Everything from delicious rotating soy soft serve flavs to the seasonal menu & wonderful staff make K-fu the ultimate date spot or simply your above-avg. stop-in-for-dessert-on-your-way-home dream!
Chad BMay 1, 2013Great place to go for if you're looking to have a vegan or gluten free dessert. Try their green tea creme brûlée.
Donna McMarch 3, 2013Tourist tip: Although this is known as a dessert bar, try the savory dishes. The soba noodles are flavorful, filling, and vegan!
Wen DixieFebruary 25, 2013Started off with Dessert Tasting for Two then Braised Pork Belly for dinner. Happy Hour Drinks 2 for 1. Umami Martini was okay. Pomegranate Mojito was delicious
Serious EatsMarch 12, 2013This charming Japanese restaurant is best for dessert, both their sweet tofu and nutty soymilk soft serve.
Shayna MacklinJune 3, 2012The trio of desserts were so unique and delicious! They also have a small but very nice selection of tea. I highly suggest the lavender tea.
SusanJuly 12, 2012Pre fixe! And don't forget to check in and tweet a pic - the take home cupcake is delicious and makes for a great breakfast the next morning!
New York HabitatNovember 15, 2011Soy based Japanese desserts here and deserving of all their praise. We recommend the black sesame tofu or the green tea crème brulee.
The Corcoran GroupApril 27, 2010A variety of delicious and clever on-dairy desserts including house made sorbets, soymilk soft serve that makes the perfect sundae, and many tofu-based treats. Vegan treats are also available online.
I always stop by to pick up some treats. I also bring visitors here, cutest little place with the yummiest dessert and food. Tofu is to die for.
Alison LinNovember 20, 2011Try the ginger creme brûlée with apple sorbet! Also those with nut allergies beware - almond flour is used a lot in the baked goods
Minda AAugust 18, 2012Great new Japanese dessert spot with awesome brunch too! Baked eggs and French toast were crazy yummy!!
Awesome new Summer cocktail menu. Try the tequila & blood orange Pamela-san or Spicy Bloody Samurai.
Samuel ChauOctober 24, 2012The green tea creme brûlée is MUST HAVE! pair it with roasted green tea and it's delicious!- Spring Anmitsu with strawberry & lychee agar, yude azuki red bean, shiratama, and coconut-lime sorbet (vegan)
ChenyuJanuary 8, 2013Try the Black Sesame Sweet Tofu - I'd come back just for the sesame sweet tofu, not other dishes.
Alastair TseMarch 18, 2012Come here for the 5 piece dessert omakase. You won't be disappointed if you're a matcha or chocolate fan.
J ZFebruary 2, 2013Check if there's offer for Yelp check-in. I got a free cupcake to take home! Delicious too!
Talia GoldbergMay 13, 2012Skip dinner and go straight to dessert! Creative, delicious Japanese desserts and soft serve
Serena WOctober 18, 2012The Matcha Green Tea Nama Chocolate is the most unique Green Tea/Chocolate treat I've ever had.
Joshua HaskinsJune 4, 2012Wanted to love this place but sign up front says 3.25 souffle apparently it's 4 extra bucks to sit and eat it. Plus getting any attention from the staff is like trying to signal a passing aircraft.
I'm obsessed with their green tea cupcake. It's so moist and crusty!
Lauren BenetDecember 17, 2010one of the few times inventive and delicious go happily in-hand. fantastic dessert spot with cozy back room.
Try the Kyotofu Signature Cupcake - Excellent cupcake. Very chocolatey.
Unlocked the special and got a free delicious cupcake, this place is the bomb!
Qimei LuoMarch 13, 2011Really like their everything, and i can order them from seamless.com for delivery.lol, but they closed on Mondays if i still remember
Gilt CityMarch 29, 2011Kyotofu is the ultimate date night destination: a whimsical dessert bar in Hell's Kitchen that also boasts an incredible roster of savory dishes.
LizaMarch 6, 2011The vegan chocolate cake made me want to turn vegan. Have it with the chocolate martini :)
Alex PerezNovember 8, 2010Desserts are ridiculously good here. Great selection of teas too. Highly recommend checking this place out.
- Try the Hazelnut Dark Chocolate Soft Serve Sundae With Mochi, Fruit Conpote And Caramel Sauce
Dennis LiuApril 11, 2010Soy Tofu is good. White cake (With bananas) is sweet, best paired with the ice cream it comes with. Avoid if you want a less sweet dessert.
I recommend the cha soba noodle bowl. The perfect comfort food. Finish off w the sweet tofu.
The Nouveau Classical ProjectApril 30, 2012Get this dessert thing made of sorbet, gelatin, and red beans. YUM- Simran JaisingJanuary 28, 2013intimate birthday celebrations. romantic. artistic, asian flavors-inspired desserts
StonehengeNYCDecember 14, 2011Super cool Japanese desserts. Black sesame sweet tofu? Yes please! Read more- 50% off all Sake on Sundays from 5pm-midnight. Great deal!
Trisha WinataJuly 25, 2010They're great for deserts but if you had to pick an entree.. Get the tofu chicken burger! :)
Christina RaApril 5, 2010Everything is awesome... Desserts are divine. Carry out is a good option -- it gets CROWDED!
Kwame Taylor-HayfordJanuary 29, 2011water refills are few and far between... drink slowly. sliders are the bomb.
