| - As bingsoo goes, this one's pretty tasty, but the portions and the prices don't match up. I'd say this is the best in the Scarborough area, but there is definitely better elsewhere. I'd say the service was quite good though. I was going to order two large bingsoos for four people, and the lady at the counter suggested I order two regulars instead because the regulars are enough for one to two people. It worked out very well for us, especially because we had just had a large dinner.
We were seated at an awkward table. It was for four people, but on the booth side of the seating, there was one seat (mine) that happened to be where the cushioned section ended, so my seat was half cushion and half awkward electric outlet area. It was not the most comfortable thing. Perhaps there would be a better place to separate two and four person tables.
The ice here looks like shorter coconut shavings. It's still super fluffy. It's also milky.
Their matcha bingsoo had almond flakes, matcha powder, red bean, and a few pieces of injeolmi (rice cake covered in roasted grain powder). I very much appreciated the almond flakes. The additional crunch was lovely. There could have been a tad more matcha powder, but I like my matcha flavor strong. I thought the demo picture of the matcha bingsoo had matcha ice cream or matcha whipped cream on it, but it didn't come with our bingsoo. Not sure what happened there. The condensed milk on the side was not necessary for me, but it was still nice to have.
The mixed fruit bingsoo had blueberries, mangoes, and strawberries, each in their own flavored syrup. There were a disproportionate number of mangoes and strawberries to blueberries. There could have been more blueberries, but the fruits were all sweet, although this may have been because of the syrup. This one, compared to the matcha one, needed the extra condensed milk.
For all fans of Korean culture, they have LINE plushies and the Descendants of the Sun plushies. They were also playing Descendants of the Sun with Chinese subs on one TV, and a mix of Big Bang, Apink, IU, GFriend, etc. on the other.
While there are better bingsoos in Toronto, I'll probably still come back because of the convenience of this location.
