Sul & Beans

A let down for sure.. had a lot of anticipation going in. The shaved ice was ok… wasn’t special.. just ok. The cheese toast I got was completely disgusting. It was dry and cheese was not melted as it should. Probably save myself a few bucks and hit the Taiwanese spots next time..

That guy Jacob is so funny and nice. He made our anniversary night even more memorable! Place is clean and it looks like the employees really like to be there. The prices make sense for the quality of the product and man does it taste like they made it with love. Absolutely great experience this is my new go to spot!

The manager really knows how to take care of his customers. After we ordered the food, we left but when came back, the food seems eaten. The manager quickly apologized and gave us 2 more fish cakes on the house and of course remade the whole order. This type of service is super rare nowadays especially in Asian communities. Highly recommended.

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.

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 this place for the first time, and we all loved it. I loved the texture of the shaved ice. Very nice and fluffy, and not too sweet. Their cappuccino was also very good. This will be one of our new go to places for dessert.

The matcha custard taiyaki was just great! Not a big fan of the brown sugar taiyaki, not enough filling. I liked my drink alright, though we did order them hot and received iced versions instead. The atmosphere was nice, very busy but fast service :)

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!

Our family stopped by to grab some bingsoo. Sul and beans never fails to be delicious! It's a milkshake that is light and not overpowering. It's fun to share with family and friends. The flavors that are offered are a good range that will make you come back for more. I'm grateful for the service that is quick and kind. The place is well kept and maintained. We noticed that the team here takes the time to make the food well. There is one restroom that could be better maintained.

I was absolutely GUTTED that the mango bingsoo is now seasonal, but totally understand and still ordered here anyways. It was crowded when we came and there was only one person working the counter. It took a while to order because the people in front of us couldn't decide what to get...annoying but what can the staff do? We got the strawberry and injeoimi bingsoo. I thought the strawberry was pretty good IF you ask for the additional milk for the side. I think they're supposed to have that, but we had to go and ask for it. I don't injeoimi, the person I was with does and they fully enjoyed it. Wish there was more mochi considering the portions of the other ingredients.

Came here at night and the place was super cozy and really clean. Shoutout to Kevin, he took great care of us and gave some good recommendations. We got the chocolate banana bingsoo, black sesame toast, salted yolk strawberry matcha, and a bunch of different taiyaki flavors. Everything was delicious. Will be back for sure!

I ordered the strawberry Citron, its not the greatest but not too bad. I think if theu would hold back the pulp it would be 10 times better. It's a bit sweet but not too sweet.

Visited Sul & Beans on a busy weekend afternoon on a super hot day and this is by far one of the best shaved ice/bingsoo shops around. Located in a huge plaza by the 60 freeway in Rowland, parking can be a bit stressful here but there's plenty of people going in and out at all times. There's also underground parking for convenience. Best part is the parking is free although parking spaces are a bit tight compared to your usual parking lots. Inside is very well maintained, moderate amount of seating and somewhat spacious as well. This time around, we ordered one of our favorite bingsoo, the Strawberry Cheese Bingsoo! (Took about 5 minutes for the order to be ready which is pretty fast considering how busy it was.) If you want something fresh, savory, and sweet, this is the perfect bingsoo to get. Filled with fresh strawberries, and topped with plentiful of tangy cheesecake, it's the absolute perfection between sweet & chewy. Strawberries were fresh & very ripe, perfect in season and definitely cut to perfect bite size. Portions are big which makes it perfect as a shareable dish. One of the most refreshing bingsoos around. It's also worth to mention that this location compared to the KTOWN one is a bit smaller, less tables but quality is just as good, if not the same as KTOWN location. Excited to come back to try the various other bingsoo flavors!

We ordered the green tea and strawberry shave ice. I wish there was more condensed milk. There was more ice than anything else. Place is clean. I like that when you're done you put your tray in a little window. Friendly service.

