Very dusty store, you can see it caked on the walls and light fixtures above their prep areas. The boba was undercooked, pretty disgusting. Your much better off at another shop

Busy little shop that serves up delicious bingsu and boba milk tea. We used the self service kiosk to order and that really helped since we could take our time to customize our order and decide what else to get. We settled on the green tea bingsu and the strawberry milk tea. The milk tea was smooth and refreshing and the bingsu was flavorful and fun to eat.

I really like their Taro smoothie, I was able to get it less sweet and the self ordering kiosk makes it fast and easy. I wonder how’s their egg biscuits? Will try it next visit.

I ordered the mango bingsoo, which took a very long time for them to prepare despite the ice not being shaved fresh and the shop only having a single customer at the time. They seemed to be distracted while preparing the dish, leaving ingredients sitting there for several minutes, which is alarming for a frozen dish that melts quickly.
Overall, the taste was not bad, but the shaved ice was expensive for what I got. I've never heard of or experienced a bingsoo shop that uses scoops of pre-shaved ice rather than shaving it fresh, and it definitely detracted from the texture and experience.

Rude customer service, and the sign outside said 15 Fish balls for $5. However, if you order on the iPad instead of talking directly to the worker, it is $6.25 and only comes with 12 fish balls.

We ordered couple of snacks and they’re really good, most especially the chicken poppers and even the milk tea.

The food was 10/10, ordered 4 items for $43 and stayed for over an hour. Arrived at 10:58, waited for him to open, then hit right away as he opened at 11 AM. He works very hard, he was alone in the kitchen through all of it. My order took so long that a line started to form and my friends and I felt so bad. It was all amazing, I dream about his food and this shop. If I lived in SF, I would come here every day.
Came back later that day right before he closed at 8 and he closed up while we were waiting inside. Ordered another $30 worth of food and he didn't remember us until he was told we were the people with a big order from this morning. Well, we all ordered separately so all 4 items in the pic were mine and I killed it all within 45 minutes.
TL;DR, this guy deserves the world. 1000% recommend
Also good quality napkins

The creamiest taro boba tea I’ve ever had, it was so good! My girlfriend also got the guava tea, which was quite good. Can also recommend the takoyaki.
