    Came here to snack after grabbing food nearby. The whole craze is the concept of spaghetti string match ice cream. It's alright but it's more of a try it once item.

    Strawberry parfait
    Eileen F.

    My first time here and I tried the strawberry parfait with matcha and milk swirl soft serve. I have to say, it tasted as good as it looked. It was a tad on the sweet side, but had a bunch of different textures and flavors that kept each bite exciting. The biggest problem I ran into was the excruciatingly long wait. There were two other parties ahead of me, and it took them around 20 min to make mine. I would come here more often, but that brutal wait might be a deterrent.

    It's a small business, with a variety of desserts to choose from. They have a touchpad to order, instead of staff. The ambiance is simple, not really much to it due to the simplicity of the menu and it's located on the outside of the mall.

    After shopping at the Santa Anita Mall, I wanted to try the new Japanese Matcha dessert. They serve both Matcha and Mochi dessert. This shop is located at the Santa Anita Mall outside the Nordstrom side on the second floor. Ordered Mango Montblanc Hojicha Parfait. This dessert contains the following: Hojicha jelly, whipped cream, mango puree, rice crispies, soft serve, mango mont blanc, mochi balls, and matcha chocolate leaf. This cool mango treat was sweet, creamy, chewy, crunchy and refreshing on a hot day. The matcha was both sweet and bitter in taste. Service was great and friendly staff.

    Matcha latte

    This is located on the second floor towards the Nordstrom. They have a kiosk! The staff are nice and the order arrived at a decent time. There's mall seating nearby but it makes for a chill environment nearby. The matcha cream mochi is delicious. It's light and just sweet enough. It makes for a good sweet treat after a meal. The matcha latte is really good and you can feel the texture. I got the less sweet option amd that was just right for me. I'd only wish it wasn't so full of ice. But otherwise I'd return to try more from the menu.

    Why did I come to Arcadia Mall....ya to visit the Longines Store... The Matcha was a gamble. I've had matcha in places I didn't enjoy. But this place has it right. Ordered the Banana Creme Matcha Latte 1/2 Sugar 2 Pumps with coffee bits ; enjoyed the subtleness of the bananas, the presence of the tannins but balanced away with the mixture of ice, creme, sugar and the hint of bitterness. Like you aren't sacrificing the tea experience everything feels wholesome. Glad I gave this place a shot. A lot of the stores / food establishments in this mall come and go. The weather really calmed down today, after the raging winds of yesterday.

    Matcha shake
    Amy N.

    This is one of many drink places open at Santa Anita mall. I tried it for the first time yesterday and really liked the matcha drinks here! The matcha flavor is very strong, and the caffeine content seems pretty high. My friends and I tried the matcha shake and the matcha latte with sakura foam (50% sweetness). I loved the Matcha Shake, which was basically a drinkable matcha soft serve. The matcha latte with sakura foam was also good, although it was very bitter (which is probably because we ordered 50% sweetness). My friend also ordered a strawberry mochi for herself (which I personally did not try); she said it was very good and the mochi was soft. Service was pretty quick; our drinks were ready in a few minutes. There is some seating around the shop.

    Since there was no line on a Monday morning, I decided to try this place out. I ordered a regular matcha latte with 50% sweetness and oak milk. The matcha tasted extremely grassy, bitter, and was not enjoyable at all. I'm sorry but I won't be returning.

    UPSTAIRS NEAR NORDSTROM & DIN TAI FUNG ====================================== Matcha Ren is a good option for a post shopping snack or beverage after a Nordstrom visit. I've been there twice and while I love a good matcha latte I have ordered their matcha soft serve the past two visits. There is easy ordering on the iPad. The big menus are up above. The first time I ordered the matcha soft serve and the second time I ordered the matcha and milk swirl. I think I prefer the latter. The next time I might try the Mont Blanc softserve. I agree with Margaret P., the L.A. East Community Manager, who wrote that it didn't knock her socks off. But it definitely hits the spot without having to drive somewhere else after shopping. Located in the cubby hole section with a few restaurants upstairs between Nordstrom and Din Tai Fung.

    Tried the matcha soft serve. The matcha flavor isn't strong so I think the blend is mostly the creamy part but still satisfying on those hot summer days.

    Sakura Daifuku (special)

    Oooh montblanc soft serve has made it to Arcadia! Matcha Ren was announced in May and then opened in September in the old hainan chicken spot (near the Nordstrom as you walk towards the outdoors area, past Uncle Tetsu!) It's kiosk order only and service was relatively quick despite the building line. I ordered the: *Matcha Montblanc Parfait (layered with the montblanc, Hokkaido milk cream (you could also pick Matcha ice cream), strawberry puree, mochi , crunchy cereal and kadang (jelly)) - I enjoyed this! The strawberry puree was pretty sweet for me but I loved finding the mochi and kadang. I also think I'll get the matcha ice cream next time so it's more matcha forward. *Sakura Daifuku - the texture was on point, so soft and fresh. It also delivered on the cherry blossom flavor.

