"Don’t let the small counter at this dessert spot in Koreatown fool you. Peek around the corner, and you’ll see a humongous, semi-hidden room that looks like a high school cafeteria with high tops and picnic tables. You won’t go wrong with any of the impossibly fluffy shaved ices, but our go-to is the mango one. It comes with banana slices and a portion of perfectly ripe mango chunks that would cost a small fortune at Whole Foods. Despite all the seating, this place is always packed. Just hover around the room like a vulture, and someone will get up soon enough." - kenny yang, carina finn koeppicus
