    They have this promo but they ran out of promo cards?
    Deej Jo A.

    Been here a couple of times. But for this specific visit alone, my rating ain't perfect. I feel like they're understaffed or it was just a busy weekday night they didn't see coming, although this was the 2nd time it felt such. Therefore, the staff can't give 100% customer service, she looked tired and grumpy but trying to hold it. Also, they had a promo card and she didn't give them until I asked. They were running 2 promos and they ran out of the card for the other!

    I only ever get the soft serve matcha mix and it's never failed me! Absolutely love this place! Service is quick and efficient. The vibes are great!

    I've been to this place before but a different location. Typically I'll get their matcha swirl ice cream in a cone but this time, I decided to try one of their cakes. Overall, I am a huge fan of crepe cakes. But the FLAVOR of this tiramisu crepe cake was AMAAAZING. Not too sweet but this would pair well with a hot tea for sure!! Service was fast and the workers do their best to call out your number to get your order. They also have the big screen to order and pay if you don't feel social that day! The vibes were calm. Definitely a place that isn't too noisy. The only reason I'm knocking off a star is because I found the menu to be extremely expensive. It was $10 for a slice of the cake. Would I buy it again? Maybe if I was craving it.

    A cozy and modern spot for high quality desserts! The interiors are very clean, and there is a communal box of games. Almost everything on the menu is matcha flavored but very customizable. We got a parfait with the mixed swirl ice cream, which was very tasty. Almost too much going on with ice cream, cake, red bean, cereal flakes, mochi--in the future, will probably just get the ice cream with mochi topping. Efficient service, lots of indoor seating, connected to Akira ramen.

    We finally got to come here while we were waiting for our pup to get looked over at the vet. We were lucky to get a parking spot right by the front of the restaurant, but there is also a parking garage across the street. It was pretty empty on a Saturday afternoon at 2 pm. We ordered at the kiosk at the front as there really wasn't anyone at the register. We decided to get the matcha tiramisu, the soft serve swirl in a cup, and the peach oolong crepe cake. Everything came out relatively fast, about 5 minutes. The soft serve was our favorite. Just really good flavor and good texture. A perfect soft serve. The peach oolong cake was very very good. It had a subtle hint of oolong but the peach flavor was delicious. It wasn't quite as delicate at the crepe cake from Lady M, but I think the flavor was a little better here. The matcha tiramisu was fine. We didn't love it. It came with a small cup of matcha. I'm not sure if we were suppose to pour it in there? Or just sip it while eating the tiramisu, we did both. But it really didn't add anything. I wouldn't get that again. They do have free wifi and water you can go and fill up a cup yourself. Parking might be a little annoying since you have to park across the street if you don't manage to snag one of the 7 or so spots close by.

    I was in Towson for only four days, and somehow I found myself coming to Kyoto Matcha every single day. That says a lot about how quickly I fell in love with this place. This was hands down one of the most memorable dessert spots I've ever been to. The presentation is gorgeous, but more importantly--the taste is thoughtfully balanced, never too sweet, and full of traditional Japanese flavor. The Ube Mille Crepe Cake was light, creamy, and beautifully layered. It came with a piece of soft matcha sponge cake and a scoop of anko (sweet red bean paste)--everything on the plate just worked together. Subtle, elegant, and satisfying. I also tried the Matcha Parfait, layered with matcha + vanilla soft serve, mochi, anko, sponge cake, crispy cornflakes, and custard. So many textures in one dessert, and each spoonful was its own little surprise. Everything felt freshly made. The shop itself has a cozy, modern Japanese vibe. Super clean and aesthetically pleasing--definitely Instagram-worthy, but also genuinely delicious. I loved it so much I even started seriously considering franchising it myself. That's how good it is. If you're in Towson and even remotely curious about matcha or Japanese-style desserts, this is a must-visit. I'll be dreaming about this place long after I've left.

    I didn't know there was a Kyoto Matcha in Towson! There's been a lot of changes in the downtown circle area and glad to see more Asian options. Kyoto is chain and it's my first time trying it. I loved the soft serve the mix of milk and matcha was delightful. The toppings I could do without. I was really excited about the red bean but it was lackluster in flavor and the mochi was too wet. The soft serve is definitely the hero here. The interior was designed really cute with Pokémon murals. The staff was so patient. We walked in and it took us a while to order. The towel cake was more for novelty - it was like the Netflix show: is it cake. I thought there would be more to the cake but for me it was too creamy and the crepe layer was flavorless. Come for the soft serve, it's epic.

    Super cute place with lots of cool desserts and drinks. I like that they are open later and it's a nice hangout spot in Towson that isn't rowdy.

