    Came here for the free taste app, banana pudding, but didn't realize it wasn't till Saturday lol. We ended up getting the banana pudding since it was like six bucks. Not bad! I did expect the Thai tea taste to be stronger. I also was a bit thrown off because I thought it would be cold and creamier because they said it was pudding. Still not bad tho! We got to sit in a nice space outside and the staff member was so sweet.

    Came in around noon on a Saturday. The store is small but has a really nice ally garden next to it to sit in. The service situation here is odd, and additionally they told me they weren't serving the wafers but didn't tell me why. It was so early I can't imagine they were sold out but who knows. I ended up getting the Thai tea float with almond milk and I have to say the almond milk didn't effect the tea, which wasn't too sweet but was a good strong flavor so over all liked the tea. I love really liked the Thai tea ice cream on top. It was also a great strong flavor but not too sweet. I honestly felt like the tea would have been better with a thick whipped cream on toast which for some reason was what I was expected? Not sure why but something odd with the combination. Would come back to try other things but probably wouldn't get the same thing again.

    Came for the Pandan Wafer, but they were sold out! It was probably my fault for showing up 40 min before closing, but I had hoped for a miracle. Sigh. Next time. Instead, I got the pandan ice-cream with toasted coconut and cigar cookie. It was creamy, not too sweet and full of the subtle nuttiness of this amazing plant. Yum. Now I HAVE to come back for its wafer cousin. The space has some seating for maybe eight people total, but it's claustrophobically narrow and you'll be playing twister just to get to the trash can.

    Note- Shorter review than most that I do, as I only ordered 1 thing as a snack/drink. I went here a good while back to this small Thai dessert and coffee cafe for a bit of a pick-me-up while walking. Meaning "deliciously blended," they offer a small selection of Thai-inspired beverages, including tea and coffee, along with a handful of desserts, such as toasts and ice cream. The staff was friendly, and the place inside, while small, seems like a nice place to work, with a warm and comforting atmosphere. I went with the Signature Blend Thai Tea Latte, available hot or iced, with the usual coffee/tea sizes: 8 to 12 oz for hot and 12 to 16 oz for the large. I went with iced, and it was $7 or $7.50 depending on size, and I went with the latter. It was very tasty, with the tea flavor shining through, unlike most variants. It wasn't overly sweet from the various milks, with enough spices to make it distinctly the Thai version of this drink. For the same price point, you can also order it hot, without milk, or mixed with lemonade, along with an oat option for an extra dollar. This is a tasty little specialty shop. I would go back here and try the pandan toast or another drink.

    I really enjoyed the thai tea and the toast we got. The flavors were good and not too sweet. Service was great and it's a cute shop! If I lived in NY, I'd come more often. This is what actual thai tea is btw so support :)!!

    Dessert/Drinks: 4.5/5 Service: 4.75/5 Ambiance: 4.5/5 Value: 2.5/5 This is a cute, cozy cafe tucked away in Midtown, specializing in delicious Southeast Asian inspired flavors. The dessert and drinks are exceptional, though the prices can be a little steep What we tried: Thai Iced Tea (4.75/5): Absolutely loved this! It had a strong, authentic tea flavor and was perfectly balanced--sweet but not overwhelmingly so. Definitely a must-order. Pandan Ice Cream (5/5): Five stars all the way. The pandan flavor was strong and natural, and it achieved that rare feat of being wonderfully rich without being excessively sweet. Kaya Thai Tea Toast (3.75/5): This was my least fave. While okay, I think it would be significantly better if it were served with a scoop of ice cream to complement the toast which is the parfait on the menu Tip: They offer a free Thai Iced Tea if you leave a Google review!

    Cute shop walking distance from Madison Square Park and Herald Square. It is located right next to a small alley with benches outside. The inside is a long, narrow walkway with two tables and four chairs facing the park. People seem to grab and go or if they do sit down it's for a quick bite. They specialize in Thai Tea flavored items, but they also offer coffee and other products. I got a Thai Tea latte which is their version of the Thai iced tea, a scoop of Thai tea ice-cream, and the Thai tea kaya toast. The Thai tea latte comes in regular whole milk or oat milk for an extra dollar. The drink was milky and strong at the same time. It's not as sweet as other Thai iced tea. I saw a lady ask for more condensed milk in her drink. My boyfriend enjoyed the Thai tea latte though! The Thai tea ice-cream was my favorite out of the three items. It has strong Thai tea flavor with the sweetness of Ice-Cream, but it was not overly sweet to the point I cannot handle. It was honestly perfect. The kaya toast comes in pandan or Thai tea flavor. Ive always had kaya in it's original flavor or pandan flavor at home, so I decided to go for the thai tea. I like the flavor but I did not liked the toast. I think it was too airy and thick for my liking. I prefer it a bit more toasted. But overall, a very cute place. Would definitely be back if I'm craving Thai tea icecream or kaya. The server was very nice and accommodating too.

