Poor customer service. Extremely overpriced rice cakes. I would go to HMart or the other Asian markets for a better offering at a more reasonable price point. The cherry ontop was the granny working the counter in the morning. I would expect friendlier service for customers spending $150+ at your establishment! read more

0 stars .. quality of rice cake has gone down, I don't think the rice cake is made fresh.. i saw employee taking out a bag of frozen rice to put on display.. Horrible service, was charged $2 for a box, we bought over $100 worth of rice cake, she charged us extra for rice cake that she made it seem like she was giving to us as complementary cause she said she needed to fill the box as it was not full.. ?? I guess i was naive, and it may have been her sales skills.. but she was rude and she seemed to not want to answer any of my questions left the store with upset.. we purposely drove all the way out to this location as we were visiting from out of state.. will definitely never be returning ever.. read more

Korean rice cake store at bayside. NY Their rice cakes are expensive but they are high quality. I like injeolmi the best. I also made ddeokbbokki with their galeddeok and it tasted very good. read more

Too expensive for most of stuffs. I am a old time customer but I don't feel like going there again. When asked for extra water for my tea, the old lady said they don't have any. When it seems clear that we are leaving, all of sudden, she changed her attitude and said it was being prepared. Well, don't try to fool and be stinge to your customer. You better not if you want to go on with your business. I have been a customer for over 10 years but never felt welcomed or appreciated. read more

Quality and the portion of the food are excellent. This is my go-to place when I visit NY.

Authentic authentic authentic.... They have not modernized and ruined the old school ways of fantastic Korean style pastries. Also, the Bingsu is to die forZ Worth an out of the way drive... read more

Big selection of dduk but everything was in Korean so I had to read the ingredient label to really tell what was in it. Needless to say, i purchased the rice cake purely on presentation and packaging. A lot of the goodies were sold out by the time we came by around 4:30pm but the items I had were pretty good! They ARE heavy so it's best grab a variety and share to get a taste of everything. The real star is the bingsoo. Love the traditional flavors! you won't find the trendy fruit flavors here but the red bean and black sesame options are delicious. Love that it's not too sweet and the toppings they add have a nice crunch to it! read more

small place that packs a huge punch. Their patbingsu is legit. Their homemade dduk is legit. I love their yaksik, and my fiancee's family loves their injulmi. During busy hours, good luck trying to get a table. People sit there and just gossip all day. Yum Yum. read more

This places bingsu is just out of the world GOOD! This is my first time there but I instantly fall in love with this place!! The place is pretty quiet, mostly Koreans go there. Their green tea bingsu is amazing! It's NOT overly sweeet yet they got almond slices, CRUNCHY RED DATES SLICES, mochi, red bean paste! It's just enough sweetness for bingsu. I made a mental note that this place became the place I would go to for bingsu ~ This place closes at 6 so be aware of time. read more

Had to make the trip out to Yedang for fresh and traditional rice cakes for a 100 day ceremony! I was happy to say that it was steamed that morning that I picked it up and came simply but cleanly decorated. The rice cake itself was as expected and had the lightly sweetened rice cake flavor that I love. We also ordered the three smaller rice cake balls that came in black sesame, red bean, and mung bean covering which were a hit for all. Just a disclaimer, trying to serve it on a plate out of the packaging will cause everything to mix so we ended up cutting the top off and serving it that way. Why 5 stars to start? Rice cake or tteok done in the traditional fashion is hard enough. The specialty of making tteok for an 100 day ceremony and with the other varieties I saw in their shop made for a delicious and wonderful celebration. read more

The jujube bingsu ($10) was just alright. I've had MUCH better quality in Seoul. But you obviously can't match/beat Korea. This, however, didn't come close. I thought the Pat (red bean) was a little too sweet (overpowering), and the ice shavings weren't ultra fine, giving it a mediocre taste, overall... read more

My family and I have been purchasing their rice cakes for a long time because Yedang is one of the only legitimate and fresh korean rice cake stores in the area. My mom refuses to buy New year's rice cake from anywhere other than here, but sadly, they have lost our loyalty. My mom purchased several bags of rice cake for New Year's a few days in advance for our family and to gift her friends. However, my mom along with one of her friends noticed obvious mold on the rice cakes shortly after. They were refrigerated immediately once home, so it could not have been due to our mishandling. We called Yedang immediately after noticing and brought it over in-person for an exchange. To our disappointment, the lady handling our issue was very unprofessional and inattentive. She suspected us of lying and was very ill-mannered in managing our complaint. Initially, my mom was planning to exchange it for a fresh batch but after that disappointing experience, she asked for a refund to purchase the rice cake elsewhere. Good products, but poor service. read more

