Snow Bowl(San Ramon)

Being from Hawaii, i love shave ice places. This place is the bomb. Ultra fine shave ice, tons of fresh fruit, add your own condensed milk, mochi cubes. We got the mango and strawberry bingsoo. Both were outstanding. This is my new favorite dessert place in the entire SF Bay Area!

I've been going to Snow Bowl when it was MandRo Teahouse and when it was only one store in Fremont so when my friends invited us for shaved ice I was pleasantly surprised it's a new branch in the Tri Valley area. Nothing more to talk about as it's my favorite place for shaved ice whenever I have a chance in the East Bay. They changed their name which is smart because it's the shaved ice that sets them apart not the tea. Even though it's using Bingsoo (which is Korean shaved ice) I'm fairly certain it's actually Chinese but who cares when it tastes good. The plaza is big but it's right next to the McDonald's if you have a hard time finding it. Seating is somewhat limited and I think for shaved ice it's better to eat there rather than taking it to go. Service is good enough even if it's usually just one person. Tip is optional which is good. You order through a kiosk. My favorite is the matcha or the original milk but mango is popular among kids.

Fresh tasting, not too sweet. Easy parking . Order on machines. Mango is one of my favs!!!

I’ve tried 5 different bingsoos, and injeolmi and matcha are my favorites. The shaved ice is milky, creamy, and delicious, so it’s not watery or icy. My friend group and I frequent this place since it opened a few weeks ago, so it’s safe to say we love hanging out at Snow Bowl!

Tried the matcha red bean bingsoo! It was good but I would've preferred a stronger matcha taste. Good enough to try again for sure!

It says Korean Style Bingsu, so I looked forward to it, but it's not Korean style for sure. I ordered green tea Bingsu, but it was good that it wasn't sweet. But Injeolmi Toast was really disappointing. The most uncomfortable part was that the younger boy, who appeared to be the owner's family, was constantly playing the game loudly, and the noise level was so loud that my head hurt, but when I tried to record it, I quit and went in and started another game. I will never visit again and I never recommend it.

Finally a bingsoo place close to home! Same management as Mandro Teahouse in Newark so we’re not surprised that they offer the same delicious bingsoo. Our all time favorite is Mango but I can’t wait to try the other flavors! Their gyoza is good too!
