    I was really excited to try this place, but I was a bit disappointed. My order of 5 cakes took well over 20 minutes and then they gave one if my cakes away to someone else and I had to exchange for another one thats been sitting there. When I was there it was only one person so maybe that was why it was a delay? However, onto the cakes. It lacked flavor and the texture was off. It was not as cakes or sp9ngey as I thought it was when I tried it out the box. And you have to eat it fresh! I saved one for the next day and I basically had to toss it unfortunately. Hopefully they test their recipes and in the future it will be better.

    Located inside of Tangram, this food stall is a convenient spot for wheel cakes. I swung by here after dinner to try their red bean and custard wheel cake as well as their strawberry lime sparkling drink. I thought that it was both okay. I wish the wheel cake had a bit more filling and was a bit less bready. I also felt that the drink was very heavy on the syrup and overly sweet.

    Great place to satisfy your sweet tooth! Absolutely devoured my money cake! Staff was also very friendly and helpful when helping me choose what flavor I wanted. This is also located in the mall on the upper floor of the food court!

    Absolutely the best Imagawayaki filling I've had anywhere, such a light crispy shell and generous portions for filling. Definitely try as many flavors as you can as they are so fun and different. Taro pork floss is probably my favorite but the corn cheese, Ferrero Rocher, Thai tea with boba and red bean were also delicious. Service was friendly but it's hard to order on the electronic screen.

    Friendly staff and easy pickup in the Tangram food court! Haven't tried their famous cakes sadly but got their Osmanthus Milk Tea which was quite good. I got lowered sugar (50%), but the drink was still quite sweet so I may go even lower next time. Will have to try their cakes in the future! In terms of ambience, it's located in the food court, so you have to prowl a bit for seating, but is generally a nice spot with restrooms nearby.

    This is what we used to eat in Taiwan, so the warm cakes with taro, red beans, and custard bring tears to my eyes. Not too sweet and made fresh. Awesome. Must try.

    This little cakes were a pleasant surprise. The top and bottom cake part is crispy and has dare I say a little crunch to it. I thought that one of the fun things here is that you can choose the filling that's inside. I ordered the classic custard one, along with a mango custard cake. The service was very quick, all of about five minutes or so as the attendant prepared the cake batter fresh and cooked it right in front of me. This place is located inside of a small shopping mall and there's ample seating nearby. The cakes were delicious and the custard was perfect consistency, almost like a firm pudding, but not too thick at all. I can't wait to go back and get some more!

    Very unique spot in flushing! I picked custard but want to come back to try taro and other flavors. The person making each order repeatedly for hours is amazing. He needs a raise! There a lot of large to go orders and the bubble tea is pre made. I want to try the taro slush when I have the calories! Seems like a family business which is nice!

    Potato, cheese and bacon money cake

    3.5 stars, interesting concept - freshly made egg batter mini cakes that are circular shaped to resemble money. Like golden coins. They smell and taste good but the fillings can be hit or miss. There are sweet and savory varieties on the menu. But they do not travel as well as I had hoped. I was not going far but as the counter person advised, these needed to be consumed within 30 minutes. I can see why. Two of the three cakes I bought, actually separated before I got to my destination. It literally was not closed. Top and bottom were two separate pieces. I don't think it was supposed to do that. It was my Oreo custard cake. Still good taste wise. - Taro money cake remained intact during transit, it was slightly crispy on the outside (edges) and soft on the inside and towards the center of the cake. The taro was a creamy texture. Very good flavor. - Potato, bacon and cheese was my savory option. It was savory indeed. It was almost a mashed potato center with bits of bacon and cheese. I'm not sure if it was supposed to be smoother or more texture. Either way it was savory. No complaints here. It was fun to try this new version of cake. I'd return to sample other flavors but the pricing is a little steep for the size. It is another novelty idea. But I might stick to waffles or egglets for this price point.

    Thought was just okay. The custard I wish was a bit sweeter and the mango more mangoey.

    I love wheel cakes/imagawayaki and was excited to see this stall opening up. The only other stall that I know of is Bearin Wheel Pie in Landmark Quest Mall. There is a 25% discount with Yelp check in, which they honored. The service was quick and friendly. I did not wait more than 5 minutes for my order to be ready. I wanted to try chicken pesto, but they ran out of all the savory flavors (it was ~5:30 PM on a weekday), and I was informed that they might be switching out the chicken pesto for the chicken corn flavor, so get it while you can! The Matcha Red Bean had a crisp exterior with black sesame on one side, which added some extra flavor. It was packed with filling. The matcha was light in flavor (not even a hint of bitterness), so it was a bit overpowered by the red bean. The Custard with Mini Taro Balls had a decent balance of thick creaminess from the custard and soft bounciness from the mini taro balls. Flavorwise, it was not sweet, though could use more custard flavor. Not my personal preference. I only opted to get this to replace my savor choice since this was marked as a best seller. I do like that the exteriors stayed crisp (I took these home so they were eaten about half an hour later). Overall, the custard-y fillings could use more flavor. I do want to go back to try a savory wheel cake, but the sweet fillings are not for me.

