Went on a Tuesday afternoon and it was quite empty with only 2-3 tables. I ordered to-go via their kiosk and got my order in less than ten minutes. I like using a kiosk so I didn't have to interact with the staff and could take my time browsing at options. The printed menu isn't as detailed about what each item entails. I ordered: soymilk pudding dessert, double layer milk custard with red bean, and black sesame paste. I was originally interested in the soymilk pudding dessert and the rice mochi w/ osmanthus jelly bowl but struggled figuring out their differences since the photos are blurry. When I looked through the kiosk the biggest difference is that the former has soymilk pudding, coconut milk, lotus seeds, and peach gum vs the latter has grass jelly. The rest of the components are basically the same. I think it's better to forego the grass jelly in order to get all the other more special ingredients. I'm glad I got the soymilk pudding dessert because it's my favorite of the three and what seals the deal for making me want to have it again. It contains: coconut milk, soymilk pudding, peach gum, lotus seeds, taro balls, mochi balls, osmanthus syrup, and osmanthus jelly. Overall, I like the combination of more unique ingredients and how everything was gently sweet and refreshing. They gave a big pouch of coconut milk. I only ended up adding half and was able to cover all the ingredients in the bowl. Although the star of the show is supposed to be the soymilk pudding, it was one of my least favorite components. I didn't like how raw the soymilk tasted, a bit gamey and green. Lotus seeds had slight bitterness to it too which could be avoided during the prep process. My favorite part is probably the osmanthus jelly and peach gum because of their texture and lightness on my palate. Improvements to this dish would be to have higher quality ingredients for each component which would help with a cleaner and more delicate taste. Double layer milk custard was alright. The custard part had faint almond extract flavor which makes me suspect whether they added flavoring or used almond tofu powder. At least it wasn't too sweet. The red bean topping was overly sweet, suspecting they used premade canned ones. I don't like how they used rectangular containers. Black sesame paste was too goopy for me. Even though it tasted strongly of black sesame, the flavor was quite one dimensional and not fragrant. They supposedly added peanut to it, but I don't taste it either. There were mochi balls added as toppings which I didn't expect. It was not additive. read more

Ordered delivery since there were so many deals and wish I didn't. The food and drinks were not good. I ordered the spaghetti with shrimp, mushrooms & bacon which came with a free assam milk tea ($16.25). The pasta dish portion was small and it literally had no flavor at all. I guess I shouldn't have expected an Asian restaurant to make good pasta. The shrimp and bacon were basically boiled and they basically added canned mushroom and used cream of mushrooms for the sauce. The drink was completely watered down. Then I ordered the fried chicken wings for $7.49. Can't go wrong there right? Nopes. It tasted terrible. 6 tiny pieces of wings which wasn't fried completely and had no flavor or seasoning whatsoever. Ordered the jasmine milk tea since there was a BOGO deal and didn't taste the jasmine whatsoever. All we tasted was the milk. Only giving 2 stars because my order came with a free order of seaweed french fries with pork floss and that was actually really good. It was flavorful and everything paired really well together. I have heard really good stuff about this place and it was a total letdown. Might go back and try the desserts in person and hope that it is a better experience. Just be warned about the food. read more

Finally tried this cantonese dessert spot. Ordered ginger milk pudding and mango sago! They have booth seats and regular seats. This spot has tradition chinese desserts and chinese desserts with new creativities. Love the mango sago. The mochi is small and not overpowering. It includes lychee jelly, sago, mango, grapefruit. The ginger milk pudding has three level of "gingerness" for you to choose from. Less ginger, more ginger, more ginger. We got the regular ginger and it was still so "spicy". When the dish came, there was only ginger sauce in the bowl, then the staff poured the hot milk in the sauce and cover it with a lid and put a timer on it. I don't remember how long we waited but probably three minutes and when the timer is finished, you open the lid and you found out that the ginger and milk is solidify into a pudding which can then be enjoyed. It is a cute concept. This dish is only dine in only they don't do takeout for that. read more

