    Strawberry Green Tea Two Cheese Tarts
    Ximena L.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute location/decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Very small, like most dessert places in this area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The strawberry green tea was great, not too sweet and didn't taste super artificial. The pastries were both really good and well thought out. I love the strawberry jam at the bottom of the strawberry milkshake tart.

    Delicious Japanese cheese tarts. 2 for $6, I opted for ube and matcha to try my first time. Loved the ube one as it really allowed the cheesy flavor of the tart to shine through, whereas the matcha overpowered it a bit more. Both were super tasty, the crust of this tart is light, sweet, and sugar cookie-esque, I absolutely loved it. Can't wait to come back and try their other flavors, as well as their basque cheesecake!

    very nice & light pastry dessert, the filling was perfect and wasn't heavy at all. Fairly priced at $5 each and they had a nice selection of Asian flavors (ube, black sesame, matcha, etc)

    AMAZING! This is a must stop spot. It was delicious and not too sweet. The filling was puffy while the crust had an amazing crunch to it. Really tasty!l and some how fresh? Tasting at the same time

    Picked these up for a party and they were a total hit! Definitely a little pricey but I got 2 extra tarts when I ordered 10 for a little under $40 so I think it was worth it. They have a lot of different flavors and I think they each tasted very distinct but tasty in its own way. My favorites were black sesame and the ube. The filling wasn't overly rich like typical cheesecake and the texture was soft and fluffy.

    Absolutely loved these cheese tarts! The filling is so creamy and soft while the pastry tart is rich and perfect in thickness. Got the strawberry shortcake and ube flavors to go and it was one of my favorite bites while in NYC. Service was quick and friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's a very small seating area, but I'd recommend getting them to go so you can share them with others too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I wanted to try something different in Chinatown not the usual egg tarts or Portuguese ones you find at most Chinese bakeries. Pinklady draws inspiration from Japan and offers a unique twist that caught me by surprise. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a small storefront with just a few chairs, but what they lack in space they make up for in seriously impressive cheese tarts.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I'm not usually a fan of cheesecake or anything too cheesy, so I walked in with low expectations... and walked out a fan. The tarts aren't overly sweet, which lets the flavors shine. The ube had a smooth, nutty richness, and the matcha had a mellow, earthy edge without being too bitter. I actually enjoyed them even more after leaving them in the fridge overnight--the crust turned extra crisp, and the texture held up beautifully. I also tried the black sesame tart, which had that deep, roasted flavor I love. The classic was solid and comforting, and the lemon had just the right amount of brightness. I brought the ube cheesecake to my office and paired it with coffee. Everyone devoured it in seconds. It was gone faster than you can say "cheesecake." If you're into trying something different, Pinklady is a quiet gem and a welcome addition to Chinatown.

    This was an accidental find... after a quick brunch at Cha Kee... wander pass this tiny shop... and decided to pick up some tarts.... Honestly, deep down I knew no shop in NYC would make as good as the tarts in Osaka (Pablo!)... but this one gave it a good shot. Wasn't mind blowing good... it was decent tho. The ube flavor was very mild... black sesame was ok, the matcha one was good (per the teenager)... would I buy again, probably not...

    Angela P.

    Love their cheese tarts they are all so cute and the flavors are just on point!! For the black sesame it just screams black sesame, you can def taste the matcha. I like how you can mix and match your set. We got a set of 6: Original Matcha (I'm typically a matcha girly but I think I like the other flavors more) Black Sesame Ube Lemon ( I just love lemony desserts) Strawberry Honestly you can't go wrong with any of the flavors. Def check them out, whenever you're in Chinatown!

    Rovingaile P.

    Texture was great, and the ube flavor was truthfully my favorite. The classic was also delicious. Not a fan of the matcha and lemon flavors from the free samples that I tried, but would come back for these two!

    Ube & plain (top for a bit squashed in transit)
    Vanessa A.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Tiny little shop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I ordered the plain and Ube, which they have noted as their most popular. It cost $8+ for the 2 (there's a $5 credit card minimum). They are fairly tiny. Not really knowing what to expect of their flavor, I found they taste like cheesecake. The Ube didn't really have a distinguishable flavor though.

