This is a good bingsu place--prices seem a bit steep, but you get a good amount. The snow has that great fine texture, but was oddly dry and less creamy than I have had at other places. Another thing that is different from other bingsu places I've been to is that their desserts are quite tall (I prefer a wider, more shallow bowl), which makes it challenging to eat. Also, if you eat the toppings up, you are left with a bowl of pretty tasteless snow at the bottom. It would be better if they would layer in some condensed milk or whatever flavor/topping with the snow in the bowl. That being said, I got the taro and the toppings were very tasty. The topping to snow ratio is too low, but this would be fixed with a layer of flavor within the snow. Service is fine, takes a little while to get your bingsu, but it seems like that is how most bingsu places are. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Decor is spartan, but it was clean[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. read more

One of few bingsu establishments in the PDX area! I forgot the exact name, but I ordered the "Pig __" flavor which is an Oreo crumble and strawberry flavor, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the top. The bingsu has thin slices of strawberry laid on it hidden underneath a coating of Oreo crumbs, with more toppings inside the cup. The regular size was great to share between 3 people. I could taste the milk in the shaved ice itself which made it creamier and smooth. On another note, the inside of the establishment feels very humid? read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This shop is very small, so be prepared if you can't find a place to eit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We really enjoyed the Mango Bingsoo as it was delicious and very puffy in texture. We also ordered a red bean Taiyaki that was very interesting as they use a waffle batter for a crunchy texture. The taiyaki was made to order, and there is a thick parmesan cheese-like smell when they are being made. I didn't have problem with that, buy my husband said it was a little strong for him. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Overall, we liked Snowy Village a lot but wish the wait time was shorter and there were more places to sit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It felt like everyone was fighting for tables/chair space, in result it was not a relaxing visit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were glad we get to try it out, but we would much rather stick to one of the Bingsoo places in Beaverton as they are less crowded. read more

It took us an hour to get in and out of this place on a Saturday night and that's with us taking our Bingsu with us to go. We arrived at 8pm and were getting back in the car at 8:55pm. It was too chilly to eat outside and there wasn't any room inside as there were lots of people standing around or sitting at the tables waiting for their orders. They had 2 people working their butts off in the back, but one was trying to make the Bingsu and the other was making everything else. The place had a white hospital look to the inside. The Bingsu itself was ok. I personally think that it may be a lil overkill with the stacking things on top as I saw someone was bringing out an order and the ball of ice cream on top fell over and they had to desperately grab the top from falling over and place it back on. I personally prefer the fluffy snow on the bottom. They didn't have the sesame so I opted for taro which had a big ballnof taro ice cream on top of the snow with some mochi. I also highly recommend the "light" which is a smallest size, especially if you aren't sharing. Overall it wasn't bad but I don't think I would be willing to go wait an hour again. read more

The food always looks just as incredible as the pictures online. Although it took a while to come out it was expected due to how busy it was inside. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Wish they had a bigger building because it got crowded quickly[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], [[HIGHLIGHT]]also wish it wasn't painted blinding white but the food really outshines all of that.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The bingsu is delicious, I got the biscoff and it was delicious, I just wish I got more of the syrup! But the ice cream on top made up for it. My friend got the fruity pebbles and it was good as well! The portion sizes were huge as we got the mediums and we couldn't finish them. We also each got a fish taiyaki, the Nutella and the pizza! They were both just as advertised and tasty, just could've used a bit more filling if anything. Overall 10/10 highly recommend. read more

Guys I'm obsessed. I crave the mango one on the daily. I come way too often. I brave the lines and the waits. I make all my friends come with me. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This place is often packed and for good reason.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I hope they have mango forever. $10 for ice milk and mango is oddly worth every penny. It's always a delight coming.