    Decided to skip the matcha drinks and ice cream since I was disappointed when I first went there a few months ago so I gave this spot a second chance and got their popular mochi instead! At first, I was hesitant to spend $4.80 on 1 mochi but I ended up being curious and getting 2! This was definitely the priciest mochi I've gotten but after seeing so much hype on social media on how their mochi is freshly made, I had to get it. The Matcha Strawberry mochi tasted very fresh, soft, and chewy. It didn't taste too sweet or doughy but wish there was more of a matcha flavor. The strawberry would have been better if it was more sweet. I really enjoyed that there was a string given to cut the mochi perfectly in half! The strawberry choco mochi was very sweet and the strawberry tasted hard and not sweet. Definitely don't recommend getting this and would much rather get the matcha strawberry! Overall, I liked the matcha mochi better than the matcha drinks but definitely will not be returning because it was pricey and nothing too special unfortunately!

    I went here to get some matcha with some friends. I don't think it was terrible but it didn't blow me away. I think their known for their dessert that kinda looks like spaghetti but personally don't waste your money on it unless you want cute pictures. I think your better off with the matcha ice cream. Overall the place was not bad. I would probably come back to get some matcha ice cream. It is a nice hangout spot with friends. More for the experience and pics than the quality of the desserts

    Been frequenting this boba shop with my husband every now and then. It has a cozy cafe vibe with a…read morevariety of comfy chairs and tables. The shop feels very nice and clean with a simple interior design. My top drink is probably the White Peach Oolong Milk Tea, which has an oolong tea base with floral notes and a kick of sweet white peach. I like how creamy and fragrant it is. At 50% sweetness, I feel like there is the perfect balance of sugar, tea, and milk. Another solid drink is the Oops Cheese Matcha Smash, which is easily one of their best sellers. This drink is creamy, rich, and indulgent. The layer of cheese foam deepens the flavor of the matcha, making it extra creamy with an enjoyable contrast. Aside from drinks, there are also some snack food options like popcorn chicken and fries. The savory snacks would pair perfectly alongside the sweet drinks. This is for sure a boba spot I would recommend.

It's tucked away so deep in the middle of nowhere that even the locals forget it exists. You will not stumble upon it -- you will summon it. But once you've completed your side quest and arrived, the popcorn chicken is legit. Like, "grandma-would-approve" legit. And the tea? Actually tasty enough to make you forget you're drinking it in what appears to be an abandoned shed. Service is... well, let's call it leisurely. As in, you might have time to write a novel between ordering and receiving your food. But honestly? If you're not in a rush and you've accepted your fate as a hermit in the wilderness, it's totally fine.

    I've been here twice and really like it…read more First, the drinks. They range from $1.99-$3.99...talk about throwback pricing. Reading th menu made me feel like it was 1999 all over again. Price aside, the drinks are good and on par with what you would find at typical boba shops. The food is where this place really shines. They have a large menu, ranging from rice to noodles to grilled meats served on a hot plate. I got the $21 NY steak today, which was a generous portion, served with sliced onions, corn, broccoli and choice of rice or spaghetti. It's not Morton's but, c'mon, $21 for a steak fix these days is a heck of a deal. Most of their entrees are in the $14-18 range. To top it off, the service is great - attentive and very friendly. Free parking lot in the back.

    Unfortunately they have discontinued their weekday combo menu making it less worth the drive for us…read moreso we're not sure when we'll next be back. The good news is, their chicken steak is still just as yummy! We ordered: - Grilled chicken steak with black pepper sauce and spaghetti (4/5): Super crispy skin and juicy chicken. The black pepper sauce adds a fragrant touch - much better pairing than the mushroom sauce we got on a previous visit. The spaghetti portion is smaller than at most other HK cafes and isn't as good though. - Baked sole filet with rice and white sauce (3/5): Had high expectations for this dish but it didn't quite meet them. The rice used was plain white rice which isn't what I'm used to at other HK cafes and it left me a bit disappointed since it meant the dish was much more monotone in flavor and there were bites that were unflavorful. The fish itself was generously portioned and easy to eat with the warming cheese and white sauce combo. Wouldn't get again only because I know other spots that do it much better but decent overall. - Beef stew with noodle (3/5): Had expected this to be dry style with the beef stew over softened egg noodles but it came out as a soup. Beef pieces were tender and generous. Egg noodles were a bit overcooked. - Sticky Rice Dim Sum: They were massive and decent in flavor. They were a little mushy I think because it had been steaming a while (which was probably why they were quick to be served) but we didn't mind - Siumai: Generous amount of fish egg on top and was pleasantly meaty. We found parking in the front but also know there's a lot in the back. The restaurant itself is big and pretty empty and quiet. We were glad that service was friendly and quick this visit since the first time we were there one of the servers gave us attitude.
