YuanYang Dessert鸳鸯糖水铺

YuanYang is a smaller dessert shop located in Flushing, serving light desserts typically not found in other stores. The staff are friendly and brings the food out quickly. The food can take a bit depending on how hectic it is, and also since each dish is handmade and made to order. We got the signature Ginger Milk Pudding, mango sago, and red bean paste. The Ginger milk pudding comes in a timer, and it results in a silky pudding that is light, not too strong of a ginger taste but also really good. The mango sago is also pretty good, but very similar to other places. I didn't really enjoy the red bean paste or black sesame, but the others did.

Excellent place! Desserts were so good, not too sweet (read: less unhealthy). Service was friendly and quick. They spoke good English. Interior design was very good for a place to eat (at least they’re trying, but not desperate; and finding that good balance is really not that easy). Anyway, we ordered the signature dessert (the black rice was my fave maybe because it’s the sweetest, but combined with the other parts, they just tasted perfect) and taro matcha drink. Price was also pretty decent for the portion. In fact, this is the best Asian dessert place in NYC so far. They should open one in Manhattan!!

I enjoyed everything here. It was super fulfilling, the environmental was calm and clean. It is a small space but the food was great. We had a great time together. When I come to New York next time we will be back again. The waitress was also very informative on the food and services.

This place serves quality and delicious desserts. I really enjoyed the desserts we got. We had the Double Layer Milk Custard with mango, Mango Pomelo Sago bowl, and Cranberry Snow Fungus with Peach Resin. I thought the mango sago was higher quality than the ones I've had from at Mango Mango. I was afraid the snow fungus dessert was going to be going to be too sweet but it was perfectly balanced. The space is clean and the staff is friendly. Unprompted, the staff provided us with bowls to share our desserts. That was really nice. This place offers a small discount if you pay with cash. The restaurant is small, and it can get really crowded.

Flushing has a ton of restaurants for you to dine at, but very few dessert spots. YuanYang is one of the few dessert spots that you have to hit up after your meal. While the wait can be from 0 min to 20 min, I assure you, it'll be worth it. A collection of Neo-Chinese drinks and sweets, there is something for everyone. I highly recommend the Rose Stove-Boiled Milk Tea. A fragrant milk tea that is not sweet with some rosy aftertaste. The Mango Pomelo Sago Bowl and Soymilk Pudding Signature Dessert are both heavenly. With tons of toppings, you can do various combinations with each bite. The Vanilla Ice Cream with Cappuccino and Egg Pudding was an interesting one. I'm not a fan of coffee, so ordering something with Cappuccino is definitely weird for me. However, the coffee was only strong at first, but then it became subtle as it blended with the vanilla ice cream. The only issue I had with this is that the dessert becomes really sticky and chewy. It's still delicious, but you have to eat carefully.

The dessert was good but the mango tastes a little off… don’t recommend anything with mango in it. The coffee ice cream with pudding and granola was actually not bad. Had a drink with coffee in it.. wasn’t a fan.. need more cream and sugar..

It's a fun dessert place for young people. The atmosphere is absolutely fun and lively, and they also serve small savory dishes like pop corn chicken or pasta. There are a lot of Chinese regional modern dessert choices at this place. We loved the mango durian dessert. The fried dishes are less desirable. The oils had some unpleasant smell to it. Anyway, after all it is a dessert shop!

It's a small Chinese dessert spot. Everytime I went it's crowded and long line waiting😂. The desert is delicious, so it's worth to wait. The traditional Cantonese style milk pudding serves there is better than other dessert places in NYC.

Pretty good desserts - lives up to the "not too sweet" Asian palate. I liked the hot ginger pudding.

Surprisingly wow'ed by their savory dishes. I love their creamy pasta and fried chicken! On the other hand, their desserts have unfortunately been a let down for me. The black sesame drink was bad imo and the coconut dessert was decent but didn't wow me. Service is quick and the place itself is pretty small. Always seems to be somewhat a line but I was seated pretty quickly.

