I had no idea this cute restaurant was located in this shopping center! You can't see it directly from the parking lot - you have to walk into the center and it's the first stop on the left. The food here is delicious and the four course menu allows you to try multiple dishes for under $40! I did the four course menu B with the soup, baked lobster, lamb Wellington, and a tart for dessert. The soup was okay - a standard corn chowder with a little bit of crab mixed it. I really liked the baked lobster, especially with the sauce it's served with. It's a nice combination of rich flavors with the freshness of the toppings. The lamb Wellington is a must try. The puff pastry and lamb was great, but the pepper sauce really tops everything off nicely. If you get dessert, you can enter the store when you're ready (and when it's clear - there's a 4 person limit). You can pick any item in their showcase and then sit back down. They'll bring it back over to your table to eat. Overall, a really nice experience with good food! read more

Tiny Pyramid - Chocolate Mac Nut tart and a banana coconut mousse. - Cafes Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

When amazing yelper Nadine asked me if I heard of Tiny Pyramid, I said no. She said "great!" She mentioned that this place serves delicious desserts. So glad she invited us to have lunch here. While waiting for our tables, we looked at the desserts on display. The array of desserts looked scrumptious! After looking at the dessert showcase, we got an idea of what we will plan to order. The menu offers a good selection of food such as sandwiches (Croissant, Tuna Wellington), curries and stir fry (J'Jun, Thai Thai, Red, Green Yellow Curries), pizza (Cheese, Veggie, Angel, NY, and Garlic), pasta and linguine such as Tomato Cream, Classic and entrees such as fisherman's pot pie, baked salmon, Seafood Brioche. The menu looks great. I ordered the Thai Thai noodles with tofu. It tasted prefect. It came with tofu, mung beans, carrots, zucchini, and egg. Joseph requested for the J'Jun. Nadine ordered the cheese pizza. The service rates an A+. We did not feel rushed when we ate our lunch. We took the time to eat our food. Come and enjoy the food. Bring the family, friends or a date. read more