The hours on Yelp are incorrect. They close at 8pm on most days. We walked in at 7:40, and despite the store being open (and very small), was not greeted by the employee. After perusing the available rice cakes, I asked her if I could order a patbingsu. She shook her head and told me I couldn't as the store was closing soon. Understandable. She seemed to really want us out of the store, even though we had been inside for about 1 minute. We had walked there and didn't want to leave empty-handed, so bought injulmee rice cakes, which ended up being pretty good. Three stars alone for the rice cakes. Minus 2 for the unfriendly, unwelcome service. I don't think I'll be back read more

The first thing notice when you walk in is the earthy and homey smell...but from that I had a feeling this place is authentic. I got the red bean patbingsoo. It came in this cute gold bowl and spoon. The toppings were red bean dates, chestnut, pieces of mochi (so good), and dried dates (added a nice crunch to the plate). There were probably other stuff in there but it was gone too fast for me to know. read more

Absolutely disgusting customer service! Not sure how this place is in business. The owner lady is super rude and nasty. Her attitude is extremely terrible, I don't even understand how she can expect to run a business the way she does. You can get just as good items from Hansol or any other catering spots. I would rather give my money and business to someone who actually respects and appreciates their customers. This place is despicable! I absolutely agree with all the other negative reviews and will never step into this store ever again! After today's awful and disrespectful experience I understand why people have told me to stay away and will make sure to tell everyone I know to do the same! read more

Yedang - Their regular bingsu - Cafes Near Me - Bayside, New York

Ordered individual rice cakes and other items for a traditional baby's 100 day ceremony. All the rice cakes were cut so crooked and unevenly that I could not stack them properly. Also ordered a specific item and found out upon picking up my orders that they had decided to give an entirely different item because they ran out. This is so unprofessional when we are picking up all orders the morning of the event, to not even let the customer know that they decided to just give us whatever they wanted to replace the items we ordered. They applied no discount to correct this error, I had planned to use them for future baby events but I will not return and will not recommend them! read more

I hate summer but I love bingsoo. (Korean shaved ice) Thank the Lord for no more scorching hot days. Anyways, this is the best bingsoo I had in my life HANDS DOWN. This is not some typical bingsoo you get at any old Korean cafe. They uses quality ingredients (which makes it pricy) with Korean traditional flavors. I tried the green tea and su jung gwa (Korean cinnamon tea) bingsoo. My personal favorite is the su jung gwa bingsoo which contains dried persimmons, dried dates, pieces of rice cake drenched in su jung gwa tea in shaved ice. I'm mesmerized by their quality ingredients as well as their authenticity. If I can get a chance to learn how to make these rice cakes and teas from these ladies it would be an honor! read more

I've been coming to Yedang for a few years now. The BEST patbingsu, rice cakes, dduk! Delicious and always fresh! It's has a classy, cozy decor inside and quieter from other neighboring cafés. I'm my experience, being non-Korean, the staff has always been friendly, despite occasional language barrier. I strongly suggest coMing to Yedang to satisfy your sweets cravings any day of the year! read more

Yedang - Green tea & red bean patbingsu "To-go", chopssal dduk, caramel rice cakes, grilled sweet rice cakes w/nuts! DELICIOUS & FRESH! - Cafes Near Me - Bayside, New York

In all my years on earth, I've never had a patbingsu. Patbingsu is the Korean version of a shaved ice dessert which is common in many Asian countries. I was excited to finally try the Korean version, and here at Yedang I thought it would be a great place to try one because there's a board outside the restaurant prominently advertising that it's here for your enjoyment. We walked in and many of the customers were Korean which is a great sign. The wall to the right the entrance contained a multitude of Korean mochi, all of which looked handmade. Many were wrapped in saran wrap and take note that it didn't cheapen the appearance. For me, Yedang was like walking into the great unknown mainly because I'm not Korean. We were adventurous and got something approximating a red bean mochi square. It was delicious and had more substance and grit than plain red bean paste. We absolutely loved the different mouth feel. When we approached the counter, the nice lady behind the counter took our red bean patbingsu order and made sure we wanted to be served in the restaurant. There is a long row of chairs and tables to the left hand side of the dining room. When they were ready, one of the ladies in the kitchen brought the Patbingsu to our table. I appreciated the pillowy-soft snow-like ice with sweetened condensed milk drizzled on top. The toppings consisted of nuts, dates, mochi, and many items I couldn't identify, but what I got in the end was something that was substantial, chewy, satisfying without being overly sweet. My friend and I agreed that at $9.99, though expensive, it is a dessert we enjoyed immensely. If patbingsu isn't to your liking, Yedang serves a host of sweet dessert soups, like Chinese tang shui. There is also a set of different western-style cakes on the menu and also, Korean drinks that I couldn't fully identify, but surely they should be good. I must say that most items are expensive, but if you come, just try a few items and I'm sure you'll be hooked. Different is good! read more

