Great place to get a delicious cone. You can taste the quality. All the flavors where smooth, milky, and not overly sweet. There is a cute deck you can sit after you exit the shop.

Very clean, storefront and the ice cream was as impressive as the reputation. Definitely going back for more. The Soulmate (Ice cream with the croffle) was delicious. The croffle is their rendition of a croissant and waffle.

It’s hard to find good matcha flavored ice cream outside of Benihana’s or a pint of Haagen Dazs. Bumsan nailed it. Getting it swirled with their plain milk is a nice way to balance out the sweetness and adding their homemade cereal topping is a fun way to add some crunch.

Very tasty, light and creamy. The toppings pair well with the flavors. They also have something called a crawffle.

True milk and matcha swirl were delicious. Croffle tastes exactly as you think it would taste.

I’m not kidding when I say this is THE best ice cream I’ve ever tasted! I just can’t explain how amazing the flavor is but I just know that every time I get a taste, I literally melt away. It’s like heaven in your mouth. I’ve only gotten the guava and the combination of true milk with matcha and OMG they are amazing! I can’t wait to try the other flavors! I truly recommend this place to everyone!

My favorite icecream spot!They are still open during quarantine but I recommend calling in your order with Postmates through Google for pickup. They wont let your icecream sit out- they only make it once you arrive, and they already know your order and youve already paid so it is super convenient!I love SOMI SOMI soft serve, but BUMSAN Milk Bar beats them in variety, flavors, instagrammability, and SOFTNESS. The softserve is SO SOFT itll literally start melting as you pay for it!! Take your photos fast or youll find your self leaning other the trashcan as your dessert drips away before your very eyes XD. The service here is always fast and friendly, everything is very clean too but the place is SMALL so please respect quarantine rules.I was lucky enough to go here the swme day Insider Foods reviewed the place in 2018, so enjoy some old photos of me and my friend with Caroline Mishelle. I also attached new pictures (you can tell by the significant weight loss).

We looked it up online. It was among the top ten places to eat ice cream in LA.And trust me it dis not disappoint. We got two icecream with a waffle. The the waffle was hot and the cone was also fresh. The ice cream was amazing and creamy and just out of this world.I would def. Go back and try the other ice cream flavors.

So good, lightly creamy, tasty! The cone with various flavors on the rim is a nice touch, oh yes, free lightly sprinkled topping is a bonus! Must try, love the swirl matcha & milk tea flavor. Daughter loved the taro & chocolate swirl. Youngest daughter loved the swirl mango & guava, I tasted now that was refreshing!

Review №19

From my experience, its the best tasting soft Ive cream place in LA.... but 4-star because of the price...$5+ for a soft ice cream cone or in a cup .... really? Still worth trying at least once.... and good for IG pictures

Ja
Review №20

Cup or cone (various types of cones) options; can choose one flavor or swirls; 1 free topping per ice cream.Definitely quality ice cream. Worth it. Open until 10 PM, even during this Coronavirus outbreak. Thank goodness.

Yummy!!! You cant go wrong with the True Milk premium organic ice cream. Perfect for a hot day or as a palate cleanser.

Review №22

Why the hell have I waited all this long to try this place? Let me tell you: TRUE MILK Ice cream is the bomb!! Plenty of outdoor area to have a socially distancing moment and enjoy this DELICIOUS ice cream.

Review №23

Im an ice cream fanatic. Like I eat ice cream daily! All the way from Ohio, I am screaming this is the BEST ICE CREAM Ive EVER had!! Im not even sure if I feel comfortable calling it ice cream. Its heaven on a cone!! Ive had to go out to LA 3 times this year. The first time I stumbled across this place. Didnt get a chance to go on my 2nd trip. But, made it my business to stop by on my 3rd trip. This place is TOTALLY unMATCHed. 😊 True milk and guava swirl on a fruity pebbles cone with fruity pebbles sprinkles. Life changing!! And the guy behind the counter...SO WELCOMING, makes the experience even better!

