    Parfait
    Megan K.

    One of my favorite soft serve spots in the city! The soft serve ice cream is the perfect texture, as it is very creamy and compliments the matcha flavor extremely well. It is not too overpowering whatsoever. The matcha parfait comes with an array of toppings with mochi and green tea cake, the perfect assortment to add on to the ice cream as they compliment each other. Service is good at the lakeview location and the workers are quite friendly.

    Cute place. Has WiFi and the Ube soft serve was DELICIOUS. Got a Taiyaki Fish Cone with Ube soft serve and I would get it again. Nice staff and they let me try the ice cream before ordering.

    Love the Matcha En in Chinatown so was so excited when they opened one in Lakeview! This one is much less crowded than the Chinatown one but thankfully has the same great flavor and actually much more spacious seating. Everyone was super friendly and welcoming and the Matcha Parfait we had was a work of art - we got the Matcha/Vanilla combo which was the perfect level of matcha flavor, and the ingredients of the parfait, especially unexpectedly the cereal, paired perfectly with the creamy ice cream. Would highly recommend - they have so many options for desserts you're sure to find something for everyone!

    Great service, amazing matcha ice cream -- huge serving and excellent consistency. We tried the ube/hojicha swirl and recommend.

    Cora was the best ever ... she was friendly, efficient, sweet, easy-going, and very kind. She's also very hard-working. Indoor seating is plenty. The desserts are buy one get one half off at night. But only on the right side of one side of the menu which is mostly the cakes and soufflé. The other side is all drinks and bubble tea. And the other side on the left side of the menu has ice cream and soft serve. I found the menu to be really efficient because it's not only big enough and beautiful and semi waterproof so you can clean it easily, but it was very clear from the pictures what you were getting and the pictures were really pretty and the colors were very bright. There's also an online menu that will give you more description of the items, but the paper menu that is laminated kind of is really aesthetically pleasing. It was a great experience having dessert here and the flavors were really good. I would say that the Matcha layered cake was not good because it didn't have much flavor. but the tiramisu layered cake was better because it was more moist and had more cream.

    This is our first time at Matcha En and I think it was pretty nice. I think it opened right at the beginning the new year and I had like a Taiyaki fish cone like a waffle cone. It was really delicious with Pocky cookies and some Gummies with it as well, it was a little bit melty so I had to eat it fast! The Ube was really, really tasty.. And then sticking to the same theme, I had the Ube Boba tea which was equal equally as delicious and tasty as well. I'll definitely be back to this place. My wife had Thai iced tea and she said she liked it a lot too. Service was fast and friendly, singing while they worked. The decor was modern and cozy and they had an easy point of sale system. Definitely give it a try!

    Chocolate Cheesecake

    This place is very cute and the staff was very friendly. We had a chocolate cheesecake which was very rich and creamy. Soo good. A Ube cream suffle which was perfect and a must try if you like ube. To finish it off I ordered a ube swirl tea which was just perfect. They let you choose the sweetness level (0% / 25% / 50% / 75% / 100%). I got 25% which was just the right amount of sweetness. I'll definitely come back an try some more. The menu is pretty big.

    Matcha Cheese Mousse Cake

    Loved the matcha cake! It was rich and creamy. Perfect to share with someone. Quick service and students get a discount.

    Good, clean matcha flavor in my iced matcha "americano" (essentially matcha powder mixed with ice water). Lots of space for seating and a HUGE dessert menu. Will be back with the kiddos to try the matcha / hojicha / Ube soft serve, crepe cakes and mochi ice cream. Love the concept of matcha drinks / dessert shop. And any place serving hojicha flavored ice cream is a win in my book!

    Wanted something tasty for dessert and came upon this place from IG…read more I ordered the cream soufflé and the matcha float. Both came out in pretty quick time even though it was a busy Saturday evening. Loved the cream soufflé! It was something different that I wanted to try and it wasn't too sweet which was amazing. The soufflé was so fluffy and hot and fresh. The cream inside was sooo good! Everything was well balanced together and the float was also great. Only downside is that it's a really small place. So inside felt very cramped and crowded.