Since JJ Bistro and French Pastry closed their restaurant in Kaimuki late-January 2018, word soon got out the business rebranded to Tiny Pyramid (TP) and opened for business in March 2018. The torch was passed on from father to daughter with a similar concept. I was curious to try TP but I didn't make it a priority to come here. I've read mixed reviews of friends who came here and just wasn't convinced. Then, my niece came here with her classmate several months ago and spoke highly of this place. So, when friends asked where I wanted to celebrate my birthday, I chose TP. Located in Na Lama Kukui on N Nimitz Hwy, next to Ross Dress for Less and across Liliha Bakery, TP offers a French/Asian flair of soups, salads, appetizers, pizza, seafood and pasta dishes. TP also has a 4-course menu just like JJ Bistro. But the main attraction of both businesses has got to be their large range of French inspired desserts. Inside TP you'll have several display cases of an extensive selection of visually appealing desserts with so many different techniques and ingredients. Dining with Auntie (aka Nadine C.) is such a great honor because she plans ahead. She made reservations, which are highly recommended. As we arrived to our 530pm seating, there were several tables already eating and all other tables had "reserved" signs displayed. Very impressive. After checking in with the staff, we were escorted to our table, where we completed their contact tracing form and took our temperature. With COVID, outdoor seating is only currently offered at this time, which is ideal during this pandemic. However, regardless it was breezy in the open parking lot, the outdoor seating was warm and muggy. I thought it was just me until several friends commented the discomfort. There were no fans present so our dining experience was unpleasant. I had my eyes set on the 4-course meal and here's what I ate: Cream Corn Soup with Blue Crab Meat (4/5) This was a tasty bowl of corn soup with corn kernels and flakes of crab here and there. It was served to my liking piping hot but could have used some black or white pepper and some aromatic veggies (celery/onion) for some crunch and added flavor. Soft Shelled Crab (4/5) Visually, this was an impressive appetizer as my soft shelled crab was deep fried to a nice golden brown color but sadly it was plated tepid. Would have been excellent if it was served hot. The crab was accompanied with a green salad drizzled with a house Oriental dressing. Lamb Wellington (2/5) I had such high hopes for my entree only to have it fall short. On a positive note, I'm pleased the Lamb Wellington was made to order because it came out piping hot. The puff pastry was super flaky yet moist inside. I was disappointed the lamb was cooked well done when I usually eat lamb medium. Although I visually saw 2 rib bones, the lamb meat didn't equivalent to the 2 ribs. The overall medallion was small so the meat cooked quickly and thoroughly. The dish came with some mashed potatoes and small pieces of veggies - - nothing earth shattering. Marron Glacé (1/5) I enjoy chestnut desserts so after confirming with the staff this was indeed a chestnut themed dessert, I was sold. But sadly, after taking a bite, the alcohol overpowered the dessert and there was no flavor or texture of chestnut or sweetness to be found. I was eating Panna cotta spiked with alcohol. It sat on a well executed shortbread crust but sadly I ended up not finishing my dessert. I initially was going to choose either Earl Grey or their signage chocolate pyramid. On top of the Earl Grey I saw dusted cocoa powder and feared the cocoa powder would compete and perhaps overpower the subtle tea flavor. For the chocolate pyramid, I had a hunch it might look better than the actual taste. Luckily, a mini chocolate pyramid was used as a candle holder as Auntie informed the restaurant we were celebrating my birthday. And I was right - - the pyramid looks better than the taste. One bite and I was done. I'm glad I didn't choose this dessert as this would have been equally disappointing. Service was decent. The staff came to our table periodically and refilled our much needed water glasses as it was warm and humid during our stay. Lots of free parking on premise and we noticed quite a few people brought their own alcohol. Overall, this was a dining experience where I walked away disappointed. It's always great to spend quality time with good friends. Hands down, the company far exceeded TP's food and ambiance. I'm glad I finally tried TP and have no desire for a return visit soon for a chance at redemption. read more

I ordered the baked opakapaka which was really good; however, the Portion was a little smaller than expected given the price of the entree. We had a bigger group and it took a while for the waiter to come and take our order. After ordering, it also took some additional time for the food to come out. The deserts look amazing but due to the amount of time we spent waiting, I couldn't enjoy them as I had to get back to work. I'll definitely try again another time. read more

Location/Parking: The restaurant is located in the Na Lama Kukui on Nimitz. There is ample free parking for two hours. Food: You come here for the desserts!!! They make a wide selection of desserts that are beautifully displayed in their shop. My favorite dessert is the Thai Tea dessert for its unique flavors. I tried their cream soup, lao roll, lobster pasta, lobster pad Thai, lamb Wellington and an iced mocha. The coffee was strong! I recommend the cream soup, Lao roll and the lobster pad Thai for their amazing flavors. The lobster pasta lacked flavor. The lamb Wellington was delicious but it was such a small piece of the leg of lamb. Price: It's priced high at $5-$6 for each dessert and entrees over $20. Seating: It is outdoor seating. No indoor seating. Overall, I'm glad to try this restaurant but the show stopper are the beautifully made desserts! Get the desserts when you are here. read more

The desserts are plentiful and delicious. The problem is that the entree portions of food were tinier that the pyramid and for the cost, it was not worth it. The size served was more appropriate for a course meal. I could understand the cost if the location afforded a scenic view and ambiance, but it is located in what best can be described as a home design mall's hallway. read more

