Delicious Bingsu, Great Portions
I visited this restaurant late on a Saturday night, and it wasn't too busy. I ordered the taro and lychee bingsu, which were both nice and sweet. The portions were quite large, making them good for sharing between 2-3 people, or even 4.

Disappointing Chinese Food Experience
My experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing, primarily due to the food quality. The orange chicken was incredibly dry, and the accompanying vegetables appeared to have been simply boiled. The beef and broccoli lacked any distinct flavor, tasting rather bland. I was also surprised by the Shanghai soup dumplings, as they didn't contain the expected broth. Honestly, I believe Trader Joe's offers better Chinese food, which isn't a high bar to clear. To make matters worse, I suspect I experienced food poisoning from my meal. I definitely won't be returning.

Hidden Gem in West Portal!
I don't often visit the West Portal, but gems like Snow Bliss make it a compelling reason to! They specialize in bingsu, but their menu is huge, offering everything from popcorn chicken to rice plates and noodle soups. If you're in the mood for dim sum, they have that too! I ordered the popcorn chicken, wonton noodle soup, and matcha bingsu. The popcorn chicken was notable because it's made Chinese salt and pepper style, which made it really fragrant and savory. Not many places do it this way, but I think they should! Wonton noodle soup was also pretty solid, and the matcha bingsu was refreshing. The chewy mochi made every bite delicious and I would definitely come back here for a full meal, or just for dessert!

Delicious Food and Great Service!
I came here for lunch and had a fantastic experience. I ordered the beef chow fun and popcorn chicken with hot honey sauce, and both dishes were incredibly tasty. We also couldn't resist ordering the yummy tiramisu bingsu for dessert. The service was great throughout our meal. I will definitely come back again.

Unique Taro Bingsu Experience
My mom and I visited for dessert and decided to try the Taro Bingsu, which was a new experience for us. Although it cost $17. 99, its unique and yummy taste made the price worthwhile. My mom, who had never tried taro before, enjoyed it as well! My only suggestion is that I wish there was more condensed milk for drizzling. The waitress was fast and hard-working, and parking was conveniently easy with a spot right in front.

Nostalgic HK Desserts & Excellent Food
It's been over 20 years since I've experienced this type of restaurant in SF. Back in the early 2000s, HK style dessert started to become popular, especially in the Richmond District. Late-night red bean, coconut milk, jellies, taro. It was fantastic. Slowly, Boba drinks took over the scene. Snow Bliss not only brings back those amazing desserts but the food is also excellent! It has a HK vibe. Small, friendly, and delicious food.

Great Food, Service, and Atmosphere!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The service was great, and there were many food and drink options. I tried the mango and creme brûlée matcha, which were delicious. For food, I enjoyed the veggie chow mein, veggies fried rice, and salt and pepper tofu. For dessert, I had the lychee bingsu and sago. The place itself was very nice and didn't feel crowded, contributing to a wonderful atmosphere.

Unique Bingsu Flavors and Generous Portions
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I was impressed by the unique Bingsu flavors. What I really liked was that they put a lot of fruit and even provide extra sides with your order. I will definitely be going back soon!
