This is shaved milk and not snow cones like what I thought. Its pretty neat. Theres no samples so you just have to pick the right flavor. I got cookies and cream. It was good. I recommend a mini size if youre eating alone. Its good so Ill go back

The times I’ve come by, I’ve always enjoyed what I get. It’s a clean little spot, nice music, and delicious dessert! They tend to have flavors that anyone could enjoy, definitely suggest it! I will say, if you’re by yourself get a mini size, the small is pretty big enough for two!!😅

We always stopped by here with friends to hang out after dinner for a refreshing bingsu. We got the black sesame & red bean and strawberry mango, both were delish!!!!

Got the mango strawberry bingsu . It’s great on a hot day. Not sure if all bingsu are supposed to have condensed milk. Then again there may be some condensed milk and I’m just not noticing it. At another location there was a lot of condensed milk.

I only made a quick stop to grab some Taiyakis (Nutella was my favorite), but I really wished I had tried one of their bingsu. Definitely plan on making a return trip.

We were very disappointed with the taiyaki at Snow City. The first one came out quite burnt, so we sent it back thinking it was just a mistake. However the second taiyaki was not much better at all. We will not be returning.

I wish they had some more traditional hawaiian flavors to mix in with the korean flavors.

First time trying korean ice cream, it is amazing! I paid $15 for a small strawberry & mango cup (i believe it’s a 8-12oz) and a small mango smoothie. Come here to quench your sweet tooth cravings!

Their strawberry mango bingsu was delicious!

My first bingsu visit ever and honestly it was all really good. The place is well lit and welcoming albeit a little cold inside after a while. Ordering is very easy and quick. Pricing is fair and I recommend that you split a dessert between two if youve already had dinner prior. The serving sizes are quite big. Fruit toppings are fresh and so good. The mango is by far my favorite. It was buzzing with people when we showed up and people were coming in all evening. I cant complain at all. Definitely recommend you visit!

Quite disappointing. The ice cream had a frost bitten taste for both orders made and the Taiyaki was burnt and not good at all. Was flavorless except for the frost bite taste.Ice cream left a terrible after taste. Not ever returning. Way overpriced for terrible shaved ice that tasted old.

Taste was fine but the wait was way too long for shaved ice/snow. Overall, it just wasnt worth the price. I will not be returning.

Review №14

The bingsu is delicious, it has such a unique taste and the fruits on top are so tasty. The serving sizes are great and the place is very cute. There could be more seating, it gets pretty full but the orders are made quickly and they are with the wait. This is an all around good place for dessert and anyone with a sweet tooth.

First time I went here. Don’t even know what this place serves and this very nice lady right here explain to me what they have. She has very good sense of humor and very pleasant to be welcomed at this cafe.Didn’t really care for much of the bingsu but will definitely come back to try other things and see her again cause she was very pleasant. Thank you.

Review №16

It was pretty good. Ive never had this bingsu stuff so i have nothing to compare it to. Although its shaved ice it tastes quite like ice cream. Although if you dont stir your cup up; at the bottom it tastes like flavored ice. Its quite expensive tho ($8 for a small), although even a small is enough for two adults to share. I have been here during the pandemic beginning (2019-2020) and they was closed often. I think there back at full capacity now tho. I read all the reviews and saw none of the bad stuff said. I gave 3 stars because it was good, yet not good enough to make the drive (35 mins) to buy again.

We always enjoy the shaved ice here. The Mango Bingsu is a favorite and tastes great!!!

Review №18

Pretty tasty little place. Fiancé and I shared a mango and strawberry shaved ice. It was delicious, and the staff were friendly. Would give 5 stars but they don’t really have a lot on their menu, it feels like. Also, while the shaved ice as a whole was delicious, I didn’t much care for the strawberry syrup they put on it. Kinda tasted like the strawberry syrup you put in milk. Also a little pricey.

Review №19

This place looks absolutely delicious, and Id still like to try it out sometime. However, we went on a Monday night, where they dont open until 7pm. Unfortunately that meant waiting over 30 minutes, but we decided to do so. More unfortunate, they never opened at 7pm, and still hadnt by 7:45pm when we finally gave up and went across the highway to Wicked Snow. Snow City Cafe is the cheaper of the two, but Wicked Snow was delicious and a great choice. Perhaps Ill give Snow City Cafe another shot, but definitely not on a Monday.

Review №20

Came here first time in 2 years or so. It was one of better Korean bingsu places in town. Not any more. Maybe ownership chnaged. Bingsu is not too difficult to make. How to understand how they make bingsu like this. And condenses milk all over inside and outside the bowl. I was happy that there were not many people but now i understand why. Go to other places for bingsu.

