Tried to come here a few times and the line was long. Finally came on Wednesday 9pm and there was no line! Parking was easy since it was late already, but I imagine it's tough finding street parking during the daytime. It's super cute inside and it's actually a lot bigger than it looks from the outside. The back has a row of tables! Now to the food. Everything was amazing! We ordered mango sticky rice bingsoo, honey brick toast, and Oreo croffle. The bingsoo was super light and fluffy. Pro tip, you don't need any add ons. We got a scoop of ice cream and we barely ate it. The brick toast was great dipped in the bingsoo to soften up the toast but it remains crunchy. Without it, it's a bit dry, even with the ice cream. The Oreo croffle was really good as well. Just the right amount of Oreo and not too sweet. Would definitely come back again!

Always a solid place to go for desserts. And they also have very delicious food such as ramen,chicken wings, fries, etc. We ordered a Thai tea bingsu and it just hit the spot. This place is always busy so just be prepared to wait but usually the line goes quick.

Took my parents here for dessert since my mom likes bingsoo. Even though the menu didn't have anything we were particularly craving that night, the desserts were still pretty good. The place itself is pretty small so there can be a pretty long wait, especially if you are in a large group. We got the ube bingsoo which was 8/10, and the matcha cheesecake with ice cream which was 9/10. Biscoff cookie and ube is such a good combination. I also appreciate that they put the condensed milk on the side. I couldn't taste that much of the ube flavor though. Matcha cheesecake was super rich but really good in small bites with the ice cream.

Absolutely love it here!! Went 3x on my last trip here. Love their wide heavily asian influence desserts and drinks. Lovely environment. Delicious desserts and treats!

Haven't been to Berkeley in a while and I was craving a sweet treat so here I am. We ordered the soft bread with pandan fondue and the cake sampler. Like its name suggests, the bread is so soft and fluffy. It goes really well with the pandan fondue which is warm and creamy. The cake sampler was interesting. The cakes featured from left to right is a double fromage honey yuzu cheesecake, double fromage lychee cheesecake, and uji matcha basque burnt cheesecake. All of the cakes were pretty good. Can't really go wrong with any of them. The service here was decent. Our waitress was really nice. To order, you scan a QR code on the table and they bring the food to your table. The decor of the restaurant was bright and pretty. Regarding parking here, the parking situation here in Berkeley is usually pretty rough. Luckily we were able to find street parking. Definitely recommend checking this dessert spot out if you haven't already. Try it out if you like. :)

Been having random cravings for shaved ice and decided to come here spur of the moment on a Sunday afternoon (though it felt very late so basically I came here for dinner). And for "dinner" I had the seasonal Ube Bingsoo. After this I've decided that: 1) I like ube 2) I like bingsoo 3) $22 for a bowl of frozen shaved ice seems like it's expensive (see prior reviews about being middle aged and no longer having a concept of money and how much things cost) 4) It seems great to share with your date .... but my husband confirmed for me that he would not share this with his man friends. They'd each get their own. I don't think I would come here every weekend, but if I had friends in town visiting or maybe a teenager visiting - this is where I'd bring them.

We visited U Dessert Story last Thursday while in town for a concert, and overall, it was a great experience! The interior decorations were lovely, especially the color scheme and the hanging greenery, which really set a cozy vibe. Despite a few other customers being in the store, it wasn't overly loud, which was nice. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We loved the unique ordering system with QR codes on each table, allowing us to place orders from our phones and add them to a tab. Pretty neat! Here's a breakdown of what we tried: Mango Sticky Rice Bingsu - 4.5/5 A bit pricier than other bingsu places we've been to, but the portion size was generous. It came with condensed milk, mango puree, and sticky rice on the side. The mango was fresh, and I loved that it wasn't overly sweet. The only downside for me was the nut crumbles on top, which I didn't care for, but that's just personal preference. Overall, it was delicious. Thai Tea Crepe Cake - 4/5 Much bigger than I expected! The cake itself was light and decadent, and I appreciated that it wasn't too sweet either. I didn't really taste the Thai tea flavor in the whipped cream or crepes. The Thai tea sauce that came with it, though, had a strong, creamy flavor. For me, it was a bit too intense, but I think thai tea lovers would really enjoy it! Blue Lychee - 4/5 I wasn't expecting the lychee popping boba (I'm not a fan of popping boba), so there was a bit too much for my taste, but that's on me. The drink itself had a nice lychee-lemonade flavor, which was refreshing.

We were so full from dinner so we only got two desserts The Thai tea 18 layer crepe cake and Thai tea lava toast was anaaaazinnnng!!! Crepe cake was so rich and creamy and the toast was so toasted to perfection with the right amount of sweetness. I really love the Thai tea flavors here including the ice cream! Ive had a lot of Thai tea everything but nothing compares to this place! We went on a Saturday late evening, an hour prior to closing and it was packed but we were seated immediately. Service is quick and staff are friendly. There is a QR menu at the table- easy to order. Street parking. We were losing their Christmas decor and Christmas playlist- very festive. Can't wait to come back again and again!

Another one for the memories. Tonight we ordered the Volcano bingsoo and the Honey Brick Toast! I had a huge sweet tooth for the Volcano Bingsoo with an added scoop of ice cream was so delicious. We were seated quickly at around 5pm and our server checked up on us often and was quick to refill our waters throughout the dinner/dessert. Volcano Bingsoo- If you love chocolate. THIS IS FOR YOU! There is brownie brittle on top with a layer of whipped cream which pairs nicely together with the shredded bingsoo. My favorite surprise was the cornflakes on the bottom of the bingsoo which added that extra crunch because we ate the brittle so fast.

When I visited U Dessert Story it was a delightful experience! Their unique and tasty desserts really set them apart--everything I tried was creative and bursting with flavor. The service was nice and attentive, which made our time there even more enjoyable. The atmosphere was lively and packed, adding to the excitement of the place. It's definitely a popular spot, so be prepared for a bit of a crowd. Overall, U Dessert Story is a must-visit for anyone with a sweet tooth!
