The Best Asian Dessert Spots In SF - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"Na Ya serves the best sit-down desserts in the Richmond. The snug Thai cafe (with a location in Hayes Valley) attracts groups and families nightly like a moth to a flame, if that flame were fluffy shaved ice and mountainous toasts. Join the crowds waiting for one of the 10-ish tables, scrawl your name on the waitlist, and prepare to decimate a mound of creamy bingsu with mango and a side of sticky rice. Or go all in and attack a pandan toast from all sides—the squares of milk bread are toasted until golden brown, and smothered in bright green custard." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, ricky rodriguez

The Best Shaved Ice In SF - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"The nest of bingsu from this Asian dessert spot in the Richmond is milky and thick. There are five options for what goes with these frozen shavings—our favorite is the Mango Tango. It’s got a syrupy mango sauce, a little side dish of sticky rice, and, of course, half of a fresh mango as smooth as a greased-up slip-and-slide." - julia chen 1, patrick wong, ricky rodriguez

"At Naya Dessert Cafe in the Inner Richmond I loved the salted-egg-custard brick toast—an ingenious box built of toast filled with custard-soaked bread and ice cream—as well as the charcoal crepe with Thai tea ice cream and the strawberry croffle, all crowd-pleasing late-night sweets." - Eater Staff

OMG, this is sooooo gewwwdd!!! I tried 3 menus and all of them were sooo great. Not only the dessert was good but also the plating was amazing. The place was small, only few tables were available, so sometimes you have to make a line for a few minutes. But I can tell you that will be worth it.

i got the mango tango bingsu and really liked it! it came with fresh mango, mango sauce and warm sweet sticky rice, which was really nice to alternate between with the cold bingsu. the desserts are definitely meant for sharing since the portions are big, between 2-3 people each! we made the mistake of each ordering one so we weren’t able to finish unfortunately 😔. each dessert is priced at about $20 each, a bit pricey, but understandable since the portions are big and I believe are meant for sharing! I came in on a Saturday afternoon and it was fairly busy but they had a few tables available so I didn’t have to wait.

Went to Na Ya Desserts in SF and honestly loved it. They’ve got a mix of Thai food, desserts, and drinks, which is perfect if you want something savory and sweet in one stop. We got the Thai Spicy Basil Pork with Rice and the Spicy Spaghetti Sai Oua — both were flavorful and had a good spicy kick. The basil pork was super fragrant and comforting, and the spaghetti was a fun Thai fusion dish I’d totally get again. For dessert, we tried the Salted Egg Toast. It came out crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and the salted egg sauce was rich, slightly sweet, and so addictive. They also have Bing Su, ice cream toast, and milk tea on the menu, so now I have an excuse to go back. Service was friendly and everything came out pretty fast.

One of the best places to have desserts around SFO. We had Sticky Rice Mango with Vanilla Icecream, Salted Egg Custard Toasted and Chocolate Ice Cream. Mango and Sticky rice is the best out of the lot. Should definitely try it. Would definitely recommend trying here.

Great desserts. The noodles were a bit spicy for my taste. The lava cake and matcha toasted are devious and flavory. I wish they could've explained how spicy the foods can be. The space is also limited but since it wasn't busy when we got there we got a good seat.

The desserts were nice! Nothing like I’ve had before. I had the pandan custard option. Felt priced a little high for what I got but I did enjoy it. The walls have signs all over them stating weird rules like “you need to order before you sit down” and “minimum credit card charge $20” and “please leave a tip”. These signs make it feel weird and uninviting for a place with gourmet level prices. Minimum credit card charge should be like $4??

Strolled into Naya this evening and discovered one of the best spots to get an awesome dessert when you’re looking for something more than a scoop of ice cream. Service was amazing, such great staff with fantastic recommendations. 10/10 and excited to try the Thai Tea Mille Crepe Cake next time!

