I fully understand inflation and how tough business is right now. That said, walking into a nearly empty restaurant on a Monday at 7 PM (fewer than two tables occupied--do the math) and being charged $23 for a small black sesame bingsu felt less like dining out and more like funding someone's life choices. The taste? Fair. The price? Absolutely unhinged. To top it off, they had the nerve to ask for a tip--for what, exactly? The privilege of eating overpriced shaved ice in a ghost town? Your Yelp reviews already told me what I needed to know. Good luck. You're gonna need it. read more

I came back to Blossom to try their savory foods and they did not disappoint. The portions are still huge and the flavors were also on point Kuro Katsu (4.5/5): My first time trying a squid ink katsu! While the squid ink flavor is subtle, the meat was incredibly tender. The portion size was amazing!! Nabeyaki (4.25/5): A massive bowl with a light, refreshing broth that hit the spot. But I'd say the protein felt a little light compared to the amount of noodles and broth. Overall, a great experience. It's a solid local gem if you're looking for a filling quick meal in pal park read more

quite possibly the best bingsoo we've had in a long while. stumbled into Blossom, purely because it looked pretty from the outside. Surprised by how milky and soft the bingsoo was. The matcha was intense enough and paired super well with the red bean (ratio was balanced -- most places tend to overcompensate by dumping a lot of red bean. not this place). The vanilla ice cream was rich and perfect. Intrigued by the rest of the menu. Will be back! read more

Best Kimbap you can get in the area in my opinion. Really nice atmosphere inside and outside in the back where it looks like they have some outdoor igloos set up. Food we took to go like we normally do, but really love the shrimp tempura Kimbap here. I can finish two myself but worth trying them all here! read more

Didn't expect to like this place so much. Portions are big, prices are fair, and the food feels freshly made. The salmon bowl was massive and very satisfying, and the tonkatsu set easily works as a full meal. Kimbap was fresh and great for lunch, and the curry udon was rich and comforting. Clean space with a relaxed cafe vibe -- I'd come back. read more

Updated my review from 1 to 4. The service went up while a lot and the food quality was pretty good compared to couple of years ago. Don't know what changed, but keep up the good work. Nice ambiance as well. read more

Parking is only street parking. Ordered ddukbboki and tuna kimbap. Mango bingsu for dessert. Mango bingsu wasn't that good kind of disappointed. But their ddukbboki was good! read more

More upscale cafe vibes if you want an elevated bingsoo with more comfortable seating and less crowds/noise. We got the Milk Bingsoo which was the perfect treat that wasn't too sweet or overwhelming, and the Fruit Waffle. The rose syrup is slightly off putting for me but still enjoyed the waffle. They also have an extensive tea menu that's presented very nicely but comes at a price. read more

우동과 돈까스, 가라아게를 먹었는데 정말 맛있었어요! 특히 돈까스랑 가라아게는 강력 추천! 비 오는 날 따끈한 우동 먹으러 오기도 좋고, 더운 여름엔 시원한 빙수 먹으러 오면 딱이에요! Tried the udon, tonkatsu, and karaage, everything was super tasty! Highly recommend the tonkatsu and karaage especially crispy and juicy! Warm udon would be perfect on a rainy day, and in the hot summer, it's a great spot to cool down with some bingsu! Also the chef was really nice! :) read more

My boyfriend and I decided to get dessert nearby after dinner one night. This place was open decently late so we decided to get something to snack on and chat. The menu had a lot of options of both drinks, teas, and desserts. We settled on the strawberry bingsoo. When it was served to us, it was very well presented. The bingsoo came with condense milk, strawberries, strawberry syrup, mochi and caramel syrup. I've never had caramel in my strawberry bingsoo but I can definitely say it was one of my favorite things about this dessert! If I am ever in the area I will definitely be coming again :) read more

As a California native who has eaten her way through Koreatown in LA, I love this place. The food is fantastic. Everything I ate was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. I had the avocado chicken salad, bulgogi kimbap, spicy tuna kimbap, fish katsu, sake salmon oyakodon, udon, and black sesame bingsu. The area is cozy (even the bathroom is really nice!) If I lived in New Jersey, I'd definitely be a local here. Don't hold back when you order!! read more