Came here with my girl friends, we ordered three items, ginger milk, taro mochi (warm) and mango pomelo sago. taro mochi came out cold, we then let our server know that we wanted warm, she brought it back to the kitchen... and came back with the same one microwaved. It was a turn off that they just microwaved it to warm these up, I honestly expected them to remake a new one..but whatever.. How do we know it was microwaved? Because it was partially warm and partially cold. The mochi in this dish wasn't gooey and mochi-like.. if you love mochi, you will be disappointed. It was more like a blob, I'm not sure if it's because they were not warmed up properly or they aren't freshly made or both.. but with the price, I expect these to be freshly made daily, lol The mango sago tho, was good. This was the only dessert that would keep me going back to try other menu items. The ginger milk was mediocre.. wouldn't order again but it was something interesting to try

Good popcorn chicken. Water smelled strange though--was a little garlicky. Lots of dessert and snack collection. Walked in around 9pm Sunday for group of 5 and was seated pretty soon. Servers were nice

Yuan Yang - so good. We went here about a couple of months ago on a random Thursday night. At the time, we didn't know what to expect but loved seeing different drink options and desserts that looked delicious. We ended up ordering drinks and on the way home, still delicious. I believe we were speaking to the owner who was sitting near the booth. Friendly service. One of my favorites is a Mango Pomelo Sago drink. Often, a few if the drink places are expensive. Yuan Yang, the price is probably one of the most reasonable I have seen compared to other places. Outcome is as creamy and tasteful as you see it. We returned again tonight. Place was packed, however it's good to see an establishment see customers and trying this place out. We will try to come back soon to eat desserts too. Friendly service the first time we came. We ordered from the kiosk tonight and our order didn't take long. All payments accepted. If you happen to park in Flushing- park nearby. Walking distance is better to get to Yuan Yang.

I've been looking for silky ginger milk pudding since forever. I had the best in Hong Kong. It's very simple but very hard to make at home for some reason. It's just ginger juice, heated milk and sugar, but it's so good and satisfying. I was so excited to try it here. It came with a timer and they pour it right in front of you. I tried the other desserts but they were just okay. The Osmanthus milk tea was good. I also tried the coffee dessert with ice cream. It came with so much other stuff, I was so confused. I won't be ordering that again. The service was very good, the place was nice and clean. I would definitely come back and try the other desserts and esp for thr ginger milk pudding.

YAY for a spot serving some quality Chinese desserts! Came by on a Saturday afternoon around 2:45pm with a party of 4 looking for a lil something sweet after finishing up lunch nearby. We lucked out there were a few tables open and they seated us right away, within 10 minutes several tables walked in right behind us and the restaurant quickly filled up. There's seating for about ten tables of 4, with a counter in the back. Their menu consists of a couple dozen or so savory items like small apps and fried meat and veggie skewers, several light entree choices, a wide milk tea and specialty drink section, and an entire side of a menu (of two sides) featuring different types of desserts. It was hard to decide because they all looked good! Eventually we decided to get a couple Signature Coffee Milk Teas $7, a Black Sesame Mochi Milk Tea $8, a Roasted Pear with Peach Glue and Snow Lotus Seeds $13, and a Vanilla Ice Cream with Egg Pudding and cappuccino $12. Of the desserts, the former was very light, they allowed the natural sugar in the pear to stand out, the poached fruit sat in a bowl of light sugar syrup which imparted a slight sweetness to the accompanying lotus seeds, white snow fungus (it almost looks like small pieces of pale white, translucent frisée, texture-wise like a very thin seaweed*) goji berries and dates. Not sure if I'm doing justice to the description but it came off as a quite traditional style dessert. The latter take on an affogato was unique in two ways--1) the egg pudding sat under the scoop of ice cream and wasn't immediately visible until you dug in, it added a nice creaminess and additional vanilla flavor on top of the ice cream. 2) the crispy cereal they added on top added an unexpected crunchy texture--my only small crtitque on this is a couple of the dried fruit pieces were very hard to chew, like so over-dry where I felt like it might hurt my teeth to bite down hard. Other than that it was delicious! Would get this again. It was easy to communicate to the staff in both Chinese and English when we were there. They were quick to take our order, answer questions and the desserts and drinks took about 5-10 minutes to come out. I'm curious to try their osmanthus drinks, it's not as common to see this flavor in the states. *can't think of a western equivalent to this texture .

