For a long time, Sul & Beans has been my favorite spot for authentic Korean bingsoo. Their shaved snow is incredibly light, fluffy, and snow-like, making it melt in your mouth with every bite. I especially love their strawberry cheesecake bingsoo, mango bingsoo, and green tea bingsoo. The portions are generous and are great for sharing. My husband and I always share one flavor per visit. Strawberry cheesecake bingsoo: is a great combination of sweet and tangy, with freshness from the strawberries and richness from the cheesecake bites. Mango bingsoo: tastes delicious, refreshing, and fruity with natural sweetness from the fresh, juicy mango pieces. Green tea bingsoo: has a nice earthy matcha flavor that pairs really well with the sweetness of the red beans and condensed milk. This location in Diamond Plaza has a cozy, casual, and welcoming vibe that makes it a great place to enjoy their desserts. There is a good amount of indoor seating, and the place feels clean. read more

In a plaza with so many food selection.Gets pretty busy during summer nights! Lots of variety, from bingsoo, toast, boba drinks, egg waffles, and taiyaki. Mostly indoor seating which is nice and cool. Order the strawberry matcha bingsoo ($15.99) and injeolmi toast (I think it was $9). The bingsoo is super delicious and creamy. Large enough to share as well. The flavor and berries were fresh too. Simple and delicious read more

We ordered the mango and strawberry bingsoo. Unfortunately, neither dessert was anything particularly special. They were fine, but with so many other bingsoo places in the area, I wouldn't say these stood out. What really left a sour taste was the service. We were charged $35 for the two desserts, which isn't exactly cheap. After the transaction was completed, the owner came over and told us that we'd been charged incorrectly because to-go orders cost more and that there was an additional $2. I understand that mistakes happen, and it's not about the $2. It's the principle and, more importantly, how it was handled. Once we had been given the total and charged, I don't think it was appropriate to come back afterward and ask us to pay more because the business had made an error. If there's a different price for to-go orders, that should be communicated and reflected in the total before the customer pays. Unfortunately, the experience left a bad impression. The desserts weren't memorable enough to make me want to overlook the service, especially with so many other bingsoo options in the area. Most likely won't be back. I'm giving this 3 stars, and honestly, that feels generous. read more

We ordered the banana chocolate and strawberry flavors. I was a little doubtful about the banana chocolate combo at first, but it ended up being really good! Neither flavor overpowered the other, and they balanced each other out nicely. The strawberry is a classic and is always good, and I loved the mochi pieces they had on top. The taiyaki with custard filling was also delicious and a must-order! There's seating inside, but it fills up quickly since this is a popular spot. All the tables were filled shortly after we arrived, and it did get loud. You order at the front and they give you a beeper to let you know when your order is ready. The only downside and why I took a couple stars off was that the bathroom was pretty dirty and seating was a bit hard to find. read more

This was one of the dessert spots in the plaza I had been eyeing for some time. They have so many flavors of shaved snow ice so I will be coming back to try a few other flavors. We ended up getting the mango bowl. I wished the bowls were bigger. But for something sweet right after dinner, the size was actually perfect for a party of 4. They used condensed milk as the sweetener and topped it with a lot of fresh cut mangos. This place has many other flavors, and some very unique. Would recommend checking this place out! The server is nice and parking can get pretty crazy if you come during a rush. read more

Sul & Beans - Strawberry Bingsoo and Mango Bingsoo - Desserts Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

Sul & Beans serves exceptional bingsoo crafted with artistry and impeccable attention to detail. The café features a clean, cozy interior with a handful of tables, providing a comfortable place to escape the heat. Service was friendly and efficient, while each bowl was just as visually stunning as it was delicious. **Fresh Strawberry Bingsoo: 5/5** The Fresh Strawberry Bingsoo was everything I look for in this classic Korean dessert. A generous portion of freshly sliced strawberries blanketed the shaved milk ice, while layers of vibrant strawberry syrup were evenly distributed throughout, ensuring every bite was bursting with bright, fruity flavor. The bingsoo was incredibly light and fluffy, with a delicate texture reminiscent of freshly fallen snow that melted effortlessly on the tongue. Finished with a drizzle of condensed milk and soft, pillowy mochi, the shaved ice was complemented by a delightful combination of creamy indulgence and satisfying chewiness. From the premium ingredients to the meticulous execution, Sul & Beans sets the standard for top-tier bingsoo, leaving a lasting impression long after the final spoonful. read more

Self-serve, once you ordered they give you the ringing machine. Once the order is made, the machine rings, you come to the counter to pick up food. After finished, you returned the tray to designated area. Mango is in season so it was very good, other options such as strawberry cheesecake or yogurt berries also tasty. They no longer gives condensed milk on the side read more