Korean shaved ice, or bingsoo, is thinly shaved ice with a fluffy, snow-like consistency. It's traditionally topped with sweetened condensed milk and red bean, but Snowy Village has plenty of options to choose from! We chose the injeolmi (roasted grain powder) and strawberry bingsoos. Injeolmi transports me straight to my childhood with its sweet, roasty, nutty flavor. It pairs perfectly with the red bean and rice cakes on top! The strawberry bingsoo was super refreshing and packed to the brim with strawberries. PSA: Expect longer wait times during warmer days/months--it's worth the wait! read more

We only got the milk ice, but it was ok. Good fruit, but not as soft and snowy ice as I would have wanted. It had good layers which was nice though. Crazy overpriced. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was pretty unclean and unkempt all around.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was not too good, but they were quite understaffed so I won't hold it against them. Given the limited options around town, it's a decent spot to get shave ice. I have to try other similar spots to truly compare. Good versatile menu overall with extra items to try. read more

Bingsu - a Korean milk based shaved ice dessert with sweet toppings. I've had this place bookmarked since I seen that PDX finally got one. We came on a VERY hot day. It was a whopping 94 degrees out. And this definitely cooled us down and satisfied our sweet tooth. For me, bingsu is that subtle balance of sweet. It's not overpowering unless you make it overpowering- if that makes sense. It's street parking. So enjoy the other little shops if you want and end your walk here to cool off. & you're in luck! Because two-zone is next door. A little Korean corner if you will. They're staffed in the kitchen, so a kiosk takes your order. Since we've sat down, to when we ate our dessert, and when we left- no one came out to tend to the tables. Explains the stickiness. Maybe placing a few disinfecting wipe stations could help out and the guests could clean up their table as they are done :) Taro-YUM! We were bummed out that it didn't have taro ice cream but it was still really good. We got extra condense milk to add a little more sweetness once we ate all the toppings. Cheesecake- it was like the perfect balance since it's milk based. And there were extra cheesecake chunks on the bottom. Update 9/2024: Piggy Bear is a strawberry and oreo combination and this one was super delicious! I enjoyed every piece of strawberry and super soft oreo dust. We got it with a side of cheesecake which made it so much better. They offer 3 sizes: Lite - perfect for a solo treat or if you and your partner aren't feeling too big of dessert Regular - perfect for 2 to share Large - a family fun treat! read more

First off, the bingsoo is DELICIOUS and I have been back several times because of this! I would love for this place to succeed and I want to offer some suggestions to the business owner that would overall improve the customer experience. Please ignore if these are things you are not able to do at the moment, but in my personal opinion, they did have an impact on the experience and I hope they can be of use. (1) Please open and utilize both doors if possible, it feels much more intuitive than having one locked and slightly blocked by a chair. (2) I recommend serving with silverware already on the tray included so the customer does not have to get up right when their food arrives to grab their own spoons and napkins. (3) Providing wet wipes rather than dry napkins would help people feel cleaner when they are finished (4) Might be too difficult to change, but the divide in between the outdoor tables is a bit strange and feels slightly awkward (5) Serving the bingsoo in a lower, wider dish would help it be less messy. So much falls of the top because of how tall it is (but the portion sizes are impressive! a kids size is plenty). When bussing, it would be helpful to have a big sign over the " bussing zone" so it is clear where to go. Another small detail that makes the experience feel more seamle (6) The staff are so hardworking, but it definitely feels like yall are understaffed. It doesn't seem like they get much time to breathe with how quick they're moving (and still, wait times are generally pretty long). I understand and respect that margins may be tight and this might not be something you can change, but maybe add another helping hand. (7) [[HIGHLIGHT]]Please consider atmosphere, including decor, lighting and music. The lights are too fluorescent and the vibe would feel so much better if it were less bright. Adding wood shelving, plants, and local art, for example, would be a way to warm the place up a lot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The chair right next to the bathroom feels awkward.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] (8) A random bonus idea - it would be so cool if you sold bingsoo ingredients, trinkets and accessories, and may be a good extra source of income for the store. I don't write this to dissuade anyone from going, rather, there's a reason I keep coming back. It's a texture and flavor like no other, and the delicious, rich flavors should satisfy every sweet tooth out there. Truly love and respect yall and hope you take these things into consideration if they feel right to you. read more

Definitely located borderline upscale and old school neighborhood of Portland. Great place to stop by on your walk home to get dessert. That's also not too sweet!!

