Very nice!The food was wonderful. Tasty and delicious. The udon was perfectly soft and chewy and the broth was salty but not too salty. Takoyaki was top tier. Smoky and sweet. Soft not soggy but creamy in the middle. Tempura was heavily breaded but crunchy. Don’t expect a lot of shrimp but that’s a tempura thing. It’s not like breaded shrimp you get in a Western-style restaurant. Never the less… really tasty.The mushroom skewers! Woah. Not greasy which is what I was a bit worried about. I normally eat very light and non-oily, but this was fine on my stomach. The sauce was rich and the mushroom was crispy so perfect balance. Also! Not spicy.Sour dough was not too sour and not overly buttered. The mushroom on top was VERY salty however the egg was mild and did not seem to be seasoned with much other than cracked pepper so it balanced well. The salad portion it came w ought to be slightly more.Those soufflé pancakes! Wonderful! Pls order this. Pricy, yes… maybe but the cream is not Reddi whip or cool whip. Fresh and sweet. Creamy but not sad and milky. The fruit on top= fresh. The pancakes are eggy so if u hate eggy cake don’t order but I loved it! It was delectably soft but not wet. Not notably syruped or sauced but this worked in the cake's favor in my opinion.Service-The server was perfectly attentive. I did not feel like I was overly watched which is nice. She was very polite and sweet. Food was served rather quickly and was perfectly warm… and a very pretty presentation.Atmosphere-Adorable. Beautiful. Yet not “too fancy” the music was light indie sounding trendy like stuff. Sometimes, not my favorite but not too disturbing.I really liked it! ?Instagram= _em316

Drinks were good. We had the pasta which was ok and the salmon. The salmon itself was good everything else on the plate wasn’t. The reason we had gone there the pancakes the beautiful pancakes. They were a disappointment, they tasted too eggy, it wasn’t edible. Maybe that’s how they’re supposed to taste but for us it wasn’t good.

The menu and the place looked very nice, so I decided to give it a try. I ordered a matcha latte and asked for almond milk to go. However, after I drank the latte, I realized it was made with whole milk instead of almond milk. If I hadn't been charged for almond milk, I might not have been as disappointed and not write a review. As someone who is lactose intolerant, it's only a matter of time before the aftereffects kick in. Additionally, as a barista myself, I'm able to tell the difference in milk, so this mistake was particularly disappointing.

Love their karrage chicken and soufflé. Perfect space and perfect food. One thing that need to be aware of is the portion of the food is not so big. But a great place for afternoon tea or just for reunion with friends that need a lot of chatting.

This place is so good! The Japanese soufflé pancakes are made with imported Japanese flour and are so delicious. The strawberry matcha was a highlight as well! My partner had the soufflé eggs benny with salmon and it was sooooo yummy. Over all 10/10 experience topped off with amazing service.

One of my favorite things to eat is pancakes and ice cream. And this place fits the bill if you're looking to fill that need for both items and then some. When I first came here, I was surprised because the menu is much more plentiful then I thought. Lots of different Japanese foods and some pretty creative items.I felt "meh" about the purple sweet potato/murasaki coffee. It looks pretty much the flavor was okay and the drink was luke warm. Not bad but not great. The karage and the beef bowl I got were good and filling, can't complain.The soufle pancakes are everything you would expect. Very fluffy, light, cute, does the job when blended with all the other flavors.The ambiance here is cute, bright, cozy with plenty of natural sunlight on a nice sunny day. Good for a brunch spot, work space and all that.Customer service was good, staff was friendly and helpful.Overall, if you're craving some soufle pancakes, with nice service, atmosphere and food that won't run your wallet to the grave, this is a good spot. Recommend it.

The food is good but the service is seriously under staff situation. We came in here for breakfast, ordered a main and soufflé at 930 After finishing the main, waited for another close to 20min and checked with the only servant. He said since we wanted after meal do the wait time is 30min after your meal…. I was shock cause shouldn’t logically you should have put in the order if it’s 30min wait time or you should have mentioned ??? So, if you don’t have 2 hours for a meal, you might reconsider coming here. Eventually we paid and walked out without the soufflé. Mentioned it to the lady owner the situation, seems pretty normal

Excellent quality food and service, especially Nina who took my additional request for my order over the phone so nicely. Strongly recommend their creme brulee pancakes, so delicious. Their cafe is average sized and very clean with pretty flowers in the front. Such a nice addition to the neighborhood. Try, and enjoy! ❤️
It's a soufflé pancake. The most delicious thing I've ever eaten. Delicious flavor, not too sweet. Very soft to the touch I really liked it. The soft serve was very delicious as well. The atmosphere in the shop is very cute. Suitable for coming with friends, with lovers, with family. I will definitely come back.❤️

This restaurant itself was super pretty and Music was nice but the food was just okay. Literally nothing special a solid 8/10 at best and pretty pricey too. But I really liked the Takoyaki. Would I come back again?

My boyfriend and I ordered the katsu sandwich and creme brulee souffle pancakes. Both were okay, and here's the "but...". The portions are extremely small, like tapas/appetizers portions!! For $16 each, I was hoping for larger portions but I can't say we left feeling full. The katsu sandwich was alright, mainly drenched in katsu sauce, which isn't bad but it does leave a mainly strong flavor of the sauce and not much else. It takes two bites to eat one piece of the sandwich, so it's not filling. Several minutes later, the souffle pancakes came out. It comes with ice cream - we got a half/half vanilla and ube ice cream soft serve. I did like the creme brulee inspired topping. But the ube ice cream didn't taste very flavorful, and gave the dish a dessert vibe instead of brunch. The kettle corn that came with the creme brulee pancakes was stale. The pancakes themselves tasted great but the other parts of the dish disappointed me slightly, especially for the price. The cafe itself is cute and would be nice to have a dessert moment or drinks in a cafe setting with friends.

I love Softbite so much. Known for their souffle pancakes, it's hard not to head straight for dessert when here. And let me tell you those pancakes are literally bites of heaven that have come down to this earth. Let's narrow in on the souffle pancake phenomenon. People, it is still a pretty trendy food item and for good reasons! Not only are they gorgeous to look at, they are so tasty. I have had them at several places throughout NYC and Softbite is by far my favorite. My last visit solidified this and here's why: Late last year, Softbite introduced the Souffle Cup. This dessert has crème brûlée custard, a Japanese Shu cream and a souffle pancake all neatly layered on top of each other. The pancake is dusted lightly with powdered sugar. I can't get over how light, airy, not too sweet and delicious this dessert was. I paired it with my other go to item here, the sparking Yuzu and I had the best time enjoying my two treats while working here. Yes, I said working. They have free WiFi and also they are a flower vendor. On the way out they had gorgeous flowers on display available for purchase. This place just makes my heart so happy. Come here and I'm sure it will put a smile on your face.
