Mr. Bingsoo 522 South Broadway, Baltimore, MD 21231

"I had never tasted Korean shaved ice before and it is definitely awesome. It has the consistency and mouthfeel of fresh powdery snow with all sorts of great flavors mixed in. Mine had Berries, syrup, gummies, and coconut with a nice dollop of strawberry sherbet on top. It really is like nothing I've had before. The Taiyaki is also definitely well worth ordering. They are made-to-order goldfish-shaped waffles with your choice of filling. I had the red bean and the peanut butter & chocolate. Both were fantastic. They're crispy on the outside and warm and sweet on the inside. I'd go for these alone. The bubble tea is great too! I'll most certainly be coming back."

"LOVE THIS PLACE. This was such a hidden gem. I got “The Raven” bingsoo. Subtle taro flavor, coconut ice cream, sweet red bean, and caramelized almonds compliemented each other so well and was just heavenly. I also tried their fish-shaped cake. I devoured it as soon as it came out, which is why I only have a picture of its tail, but you can see how thin, crispy the shell is. And the red bean paste was buttery smooth. Really, really good and probably the most authentic 붕어빵(Taiyaki) I had in the United States. The owners are incredibly kind and will give you great recommendations as needed."

"Great place! Added to my list of must stop at places. Got the Bmore bubble tea and it was amazing! The flavors went together so well and the boba popped with ease in my mouth. Also got a peanut butter and chocolate taiyaki and it was great! Couldn’t recommend this enough. Great food for a great price!"

"A highly recommended small practically hidden gem in Baltimore that serves both bubble milk tea and bingsoo, or Korean shaved ice. The Korean couple who work at the store are unbelievably friendly, and we had a great conversation with them. Each bingsoo is large enough to split between 2 people, but for those with an appetite, a single person can eat an entire bowl. "The Raven" is their specialty in honor of the city of Baltimore, but all the flavors sound so good. Each one is hand made with care and one can watch the process of ensuring that each bite has a different topping or flavor. We didn't try their milk tea but appreciated the fact that they have non-dairy options. The store itself is on the smaller side with only 3 tables each with a pair of chairs. However, it is quite cozy and a great place to grab dessert."

"Such a cute spot! We got to talk with the staff, who are incredibly kind people. The kind lady complimented my rainbow freckles tattoo and said she wanted some too! I got the ‘Love is in the Snow’, and it was DIVINE. The strawberry lavender sorbet is soooo gorgeous, and they layer the toppings throughout the entire bowl, so you get frozen strawberries as you go down! The heart shaped jellies are adorable and made me grin ear to ear! Legitimately everything about my order was amazing. The staff WANTS to talk to get to know the people in their shop, and they were so enthusiastic about their items, calling us over to watch and explain what they were doing and what everything was made out of. These people have so much pride and passion, and you can certainly taste it!"