Have been coming to this place for 10+ years. Would usually order roti cha thai (not pictured) and pandan bread dip. Shaved ice is pretty solid too! Love this location best cause the taste stays consistent. Parking is tough and it could get cold while waiting to get seated.

Very cute dessert cafe with amazing desserts. We went to hotpot and then walked over to NaYa for dessert! We got the Thai Ice cream, grass jelly with brown sugar and the durian bingsu. Everything was amazing and great service!

I had really high hopes but it was a bit of a let down. Parking was not bad at all. I stopped by after dinner and we were offered to sit anywhere upon coming in. The lady then requested us to move to a different table because apparently one side is for 2 ppl and the other side for larger parties (up to 4). Mind you the restaurant was completely empty. We stayed at our spot and she sighed and said "oh I guess it's fine that you sit here". We were asked to sit anywhere upon coming in. We proceeded to order the Thai tea crepe cake because my boyfriend and I are huge fans. It was a complete let down. The crepe cake did not have light layers of cream in between. It was flavorless too so you'll need all of the sauce. The side of jelly did not go well with the dessert. We also saw a sign that there was an increase in prices because of inflation... we just paid with cash and left. They have so many unique desserts but it was quite expensive for crepe cake and the customer service did not help as well.

I don't have a sweet tooth but I like going here for Asian dessert! My favorite is the Mango Tango w/ Ice Cream and the Thai Tea Crepe. Neither are too sweet (which is one of the best compliments you can get from an Asian person). I will say though that their portions got smaller, prices more expensive, and I'm not a fan of them using paper plates and utensils. Bring back the actual silverware and dishes please. Overall I feel like they got skimpier :/

For $18, I would hope for a bigger portion and for the mango to at least be cut up. If you're looking for mango sticky rice bingsu, you're better off going to U Dessert Story. The interior of this store is cute but it was extremely stuffy in there and overpacked. We also got charged a credit card fee before we even paid.

Really loved NaYa - was a great spot for a group late night dessert fix. Their desserts are unique and there's so many good options to choose from. Portions are huge - good for sharing among multiple people. Recs (best to worst): - Salted egg custard toasted: 9.5/10 - if you like salted egg, this is the perfect blend of sweet and savory. Would definitely get this again. - Mango tango (mango sticky rice): 9/10 - one of their best sellers. Would recommend. - Banana nutella rolls: 7.5/10 - okay, would skip this next time. Would love to be back and try more.

I came here on a Saturday night with a friend and the wait was short. They have a limited dine-in time to prevent parties from taking up tables too long. The atmosphere is pretty lively inside, and this is a very popular place for locals to hang out at night. Do take note that the restaurant is pretty small. We got the Mango Tango bingsoo. The bingsoo with the mango sauce, mango slice, and sticky rice is such an amazing pairing. The mango was very fresh and the tanginess of the sauce paired very well with the creamy bingsoo. I wish the mango slice was cut up since it's very hard to share and split with the plastic utensils they give you. A small warning for anyone trying this bingsoo for the first time: it's very very creamy! It's similar to eating shavings of a frozen whipped cream block. One thing I huge improvement I would recommend to the restaurant is to please turn down their heater. After sitting there for a mere 5-10 minutes, you will feel very warm and stuffy. Especially when you are eating something as heavy and creamy as the bingsoo, the stuffy environment might make you feel sick to your stomach. It makes the bingsoo melt super fast as well. Overall, It's a very nice dessert place with unique items. I would definitely recommend to others, with a warning that it's very stuffy in there.

I had heard great things of this place so I wanted to try it out. There was a bit of a wait but understandably for after dinner time. Ordered the Kaya toast and the chocolate lava cake. Both tasted fine, but they weren't dishes I was eager to finish. There wasn't really anything too special to them - just fruit combined with some ice cream and other sweets. To me, the flavors weren't too cohesive or balanced. The quality just didn't seem there in the bread, ice cream, and other parts of the dish. Nonetheless, there aren't too many of these dessert places in the area so this will satisfy your dessert craving!

