Been here a couple of times, gotta say the soft serve with their white bean matcha is SOOO delicious that it’s not too sweet from the soft serve but from the sweetness of the white bean matcha!
Black sesame shake is alright! Definitely taste like black sesame for sure, but feels a bit too sweet for my taste! Would have stick to matcha though.

taste is very good but kinda pricey... however if ya got money to spend... Do it.

I’m so happy I did not listen to the other reviews. I used to like Matcha Love so when I heard they got replaced by Mochi-ya Ren I was surprised. Everything we got was delicious. Matcha is strong for those who like subtle flavors. If you want a more subtle but still Matcha flavored drink get the strawberry matcha which was delicious! I got oat milk and it was really tasty for those who are lactose intolerant.
Soft serve was rich in matcha flavor and the drinks were also! We got the Matcha montblanc and it was really tasty, it was a parfait and had jellies and mochi in it.
Vanilla mango was alright but it’s nice to mix the flavors if you think the matcha is too strong!

The strawberry mochi is way smaller than the display. The strawberry itself was bitter, sour, and with an acidic taste. So underwhelming and disappointed . For THAT price I deserve a fresh strawberry. Never again

I tried the matcha crepe here. Why on earth, a crepe would be folded like a cone ice-cream?! I cannot finish the ice-cream and then bite the crepe, that's not how someone eat crepe! And they don't have any plate or anything. The soft crepe was served just wrapped in a paper, seriously! The taste of the crepe and ice cream was okay but the weird presentation completely ruined my mood of eating. I asked for a plate and they gave me a small plastic box (probably suitable for serving mochi) and said that they would give me the same box if I ordered to-go in a way portraited on the counter. I don't know I should have laughed or cried. How can this giant crepe possibly fit inside the small box! Never going to the place again. I wish I could just throw the food onto their face and give 0 star.

WE LOVED IT :D the soft served matcha and the black sesame tasted strong but not too sweet which we prefer. Not sure why the negative reviews are on the soft serve because we loved it
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.
