This Korean shaved ice place is great. We got the mango, strawberry and matcha. All were very good and soft and fluffy. It wasn't overly sweet and good portions. The line does get long and busy but it doesn't take too long for your order to be ready.

Amazing family spot or little dessert date night and across the street is a perfect little Photo spot perfect spot. Love the green tea but they had different flavors as well

Best discovery ever! Think authentic Hawaiian ice but with the milky flavor already in the ice. The strawberry and mango were the best. We liked the mochi topping.

Craving something sweet in Los Angeles so we drove around K-town on a Friday night. Every place we wanted to go to was either packed or parking was non-existent. Then Oakobing popped up on my map close by to where we were circling. AND they had parking! (Valet parking $5 cash only) the place was packed but we were able to get in before another wave of people came in. Placed our order on a tablet then quickly grabbed a seat right after a worker cleaned it. We watched the workers behind the counter place a big block of flavored ice in the machine that shaved it into a tall pile of snow into a cup. The portion is sizeable enough for 2 people to share. The Tiramisu was okay and def needed the coffee liquid to give it some flavor. The Mango Melon, now that was deee-licious! We did an add-on milk drizzle which made it even more creamy. Apparently ours comes in a monstrous size with an actual melon carved out as a bowl. The table next to us ordered one of those. I think there were about 6 of them sharing it. So glad we found this place!

The place was super packed! Which I can see why! Loved their shaved ice cream for sure! Ordered: Mango Melon Shaved Ice 10/10 Mango single size Shaved Ice 10/10 Also got their Injeolmi Latte 6/10 Wanted to try it to see how it was, but it was not really to my liking! Overall experience 10/10 Super fast with their orders! Felt super light, and I'll definitely see myself coming back to try this!

I feel a bit bad saying this, because the matcha latte was actually pretty nice — smooth, not too sweet, and refreshing. But the place was super busy when we went, and it kind of threw off the vibe a little. Lots of people packed into a small space, so it felt a bit chaotic instead of chill. I know that’s normal for a popular café, but I guess I was hoping for something a little more relaxed to enjoy the drink. Still — the presentation was good, the drink tasted nice, and the staff seemed like they were doing their best under pressure. Just not the most peaceful spot if you’re hoping to slow down and hang out.

THIS refreshing dessert was worth the trouble finding a parking space! Amazingly sweet melon on the mango melon shave ice was the highlight! We also had the Oreo tiramisu shave ice which was a wonderful chocolaty complement to the fruitiness of the melon. The shave ice seemed less like ice and more like a creamy dairy dessert, quite wholesome tasting. Dining room was packed with other customers but we were able to find a table. I like ordering from the kiosk which gives thorough descriptions and has large photos of each item.

LA bucket list spot!! It’s like the mian mian bing of my childhood but Korean. Not icy at all and very fluffy + mochi was so tender. I liked how you could decide how much condensed milk to add yourself. It can get very crowded but service is fast. There’s also a small portion that can be easier to finish for groups less than 4 people.

My group got the single size Sesame and Mango Melon. The sign outside did not have all the flavors. Personally I did not care for the sesame since it was coconut base. The Mango shaved ice was good but I didn't like how the shaved ice were in ribbons. It was difficult to get a scoop without spilling some on the table... which is why probably why the tables are sticky!

This was my second time visiting Oakobing. While the shaved ice is delicious, my overall impression of the place hasn’t been great—both visits left me feeling disappointed. First, the store is quite small, so waiting for a table is already a stressful experience. On top of that, the dessert prep area looked unclean, and the floors were noticeably dirty. During my first visit (on December 25, 2024), I was able to park in the parking structure without any issues. However, today (June 16, 2025), I see that valet parking was now required upon entering. They charged $5 for cash or $5.50 for Apple Pay, but the strange part was—they told me to park the car myself. If I’m self-parking, why am I paying a valet fee? When I got out of the car, the person collecting payments was just sitting there scrolling on his phone. The structure itself had plenty of open spots (probably because it’s Father’s Day), yet later I saw him valet another car and park it right in front of mine, completely blocking it. The whole experience was illogical and frustrating from start to finish. I don’t think I’ll be returning to this location. I’ll probably try the Pasadena branch next time and hope for a better experience.

I ordered an Injeolmi bingsu & mango yesterday. The rice cake had green tea powder on it. I never ordered anything with green tea. At first, I suspected the food might have been reused, but since I can’t verify that, I tried calling the store. No one answered. I don’t need any explanation. I simply won’t be ordering again. It wasn’t good anyway. Wishing your business continued success.

You have to pay $5 for the parking in their building. We ordered the mango melon shaved ice. It’s overly sweet and the fruit tasted fermented and not fresh at all. Overall it looks good on picture but not in your mouth.

First off, the street leading to this place feels like a scene straight out of a zombie apocalypse movie. You park in the back for $5 and walk through a dark, sketchy alley just to enter through the rear. Not exactly welcoming. Inside, it’s chaotic and packed (as expected on a Sunday), but even if seating were available, I wouldn’t have sat down. The tables and chairs looked like they hadn’t been wiped down all day. The entire place smelled awful—like a dirty diaper mixed with rotting fruit. The floor was sticky, the air was humid, and the ice shaving station looked filthy. I don’t even want to imagine what’s behind the curtain. The staff were changing gloves regularly (as they should). I ordered a small shaved ice and paid $9.31. The fruit came in exactly six sad little pieces, and it's just shaved ice. Honestly, you’d be doing someone a disservice by recommending this spot—or anywhere this area. Between the price, the cleanliness, the smell, and the setting, I don't understand the high reviews.
