Sul & Beans

Good shaved ice. Matcha with red bean, coffee and strawberry cheesecake are all great options. There's a water station there and also strip mall parking.

There was no greeting or any communication when entering the store, the staff had their backs to the shaved ice. There was no intention of receiving the order at the counter. The sanitation of the toilet almost made me faint. The sink was blocked by paper towels and the toilet was also dirty. I ordered mango shaved ice, and the mango flesh was hard and sour with oversweet mango syrup.

This is the Rowland Heights outlet of Sul & Bean the Korean bingsoo chain which are serving shaved ice treats. They have a decent choice of flavors for your toppings such as red bean, green tea and others. They also serve sweetened roasts with various buttery or creamy and nutty toppings. It’s a good stop for desserts after your meals at this restaurant heavy mall.

Best shaved ice we have ever had and huge portions. One container will serve three people. Fruit is fresh and other toppings seem fresh. Ordered the mango and cookies and cream one. Cookie cream was the best. While mango was fresh it wasn't sweet or ripe. Customer service could use some improvement

Got two Boong Uh Bbang to go with black sesame and nutella, both were crispy on the outside and chewy inside and tasted so good! Definitely will revisit again!

Locate in Diamond Plaza next to Charles Schwab before underground parking entrance Is not crowded on Thursday night at 7 pm with many available tables, but they fill pretty fast. 2 tables outdoor Order before sitting down, pager giving after ordering. Shaved ice and toast display is next to the cashier Free self-service fruits water drink and cups on the right side by entrance We ordered 3 shaved ice (soy, watermelon and mango) and 2 toasts (soy & black sesame). I like soy shaved ice and toast, it is not as sweet as the other 2 flavors. Black sesame toast is a little bitter and sweet at the same time. The watermelon cube is frozen.

Tried the strawberry shaved ice and it was okay. The shaved ice had little flavors, without the condense milk, it tasted bland. However, the shop was packed so it is really popular! I see others ordering the black sesame bingsoo, Maybe I should give it one more try next time with a different Bingsoo!

Bingsoo not too sweet. Feel good when weather is hot. But a bit costly.

Came here after lunch for some dessert. Everything looked good in their display case, but ended up ordering the Green Tea Bingoo since I'm a matcha girl. The wait wasn't too long on a busy Saturday, no more than 5 minutes the buzzer rang letting us know our order was ready. I haven't had bingsoo in a while so I really savored every bite. I'm a big back so I probably could eat the whole thing by myself, it was 10/10. Next time I come here I'll try their coffee bingsoo and add condensed milk on the side.

Great desert place after dinner in Rowland Heights. They have French toast and Korean shaved ice. They have creative flavors and toppings here. I got the black sesame injeolmi toast and it was covered with dusted black sesame. Not much injeolmi flavor. The toast was a bit burnt and hard on the edges. Would skip on this next time. The sweet corn bingsoo was delicious! They used real corn so it didn't have the artificial corn taste. The powdered sugar in it gave it a nice sweet taste with the shaved ice. The mango bingsoo was covered with sweet mangos and tasted fresh. Solid sweet place to end the night.