    Matcha mix soft-serve with matcha powder

    If you're a lover of matcha or new to the taste, then Kyoto Matcha has you covered for a quick matcha fix. Kyoto Matcha offers a variety of matcha items on their menu from soft-serve, matcha lattes, and lemonades to matcha crepe layer cakes and cheesecake. Located in Towson's center circle, Kyoto Matcha has a cute little vibe inside, or there is outside seating to enjoy the summer sun. They also make it pretty easy to order your treats by using their kiosk. My only issue is that it seems you aren't allowed to add toppings to your soft-serve ice cream in a cone versus in a cup. Which we kinda didn't understand since adding sprinkles to an ice cream cone is normal, but all in all, it was a tasty little treat.

    Came here for a quick and cool drink before a movie. Ordered the matcha latte, which was super good. The restaurant is also super nice- lots of seating and beautiful art. Reason why I'm giving 2 stars is for service. This wasn't for me, but another customer did not receive the right drink they ordered. Instead of making a new one and rectifying the mistake, they made the customer order a whole new drink and pay again. And the employee did not handle themselves as I would hope. 2 stars for the drink and place itself but must mark down for the service I saw.

    I highly recommend stopping by this place for the macha soft serve ice cream. It is much creamier and thicker than the usual soft serve ice cream. It is more similar to gelato than ice cream. Very nice macha tea flavor.

    Kyoto Matcha has some remarkable features that I have identified below: Vibes: The shop itself is cute and spacious. They are well organized and clean. It allows for a fun yet studious space. There are outlets throughout and they also have board games to play. The workers are always friendly and quick. Selection: Since it is a matcha place it encompasses mostly matcha dessert, however there are a few different options in terms of cakes and drinks to choose from. How the food is presented never disappoints. Taste: The boba cake on the left was really moist and didn't taste much like boba besides having the boba there. The Frappuccino is sweet yet also maintains the matcha flavor and I find that hard to do with desserts that are around matcha. Their servings are also fair for their prices. Some things I would like to note: - they only have street parking - if you enjoy rnb, their selection of music is beautiful

    11 bucks for a piece of cake in a plastic box? Tasted like something from Giant. Kind of a rip off to be honest

    Most, if not all food items have pictures on the menu. EVERYTHING we ordered was good! Serving size…read morewas acceptable for the price. ST5 - Thai chicken with rice as kid's meal and is more than enough; not spicy Curry Mac and Crispy Eggplant - Part of the summer menu appetizers and were both delish of course; yellow sauce is spicy but on the milder side Drunken noodle tasted great Caramel chicken, even if a little sweet, was great too! Finished the garnishes and every bit of veggies that it too me the whole drive home to remove the spices stuck in between my teeth. LOL. Complimentary water but they have milk tea too, plus new drinks - mocktails! Parking enough even on peak hours. Would reserve for larger group.

    Got this as take out. Food took a reasonable time to be ready. However…read more.. Panang curry with chicken 2/10: At first sight, the curry is very oily. Like too much oil. The curry itself is very diluted like water. The consistency really threw me off. It's very much like a soup... Mixing it with the rice helped a bit but you could tell something was off. It doesn't have a ton of flavor. The chicken honestly was a little dry. There were a lot of veggies. I think the portion was good but that's about it. My boyfriend typically saves half his food for the next day but he threw this one out. Spring rolls 8/10: If you have to get something from this place, let it be this! The yellow sauce is liquid gold. I really enjoyed the red sauce that came with it too. Very crunchy & crispy appetizer! Drunken noodles w/ beef 6/10: I feel like you could find better drunken noodles somewhere else. The beef wasn't all that. It was too chewy. The noodles themselves were cooked properly. The whole dish just didn't hit the spot like it should have. I chose normal for the spice level and was satisfied with that choice.

    Drove by this place looking for a cafe close, went to my Yelp for review help…read more The reviews were mixed but it seemed popular. There isnt available parking near. I went in and was met with soothing holiday music and friendly staff. I ordered the Seasonal Scramble with the help of the staff I was settled not to get the asian pears on my scramble but on the side. The seasonal scramble comes with home fries and multi grain toast. The eggs are made with goat cheese and some other ingredients. The goat cheese was not a hit with this. The home fries were cold. I also ordered their popular cinnamon toast latte. I was not a true fan as the coffee used is quite strong ang bitter. I ordered to go and to my suprise I see that this is an Atlas Restaurant Group establishment. Because these folks were nice, I may come back and try something else because this $18 meal was not tasty. It gave me a queasy stomach smelling and eating the eggs with the goat cheese.

    I came with a small group for breakfast and we had no trouble finding seating, even on a weekend…read more There is both indoor and outdoor seating, as well as a self-serve water station inside. Food is brought out to tables, which was really nice. I ordered the seasonal scramble and a banana bread latte, both of which were really good. Everyone else in my group loved their food and drinks as well.