We got a late-night dessert during the most crowded time I've ever experienced here. However, there wasn't a line at about 9 pm. Also, we luckily found an open parking space. There were still a lot of occupied spaces during this time. I got us a table while my friend ordered. They unfortunately ran out of fresh mango, our first choice for bingsoo. We got the fresh strawberry bingsoo ($13.95) instead, which I've had multiple times before. The strawberries were fresh, and the milk was nicely sweet. While the bingsoo tasted good, it took almost half an hour to get our dessert. The table was also a little sticky.

My friends and I wanted something sweet and savory. The plaza is usually busy during busy hours but it wasn't too bad when we arrived! There wasn't too many people and just enough for my friend group and I. As for dessert, we got the taiyaki filled with red bean, Nutella, and custard. We also got the cheese injeolmi toast and cinnamon toast. My favorite was the cheese injeolmi toast as it was sweet and savory! Love the combo!

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

Came here about a month ago! Decent Korean shaved ice! I ordered the mango one. Customer service was friendly in explaining to me what each menu item was. Appreciate the inside as well, there's a good amount of seating and not too crowded in the evenings when you're looking to grab dessert with friends. Only complaint is it's a little expensive and no free wifi. Overall 6.8/10

Was craving bingsu after dinner and found this cute spot in Diamond Plaza! Parking can be a bit tough on weekends, but it was worth it. We got the Earl Grey and Mango bingsu--both were super yummy and came out pretty quickly! The place has a really cute vibe and got busy not long after we arrived.

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.

Came on a pretty busy night but service was still quick. Sat inside and the inside is kept clean and lots of seating available. My sisters and I got a strawberry bingsoo and we loved it! It couldve used some more flavor to the ice but other than that it was so refreshing and yummy! Would def come back to try more and different items! Parking is available but the shopping center is busy so it might be tough to find something close.

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.

Located in Diamond Plaza. Plenty of parking, can be packed during weekends at night. Came here on Saturday evening at 3 PM. Wasn't too busy. Place was clean and busy. Ordered the fresh mango bingsoo. Service was good and fast. Mango was sweet and ice was delicious. Good for 3 people. They have white cups on the front of you wanted to share.

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.

The shaved ice here never disappoints! I've come here a few times and the great quality has always been consistent. The dessert isn't too sweet, and it's perfect for a hot sunny day or for when you're craving a sweet treat. 10/10 would recommend! This day I got the watermelon shaved ice but I've tried a bunch of the other ones and they were really good as well!!

The shaved ice is consistently good, but some tables can be sticky. The service really depends on the staff--sometimes they're friendly, and other times they can be a bit rude.

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.

On a Sunday night, we wanted to try some bingsu because it's so hot out. The order came out relatively quick and I was sooo excited because it was my boyfriends 1st time trying bingsu & I raved about it so much from trying elsewhere. I was even being adamant that he could only have 3 out of 6 mochi because I knew it would be too good! Wrong!!! This bingsu had NO taste... literally none. It just tasted like ice & the mochi was also tasteless. The texture was also not soft like expected. This was supposed to be my sweet treat after my meal, but was just a bowl of disappointment. Service was nice but on the way out, we overheard them tell some guests that it would take 30 min for their bingsu order. yikes.

Loved the shave ice we got. The mango was very fresh. The ice melts fast for this dessert. The black sesame was also delicious and the ice didn't melt as fast. Overall, I would come back.

Refreshing dessert! The toast is the best. It has like a mochi center or something. It's great for a catch up spot. The toast over the bingsoo if you had to choose

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.

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.

Bingsu dosen't comes with sweet bean and no taste. It is just ice with rice cake. Don't order it

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.

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!

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.

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

I ordered the berry yogurt bingsu! It was huge and so good. Customer service was super friendly and felt welcome. I cant wait to try more flavors.

Friendly staff, nice ambiance, plenty of surface and underground parking, tasty milk shaved ice.

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.

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.

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!

We were able to order right away and receive our strawberry bingsoo very quick. It was very creamy and good amount of sweetness. The mochi on top was very chewy and different from other mochis that I've tried. Next time, I'm thinking about trying other flavors.

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!

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.

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.

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.