Both of the toasts in the pictures were good but I find the egg yolk toast was slightly better at their Hayes Valley location. Could have been maybe because I got to sit outside at their Hayes Valley location and their Geary Street location doesn't have that option, but overall it was still a nice experience because the staff was friendly and efficient, and the decor inside was comfy.

Love kaya toast, and this one is loaded with katya on top of toast! My favorite part is the toast cubes inside of the larger cube. The kaya has a richer flavor, so the banana and vanilla ice cream helped cut through it with a sharper taste. Would have loved another banana!

This is a perfect date spot with great shareable desserts! My favorites are the mango tango bingsu (the sticky rice is amazing!) & the chocolate ovaltine. Both of these bingsus are super hard to finish on your own so FYI! Service is fast, as long as you can get a seat at a table. There are plenty of tables inside that fit 2 people, & there's also a few tables that fit bigger parties inside but those bigger tables are limited. There's also an outdoor parklet for seating as well.

I love this place! Price-wise, sit down dessert places like these are becoming more common, but as most of these desserts are probably meant to be shared (and have enough to be shared for 2), the prices are more reasonable. The black Thai tea crepe had an amazing presentation with the charcoal crepe, and the Thai tea sauce was extremely tasty. The inside whipped cream was fluffy and the ice cream also added good texture. Above all, that salted egg stuff on top adds a little bit of a salty component that ties in all the flavors together. On the topic of salted egg yolk, the toast we got was also amazing! I've never had salted egg yolk in a dessert (that I really liked), so I would say this changed my perspective on salted egg yolk in dessert. I have nothing bad to say about the service or the food; perhaps the only thing being that the cafe can be a bit small and I wanted to order more...

My friends and I shared the Salted Egg Toasted and the Thai Tea crepe. Both were incredibly delicious. I do wish the Thai Tea sauce was less thick and more like a drizzle but no other complaints here. The oreos complemented the Thai tea ice cream and whipped cream. This is probably my favorite item here. The toast on the other hand reminded me of this dim sum dish that's a salted egg yolk bun. Very good! The servers were so nice and refilled our water jug without asking! We were grateful to come in right before the rush since we got an early dinner on a Saturday night. This is a popular spot! The place itself is very cute and perfect for pictures.

Out of town and came to this dessert place. I loved the thai spin on the desserts. I came on a Saturday night and didn't have to wait but it was completely full. Strawberry Fresh Soda: 3/5 stars. Lots of fresh strawberries with sweet syrup on the bottom. But a bit expensive ($6) for what it was. Salted Egg Lava Chocolate Cake: 2/5 stars Presentation was poor due to the fact that the scoop of ice cream was thrown on top of oreos and slid around on the plate before arriving to our table. Despite the presentation, I was a bit disappointed by the lava cake. The center of the cake was solid, not molten and the flavor of the salted egg was overpowered by the chocolate cake itself. Overall, I'd come back to try some of the other desserts! But, today's visit wasn't as good as I'd hoped

Naya is one of the places that's a great place to come to with some friends to chill out. It's a small place, pretty cute and cozy, and they have a pretty large variety of sweet treats on their menu. My friends and I ordered 3 items. The Thai Tea Toast, the Ferrero Rochero Banana Split (I forgot what it's called on the menu), and the honeydew shaved snow. The Thai Tea Toast was pretty good! The thai tea cream drizzled on top was tasty, and the toast was warm and toastyyy. I enjoyed this. The Ferrero Rochero was good too. I mean, who doesn't like having ferrero rochero added with their ice cream? It was a great addition and the whole thing was good! A classic banana split with a bit more of an addition. The honeydew shaved snow was alright. It was good for the most part especially with the fruit and ice cream, but the syrup was a little too artificial for me. This was alright, but it was refreshing! Overall, great place to come. Parking can be a little tricky if you're coming on a weekend, but it shouldn't be that bad either.