After dinner nearby, we came here for desserts. Even though this place has plenty of parking, with many other businesses around, finding a parking space can be difficult. This is a small place, but they have enough tables for you to enjoy your Bingsoo (Korean Shaved Ice). We ordered a couple of Bingsoos (don't remember the names), but they were so delicious and refreshing. The person helping us, she was nice and friendly. And we didn't have to wait long for our Bingsoos. It was a great way to end the evening with yummy desserts after having our dinner nearby. read more

We come here often. I wish we made a different choice. It was extremely busy and we were told it would be a 45 minute wait to prepare our order. So, I decided to run an errand and come back. I heard the worker mention phone orders so I try thought I would check before we return. When I called back, I placed my order and was told it would be 30 minutes. When we arrived 10 minutes later, I was very, very disappointed that our order was sitting on the counter. It was also packed Togo. I didn't realize that my phone order was automatically Togo. We sat down at a table and ate there... perhaps because it was busy, the tables were not clean. It was warm inside and crowded. It didn't help that I was irritated already. My family loves the injeolmi toast. I figured out how to make it. Maybe I'm going to have to find a substitute for the bingsu... I'm not sure I'm coming back. read more

Sul & Bean is always a great spot when you're craving bingsu. I ordered the fresh strawberry bingsu with a side of mango, and it was the perfect combination. The shaved milk ice was incredibly smooth and melted in your mouth, while the strawberries were fresh and sweet. Adding the mango on the side made every bite even better with a refreshing tropical flavor. The portion was generous and perfect for sharing, but I wouldn't blame you for keeping it all to yourself. If you're looking for a light, refreshing dessert, this place is definitely worth a visit. read more

We tried their new green grape bingsu and it was so refreshing! It wasn't too sweet either. The middle had bits of green grape and honey. Sul & beans is a safe option for dessert. Their portion sizes are huge and it's enough for 4 people to share. Service was excellent! We received our order shortly after ordering. There is plenty of seating inside the store. Parking is in a shared lot with other businesses but that parking lot is always so packed. Would recommend! read more

Service: 2 While ordering was easy, they didnt prepare the order all at once. The bingsoo was made first and sat on the counter, melting, while the toast was being made. Had to go to the counter to get the bingsoo then they said that the toast would come out later. Food: 2 Being generous here. The dessert was mediocre at best. The matcha strawberry bingsoo was basically just ice and bitterness. The matcha was bitter and the strawberries were bitter as well. The only thing saving it was maybe the ice cream. The toast was better since it was actually sweet and tasted dessert like. However, the sweetness only was in the middle of the toast and closer to the edge, it was just bread. Ambiance: 1 It was VERY hot in this establishment. The A/C I guess broke and it was basically an oven in there. Even so, they didn't even try to make it more comfortable with fans, or opening the door to let the cool air of the night come in. Secondly, this is a dessert place with a lot of families coming in to get a dessert. This is not a night club where you blast music so much that I had to yell for my friends, who were sitting across the table, to hear me. It was so loud that You could hear the music distort over the speakers. For what this place is I will not be coming back. read more

We love Sul&Beans but the last time we went there, I was rather disappointed by what we got.. We got the injeolmi combo, and then the mochi was so hard X.X I made my husband complain and they gave us new mochi... But then the whole time I was like. Somethings missing.. And I was like. Isn't it supposed to come with condensed milk?? Idk why we didn't go and extra ask but also.. Something as basic as that shouldn't have been forgotten and the responsibility then be put on the customer : ( read more

My brother and I were craving a sweet treat and this was one of his favorites so I had to try it for myself! There wasn't a wait for us and plenty of seating inside but it was definitely still bustling. We got the earl grey bingsoo and I really enjoyed it! The bingsoo itself was flavored all the way through, soft, and wasn't too overly sweet. My favorite part was the cream that they had on the side. Just a little bit of the cream added so much to the flavor of the bingsoo! My brother also swore by the cheese injeolmi toast so I had to give that a try. I thought it was a bit too salty but there is also some sweetness to it. I also wish that it was warmer because it was room temp by the time we got it. The portions are all huge and definitely shareable! The bingsoo melted before we could finish it but we were definitely full by the time it melted and it curbed our sweet cravings! read more

I was absolutely GUTTED that the mango bingsoo is now seasonal, but totally understand and still ordered here anyways. It was crowded when we came and there was only one person working the counter. It took a while to order because the people in front of us couldn't decide what to get...annoying but what can the staff do? We got the strawberry and injeoimi bingsoo. I thought the strawberry was pretty good IF you ask for the additional milk for the side. I think they're supposed to have that, but we had to go and ask for it. I don't injeoimi, the person I was with does and they fully enjoyed it. Wish there was more mochi considering the portions of the other ingredients. read more

Our family stopped by to grab some bingsoo. Sul and beans never fails to be delicious! It's a milkshake that is light and not overpowering. It's fun to share with family and friends. The flavors that are offered are a good range that will make you come back for more. I'm grateful for the service that is quick and kind. The place is well kept and maintained. We noticed that the team here takes the time to make the food well. There is one restroom that could be better maintained. read more

The strawberry cheesecake bingsoo was very good and fresh, the right amount of sweetness and shareable with 4 people. The fresh mango flavor was not as decadent compared to strawberry cheesecake.

