I really love mango, and I heard there's a holy land of mango bingsu near Simhaksan, so I rushed over! I wanted a proper bingsu before summer ended and welcome autumn properly~ Today's spot is Fruit Forest (과일의 숲).

Fruit Forest parking and weekday evening wait

The parking lot below and in front of the shop fits 10+ cars! We came on a weekday evening, so there was no wait and plenty of parking space!

The moment you walk in, the fruit scent is amazing. Mango bingsu is the signature menu, so there's really a lot of fresh mango!!! Of course we had to order the fresh mango bingsu right away >.<

Fruit Forest menu and prices

Besides all kinds of fruit bingsu, Fruit Forest sells a variety of desserts and drinks. The Basque cheesecake baked in-store looked tempting too, but I'd heard the mango bingsu is huge... so today I ordered the mango bingsu!

They also sell moist sweet chestnuts for ₩4,000, a nice snack if you bring little ones~!! They're really steamed, so I bet they're soft!

We ordered the fresh mango snow bingsu!! This place is a bingsu specialist, so definitely order the bingsu~!

Fruit Forest seating and facilities for kids

The shop is very spacious and pleasant! There are sofa seats, window seats, outdoor seats and more. They have baby seats too, so even big families can come comfortably!!

One wall of Fruit Forest has a pretty rabbit painting!! I bet photos of your kids in front of it would turn out like the shot of a lifetime~!!

I liked that the shop has clean restrooms separated for men and women! When you go out with family, having a restroom really matters~

Fruit Forest fresh mango snow bingsu: taste and portion

The Fruit Forest fresh mango snow bingsu is ₩32,000 and serves 2–3 people, so the portion is really! big. With fresh mango and mango syrup, we've arrived in mango heaven~^^

Can you see this gorgeous fresh mango?!! Soft, slippery, fresh mango!!!! It's cut thin and long, so it's easier to eat, and I think even small children could gulp it down without choking.

Eating the fresh mango together with the soft snow ice is so good!! The snow ice melts in your mouth, ssarururu. You can't even feel the ice grains!

There's already mango syrup spread on the bottom layer of the bingsu, but I drenched it in the extra mango syrup they gave us and took a bite!! Ah, it's so good~!! Please try it at least once.

Final verdict on Fruit Forest Paju Direct Store

Even late on a weekday evening, Fruit Forest still has quite a few customers, a true bingsu hotspot! Parking is easy, and as for the taste, need I say more? It became my all-time favorite mango bingsu~ Do stop by with your family!
