    Strawberry cheesecake bingsoo
    Sylvie C.

    I was introduced by my good friend to visit Sul and Beans after our recent dinner outing. I loved everything about this bustling cozy cafe. The strawberry and cheesecake bingsoo was refreshing and delicious. Not too sweet, not too icy, and everything was just right. Same with the taiyaki. Loved the slight bitterness of the black sesame paste and the wonderfully lightly sweetened custard flavors. Visiting during the evening can be a challenge due to slightly long wait and lack of tables to sit. It is very crowded but for a good reason. Parking is free right outside of the shop. Takeout can be made and they will provide your order in a reusable insulated tote with icepack inside. Extremely thoughtful and loved the attention to details. Will be definitely back to try other flavors in the future.

    I came here with a group of about 10 people after playing tennis. The place is not super tiny, but it was completely packed when we went. The staff looked very busy and honestly a bit exhausted, but they were not rude or unfriendly at all. It just felt like there were too many customers at once, so I do not really blame them. The inside also felt a little warm, probably because it was so crowded. We ordered mango bingsu, strawberry bingsu, injeolmi bingsu, and 15 taiyaki. For a bingsu place, I thought the bingsu itself was just okay. The injeolmi bingsu especially felt a little bland to me. These days, I usually prefer places that use sweeter milk-based shaved ice, but this one felt more like plain milk or even watery ice. The taiyaki, though, was really good. The batter had a nice chewy texture, and that was probably my favorite part of the visit. Overall, I probably would not go out of my way to come back on my own, but if friends wanted to go, I would not mind joining. Solid spot, just not my personal favorite for bingsu.

    This was my first visit to a Sul & Beans and having bingsoo. The ice is so nice and fluffy! We wanted to try the green grape flavor but it ended the previous day so we went with earl grey instead. It was very good. It was the perfect combination of flavors and textures, including cream on top with berries and mint. We got the green grape drink instead, which they still had. It was nice and sweet without being too sweet. It was lively inside but we were able to get a seat no problem in the afternoon. They had some plugs by the water dispenser but not throughout. I appreciated that they had fruit water available because bingsoo is sweet! I look forward to trying their other flavors.

    I went here with my partner and her family for dessert after our lunch. It wasn't too packed inside, so we were able to find seating to accommodate all of us. The staff seemed to be a bit busy with all of the orders they had to make, so it took a few minutes to speak with them to order our dessert. We ordered the Green Grape, Strawberry Cheese, and Oreo Bingsoo. I really liked the green grape bingsoo for how refreshing it was, but all of them were just as good in their own ways. They also had relatively large serving sizes which helped satisfy all of us. There was a good amount of parking outside and the staff was working as hard as they could to get to everyone in an orderly manner.

    The bingsu here is overpriced and the portions are quite small. The taste is just okay and nothing really stands out. It feels more like a place for late-night hangouts. The boong ah bbung(fish-shaped pastry) is decent, and the black sesame filling was actually good. Overall, it's an okay spot to chill, but not really worth it if you're mainly coming for the food.

    Wonderful choice es.  Want to try them all.

    Shave ice at another level. Fine snow flake consistency. Simply amazing. Hip vibe. Efficient service.

    Bingsoo here was great. Pillowy and fluffy. They had so many flavors to choose from. The Bungeoppang was so good. We tried custard and Nutella. Fresh, crispy, delicious. Service was great, we took it to go and everything was packaged perfectly and stayed cool. We would be back to try more flavors.

    Sul & Beans in Buena Park is one of my favorite dessert spots! The bingsoo is incredibly light, fluffy, and made with fresh ingredients. Every bite is refreshing without being overly sweet, and the portions are generous enough to share.

    Busy bingsu spot in Buena Park. Went with some buddies to get dessert. Was packed but was able to snag a table. Place is your typical Sul & Beans spot - so pretty consistent. Had the black sesame bingsu. Was easy eats. Would come back if I'm feeling for some bingsu.

    This is our default spot for bingsoo whenever our family gets together for dinner. It usually gets really packed, so it's safest to stop by around 6-7. The bingsoo is always so good! We always get the Earl Grey one!

