Welcome to my Koreatown matcha detour. After shopping at The Grove, we decided to make a quick stop for matcha and found this little gem that clearly isn't much of a secret anymore. When you pull into the parking lot it's packed. Valet controls the lot, so if you'd rather not use it you can try street parking -- just know it gets tough depending on the time of day. Once we found a spot and walked in, the decor was nice with a clean Japanese-style feel. There were a few places to sit, but nothing overly spacious or super accommodating. When it came time to order we weren't sure which gelato we wanted, so they kindly offered us one sample per person. Off to the left are two electronic tablets where you place your order. I wish the drink descriptions were a little clearer, but after checking a few details we were good to go. I ordered the Banana Pudding Crème Brûlée Matcha and a regular matcha with a scoop of gelato (we upgraded to the extra matcha gelato on top). The matcha quality was excellent -- you could really taste the difference. The Banana Pudding Crème Brûlée Matcha was creamy, rich, and the cold foam on top was absolutely delicious. This place has a great vibe and even better drinks. Funny side note: I used my alter ego "Papi Chulo" when ordering. When our order came up, the younger guy behind the counter read the name, looked at his coworker with a smile, then just called out the order number instead. As he set the drinks down he laughed and said, "Zero chance I'm saying that out loud!"
I visited this K Town location on a hot Saturday, at an expectedly busy time, and despite these conditions, with how packed it was, there was still space and flow for all patrons to walk right up to the counter for samples, deviate to the kiosks for orders, and wait a short amount of time for service. The location benefits from a large workspace for employees to better tend to guests' needs, and while the options are plentiful, the selection seems manageable to 1. Not get orders confused and 2. Provide a unique matcha experience I would recommend to anyone. 10/10 will come back to this underestimated recommendation A couple things to note: I did not see an option to select what kind of dairy alternatives I could get, and while I know that may deter some lactose intolerant customers I believe the quality of what's prepared sustains enjoyability for all. In case anyone is wondering... The trash can nearest the service counter (where you dispose of samples) had a bag not appropriately sized for the container and considering the volume and workforce of this location, I think it's worth mentioning the management could provide the proper receptacle so that these wonderful staff don't have to worry about what we all don't want to clean up inside a trash can, when there are very affordable and easily acquired bags for that. I noticed the bags used were actually more expensive than what a normal bulk food service order provides. Perhaps it's a result of overusing supplies and a necessary evil. But I did want to speak up for the team efficiency as well as cost savings. And lastly, this location provided a matcha experience I never thought imaginable, which options to try that really outdo the matcha world. Little did I know, the Bay Area location has even more options (so I'm told). Maybe save on the trash bags and bring more matcha to what I can guarantee is a K Town staple. Cheers!
Finally an excellent dessert place open in the village!! Matcha is definitely to die for. But so as other icecream flavor too. This time we tried to Hokkaido milk gelato. It is so good and refreshing! The line a bit long in the weekend. They do let customer try out their gelato flavor. But limit to one per customer.
I like that they have different intensity of matcha. The second strongest one was perfect for me. Service was great, they only let you try for two item, I don't really like that but I can see people abusing it in that neighborhood. It's nice and clean inside the store. Highly recommended and I will repeat.
MATCHA HEAVEN!! This place serves both matcha drinks and gelato. You can have one sample for the gelato. Side note: the parking for this plaza is VALET ONLY ($5)
Matsu Matcha is located in a valet-only parking lot, so make sure to budget accordingly (or park a block over + get validation). As their name suggests, they specialize in matcha, including gelato. Their hojicha matcha gelato was tasty, but that ultra matcha... unless you like matcha - ooh, this one STRONG! (I felt like I was eating powdered grass... the smallest nibble, and I was more alert than an adrenaline rush! The Matcha Mango Latte (30% sugar) was super tasty, and I highly recommend it. The layering was great, and the taste equally good. The staff that work here are super friendly, and they allowed samplings of their gelato too - definitely sample before ordering! Note that this location is a tad small, though, so if you come after dinner or a "rush hour" time, there may be a line out the door, and you may feel claustrophobic.
There are kiosks to order from. You get one sample of gelato. I got 2 flavors, ultra rich matcha (+$1) and dark chocolate, in a cup. Both flavors were creamy, rich, and not too sweet. About $10. Casual vibes with limited indoor seating.