The decor of this place is cute. Spacious inside. Staff is nice. Food can be a hit and miss. We ordered a few things to share: Sea salt cheese idea milk ice-it's large and can be shared by 3-4 ppl. The flavor is good. A bit sweet but the presentation and flavor is nice-8/10 Crispy milk roll-1/10. Tastes too greasy and not crispy. Milky taste is very mild. I think they should remove this dish from the menu. Watermelon pandan jelly with ice cream-4/10. the pandan jelly is too soft and lack of texture. If they make it firmer, I think it might be better. The flavor is just lacking. Taro ball mochi-7/10. The over flavor is there but their mochi is not chewy or smooth. A bit soft. I had this dessert in China and I loved it. But this one is a bit disappointing. read more

Docking a star for the sandwiches. I really don't recommend them. But I generally enjoy their other items. The only plus of the sandwiches are the crunchy bits where they leave the press marks. I found the sandwiches to be overly sweet. Why would a buldak sausage sandwich be sweet? The durian mochi was yummy but wasn't a super strong durian taste, all their fried items are typically crispy and well fried. The highlight of this meal was the milk ice; I.e snow cream (I didn't know that was what it was when I ordered). It's gigantic! It's enough to feed 3 people. We thought it was a small bowl so we ordered two. Unable to admit defeat, we sat there finishing two giant bowls, but they were so tasty, I didn't really mind. I enjoyed the osmanthus Longan one as it wasn't overly sweet. The Oreo one was pretty sweet as there was ice cream and marshmallow fluff, but it was still good with great textures. read more

So... Are you closed? Came by specifically to give you guys a shot but evidently it's not open. There's no notice of what's going on either. Alas, you've disappointed an anticipated patron. read more

A lot of places close early, so this cafe feels like a score. Really casual, lively ambiance inside. Pretty wide variety of items too. I loved the durian grilled cheese. Seems like a risky pairing but it works so well together. Wasn't polarizing at all. The bingsoo is really yummy too. Stayed cold despite sitting on our table so long. The black truffle rice is yummy too. It felt like an Asian-risotto and was a satisfying savory meal. read more

Heard great things about this dessert spot I had to check it out. Came on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't too busy and we were able to get seated right away. I was hungry so tried some of their pastas. They have a very small selection of real food but the black pepper beef pasta was pretty good. The shrimp alfredo pasta was just ok. For dessert I got the mango dessert which was good and big portions. My favorite is probably the ginger milk pudding because they ask how strong of ginger you want. As someone who loves ginger it was perfect for me. Overall it's a cute spot to hang out but it is definitely a bit more expensive than expected. FYI they do not accept AMEX. read more

I was super excited to see another dessert spot delivering Chinese desserts, like Tong Shui! I think they took over the KungFu Tea old spot. They serve food as well... but I came to try their Mango Pomelo Sago and was hoping they had Dao Fu Fa... but they didn't. For takeaway, you order through the kiosk. Dining in, the wait staff will take your orders. So we got 2 things - Mango Pomelo Sago - (4/10), mango was sour, not sweet act all... and the Taro Sago was just ok (5/10). We still prefer Mango Mango for their desserts. Note: it took over 20-25 mins to get our dessert, so be warn on wait time. read more

Came by on a Monday evening and there was no wait. Staffs were pretty friendly. Orders are placed via tablet. Both the drink(Mashed Taro & Red bean mochi Milk tea) and dessert(Durian & Mango coconut jelly) was not overly sweet. I would come back to try other items on the menu. We also ordered take out and it was prepared pretty quickly (like 7-10 minutes, guess it depends if it's busy or not). Unfortunately, their Unfortunately their Ginger Milk Pudding was not available for takeout. read more

Tried the ginger milk pudding. It's literally ginger juice and milk, mixed together it causes a reaction and the milk solidifies after a few minutes. For $10 I think it's quite a ripoff, but I guess good to try if you can't make this at home yourself. My friend who came here before told me to flip the timer once more so that it's less watery/soft. But even after flipping it again, it was still quite soft but the consistency was nice and smooth like tofu fa. They give you option of less ginger, regular ginger, or more. I decided to try regular and it was too spicy for me, less ginger would have been better for me. Also tried the black sesame & peanut & red bean mochi dessert. I'm not a huge fan of straight up sesame soup, but my bf liked it. It wasn't too sweet which was good for us. The place is very spacious and they have plenty of booths as well. It's quite expensive, so I wouldn't really go out of my way to come here for dessert. read more