We came from San Diego to visit Sul & Beans Rowland Heights again because we had a pleasant experience the first time and genuinely enjoyed the desserts. Sadly, our return visit was a complete letdown, not because of the food--but because of the UNPROFESSIONAL, RUDE and ARROGANT treatment we received from JOSEPH, who claims to be the manager. We arrived around 10:00 PM. When placing our order, Joseph told us they were only accepting to-go orders because it was near closing. We understood and patiently waited. Then we noticed a group of young customers who arrived after us had already received their order--and were dining in. Confused, I politely followed up with Joseph. He checked and said our order was "just being made." I repeated his words--"just now?"--and asked if they had forgotten it. He didn't respond directly, so I returned to my table. When our pager finally buzzed, I picked up the order and returned the device. Though I was clearly frustrated, I had no intention of causing a scene. But Joseph chose to escalate the situation. He bluntly told me, "You ordered at 10:07," as if that justified the delay. I explained, we arrived and ordered before that other group, and reminded him that he said only to-go orders were being accepted--yet they were served dine-in. His response? "They're friends with the employees." I asked again--just to clarify--"So you're saying their order was prioritized because they're friends?" And with a disrespectful, aggressive tone, he said yes. When I asked to speak with the manager, he said he was the manager and stood by what he said. No apology. No acknowledgment of the unfairness. Just attitude. With frustration, I took a photo of the place for my review. When he realized it, he even waved mockingly at me--adding insult to injury. What a disappointment. This kind of employee--or even boss--is the kind that drives customers away and turns a good business into a failure. Great desserts can only take a business so far if this is the kind of "customer service" being offered. I hope ownership seriously reevaluates who they allow to represent their brand. We came back as loyal customers. We left feeling completely disrespected.

Good for what it is... if you're already here. Stopped by Sul & Beans after dinner in the same plaza, because really, that's the only time I'd come. I had the bingsoo, which was fluffy enough and came with the usual toppings. It hit the spot, but didn't exactly blow my mind. That said, it's pricey for what amounts to a bowl of snow and some fruit. And depending on the day, the quality can swing from refreshing and satisfying to a little underwhelming. Definitely not worth battling parking or making a separate trip for. If you've just finished dinner nearby and want something sweet, it'll do. But at these prices, it's very difficult to recommend if you aren't already parked and eating somewhere else in the plaza.

Sul & Beans in Rowland Heights used to be a favorite, but my recent visit was disappointing. Prices have gone up to around $15-$17 per bingsoo, but the portion sizes and quality have definitely gone down. We ordered the strawberry cheesecake bingsoo and it just wasn't good--the strawberries were yellow, hard, and not ripe at all, and there was barely any condensed milk, so the whole thing tasted bland. For the price, I expected much better quality and a more generous serving. Sadly, I won't be coming back

Bingsoo will always be my favorite type of shaved ice. Sul and Beans probably does the most consistent around. I always order the strawberry one but the mango also hits the spot on a hot summer day. I like how the flavor doesn't just sit on top but also, they put layers inside the shaved ice. The service was okay though. On a busy day, you would have to wait for a few minutes for a person to take your order. Hopefully they can have one designated person to take orders only.

There was a short line and wait for our shaved ice. There is a nice seating area in the inside as you wait with your buzzer. The strawberry bingsu was very refreshing but I wish there were more complements to it besides the ice and strawberry purée. I would recommend asking for condensed milk if you order the black sesame shaved ice since the sesame on top is just powder. It is hard to eat since it is just dry powder sitting on top of the ice. However, I enjoyed the pieces of mochi and red bean with the black sesame bingsu. This place closes later and is the perfect place for a late night dessert run. I would definitely come back to try other flavors.

Finally made it here and it did not disappoint! We tried a few things and all were delish. The mango was so sweet and fresh. Service was friendly and ample seating. Can't wait to try more flavors.

This is my second time coming to this spot in one week, all I could say is hopefully their own staff gets better with attitude. That was the vibe I got from here unfortunately. Other than that, the facility is always nice and clean . They have great tasting fresh water immersed with fruit for guest, a decent restroom, and surprisingly a spacious size place. I really enjoyed their shaved ice so far I have tried the mango , strawberry and the chocolate shaved ice here . I've also indulged in their Nutella and custard little cute fishes. Great place to have a date or bring family. I do believe the price is fair.