    Soo cute and cozy! Loved the Thai tea ice cream and Thai tea hot chocolate, they have lots of creative winter drinks. I'd love to come back and try more drinks! The staff were soo kind. It's a small shop but has a bit of seating and lots of personality.

    Drinks and food were all intense with flavor. Loveeeee all the pandan. Would definitely order the same thing again or maybe try some other things. The worker we had was super sweet and recommended us their faves. Although small, its perfect for 1-2 people. Will be back for sure!!

    Thai Tea Float, Thai Tea Latte
    Srinanda G.

    This place definitely focuses more on the Thai tea itself and less on sugar. Personally, it was too much for me, and I wasn't a fan because of the strong tea and lack of sweetness. I was looking forward to trying the banana pudding, but it was sold out by the time we got there. The kaya toast was unique, though I don't think it's something I would reach for again. Overall, bit of an underwhelming experience.

    Matt L.

    I liked the Thai tea latte hot with the $1 toasted marshmallows over it. The texture of the marshmallows is actually a perfect bed of fluff that slowly melts over the Thai tea. The toast was okay--I think it would have been better if it were actually fully toasted or some sugar caramelized the outside of it to add another layer of flavor. Mine was basically soft white bread with Thai tea flavored Kaya over it, which was a little too much one note sweetness for me by the final bite.

    I stopped by Nuar before dinner in the area to grab a Thai Tea. You order at the register and they'll call your name when your order is ready. Service was super friendly and quick. I took my Thai Tea to the outdoor seating area and enjoyed it. It's much less sweet than the Thai Tea that is normally served in Thai restaurants and has less of the bright orange color. It was still enjoyable and creamy. Note: When I went around 5pm, they had sold out of many of their desserts!

I was at this quaint tea shop east of Koreatown earlier in the evening before going to a meal at the excellent new Thai place, Wanglang. The staff was very friendly, and they specialize in matcha, along with having hojicha, genmaicha, black tea, and sencha. Along with more traditional drinks, they also have fruit options as well as black sugar jelly (I presume kuromitsu) and a Japanese citrus that's not seen much here, hyuganatsu. Along with the citrus, this place is rather unique as they had three different matcha options in terms of variety. As I tend to prefer teas pure and without add-ons, I ordered the Matcha Americano, which is simply matcha and water. I went with the 12-oz version for $6 + tax and ordered the Hajime, though I would likely get the Fuku No Midori next time based on descriptions online. The matcha was solid and had a mild sweetness and a light earthiness. However, it lacked some of the mouth coating found in very high-quality drinks from Sorate or Setsugekka, while being similar in price. Still, that is comparing to some of the best, and this was still very tasty and a lot better than 90% of the places in the city, being more comparable to Kettl. I wouldn't mind going back and ordering the other matcha varietal to see whether that is a better comparison. Outside of this, I enjoyed my drink, and the staff was friendly. I hope they do well.

    Mika's Direction is a small matcha-focused shop tucked slightly off the main flow of Koreatown,…read moreeasy to miss if you are not actively looking for it. The space is extremely compact, functioning more like a takeout counter than a café, with only minimal room inside. The main focus here is matcha, with a distinctive approach that lets you choose between three blends: Hinata, which leans creamy and nutty; Hajime, which is more smoky and earthy; and a more traditional-style matcha profile. Drinks like the mango matcha show how they play with these bases, though fruit purées can sometimes overshadow the matcha depending on the combination. They also offer matcha powder for home use and occasional fresh pastries that add a warm, baked aroma to the space. Service is one of the strongest parts of the experience. The staff is consistently warm, attentive, and willing to explain the differences between blends in detail. The atmosphere is cozy but extremely tight, built for short visits rather than lingering. It is not a workspace or hangout café, but more of a quick stop that stands out because of its hospitality and focus on craft. Even in a busy area, it leaves a memorable impression through its matcha quality and genuinely personable service.