Very refreshing on an unexpected warm day. read more

Finally got to try their fruit bingsoo! Got the strawberry and mango to try, and the texture is so fun to eat. It is shaved ice texture but with a vanilla flavor. They give you real fruit, but I do wish there was more, especially on the strawberry one because the center is just shaved ice. Still, it was tasty, and I want to come back to try more from here! read more

Snowy Village has great bingsu & I am glad it's not all the way out in Beaverton! I do know they have a location in Seattle as well because that was the location I visited first. We had the black sesame the first time & cookie butter this time. 10/10 read more

Snowy Village - cookie butter! - Desserts Near Me - Portland, Oregon

The HIGHS: - Ordered the matcha which came with red bean, rice cakes, matcha powder, topped with almond nuts - I like how they used shaved MILK instead of shaved ice which makes it more creamy - They also put some of the filling (red bean) in the MIDDLE of the shaved ice so you wouldn't be left with nothing at the end! - Overall was not too sweet - A regular size would be plenty for 2 people or a small for 1 person - Good music The MIDS: - Only 1 ordering screen and limited seating - Tables outside were a little dirty and probably needed a good wipe down - Pretty warm inside the building - Service was okay, we didn't wait too long (they were probably short people) The LOWS: - None :) CONCLUSION: - Casual low-key spot with creamy bingsoo (korean shaved ice), would go again if I was in the area read more

I enjoyed this place very much! It was very humid and hot inside though for a place that serves cold desserts, but Portland rarely gets hot so I get it. When you first walk in you're greeted by a giant screen that you will input your orders into. The machine will ask for your number and it will notify you when your order is ready. I got the injeomi, I hope that's how you spell it, but I think it's their classic traditional version of this dessert style. I thought it was light and delicious! It had mochi and red bean, if you love red bean I suggest you get this one! They load it up for you. I got red bean out so I put it to the side. My partner got the black sesame, same thing with the red bean, the black sesame became too much and overwhelmed everything. It was tasty in the beginning, but my mouth started drying out because of all the sesame. It had vanilla ice cream, mochi, and red bean! Who doesn't love a scoop of ice cream? Overall, I would definitely come back to try their other flavors. read more

I'm a big fan of Korean pot bingsu and this place is pretty close. It's almost a mash up of Hawaiian snow and Korean dessert version. It's very young, trendy. The place is bright, energetic with that insta vibe. Order at big kiosk, the favorite seems to be the fresh mango one. They have various toppings for extra charge and sizes. Ours was a medium and enough for two people. It's pricey in terms of dessert but you only live once right? read more

Where to begin, this place was a nice treat for dessert. You order from one kiosk which isn't as user friendly as it appears to be. If you order one "bingsoo" you can order a second one at a discount but must type it in the notes with your first item. The cooked to order custard taiyaki was extremely hot but if you have the patience to wait for it to cool the dessert is crispy and had plenty of tasty filling. The service was limited as all employees will preparing and delivering orders. There is a cup and water station beside the one kiosk. Napkins were plentiful and much needed. Overall, this is a place you can visit for all ages. We definitely will visit again! read more

I love bingsoo so I'm always excited when I find it. My husband and I shared a mango in the larger size as well as a custard taiyaki. The mango topping was fantastic. It also comes with condensed milk and whipped cream. The center of the ice could use a bit more toppings. The taiyaki was really good. One thing I didn't like was the ordering process. You order on a tablet, which is fine with me. The issue I have is that it asks if you want to add whipped, cream, condensed milk, and other toppings without making it clear that these already come on it. We paid for extra for when we wouldn't have if we had known it was already on there. read more