I love their ginger milk pudding! They make it in front of you and you have to wait a few minutes for it, so worth. I've gotten other things from here but this was the best thing on their menu.

Came to try this place on a Monday night and it wasn't busy. The space itself is pretty small, but service is quick so space opens up pretty quickly. We tried two items: the mango pomelo sago bowl and the ginger milk pudding. The mango pomelo sago bowl was super refreshing and was not too sweet. The ginger milk pudding was HOT and very ginger forward. I really enjoyed it because the weather was cold that day and I enjoy ginger, but I would say steer clear if you're not a ginger fan.

First time coming here last week after my friend mentioned this was a chain! There was definitely a language barrier with our waitress who barely spoke any English - everytime I said something in English, she replied in Mandarin. I could see how it may be difficult to communicate. On to the desserts- we all got a few things to try. Really enjoyed the mango pomelo and the milk teas. We tried the jasmine and osmanthus - I did think both tasted kinda like regular milk tea. Once the teas sat for a while longer, you could taste the teas a little more, I wish they steeped the tea a bit longer before serving to us. We got another dessert with pandan, mango and durian which I enjoyed as well!

Been meaning to try this place for awhile and i was able to convince my sister. This place is small i mean SMALL you couldn't even seat no more than 30 people. They have tables that are able to seat 5 people the max. Downside about it isn't good for handicaps. Narrow walk way [especially when people are standing around waiting for an table and they're blocking the entrance Also the ground even. But the good thing about it is that they were super supportive and gave us a larger table than a small one. Which it's a plus!!! So back to the FOOOD!!!! We definitely ordered alot bc we wanted to try some many different dishes. But our stomach could hold soooo much lol - Ginger Milk pudding - Black sesame coconut milk/black sesame mochi milk tea - Black sugar Boil milk tea -Purple rice with taro balls, mango, red bean on a coconut milk Everything was delicious and amazing!!!!

If you're craving Chinese dessert soups like Wai Po used to make....Yuan Yang will sort of hit the spot. The offerings are on point, but the flavors and temps are kind of off. Things that should be served hot are served lukewarm or cold, or things that should scream sesame only kind of whimper it instead. Even the divisive durian--the Donald Trump of fruits--wasn't pungent enough for lovers of its flavor. Out of everything we tried, the Mango Pomelo Sago was the only one universally liked, but every Chinese place offers this dessert now, so I wouldn't come here just for that. Sigh. I miss Wai Po's cooking.

Had this place saved in my bookmarks for awhile now, but every time we pass by, there is always a long line. Finally decided to stop in at 4pm on a Saturday and the line wasn't too bad. We waited for 10-15 min to get a table. The food came fast and even though some groups tend to linger for a bit, the tables turnover fairly quickly, especially if you have a small group. We tried the "IG famous" Ginger milk pudding. Despite the fact that it is a bit gimmicky, it was very good, you do need to be a fan of ginger though. The sesame mochi soup was also very good, perfect for a chilly day. Service was friendly and helpful.

I'm sorry but the desserts I tried were a miss. My friend and I shared the pandan jelly with watermelon and the coconut drink with rice balls and grass jelly. The pandan jelly had some like... rice crispies or something. The watermelon wasn't particularly fresh, the pandan was very soft with no chew at all, and the flavors just didn't mesh together. I don't even know what the additional coconut milk on the side was doing for this. Everything felt so random in this bowl. The coconut drink had rice balls that were also not chewy. I expected the base to be coconut milk, but it definitely was a mix of coconut and regular milk which I'm not fond of. It wasn't sweet either and honestly tasted a lot like just milk in a cup. I guess we didn't get the most popular items, but my friend and I were so disappointed that it was laughable. We waited a couple minutes as well and wrongly assumed that a long queue meant decent dessert. I love my grandma a lot, but the best way to describe the items overall would be like what your Asian grandmother (who never eats or makes desserts) tries to make you as a first time dessert.