Great light, fluffy bingsoo in a small, cute place in the Richmond district! Stopped by with some friends after hotpot on a weekday night and it was the perfect sweet ending to our evening. I really enjoyed both the strawberry and melon bingsoos that we got - the shaved ice was light and fluffy, everything was not too sweet, and I loved the way it was presented especially with the mini melon balls. The place itself is also really cute with lots of wood and warm lighting and cute decorations. The staff are nice and the service is pretty fast - granted, I haven't gone during a busy time since I went late on a weeknight, but I would recommend regardless! Overall: 5/5

This cozy little cafe is so cute and full of delicious goodies. The staff were really nice and served us quickly. For savory we had the pork shoulder with stickie rice. It was tasty however the meat was chopped really small compared to the menu photo so a little deceptive. I was hoping for thicker slices of pork. For dessert, this is where they shine. We ordered the salted egg custard toast and ovaltine roti. Both came with vanilla ice cream. They salted egg toasted was yummy but I think could have had a bit more custard. The roti however was crispy and absolutely perfection. Would definitely come again for the roti!!

This has become a new local favorite of mine to grab a quick savory meal or indulge in some lovely Asian desserts. As a caution, the dessert portions can be big! On this double date, we ordered Roti Cha Thai and Kaya Toasted. The Thai tea ice cream and pandan complimented each other very well. Their presentation for both desserts was also very cute. I'll have to come back and try the others!

best thai dessert place in the bay area! this is the OG original spot. Thai tea and ovaltine items are our go-to. Ovaltine roti comes with condensed milk so if you don't want it, let the server know. Yum mama is spicy and so good! Will try other savory items next time.

Came into Naya on a Wednesday night and saw it was still packed. Even so we didn't end up waiting too long, the servers did seat us right after a party left. As for the food, we ordered 3 things. The Thai roti, salted egg toast and mango sticky rice bingsu. I loved the roti it was crispy and the sweetness from the Thai ice cream in combination was really tasty. The other 2 items were okay, it tasted how it sounds (Lol). The restaurants vibes were alright. I wish the place was a bit bigger since when it does get busy it does become quite crowded and you may feel a little squished.

Very cute and unique sit down dessert spot! They have a pretty large menu, so it took me some time to decide what to order. They also offer hot food in case you want a meal before the dessert. Definitely recommend getting one of the Dessert Roti as I've never seen anything like this offered anywhere else before. Roti was hot, crispy, and flaky which paired very nicely with ice cream and the custard sauce. Good spot to come with a few friends to share and try various things.

Hands down the best crepes I've ever had!! You must check this place out if you're in Hayes. They even had great snacks and ample amount of options to pick from. Ferrero crepe: they put crunchy pirouettes inside the crepes and that was life changing. Something about the crunch with the soft crepe and creamy ice cream was just the best dessert to end the day. Mango sticky rice crepe: this was a lot of coconut flavor and tons of sweet sticky rice. I loved trying this one as well because of the fresh mango pieces and coconut cream they poured all over it. The ferrero is definitely my go to! The inside of this cafe is so cute! Quite a small place so it gets packed in the evenings and nights. I loved going here to work during the day because it's nestled right in the middle of all the Hayes valley rush!

