Mango and melon shave ice

### milkteajunkie — 4.3/5 · Jul 19, 2025
Melon bingsoo was refreshing and delicious! However, a bit pricey for what you’re actually getting. Shop is a bit crowded and could be cleaned as tables are not cleaned after guests.

### jasongodai — 3.3/5 · Nov 6, 2025
The bingsoo here is pretty, but it was just ok. Maybe it was just this location.