3.5/5 Desserts come out pretty quickly, they're very pretty and on the unique side too, but not outstanding in terms of the taste. Durian Mango with Pandan Jelly Noodle: this one I enjoyed quite a bit, with the pungent durian and the delicious pandan jelly "noodles". It was served almost lukewarm though, so I wished everything could've been colder, especially on a hot summer day trying to enjoy some refreshing desserts. It wasn't too sweet either, and I like the presentation style of pouring my own coconut milk too. There still aren't many places that have these noodles, so I enjoyed it, and the pandan flavor in the noodles was actually present too. Taro Paste Coconut Pudding: they asked if I wanted this hot or cold, and hot was the recommended, but on a 90 degree day? No wayyyy, cold it is! Again, it wasn't served cold enough for me :( I was surprised by the uniqueness of this one, but it didn't quite work for me. It's very mochi like and dense kind of dessert, but the taro paste is very strong and quite creamy. Just too heavy for me for such a small bowl

The desserts here a pretty large and best shared. All the desserts (as all Chinese dessert) are not too sweet and mild in flavor. My favorite is the mango sago which is fruity and refreshing. The signature classic (with purple rice and taro paste) was also good. I especially enjoyed the taro which gave the dish a nice savory flavor. Each one comes with some coconut milk which you can pour over the dessert.

A new dessert spot in Flushing offering a variety of traditional Chinese desserts! We tried the Purple Rice with Taro Ball Signature and the Durian Mango with Pandan Jelly. Both are sago-based desserts with various toppings. They provide coconut milk on the side, so you can customize how much to add, which we liked. The desserts were tasty, especially the use of fresh fruit, but at $13 each, it feels a bit pricey. While I might not make it my go-to, I'd definitely get the durian sago again and try other items on their menu next time! Aesthetics and vibes are great and the server took time to explain what was in each dessert when we had questions. It's worth a visit.

Cute dessert place in Flushing. I ordered a Mango Pomelo Sago, which was very tasty. I liked the jellies and rice balls they add, but there was very little pomelo. I enjoyed it, but I do think it was slightly overpriced. If you fill out a Google review you get a free Jasmine Tea Yogurt. I really enjoyed this one!! Delicious and refreshing. Service was pretty fast, and staff was friendly.

Had this place bookmarked since my first trip to Flushing last month. Lots of dessert options, would come back and try something new next time. Taro Red Bean: used real taro, would be even better with some toppings Pricey.

The place was a bit crowded, and there were several parties in line after dinner time when I visited on Friday night. We had Osmanthus Stove-boiled milk tea and Purple rice with taro balls signature dessert this time. The milk tea is beyond my expectation because they also included Chinese ingredients such as goji berries and dates in the pot, which elevates the flavor. The purple rice dessert reminds me of the item from Meet Fresh, but the coconut milk with the toppings surprisingly went well! Follow me on Instagram @what's up Rosie to explore more

It's around 4.5. The ginger milk pudding was my favorite. It's rare to find that's freshly made in front of you. Once the hourglass was flipped twice, the pudding was ready to enjoy. I didn't really pay attention to the flipping, glad the staff did. I sure will be back when I'm in the area.

Pretty decent Chinese desserts. The durian was fresh and delicious but otherwise nothing super outstanding. The interior is well decorated and is very lively but I wouldn't say the desserts here stand out. Tastes the same as any other dessert place you can find in Flushing. The manager and staff are very nice though.

Tried their ginger milk pudding, double milk pudding, mango sago, taro mochi, osmanthus with fermented rice milk, and peach glue, snow fungus with lotus seed milk. The best taste wise were the peach glue snow fungus with lotus seed milk drink and the taro mochi. The mochi was not so sweet and paired well with the warm taro paste. The drink tasted exactly like its description and was not too sweet. I've never had a bad mango sago, and it was the same case here. The pudding were all kind of wet and not fully solidified. Great place to try a modern version of traditional Chinese sweets :)

New store along that block in Flushing that was gathering crowds, so check it out out of curiosity. The place was fully local. Everyone was speaking Mandarin. We thought it was more of a skewer place at first glance, but realized they had a ton of dessert options, with some savory main course dishes. They give everyone a complimentary appetizer basket, full of little small treats. There were some good ones in there! The skewers were alright. I mainly remember our dessert though, which was the Durian Mango w. Pandan Jelly Noodle ($10). A tropical delight of sweet with a hint of tart. I never had anything like it, and everything worked so well together! I can see how this would work as a hangout place to be able to fit in some light bites and dessert in our meals of the day. I personally wouldn't come back though, but now we know.