I love this Korean rice cake store. They serve a delicious ginger tea. It has a very strong ginger taste and is sweetened with organic cane sugar. The patbingsoo here is my favorite. It's got quality red bean, chewy mochi and crunchy bits of nuts and dried fruit. Some of the dduk (rice cakes) is a hit or a miss, but the review is for the tea and the patbingsoo! read more

A low key high quality Korean cafe known for their sweet rice cake desserts. We ordered the red bean bingsoo & ginger tea. Both were of high quality and very tasty. It is good place to talk & enjoy traditional rice cakes and tea. The desserts are beautiful but can be heavy. It is a once in awhile treat. I recommended it if you are in the neighborhood. read more

Come here for their fresh rice cakes. Favorites include their Mochi and honey dduk. I also love their tea options - particularly ginger. Lastly their green tea shaved ice is healthy and quite refreshing on a hot day! read more

My family and I really like this place, esp. for their yaksik and ssookdduk. Yaksik is very popular and runs out very fast. We also ordered our daguhter's dol dduk and it was delicious and nicely packaged for guests. I would give 5 stars but sometimes they tend to come up with over charged check. Make sure to double check your receipts. read more

I ordered the patbingsu and it was really good. However it was on the sweeter side so beware! The rice cakes here are so so good! An issue I had was that the ladies here didn't know I spoke korean so they talked to each other about me and my friends. That wasn't a great experience. They definitely treat other Koreans better over non Koreans, so heads up. Otherwise the place had an atmosphere that was very comfy and felt like home. It's 100% authentic and traditional too. read more

I used to love this place but the lady at the counter did not care about acknowledging the customers and was on a personal call the whole time. It's always a shame when an establishment you like has such terrible service. read more

The lady who is working there is very unprofessional and rude. When I asked for the hot water to add to the strong ginger tea, she refused first ( she said it's not their policy to serve hot water) and then grudgingly gave a cup of hot water for three people. I think reasonable service is more important than food. I guess they make more money on taking big orders on the phone. She sounded nice on the phone and more attentive but not to the customers in the room. It's a shame that their service doesn't go along with their food. read more

Yedang - Best rice cakes in ny - Cafes Near Me - Bayside, New York

Yedang is a cafe unlike any other Korean cafe. They focus on Korean rice cakes, rather than coffee and drinks (they still carry them though). I would say their main target audience are older women and the elderly. It's not that the place is good or bad, but more about if you know how to appreciate rice cakes or not. They have a really authentic shaved ice (all year round). If you're into the common milk snowflower shaved ice covered in condensed milk, this shaved ice is not for you. The shaved ice has dried nuts, dried fruits, red bean, healthy grains, and real rice cake mochi (not from a package). The prices are on the hefty side, but you have to know that you're paying for quality. When I went, this cafe was super quiet and I constantly found my voice towering over the cafe. It is not a place you want to be laughing with friends. If you're into these authentic and healthy vibes, definitely go check Yedang out! read more

If I could, I would want to give them 0 stars. The reason why I'm giving them a 0 is due to their customer service. I have been coming here for many years and supported them. All their goods are delicious, HOWEVER, every time I come to buy things their customer service seems to get worse and worse. And frankly, today was the last straw. I come here all the time to buy their rice cakes for special occasions. Hence, I always buy a lot and in their gift boxes. I like choosing my own rice cakes to put in the boxes rather than buying their preset boxes due to health restrictions and allergies which I have voiced. Instead of understanding my situation, they scoffed at my request and proceeded to hover over me while I was packing my gift box and commented at me saying, "Let's see how you package them that it's better than ours." It is NOT about the presentation of the gift box, it is a HEALTH CONCERN and honestly none of their business as to why any of their customer would want to choose their own rice cakes when they offer the option to do so. On top of that, like I have mentioned before, when I do go to Yedang, most of the time I am going there buy gift set in which they also give a white paper bag with their logo sticker on it to put the rice cake gift box (rather than a generic "Thank You" plastic bag). When I asked for 2 paper bags because I bought 2 gift boxes, the workers again SCOFFED at me and hesitated to provide that. They are extremely rude and it is such a shame that a place that serves such beautiful and delicious rice cake cannot be fully enjoyed due to their poor customer service. read more
