No cash, all kiosk ordering. No easy way to opt out of tipping. Needed to input name and phone number to finish order and be notified when ready—NEITHER of which was used.
Receipt number was audibly called out which I didn’t expect. Sat in the dining area waiting while my soft-serve was melting on the corner. Why set up the system like this? Very upsetting

I was craving black sesame ice cream, so I got the soft serve. But I think a few years ago there was a different place that did not make mochi. I remember their black sesame ice cream as having a real taste of black sesame. The one I got today seemed to be overpowered by the taste of the brown sugar syrup they supposedly use. So although service was prompt and the ice cream was cold, it didn't satisfy my black sesame hankering. Too bad. Also, there was a layer of mochi on top, and it was extremely challenging to cut, since it becomes a single glutinous piece. It tasted good, but I think it would be easier to eat chunks of mochi.
Parking: It's a crowded strip mall, so even though there's lots of parking, there are lots of people looking for spots.

Hojicha soft serve ice cream had a strong roasted tea flavor. Good for those who prefer their tea with full taste vs those who prefer their tea with milk. The mango Matcha tea was good with the mango more on the tart side. A bit pricey. Long wait especially on a Saturday.

This place took over the old Matcha Love (which was bomb btw) inside Mitsuwa Japanese Market. We ordered the matcha mont blanc soft serve and hojicha soft serve.
The matcha mont blanc (the noodly looking part) is room temperature and had a red bean filling texture and flavor with a hint of matcha. The texture is smooth and soft which kind of plays with your mind if you think it's cold or think it would be ice cream-like. The ice cream flavor itself was quite off. It had no matcha flavor to it whatsoever. It had notes of coffee-like flavor. It was a very different and confusing flavor that I couldn't hone in on, but it was nothing I've tasted before especially for it being matcha flavored.
The hochija was roasted alright. You can for sure taste the roastedness of the flavor, but it tasted like a combo of coffee and chocolate. Or another flavor that crossed my mind was a roasted tootsie roll lol. My friend said it tasted like a type of roasted bean.
We all had the same verdict, neither my friends nor myself enjoyed the flavors of this establishment. The pictures on the menu and kiosk were deceiving, the sizes of the cups were smaller in person.
Bottom line: 1 star for creaminess, overpriced for the size, flavors are confusing.

LET DOWN! don’t know what happened here within the last year but i’ve been back and forth to this location and things are not how they use to be. changed from white bean to red bean paste ICK! the whole crepe menu has changed? your regular customers will not be returning surely with all these major changes. Worst of all it seems the whole team/management is constantly being torn down. Maybe start evaluating these employees?? what does it even take to work here. Clearly not much if your own manager has an attitude problem and zero understanding of customer service. Asked to speak to a manager and was greeted with a ‘??’ this place had potential but it’s being ran by total losers

You can tell poor quality of ingredients and too sweet. Didn’t even finish my matcha soft serve. Adding one star as service great

There was a long line when I went and it baffles me that people don’t know how to use a kiosk. I got the blueberry and mango matcha, it was very good! The orange mochi was okay… it was a dry clementine and I was not aware there would be red bean as the display did not have red bean in it. I’m not a huge fan of red bean. We also cut it in the wrong direction, so it doesn’t look appetizing, but it wasn’t too bad! I would give the mochi another try, just not the orange one. Lost 1 star because of the red bean.

Dear Mochi-ya, Everyone talked so much about you. You had so much hype. I had such high hopes for your fruit mochi, and had been waiting to try this for so long, but it was a COMPLETE let down. ?☹️ Talk about a HUGE disappointment… the first bite was the saddest because we discovered there was red bean paste in between the fruit and mochi layer. Normally all of the separate parts would be good, but the red bean completely masks the refreshing taste of the fruit and throws off the balance of the entire bite. I really hope that they don’t always serve fruit mochi with red bean, because it really ruins the taste. Mochi-ya, I wanted to love you, but you really sprung that red bean on me. I feel like I got catfished.
Readers, be warned — the fruit mochi is not as life changing and delicious as you would think, especially if the red bean paste is there. It just is not it.

Highly recommend the Black sesame kuromitsu mochi soft serve. The kuromitsu (brown sugar syrup) makes the black sesame flavor really pop!
Match float latte. Half cup ice cube inside

I like the matcha place that was here before. It's not worth getting matcha here anymore.
Incredible slow. Flavor is not worth the long wait. Make the food taste better, hire more people and not let the customer wait too long.