Ive been coming to Tiny Pyramid for years and have enjoying eating everything Ive tasted here so far. It is a cute cafe style restaurant having Lao fusion appetizers and entrees. Most of their desserts are individual sizes and all made in-house. They are located across the street from Liliha Bakery and Little Joe's Steakhouse in the Nā Lama Kukui Lifestyle and Design Center on the ground level. There were 4 of us this time around for lunch. I had the corn soup (it comes with or without crab) and the Lao Roll which was a lemongrass curry chicken summer roll with a green salad. Both were very pleasing to my palate. I did try my daughter's pate chaud and it tasted like chinese pork hash in a puff pastry. My m-i-l had the corn soup and the soft shell crab BLT and she ate her whole meal! Usually, she only eats half of her food at other restaurants, but she couldnt stop eating because it was so good. If you havent tried this place yet, you should. You can call for reservations just in case. read more

This place is across the Liliha Bakery and Zippy's on Nimitz. I usually don't pass by this area. However, when I do I usually stop by for a quick drink and dessert. They have a lot of different cake choices. The chocolate pyramid is always available. The service was fairly fast and workers were nice. The drinks are made fresh so you'll have to wait a bit. Right outside is a dining area if you wanted to do brunch here with a friend. I didn't dine in so I couldn't get a pic of the dining menu. read more

My favorite dish is the Khao Sui, a curry-ish pasta dish. It's so flavorful and pairs nicely with the fettuccine. I've had a number of other items here before but always end up with this. For dessert, the cheesecakes are delicious and the lighter cakes are better than the fruit tarts (sorry, but I can make a better one) and chocolate options (I'm neutral when it comes to chocolate). It's popular for lunch and quiet for dinner, which is terrific if you want to be able to talk with your friends. They have an affordable 3-course dinner menu and they will sub out the entree with the Khao Sui upon request. read more

Tiny Pyramid Bistro and Pastry Bar has so many desserts! People can dine in, too. They sell drinks and t-shirts. We were there for dessert, and it was so hard to choose just a few. They are popular for the chocolate lovers Pyramid. If you ask, they also give a complimentary birthday chocolate pyramid! The size was an inch in diameter. So cute!

Came here for late lunch and early dinner at 3:30. We were told we came at a good time because the restaurant has been crazy busy, especially during lunch time. Hubby's first time- I had been wanting to take him here. We had the lamb Wellington. So good with 2 lamb chops encased in light phyllo. We ordered the lobster ravioli -we took chef's suggestion and had the combo sauce with Alfredo and tomato. Perfect blend. I'll tell you to have these two dishes, you won't be disappointed. And then the desserts- you'll have to see the dessert case for yourself! Glad to see this place is thriving! The food was awesome (my hubby wanted to lick the plate) read more

My Nail Tech recommended I try this place, I never knew there was a restaurant in here. It used to be called the Gentry Center or something like that and the last time my husband I came here was when we were building our house many years ago. It's a cute cafe/bistro with the tables outside in the mall walkway. The bakery with all the beautiful, yummy looking desserts is on the inside. We were greeted immediately and got a 4 top table for the 2 of us, the table was clean and a cute little vase of flowers were in the center of the table. Our server was friendly and helpful and suggested we each get their Prix Fix menu so we could try a variety of things. So we both ordered it. We ordered the tossed salad with their yummy house made sesame dressing and their corn soup with crab which was delicious! We then ordered appetizers. We had the Baked Lobster which was hot out of the oven bites of lobster with melty cheese on a toasted baguette with a sauce on the side, it was divine! Then we also ordered the Smoke Salmon Rangoon which had smoked salmon, cream cheese wrapped in a crispy spring roll wrapper on a bed of greens and a balsamic dressing, that was just ok for me. For our entree we had Rosemary Pasta with Chicken, pasta was al dente and the chicken was tender, the rosemary flavor was pronounced and it was delicious. Also ordered the Crying Belly, which was pork belly slices that tasted like it was braised in shoyu and Chinese five spice and served on a bed of mashed potatoes with that gravy over top and baby bok choy it was just the right portions and tasted really good. Dessert was next and you could choose anything in the bakery. We chose the Chocolate Haupia Cheese cake and the Chocolate flourless cake with peanut butter ganache. They were both very decadent. The food is fresh and made to order. Just such a wonderful dining experience. Can't wait to go back to try other items on the menu! read more