I've been coming to sul & beans for years but I think the quality went down recently and prices keep going up :/ Mango bingsoo - the mango was pretty sweet considering it's not in season right now! But the bowl was 80% ice which was a little disappointing. Luckily you can get free condensed milk on the side which I highly recommend asking for! Injeolmi toast - sadly I wouldn't order this again. It was super dry and the injeolmi powder made the toast even more dry. There was only a little bit of mochi in the middle which was disappointing

My girlfriend and I stopped by Sul & Beans post-dinner to end the night off with a sweet treat. We ordered the Injeolmi Bingsoo, which was also topped with almonds and mochi. The bingsoo was made quite fast, and the presentation of the desserts were all aesthetically pleasing. The store was quite lively during the night, filled with a bunch of teens? who were hanging out with friends. (So heads up if you don't wanna be surrounded by college students). The flavor of the bingsoo was not too sweet, and the portoon size was just right. This is the perfect place to satiate a late night sweet craving!

The strawberry cheese bingsoo is really good, it's my go to, however I've noticed it's always very messy in the seating area and the bathrooms are never clean.

Meh. $15 per bowl. Got the mango and a strawberry 90% ice and 10% flavor. Charge extra for additional condensed milk. So, pretty much just ice. Too much $ for so little flavor, even if pretty. The mochi tasted old/nasty. Actually, as i write this and choke down another bite, I'm dropping to one star - especially since I have to listen to my wife complain.

Yes, this place is known for its bingsoo, but I was craving for a hotteok and this is the nearest place that offers this so I went here and order the boong uh bbang. The flavors that I chose were nutella, custard, matcha custard and of course hotteok (after all this is why I came here for!) I ordered 10 pcs total for my friends and the kids and we all finished all of them pretty quickly. They were so good!! Especially when they just came out, still warm and soft. The kids' favorite is of course nutella. I actually really like the hotteok. The filling was perfect, not too watery, and packed with flavors. It was a windy day so I didn't order bingsoo but I will definitely come back for more hotteok and I'll try one of the bingsoo! Service was quick and the place was pretty clean.

Stumbled upon this dessert spot in this plaza and ended up ordering a toast! I've never heard of Injeolmi before so I chose that toast to try something new. It was nutty and not too sweet, I loved it! Idk what inside but it was like a mochi texture or something chewy and warm. Our order came in less than 5 minutes and the cashier was so nice to explain what injeolmi was! They also had delicious looking shaved ice which I did not try because it's too cold this winter time lol maybe in the summer I'll give it a shot.

ORDER strawberry bingsoo (4/5) i feel like the portions have gotten smaller over time, but regardless still very yummy and refreshing! the shave ice doesn't have much flavor and the strawberry syrup isn't too sweet. they don't skimp on the strawberries and the mochis were the perfect addition. SERVICE the bingsoo takes awhile to come out, but it's usually always busy. AMBIANCE very cramped inside, the tables aren't taken care off so you'll need to clean it before sitting down. parking can be hard to find on the weekends.

I ordered a original bingsoo, red bean was so solid to bite and not taste good enough to eat. I requested to refund however they said no. It was good experience to have bingsoo on different location but this location is not professional and good service for customer safitisfaction. I won't ever visit this place ever again

Delicious! I got a black sesame bingsoo and a mugwort latte. The shaved ice melts in your mouth and has a very strong black sesame taste. I loved the sweet beans and candied jujubes in the dessert. The mugwort latte was good, but I'd probably stick to the bingsoo next time. Inside was clean and inviting. My husband and I played cards while eating. The service was fast and friendly. I highly recommend!

Ordered the banana milk bingsu and it was delicious! Honestly can almost never go wrong with bingsu... if you enjoy banana milk cartons, you'll love this bingsu flavor! We arrived at 9pm and hour before they closed and were sadly forced to have it in To go cups. I wouldve enjoyed a nice presentation over smashed into a cup, but overall it's delicious regardless!

Holy moly this is hands down the BEST shaved ice spot I've ever been to. Their shaved ice is made with milk instead of water so it was very fluffy and creamy when mixed together. We also ordered the cheese toast and it was soooo good. Ambiance was lively and service and friendly when helping us decide what to other. Will definitely be back!