Yuan Yang definitely has a lot of potential of being one of the best and most authentic Chinese dessert spot in all of Brooklyn. Their jasmine pudding and ginger milk pudding were both extremely delicious, although I'd caution going light on the ginger for the normal amount was already quite intense. Their other dessert selections are on the pricier side compared to other places. The spaghetti with shrimp, mushroom and bacon cream had really good flavor, but the mushroom were cut so thin and so scarce that you can barely taste it; it felt like they cut half of one mushroom (as evident in the photo). The shrimp were the baby shrimp which I personally don't really like and felt it made the dish worse. Overall it's an easy fix if they choose to, but the dish definitely has potential of being amazing! The staff were all very friendly and spoke English, Cantonese, and Mandarin. The aesthetics is very pretty and welcoming, with enough space between tables to sit comfortably. Overall, a pretty good experience and I will definitely come back to try some of their other selections. Thank you for reading and best of luck! (: read more

Dessert 4/5 Service 3.5/5 Ambience 4.5/5 I much prefer this location over the Flushing one. It's more spacious and has a much cuter aesthetic. Ginger Milk Pudding (3.75/5): We made the mistake of asking for extra ginger, which I wouldn't recommend. It became so strong that it turned bitter, the regular version is definitely the way to go. Unfortunately, the service was a bit rushed, our server poured the milk quite aggressively, causing some of it to spill. Watermelon Pandan Jelly with Coconut Milk (4.25/5): This was the highlight! The fresh watermelon paired surprisingly well with the pandan jelly. Jasmine Milk Tea (4/5): A solid tea, though I think I prefer the Osmanthus version here. The jasmine flavor was a bit subtle and could have been more pronounced, but overall it was still a pleasant drink. read more

Tried the orlean sandwich which was very delicious and is their most popular item. Fried chicken wings - it was ok. Spaghetti w/ shrimp, mushroom + bacon cream - it was not that delicious Black pepper beef spaghetti - it was delicious & had a nice kick to it. Coconut lychee pudding - it was good. Did not like the grass jelly signature dessert or the taro mochi. The grass jelly signature dessert had too much different types of beans in it & felt so overwhelming. Taste was ok. The taro mochi was so thick it was also overwhelming. Taste wise was ok too. I think their best items were: the ginger milk pudding, osmanthus stove boiled milk tea, orleans sandwich, black pepper beef spaghetti. read more

First day opening! Yuan Yang is a popular neo-Chinese dessert spot from Flushing, now at Brooklyn's 86th street. This new location is much more spacious and can hold more tables. Menu seems to be the same. I definitely love the spacious spot here. Taste seems to also maintain the same, so it's good that I can get some dessert items here without traveling all the way to Flushing. Since it's still soft opening, I think staff could be trained more on answering certain questions. Overall service is fast and you get your food pretty fast. Will return again soon. read more

Tonight, my friend and I went here after we had dinner nearby. I like the atmosphere and dessert options. We choose a little of everything. She informed they have another location in Queens. I like the coconut jelly with mango and durian. It was quite filling because it was a lot inside the coconut shell. She loved the signature soy milk pudding. It is perfect for a cold night because it warms you inside. Overall, I had a great time and I enjoyed the dessert. read more

I had a friend recommend this place and I had to try it for myself. I ordered online so it was an easy pickup. The soy milk pudding signature dessert was really good. I don't think I ever had soy milk pudding before. The texture is smooth and delicate. All the toppings in this dessert were prepared perfectly texturally wise. The best compliments you can give are that it's not too sweet. It was not too sweet Jasmine milk tea has great jasmine taste and consistency. I wish it was a little less sweet. All in all, I will be returning read more

I surprisingly loved it. Honestly speaking, I'm not one to order tong sui but I wanted to try this place with my sister. For a dessert place, I did not have high expectations for the savory foods, specifically, the rice and the spaghetti. But boy did they prove me wrong. The flavors were nice and strong, all minglingin my mouth. Portion was good. I am not a durian person but I took a teenie bite out of that hot press and my sister loved it. The sweet potato taro balls were sweeter than I expected but it wasn't bad. My picky daughter loved it. The taro paste with mochi was good. It wasn't too sweet. The watermelon drink was interestingly good. Flavors were mild but were all there and mingling nicely. To make it all even better, the staff was really nice. 100% recommended. I think it's my new favorite in the area. read more

Ordered for pick up twice mainly to try their drinks and sweets! We ordered the Peach Resin with Snow Lotus Seed (cold) and coconut with taro balls and herbal jelly. Both were pretty good - the peach resin was very refreshing to have after dinner.

