Tried this place out, first time trying Japanese Cheesecake. I was expecting what I have had before…read morein the sense of cheesecake but learned it's different. This is more of a cake consistency with a very mild cheese flavor. The consistency reminded me of angel food cake. Although I think it was prepared well it wasn't my favorite dessert ever. I would like to try their other flavors as we only got the original to split. They only sell one size at $16 a cheesecake (with tax). They also sell small cheesetarts but I didn't get one this time around.

I should've just left but I felt obligated to make a purchase. I ordered the ube and original and it was quickly bagged and handed over. They must make a bunch a refrigerate it. I asked him how long is it good for and he said three days in the fridge. I tried a piece of each the next day at our hotel. It appeared a bit shriveled and soggy. Not sure how it's supposed to taste but it tasted very eggy but not too dense. I was expecting a more airy and sweet flavor vs eggy? Maybe I have to sample it immediately next time I purchase one and they better have matcha!

I ended up choosing the red bean & matcha mochi bun, cream puff with mango, and pork sung roll to-go. My favorite has to be the red bean & matcha mochi bun which is super unique as I haven't seen the combination before but it was super yummy with chewy mochi in the middle. The pork sung roll was also pretty good. The cream puff on the other hand was a bit disappointing as the cream tastes a bit artificial and was not the light & fluffy whipped cream filling that I like in cream puffs.

I would recommend every item in the case from bread to pastry.

Decent portions too. Will FOR SURE be back Service is chill and the ambience is good they have a few places to sit. off the beaten path too.

Ughhh sooooo freaking good!!!!! Too bad it's pretty pricey…read more Nearly everything on their menu is $10. Portions are okay, I just feel like it's not worth the price, entirely. However, disregarding price, their desserts are incredibly delicious. I've been here 3 times. Super chewy mochi and refreshing jelly. Some come with ice cream or shaved iced. Definitely a summer treat but I still come during 40° weather. Their mango sago came with surprisingly sweet mango since it's not in season. So yay! Staff is nice and welcoming, as well as patient with menu looking. They have one bathroom and some seating. It's cute and cozy. 9/10 recommend! If you're willing to spend a few extra bucks

Out of all the boba spots in the area, Onezo has been my go to for my boba cravings. They make…read moretheir own boba so they have unique flavors to choose from. The classic brown sugar boba can't go wrong with any drink option. But a strong recommendation from me is the black sesame pearls. It isn't too sweet and it provides a nice toasty flavor of the black sesame that makes a drink especially yummy. They are consistent with their drinks and I haven't been disappointed in a drink I've gotten. Their Hong Kong milk tea is one of their signature drinks and it is a strong tea flavor that isn't sweetened unless you add boba to it. The interior is bright and clean with a couple of tables to sit at. They're never super busy since the drinks are made so quickly. I haven't tried the desserts here just yet but I've heard good things so far.

The mangos were a little too sour for our liking. They made us the wrong dessert at first so they had to make us a new one. They were nice enough to let us keep the mistake to try. The mochi balls had a nice chew to them. Decent dessert place but not the best.

Portuguese Egg Tart葡撻: The shop keeps the egg tarts in a warming box, which is very thoughtful. I've always preferred the cookie crust of old-fashioned Hongkongese egg tarts; they don't crumble or feel sticky in your throat. The custard filling looked a bit overbaked on the surface, but it was still smooth and creamy inside. The milk and egg flavors were qualified, and it was not too sweet. While not particularly amazing, it definitely deserved 4 stars, especially for a Cantonese person like me who hasn't had egg tarts in a long time. Hongkongese Egg Tart蛋撻: The crust is the same as the Portuguese egg tart, but the custard filling seems a bit more diluted, with a lighter milk flavor and a stronger egg flavor. People who aren't used to it might find it a bit eggy. I still prefer the former. Custard Bread奶黃包: Recommended by the owner, and it was definitely the best thing there! I ate it the next morning, but the bread was still soft, and the crust wasn't dry. The custard filling was generous, sweet, creamy, moist, and had a slightly grainy texture. Sausage Bread腸仔包: The seasoning was quite interesting, with a hint of wasabi (?). However, the sausage itself was just average, with a slightly starchy texture. Breads generally cost $2-4 each, and here four items were only $8+, enough to last me all day Important Reminder: Cash only for orders of $10 or less.

It was adequately busy but still had seats open. The lunch menu is very affordable! If you can, I'd highly recommend going for lunch instead of dinner. Service was really quick! Received my meal in like 5-7 mins after ordering. Fish was super fresh and I really liked the different textures in the Hoseki Don. I also added in negitoro. They gave me a big clump of it! The second time I went back, I ordered take out so I could eat it at the airport for dinner. I ordered the Sake Maguro Hamachi don, added ikura and negitoro. Again, so impressed with the quality of the fish and the size of it. They didn't skimp out and really enjoyed the thickness of the sashimi despite it only being 3 pieces. It was a very satiating bowl. Cant wait to come back next time again!

They have three tablet kiosks for self-ordering, and it's an intuitive UI, so the process was simple. Once I made my decision from their extensive list of options and combinations, it took me maybe 2 minutes from start to finish to build and submit my order. I ordered a large taro milk tea and it was everything I had hoped for. Flavorful, not too sweet, and the tapioca was a wonderful consistency. My only thing was that it was so busy and loud that the staff were unable to continuously call out when orders were complete, or you couldn't hear them. I eventually went up to the bar, noticed my drink had been sitting a few minutes, yelled over, "This is mine, thanks!!" Smiled, and then grabbed it. Beyond that? It was absolutely a great experience.

They have wonderful looking pastries in their windows and they surely attracted me! They have various pastries that I didn't see in other bakeries in our LA's Chinatown or the San Francisco one. So that's a plus. Nice pork buns, egg tarts, moon cakes. Decent prices, nice service. It wasn't crowded when we shopped here, but there were other friendly foodies also amazed by their wonderful selection! If you're in the area, this is a great bakery to check out!

They mention sugar levels on their menu so I asked for 75% but they only add condensed milk to the Thai tea, no sugar. So the only way to reduce it would be with less condensed milk. It still was quite sweet, and in fact had an artificial taste? I can't pinpoint why but it wouldn't rank in my top favorites. Disappointing. I'd be open to trying another tea next time if I'm in the area but given that there are SO many bubble tea shops here that it's unlikely I'll be back.

I'm quite curious about the relationship between the three bakeries in Chinatown…read more(Corner/Top/Taiwan). Although their names seem to have nothing to do with each other, they share paper bags and some products. Are they sister shops run by the same team? Egg Tart蛋撻: Since there was no insulated box, it was cold, which is a shame compared to Corner Cafe. The egg and milk aromas were masked, but there was a slight eggy smell. Portuguese Egg Tart葡撻: Although it was also cold, I preferred the baking. It had a thin crust, and the filling was still smooth and delicate, with a richer egg, milk, and sweet flavor. Butter Bun奶香包: The best product, but I forgot to take a picture... I unexpectedly encountered "Little Swell bread微波麵包," something that has disappeared in China for a long time. It was exactly the soft and moist texture I remembered, and the milk, butter, and salt flavors were even stronger.

They've gotten expensive over the years (now it's about $4-5 for a bun) and the quality can be hit or miss. Some things are fantastic such as their milk bread loaves or taro buns. Other items are just okay such as their raisin coconut bread & bolo baos. Those tend to be dry & flavorless. Like many other Chinatown businesses they require a $10 minimum to pay with card, so definitely more convenient to bring cash.
