This Korean stronghold does bing soo to the nines, dressing up its oversized bowls of shave ice with luscious produce (think: honeydew melon, cantaloupe and pineapple) and dreamy sauces. Add some bite by selecting mountainous indulgences bolstered by frozen yogurt or gelato.

A shared entryway feeds both Dessert Story and the adjoining Bonchon Chicken, providing wing lovers the opportunity to wind down their meals with elaborate “stories” including a coffee-themed offering laced with two shots of espresso and a Christmas-y looking tower of green tea-flavored shave ice ringed wreathed by gelatinous red beans.

This LeDroit Park hangout adds oomph to shave ice by weaving the cold stuff into rotating cocktails. The current crop of icy eye-openers includes the Arctic Sunrise (vodka, lychee, lime) and Trade Winds (rum, pineapple, cinnamon). Cheers to that!

This strip mall gem specializes in Taiwanese-style “snowcream,” a hybrid chiller that walks the line between traditional shave ice and standard ice cream. Flavors range from sweet cream (moo moo milk) to pumpkin spice (seasonal), while toppings (matcha green tea Pocky, anyone?) run the gamut.

This refurbished bus is always ready to school newcomers in the art of snocream appreciation — assuming one can find them. Tucked away in the rear of a Kmart parking lot, SnoCream rewards adventure seekers with robust flavors (taro root, almond, Thai tea) and far out additions (Fruity Pebbles cereal, aloe jelly, passion fruit-filled boba “bubbles”).
