"One of the most memorable bakery visits I’ve had in NYC! I tried four of their cakes and each one was a work of art in both flavor and presentation. My absolute favorite was the Black Sesame Passion Fruit. The mousse was perfectly nutty, the caramel balanced, and the sesame crunch gave the best texture contrast. The Ube Blackberry was a dream for ube lovers, layered textures with fragrant ube caramel and a subtle citrus note. The Blackout Noir is a chocolate lover’s fantasy, deep Valrhona chocolate, silky ganache, and coffee caramel that’s rich and indulgent. The Mont Blanc Chestnut Mille Crêpes was delicate, creamy, and lightly sweet with a very refined chestnut flavor. Also tried their Pandan Latte, which was aromatic and unique, a cozy companion to the desserts. Everything here feels thoughtfully created, from flavor pairings to textures. This place is definitely a hidden gem for elevated, modern pastries and I’ll absolutely be coming back for more!"

"Lady Wong's desserts are fantastic! We love their Calamansi Passionfruit cake and ordered it for our wedding. They answered all our questions quickly over email and it was delivered without any issues. (Photos by Maddi Waldo)"

"Hit or miss depending on the dessert you get. I got 3 desserts: black sesame passionfruit, matcha tart and talam pandan. Didn’t really taste the black sesame, the passionfruit overpowered the dessert. Matcha tart was okay. The best one was the talam pandan, that actually tasted like the ones I used to eat as a kid. I’d still come back and try their other desserts."

"We got 4 things (black sesame, strawberry guava, ube nian gao, hazelnut crêpe cake), and everything had 9-10 flavor, texture, and design 😍—wish we’d tried more! All were nicely sweet and not cloying. It’s a very small shop but pretty and clean, with good service. There is seating. They tape the card to the bottom of the box so your goods don’t get messed up. 👍 The only sad thing is that they might not have your favorite pastry since the display always changes and sells out quickly. Strawberry guava was light and airy as a cloud and melts in your mouth. The balance between the savoriness of the sesame and tartness of the passionfruit is lovely. Prob the most unique thing on the menu for those unfamiliar with Asian flavors. I do think there could be more passionfruit to sesame. Hazelnut crêpe cake is soft, milky and easy to eat with a utensil unlike other mille-feuilles. I didn’t get that much praline flavor, however. Ube nian gao was my favorite. The inside is so so chewy and contrasts with the crust which reminded me of cereal."

"Lady Wong is a flop! I’m disappointed by all the great reviews especially because most are from Asians. The black sesame passion fruit is pretty sweet and not as described at all. It’s suppose to be a black sesame moose but the consistency is definitely not a mouse and also has very little black sesame flavor. The best part was the passion fruit but there’s very little of it. I also got a pineapple cake was a bigger disappointment especially at $9 for 2. There was more breading than anything and the pineapple portion is definitely not 100% pineapple. The flavor is very off! I’ve had some of the best pineapple cakes in Taiwan. I wouldn’t waste calories eating any desserts from Lady Wong!"
