    Taro bingsoo
    Katelyn K.

    My sister said she loves coming here with her husband so we stopped by Sul & Beans after dinner. I decided to try something new and ordered Taro Bingsoo for us. I think we all regret ordering this one because there is nothing inside or at the bottom. Just ice! There's mochi and red beans on top, but that's it. They've tried other flavors and there's always stuff inside. I would recommend mango and black sesame instead. We also had to walk a bit from the parking structure because they blocked off parking at the entrance. I'd to try Oreo Bingsoo next time.

    Haven't been back in a while, and unfortunately, tonight's visit for bingsoo left us slightly disappointed. We ordered the mugwort bingsoo, hoping for that fresh, distinctively earthy and grassy flavor. However, the mugwort powder itself seemed to contain added sugar, and the red bean topping was also on the sweeter side--so much so that I actually had to scoop it out. Additionally, the shaved ice itself tasted quite light and lacked the rich, milky flavor we remember from back in the day. Hopefully, it was just an off night, but the recipe definitely feels sweeter and less creamy than it used to be.

    Strawberry Matcha Bingsoo

    One of my go-to dessert spots! Sul & Beans is located within a sprawl of restaurants, dessert shops, drink spots, and the like. It can get really busy here, but I can usually find a parking spot within 5 minutes or so. There is as much seating as possible crammed into the somewhat small dessert shop as well as outdoor seating--it can get really busy here, so be warned. The menu covers mostly Korean-style shaved ice desserts, dessert toasts, and some drinks, including a couple different matcha drinks. Their flavors range from popular fruit ones (like mango or grape) to more traditionally Asian flavors (red bean, injeolmi). Once you order, they give you a little pager buzzer for the wait. I find that the drinks and toast come out quickly, but the shaved ice can take a little bit longer. I have really enjoyed everything I have tried here--the shaved ice comes with a tray and a little dish of condensed milk (and you can ask for more if you prefer it). I recommend sharing it with one other person, as it can be difficult to finish it solo before it begins melting. In addition to the pretty toppings, they also layer the toppings into the middle of the shaved ice. I 100% recommend visiting if you don't mind it being slightly crowded. The prices are generally reasonable, and the quality of the desserts is high. There are occasionally seasonal or new flavors, so it's always going to be a fun experience. I come here somewhat regularly with friends or my partner and will be back again soon.

    Matcha and red beans

    Sul & Beans is my go-to spot for dessert after dinner--as long as it's not too busy. Their corn shaved ice is my favorite. It's hard to find corn desserts, aside from occasionally seeing sweet corn in Filipino halo-halo, so I always appreciate seeing it on the menu. The sweet corn, fluffy shaved ice, and creamy toppings are such a good combination. The only downside is the service. On our last visit, we waited about 40 minutes after ordering. To be fair, the cashier warned us in advance that it would be a long wait, so it wasn't unexpected, but it was still a bit much for dessert. The desserts themselves are easily 5-star quality. If the service were a little faster, this would be a solid 5-star spot overall.

    I've been coming to this place for the past 5 years and it's my moms fav spot. I'm in love with all their bingsoo flavors but the matcha, black sesame and ube are another level. There's thin layer of sweet beans in between and and on top, paired with rice gelly pudding makes the ice cream 10 times better. I always leaving wanting more :(. Very organized store, there's complimentary water. Very clean ice cream spot.

    Strawberry Bingsu
    Chloe M.

    My friend introduced me to this Korean dessert shop. I love Sul & Beans, this place has some of the best bingsu in the Bay Area. Parking can be tricky as the lot isn't big enough for how many popular restaurants there are in the area. It's always packed at this location and the wait can be up to 20 minutes but it's so worth it. I love asking for extra condensed milk or cream on the side. The strawberries are so fresh, and bring a lot of the flavor. You really can't go wrong with any of them, they all are amazing. Perfect for 2-3 people. The staff is nice as well, just know what you want when you're at the front of the line as they are busy and just trying to keep the pace going. Will forever recommend this place!

    This was my first time having Bingsoo...shocker lol I just never had the chance to try it. I went with some friends and the desserts are super enjoyable and refreshing. Also not too sweet! I'd totally return if I'm in the area all the flavors are straightforward.

    Spacious restaurant space with lots of seating. You order at the counter and sit down with a buzzer. Very aesthetically pleasing 3D models of each of their bingsoos at the front. The portion size is big enough for you to share with 2-3 people. However, I felt like the bingsoo was a little lacking. The ice portion isn't as milky as some other stores and overall it tasted like artificial sugar that was hard to finish. Still a nice option if you want something sweet after dinner but perhaps share it with 1 more person than you're planning to so that it stays short and sweet.