Took my parents here after their Covid vaccines. Reservations recommended, outside (covered, cool) seating, digital and physical menus, hand wipes and cutlery wrapped, hand sanitizer available too! My dad got the seafood pot pie, which was made with puffed pastry and he said he really liked. My mom got vegetarian summer rolls with 2 incredible sauces, and I got my usual tuna Wellington with puffed pastry which was, as always, the most incredible sandwich ever. Came with a small bed of salad and yummy dressing. After lunch we ALL got dessert to go because we were so full from lunch but we still wanted a taste of the incredible desserts available. We got my mom a fruit basket-like tart, and I got the macadamia nut tart. I can't even remember what my dad ordered. So good! Free parking in front of the building. We will be back soon (I've been twice in January)! read more

It'll be the Chocolate Peanut Butter...can't wait! They also have cookies, coffee and meals...may try it the next time! Also wanted to mention...the workers are super nice and helpful! read more

Food is good, but serving size is more for people with a small appetite. I ordered the Tuna Wellington. The Tuna Wellington consisted of fresh tuna (not canned), with boiled egg, and spinach. The puff pastry was buttery, flaky, and cooked to perfection. This was served with a house salad. The cucumber in the salad was cut like a waffle fry. The dressing was creamy and tasted like miso. Excellent customer service! read more

Tiny Pyramid - Tuna Wellington Sandwich - Cafes Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Hidden gem that is not so hidden because it was crowded with an in-the-know crowd on a random weekday lunch. Oddly nestled in the front hall of a design center mall, people come for the innovative and carefully made Vietnamese-Southeast Asian-French fusion cuisine. I had a lamb puff pastry which was delicious, but somebody's pasta went unfinished. I'm told the pizzas are a treat. And you must top off the meal with a dessert, preferably with a crust. We'll definitely return, although we will peruse recommendations and reviews to make sure we get what they make best. read more

Returned for dinner date with the hubs. Went the 4-course route again. I couldn't pass up the Baked Oysters - still yummy. This time hubs chose the Baked Lobster - good but I like the oysters more. Hubs chose the Lamb Wellington again but I went with the Salmon this time. The sauce with the veggies, fish, and mashed potatoes was so good. I'm not a big fan of sweet sauce on my dishes, so glad this wasn't on the too sweet side. Desserts are always the hard choice. Hubs stuck with the chocolate pyramid but my goal is to try everything in their dessert case . This time I chose the Choco Lilikoi - the lilikoi flavor really comes through but the chop flavor was missing. The cake itself was also a tad on the dry side; unfortunately, not one of my faves. Still one of our fave restaurants to visit. Positive we'll be back. read more

