I was super excited to visit Sulbing as this was my first time trying bingsoo! We initially went last night only to find out they stop taking orders at 9:15 pm so keep that in mind. We ended up going again the next day to try it. We ordered the Premium Strawberry Sulbing and the Mozzarella Injeolmi Toast. The bingsoo was delicious and not too sweet, loaded with fresh strawberries and a big cheesecake wedge. It's especially great for a hot summer day. The portion size was good to share between two people. The toast was yummy but does have a sweeter taste profile due to the honey drizzle on top. Overall a great experience! We'll definitely be coming back! read more

Sulbing - Premium Strawberry Sulbing and Mozzarella Injeolmi Toast - Desserts Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Yeah Sulbing is on the pricier side and it's always packed. Parking is annoying, even after Beque closed (RIP). The bingsoo is admittedly some of the best in the Bay Area. But if there's nowhere to sit, it's hard to enjoy it. Wish the venue was a bit bigger. Looking back, If you're really craving Korean shaved ice, this place is solid, just try to come during off hours. read more

Sulbing is a Korean dessert café best known for bingsu, a shaved ice dessert made with an incredibly fine texture that feels closer to snow than traditional shaved ice. We walked into a clean, modern space with a casual café feel that works well for stopping by after a meal or meeting up with friends for something sweet. The shop focuses on creative variations of bingsu with toppings ranging from fruit to chocolate, matcha, and other dessert-inspired flavors, and the layout encourages lingering over a shared dessert rather than rushing through a quick stop. The biggest highlight is the texture of the shaved ice itself. The ice is extremely soft and light, melting quickly while still holding the flavors from the toppings and condensed milk. We ordered the Injeolmi Sulbing, which showcases the more traditional side with nutty flavors, and the combination of the fine ice, chewy rice cake, and nutty powder created a dessert that felt both refreshing and satisfying. The Tiramisu and Chocolate Brownie Sulbing turn it into a much more indulgent experience, with richer flavors that feel closer to a full dessert than a light treat. The presentation is impressive, with each bowl arriving looking carefully composed, and the layers of toppings are distributed well enough that you get a good mix in every spoonful. The portions are also a major part of the appeal. A single bingsu is easily shareable, making it a good choice for groups or anyone looking for a dessert to split after a meal. We found that sharing worked well, as the portion was generous enough to satisfy two people without feeling like we were missing out. Beyond bingsu, they also offer items like toast and other sweet treats, which give the menu more variety and make it a place you can visit even if you are not in the mood for shaved ice. The main thing to keep in mind is that the experience depends heavily on the flavor you choose. Some versions rely more on the toppings for their flavor, while others feel more balanced throughout. The presentation is impressive, but certain options may feel less satisfying if you expect every bite to have the same intensity as the first. The fruit-based versions, for example, rely on the freshness of the fruit to carry the dessert, while the chocolate and tiramisu versions have a more consistent richness from the base itself. Sulbing is a great spot for trying Korean-style shaved ice. The unique texture, large portions, and variety of flavors make it stand out from typical dessert shops, especially if you enjoy lighter desserts with creative toppings. The balance of refreshing and indulgent options across the menu gives you room to explore different styles on repeat visits, and the quality of the ingredients makes each bowl feel considered and well composed. read more

A friend told me about this bingsoo chain from Korea! He said that the American options here are better though... so I had to give it a try myself! My go to is the Mango Cheese Bingsoo. The condensed milk and snow-like texture of the ice are satisfying. Overall, it's a large portion and the fruits are always sweet. Not bad! read more

On of the most expensive sulbings I've had not sure if it's because it's healthier because of the yogurt but it sure was tasty. Efficient self service kiosk . very much a hangout spot in the evenings especially during the summer. when it gets crowded, you may have to wait a little bit for a seat , hover around a table that looks like they're going to leave. This is an order and pay at the front and seat yourself establishment. Would definitely come back read more

The bingsoo at sulbing is always delicious. They use frozen sweet milk, not water ice, so it's very fluffy and sweet. The only thing I dislike about coming here is that it's very busy and crowded, so sometimes it can be a battle to find a seat, and the tables are usually not that clean. read more

Sulbing is as close I can get to the bingsu in Korea. The strawberry is my go-to, but the syrup can make it way too sweet at the end. The Injeolmi was perfect, just don't inhale it. The melon one is never available when I'm there and the wait time is pretty long. My order has taken over 45minutes before .... read more

Amazing bingsu in Santa Clara! Parking can be a little bit difficult, but they have plenty of seating area, which is nice. We enjoyed injeolmj with the red bean. It wasn't too sweet and injeolmi really came through. The strawberry was also amazing, the strawberry was sweet and they give you a bunch of fruit! There was a mochi inside as well, which was a little bit off but overall Still delicious! read more

