But this review is about something bigger than dessert. The strawberry cheesecake here reminds me of my mom. It was her favorite, and it was one of the last desserts I got to share with her. Anytime she wanted a sweet treat, that's what she asked for. Ordering it now keeps me connected to her. This past July, on her 3rd birthday in heaven, I placed an order to celebrate her. The menu only had cherry cheesecake that day, so I wrote a note explaining what the strawberry meant to me. The staff didn't just make it happen, they sent an extra slice of strawberry cheesecake on top of it. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare. The people here have always been this kind. We love everyone who works there, and we're grateful for the small moments of care they've shown our family. Thank you for everything.

It really felt like it was delivered straight from the shop with no problems. The lotusella crepe was every biscoff lover's dream come true. The pairing with chocolate and banana and strawberry is a classic hit and I love that they didn't skimp on the chocolate or biscoff here. The layers of crepe were appropriate thickness and not too dense. I hate when they crepe is too thick and feels like you're getting a mouthful of dough. Not with this bad boy. I like the dusting of lotus crumbs and they actually don't go soggy which is nice. I can't wait to try more things of their menu. A true neighborhood gem!!

They had two small tables inside that sat 2 people. You order off the kiosk and they make the drinks fairly quickly. It looks like they measure out the ounces so it's the same ratio every time. Even with this, I felt like there was so much milk compared to matcha. I also felt like the matcha itself wasn't very strong. Be careful when selecting your sizes - I usually just get the small/regular but my best friend is a matcha fanatic and she usually gets the large size. Nippon Cha really said LARGE because their size is a 32oz!!! So if you're not planning on drinking a quarter gallon, just get the regular!

I asked if there was any way to fix this, and right away, the hostess brought us to another table with a much better view of that magnificent manhattan skyline and river. Then the food. Omg the food. We each ordered our main, after which they bring out an enormous tray of all these lovely nibble salads, pickles, dips, and pita. I don't eat wheat, and haven't my entire life, so I usually don't say anything about it if it seems to me the place doesn't cater to that sort of restriction. The server noticed however, and offered sliced cucumbers for the dips. Such a lovely detail, brava. Did I mention how deeeeeeeelicious everything was? Hubby had the steak shishlika which was perfectly tender and charred at once. I had the chicken shishlika which was good, but not the wow of the steak. Each and every salad, dip, pickle etc was perfectly spiced, cooked, presented. The nuances were just right. Nothing too precious or sideways. Just honest, well built yummy food. And the fries. You MUST get the fries. We ordered the tahini ranch along with the tahini catsup. In my opinion, that wasn't necessary. But if you're a ranch lover, go for it. Then the dessert! Soft serve with a cherry reduction and some kind of flourless chocolate brownie... I don't need to say more. The service was excellent. The food delicious. The view was perfect, though no one celebrated the sun going down like I was told they do. We will go back, with four or more so we can finish all the food.

I ordered a Red Beans Matcha with Taro Ball to go but decided to stay at the end. I was attractive by the environment and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. The dessert I had was one of the top sellers at their store and it was super yummy when I tried it. I liked the matcha ice cream, red beans, grass jelly, and especially the tarp balls! Taro ball is a must here and I'll come back just for it! Their durian dessert is also pretty good since I'm a durian lover. I tried their durian Crepe cake and pudding last time and they were all great and I'll recommend trying them as well. I'll definitely come back again. By the way, they also have a reward card which gives one free dessert away after you make your 10th purchases. read more

We got the Strawberry Match Latte, Matcha Daifuku, Strawberry Daifuku, and the Matcha Tiramisu Egg Tart. Again, presentation-wise, each item was beautiful. The matcha in the latte wasn't strong at all; it was kind of diluted by the milk and strawberry. However, it was very strong in the daifuku. I did, however, absolutely love the strawberry daifuku. The balance of sweet and tang was perfect. It felt like a pillowy, refreshing bite. The egg tart was a little unexpected as the matcha powder was strong, but the cream portion was overpowered by the actual tart, so the matcha wasn't too strong in that. Overall, really cute spot for a quick grab and go, especially when you have a bit of a sweet tooth. They also had cute little decorations and drawings around the store.
