Shaved Ice Restaurants near Portland, OR

“This little specialty shop is such a worthwhile experience! The entire menu features treats made with matcha, more matcha, and even more matcha. There's also a seasonal flavor of soft serve to pair with your matcha. There's an order kiosk in the corner, but the staff at the counter are kind and helpful - tip them generously!
There are several tables to sit and enjoy your treats. The dining area is functional, but a little plain, and it is FREEZING cold in there. Bring a sweater 🥶 and enjoy your yummy caffeinated treat! (Matcha Bear pictured)“

“The bingsoos are fantastic on a hot summer day. My wife and I ate here 3 days in a row, because…why not? The half strawberry, half mango is refreshing and the shaved ice itself has a sweet, creamy texture. One of the other days I ordered the black sesame bingsoo, which was also excellent. The different toppings reminded me of halo halo (a Filipino dessert).

The reasons I gave them 4 stars is not because of the food. This place is severely understaffed on summer days and the wait is incredibly long when everyone is getting off dinner at the same time. We luckily beat most of the crowd, but still waited 30 min to get our order. Two employees is not enough to keep the traffic moving. Understaffed also means tables are not maintained and tend to be covered in a sugary, sticky mess.

Update: 11 months later and the wait times are much more reasonable. Typical wait is about 5-10 minutes after ordering. It can use more seating and someone to wipe down the tables from time to time. The restroom isn’t maintained well either. Inside is always stuffy, as if there’s no air conditioning.“

“There's nothing better than having a hot dog after a morning walk through the park. The Polish sausage was worthy of being devoured. Had a blast adding my favorite condiments. Their lemonade was also cold and refreshing. I wish they had free refills.“

“This is one of the only shave ice places in the area with an actual ice shaver. The chai/ginger combo with sno cap was as expected. And the ginger was spicy! The ice is creamy and melts in your mouth.

I highly recommend this spot if you're looking for authentic shave ice with excellent homemade syrups.“