    Always nostalgic for me since I'd come here often in high school. This place is always crowded, and understandably so since it's a good sweet treat option. Appreciate that Sul & Beans is one of the sit-down dessert spots that is open late. We came at 9pm on a Thursday and it was still full inside, but the dessert always comes out quick. We got the strawberry cheese shaved ice. The presentation is always beautiful with a generous amount of fruit and syrup. While there's better shaved ice textures out there (this one is slightly icier if that makes sense), I do still think this one is soft and fluffy enough. It's on the less-sweet side and is a lighter dessert so you luckily don't leave feeling super stuffed. Always a great satisfaction for my late night, post dinner sweet tooth :)

    Strawberry Cheesecake instead of Strawberry Matcha

    Unfortunately the employees gave me the wrong order. I had ordered the strawberry matcha bingsoo and I had gotten the strawberry cheesecake. Pretty disappointing despite waiting 20+ minutes.

    Strawberry bingsu comes with mochi
    analynn n.

    Not a bad place for bingsu but it can get really crowded. They typically only have 1-2 server so there is sometimes a wait on weekends or dinner time. I always go for the fresh strawberry bingsu and it comes with 4 mochi cubes. Sometimes the mochi is frozen cause the ice cream is too cold but their bingsu is not too sweet. You can also get extra condensed milk on the side and free water to wash it down. The place is really clean for how busy they tend to be and there is a good amount of seating since you can sit outside as well. Just warning their coffee is really strong. Otherwise really nice place for that sweet craving

    Rude service. We are standing right in front of cashier and she's doing some kind of refund but don't get any kind of acknowledgement. Stood for a few minutes just staring at her as she looked annoyed at some refund, didn't say hi or nothing. Never felt so dismissed, she didn't even say sorry for the wait or I'll be with you in just a minute. In my job field I don't get to choose to be rude like this to people, no human decency anymore I guess. Service like this makes me want to not even come in even if I like the food. Super disappointing.

    Mango Bingsoo
    A V.

    Had heard a lot about Bingsoo and decided to try it here. The dessert itself was very disappointing and not sure we will want to try it again. For starters, Sul & Beans was quite crowded and noisy for a Wednesday evening. They were also grossly understaffed so getting one dessert took us 35 minutes of waiting. And the wait was so NOT worth it. The mango bingsoo we ordered was bland and tasteless. Mangoes on top were not fully ripe and not sweet at all. The milk shave ice was plain, again tasteless, just cold. Very disappointed! At least good service might have made the evening better but it was not meant to be. Will not be returning here.

She's warm, patient, and takes your order like she's designing your custom skincare routine. They even speak Mandarin (他们也可以说普通话). Quick facts I picked up from her: * Boba is U.S. sourced * Matcha is imported from Japan * Non-dairy options don't cost an arm and a leg All this... and my drink was under $7 with toppings. (Insane.) If you have kids, that rocking chair is a tactical waiting zone. Trust me--your toddler will be entertained just long enough for you to order drinks for your whole family. Good luck with that btw Drinks (15/10) I got the Green Matcha Latte with Honey Boba and Almost Milk. Here's the kicker: You can taste the difference. No chalky, premixed powders.

TLDR: If you're tired of paying $2+ for subpar add-ons, want premium ingredients without the price tag, and value owners who actually care about sourcing and custom preferences--this is your spot.

One thing that really stood out is that they source their ingredients from Hawaii. Their li hing mui powder is the real deal--the best I've found anywhere in California. The first time I came in, I asked if I could buy some because it was that good. They said they would've loved to, but they didn't have any extra at the time.

Thus I didn't have an issue with it melting too fast. Actually it was only 77 when I ordered it so it didn't melt at all. Parking wasn't too challenging as today is a Sunday. Plus the meters don't run on Sunday so parking is free. We parked around the block in front of J town Pizza. A hop skip and jump.

    After dinner, we found ourselves on the hunt for something sweet. As we were walking by Cafe Maiko,…read morethe matcha-themed menu immediately caught our attention, as none of us can resist a good matcha treat. Originally, I was planning to order a matcha latte, but one person in our group was craving ice cream while another wanted tapioca. Thankfully, we found the perfect compromise: a matcha soft serve topped with tapioca that managed to satisfy everyone's cravings in a single order. I was pleasantly surprised by how bold the matcha flavor was. It had a rich, authentic matcha taste without feeling overly heavy or bitter, and the soft serve itself was smooth and refreshing. The tapioca was another pleasant surprise. Even sitting on top of the ice cream, the pearls remained wonderfully chewy rather than hardening, which is something I've experienced at other shops. Overall, it was a simple treat that really hit the spot. If you're a matcha lover looking for a refreshing dessert, Cafe Maiko is definitely worth a stop.

    Saw they had a stall in the mall decided to try. The girl working the stall seemed annoyed I walked…read moreup even though i was the only one there. Another employee was talking to her on the side of the stall and I felt I interrupted their conversation by trying to order. Got a large double matcha latte with soy milk. I forgot to ask for it half sweet, although the other cafe Maikos I've been to automatically came half sweet. I will say the matcha was incredibly sweet and I could not enjoy this matcha. Plus the matcha had a lot of chunks in it, wasn't whisked well. I literally had to throw the drink away after a few sips. I really did not want to since it was almost $9 but I could not keep drinking it. So sad it went to waste.
