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.

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.

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.

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.

A really cute, cozy cafe that serves food and desserts. We had already eaten dinner, so we came just for dessert. The place is small and crowded, and there were long lines ahead of us. We only ordered desserts: a jasmine tea cheese pudding and a mango durian coconut pudding served inside a coconut. Both were good, but it was pricey for the portion size. I wish there had been more durian and mango pieces in the coconut pudding. If I remember correctly, they were running a five-star review promotion that gives you free items for leaving a five-star review, so I would not trust all of the five-star ratings blindly.

Came here with some friends after dinner and we ordered 4 desserts to try: Crispy Milk Roll 8/10 Ginger Milk Pudding 9/10 Taro Ball Mochi 9/10 Mango Pomelo Sago Bowl 8/10 I thought the Ginger Milk Pudding was the best (and the little hourglass on top was a nice touch) but be prepared because you have to really like ginger to enjoy this. However, the price of everything was just a tad too high for my liking, especially considering that I know how to make these desserts at home, so I can’t give this place 5 stars.

YuanYang Dessert is a relatively small and modern chain that appears quite new, offering a pleasant atmosphere that includes clean restrooms, a definite plus. The main draw for me was the desserts themselves. I loved that everything was not too sweet, which is exactly what I prefer. This made the experience feel lighter and less heavy than typical dessert places. While the signature dessert was perfectly fine, it wasn't remarkable for me, so I'm looking forward to exploring the rest of their menu on my next visit. I was a bit surprised by a few menu details. First, they didn't carry the hot, black sesame-filled mochi, which is a staple at many similar dessert shops. More importantly, the menu description for the sesame balls was unclear, and the waitress failed to mention that the item was fried when I ordered. This lack of transparency is concerning, especially for customers who need to be cautious about preparation methods due to dietary restrictions or allergies. Hopefully, they clarify the menu and preparation methods in the future. In terms of convenience, the location stands out. They offer a great self-service screen for quick takeout orders, which is a nice bonus. Attentional, the staff was patient, accommodating, and spoke fluent English when answering my questions. Overall, I will absolutely return. Its excellent location, right on a block with several other great restaurants, makes it the perfect place go to for dessert.

YuanYang Dessert (鸳鸯糖水铺) captures the essence of traditional Chinese desserts while presenting them in a polished and modern way. I’ve been here twice and each visit highlighted how much thought they put into ingredients, texture, and flavor balance. On my first visit, the mango pomelo sago stood out as a refreshing Hong Kong classic the sweetness of ripe mango balanced by the slight bitterness of pomelo and creaminess of coconut milk. The roasted pear with peach gum and snow lotus seeds felt both elegant and nourishing, the pear naturally sweet while the jelly-like peach gum and lotus seeds added texture and health benefits. The soymilk pudding was silky with a subtle nuttiness from fresh soybeans, and the double-layer milk custard, a Shunde specialty, was rich yet delicate with its signature milk skin that melted smoothly on the palate. On the second visit, the jasmine tea cheese pudding combined floral fragrance with creamy depth, creating an elegant bite. The vanilla ice cream with cappuccino egg pudding came topped with granola and oats, along with raisins ,I personally wasn’t a fan of the raisins, but the dessert overall still worked well, balancing the creaminess of ice cream, the light bitterness of cappuccino pudding, and the crunch from the toppings. The jasmine stove-boiled milk tea, served in a clay pot with red dates and jasmine flowers , was aromatic and comforting, brewed slowly for a rounded flavor with natural sweetness from the dates and earthy notes from the flower. The shop itself is cozy and welcoming, and while prices can be a little on the higher side for the portion size, the overall quality and execution make it worthwhile. There’s also a small 1% surcharge for card payments, but it doesn’t take away from the experience. Overall it is a lovely spot for anyone who enjoys traditional Chinese sweets with a refined, modern touch.

A lovely Asian dessert spot that really delivers on authenticity and atmosphere. I absolutely loved the pottery they use, it made the whole experience feel genuine, like stepping into a sweet shop in China. Here's what we tried: Ginger Pudding (4/5): A fun and authentic experience! I appreciated the preparation / processwhere you wait for it to solidify. It has a wonderfully strong, potent ginger flavor, which I loved. Pandan Jelly (4/5): Very visually refreshing, but I did wish the jelly itself packed a little more of that pandan flavor. Osmanthus Milk Tea (4/5): This milk tea was great. Just note that it's served in a beautiful, smaller pottery, which is perfect for sharing up to two people

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.

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..

Very cute dessert shop! Lots of options and the staff was nice and helpful. They made sure I could order a vegan option. We ordered two desserts to-go and both were super refreshing with great texture. Not too sweet!! Which I appreciate👏

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!
