It was much thicker than the soft serve in Japan, but it was still very good; probably the best I've had in the states

Matcha En — desserts in Chinatown. Order the Matcha Ice Cream. Plating that reflects real attention to detail. Aminaa B: "The taiyaki was perfectly cooked and the ice cream was well portioned and flavorful" [$]

The place was PACKED when I visited on a Saturday afternoon. They had so many options to choose from… floats, teas, soft serve, etc! I got the matcha swirl parfait and it came with matcha cake bites, red bean, corn flakes, and it was soo yummy! They ran out of mochi balls so they gave me rainbow sprinkles instead. I would highly recommend and definitely go back again if I was ever in the area!

Came here late Friday night to have a dessert after dinner. It was already 10:30pm, closing is 11. I quickly made my order for ube soft serve ice cream. It was delicious! There is a distinct ube flavor though not strong. I love the level of sweetness. I appreciated that they didn’t ask us to leave. When they started to clean other tables we took that as the cue to head out ;) and respectfully did.

I love this place cuz it has everything I love for dessert: matcha, soft serve, and egg waffle. I found that they are test running an egg waffle combines with soft serve and some toppings. I got matcha egg waffle with ube-hojicha ice cream. My husband got original egg waffle with matcha ice cream. For toppings, they both came with a cute stick of mochi. I got 2 choco sticks and matcha sticks for my husband. As a fan of egg waffle, I'd definitely have another visit! I hope they will permanently have the egg waffle in the menu. Love the vibe, the atmosphere, and the staff friendliness. Not surprised this place is always packed with customers! 2nd visit, I tried the matcha parfait. I really enjoyed everything in the cup: the matcha ice cream, red beans, corn flakes, and 2 mochis. Would never get tired of visiting!

Ive been here several times over the years and have had great customer service and a great experience overall. Whenever i pick up my order they smile and i thank them, which is basic courtesy btw. Obviously if you see the workers overwhelmed with orders or busy you should expect to wait a bit as chinatown gets alot of foot traffic during the warmer months. I have never waited more than 20 minutes for my order and its weird to perpetuate that the workers make you wait on purpose when its so clearly busy at times. Anyway the matcha ice cream float is delicious and definitely a staple. The souffle waffles are a new addition and are very good, esp the oreo one! They have a clean bathroom and a good wifi connection. Have some patience and grace with the employees!