We ordered 50% sugar and it was not too sweet which made it very enjoyable. The seating looks very cute and comfortable- will be back to try other items on the menu! read more

Ordered take out and had high expectations as the flushing ones always seemed packed. Beautiful interior design and the staffs were friendly. We ordered take out from the kiosk at the front and tried three desserts - black sesame, red bean, and pumpkin mochi. Surprisingly the only one that was good was the red bean. The black sesame lacked the roasted black sesame flavor. The pumpkin taste more like a savory soup. Also the portion is small for its price and not worth it as there are other competitions on 86th st. read more

Decent new establishment that recently opened for classic Asian desserts and comfort foods! Prices are around $10-$14 for every item (for some items that's actually pretty overpriced and others is decent so you gotta know what to pick) the rose tea is surprisingly affordable but wasn't as sweet as I'd like or as I'm used to like the one as prince tea house. the desserts aren't too sweet which is good and the signature dishes like taro red bean is pretty good too considering I don't rlly like taro. The signature soymilk one was amazing tho!! The black pepper beef dish was actually decent sized and flavored which was so yum! It does get crowded at times but always has enough seating ! There are many servers, and all seem definitely inexperienced with serving food, matching orders to table, etc but all were very kind and seemed eager to learn. Nice decor here too. read more

Always looking forward to a new dessert place in the area - especially a nice sit down place. Unfortunately, although I would revisit - just a fyi - the dessert although decent isn't anything amazing, especially for it's price. Comparing it to Meet Fresh for example - the offer less toppings and not quite true to description. Service wasn't the best either - they dropped the desserts on the table without much explanation of what goes with what which led to confusion since it was our first time here. read more

Solid "new" chinese styled desserts along with some classics such as ginger milk. Tried the ginger milk and for the portion size, $10 is a bit hefty. I would come again to hang and chill with friends but don't see myself craving this a lot given the price point. read more

This seems to be a really new spot - I had dinner before this next door! The staff was super sweet and knew Mandarin and Cantonese and English and helped me and my friend's family feel super comfortable. They have a kiosk to order for takeaway and also the employees can take your order at the desk too. We got seated in a wooden booth style table with green cloth for decorations. They were comfy cute chairs and definitely aesthetic haha. The waiter got us water immediately and also asked us if we had any questions to let him know. Again, you can order with the server or on the iPad! I love that there were pictures with everything because there are a lot of Asian flavors and combinations, and they had food as well! We got the ginger pudding which is featured, and also a classic mango sago cold dessert. There was so much other options but we were full. Food wise they had sandwiches with durian OR taro with pork floss OR like a buldak option? So interesting. Anyway the ginger pudding comes and she actually pours the pudding in liquid form into a pot and the hourglass is a timer for 6 min, which is how long the pudding takes to set. It was a bit anticlimactic but we liked the strong ginger flavor and it wasn't too sweet! The mango sago was super good, no notes. Definitely worth at least 1 visit - I don't know if this would be a go-to for me personally since I'm super basic and don't love a lot of Asian flavors, but so nice to have the option. read more

Stopped by to try their desserts after dinner and I was pleasantly surprised! I love Chinese dessert and came here with the intention of ordering the signature dessert with the taro balls but decided to try other things instead. The rose tea was good but not much of a rose flavor, it just tasted like oolong milk tea, but I enjoyed eating the dried dates and goji berries in it afterwards. The ginger pudding was good! Texture was so soft, and very strong ginger flavor! It was a bit too spicy for me, I would get the "less ginger" option next time. I loved the durian mango pandan jelly dessert, it was so yummy and my favorite of the three items ordered. Ordering is easy with the tablet, they also offer a paper menu but since it was late at night, they insisted we ordered on the tablet which I had no problem with. The food came quickly and the servers were very nice. The music can be a bit loud and the overall noise level is high, just something to keep in mind. I'd definitely come back to try some of the other items on the menu! read more
