Strawberry bingsoo
Jodie S.

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.

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

Tried the Bingsu today and it was very average honestly. The milk shave didn't have much flavor, and the cheesecake pieces were mostly just crust with barely any actual cheesecake. Kinda disappointed with the quality since this used to be one of my favorite dessert spots.

Always full of interesting people of different race and age! Just love this place. We were 6 having dessert after our dinner nearby . We chose 2 kinds, the mango and the specialty Korean that I always forget the name. Anyway... it was more than enough. Perfect t to end our night !

Green grape, sesame and strawberry
Jennifer L.

Tried sul and beans for the first time with some friends and thought the flavors they had were so solid! Green grape: tasted creamy with fresh grapes all throughout with some aloe chunks inside Black sesame: mochi on top with a solid sesame flavor Strawberry: my personal favorite because there was fresh strawberry and a bit of the strawberry jam or puree inside that doubled the strawberry flavor. We didn't even end up using the extra condensed or evaporated milk. I would definitely come back to try the mango. I was super sad that it was out of stock. If I remember correctly I think each one was around 12$ which is pretty good !

Taro bingsoo and injeolmi toast
Lisa N.

Taro bingsoo and the injeolmi toast! Shared these 2 dishes with 3 other friends and it was the perfect amount. If you're looking for something refreshing and not too sweet, this is for you. The toast is a bit sweet and savory. The bingsoo is perfect for a warm sprint day, or any day in CA Overall, this place is good and solid, but I wouldn't say it's anything incredible. If you're looking for a location to eat not-too-sweet desserts, hang out with friends, or just find something to do, this is one of the places to be. Would I come back again? Sure, but I wouldn't seek it out.

Mango bingsu
Daisy G.

I got the mango bingsu and it was perfect for two people as dessert! It was so refreshing and the mangos were delicious. The bingsu itself was very airy and fluffy! Would come back.

Sesame shave ice
Mimi L.

I wasn't impressed. $15 for a hill of ice, topped by red bean paste and a piece of cut mochi, cascaded by sesame powder and some nuts. All squeezed into a small bowl. The matcha latte tasted just like my home made one, without sugar. It was fine. It was a popular spot attracting younger crowd and family alike. Nice service. The male staff didn't let me tip as first timer. Lovely and robust atmosphere to sit, relax and chat. The social animal side of human's approves, even though you know you are paying hefty price for ice.

Yogurt Berry Bowl
Ken C.

Improved quality Just wanted to provide an update. It's been awhile since I've been here and my last experience was pretty mediocre. Stopped by here again and got the berry yogurt bowl which seemed significantly better than last time. The fruit was fresh and the yogurt infused well with the snow. They also provided the condensed milk on the side for your own titration which was a nice touch. The portion is still on the smaller size, but the price is commensurate for the portion so can't complain too much here.

Sammi T.

Came in at about 9 on a Monday night and ordered the Strawberry and Cheese Bingsoo! Short wait with only a few people in line but quite a few orders stacked up. First time i came here I ended up re ordering so i could try another flavor (back in 2020) today I couldn't even finish the one. Not sure why but the strawberries were really sour and even though the employees were kind enough to give us another cup of the diluted condensed milk- the bing soo wasn't quite sweet enough. The cheesecake was also kind of flavorless. Overall it was pretty busy/loud in here. Service was fine but it seems like the two people on staff were also working the somi somi next door so there was a bit of a wait for everything- dessert then the extra milk then the to go container. Def needs some work to get back to where they were.

Claudia L.

My go-to Korean bingsu place! The shop is nice and bright, located right next to Somi Somi in the Main Street Cupertino plaza. Parking can definitely be tough, especially on weekdays, but there's a lot and garage nearby. It can get super crowded and have long wait times, but I always find that it's worth it. I've been coming here for years and the Oreo bingsu is my go-to flavor. Not only is the bingsu delicious, it's one of the cheaper bingsus in the area. I've noticed other bingsu shops have significantly higher prices, so this stays my go-to.

Amanda M.

I came here one evening and ordered the strawberry cheese bingos to share. The bingsoo is plenty for two people. The bingsoo had fresh strawberries and pieces of cheesecake. Also had some condensed milk you can pour on top to make it a little sweeter. This is a cute shop to go to with friends, family or for a date.