After hearing that the restaurant had recently changed ownership, our group decided to hold our February gathering here. At 7 PM, nine very lively ladies met for dinner. We were quite a noisy group with plenty of conversation and quite a few requests, but the young owner--who felt like he could be our son's age--handled everything with remarkable kindness and patience. He took our orders thoughtfully, made helpful suggestions, and even surprised us with some generous service items, which made the food taste even better and the whole evening more enjoyable. Thanks to his warm hospitality, our gathering had an especially happy and relaxed atmosphere. We are already thinking that this may become our regular place for our monthly meetings. Every dish we tried was delicious, and we were especially touched by the thoughtful detail of serving Rooibos Key West tea in a teapot and continuously refilling it with hot water for us. Even outside of our gatherings, Blossom has become a place we want to visit whenever we feel like having a nice cup of tea. Thank you for the consistently warm and pleasant hospitality--we truly appreciate it!!! read more

Hands down, some of the best kimbap I have ever had in my life. I'm not joking, I would come back here just for the kimbap. I had the tuna mayo and the cheese spam and oh my gosh it was so good. I also ended up ordering the crab cream croquette and it was fantastic. So creamy! And it came with a great side cabbage salad. X had their karage meal and it came with so many little banchans. Loved it. We didn't have any tea or bingsu, but I think I would love to come back for kimbap and bingsu. Service was very attentive and our waitress was so nice. We were a huge group of 8 and she did wonderfully. read more

The Blossom has always been one of my favorite dessert spots, but I heard their Tteokbokki is amazing, so I had to try it this time. I ordered the Tteokbokki and an iced Americano, and everything was absolutely delicious! The space is cozy, relaxed, and perfect for spending quality time with family and friends. The owner was incredibly kind and explained the Tteokbokki while serving it to us, which made the experience even better. The spice level can be adjusted, they offer levels 2 to 3, and the portion was generous with plenty of ingredients, so it was very satisfying. The Bingsu was out of this world, no words needed! Even though it's a cafe, you can enjoy a proper meal here, which makes it a perfect all-in-one spot. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Tried a few things here and everything was solid. The crab cream croquette was crispy outside and creamy inside a nice way to start the meal. The rose tteokbokki had a rich, slightly sweet sauce and chewy rice cakes. Not too spicy, which I liked. I ended with the strawberry bingsu, and it was probably my favorite. Soft milk ice, plenty of strawberries, and not overly sweet. If you're in the area, I'd definitely recommend giving the bingsu a try. read more

The Blossom has always been a popular post-meal hangout spot for desserts, teas, and coffee. The interior design is trendy and there are many cute items such as teacups and teapots for display at the counter. However, I stopped in for a meal rather than dessert this time and was pleasantly surprised! The donkatsu kimbab is 5/5 - it's an upgraded, fancier version of the childhood classic lunchbox item. It's loaded with a juicy donkatsu and plenty of fresh cabbage along with the typical kimbab items which make for a delicious flavor and enjoyable texture in the mouth. I would stop back in The Blossom to try their other savory food items after this great experience. The desserts are always on point! This time I tried the summer special strawberry bingsoo. It's the most refreshing one I've tried in the area so far. I thought the bingsoo would get boring after a couple bites but there are hidden strawberries and cereals hidden in the snowflakes to keep the flavors diverse. I recommend trying this to anyone stopping in - it's a classic and can't be missed! read more

I have been obsessed with Korean bingsu and trying around - and this bingsu was one of the most meticulously made bingsus recebtly i have tried. Beaufully made with care. I can tell they do care about their desserts with love and passion. I feel korean pride. Great job (I had ones in Singapore, palisades NJ, Ann Arbor in 2023... but this was the best) even much better than Japanese sweets in Manhattan. Food presentation is also great with care. I ordered the snall size and it was way enough for one person. Also had egg sandwich which was also made with care -egg salad with slight onion and carrots. Could be a pinch of salt needed more. I felt traveling for this bingsu from Manhattan was worth it. read more

I went to get bingsoo with my friend on a week night. I've actually tried coming here twice before but both times google would say this place is open but on the door there would be a note that says the store is closed which was quite annoying. I ordered a black sesame bingsoo; the portion was good and it was yummy but a bit pricey. We sat in the back area which was pretty. All the igloos were available but you have to order a certain amount to use them. There are many bingsoo places to try around this area; I think this place is a good option but it wouldn't be my favorite. read more