I'm spoiled. Most of the things I want I can have it. Same goes when it comes to food. And when I say I want to eat pasta with white sauce, he recommended this place since we are in the area and I am a bit hungry at that time too. TP is located inside NNa Lama Kukui Center across Sedona. Easy to spot eatery and as usual, excited bandit here coz we don't usually eat out. Times likes this makes me escape on my cooking. LoL. This is a family owned bistro specializing Asian fusion cuisine with French style cooking & South East Asian flavor. Bistro + pastry bar, you'll definitely in awe looking on the 40+ sweet treats displayed in the 16 foot long dessert case. It is like a mini museum of different desserts and my eyes are feasting on them. As affirmation above, I was craving pasta, and yes classic seafood linguine was served in about at least five minutes. I tell you, if only I'm at home, for sure I'll be licking my plate. And yes, obviously belly approved! Pasta ain't overcooked, it's perfectly made & the texture has the right amount of chewiness. It's creaminess is blended perfectly using the white wine beurre blanc cream sauce & the spices all compliments well on my plate. The classic linguine came with my choice of seafood (manila clams, shrimp & salmon) which are perfectly cooked. The eggplant is just so right but the zucchini is kinda blah (they overcooked it). My plate of linguine made my whole day at that time and leave the place licking my lips while walking back to our car. Parisian is my bandit's choice. He's not hungry so he doesn't care to order heavier meal. Basically it is a duck mousse with port wine served with sliced baguette & side salad. Pretty good & I can see him enjoying it pretty well. I'm not sure how to describe its texture but it reminds me of the liver spread. The desserts are the star of this place & it's a must to try at least one or two. Pistachio cherry brandy: too sweet for me! The pistachio taste is strong which I really appreciate in every scoop. Chocolate pyramid: since we're pre-diabetic we are so careful with this one. And a mini is the perfect one to try. This dark chocolate mousse with chocolate sponge cake is their signature dessert that's a must to try. I highly appreciate that they got the mini version coz I cant imagine eating the regular size. It is too much for my tastebud & my acid cannot handle it for sure. Verdict: Bandits were delighted to the nth level. T'was a scrumptious lunch & glad we stopped by to try this eatery. Recommended to my friends for sure. Mahalo for reading & happy juandering fellow Yelpers. read more

Today I was running errands in the neighborhood and decided to treat myself with some quality sweet. Very disappointed with my 20 minutes wait yellow curry ( like a water with raw onions) and my latte. So I asked the sweet waitress if the kitchen had forgot my room temperature meal and she said no , they just done she said . So I just asked her pack n checked out and went inside to pick up some desserts. Complained to the husband and wife owners and they apologized and gave me 10% off . Nice of them . I will back to them for pastry and would like to try somewhere else for food . Short staff is the main problem these days but quality control also the key to keep your customers. read more

Ohhhhh Tiny Pyramid---How I love thee!!! Wow! Why have I not known about this little treasure?! I am not sure where to even begin!!! First off, I LOVE the fact it is open parking, just park and walk right in. It's getting harder to find restaurants that you don't have to park in a structure, remember to get validation, valet or simple have to find parking and walk blocks in high heel shoes to the restaurant. It is not your typical restaurant. It is in a design center so the tables are actually in the main walkway area. So open air, not AC. They have a few large tables, maybe 8? Not many. Best to make a reservation. The dessert selections are inside their little store area but no seating inside that area. It is family owned so there is a good chance one of the family members are waiting on you. Love them all!! It is BYOB which is amazing!!!! Looooove this feature! No corkage fee at all. Now on to the food... simple YUM!! It's so different but feels so gourmet! I literally want to try everything on their menu. We did the set price menu which is such a great deal. Salad, appetizer, main meal and your choice of any dessert. You can't go wrong! I highly recommend this place. I have already booked to go back next week!! read more

Went with a box of pastries instead of a birthday cake for my sisters bday this year! We got 2x Strawberry Cheesecakes, 1x Matcha, 1x Liliko'i, 1x Chocolate Pyramid, 1x Coffee, 1x Pumpkin and 1x Black Sesame. Flavors are generally very mild. Each pastry is $6+ each. $50+ for 8 pastries. They are nicely decorated but wish some of the flavors were stronger, like the matcha. While most of the pastries were underwhelming, I loved the Black Sesame one! Reminder of Japan. read more

How did I not know of this place before today?!?!? This place off North Nimitz is deserving of an award for the best kept secret. So much to choose from and the staff are super friendly so if you don't know what to get or undecided because everything looks delicious, just ask. That's how I got my lunch and desserts. Today's lunch was a Panko crusted soft shell crab take on a BLT; friends had the green curry, veggie croissant sandwich, and Veggie pasta, then for desserts: raspberry tart, apple pie, fruit tart, and tart with chocolate and fruit topping (mine). The dessert display is what I believe Heaven's cafeteria will look like (no more guilty pleasures - just outright - or weight consequences). read more