    Kari's Rating 8.5/10…read more TLDR: -Any combination you want is possible -Single bathroom for patrons with Dyson dryer -appreciative of the different drink combinations They had considering I thought it was only Matcha milk tea Came as the first people on a Saturday, although we took 25 minutes to decide what we wanted, the cashier was really good at giving recommendations and she said we were able to do almost any combination mixing match of flavors. We ended up getting the Matcha smoothie with red beans on the bottom, as well as a matcha float with Ube soft serve. My friend got the Matcha smoothie and said the Matcha was a tad bitter, but also a little too much he said that the Matcha and the ice wasn't really well mixed. Therefore it tasted a bit icy, but he agrees the overall flavor was all right, but he probably wouldn't get that if we came back. On the other hand, my Ube and Matcha float was absolutely delicious. I knew I wanted the Ube soft serve over the Matcha soft serve because I'm very picky with my Matcha, but I also didn't want to get Matcha tea as well as the Matcha soft serve as I figured that would be a little bit too much. I would literally come back just for the Uber officer, it was perfectly sweet, but not overly sweet and the texture was extremely creamy and soft, perfect for a hot day. I'll definitely be coming back just to get that and I also appreciate the server, giving us her favorite combinations and suggestions. It was extremely crowded by the time we left the place literally opened at 11:30, so you know the restaurant has a good reputation already in the community! We will definitely come back!

    I recently tried UFOUU, the Chicago-based bakery known for their Japanese-style cheesecakes, and…read moreoverall it was a really a hit for me. I wish I was able to travel with one of their cheesecakes but they require refrigeration. Anyhow the cheesecake itself was delicious super light, fluffy, and honestly felt like biting into a cloud. I had the salted egg but they had several flavor options that I would've loved to try if slices were available. The texture is what really stands out, and the flavor was unique and interesting in a good way. I couldn't quite put my finger on what it taste like, but it was sweet, but not too sweet They only sale but I consider a personal size but it's definitely enough to share with two people, maybe even three depending on how much of a sweet tooth you have. My only downside like others is the price. Paying around $19-$20 for a small cheesecake felt a bit steep, especially since they don't offer slices. I really wish they had smaller portions available so you could try different flavors without committing to a full cake prize. They package it very well and they also serve you a cute little fork set and a knife for cutting which I think is contributes to the price. The shop itself is very cute with chic décor and a lot of Asian-inspired artwork, which adds to the overall vibe. Customer service was friendly. When I visit Chicago again I'd definitely go back the texture and taste alone make it worth it but I do hope they consider offering smaller portions in the future.

We got here when it just was opening. The place was clean and the staff was really nice. We got the sweet roasted milk and it was very good and unique flavor. We were watching them while they were making that and the cheesecake and you can tell they put a lot of care and in time to their products.

    We came to Mabu Generation on a Sunday evening when the restaurant was not busy and was actually…read moreunusually quiet. One thing I personally did not like was that they require customers to pay first before the food comes out. For a sit-down restaurant, I prefer to eat first and pay after, especially when service is expected. The service was not very proactive during our visit. The food was okay, but nothing really stood out to me. For the price, I felt it was a little pricey compared to Taipei Cafe, and the overall experience did not feel worth it. Overall, the food was just alright, the service could be improved, and the pay-first system was not something I liked. I don't think I would come back.

    Decided to spontaneously eat here on a friday night while walking past and did not regret it…read more The restaurant wasnt overly crowded or loud and, the service was great while the food was even better. The taiwanese style popcorn chicken and pork cutlet were super juicy and tender with nicely crisp breading. The sausage had a pleasant sweetness to it and was served with garlic chips, which added a nice touch. Finally, the broth of the Sichuan noodles was packing with flavor: sweet, tangy, spicy, umami - truly hit all the spots without being too numbing to your mouth, if thats one of your concerns Would definitely return to try the other menu items, especially their hot sizzling plates and their dessert/drink offerings
