About Anko

Anko is a popular spot for bingsoo, or shaved ice, in the area. The restaurant offers a variety of flavors, including mango and black sesame. Customers praise the fine, buttery consistency of the shaved ice, which melts perfectly. The mango bingsoo, in particular, is a highlight, with sweet mango syrup and generous mango pieces. Some reviews mention the shaved ice as fluffy and soft, almost like fresh snow, with a mild taste that is not too sweet. The condense milk is well-balanced, and portions are suitable for sharing or enjoying solo. The space is clean and minimal, with a relaxed atmosphere, making it a good place to cool off or hang out with friends over dessert.

Recently, the roasted tea flavored shaved ice with marron was highly appreciated for its fluffy texture and right amount of sweetness, with a layer of ice cream inside, perfect for sharing by more than two people. The strawberry bingsoo was also well received, with bright strawberry topping and a balanced amount of condensed milk, offering a refreshing flavor. Service is friendly and patient, and staff provide helpful suggestions without rushing customers, even during busy times. Parking can be a challenge, with street parking available nearby. Overall, Anko remains a solid choice for those craving delicious bingsoo, especially the mango flavor, with its fine, melting ice a major attraction.