The OG bingsoo place. I think this location is better than the others just bc the bingsoo holds together better and doesn't melt or become liquidity too quickly. I need to stop ordering fruit bingsoo in the winter the fresh fruit isn't as sweet. The portions was BIG enough to feed 4-5 ppl

So many ice flavors. Personally the Oreo flavor was my favorite but strawberry, mango, and red bean/black sesame were all really good too. Cozy, crowded and busy on weekends it tables turnover relatively quick. Parking is always tight and a pain in this plaza. A bit pricey at around $15-17 per order after tax/tip.

I always order the injeomi bingsoo whenever I come. I love the softness of the shaved ice. It's so light and fluffy and very refreshing. I usually ask for some condensed milk on the side because the shaved ice is sometimes flavorless in the center. Parking is pretty difficult here. We usually have to circle a few times before we find a spot on the weekends. They don't have many tables but people usually eat pretty fast. The tables are sometimes sticky though...

One of the best shaved ice I've had. The flavor i got was earl tea and it was amazing. The ice they used was super soft so it just melts in your mouth and the powder on top had the right amount of sweetness. The whole thing was refreshing and definitely worth the hype. One downside is that it seems like they didnt have their ac on, it was kind of hot in there. Oh and its probably best to come after when the dinner crowds die off cause this is located in diamond plaza and parking could be horrendous during dinner prime time. Other than that, im definitely going to be back to try other flavors.

Good for the summertime hangout with friends. The shaved ice is definitely the reason I'm visiting, they also sell other items. The service was basically self-service. You order on the counter, get a buzzing remote, get the food when it buzzed, return your own tray after you finished. $13 for the shave ice.

Light and refreshing! There weren't many people and I was first in line. Decided to get the watermelon bingsoo. It was ready super quickly. The watermelon was sweet. The shaved ice is light and fluffy. They had the condensed milk on the side. Super light and not very sweet. Wish there was more flavor though, but still a nice cool treat. Love how spacious it is inside.

This is my favorite bingsu chain so had to come back to try their new flavor, banana milk bingsu and this taste exactly like drinking a banana milk! It comes with banana cream that you can add to the bingsu and it's so good! I love this flavor so much and service went well despite being a little busy. Taiyaki was really good and warm as well. We got matcha, two custard, and one red bean.

overall score: B+ food: strawberry bingsoo you cannot go wrong with strawberry. it was good. the only con is that everytime i go to sul & bean whether it be in any other location, the portion seems to be getting smaller and smaller. this location in particular seemed to be the smallest. the shaved ice does not carry that much flavor but paired with the condensed milk and strawberry, it was perfect. not too sweet but not too light. service: we ordered up front and found a seat pretty quickly. it was busy so i almost thought we would have to sit outside. the food took a lot longer than most locations as well. our bingsoo took about 15-20 minutes to come out. ambiance: this location is rather cozy where my seat was touching the back of another chair. it is very cramped but it was not that big of a problem. the inside was pretty and clean.

Love Sul & Beans! Got their Strawberry Cheese Bingsoo this time and it was so good! The workers put the perfect amount of strawberry and cheesecake which I loved. Perfect consistency. Workers were super nice and attentive as well!

I usually go to the sul and beans in San Diego and wanted to try this location because bingsoo is my favorite dessert. The mango bingsoo was perfect. Mangoes were sweet and thoughtfully layered throughout the bowl so you aren't stuck with just ice towards the bottom. I have also tried the earl grey and strawberry cheesecake but prefer the mango. We came at night on a Thursday and there were plenty of seats available. Large parking lot so it wasn't too hard to find a spot. Service is super quick too!