    Half eaten tarts ^_^ black sesame and ube
    Leemor Y.

    I am closer to a rating of ;.5 but rounded up because the tarts were even better than I expected. These fluffy little cheese tarts have all the right flavors and textures going for them. I came specifically for the ube flavor but saw a 2 tart special and decided to also get black sesame - and I'm glad I did! Dare I say I may have enjoyed the black sesame a touch more?? The tarts were so fluffy, and the crust balanced it out very well. What I really enjoyed was that they aren't too sweet. The spot is a very small in-and-out, no frills sorta place so I would only do takeout. Solid dessert pickup spot!!

    Black Sesame & Original
    Vivienne C.

    Stumbled into Pinklady and how lucky am I to find this place? We were the first ones here in the morning and were a bit worried that the tarts would not be as fresh because they had just opened the doors and it was going to be remnants from the day before but they didn't disappoint whatsoever. - Original - I appreciate how silky the filling is and that the cheese flavor really comes through. Sometimes I feel like cheese tarts can be too heavy on the crust and then it feels like you're just eating a cookie but I did not have a problem with this one at all. - Black Sesame - I love that they have so many unique flavors including this one and it was delicious! I love how both the black sesame flavor and cheese flavor came through. The crust was a bit softer here but still didn't feel overwhelming in comparison to the filling. Definitely one of New York's best kept secrets and will definitely come back again.

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 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!

And I commonly see the upstairs for private events like baby showers, bridal showers, or birthday parties on social media. After dinner with my friends, I was looking for dessert and I was glad to see this location closes relatively late on a weekday night at 11 pm. Upon walking in, I was greeted by a waiter who led us to one of the purple velvet chair booths that was perfect for two people and another waiter brought us a pitcher of water almost immediately. The menu is on a QR code already on the table and we were given ample of time to decide. My friend and I both already knew what we wanted to order. I got the purple Yam Souffle which takes 25 minutes to make and my friend got the fried squid tails. We also got a signature Rose Green Milk Tea to share. The waitress who took our order has great memory and recalled all of our items without writing it down. She also reminded me that I could adjust the ice and sugar levels of my drink which I had completely forgotten and would have got annoyed if my drink came out 100% sweetness. Another thing is that my drink order frequently comes out wrong at other locations so I was glad she got it right! Green tea instead of black tea and with milk instead of without milk. The purple Yam Souffle is just like the other locations. Hot, soft cakey texture balanced with an ice cold red bean Ice-Cream. So delicious! The squid tails on the other hand was not what we expected. It came out burnt and hard. The outer batter was not crispy either. We informed one of the waiters and he brought it back to inform the kitchen staff. We received a new batch that was not as burnt and had more flavoring this time around. However, the squid was still hard and not like the ones we get from other locations with smaller crispier pieces. Overall, it was still a good experience and I love the decorations at this location! This might be my second favorite location after the Flushing one. Would love to come back for brunch or hi-tea. Or regular food options when I have not already eaten dinner. My usual go-tos are the twister fries, Santa Fe chicken rolls, fried salted crispy chicken, and the trio dessert combo. However, this location has a lot more variety! FYI - there are two unisex restrooms in the rear for customers to use with really cute wallpapers too.

We ordered potted rose milk tea to share, Dubai affogato and Brown Sugar Boba Mille Crêpes Cake. We came on a Friday around 4pm. Originally I wanted to try the strawberry matchamisu, however, was told that it sold out. What a bummer. The rose milk tea came with a themed pot and cups which is really cute. The rose fragrant smelled so good and the milk tea also tasted good and has a hint of rose taste. The cake was good, the boba was well cooked, chewy and flavorful! This time there was an unpleasant experience. At first when the Dubai affogato was served, we did not realize that the amount of the coffee was little until we saw another customer's dish that the volume of their coffee looked significantly more than ours. My friend brought it to the waitress attention but the waitress brushed it off and did not acknowledge our concern. When we finished and were about to leave, the same waitress came over and showed us that the container of the coffee was different and hence the volume of the coffee looked different. At this point, we did not care for it anymore. We would have been fine if the staff acknowledged our concern. We thought that maybe using standardized containers for the coffee would avoid this problem. Other than that, the food and drinks were good.
