Second time here & the quality of food + service were amazing both times :) I know everyone comes here for the bingsu but donโ€™t sleep on their pastries! They make them all from scratch in-house. The chocolate matcha lava cake is SUPERB. Instead of chocolate oozing out, itโ€™s matcha flavor filling. A bite of the cake, matcha filling, matcha ice cream and cookie crunchโ€ฆ heaven :) Also, the wings were honest to god, some of the best Iโ€™ve had. The crunch is unreal & flavor was so good. The batter they coat the wings with was perfectly spiced. We got the wings with sauce on the side so the crispiness was at peak level. Canโ€™t wait to come back again!

Their packaging changed recently and itโ€™s bad. No more sealed drinks. They packaged my drinks in a to-go bag. When I was already gone, I noticed the bag was dripping. They spilled. They donโ€™t put any cup holders in the bag to hold your drinksโ€ฆ The worst part isโ€ฆ The boba was UNDERCOOKED. It was HARD. Disgusting.

On Saturday, June 20, 2026, I ate at U :Dessert Story for my birthday. We went there a little bit after 5 pm. The place wasn't busy at all. There were a few people eating there. Here's what we ordered. The Salted Egg Yolk Brick Toast, Chocolate Volcano Bingsu ๐ŸŒ‹ and Mango Stick Rice Bingsu. The Salted Egg Yolk Brick Toast was hands down one of the best desserts I've ever eaten. The orange Egg custard sauce was delicious and the Brick Toast was warm and soft. The vanilla bean ice cream on top was the perfect addition to this dessert. Hands down the best dessert out of the 3 we ordered and definitely a 5 out of a 5! The Chocolate Volcano Bingsu was good. It wasn't knock your socks off good like the Salted Egg Yolk Brick Toast but good overall. The chocolate flavor was lacking in my opinion. I wanted it to taste more like chocolate and have more of a chocolate pronounced flavor but it didn't. The chocolate flavor was mild at best. There were bananas, cocoa krispies, corn flakes and brownie chunks throughout the chocolate volvcano. I can see why a lot of people order this dessert because the presentation is cool. It's pretty big and it comes out with a dry ice cube on top that makes i

I came with friends for dessert one evening, but it was a bit disappointing overall. When we arrived (a little late), all the toast items were already sold out. The staff didnโ€™t inform us beforehand and just let us sit down, which felt quite unprofessional. The regular cakes were average โ€” nothing special. The shaved ice (bingsu)was less sweet than I expected, which was actually a good thing for me, but it was served in very basic, low-quality dishes that didnโ€™t match the cafรฉโ€™s supposed aesthetic or price level. The biggest disappointment was the Thai Tea Mille Crepe. The sauce was not smooth at all โ€” it had clumps and felt very sweet(looks like curry?). I still finished it, but the next day I suffered from severe diarrhea. I strongly suspect the sauce and cream in the Thai Tea mille crepe were not fresh. Lesson learned: itโ€™s probably best to avoid dairy-based desserts here in the evening. Will think twice before returning.

I visit this spot every time I want to treat myself after completing a stressful semester. Every time I get the mango sticky rice toast and itโ€™s absolute perfection! It comes with a side of pandan coconut sticky rice and mango sauce, but I always ask for the coconut sauce instead because the coconut sauce is better, and traditionally mango with sticky rice is served with the coconut sauce, not mango sauce. I tried deviating for my usual once, and I ordered the salted egg yolk toast and I wasnโ€™t impressed. 4 stars because it is pricey, and the mango sticky rice toast should be served with coconut sauce.
