We got the ginger milk pudding. Do think it's a bit pricey ($10) since it's an easy dessert to make but I guess it's all the theatrics. They pour the dessert in front of you and put a sand glass on top. Once sand glass is done, so is the dessert and you can even rest a spoon on top. The dessert is very smooth, barely a solid, and its ginger taste is very strong- which I like. Strong ginger but pairs well with the milk and good amount of sugar. It is a bit spicy but I like it this way. They do have a lot of other desserts as well as savory items on the menu. Intrigued by their savory menu and will definitely come back to try them next time.

I tried the durian mango coconut pudding, the taro with mochi dessert, and the ginger pudding and…read morethey were all bangers! Flavor profiles were hitting in all directions I didn't know which one to pick as my favorite! Durian mango coconut pudding - Durian wasn't overpowering at all and the mango shined in this dessert. The mango was nice and sweet, yet tart, soft and not at all unripe. The durian bits were creamy and custard-y, while the coconut pudding served as the perfect base for the dessert. Light and smooth Taro with mochi dessert- This was a taro sweet soup and had the consistency as black sesame soup. The taro was potent and the aroma was very prominent. The mochi was nice and soft, yet chewy. I was not expecting to like this one as much as I did. Ginger pudding - Utterly delicious. The ginger flavor and taste was insanely strong and the pudding was jiggly soft. Not too sweet and almost tasted spicy in a sense from the ginger. Super solid pudding. I'd come back just to get this again honestly.

I did end up getting a refund for the prior order. As luck would have it, I happen to score another one two days later and gave it another go. This time went much better. I got a Fresh Coconut Water Cup with Meat and a Himalayas Blossom drink with crystal boba. I especially liked the fresh coconut and it's cool how they neatly carve out the meat in a perfect ball. The coconut water was refreshing and the meat was fresh, sweet and soft.

I haven't found the equivalent in NYC yet so I was excited to try this place out. We ordered the Mango Pudding and I was a little confused. First there was a lot of these coconut popping boba on top? The pudding had more of a mousse consistency than a jello consistency which is what I had originally expected and I feel like you couldn't taste the coconut as well. I'm glad however they did use fresh mango. I will probably give this place another shot when they open in Manhattan but will probably get a drink instead of a pudding next time.

Jin Xi is a charming little spot in Flushing with Asian desserts and decently-priced lunch options…read more We were looking for a dessert spot that also had savory lunch options and Jin Xi came up in our search. We were particularly interested in their Lunch Combo Series, which is available from 11 am to 4 pm daily. There are two options to choose from - there is a designated list and you can choose one rice dish, one "syrup", and one drink. The other option is one souffle, sandwich, or appetizer, and one "syrup", and one drink. I was very confused with what the "syrup" options were at the time, but realized later it was a dessert We got: * Lunch Combo Series 1) - Thai Pork Neck Rice, Peach Gum Soup, Tangerine Peel Lemon Tea $14.95 - The Husband really enjoyed the pork neck with the purple rice. The broccoli was just steamed though, so there was nothing special there. And it also came with a corn salad. He thought the Peach Gum Soup was a bit different but liked it nonetheless. And the Tangerine Peel Lemon Tea was good too. * Lunch Combo Series 1) - Curry Fried Pork Rice, Pandan Pudding, Passion Fruit Tea - My fried pork with curry sauce was enjoyable too. I liked that it came with a purple rice, which was a nice touch. Mine also came with steamed broccoli and a corn salad. I do wish there was a bit more curry sauce though. The Pandan Pudding was yummy and I really enjoyed my Passion Fruit Tea. We found the Lunch Combo Series is a real great option since you get a main, dessert and a drink for less than $15! * Thai Spicy Coconut Cooking Pot, Beef Slices $14 - The Little Guy liked this dish, but it was spicier than he expected and thought there would be a stronger coconut milk taste to it. * Thai Pandan Pudding $9 - The Little Gal thought her dessert was pretty good. It's served with a white sauce that you'll need to pour over the dish. I think getting a few desserts and sharing them would be a great option here. Overall, we enjoyed our visit to Jin Xi. I know most people visit for their desserts, but their savory options are worth checking out too. The wait may seem a bit longer for their hot items as other Yelpers had mentioned since they use an electric stove instead of a gas one.

Stopped by again (was closed Wednesdays when I first visited) and finally got to try the goodies!…read moreAlthough I didn't have time to find parking for a stay - it's a small cute dessert shop with limited seats. I am a fan of the pandan flavor desserts and bought two that I wanted to try. One being a roll cake and the other layer cake. The pandan roll cake with taro I was told is a specialty that they only have on weekends. It was really flavorful, moist and spongy, just perfectly touched with a dash of sweetness in both the cake and the cream - I personally don't like overly sweet foods, and this is just perfect for me and my mom. I'm equally pleased with the layer cake as well it was very fresh and have that "QQ" texture - deliciously chewy and bouncy. This too, just hit right for me on the gentle sweetness, the pandan flavor keeping the spotlight in this dessert. My mom and I are big fans of these desserts. We just came back trying out others pandan layer cakes in Downtown Flushing and this shop beats them by a large margin. I hope to come back more when we could even though this shop is quite a distance for us.

This place overall is just average to me. The drinks are nothing special. We recently tried the pineapple bun egg waffles which were disappointing. The pineapple bun topping on the egg waffles were too soft and cakey, not crispy like a pineapple bun topping should be. Perhaps the original egg waffles with no filling would be better. Service: Service is average, not good but not bad. Ambiance: There are a few tables and chairs in the shop, but overall it's a pretty small space. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place.