Came here for a work lunch meeting and it was amazing! They were very organized and since we had a part of 8, they requested that we make a reservation and submit our orders ahead of time. When we got there, they had little note card tents with names on it along with the order. This made it much easier for them to know who ordered what and helped with the serving process. Very smart on them! They were very attentive and filled up water often and took plates away as soon as they were cleared. They have tables outside in the large walkway of the building and inside is where you can purchase pastries and desserts. The outside seating was nice and there was a nice breeze when I went there. All tables were taken, so I highly suggest making a reservation! I had the khao soi pasta with chicken It was delicious! It was basically a yellow curry over fettuccini pasta instead of rice and it was a great combination! Definitely filled me up! I was so full but still wanted dessert, so I got a chocolate pyramid and pecan tart for takeout. They had so many other delicious desserts available and I wanted to try them all. Overall super delicious and I will be back to try other dishes and desserts! Parking: Lots of parking in the lot, but you may have to park a little further from the entrance if it is crowded. read more

A restaurant with delicious food and a HUGE dessert display with a large variety of dessert? Sign me up! My friends and I came here on a Saturday night. We made a reservation and were seated immediately. I highly recommend making a reservation as space is limited. Food: My friends and I each got the four course meal, which is definitely worth it. 1st Course - Corn Soup - I opted to get the corn soup without the crab as I don't eat seafood. The corn soup was delicious, and a great way to start. 2nd Course - Lao Roll - I originally wasn't going to get the four course meal because there wasn't a vegetarian option in the 2nd course. However, the server suggested that I do the four courses when I ordered because it was the most worth it. They said they'd be able to do the Lao Roll with tofu instead for me. It did not disappoint! It was quite refreshing after the soup. 3rd Course - Rosemary Cream Noods w/ Tofu - This was delicious! There was a good ratio of noodle to vegetables. I love my food saucy, and there was plenty of sauce on the noods. 4th Course - Pick from the dessert display - I honestly don't remember what I got, but I know I thought it was delicious. I don't really think you can go wrong. Service: Service was impeccable. We were seated immediately and greeted quickly after being seated. Our server was very knowledgeable about the menu. I love how they recommended the four course meal for me and knew immediately which dish they could make vegetarian for me. When you're looking at pastries, there is always someone there to ask questions if you're curious about something. TL;DR - I would definitely come back in the future for the great food, the amazing desserts, and the impeccable service. read more

JJ French Bistro & Pastry was one of my all time favorite places to dine when they were located in Kaimuki many years ago. Before they expanded there and were still a small restaurant, we had my son-in-law's graduation party from Nursing School there one evening, occupying the whole restaurant. I world dine there regularly with family and friends. I loved everything on their menu and the French desserts at the end of every meal. I also loved that it was BYOB. After they moved to Nimitz Hwy. I had my 60th Birthday there, reserving it for one night for my close family & friends. My brother and sister also hired Frank DeLima to entertain. Wonderful evening! For unknown reasons, that was my last time, dining there. I retired soon after and I guess life and it's challenges (pandemic) took over. Well last week a friend suggested we have lunch at Tiny Pyramid and I decided to Yelp the restaurant and realized it was JJ just renamed. I was so excited to have lunch there. The menu has all the dishes I've missed and it was wonderful, seeing their delightful desserts on display. I also missed their cookies! Now in 10 plus years, prices have increased. The food is prepared so well, that my mind set, is you are paying for what you get! I ordered 3 dishes, I missed. The food is as I remembered! Delicious! Service is still exceptional! I also went home with a few bags of cookies to enjoy later! I plan to be back again soon! I took photos of two of the dishes I ordered. It tasted as good as it looks! Highly recommended! read more