I went there specifically because yelp said it was wheelchair accessible. I went to one of two doors, and there was a sign saying to go to the other door, so I went to the other door and tried to get through it in my wheelchair, but it was locked. A man told me to go back to the other door so I went to the door that said not to enter and went in, but he didn't bother to open it for me. There were no door open buttons. I then found that the paper towels were stacked on top of the paper towel dispenser impossible to reach with a wheelchair. The ice cream was good and I would eat it again, but it was expensive and it took over half an hour, even though the place wasn't busy. Overall, it was a poor first experience there and I was not comfortable at all. read more

Taiyakis were ok and bingsoo was photogenic and the injeolmi powder was delicious. What I wasn't a fan of was the dirtiness of the place. This could be due to low staff and the width of the container the dessert was served in. Chairs and table were sticky and not cleaned for the next guests. And the guests don't clean up after themselves either. I could see how the container style supports people dripping melted sweetness outside the container. So maybe one suggestion would be to provide containers with larger widths so people drip less. Either that or figure out how to keep the place cleaner read more

You certainly get your money's worth here. My wife and I went sometime last year and it was great once we got our orders. It's such a great value for what you get, compared with other similar spots. The only thing regrettable is not realizing how humongous a regular sized order is. And what a spectacle it can be when they finally bring out your order. When we went, it happened to be during the busy time. So it was literally a mad house. Kids screaming, everybody yelling and trying to hear each other. It was cramped inside.... very unpleasant IMO. I won't knock it though. That's just proof of how successful they are. As a consumer, I can just learn a quieter time to show up. If I show up, that is. I'm not a fan of the trip there from where I live. But if you live on that side of town and you haven't been yet.... Well, you're missing out. You gotta go at least once. read more

The bingsu is SO GOOD. I really love the taro and strawberry bingsu. The toppings on the taro complement it perfectly and I love the mochi! However, I am not really a fan of their taiyaki, I'm not sure what oil they use but it has a sort of oily (film?) residue over the taiyaki, which also emits a strange smell as the taiyaki is cooking. I will say the service can also be hit or miss, depending on when you come in and who is working. Sometimes the workers will just glare the whole time and be very dismissive/not friendly other times the service is very friendly! So it just depends , but the bingsu has never missed! read more

Liked it, but didn't love it. First, there were cases of condensed milk on the counter, and the area where you bus your stuff was cluttered. Overall, the interior looks and feels unkept. Other reviews have expressed similar sentiment! If you don't consume the Bingsoo fast enough then you're left with an unappetizing mess. The whipped cream tasted processed. Lastly, I wish they'd offer a much smaller version for a lower price. The trend with desserts is small, but they've gone the other way. You order using a large touchscreen, but i didn't see any hand sanitizer. Gross. That said, I'd go back if I had a craving, but it's not the kind of place I'd automatically stop if there was a rock star parking space available. read more

I've officially become a bingsoo and taiyaki addict after eating here 3 days in a row. I could hit this place up for another week and still not get sick of it. Bingsoo is so light and easy to eat. I'm not sure if they use artificial ingredients here but the fruit bingsoo tastes especially refreshing. I think the mochi on the injeolmi bingsoo could've been softer but it still added some nice diversity in textures. The taiyaki is made by order and comes out hot. The custard and red bean filling are great but my fav so far is the Nutella. They have plenty of seating inside and 2 tables outside. This place can get packed so you aren't guaranteed a spot. There's this weird fence area in front of the store that could house more tables imo. Maybe they will add more when the weather gets nicer because it feels like a missed opportunity to showcase their popularity. read more

First thing first, this place way TOO long. My snowy item took 30 minutes. I'm not sure why it took so long because it was not busy at all. The food itself was good, a bit too much even for a small size. Mine fell instantly as I got it so that was a bummer. The ice cream on the top was too heavy for the icey part. The inside has a cute design inside but the bathroom smelled disgusting. Might suggest having some air fresheners inside and someone routinely check on it to maintain it. read more