Located inside Hashi Market, we walked into a space that feels less like a typical café and more like discovering a hidden Japanese food stop while browsing through the store. The setup is simple but has a unique appeal, the kind of place that works well for a quick drink, dessert, or something to take with you while exploring the area. The connection to the market adds a layer of discovery that makes the visit feel more interesting, and the compact, functional design keeps the focus on the quality of the matcha rather than the surroundings. The matcha offerings are the main highlight, especially for anyone who enjoys a stronger and more authentic matcha flavor. We tried the matcha latte and appreciated that the matcha taste was noticeable rather than being overwhelmed by sweetness. The flavor had a deeper earthy quality, which made it stand out from many sweeter matcha drinks that focus more on milk and syrup. Their matcha ice cream and matcha soft serve also seem to be popular choices, and the desserts lean more toward showcasing the matcha itself instead of just using it as a flavoring. What we liked about Fujiissa is that the menu feels more creative than the standard matcha lineup. Along with traditional options, they have more unique combinations like matcha cold foam drinks and other specialty creations. The matcha affogato is especially appealing for matcha lovers because it highlights both the creamy ice cream texture and the concentrated matcha flavor together. The service was another positive part of the visit. The staff were friendly and helpful with recommendations, which made it easier to decide what to try. Since the space is connected to a Japanese market, it is also a nice place to browse before or after getting a drink rather than being only a quick grab-and-go stop. Fujiissa is a great spot for anyone looking for matcha that has a stronger flavor and a more Japanese-inspired feel. It is not the place to recommend if you prefer very sweet dessert-style matcha, but for people who enjoy the actual taste of matcha, the drinks and desserts are worth checking out. The combination of the market setting, unique menu options, and quality matcha makes it a memorable stop, offering a matcha experience that feels both authentic and thoughtful without overcomplicating what it sets out to do.

And I commonly see the upstairs for private events like baby showers, bridal showers, or birthday parties on social media. After dinner with my friends, I was looking for dessert and I was glad to see this location closes relatively late on a weekday night at 11 pm. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a waiter who led us to one of the purple velvet chair booths that was perfect for two people and another waiter brought us a pitcher of water almost immediately. The menu is on a QR code already on the table and we were given ample of time to decide. My friend and I both already knew what we wanted to order. I got the purple Yam Souffle which takes 25 minutes to make and my friend got the fried squid tails. We also got a signature Rose Green Milk Tea to share. The waitress who took our order has great memory and recalled all of our items without writing it down. She also reminded me that I could adjust the ice and sugar levels of my drink which I had completely forgotten and would have got annoyed if my drink came out 100% sweetness. Another thing is that my drink order frequently comes out wrong at other locations so I was glad she got it right! Green tea instead of black tea and with milk instead of without milk. The purple Yam Souffle is just like the other locations. Hot, soft cakey texture balanced with an ice cold red bean Ice-Cream. So delicious! The squid tails on the other hand was not what we expected. It came out burnt and hard. The outer batter was not crispy either. We informed one of the waiters and he brought it back to inform the kitchen staff. We received a new batch that was not as burnt and had more flavoring this time around. However, the squid was still hard and not like the ones we get from other locations with smaller crispier pieces. Overall, it was still a good experience and I love the decorations at this location! This might be my second favorite location after the Flushing one. Would love to come back for brunch or hi-tea. Or regular food options when I have not already eaten dinner. My usual go-tos are the twister fries, Santa Fe chicken rolls, fried salted crispy chicken, and the trio dessert combo. However, this location has a lot more variety! FYI - there are two unisex restrooms in the rear for customers to use with really cute wallpapers too.

We walked into a space where the interior is one of the biggest highlights, featuring floral décor, chandeliers, and cozy seating that gives the room a refined yet comfortable atmosphere. Despite being in the middle of Koreatown, it feels like a quiet escape from the busy streets outside, with a calm, polished energy that makes it equally suitable for catching up with friends, celebrating a special occasion, or simply relaxing with dessert. The menu offers an extensive variety of teas alongside cakes, soufflés, waffles, and afternoon tea sets. We ordered the crepe cakes, particularly the matcha and purple yam varieties, both of which were among the standout desserts. The matcha crepe had a clean, earthy flavor that balanced well with the cream, while the purple yam offered a sweeter, more indulgent profile. The soufflés and lava cakes provide warmer options for those looking for something more substantial, and the tea selection is equally impressive, ranging from classic loose-leaf teas to milk teas and fruit-infused blends, allowing plenty of combinations to pair with desserts or light meals. There are also savory options like sandwiches and small plates, making it more than just a dessert café and giving the menu a broader appeal for a full afternoon tea experience. The atmosphere encourages lingering rather than rushing through a meal. Service is generally friendly, and the presentation of both the drinks and desserts adds to the experience. The café can become busy during afternoons and weekends, especially for afternoon tea service, so a short wait before being seated is not unusual. Once inside, however, the spacious layout and relaxed pace make it easy to settle in and take your time with the menu. Prince Tea House Ktown stands out as one of the better dessert cafés in the area thanks to its combination of beautiful décor, extensive tea selection, and well-executed desserts. It feels like a destination rather than simply a place to grab something sweet, and it is an easy recommendation for anyone looking to enjoy afternoon tea, celebrate a special occasion, or take a break while exploring Koreatown.

I will definitely be back to earn more rewards and try more of their pastries.
