The 17 Best Asian Dessert Spots In NYC

"We never leave Lady Wong in the East Village without ordering a piece of steamed rainbow kuih, a chewy, bouncy treat that’ll leave your fingers slightly sticky with coconut flavor. And that’s just the dessert we eat in three bites inside the store. The Southeast Asian patisserie also has some elaborate tarts, swiss rolls, and layered crepe cakes. It’s a pocket-sized space with just a couple of bar stools, so plan on taking your pastries to go. They also have an outpost in the Urban Hawker food hall." - molly fitzpatrick, bryan kim, will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja
