    No wait on a Thursday evening but packed inside. Ordered the strawberry bowl. The food was ready in 7min. The flavor was good, but must admit paying $18 for getting a bowl of mostly shaved ice a rip off. Love to know what their margins are!!! Don't think we will return to try anything else.

    Two bowls of mango ice and a watermelon bowl.

    Wow, the shaved ice is so fluffy it's like fresh snow flakes. We had both the mango and watermelon and they were superb! The fruits were so fresh and sweet and the portions were just right to share with several people. There were different condiments added in each bowl that we couldn't quite figure out but they went well with the fruits

    No frills Korean shaved ice spot in Santa Clara! Quick self service ordering process, our two choices were out pretty quickly despite the cafe being almost full. Ordered the traditional injeolmi Bingsoo and the mango cheesecake Bingsoo. Both were very tasty, light and fresh! Perfect for sharing with a group of friends.

    Had chicken and came here for dessert. The premium strawberry sulbing was so so good. However for twenty bucks I was expecting the size to be a bit bigger. The strawberry lemonade was not worth it, just jam and sparkling water. Lots of seatings, large area

    Another Apple Mango Cheese Sulbing

    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.

    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!

    Tried Sulbing recently and I've already been twice. The strawberry sulbing has a ton of strawberries and red bean paste. The texture of the ice was very nice. We also enjoyed the toast. Nice ambiance

    Chocolate Brownie Sulbing

    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.

    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!

    This is one of my favorite sweet treats I've had! Thought the line was a bit long, but it came in a timley manner!! We only waited about 5 min and the presentation looked amazing! 10/10 reccommend

    The workers here are nice and friendly. You have to use the kiosk to order. I came late so a lot of stuff was sold out. Their restroom are dirty. The tables are also dirty, I had to tell my wife to have someone to come clean the table. The strawberry sulbing was so good and delicious not even sweet. I didn't like the Crème Brûlée because they didn't really toast the top. The matcha cream foam drink didn't taste good. 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

    Green Tea Sulbing
    Tiffany L.

    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.

    Red bean and chocolate pistachio

    Tried this place with some friends and it was so yummy! There were five of us and we shared the two servings which was perfect. The parking in that area is always packed but we were able to find decent parking. It was super busy so the bathrooms and tables available were limited. Great for hot days!

    Do they accept cash?

    yes

    Are there nondairy options?

    I was also looking for non-dairy options a few months ago. I don't recall too many because my wife and I shared something with milk in it.

    It closes at 10, but when is last call?

    9:15pm! They have a sign posted on their front door the last time I was there which was pretty recent.

    What's the ice cream/sorbet flavor on the mango cheese? I had it yesterday and it wasn't vanilla. Maybe apple or lime? It was slightly tart.

    What are the hours for this place?

    12 pm- 10 pm but the last call is at 9:15 pm

    Anyone know if they use Alphonso mangoes or regular mangos in their mango bingsoo?

The service is really prompt, and there's a button to ask for help when you're ready to order or want a refill on banchan, for the check, etc. The interior is nice, modern and slightly upscale. They asked us if we preferred a bbq table and we said we didn't and were led to a bench table. I got the galbitang (the special magnum galbitang was already sold out for the day), and my friend got the chef's special rice cake and dumpling soup. Both came out perfectly hot but not burning, and were the comforting, rich, savory and flavorful stews that we were craving. The galbitang had a generous amount of rib meat that was tender but not falling apart, and the perfect amount of glass noodle. The broth was clean and savory, and I really enjoyed the bits of jujube. I tried a bit of the rice cake and dumpling soup as well, and the dumplings were super large with a soft tofu? filling that was really enjoyable with the creamy soup. Special shoutout to the banchan - one of which was raw marinated crab which was super sweet and tasty with the rice. I also really appreciated the barley tea and the sweet pumpkin soup at the end for dessert, which really round out the experience. There's also a pumpkin porridge in the beginning as an appetizer, but I didn't love it because it had a bit of a raw rice flour type flavor to it. Overall, Chungdam is a classic that serves great, flavorful and comforting food, with excellent service and is a great, well rounded experience!

RESERVATION/HOST I made a reservation for 3 at 7:30PM on a Saturday evening. I'm glad I planned ahead because, upon entering, there were about 5 parties waiting to be seated. My party was greeted warmly and was quickly seated after my reservation was confirmed. SERVICE Very prompt and professional service. The BBQ meats were cooked consistently, and every request was accommodated. FOOD Chungdam focuses on delivering high-quality meats for your Korean BBQ experience. The banchan was delicious! I was surprised that three spicy raw baby crabs were served. To be honest, it was my first time trying it despite hearing about the hype. It paired pretty well with rice. The dressing and condiments were perfect. I appreciated that salt was provided since we ordered all non-marinade meats. The fermented bean curd dip was my favorite. The seafood pancake we ordered took a bit longer to arrive, but it was delicious and crispy! The seafood was cut into perfect bite-sized pieces, so you get seafood in every bite. -USDA PRIME 차돌박이 100z - Cha-Dol (Beef Brisket, Thinly Sliced) -USDA PRIME 생갈비 16oz - Seng Galbi (Non marinaded Prime short rib) -Seafood Pancake Overall, the Korean food was delicious, and the customer service was excellent.

I particularly enjoyed the kimchi and had it refilled during dinner, so I decided to buy a 16oz jar to enjoy at home.

It's quite large with many tables and chairs inside, and it's nice and brightly lit. Service was quick and efficient, and they moved us to a larger table after hearing how much we were ordering We definitely overordered and got a seafood pancake to start, the smaller size of bossam, a kimchi tofu soup, and a beef bibimbap. The bossam took a while to come out, and by then we were already pretty full off of the pancake, soup and bibimbap. Service sizes are generous, and this definitely would've been enough for 4+ people to share. There was a great assortment of different banchan - my favorite is the jelly! The pancake was nice and crispy, with a good amount of seafood, the bibimbap had a great amount of crispy rice at the bottom and the tofu soup was comforting and exactly what we were looking for. The bossam had a lot of meat - I kind of wished there was more radish and napa to go with the meat, but it was tender, not too fatty, and satisfying. We had plenty of leftovers to take home. Jang su jang is still a classic staple, and has a delicious offering for almost any korean craving you could want.