Chinese people always love a "not to sweet" dessert and I think this definitely checks that box. This HK spot has delicious dessert that are light. I've had Ginger Milk Pudding which comes out liquid, but the heat and the acidity in the ginger creates the pudding. Papaya Peach Resin with Snow Lotus Seed feels healthy, but in the best way. Perfect after a heavy meal. The Sea Coconut Pear Jelly with Milk was good. Make sure to break up the jelly before drinking

Came here for a sweet treat after grabbing dinner in flushing! I love chinese desserts so this was right up my alley. I tried the ginger milk pudding and the purple rice ----. The ginger milk pudding was small but super delicious (very gingery!) and they show you some of the process with the sand hourglass which denotes how much time you need to wait for the reaction so it becomes pudding consistency. The purple rice dessert was also so refreshing and delicious as well, felt slightly more worth for the price point, would recommend both!! Come again? Yes, but maybe not a go to spot just because I did find it a bit expensive.

Cute spot that is lively and clean. Service is great. We got the hot rose jasmine tea in the pot with dates and it was delicious! Tasted like really good milk tea. Great over a conversation. I'd come back to show this to friends and try their other desserts.

This place offers a unique and beautifully crafted teapot that stands out. I tried the watermelon and pandan jelly dessert with ice cream, which also included sago and milk. It was both delightful and distinct. We were seated instantly and the wait wasn't long, they have a decent amount of seating inside as well.

I came here after dinner on a Wednesday night with a friend. We ordered the famous ginger soy milk pudding and the mango pomelo sago. The ginger soy milk pudding was not premade, they actually put the liquid into a hot bowl and provided an hourglass timer. You have to wait after two turns which I think was 2 minutes? Sorry I was busy eating the mango pomelo sago haha. It magically set after the timer was done. The pudding was very silky and soft. The pudding was surprisingly very gingery but I like ginger so it was great for me. However, if you don't like strong ginger, you will not like this pudding. The mango pomelo sago was delicious as well since there was a lot of toppings (mango, pomelo, jelly, sago, mochi, mango pudding) and it was not that sweet. I would definitely come back! It definitely has authentic Chinese desserts that I have not seen anywhere else.

We ordered the three most popular dessert. The ginger soy milk pudding. Very strong ginger if you don't like ginger I don't suggest getting it. The mango pomelo sago was pretty good and lastly the taro paste coconut pudding. You had a choice of hot or cold. The taro paste was very creamy and dense. Pretty heavy for only one person to eat. Overall I would come back to try the other desserts. The service was decent and ambiance is a bit tiny when packed.

Busy and authentic chinese dessert stop. The desserts are tasty and not too sweet but personally wasn't super impressed. Expect a wait if you come here on the weekend as its pretty popular. Portions are between small and large but feel weird to call medium - fair for the price and nice to share but I could also prob eat 2 on my own and not feel fat.

Excellent customer service and care. We had questions about our order and the staff is friendly and patience to explain to us. Look forward to our next visit!

Original and refreshing desserts with a variety of ingredients like lotus seed and root, glutinous rice ball, peach gum, and taro bits. We tried one with clear sugar syrup and another with milky coconut juice. Both are good.

This place is average at best. Space is small and they pack people close to each other that you can barely get into your table. Waitress spilled a cup of water on my friend and was barely apologetic as well as her colleague who told my friend to just go into he bathroom and use the hand dryer to dry off... terrible customer service As for the food, we were comped some random pudding that we didnt even ask for nor were ask about any free dessert for them accidentally spilling water all over my friend. It was meh. As for what we actually ordered: Ginger pudding - If you like ginger, it's okay Durian, Mango, with Pandan Jelly, comes with coconut milk on the side? - Meh, lacked flavor Assam Milk Tea - this tasted weird, I didnt like it the desserts weren't great, my friend and I didnt even finish them cause they just lacked any kind of flavor. I wouldnt recommend this place to anyone, especially my own friends.

