    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.

    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!

The menus are easy to follow they even offer a digital kiosk from Chow Bus to order. Friendly help took my order. The brown sugar boba milk tea, make sure you secure the top and flip it over to mix it together well, otherwise the flavor is lost. They gave us a sample of matcha ice cream and that was delicious I must say. Many wonderful treats I noticed and a busy place. Well done! You can find it inside the West Entrance. In front of Lao Szchesuan . Across from Chinatown's Walgreens on Cermak & Archer Avenue . Enjoy !

It's located opposite of the cash register and menu. Service was friendly. Washroom (restroom, bathroom search terms) available. Decent amount of seating, serving as a solid space to study or get work done. Black Sesame Matcha Latte - while the black sesame graininess settled at the bottom expectedly, the matcha was clearly whisked well. There were no clumps of bitterness to be found. Despite sugar adjustments, this was still very sweet so I'd classify the spot as more desserty rather than strong matcha or a cafe. Though I'm happy to be proven wrong with their regular matcha in the future.

I would've loved a touch more of sweetness to the dish overall. The white liquid that was served on the side seemed to be just milk, and it would've been better if it was a condensed milk sauce. This is located on the second floor and there is plenty of seating available. You order and pay at the counter and grab your food when your buzzer goes off. You can pay with card.

It was one of those places where people were constantly coming and going, so the energy stayed super lively the whole time. Everything looked so pretty and tasted even better. The bingsu was SO good -- super refreshing, light, and perfect if you love mango desserts without them feeling too heavy. We also tried a few different mango treats and honestly everything was a hit. The fruit tasted fresh, the portions were generous, and presentation was adorable. Such a fun late night dessert spot if you're craving something sweet but not overly rich. Definitely a place I'd come back to, especially with friends because there are so many things to share and try. Elite tip: come with a group so you can order a bunch and split everything

    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.

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

Its a smaller place but has updated and cute design and vaguely anime vibe. The tables have little drawers with napkins and flatware like some Korean places do as a nice surprise... also the QR code menu on it. Food is Asian fusion and primarily Taiwanese I guess so it was different but familiar and I got a Hotpot to appease my disappointed shabu craving... pals like their dishes as well... drinks were pretty cute - especially the chocolate sugar bear. Good place to hit ii Chinatown next time youre down there.