I've been in this plaza a few times and have walked past by here never realizing what a gem it is. Came here on Saturday night and it was quite busy. Luckily we were able to get a table. We ordered the fresh mango bingsoo, strawberry citron drink, honey orange, lemon & grapefruit drink and two boong uh bbang in the flavors of Nutella and custard. We got our orders in a timely manner and everything came out delicious. The texture of the shaved ice is so different from what I've had before, paired nicely with the fresh mangos and sweet syrup it was a nice way to end the night. I'll definitely be back to try more flavors!

Great location for a sweet dessert. Taro one could've had more flavor as it was lightly coated on top with taro powder. Was expecting it all to be heavily taro flavor which was a disappointment. We got the green tea and hotteok taiyaki which had a nice mochi texture and flavor. Green tea was a subtle flavor that was enjoyable and hotteok had. A heavy sweet cinnamon flavor. Both were great overall. Workers were also very nice.

So bummed bc i LOVE bingsoo and was looking forward to it. Looked nice and good serving size, but lacked flavor. Just tasted like shaved ice with strawberries that were also flavorless. Same with cookies & cream...shaved ice with crushed cookies. Will sound weird, but it tasted so dry.

Bingsoo 10/10 The service is good and the ambiance is quite small and cute. Overall I'd definitely come back again - the toast is personal favorite of mine and so is the mango bingsoo.

This is a good spot for shareable desserts, but I think their shaved ice itself could be sweeter and have more condensed milk. Parking in diamond plaza is also a nightmare, especially during weekends so beware!

I came here with my friends after eating and this place has great bingsoo! You order at the counter and seat yourself and are given a buzzer for when your order is ready. The cashier is very nice and the prices are pretty fair. I got the seventeen combo that was a social collaboration for the concert last weekend. The only thing I would complain is that there was an extra charge to substitute red bean for strawberries but overall I would come back again for a different fruit bingsoo in the future !

I love the consistency in taste and presentations of the bingsoo at Sul & Beans. The mango bingsoo is always delicious with huge mango pieces arranged beautifully on top of their soft fluffy ice. I appreciate the sides of condensed milk they provide so you can customize the sweetness of the bingsoo. Their taiyaki is made fresh and best enjoyed while nice and warm. Their recent filling additions include matcha custard and black sesame. Overall, solid place to satisfy bingsoo and taiyaki craving.

I have a mild non-life threatening banana OAS allergy. I ordered a coffee bingsoo. It was delicious right until I hit the bottom of it and tasted what felt like banana milk (creamy condensed milk with banana and ice flavor). I spent the last two hours in pain and tears dealing with allergy symptoms. It was a busy rush and they ran out of buzzers. The person who ordered before me ordered a banana bingsoo. I got mine bingsoo before he did. Of course the workers and manager will not admit to putting banana in. It is not in their practice/recipe. And they say they change their gloves so it couldn't have happened. I usually don't write bad reviews. I rather not cause trouble. I love sul and beans and Korean shaved ice. However this location is always busy on a Saturday night. Crowded with full tables that are never clean and always sticky. I don't know if they get sloppy or careless because it gets so busy, but I cannot in good conscience recommend this location after my experience tonight. The shave ice itself is delicious. If you do go, go when it's not busy or go to a different location. And be warned if you have allergies.

Always hits the spot for me!! Cravings satisfied! I was pretty lucky to find a seat as it always gets busy at this location!

I'm quite the regular at the Buena Park location, so I came in here expecting some of the consistency J get there. And I would say that I got it! Coming in on a Saturday night, the place tends to get a bit crowded, but a good number of seats were available. There wasn't a line to order, so that means the service is quite quick. It's a but if a loud establishment though, so definitely not a place to study. My friends and I got the strawberry cheesecake bingsoos to share and they were just the right amount of creamy, tart, and flavorful. They gave the perfect amount of cheesecake bites, and enough strawberries to last 3 people. My biggest gripe about places is if they're too sweet, which Sul and Beans certainly isn't.

I love their strawberry bingsoo. It super duper good and their service is quite fast. They always show kindnees and patience with me.

