Tried the Tiramisu Sulbing. Honestly, it was mostly just shaved ice with a little bit of topping on top. The flavor was okay and refreshing, but for the price, it didn’t really feel worth it. Looks good, but I expected more tiramisu and toppings overall.
The chocolate brownie bingsu is indulgent and rich, loaded with generous brownie chunks and cheesecake bites that make it feel like a full dessert experience. In contrast, the strawberry bingsu is light, fresh, and refreshing. It has a more delicate feel, with just the right amount of sweetness from the syrup, making it easy to enjoy without feeling heavy.
I’ve been a long-time fan of Sulbing, but their new Strawberry Choco-Cake Sulbing is on a whole different level. If you’re looking for the ultimate winter dessert, this is it! The Taste Experience: This isn't just your average shaved ice; it’s basically a premium dessert tower. It features a rich Chocolate Cake Sheet layered with their signature fluffy Shaved Ice. The top is generously loaded with Fresh Strawberries that are actually sweet and juicy, not those sour ones you often get elsewhere. To top it off, there’s a massive scoop of Haagen-Dazs Strawberry Ice Cream, which adds a creamy, high-end finish. My favorite part was the Chocolate Hard Shell—it adds a satisfying crunch that contrasts beautifully with the soft snow ice. It’s "Berry Much" delicious!
I recently tried three standout Sulbing treats, and they’re all so worth it. Tiramisu Sulbing: Smooth, creamy, with just the right hint of coffee. Light, not cloying, perfect for a sweet pick-me-up. Strawberry Tree Sulbing: Fresh, juicy strawberries paired with a fluffy, airy base. Bright, refreshing, totally hits the spot. Strawberry Choco-Cake Sulbing: Crunchy chocolate cake bits, sweet berry notes, balanced richness. Indulgent but never heavy. All three are 10/10 will definitely be back for more.
Came here on a weekend with friends and really enjoyed it. Sulbing does authentic Korean snow ice with super fine, milky ice that melts in your mouth—sweet but not heavy. Works great as dessert any time of year. Green Tea Chocolate Sulbing was a highlight. The matcha is more bitter and fragrant (not overly sweet), paired with chocolate cake and milk ice—very balanced and easy to keep eating. Strawberry Yogurt Chocoballs Sulbing was refreshing, with a nice sweet-tart yogurt flavor and crunchy chocolate balls for texture. Dubai Nougat Crunch Ball was a fun surprise—crispy chocolate shell with pistachio cream and crunchy bits inside. Sweetness was well balanced with the snow ice. We also tried some toasts. Mozzarella Injeolmi Toast is a must when hot—nutty soybean powder, chewy mochi inside, and stretchy mozzarella. Sweet and savory combo works really well. Honey Butter Bread was simple but comforting, best eaten warm. Overall, great place to share a few shaved ice and toasts with friends. If you like light, fluffy snow ice, Sulbing is a solid choice.
