The best part was the happy hour. Both food and drinks were included, and everything we tried was delicious. The cocktails were well crafted, the small plates were flavorful, and the pricing was incredibly reasonable for such an elevated experience. Amavi is definitely a hidden gem and one I'll be adding to my regular happy hour rotation.

There are tvs playing Asian music videos and music playing. Usually xing fu locations only have standing room only. This puts this location on another lvl then the rest. I tried some unique drinks 1st was the strawberry Boba strawberry milk tea. The strawberry taste was distinct yet balanced and not overly sweet. Also there was not an overly artificial taste. As with all locations the Boba is the star. The strawberry Boba has a nice sweet chew that had great texture and bounce. The green tea was strong tea flavor without being bitter it was not overly sweet I will definitely recommend this location specifically because of the seating and ambiance Service was quick and packaging was efficient

Wow, this little shop is unassuming, it definitely catches the eye, especially for someone like me…read morewho loves Asian pastries. I've never tried a Japanese cheesecake before and was extremely excited to be able to pick up some treats for my coworkers as well as my partner's birthday cake from Keki. Ordering is fairly straightforward and done with a simple machine outfront. Once your order is ready one of the staff members hands it to you through a window; there is no inside area accessible to customers but our food came quickly and we took it back to the office. The cheesecake was fantastic. I read a bit about the background of the shop online and how the owner really cares about using high-quality ingredients, specifically dairy. It was justas described, light and bouncy. I enjoyed how it was not overly sweet and found that it was all too easy to devour the entire cake over the course of two days. Despite it not having much weight to it, it traveled surprisingly well as I took it home on my three train commute! Similar to what others have said, the real highlight of the shop, in my opinion, are their cream puffs. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but the outer layer was thin yet had a nice little crunch to it. We tried the classic milk, cookies & cream pistachio and ube flavors. Our favorite was the pistachio by far, which had such a unique yet decadent flavor and our second favorite was the milk cream puff. There's not much else I can say other than you really have to go here and try the desserts yourself. If you're a fan of Japanese desserts that are rich yet not too sweet, you'll be a fan of Keki.

I spontaneously went here on a night out and may have stumbled across the BEST asian gelato place…read moreever. The flavors I ordered were tiramisu and berries and cream, but there were also a lot of fruit flavors you usually wouldnt see at other stores like lychee, ube and coconut. I didnt order them, but I was able to sample it and they are all so good and strong!! The workers are really nice and patient when customers are picking flavors out. It can get long since its usually 1-2 workers, but its also a gelato place, so I get they wouldnt have so many employees at once. The space itself is small, so expect to find a spot outside to eat but there are benches along the windows.

Located just at the edge of ktown, this spot serves plenty of Asian flavors to choose from! They…read morehave your more classic options, like strawberry + mango, to classic Asian flavors, like Pandan, lychee, + Thai tea, all the way to your unique Asian flavors, like Thai Basil, Choco Pie, + Hwache, just to name a few!! I love that they draw inspo from Asian snacks to derive their flavors - it's what makes Sundaes Best unique! I surprisingly enjoyed Pineapple Thai Basil, which had the classic fruity flavor, but also a freshness from the basil, which was pleasant. You can sample as many flavors as you want. Not that many indoor seating options, but you're not too far from Herald Sq to grab an outdoor seat. Perfect post-dinner dessert spot if you're in the area!

Koreatown storefront serving sweet treats like egg tarts, flaky pastries, and more!…read more This spot is located near the Korean skincare shop K-Collection and Sundae Best. When I came around 5 pm, it was quite empty, with two employees working at the time, both very friendly and eager to help! Heads up, there is no seating here and is more of a takeout spot. I decided to get two tarts at the time, a black sesame and a yuzu lemon, since I felt like those were quite unique. The tarts themselves are your standard size. The black sesame one was toasty and had pronounced flavoring, and the yuzu lemon had a nice zesty bite to it. When it comes to consistency and texture of the tart, I don't think this place has the most mind-blowing selection of tarts, but I would come back again if I wanted a quick, small dessert!

This is a solid Japanese restaurant. I did not know until I walked in that I had been in this space…read morebefore. I'd eaten here when it was a Thai restaurant about three years ago. The place has been completely redone since then with a brand new interior and still looks fairly new, in addition to being very spacious. The food was excellent too. From previous reviews, it appears most people come here for the ramen, which are about $19 a bowl. My friends and I tried the tonkotsu ramen, shoyu ramen, and a butadon (pork rice bowl). Everything was delicious and flavorful. However, four stars is an accurate assessment. I've had better tasting ramen with a more flavorful broth, and a larger portion with more meat at slightly lower prices. The food is good but not the best either.