I was looking to satisfy my sweet tooth so we decided to go to Sul & Beans to grab some dessert. They have a wide variety of bingsoo flavors so it was hard to narrow it down to just one as so many of the flavors sounded delicious. We ultimately decided to get the Fresh Strawberry Bingsoo ($12.50) and an order of two Green Tea Custard Boong ah Bbang which are the filled fish shaped hot cakes ($4.25). Service at the counter where we ordered was average and nothing to rave about. You are given a pager which will buzz when your order is ready - ours was ready in a little over 5 minutes. The strawberry bingsoo had slices of fresh strawberries, a few pieces of mochi, along with condensed milk atop a bed of soft milky shaved ice. I enjoyed the bingsoo, but it was nothing memorable and felt a bit stiff in price for the portion size. Even though Sul & Beans is primarily known for their bingsoo, I actually enjoyed the filled fish shaped hot cakes much more! Both the green tea custard filling and the fish shaped hot cake was warm and delicious! I loved how the exterior was slightly crispy with a nice chew inside. If I find myself at Sul & Beans again, I'm not sure if I'd get their Bingsoo again, but I will definitely be grabbing the Boong Ah Bbang as I would love to try their other fillings like red bean and nutella.

New Flavor Alert! It was super hot this weekend so I did a drive by and almost left when I saw how long the line was. However, I was a poster for their new green grape bingsu and I knew I had to wait the line. I drove over expecting to have my go to earl grey and strawberry or mango ( depending on the fruit season) but I had to make a sacrifice to give the new one a try. Every new flavor drop by sul n beans never disappoints! I know for sure the management takes extra care to make sure the fruits are ripe a fresh for all their fruit flavored bingsu's because I have never had a bad experience at this location. The green grape was topped with crisp crunchy green grapes and was sooooooo refreshing and flavorful. My friends and I didn't even use the extra condensed milk that they provide on the side. I have been to Sul n Beans all over from ktown to the OC and the Rowland Heights location is my favorite when it comes to service, ambiance, and the consistency in taste quality. When I'm craving bingsu, a nice nutty and chewy toast, or a crispy boonguhppang this is my go to location. As a bonus, there is ample parking at this plaza

Pretty good! We waited for about 30 minutes (to get seated, then to get the order) and the Fresh Strawberry Bingsoo tasted great. Nice and creamy ice cream that melts in your mouth plus the fresh fruit--and large enough to share with a friend or family.

me and my siblings decided to come here for dessert after a meal. unfortunately, it was during the new year season, so they pretty busy. but we were a party of 7, which they had more than enough tables to accommodate for. It was just barely the right amount of people needed to finish one or these bing su. we got the strawberry cheesecake which has cheesecake chucks and comes with condensed milk. everyone has to experience pouring the condensed milk at least one.

The ice itself is flavorless unlike Oakobing, but they layer it well. The middle is another layer of injelomi powder and bottom is condensed milk soaked ice, not bad. No service, chill bustling ambiance.

This place is a bomb in the area when it comes to Korean shaved Ice cream. We have been visiting for couple of times and this time we tried the toast. To my opinion, it i s overpriced (picture attached) Place is quite squeezed as the place is quite small and I see the point they trying to accommodate more people in a way. We got our order incorrect at first, as they were giving me the shaved ice in fact I ordered toast, music was too loud that time, FYI. I will definitely will come for the shaved ice bu not the toast anymore honestly

Got here an hour and 15 minutes before it closes. Waited for 30 min and follow up my order. Guy in the front was confused and looked through the receipts only to say he forgot my order. Order did not come in the nice pictures you see but in a to go cup just mixed. Basically just sour strawberries ice and condensed milk all mushed up. Expected a lot more but was very disappointed.

First time here and with so many options wasn't sure to get? Ended up going with the Taro Bangoo and it was amazing , friendly service and delicious will definitely be coming back
