ChikaLicious Dessert Bar

The Honey Parfait in Concord Grape soup, yummm!! Simply divine composition, as was my granny smith sorbet with brown sugar panna cotta ""amuse"". Read of ChikaLicious in an Isreali magazine. So thrilled of our decision to have included it on our top ten to do in Manhattan. Pros: Visual plating, efficient, gracefullness Cons: only one in city more

They charged us $19.00 for prefix WITH NO DRINKS (They charged for the drinks separately). It might have been their mistake but still, they shouldn't make such mistake since their place is really tiny and take care of only small number of people at one time with just 3 deserts. People there were friendly to their friends but not new customers. Maybe their idea is interesting and something special, I can live without it. I really don't understand how this place gets these ""recommended"" reviews, either. I agree with someone saying, it seems like fake. Never, ever, will go back there again! more

What a wonderfully unique dessert experience. Creative flavors combinations, and MOMA presentations were alone, worth the trip. Look forward to returning with friends soon. Pros: taste, service, atmoshere more

Moma or ChikaLicious? Chose to do BOTH! Okay,...tastes great, exquisite presentation, beautiful plates etc...but that's only half the reward. The live creation of the three course meal is what makes this dessert bar my ""go to"" spot in Manhattan. Though many choices for wonderful desserts in this city, I find ChikaLicious to be easier on the wallet and vastly more entertaining. Pros: price more

ChikaLicious is arguably the most special eatery in NYC. Such care and detail given to everything from the presentation of desserts to the warm greeting at the door. Intricate juxtapositions on flavors are carefully conceived and well executed making it a must for all visiting friends. Truly wonderful. Pros: reasonbly priced, theater, service more

Wow!!! Super time had by ALL! Sit at the counter and watch the chefs whip up your selection before your very eyes. My party was six, but only four could be accomodated , the other two got the table behind us. What absolutely ming-blowing dessert combinations...delicious all!! Will go often, but earlier in the evening to avoid the crowds. Pros: busy, funnnnn, daily menu change Cons: busy, small more

Pre-fix menu for $ 12.00, you will have nothing. It's come with two really small dessert and a entree which also small dessert. This is the smallest dessert and the most expensive dessert have I ever had. Don't worth your money for crazy dessert. It's feel nothing for me, even my kids will feel nothing. You might have to eat at least 4 portion of pre-fix menu, so you will feel a little bit full. Pros: Clean Cons: Expensive, Tiny dish, Taste nothing more

I just don't understand how this place gets these ""recommended"" reveiws. It seems like fake. The idea is good, but the sevice was too slow and portion was extremely small. You can put whole 3 course in your mouth and still eat another spoonful of ice cream. Before I even taste the dessert, it was gone. I think $12.00 is for their many dishes and soap to keep them white. After leaving there, I and my friends has to go to Starbucks for the second round. Pros: CLEAN Cons: TINY PORTION, EXPENSIVE, EXPENSIVE more

at first i thought that the prix fix $12 will get you a sample of each of the dessert on the menu list...but unfortunately you only get one...you do however, get a 3 course dessert meal...but the portions are SUPER TINY! the presentation and the taste is superb and original...but don't expect a grand dessert meal...the best thing about this place is the people! the chefs and owners are there full time and they prepare the dessert in front of you while engaging you in small fun talks...they make you feel really special and they really show interest to all their customers...at first i was kinda disappointed by the SUPER TINY size of the meal but after chatting for a while with the owners and chefs, they make me feel that the visit was worth it and i remember saying to them that i will definitely come back. more

I've been to ChikaLicious twice and LOVE it! Just wish the space is bigger to accomodate more of Chika's fans! I always order the prix fixe with wine pairing, every dessert I've tried are incredible and full of surprises. Definitely a good place for date (even though you'll sit shoulder to shoulder to the guest at the next table, you won't notice because all your attention will be devoted to the dessert, and hopefully your date!) Chika reminds me how good Japanese desserts are! Too bad I can't find Meiji yogurt anywhere in the States. Pros: Delicious, Inventive, Charming Cons: Too small, Long wait more