My wife and I visited Sulbing and ordered the Mango Cheesecake Sulbing and the Mozzarella Injeolmi Toast. Ordering is done through a self-service kiosk, and our food arrived within a reasonable amount of time. Both items were delicious. The Mango Cheesecake Sulbing was refreshing and not overly sweet. The shaved ice had a smooth, milky texture that melted perfectly in every bite. The Mozzarella Injeolmi Toast was excellent as well, it reminded me of a grilled cheese sandwich, but even better, with a unique sweet-and-savory flavor combination. Seating is first come, first served, so finding a table can be a challenge when the cafe is busy. Plenty of space between seats. The biggest downside is the parking situation, which can also be difficult during peak hours. Still, the food makes it well worth the visit. read more

Mango Cheese bingsu - The mango to ice ratio was great. Most of the flavor was on the bottom, so had to mix it well. The mangoes were more sour than sweet, maybe not in season yet. Injeolmi toast - I liked the chewiness of the mochi inside the bread. However, I personally am not a fan of dry powder and the toast was basically covered in it. Ambiance - We came here on a Friday evening after dinner and it was packed. We had to wait a bit for a couple to leave so we could take their table. The cafe is pretty spacious but just expect a crowd, and I'm sure even more in the summer. read more

I would say the price is good however it's not the best bingsu I've had. Maybe it's because we got the chocolate but I wasn't feeling it. I wished it had more toppings or something inside that was sweeter, but mostly it just tasted like chalky cocoa powder. Not very sweet and not in a good way. I usually wouldn't get this flavor and would get fruit so maybe that makes the difference. Was it the worst? No. The shave ice part was delicate and the portion was what you would expect. But I wouldn't attempt any chocolate ones again if I did come back here. It's lacking something. As for the inside, it's a spacious place with plenty of seating which is nice, although the music feels a little loud. The service is pretty straight forward here as you can order from a kiosk or up front, and there are screens that show which order number is finished around the restaurant. The bathroom was clean. Overall, wouldn't say it's bad but I'm not sure if I can recommend. read more

I tried the Green Tea Chocolate Sulbing: my favorite parts were the green tea ice cream, chocolate brownie and cookie chunks, and matcha powder. The service was a bit slow.

No wait on a Thursday evening but packed inside. Ordered the strawberry bowl. The food was ready in 7min.

My go-to bingsoo spot whenever I had dinner at Santa Clara and my group of friends craving for something sweet after. Sulbing is actually pretty popular chain in Korea and known for their Korean style shave ice (bingsoo), so I'm very happy that they opened a store here in Bay Area. There are a lot of parking spots within the plaza, the store itself is pretty spacious, and the decoration is quite simple. I usually place my order at the kiosk, staffs were friendly and wait time is about 10-15 minutes, could be longer on the weekend. They have a fixed menu but once in a while there will be a seasonal item likes Melon, Watermelon or Pistachio Strawberry. My favorite is their Apple Mango Cheese Sulbing, the shave ice is smooth, creamy, cheesecake bites and mango sauce were delicious, but the ice cream on top was alright, a perfect dessert to cool you down on a hot day. But if you prefer something warm, I would recommend their Honey Butter Bread, crunchy thick cut of bread with creamy whip and sliced almond on top. Overall, it is a great spot for Bingsoo and hanging out with friends. read more

Went to sulbing on a Saturday night, it was busy but still able to grab a seat as parties left. We got the strawberry bingsu, comes with condensed milk already drizzled. The strawberries I think they toss it in some sugar as the strawberry on top was actually tart. I love the bingsu, it's soft and milky, very consistent here. We tried the dubai cookie but found it underwhelming. I think it was $7? Looking forward to the melon bingsu when it's back in season! read more

