Sulbing was the perfect dessert after a filling Korean BBQ meal.

We got the Mango Cheese and Green Tea bingsoo. Similar to the current size at Jack Frost, the ones at Sulbing are adequate. Smaller sizes are easier to finish. The mango was tasty and sweet with fluffy semi-sweet snow underneath. Little nuggets of cheesecake surrounded the ice cream. Loved how they provided a side of condensed milk on the side to customize the sweetness. With two scoops on ice cream on top and bits of mochi with red bean on the side, the green tea was pretty decent. Again, the sweetness level was moderate, hence the green tea came through with a slight bitterness. Usually, I'm not a fan of red bean, but with the mochi, it was good.

For something different, we got the Chocolate Mint featuring chocolate brownie bites, Oreo bits, and mint ice cream. This was the sweetest bingsoo of the bunch due to the ingredients involved. Beyond the usual chocolate sugariness of the Oreos and brownies, the mint ice cream added a nice balance. Overall, we were satisfied with the items we tried at Sulbing and wondered why there are so few bingsoo options along North Road (it's like K-Town after all).

The Good:

• Customizable sweetness with side of condensed milk

The Bad:

• Portions are small

• Parking in the complex is lacking

• Tables are narrow and not built well