Visited Sul & Beans on a busy weekend afternoon on a super hot day and this is by far one of the best shaved ice/bingsoo shops around. Located in a huge plaza by the 60 freeway in Rowland, parking can be a bit stressful here but there's plenty of people going in and out at all times. There's also underground parking for convenience. Best part is the parking is free although parking spaces are a bit tight compared to your usual parking lots. Inside is very well maintained, moderate amount of seating and somewhat spacious as well. This time around, we ordered one of our favorite bingsoo, the Strawberry Cheese Bingsoo! (Took about 5 minutes for the order to be ready which is pretty fast considering how busy it was.) If you want something fresh, savory, and sweet, this is the perfect bingsoo to get. Filled with fresh strawberries, and topped with plentiful of tangy cheesecake, it's the absolute perfection between sweet & chewy. Strawberries were fresh & very ripe, perfect in season and definitely cut to perfect bite size. Portions are big which makes it perfect as a shareable dish. One of the most refreshing bingsoos around. It's also worth to mention that this location compared to the KTOWN one is a bit smaller, less tables but quality is just as good, if not the same as KTOWN location. Excited to come back to try the various other bingsoo flavors! read more

We got a late-night dessert during the most crowded time I've ever experienced here. However, there wasn't a line at about 9 pm. Also, we luckily found an open parking space. There were still a lot of occupied spaces during this time. I got us a table while my friend ordered. They unfortunately ran out of fresh mango, our first choice for bingsoo. We got the fresh strawberry bingsoo ($13.95) instead, which I've had multiple times before. The strawberries were fresh, and the milk was nicely sweet. While the bingsoo tasted good, it took almost half an hour to get our dessert. The table was also a little sticky. read more

- Parking: Easy, free, open lot - Casual, order at the front and take it to your seat - Service was minimal but friendly I ordered the strawberry shaved ice, the lemon-orange-grapefruit tea, and taiyaki (Nutella, black sesame, hotteok, and custard). For the shaved ice, it was good--lightly shaved with fresh-cut strawberries on top and condensed milk. It's really refreshing and, of course, not too sweet. The lemon-orange-grapefruit tea was a bit of a bust for me. It tasted more like citrus rind and sugar. As for the taiyaki, I think these were the true stars. The fillings were warm, and the bread was perfectly chewy--almost like it was made with mochi. My favorite was the black sesame; it was smooth and lightly sweetened. One was enough for me, especially with the sweetness from the shaved ice. All in all, this place was good, but nothing really stood out and with the price. read more

Sul & Beans in Rowland Heights used to be a favorite, but my recent visit was disappointing. Prices have gone up to around $15-$17 per bingsoo, but the portion sizes and quality have definitely gone down. We ordered the strawberry cheesecake bingsoo and it just wasn't good--the strawberries were yellow, hard, and not ripe at all, and there was barely any condensed milk, so the whole thing tasted bland. For the price, I expected much better quality and a more generous serving. Sadly, I won't be coming back read more

On a Sunday night, we wanted to try some bingsu because it's so hot out. The order came out relatively quick and I was sooo excited because it was my boyfriends 1st time trying bingsu & I raved about it so much from trying elsewhere. I was even being adamant that he could only have 3 out of 6 mochi because I knew it would be too good! Wrong!!! This bingsu had NO taste... literally none. It just tasted like ice & the mochi was also tasteless. The texture was also not soft like expected. This was supposed to be my sweet treat after my meal, but was just a bowl of disappointment. Service was nice but on the way out, we overheard them tell some guests that it would take 30 min for their bingsu order. yikes. read more

My boyfriend and I love this franchise, and this was our second time visiting this location. Our first experience was great, but this visit felt very different. We noticed a new employee being trained by an older female employee. Throughout our visit, she repeatedly spoke to him in a way that came across as harsh and disrespectful, saying things like, "You're doing it wrong" and "Don't you remember?" "Who taught you this" It felt more like public scolding than training, her tone and the employee looked visibly embarrassed. The way she went about teaching was unprofessional and shows a bad image to the brand. The food was great, but when we asked about getting extra corn flakes, the new employee checked with her, and she responded, "It's not free, you need to charge here" and she stops what she's doing and gets in front of him and puts the amount on the iPad and walked away for him to do it. I immediately said forget it. Our issue was never about paying for the extra topping, we completely understand additional items may cost extra. It was the way she spoke to him in front of customers that felt unnecessary. We also noticed a similar tone when another customer asked for a bag for a Togo trip and she said you have to pay for the bag. Overall, the atmosphere felt unwelcoming because of how the employee was being treated. We enjoy this brand and wanted to share this feedback because it left a negative impression on an otherwise good experience... read more