Grace H.

Love bingsoo and Korean shaved ice! This spot is located conveniently in the main Cupertino area with plenty of restaurants nearby. Parking isn't too bad but definitely a walk from the lot. The inside is a bit small and there wasn't AC in the day we went but overall nice spot to go to for a quick treat. We ordered the black sesame and mango bingsoo. The mango had some bits that were super sweet while others were biter just based on the mangos they used, but still was good overall. I think compared to other bingsoo shops, I thought the price was very reasonable. Overall, will be back!

It's also great for sharing a few different flavors with friends. On this visit, I ordered the Strawberry Mango Snow with extra condensed milk. Both were refreshing, flavorful, and not overly sweet. The fruit tasted fresh, and the extra condensed milk added the perfect amount of richness to every bite. Ordering was quick and convenient through the self-service kiosk, and our desserts were ready within just a few minutes. The process was smooth and efficient, making it an easy place to stop by for a quick treat. Another thing I appreciated was the spacious seating area. There was plenty of room to sit and chat, making it a great spot to catch up with friends over dessert. The toppings on the snow dessert were generous and complemented the shaved ice perfectly. Overall, if you're looking for a lighter, more manageable portion of bingsoo that still delivers on flavor, I would definitely recommend checking this place out. The desserts are delicious, the service is quick, and the atmosphere makes it a great place to relax and enjoy something sweet.

We wondered through the town square on a Friday evening looking for a dessert place, and came upon Meet Fresh. It was busy with mostly young kids. You order via a kiosk and wait for your order, and then try to find a table. All the tables were taken, so I just ordered to go. Looking through the menu was a bit overwhelming when you're not familiar with Taiwanese desserts. There's shaved ice (which looks like a huge ice cream sundae), some jelly dishes, tofu dishes, egg waffles, and boba drinks. To each of these dishes, there's additional toppings that you can add. I opted for a matcha egg waffle to go because that's the only thing I was familiar with. The egg waffle is like a regular waffle but with puffy bubbles. It was crispy outside and not too sweet with a matcha flavor. This is a nice place to hang out for the younger folks.

After looking through the menu, I decided to get a Black Sugar Assam, as this seem closest to what I have been getting from other shops. I asked the barista if she could make it less sweet, as there was no option for that when I tried to order on the kiosk. She was very accommodating and said that while this drink didn't have a sweetness level, she could adjust the caramel - but it would change the flavor profile. Since I wasn't a big caramel fan anyway, I decided to go ahead with the adjustment. After paying for my order, I sat down and got distracted by the claw machines in the corner. After giving in (and not winning any cute stuffed animal), my drink was ready. I'm not sure how it would have tasted in its original recipe, but I was not a big fan of the drink itself. I still tasted a lot of sweetness and not much of the assam flavor. I ended up drinking only 1/3 of the drink and then tossing it. Since the altered recipe was already too sweet for me - I think it would have been even more so if I didn't ask for less sweetness. In any case - the barista was friendly and accommodating. Service was quick and the experience wasn't horrible - I just didn't like the drink. I've had drinks I've enjoyed from Teaspoon in the past, so I'll just have to pick something else next time.

Came for the Hair, Stayed for the Boba…read more While my wife was getting her hair straightened at the excellent Maria Hair Studio nearby [Highly recommend if you have 4+ hours to spare as a hobby or BF ] - I was serving my husband duties as "emotional support." But let's be honest--emotional support sitting loses stamina after hour 3+. So after some coffee and laptop work time, I wandered back and thought, "Wifey deserves a post-salon treat." Enter: Lilikoi Boba First Impressions (10/10) You can't miss this spot--nestled in a clean, retail-friendly plaza with plenty of free parking and even tree shade if you time it right. A small win, but a mighty one when you're pacing for hours outside a hair salon. It's also steps away from groceries, shopping, and the aforementioned Hair Olympics next door. Inside & Service (10/10) Super spacious interior with actual comfortable seating (I'm looking at you, rocking chair of dreams--yes, I posted a photo). But the real highlight? Diane, the owner. 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. This was slow-brewed, earthy, and smooth, with boba that actually had bounce and flavor. At this price point? I was expecting okay. I got "Where has this been all my life?" 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. Diane and her husband put love into what they do. That kind of business? Deserves support and a return trip.