This place caught my eyes when the sign was up. I am anticipating to know more about Chinese desserts, other than bubble tea. This place is nicely decorated and gave me a comfortable vibe. It is hard to decide what to pick just by looking on the menu. The server gave us an iPad with all the pic and this helped us a lot. We ordered Soymilk pudding dessert and black sesame red bean mochi. We picked the former one because of the pic. It looked really nice with different stuff combined together. They were not overly sweet. I like the osmanthus jelly and syrup, which was slightly sweet and fresh. The soymilk pudding was a little plain but good with the syrup. The little dumpling and tarp balls were bouncy chewy, which I enjoy a lot. The black sesame red bean mochi was a little disappointing the black sesame soup tasted good and smooth. But the mochi doesn't blend in well. Also, the plating of it looked weak. I would suggest to have a plate underneath the nice bowl. Overall, it was an good experience and I would like to return to try other desserts

Prices have gone up comparing to the pictures from one month ago. Charge a fee for using credit card, so you will have to order at the counter to pay cash. I have bookmarked this place for awhile and finally got a chance to stop by on a rainy Saturday night. In the afternoon, I thought about ordering something here for dining in but changed the plan; when I got here at night, there were many people waiting by the door and blocked the entrance, I was so glad that I was only here for takeout. Both staffs that I interacted with were very nice. While the recent menu from a month ago says it's $8, when I ordered the double layer milk, it became $9 now, after tax it's basically $10. It does taste good and authentic enough, but $10 for a dessert is still crazy. I am having mixed feeling about this place. I don't think the price justifies but happy to have it available without going to Shun Deck in Brooklyn for double layer milk.

Pretty solid Chinese desserts and pudding. The service is pretty fast. I really liked the sesame one the most.

I'm not sure if I can leave this review here bc I only ordered from this cafe via uber eats. I have to say all the desserts I've tried are 10/10. 5 star cafe for sure. I've only had the taro mochi dessert and the purple rice mochi milk tea. I have yet to be so passionate about any dessert place

These are very traditional Chinese dessert that heals the soul from the cold winter. The black milk tea gives the body a warm sensation, while you enjoy the roasted pear to soothe your throat. And lastly the ginger pudding will give your immune system a boost to ward off the chill days ahead.

Came here on a Saturday afternoon after lunch because it's a new dessert place in Flushing, Queens. It was packed but not crowded. Not sure if they didn't have the AC on or what but it was quite humid inside the store. We tried four different desserts and they were smaller than I expected for $7-10 each. Taste was just ok.

Had their signature ginger milk pudding so good on a cold day. Soft and sweet. The service was great they made sure I was able to get all my pictures and answer all our questions. It's a cute shop that allows you to chat and enjoy your tea.

The ginger milk pudding and the double milk custard are my favorite desserts in China and can never find it in New York. So happy to have found a place that serves it! The service was pretty good and the ambiance is nice and calm. Definitely will be returning, however the portions are rather large.

Friends recommended this place. Very cute interior design. However, I would be wary of what time/day you come. Came here for lunch and was disappointed by both food and drink. Brought this to the attention of the waiter, and they took care of it immediately. Would love to give this place a second chance because of the service.

I ordered mango pomelo drink and toro paste (hot). Mango pomelo (drink): rating: 3/5 they added Kanten or agar in traditional Hong Kong dessert, giving it more fun, chewy texture. Taro paste: rating: 3/5 Taro paste is not overly sweet with mochi. It has a nice presentation, but nothing particular stands up. Priced too high for the portion. I expect more.

This is a Chinese-style dessert restaurant. The main thing is delicious and healthy desserts made with fresh original food. There are also some simple snacks and some drinks. It is very suitable for gathering and chatting with friends. The environment is small, elegant and clean, and the service is also very good.

We came here after dinner for dessert and loved it!! They had a variety of interesting desserts so we got the Soymilk Pudding ... it was perfect for my taste. Not too sweet and still flavorful. We also got the black sesame coconut milk. Will definitely be back.

hit or miss spot, staff was really nice and menu had a good selection, would recommend if your not on a budget