my friend called me crying at 10pm asking if it was okay to come over and I said ofc, anything you need, lmk. when she arrived, I realized the situation was worse than I thought and also, I would be a terrible therapist. so I asked, "Do you wanna go to a dessert cafe?" NaYa was open until midnight so we bussed over here. the line was kinda long but the wait wasn't too bad, we got to look over the menu and lurk overhearing someone's convo in viet lol. the saigonese accent was so strong... anyway, we ordered something savory and the ferrero crepe with vanilla and green tea ice cream to alleviate hunger and sadness. the Hokkaido milk crepe we were eyeing had run out, just like my friend's happiness from earlier in the day. I will focus the review on the crepe which was pretty good, definitely get the green tea ice cream. quite chocolatey and with plenty of crunch. surprise surprise, this cafe and its crepes were very Asian. so what that means is the fillings were the emphasis instead of the crepe which was more of a vehicle for them and therefore secondary in having any flavor of its own. predictably, main taste is Ferrero. it hit the spot but yeah. sorta like a sit-down genki? don't come expecting French breakfast for dinner, the crepes lack that oui oui baguette butter flavor and are pretty unambiguously dessert. like even an American would feel indecent eating this while the sky has light in it, which is saying something. probably... a shrink is more suitable for what we came for? but the sweet treat was really good, I left feeling both better and worse. better because the food/vibes were the cheer and solace we needed. but also worse because I'm lowkey lactose intolerant in denial and there is something both hilarious and profoundly sad about treating serious life stuff with sugar late at night. A cute cafe for foodies and saddies alike. I'll be back on another teary evening with a friend.

We arrived Friday night around 930pm with a group of 7. Parking was plentiful as meter parking is no longer required past 6pm. We were seated immediately and were provided quality service the entire time. I ordered two desserts and one fried rice plate. Overall, the quality of the food was really good and tasty! The pork shoulder was certainly on the oily side, but the dish was enjoyable. I've been coming here for years. I am sad to see the portion size is decreasing. We love coming here but it seems size matters

NaYa Dessert Cafe hits the spot for late night food. We came around 11 pm and the cafe was packed but we were able to snag a table. The waiter was very friendly. Ordered the grilled pork shoulder fried rice and it satisfied my late night food craving. The pork shoulder dipped in the tangy fish sauce pairs well with the fried rice. Finishing it off with the Mango Tango bingsu was the way to go. The bingsu was creamy and sweet with the mango syrup. The fried rice and fresh mango are a great combination with the bingsu. Glad that NaYa is open late to feed customers late night. Will definitely stop by again!

Decent desserts, but I will say it's not worth it for the price. I do appreciate the Thai flavors, and convenient location. I'd prefer to go to U Dessert because they come with more variety of toppings and sides. Salted egg toast: 7/10 salted egg flavor is so yummy, but there was too much bread and too little sauce. You will be left with plain bread after eating the center pieces. Black Thai tea crepe: 6/10 I'm not the biggest fan of soft crepes but my friends liked this dish. I wish the sauce was runnier and the tea taste was more prominent. DO ORDER: The Thai tea roti is the best thing I've tried from Naya (didn't order today), and is the most unique in terms of similar dessert.

I haven't been here in a long time so I was super excited. Waited about 15 mins for a table for 6 which is normal. Service is fast and efficient. Right off the bat I noticed that the portion decreased to 1/3 the size, but what isn't right. I tasted my dessert and it was beyond too sweet. I feel like they used the same around of condense milk as if the portion was the same size (the toast specifically). I tried other people's items as well and they were also too sweet. Aside from sweetness everything is fine. Will I come back? I am not sure. I find other dessert places staying consistent but Naya wasn't it for me (this time). Maybe I will again in the near future.

I've been to this location and the Richmond location a few times now. One of my favorite dessert cafes that's open late! Just a heads up it gets pretty busy on weekends. One of my favorites from the menus is their mango sticky rice! I love the casual vibe of this place and the staff is always so friendly!

i've come back a couple times since and the service has gotten better! they can still be a little slow on checking up on you, but the food comes out pretty quick. - mango tango bingsu (5/5): i've gotten this multiple times and it's a hit every time! the flavors are strong and go so so well with each other - banana nutella rolls (4/5): wasn't expecting to like this so much since i'm not a huge nutella fan, but it worked! the ice cream mellows out the sweetness, though it can get fairly sweet towards the end. also appreciate how much ice cream they give - bolan parfait (4/5): definitely try if you like coconut and taro! i liked the contrast the sticky rice gives the dish