    Matcha Custard Wheel Cake: $3.60 ($3.92 with tax). Cut in half. Soft opening price.

    BLUF: OK; the better of the two dedicated places to get Taiwanese wheel cakes in Downtown Flushing. Money Cake offers variations on Taiwanese wheel cakes -- pancake-like batter shells shaped into 3-inch diameter wheels, with sweet or savory fillings. We visited Money Cake's stall during their soft opening, when their prices were discounted by 20%. We ordered: - Matcha & Custard ($3.60 soft opening price; $3.92 with tax): lightly flavored, like most Chinese desserts. The custard was lightly sweet, and the matcha didn't seem to have bitter notes. There was a pumpkin (?) seed in the custard / matcha mix. - Potato, Cheese, Bacon ($4.20 soft opening price; $4.57 with tax): this tasted like a knish in wheel cake format, due to the reconstituted potatoes, and was saltier than the other wheel cakes due to the bacon bits. - Matcha & Red Bean ($3.60 soft opening price; $3.92 with tax): this was the most flavorful of the three wheel cakes we tried. Money Cake does a few things better than its competitor Bearin Wheel Pie: 1. Money Cake has smoother custard fillings. 2. Money Cake's wheel cakes use a larger diameter for fillings -- about 3 inches versus about 2.5 inches. 3. Order fulfillment is much quicker, because Money Cake has a larger team. Money Cake's light custard flavors may be amenable to East Asian audiences, but a broader audience might want more flavorful custards. I would like to see the option for a stronger matcha flavor, for example. Overall, it feels like Money Cake falls slightly short of expectations set by the phrase imprinted onto each of its wheel cakes: "一分錢一分貨", meaning "you get what you pay for." Getting a knish might be more cost-effective than getting Money Cake's "Potato, Cheese, Bacon" wheel cake. I'm not sure I would try Money Cake's upcoming pizza series, since it might be cheaper to get an actual slice of pizza.

    Cute packaging  I got a Oreo custard cake
    Michelle S.

    When I got to the location they didn't have much of a selection at the moment . I ended up going with the Oreo custard cake it was so warm with a nice and soft Oreo inside . Such a great end to a meal we had earlier . First time ever at tangram mall and I loved it just wish there was more stores

    The most aesthetic Chinese teahouse I've ever been to. Tucked away on a quiet street in Flushing,…read morethey serve the prettiest traditional pastries and mochi. The menu is extensive, and every dessert looks stunning. I'll definitely need multiple visits to try everything. The ancient Chinese decor and dining booth had such a vibe, and you can even borrow hanfu (漢服) for photos. The names of their pastries are also very poetic. TLDR: The traditional dessert soups are must-haves, and the mochi definitely outshines the pastries. *Osmanthus Sweet Fermented Rice Milk Mochi 桂花酒釀水麻薯 $6.99 *** My favorite out of everything! The floral osmanthus notes paired beautifully with the sweet fermented rice wine, and the milk mochi was perfectly soft and stretchy. It's also the best-value dessert on the menu imo. *Pear Sweet Soup with Snow Fungus 冰糖銀耳桃膠雪燕烤梨 $12.99 ** This felt like a warm hug in the winter. Served hot in a traditional ceramic pot, it was nourishing with poached pear, snow fungus, peach gum, and goji berries. My mom gave her stamp of approval on this. *Mochi Combo 軟酪合集 $20.99 * I was a little sad they ran out of the persimmon mochi...it looked so cute...But the jasmine guava mochi and yuzu matcha mochi were both delicious and super soft. I swapped the third mochi for a matcha pastry (玉妃 抹茶奶黄), which was just okay. *Mousse Dessert Combo 珍寶格 慕斯合集 $36.99 These desserts were beautifully crafted, almost too pretty to eat. The peony mousse was my favorite, especially with the crunchy rice krispy base. The set also comes with your choice of tea (green, black, or milk tea), kept warm with a small candle.

The Drinks: I definitely recommend the traditional teas over the milk teas. The Osmanthus Oolong teapot was my fave, it was fragrant and good quality. In contrast, the Jasmine Milk Tea lacked a bold floral punch. The desserts are rly cute and very instagrammable but the flavors are fairly average Jasmine Mousse Flower: beautiful to look at but also tasteless Bunny Pudding: Very nostalgic!