The most recent one that opened in Broad Ave, Palisades Park. 1) Great & wide tea selection ^^ Love to see one place with such specialty tea choices !!!! 2) Fancy coffee/tea cups 3) Familiar food selections since they have the same menu as Cafe Mocha across the street further down the Broad Ave. towards Columbia Ave. But, the food & drink itself ... not worth the money. The lowest price for a tea is around $9 and can go up to $18 per pot ... such as the white tea we had ordered. The knowledgeable owner will greet you and provide recommendations since she does have the expertise on tea. Feels welcome by the high-end coffee/tea cups & all. But, the shaved ice, kimbab, dessert choices are not worth the money, especially with the per person $20 requirement for outdoor igloo seating. Might be a place to enjoy a cup of tea if you are in the mood. But, I would not be ordering food. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped by earlier today for a quick brunch. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience at The Blossom. We ordered the Blossom Tteokbokki and their donkatsu kimbap. With the tteokbokki, you can select a spice level between 1-3. Initially, we intended on selecting 1, but with the owner's recommendation, we went with 1.5. This was perfect for my boyfriend's spice intolerance. The dish looks and tastes distinctive from other tteokbokki dishes- it contained japchae mandu, regular and cheese tteokbokki, and fish cakes- all topped with these long crisps (fish perhaps?). The donkatsu kimbap was filled with katsu, cabbage, and veggies- and drizzled with katsu sauce. At first I thought the cabbage was egg, and was slightly disappointed to find that the egg was cabbage- however! The cabbage really complements the donkatsu making the kimbap taste light and refreshing. I also really appreciated that the rice layer is super thin :) Overall, we really enjoyed our experience at the Blossom. The owner and wait staff were attentive and sweet. The Blossom also has an extensive menu that we'd love to come back and try (ex: patbingsoo, curry, tea). Additionally, they have an outdoor dining area with heated igloos. read more

The seating area is really cute, the outdoor patio seating and the igloos seem like such a great time during the summer nights and during the winter. I got seated in the back, which was great because it was hot, downside was we were all the way in the back, I think they forgot about us. We only got visited three times, for the menu, to order and the food. I think water is self service, so just be prepared! I didn't know that, and was just thirsty the entire time. The food was delicious. Cheesecake bingsoo is really light and refreshing! The grapefruit mint aide WAS AMAZINg! Definitely worth getting, I'd go back, just for the drink. The Kimbap was different, but wouldn't have again. read more

Very pretty and modern Korean restaurant in New Jersey. I love their Berkshire, very thick, juicy, and crispy. Their tteokbokki is also tasty. All foods are good amount of portion. - Blossom Tteokbokki (5/5): warms up your dishes right in front of you, and different kinds of rice cake. - Anchovy Walnut Kimbap (4/5): very rich taste - Berkshire Tonkatsu (5/5): pork inside is very thick and juicy, and very crispy outside. read more

No doubt The Blossom is a cute place for a snack or dessert. It was fairly new when we decided to visit one summer time this year so there wasnt much crowd yet. The service was good and staff who attended to us was polite. We tried their black sesame shaved ice which was delicious but a bit on the smaller side compared to some others ive tried. Nevertheless, the taste was great as well as presentation. We also tried the milk tea cake which was okay. The buttercream had a nice milktea taste but i found the cake just a teeny bit dry than what i usually prefer. There are more on the menu that I havent tried yet and im sooo willing to give the place another visit. Hopefully soon! read more

Came here on a beautiful Sunday night and the place was pretty packed. So much for social distancing. First impression was that there were a lot of confusion from the staff. There was a random line forming outdoors for some reason but the people ended up dispersing after waiting too long? My husband and I went in and waited for someone to seat us and we stood there for quite some time before someone was able to assist us. There was a lot of staff running in and out of the kitchen to the back outdoor dining area so I assumed they were very busy. We got seat within 10-15 minutes in the back area which everyone was obviously coming to see! A cute little backyard feel, there were 3 large plastic dome seating areas that larger groups were seated in. There were patio furnitures and regular tables to accommodate those who were parties of 2-3. Larger groups such as 4 or more were seated inside the dome which was a really cool concept. They opened up the plastic to get some air in so I think this would be really cool if this was during the cooler months since there's space heaters too. My husband and I only came for dessert...we were given a little piece of paper where you put your phone camera up to a QR code and the menu pops up on your phone - pretty cool! We ordered a single black sesame shaved ice, chamomile tea, and a milk tea cake. Since we only ordered dessert, everything came out quick. Our teas came out in this really cute glass tea pot with loose tea leaves and a cup and saucer. Very Alice in Wonderland. The shaved ice came with condensed milk and sesame on the side for some extra sweetness..they were a little stingy with how much condensed milk they gave us so that could definitely be improved. The milk tea cake was kinda mediocre to me. It wasn't anything phenomenal and for $9/pc, I would've definitely skipped on this one. People obviously come for the atmosphere and to take pictures for IG. It was a really cute backyard feel and the tables were spread out. A lot of people did follow the mandatory masks service and I did feel save enough to bring my 3 month old out. The service was ok. Again, the servers seemed to have been really busy and kind of all over the place, but they were friendly with us I gave it a 3 star because it is kind of pricy and service could have been a bit more organized. A lot of people were focused on serving the back that the register in the front was left unattended to. I'd come back again for dessert. For 1 shaved ice, 2 teas, and a cake, everything came out to $43! If we got food it would definitely have been more! Best time to probably come is on a weeknight hoping there's a lot more people back at work! Ordering these items for take out would not good! read more