Review №24

I can put this as one of my favorite ice cream places so far. Their matcha x true milk is sooo good and it comes with a free topping.I think the only downside is the wait. 15 mins or so and we were only 3rd or 4th in line.

Soft serve was okay. A really strong milk taste, and presentation was great! Would recommend the pineapple mango flavor!

Out here visiting from Chicago during a winter deep freeze & this place was so damn delicious! My wife & I had Sea salt caramel and waffle cones and our friend had Haro milk tea. This stop was so so tasty. Might come back before we fly back home.

Review №28

Bumsan has some of the softest melting ice cream. The taste is fresh and so very refreshing. It was an amazing eating experience. The cones threw me off with their unique and unusual shape. Different colored sugar rimmed ice cream! The fact that its organic is definitely a big plus.The staff is also very friendly, if you are debating on flavors, you can ask for a taste :)

Review №36

First time trying this gem of an icecream place in Ktown after a friend reccomended we all go here. Even though they were closing they still let us in and stayed open which was super nice. The icecream is a unique soft serve blend that I havent had before with flavors like Taro and pineapple chocolate that all come in a waffle cone of your choice. To top it all off, you get 1 free topping with your cone and I chose to get the cornflakes which added a nice sweet crunch. Friendly workers. Highly reccomend👌🏻🍦

Review №37

The building and store setup was clean. I liked what I saw and that you could sample some of the flavors! Staff was really nice. However, Im not sure if I could say positive things about the soft serve/ice cream. Although I could appreciate how fresh the ingredients are, the flavor just lacked that ooopmfth that would make me want to come back for more.The matcha tasted overly sweet while lacking an authentic matcha taste whereas the true milk was probably the standalone star. But even then, it didnt really shine enough for me to give it good reviews. It was okay at best.I would go elsewhere.

Review №38

I got the taro milk tea and hazelnut soft serve with oreo dust. I definitely enjoyed the taro milk tea flavor more. The store itself is very small and you have to either eat outside or eat it to go. You can’t really go wrong with soft serve.

Review №39

I love to take my boys out for treats in Ktown. They loved this place very cute. The ice cream selection was very different from the norm. It was on the pricey side for me that’s why I gave it a 4 stars. But it was an enjoyable experience highly visually appetizing.

Super cute shop, and they even have a pink wall and area for picture taking. The soft serve was good too but service was ok and I wish they were consistent in their swirls. Sometimes it looks unappealing.

Review №42

It’s good. Don’t have much else to add, haha. I’ve had several other milk flavor-forward ice cream spots, and it’s hard for me to tell the difference between them all. But there’s no doubt this place does the job well to its purest form. A great place to walk to for dessert if you’re eating at one of the million restaurants nearby.

Review №43

Also the ice cream tasted really good. The workers were okay. The price was good. The best ice cream in the area, by far! Holding the level of consistency as high as the most challenging recipes and requirements for ice cream.

Review №44

Such an adorable little shop!! Im completely obsessed with Matcha, so this True Milk Matcha swirl cone was SO amazing. The ice cream is incredibly smooth and creamy. The only downside is no inside seating and the outside area is pretty small too.

Perfect ice cream - try extra black! This is a chocolate explosion in your body =) you cant choose any wrong flavour. Really excellent ice cream experience

Review №47

The ice cream used to be good, I asked for sample of the milk+matcha and it tasted weird together. I then asked for a sample of each flavor separately and the cashier looked irritated at me for asking a sample of each when the customer before me literally had a sample of every flavors PLUS MASKS OFF. I ended up buying a cup of the milk flavor and it didnt taste as good as was two years ago. Customer service was pretty bad, I won’t be coming back in a while...

Delicious ice cream. Really Instagram ready food. They let you sample flavors but no one ever made me feel rushed, even though they had a bit of a line. Ice cream was high quality. A little more expensive than I normally go for but pretty common for the area.