Hi
Review №21

This is for the first time that we have tried the shaved ice cream and we got here just by chance. It was delightful experience with flavourful ice creams. We have tried Mango Cake Bing Su, Mango and Strawberry, Oreo with cheese cake as topping and i must say we were really impressed and really liked it. The sweetness is just up to the mark i.e. It was not too sweet not too blunt. Flavour hots the bulls eye though the cheesecake was bit dry and the crust was little stiff but we can ignore that for now.The small size bowl was good enough for at least two people and large i think for four😂😂We would like to try their shakes and coffee next time as it really looked tempting.The one thing we would definitely want to try the fish shaped teriyaki unfortunately they were out of stock at that time but my wife is fan of that we would gonna try that in future.The ambience it really cool and you feels like you are sitting in tomb of dessert.

My favorite bingsu place, I’ve tired a few and always come back here! My favorite is the Oreo bingsu.

The shaved ice is finer than other places offering similar deserts. A bit pricey and location is small. Fruit is quite sour, far from ripening.

Review №24

OOOOEEEEMMMMGEEEEEEEE. LIKE, THE BEST EVER. JUST GO!!! I got shaved ice with strawberries and mango and cheesecake. I almost bought a second just to savor more flavor. The most fresh fruit and the most creamy shaved ice. I will def be back. Great service, nice clean restrooms, beautiful ambience. Can eat outside. Only downside is the fake whipped topping. But I just ordered without and glad I did bc the freshness deserved to deliver on its own! Beats a snowcone anyday. I will have definitely have food dreams about this one!

Review №25

We went to Gen for lunch and then walked down the strip. We walked in here to check it out and I noticed they had taiyaki!! Taikyaki is one of my favourite Japanese treats so of course I HAD to get some. I got the traditional red bean. I think it was about $4? A little pricy, but it was good. They call it “French taikyaki” because the pastry is made with croissant dough which made a super interesting flavour. It wasn’t my favourite combination, but I would eat it again. I didn’t have a chance to try anything else but it was a cute place and I’d definitely come back!

Review №26

Never had this type of shaved ice / ice cream before. It wasnt too sweet which is what I was worried about. Its sweet though Dont get me wrong. The guy helping was awesome had a great inviting personality. He gave us a little education on what he was making as well. we will definitely go back to take friends whove never had it.

This place was amazing! The shaved ice had very generous portions of fruit. The honeydew milk tea also very delicious.

Review №28

What a yummy and different dessert. I got the fruity pebbles medium and it was big enough for too. The texture is awesome and it’s not too sweet. The only con to this place is the wait time. I went with a group of 8 of us and it took 30 minutes for our orders to get out. Don’t go if your in a rush or with a group of people.

Review №29

The concept was cool. Like literally eating snow and adding fruit or some flavoring. Fun to try! Caught me off guard though, was thinking shaved Hawaiian Ice. Nice touch with the Tayaki in combo with the neighboring store nearby (Somi-Somi). I did enjoy the loud music, especially had some good slow jams from the 90s. LOL I sooo appeciated the Selena songs.

Review №31

Not too bad. We had the ingeorimi and red bean bingsu. I was expecting the old school shaved ice base, but it was the bingsu that a lot of the restaurants are doing now. May be adventurous and try something different next time...

Mannnnnn. I have been trying so many bingsu places. Snow cafe has the best bingsu so far. The combination is a boom

Review №34

I love how the bingsu here is made with shaved frozen milk rather than just shaved ice. Much creamier and tastier imho. Portion is great for sharing so do bring your friends along.However dont order the taiyaki - too much flour, too oily (as if it has been fried twice), and too little filling. If you want Taiyaki go to the stand inside Hmart.

Disappointed at the amount and quality of fruit added to the bingsu. I spoke to the person taking the order but she just brushed my concern aside with a this is usually how much fruit we put in

I had their cookies and cream snow cone. The ice has a milky flavor definitely unique and delicious. If you want to try something different this is your place to go.

Review №39

Delicious. Its not really shaved ice imo. Snow is a very appropriate description. A snow textured cream. Rather than shaved ice with flavoring or condensed milk on top, the snow itself is sweet and creamy. Theyre generous with the fruit. Not only is there fruit on top, but its also on the bottom which was a pleasant surprise. The small is not small. It was a good size to share between 2 people. Will come back again.

Ni
Review №40

This place is so yummy and a perfect fix for the Texas heat! The regular size is honestly big enough to share between two people in my opinion. The fruit is always fresh and sweet and the shaved ice isn’t hard and crunchy like most places. Its definitely worth trying if you’re in the area.

Review №42

Snow city is very different than any other place for sweets. If you like snow cones this is almost like that but I believe it is much better. We have had the mango and the strawberry and mango. Both are very delicious. Inside is clean and the person working is a very nice person and makes the treats amazing.

Bl
Review №43

Beautiful treats that are wonderfully unique if you arent accustomed to their offerings, or if you dont typically stray too far from the standard American fare. Very refreshing desserts that dont leave you feeling guilty afterwards, despite some rather large portions available. Getcha some Bin Su!