If you plan on taking your time to enjoy your food and catching up with your friends, this is not the place. They expect you to order, eat, AND LEAVE right away. This dessert place has a lot of options and variety of desserts/food dishes, however your experience can be a hit or miss depending on how busy they are. Came in around 10pm on a Wednesday night for a group of 9. My dessert was 4/5 but experience was more so 1/5. Dessert/food took 25-60 min to come out and it was like 5 min intervals for each dish so half our party finished eating while the other half were still waiting on their items. Seems like they only have 1 person making dessert which might explain the long wait. Couple things to note: 1. They only set up 8 chairs and servers didn't bother helping us get another chair, we had to ask another table for their extra since that's the only one left in the whole place. 2. Food/dessert came out SUPER slow and other tables who got sat and ordered after us got all their items before our table?? 3. They pressure you to leave by dropping off the tab while some of us were still eating... 4. The guy making the dessert was constantly staring at our party and other tables making it uncomfortable to finish our food at our own pace. Felt so rushed and sort of ruined the experience. I understand that new customers are waiting and store might want to seat as many people as they can but it's a bit disrespectful to push our table to leave and when someone at our table is still eating due to the fact that their food came so much later than the rest of the table. Prices were a bit expensive but nonetheless, the salted egg croffle was yummy! Honestly, I probably wouldn't want to come back as there's other options in the same area that serve similar items that do not rush their customers to leave!!! Also, automatic 18% service charge is added onto the bill. I always leave a good tip but the service we received tonight most definitely did not deserve 18%.

NAYA YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS This is THE "ik a spot" and my lifeline throughout college. My best friend and I met here and go here after every inconvenience because it's delicious and it's comforting. I lean towards savory rather than sweet, so I would genuinely die for the fried rice with pork shoulder (and it tastes better the later in the night that you order). Rice is definitely cooked with love and the pork shoulder is juicy, tender, and offers the perfect savory flavor with just a bit of sweetness that pulls the whole thing together. MWAHHHH! I've also tried the fish ball explosion, fried fish balls, sai-oua, moo ping, fried squid tentacles, and fried tofu! I'd say anything on the menu is worth trying. As for desserts, I'm a fan of the thai tea toasted, the kaya toasted, and the mango tango (mango sticky rice bingsoo that solves all of my problems). My best friend always orders the banana nutella rolls. Super cute interior, quick and friendly service, and the playlists always eat. I love you NaYa

NaYa Dessert Cafe is so cute! Their space is small but quaint in a good way. Thai dessert places have been popping up recently in my city, but NaYa has been around for a while and honestly feels like they are paving the trend in Thai-related desserts. I ordered the Kaya Toasted to share with my friend. It's a sort of carved-in brick toast with pandan custard sauce, ice cream, and bananas on the side. The balance of the ice cream and toast had a balancing contrast, and I enjoyed the sweetness from the pandan. Good spot to get your dessert cravings in, hope to try out the other items on their menu!

NaYa is one of the restaurants in the Richmond District that opens quite late at night. It's a good place to grab late night bites and desserts. The wait time can be a bit long on the weekends and around 9 PM. Food: 4/5. I love their dessert food -- always solidly delicious. I like to order their toasts and roti. Their toasts are crispy and drizzled with the creamiest custard. I highly recommend their salted egg toasts. It's a perfect balance of savory goodness and sweet delight. The dessert roti is soooo flakey and goes so well with their Thai tea custard. Although their food is amazing, the price is a bit on the expensive side. A toast can cost around $18. Service: 2/5. Usually very busy. They serve food on paper plates and bowls so the presentation of the food is a bit lacking. Due to how busy they are, we have had multiple encounters where they give us the check after 2 mins of serving the food. I felt a bit pressured to finish our food quickly. Other than that, the staff is decently nice.