This is a nice quant restaurant, very clean, friendly professional service. The desserts are very exceptional. So much to choose from, and all are a true work of art. I couldn't stop with snapping photos, and the showcase of these desserts is like nothing I have ever seen before. I was so excited to have my dessert, and we haven't ordered lunch yet. As for lunch, we'll my boss planned a special lunch for us, and arranged a 4 course exclusive menu. Sadly, and sorry to say, I didn't enjoy the lunch at all. The soup minus the crab, was the best part. Otherwise, everything tasted bland. I'm not going into detail on each dish, but I would never want to order lunch from here again. The desserts though was as delicious as they look. Wasn't very sweet, so easy to eat. I would however return for some desserts again. This is also a great place to gather with friends. read more

Is like to think I've been the most committed customer since they were still JJ's bistro and French pastry on waialae Ave. It's forever a piece of home in Honolulu and a sanctuary for my heart, I've been going for nearly 20 years. I'll keep it simple. 1. It's lao and French fusion essentially so everything is flavorful, saucy and divine. You won't find anything greasy or heavy but that doesn't mean you won't get your fill. 2. Everything is good, from curry to salads to dessert. There isn't a dish that disappointed. And if it ever had, the owner loves it when you ask him to fix, add or adjust something. 3. Dessert is like a law here so don't leave without at least trying one (they are tiny), they also have an espresso machine and coffee goes great with everything they offer. For asian style noodles I suggest the lobster pad Thai. Pasta: lobster ravioli Starter: lao roll Fav meat dish os the lamb Wellington. But my opinion matters not, try it for yourself! read more

Thursday 3/28/24: I took my sis-in-law for her birthday. [21 yrs ago she held her daughter's 16th bday dinner @ JJ's]. Thankfully, it was not super busy like Sunday (2/25). And, the service, food and ambience were wonderful; everything was on point. My s-i-l had the Sea Scallop Napoleon and I had the Fisherman Pot Pie, my go to dish. S-i-l cannot wait to go back to Tiny Pyramid. (She wanted to go after her Costco run Friday evening but it was too late) Sunday 2/25/24: I had reservations for 5. Server was upfront and informed us that they were shortstaffed (one of the 2 staff was new) It was "super busy" but the staffs' demeanor remained positive under pressure. However, our orders got mixed up. And honestly, the taste was "off". The others in my party had never dined @ Tiny Pyramid and were not impressed.

Finding Little Pyramid for the first time is a little difficult. It's in the located in the Na Lama Kukui Center with no sign out front, you'll only see the carpet store and other furniture like places. The worker was very helpful over the phone giving us directions and once we got to the store answering questions about which cakes were most popular. Also when you dine in even after paying upfront they bring your cakes to you and make sure that the table is sanitized. The cakes are all beautiful and range in the $5 amount. The lilikoi cheesecake was good but very light on the flavor and more dense, the black sesame had a good balance and the crust tasted like rich chocolate rather than oreo, and the mango cake was very light and flavorful. While the cakes quickly add up, it was worth the birthday treat myself and experience. read more

I went here on my anniversary with my fiancé, while the service was very good what was disappointing is that we got embarrassed when the waiter called us out on the bill all because we didn't want to leave a tip . This is very rude and unprofessional to do this in front of your customers who were dining there too. read more

Atmosphere: love it. Clean, well lite! Simple and not crowded. Relaxing Service: very good. Waiter explained dishes and very friendly. Food: Hit and miss. It used to be better . Lao roll was good but should give a tiny bite more sauce on the side. But I bet if I had asked for more, they would've given me some. I just didn't feel like asking. The vegetable clear soup now has more cabbage instead of other veggies they used to put in. I like the way they made it before. I did not like my main dish of scallops in curry. The sauce needed more coconut milk/ cream. Too watery and salty for MY taste. The pastry shell was very crispy crunchy. The dessert selection had many choices but the tart I chose was underwhelming. it was kind of dry and not enough fruit. I would stick with the chocolate desserts. The prices have gone up since the last time I came. Average dessert is about $6.50 and up. I wish them luck but needs improvements. read more