It’s ok, but I was hoping for the very frozen “ice”. Fruit topping was fresh and small size was adequate for 2 to share. Price for small is $7.95 and large is $9.95

Review №55

Drove 20 minutes to come by a shaved ice for my girlfriend and I. When I got here he told me cash only. I had $10 cash and the large is $9.95 + tax. He told me they were only accepting cash and there was because their Wi-Fi was down so they couldn’t take credit cards. I asked to get a large for $10 and he said he couldn’t do it because after tax it was over $10. I’ve think they should’ve been more accommodating considering my girlfriend and I have to split a small because their credit card machine isn’t working. Not good customer service. I expect better than that

Review №57

The register guy was absolutely rude. He basically told me to leave after I asked if I could pay with cash and card LOL said “you know what you can leave” that’s fine because your pathetic 3 options in flavors and your only 2 size options are not worth it anyway! Get you a full menu sweetie. I was showing my niece and nephews around but took them to 85c instead where they’re fully stocked with options so thank you! Thank you for verbally kicking me out, did me a huge favor!!!

This place is fantastic! Pro-tip, let the ice melt some so the flavors mix with the toppings better. The only thing is I wished they had a kids or mini size because even the small size is huge. Easily shareable between two people.

Review №70

Have been here several times, usually getting the hazelnut French taiyakis. This was the first time I got the bingsu, which is their shaved ice dish. I got the mango and strawberry one. The mango was a little firm and not as sweet as I would have liked, but still good. The strawberry was tart. All together with the sweet silky shaved ice though, it was still really good and worth the trip. Very surprised and really enjoyed it.The staff was also very friendly and I have not had an issue here yet. Check it out for either treat, its definitely worth it.

Review №74

This place is a guilty pleasure. The texture of the shaved ice is just like snow and it tastes like condensed milk. They try to cover every visible inch of “snow” with whatever topping you choose, and it’s great. They also serve red bean and Nutella taiyaki made with puff pastry instead of the traditional batter. It’s a nice, crispy foil to the cold desserts they provide.

Na
Review №75

The milky shaved ice is to die for. Its not overly sweet and just hits the right spot for dessert. Even if I am suffering from food coma, I will always have room for Snow City. And this is coming from someone that doesnt even like sweets that much. My go-to is the Mango Strawberry, the mangos are fresh and the strawberries are always so sweet.

Absolutely delicious!Never had anything like this and I just completely loved it. I got the Strawberry/Mango Bing Su and it came out perfectly with a nice large portion. I ate this when it was 25 degrees Celsius and it still tasted fantastic, I bet it’s even more refreshing during a typical Texas summer.

Review №83

We came here at 9PM on a Sunday and they are open till 11pm. The place was full, but awkwardly quiet. The lady behind the counter calls out large mango multiple times and no one claims it. After a solid 3 minutes of waiting for someone to claim the large mango bingsu, she finally gave up and asked us for our order, begrudgingly. We ordered a small mango and she said it will be a 20-30 min wait for bingsu.....excuse me if Im wrong but I dont believe it takes 30 min to make shaved ice in any universe and the place was not even full. Whoever the lady was that worked there on March 1st, 2020 was extremely unpleasant and seemed like she hated her life and her job.Thats all I had to say about the service. I was really hoping the actual bingsu would be redeeming but it was not. It did not taste good and the mango was neither sweet nor soft. Disappointed to the max.

Review №85

Prior to my recent vacation to Alaska, I had read that Snow City Café was selected as the best breakfast restaurant in Alaska so I had to decide for myself. The atmosphere was very homey and the food looked wonderful and tasked wonderful. When I asked for sweet iced tea, my server, Travis, asked where I was from (Texas) and told me he has very few patrons request sweet tea. He went on to explain that he was from Alabama and knew first-hand how wonderful sweet tea is. He went to the back and made me my very own pitcher of Alabama sweet tea. It was delicious. Personal experiences and relationships are what make a business exceed any expectations already in place. I highly suggest visiting Snow City Café when you visit Anchorage. Breakfast or lunch will be worth it.

Review №92

After trying out Mango shaved ice at Kings Noodle after watching a documentary on food in Taiwan, I was devastated to find out they only sell it over the summer. Luckily for me, this is a wonderful replacement. The frozen milk is super fluffy and the fruit is always very sweet in a ripe way. Every single friend I have taken to this place loves it. One word of warning, come here with a friend and share, because if you are coming here for dessert after you just ate, you probably wont be able to finish a bingsu all by yourself. At least not comfortably.

Review №95

Very delicious and great service. Unlike shaved ice, this is more like a shaved cream which has toppings on top and throughout the desert. For first timers, Id highly recommend either the strawberry and mango, or the three berry bingsu. If you prefer a less sweet dessert, than the green tea & mocha is also great.