Review №53

The ice cream in this place is very delicious, but the girl who attends this place has such a horrible attitude, she never smiles, she is not friendly, she does not invite to return to this place again, the presentation of a business begins with the staff of the same, I think this girl doesnt like her job.

Review №54

One of the new soft serve places in ktown. I have only ever had the milk flavor which is very mild and not overly sweet. I’m not a fan of their cones, as it looks like those bad wafer cookies. Hopefully they can have more of the waffle cones in the future. It does come with one free topping, however, they only dust one side of the soft serve, what is up with that?

E.

Love the chocolate ice cream!! So creamy and rich. And the milk ice cream was yummy, too. It tasted a lot like cheesecake! The shop itself is v small inside but they have an outdoor patio to hang out in, and it makes for a good spot for aesthetic pictures, haha. Would love to come again.

This place is great! I got the matcha and milk twist combo. The matcha flavor is actually flavorful. The soft serve is smooth and the flavors really complement each other. Parking is also convenient. They have their own parking lot, though it does fill up fast. But people leave pretty quickly. I would definitely come back!

Review №62

The ice cream is delicious! I got the matcha and true milk swirl and I definitely recommend it! However the only reason I didn’t put 5 stars was because of our server. She acted as if she didn’t wanna be there and like it was a chore to serve us. 100% recommend the ice cream but our server was the only thing that put me off from enjoying the full experience. She also seemed to act very impatient and bothered by my parents who don’t speak fluent English and were confused by the menu.

Review №64

Nice place to grab different flavored ice cream. They have True Milk, Matcha, Chocolate, Taro Milk Tea, Pomeberry (pomegranate & cranberry). They also have the option of swirling two flavors, which is awesome. Different toppings such as Oreo, Fruity Pebbles, Fruit Loops, Frosted Flakes and sprinkles. If that’s not enough they have different dipped cones to choose from! Definitely worth the visit!

Small location, parking kinda sucks but still recommend. I had the True Milk and the Fruity Pebbles, as someone who is not a big fan of Milk this was so delicious! The cashier was really helpful in deciding which to get. I almost went back for another. Price is $8.90 for the special cone and ice cream. Definitely instagrammable.

Review №67

Nice soft serve ice cream in LA! Pretty good value for the portion of ice cream that you get! They have quite a range of toppings you can choose from to dip around the cone and it looks so pretty together with the ice cream on top! We had the milk and matcha, milk and chocolate flavours and we both enjoyed them a lot!

Not bad soft serve ice cream. They have 10 different sprinkled cones, 6 flavors, 3 swirls, and 4 toppings to choose from. If youre looking for a picture friendly ice cream photo, this is the place. The building itself is pink and they have an outdoor bench to sit on.

So so delicious! I’ve tried the matcha, taro milk tea and chocolate. I highly recommend getting a swirl and make sure to add toppings!

Just moved across the street to this lovely gem. The ice cream is phenomenal. No other word can explain. The gentleman who helped us was a sweetheart. They have both kinds of sprinkles!

Finally, I came here after a long time on my wishlist. Im in love with this ice cream in Ktown. Im not sure if its real or the same ice cream as in Korea, but it tastes great and interesting to me. I got a mix of two flavors and it was a fantastic combination! And the price! The price very affordable for ice cream in LA area!

Review №96

I came here with a friend to try their ice cream after reading reviews of this place. Their matcha milk swirl I heard was the best. I was truly surprised after trying their matcha, that definitely hit the spot. It had the perfect blend of sweet but it didnt over do it. It maintained its freshness and above all, the look of their ice creams are something worth taking a picture for. It is something worth checking out at least once, and to take a picture of their ice cream. Will definitely come back. I also liked how their seating area outside kind of makes people feel like we all know each other and strike a conversation. Its strange I felt that, but thats how it feels and thats honestly needed in LA. When in K town, check it out!

Since this is an organic milk bar I went straight for the basic vanilla with sprinkles. It disappears as soon as you get it. Nature has no bad angles, and this stuff taste just as good as it looks, if not better. I have not found better soft serve in LA as of yet