I came here to say on a Saturday night either my friends and her family. We were a big party of 9. - the ambiance was nice. It was a pretty small spot so we had tow ait due to our party size. - the food was great. I would give it a 10/10. We got the nutella banana rolls as well as a bunch of other treats. The mango was very fresh and i would go just for those dishes again. ‍ - the only weird thing about this place was when we were told we had to sit at one table that usually seated four so that the party after us could get the other table we could have moved for us. The next party after us was only a party of two and they were seated at a table of four. We were a party of 9 that were forced to squish into a table of 4. We all thought that was quite odd but because we just wanted to eat and leave we made do. Overall 8/10 experience.

Came here after OUTSIDE LANDS because we wanted something sweet and it was so good! We waited for about 10-15 mins before we got seated which wasn't too bad. It's pretty small inside and a little cramped. The matcha toasted was really good! The toast was chewy and caramelized + green tea ice cream was super flavorful and creamy. There was a little too much green tea sauce but aside from that it was super good! The mango bingsoo was also really yum and the shaved ice cream perfectly melted in your mouth. The sticky rice was good as well + loved the mango flavor in the sauce to pour over. The fried rice balls were also rlly good and tasted like a chewy / mochi fish ball. Overall really cute place for dessert or snacks when it's late. It wasn't located in the best area but was not horrible. 10/10 recommend!!

I enjoyed my dinner here. I actually lived in the Richmond a few years back but never went around to eating here. I missed out because the food, especially the desserts, is pretty good. My friend and I ordered the pork belly skewers and fish ball explosion to share. The 3 skewers came with sticky rice. They definitely make a good snack for one person if you're not that hungry. The skewers are maybe 4 inches long. That would've actually been the perfect portion size for me because I wasn't that hungry (but I tend to order as if I'm starving lol). The fish ball explosion was okay. They were more like fish ovals and the chili sauce was on the side. I think next time I'll stick to regular fish balls which were maybe $1 cheaper. But, the portion size was good for two people in my opinion. For my entree, I ordered the fried rice with crispy chicken. The fried had good flavor and the texture was more on the softer side. The fried chicken was good, too. No complaints here. I paired it with a ginger tea and that was yummy. I couldn't finish my entree but I had to have a dessert. I never had a roti dessert that came with egg so I got the banana/egg roti, which comes with vanilla ice cream. It was delicious! The egg was cooked inside the roti. And because there was a sugary glaze on top (perhaps condensed milk?) the dessert had a good balance of savory to sweet. I ate almost all of it even though I was stuffed 1/3 in. This dish definitely could've been shared. My friend ordered the pad see ew, which she enjoyed and also couldn't finish. Service was very friendly and the food came out quickly. We were one of the first people to come in when they opened and I know this place is popular. I imagine it might take longer when there's more people. Also, it's a small space so a line can form fairly quickly. And because the space is small, it can get loud inside easily. Nonetheless, the ambiance is friendly and it's a great place to share food among friends. I'm glad this place has survived the pandemic. If you're in the Richmond District and are looking for good desserts, especially late at night, definitely check out this place.

Naya is my go-to dessert spot in the city! I love that they close late since many people may work overtime and want a late night snack. Besides desserts they also serve entree dishes like fried rice and noodle dishes, which I've heard is really delicious. We ordered the mango tango bingsu which is super delicious. It comes with a mango syrup for the bingsu and a side of mango sticky rice. The bingsu is super creamy and sweet, when paired with the mango it's such a perfect combination! The salted egg toast originally comes with vanilla ice cream, but you can swap the ice cream flavor, so we did green tea. I love that the toast also comes with strawberries, but the salted egg is drizzled on the toast. It's not too salty and has hints of sweetness to it, it's also pretty creamy! As for the roti, I think the thai tea is the best, you can really taste the flavor. It is on the sweeter side, but whatever sauce they use along with the thai tea ice cream makes this dessert my favorite. This location is a bit small, there's maybe around 10 tables, and can definitely get busy, so be prepared to wait. The staff are always super friendly and nice, and what I love most about Naya is that they always play Thai music. Every time I'm here I'm always shazaming the music being played. I definitely recommend Naya, it's in my opinion one of the best dessert spots in the city!!

