides and super sticky, and I don't recall from my past experiences, but the whipped cream didn't have any sugar in it so it was just plain whip on top. We also ordered drinks and those were good, but overall, experience was not worth it and was not enjoyable.

    Got the taro, cheesecake, and mango flavors. I used to LOVEE this place when it was one of the first bingsoo places I tried. However, I'm not sure if it was an off day but it honestly wasn't hitting the same. The flavor seemed a lot more subtle than I remember. I do love all their flavor options though and will likely come back and try it again.

    First time at Snowy Village and so glad we came in! This was the perfect dessert after a sunny hike. Wait was not long and there was plenty of table/seating space. The injeolmi was full of nostalgic flavors, well balanced with great chew on the mochi. The watermelon was so unique and refreshing. The shaved ice is made with condensed milk and so are extra creamy without being cloying. And the best part of it all--not too sweet!

    Walked into this location and it's dirty. Tables and floors were dirty, but the staff was just sitting around on their phones. Ordered the taro. It was flavorless. The only flavor you did get was in the red beans, and slightly from the taro ice cream on top. The actual shave ice didn't have any flavor to it. While we were eating, one of the staff took a personal call on speaker. I won't be back to this location. Not sure if I'd try any locations as a first time customer here and it was disappointing to say the least.

    This location's menu, pricing, and food presentation blew the Renton location one out of the water! Would be great if the Renton one could step up their game like the Bellevue one because side by side comparison is very disappointing. However, the Bellevue location is awful for the cleanliness, the tables and chairs were filthy with accumulating food bits collecting on the tables and seating at this location. You have to wipe down the table and chairs essentially cleaning up everything yourself if the past customers were less than considerate. The girl working at the ordering counter was on her phone if there was no customers ordering, but never got up to clean.

    Bacon and cheese
    Bessie C.

    Quite a few small tables, bright and clean. Computerized ordering system with many options for size, sweetness level, add ons. There are 3 sizes- lite, regular and large. We didn't realize how large they were as a lite could easily be shared by two ppl. First time having a savory tayaki. We got bacon and cheese but didn't see the bacon. The staff immediately offered to remake it with more bacon. The ice is super smooth and creamy.

    Fruity Pebbles bingsoo to-go (lite size)

    I've been to another location before, and did not realize there was one in this plaza. So after we had dinner, I had my bf come here because he's never tried bingsoo before. He got the Fruity Pebbles one, and really liked it. Service was very friendly. Will be back to try more flavors.

    Fresh fruits, creamy milky snow, variety of topping all available! Seating is a bit limited but most folks eat quickly . Parking is limited as it shares a lot with other popular businesses including boiling point . Very tasty, perfect for a summer evening.

    Small cafe with room for about 20 people inside. You order on the touch screen display and you receive a number on your receipt to pick up your order. Bingsoo here is made with milk and so the "shaved ice" is fluffy, soft, and melts on your tongue like when you catch snowflakes in your mouth. The fruit bingsoos seemed to be popular and the injeolmi flavor as well. I got the smallest size (Lite) and it was about $7-8 which was a perfect single serving. If you're lactose intolerant I'd recommend you take a lactaid beforehand!!

    Milk Shaved Ice

    Yummy bingsoo! The flavor of the ice is sweet and refreshing, the mochi is chewy, and the red bean compliments it all. I also like that there are more size options compared to a year ago. You order on a self serve tablet and then have to grab a table. Every time I've gone, its pretty packed so its sometimes hard to get a table.

    Taiyaki (3 for $13.50)
    Courtney L.

    After seeing a movie, two friends and I came to Snowy Village to grab dessert! Apparently, many others had the same idea as It was packed at 10:00P on a summer Saturday. I've actually never had Korean shaved ice (bingsoo) before, so this was something to cross off my list! There were a couple groups in front of us, but once we reached the self-order screen, we selected one bingsoo (they were sadly out of the mango flavor) and some taiyaki, then stepped outside to wait. Luckily, we got an outdoor table belonging to the neighboring Xian Noodles which was closed by that time. Considering the crowd, our order was ready pretty quickly after about 10 minutes. + STRAWBERRY BINGSOO ($14.99, regular size): The shaved ice itself was so fine and powdery with a very subtle vanilla-ish flavor. Since it's made up of 100% milk and condensed milk, it is fairly creamy as it melts in your mouth, however, it doesn't have much taste on its own. The strawberry swirls and fresh strawberries added most of the flavor and sweetness. I found the sweetness level to be just right and this was a pretty refreshing dessert overall. The bingsoo came topped with an excessive amount of whipped cream on top, but I'm definitely not complaining about that! + TAIYAKI (3 for $13.50): I only tried the red bean taiyaki, whereas my friends got the custard and Nutella. Instead of the typical pancake-like batter that comprises most taiyakis, these were similar to a flaky croissant! It was so crispy, light and piping hot inside. I enjoyed the red bean filling which gushed out as I bit into it. It contained whole beans rather than being a paste. This was a delicious way to end the evening! I would say the "regular" size bingsoo is perfect for two people to split, but the three of us were satisfied after splitting one since we each also ate a taiyaki. When looking around, most tables ordered two or three different bowls of bingsoo and shared them. The price point is a little high for a bowl of icy milk with fruit, but it was tasty and satisfied our sweet tooths!

I know they take care in their craft but I can't really justify the price point when I can buy an organic tub of yogurt elsewhere, get my toppings at an asian market myself, and have multiple servings from what I buy instead of just one. Again, my own opinion. The desserts here are very lightly sweetened which fits the palate of their target audiences very well. I do appreciate the subtleness of the sweet vs tang and love the idea of combining the exotic flavors they have. Very novel ideas that I will bring into my own kitchen with added granola. :)

I loved the variety of textures, from the chewy mochi to the crunch of the cornflakes at the bottom--it keeps every bite interesting. You can tell they use premium, ceremonial-grade matcha because the color is so vibrant and the taste is incredibly smooth. The cafe has a very modern, clean, and minimalist aesthetic.