The Blossom is currently my favorite outdoor cafe. I've visited a few times, usually grabbing a seat in the back. The outdoor setup in the back is very nice, with igloos you can sit in at a minimum of $80 spent. The menu is mostly desserts and drinks, as expected of a cafe. I've had the strawberry shaved ice, which is large and shareable and makes its price worth it. My favorite menu item is the Dutch cold brew, a thick concentrated coffee kinda like a syrup. Definitely worth visiting if you like enjoying coffee in a nice outdoor atmosphere. read more

I stopped by this cute spot for a little studying. Food: They have a large selection of teas and caffeine beverages along with food ranging from tea-time snacks (fries, kimbap, tteokbokki, gyoza) to full on meals (sandwiches, salads, udon dishes, bibimbap, etc.). While I only ordered the French Earl Grey, I was impressed by the variety in fare here. Service: We were greeted and seated almost immediately upon entry. Since we come to sit and study, the server suggested we sit up front which was no problem. Although we were hanging out for at least 2 hours, the staff was very nice and had our orders to us in a timely manner. Ambiance: I really enjoyed the tea shop cafe vibe they have going on here. It helped that my tea came in this cute pot and cup set. read more

Came for the Matcha Bingsu. My husband and I split the medium size and added strawberries and it was so delicious. The portion was really big but we managed to finish it. I love that it was so creamy and filled with red bean and mochi. The extra creamy matcha to pour on top was an added bonus. Service was fast. The space was clean and comfortable. I like that they even had an outside area to sit. Overall it was super delicious but definitely one of the pricier Bingsus we have had. read more

Average tasting bingsoo at an aesthetically pleasing cafe with nice outdoor area. I personally didn't get to sit outside since it was a rainy day, but it looked nice from the inside and I heard nice things from the friend who brought us here. I saw some igloos outside. That's something, right? We ordered the Matcha Bingsoo, which was filled with red beans and had extra syrup on the side. I would have preferred the red beans to be a bit sweeter and less mushy. The snow ice was good though; sometimes it can be too icy. Overall, the bingsoo was decent. I was probably more peeved with the service here. We were repeatedly asked to order right after we had just sat down, despite us asking to wait for our friend who went to refill his meter first. Service is very dependent on the day and the person you get; I don't really take that into account with the rating. read more

Not sure why this place doesn't have higher ratings. I've been here a handful of times and the service and bingsoo have always been great. I preface this by saying I've only ever ordered bingsoo here, so I can't comment on the other offerings they have. They're a little pricey, but the portions are huge and great for sharing. My favorite is the matcha bingsoo; it has great matcha flavor and comes with red bean and a lot of mochi. A large bingsoo was more than enough to share among 4 people. read more

The bingsoo was yummy, but it was super expensive. There are plenty of other bakeries in the area that offer the same type of bingsoo but for $10 less. I would say you'd be paying for the lux aesthetics of the cafe rather than the food. read more

A great place to come for some food and desserts! Good selection of different tea and coffee on the menu. Their outdoor seating area is also very cozy and COVID friendly! We came here on a weekday afternoon with our whole family and had no problem getting seated at their outdoor area in one of the tents. Very cozy and comfortable! Our kids loved it! Lots of tea and coffee on the menu to pick from. We had the iced mocha and iced green plum tea and both were very refreshing during the hot summer. The portion size of the food here is insane! Everything on the menu was fairly priced and the portion is humongous! We tried their plain curry rice, don katsu, shuyu ramen, chicken tenders, spicy tuna kimbap, and their blossom burger. Everything was well prepared and delicious besides the blossom burger which was mediocre and lacked the charcoaled taste burger patties should have. We wrapped up our meal with a large mango shaved ice and that was yummy and it was huge! 6 people can definitely share it. Our waiter, Andy (maybe the owner or manager) was very friendly and checked on us many times and made sure we were ok. Overall, it was a lovely visit and we shall be back! read more