I went here after lunch to share some strawberry bingsoo with my friends, and it was delicious as usual; you can't go wrong with this choice. They have many options to choose from, and I want to come back and try their toast. Note everything comes on the side.

I was craving something sweet, so I decided to order bingsoo to go. I saw that they had durian bingsoo, which is hard to come by and had to order it. I also ordered a royal milk tea. They quoted me 20 minutes for my order to be done and ready for pick up. I got there around 25 to 30 minutes after my order time and they weren't ready. I just had to wait an additional five minutes but given because the place was packed! So many people were dining in which was great to see! There was a lot of traffic that night so my bingsoo did melt a bit by the time I got back but it was still SO GOOD! the durian was really good as well! The milk tea... I finished the whole thing in the car. I had it warm and it was the perfect pick me up during the rainy weather. I would definitely come back and try them in person!

me and my friend came at around 3PM on a weekend. It wasn't crowded and the staff are really friendly. It's a little small inside, but I didn't really mind since it wasn't busy anyways and it still looked cute lol. Cozy place to talk and catch up w friend(s) We ordered the mango bingsu and the ferrero crepe (vanilla and chocolate ice cream). my friend liked the crepe + it is the perfect size to share. I found it a bit sweet but i enjoyed the crunchy texture of the inside of the crepe. We both loved the sticky rice that came with the bingsu. if i came here again i would get the mango sticky rice because We were eating that up. The mangoes are sweet and it paired well with the bingsu.

Food was good as usual but when we walked in, nobody cares. We walked in planning to have dine-in but there were no table so decided to walk to cashier to get to go. We walked all the way to the cashier and at least 2 staff just looked the other way and avoid eye contact. I don't know what's happening. We waited for about 5 - 10 mins mins thinking maybe they are busy. We stranded there, got the menu ourselves and waited for them. We have been constantly looking at them and they have been busy with their stuff. Finally, we have to call one on staff telling them we wanna order to go then we finally get some attention. Anyway, good is still good but I think they can at least ask do we need anything or a simple hi would be nice.

I believe this is one of the only late night dessert spots open so it gets poppin as the night goes by! Seating inside are mostly little stools and it can get crowded. Lots of good options but pretty pricey for the quality I think... it's still pretty good tho! I would also mention that the desserts are almost tooooo sweet, as someone with a big sweet tooth, but hits the spot after a savory meal. I have yet to try the other savory items they offer too!

The mango sticky rice crepe is the thing to order here. Nothing else compares honestly. It's hot sticky rice with mango and vanilla ice cream wrapped in a hot crepe skin and covered with mango sauce. The hot and cold mouth feel is sensational and the taste just brings you to another level. The Thai ice tea crepe cake was pretty delicious too. I enjoyed dipping it in the sauce a lot and the boba was pretty delicious too but more crunchy than chewy which I liked.

I tried Naya for the first time and it's def one of my favorite dessert spots in SF. The interior is pretty small so there can be a wait outside. We got lucky and beat the line. The service was pretty fast though for the sticky mango rice. We waited a bit for the Kaya Toast. Both of these were delicious but my favorite went to the Kaya toast. It was filled w/ pandan & toast & topped with coconut shavings, bananas & coconut ice cream. I will definitely be coming back for this. The sticky mango rice is a classic and they serve it with coconut ice cream. I'd definitely order this again too if I was craving it. Parking: Street Parking so def a struggle. Cant wait to come back!

One of my favorite dessert spots in the bay area! I feel like you can never go wrong with any of the desserts on the menu. Plus, the interior is so cute and a nice hangout spot. They have so many good dessert options from bingsoo, roti, honey toast, crepes, and many more. We got the Thai roti and it's topped with Thai tea ice cream and a Thai tea drizzle which is so yummy. We also got the melon bingsoo which was so fluffy and refreshing! Love that they open late and the staff are always so nice.