My family and I stopped by Sulbing after having dinner not to far from here. It had been years since my last time enjoying Korean shaved ice and since it would be a first for my little monster, we eagerly visited. The parking situation is disastrous to say the least. With all of the neighboring businesses, the lot is quite small to house all of the foot traffic coming in. Driving around in circles is a guarantee and I've never been able to locate any kind of street parking. Be patient and throwing in a quick prayer wouldn't hurt. Our weekday [Tuesday] visit occurred at about 6:30pm with only 2 other parties dining. Seating was plentiful and the shop was spacious. The menu provided differed from what was viewed on Yelp so i'd like to assume the offerings change throughout the seasons. Great because seasonal ingredients are utilized which avoids artificial flavorings but we weren't able to get the item my 6 year old wanted. We settled with: *CHOCOLATE BROWNIE SULBING *MOZZARELLA INJEOLMI TOAST **It was disappointing for Sulbing to have sold out on the honey butter bread and not being able to try the vanilla latte + cloudy latte due to the machine being broken.** The chocolate brownie sulbing was good but was skimpy on the brownie aspect. The shaved ice is light, fluffy, and perfectly sweeted with condensed milk. Each spoonful melts in your mouth. The brownie version was okay but I'd prefer a fruit version of this. Mozzarella injeolmi toast is essentially two pieces of toast sandwiching mochi center and topped off with cheese. Do keep in mind this dish is sweet as it is drizzed with a sweetener. Interesting but I wouldn't feel the need to order this again. 3 stars overall. These beauties take a bit of time to make so come here anticipating a wait. I don't even want to imagine the wait during a peak hour visit. Nevertheless, the shop is super cute and very clean but our order just didn't hit the spot. I'd come back again during the summer to enjoy the fruit sulbings- primarily the melon. read more

Went here for our son's birthday as the first stop before heading to Top Golf and to my mind, this isn't too early to have dessert. Service is order at the kiosk and they'll call your number on top of the screen. 1pm on a Sunday afternoon, they were starting to get packed by 2:30. It was worth the wait! You can taste the freshness in every bite. It's very spacious inside, we spread out the kids in the back. Very family oriented. Love the strawberry with the cheesecake. Almost didn't finish it even though I shared it with Bae. How in the world does anyone eat this all by themselves?!? lol We will come back during the summer and indulge read more

Sulbing - Desserts Near Me - Santa Clara, California

My new favorite dessert spot! This place has such delicious options and great music. I visited on a Tuesday evening, and the store was almost completely empty. There are plenty of tables and lovely fairy lights that add a warm ambiance to the store. You order through a kiosk, and a big TV screen lets you know when your order is ready. Since there were no customers, my order arrived extremely quickly. I tried the strawberry sulbing with yogurt balls, and it was phenomenal. It was probably my favorite sulbing I've ever eaten. The sulbing was light and fluffy, a nice contrast to the sour strawberry pieces. The sulbing also contained pieces of sweet cheese. The highlight for me was the chocolate covered yogurt balls. The yogurt was perfectly thick and tart, and it was so fun to crack the chocolate shell. I was really impressed with the portion size. While the sulbing wasn't cheap, I think 3-4 people could easily share one bowl. There were so many other delicious options, ranging from mango to pistachio chocolate sulbing. Looking forward to my next visit! read more

I can barely taste the matcha but mostly the milk which made me sad that I want to go to Izumi Matcha to get my drink read more

Bingsu virgin here. Never heard of it and can only compare it to Hawai'i local style shave ice. We arrived at 8:38 pm and most of the menu was already sold out. At first glance, expensive! Each couple ordered their own and the husbands were in sticker shock and complaining about paying so much for ice... When it arrived, wow the portion is huge! Why didn't we order one to share for the six of us? The fresh fruit in ours was tasty. Once past the layer on top it was literally just fine white ice. I didn't pay, and I enjoyed the many laughs we had while the jokes kept coming one after the other. read more

I came here on a weekday at 6PM since I was craving bingsu. It was not too crowded and the person at the counter was helpful in recommending some of their popular flavors. However, it did take 15-20 minutes to get our order, which was a longer wait time than usual just for one bingsu order. There are a lot of tables in the store to sit at to eat and hang out with your friends, so I recommend this place if you have a large party! I ended up getting the Green Tea Sulbing. This came with green tea flavored shaved iced, 2 ice creams, and mochi pieces. I enjoyed the bingsu because it was on the less sweet side and the green tea flavor was definitely rich and intense. I shared this with 3 other people and it was the perfect amount for a late night sweet treat! This place does not have a lot of options, as they mainly just have matcha, strawberry, chocolate, and a few other flavors, so I hope to see them come out with new flavors in the future. read more

Sulbing - Green Tea Sulbing - Desserts Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Bingsoo was light and refreshing and I enjoyed the fresh strawberries on the premium strawberry sulbing that I shared with my friends. But, at $26 (after adding injeolmi + tax + tip) for one, it felt overpriced for what we got. The slice of cheesecake included with this sulbing was pretty small and really icey. The addition of injeolmi was an extra $2 and we weren't given that much either. Shaved ice isn't usually my go-to dessert but I can see this spot being a good option for bingsoo lovers. The space itself is very roomy with plenty of seating for larger groups which is a plus. Still, I'd recommend this place if you enjoy bingsoo. read more

Taste: 10/10 Service: self service Environment: ~typical cafe nothing special not too loud too. We got the mango sulbing. Mango tasted fresh and the bingsu is made differently from other places.

Everything is tasty and "not too sweet". read more