    Earl Grey Bingsoo was my fav!!!
    Lincy H.

    My friends and I of course had to get some dessert after dinner. There were 8 of us, but we were able to snag some tables on a Sunday evening. We split three bingsoos (one was a combo with toast), and it was a perfect amount to share. The earl grey bingsoo was so good!! Highly recommend this one. The tea flavor really came out. The green tea bingsoo was decent, but I'm not the hugest fan of red bean. The injeolmi (roasted soybean powder) bingsoo was my least favorite. The flavor was too light/subtle for me. It tasted like watered down coffee to me. I would go back just for the earl grey bingsoo!!

    Sul & Beans is usually packed on weekends with a constant line, but we got lucky visiting on a Friday evening and barely had to wait. There are plenty of tables, though on busy days they can all fill up quickly and orders can take up to 20 minutes. We were able to order right away and went with the Fresh Strawberry Bingsu, plus a side of red bean. Compared to our last visit, this time there was a lot more strawberry syrup/jam, which felt a bit overkill. That said, I still loved the mochi cubes on top -- perfectly soft and chewy. The shaved ice itself is light, fluffy, and tastes like sweet milk without being too heavy. Overall, the dessert is solid, though the flavors can be hit or miss depending on what you order. I'd recommend sticking with the strawberry or injeolmi for a safer, more consistent choice.

    This is popular korean bingsoon dessert chain. This is the 3rd location that I've been, other ones I've gone to are the Rowland Heights and KTown location. PARKING: Free in the plaza/lot it's located in. SWEET CORN TOAST: A combination of sweet and savory. There is cheese in here and you tastes exactly how you'd expect it too. Wouldn't mind getting it again. BLACK SESAME BINGSOO: This came with a scoop of red bean and some mochi on top. The flavor was good, however holy cow the portion has definitely shrunk since I've first had it years ago. I'm not sure if it's just this location or all, but disappointed that it's at least shrunk in 1/3 of size. They also didn't offer us condense milk to pour over? I shared this with 3 others, the 4 of us agreed that this was good to share as a light dessert. I'd say this is more appropriate to share for 2 people.

    My wife heard great things about Don Melt so she stopped to grab some ice cream to give it a shot…read more First off, it's located at the end of the mall under the stairs so it took us a while to locate it. Once we arrived, there was plenty of chairs and seating and the place looked pretty cool. They also had a pretty extensive menu which consisted of coffee, tea, lattes, Korean drinks, smoothies, sparkling aids and of course, ice cream. I don't like ice cream but I was actually pretty excited for her to try it. Cool name, cool spot, I'm willing to bet something on it, it's about to be fire! After waiting a while I noticed she was still at the front, I wasn't sure if she was looking at the menu or what. So I go to the front and no one is in sight, I see the bell and I ring it and a young girl comes to help. Make sure you ring the bell smh. Finally after the long wait, and a small line formed behind us, she finally gets her ice cream on a cone. I see her walking towards me happy and then she takes a bite and everything goes out the window. She hated everything about the ice cream. It wasn't what she thought, she didn't like the texture, the flavor or anything about it. She had me taste it and she was right, it tasted like ice without the cream and kind of bland. It is exactly what it is marketed as, low fat, low calorie, low sugar, and low carbs so I have no clue what she thought she was getting. It clearly said, plant based lol. I told her and she said she at least wanted it to taste creamy and she was right, it was far from creamy but Don Melt didn't do anything wrong lol. Anyway, she didn't want to be mean so she held on to it until we got a few stores down and tossed it. Then we went on a hunt to find her ice cream smh. Now, from my experience, it wasn't bad and I understand what they are doing. It's a healthy ice cream that isn't creamy and it's not something I would eat but I get the concept. It's for healthy eaters wanting to fill a craving, which isn't for everyone and I think she was being a little emotional about wanting her ice cream. I personally wouldn't go back for the ice cream but I'd be willing to try something else off of their menu. I can see why this is pretty popular among healthy eaters. OOO 3 out of 5 Afros