They specialize in matcha. I mean, not only is it in the name, but you have gelato with different types and concentration of matcha as well as a variety of drinks you can order. The service is really friendly and the space isn't large but it's bright, clean, and has a zen-like quality to it. There is some seating, but I'm going to guess most of the business is for take out. Since it was early in the morning, I got a beverage (although I would love to come back soon and get some gelato!). And I didn't really go the traditional route. I got the banana pudding matcha cream, which was such a tasty treat! But yeah, my next visit, I will be exploring the gelato flavors for sure. The lot is pretty tiny as with most lots in K Town, but there's valet and when I went, it was early in the day so there was available street parking nearby.
One of the best matchas I've had! When you first walk in, the aesthetic is reminiscent of a Japanese tea house (but in a more japandi/minimal modern). There's kiosks where you can order and an ice cream display of all their ice creams. We got the triple matcha drink and one scoop of the Genmai matcha ice cream. The triple matcha drink is really good. The drink comes with matcha jelly and matcha creamtop and is bitter but also slightly sweet. Matcha jelly isn't too overpowering with matcha but it does give the drink a stronger matcha taste. 9/10 The genmai ice cream has a lighter matcha taste which isn't too bitter. Creamy and refreshing with a matcha aftertaste. 8/10 Stuff is friendly and they are nice enough to put our one scoop into a cup (which typically comes in a cone). Def will come back to try the other matcha drinks and ice creams!
I really enjoyed Matsu Matcha and am disappointed that there is not one near my house! This place was pretty good and the line was pretty long but also went by pretty fast. You order at the kiosk so it really depends on how long people take to order. Their ice creams are very strong in flavor for both the matcha and hojicha! You are allowed to try one sample of their gelato so I definitely recommend trying that if there isn't a wait. I also got and liked the hojicha latte. I think the only downside of this place is that it is very pricey for the size, but the quality is very good. It was very aesthetic but very little seating and just very crowded so I recommend going on a random day and time. The parking is very small and I believe it is only valet parking, so I recommend finding neighborhood/street parking.
Some of the best matcha I've had in L.A. The shop has really nice and simple decor. You order at the kiosk and my drinks came out pretty quickly. I orderd the triple matcha and the guava matcha latte. Both were delicious but I liked the triple matcha a bit more. I cant wait to go back and try some of their other fmdrinks and gelato. The only thing that wasnt the best was the parking. I think its valet only.
I was driving through Koreatown during the week, and I noticed that this is where Matsu Matcha is. I've seen the videos online where the lines are crazy on the weekends. So I was able to find a street parking. I was able to order the triple Matcha drink, which was amazing. I'd love the bits of jelly Also, the ice cream looked really good and that is something. I will have to try to get next time as well as some of the other drinks that they had. The store is fairly big however there isn't that much seating around so it is a little bit trickier to get a seat inside. Not sure if they allow mobile orders all the time or not but that might be the okay especially if there's a line for the kiosks. They have valet parking outside otherwise if you can't find any street parking. Great place for Matcha here in Koreatown
There is only valet parking in a tiny parking lot which was $5. Very nice valet guys though. No outdoor seating and only 5 seats inside so it was very crowded. However, the matcha was strong and delicious. The gelato was the perfect level of creamy and not too sweet. 50% sweetness was perfect. Definitely recommend for authentic Japanese matcha that'll keep you up at night.

This place is nestled right in the main little Tokyo area. When we walked inside, there was a pretty big crowd of people waiting for their drinks along with a hefty line to order. The line moved quite slowly. Once we were in front, we realized you order yourself on a single tablet which doesn't seem like the most efficient system, so that probably contributes to why the line moves so slowly. We also asked one of the workers what Hokkaido was when looking at the gelato flavors, and they said that they don't know... I was a little surprised that one of the workers wouldn't know their own product lol. We went with iced matcha latte with mango. You can specify the sweetness level, we got it at the recommended 50%. They charge an extra 0.75 for dairy-free milk. It's pretty pricey, around $9 each. It took a while for the drink to be ready, maybe 10 or so minutes. It's also super warm inside, I wish they had AC. The matcha latte was pretty tasty and smooth, the matcha flavor was strong. Towards the end I was a little over it though and it tasted a little chalky. It's okay but not sure it's worth standing in such a long line and waiting as long as we did. read more
We tried four different flavors of matcha ice cream, and they were all pretty good! The atmosphere was clean and had a very authentic feel. One tip: don't judge the strength of the matcha by the color alone. Some of the ice cream looked like it would have a rich, bitter matcha flavor because of the dark green color, but the taste was actually much milder than I expected. I kind of regret not choosing the darkest one, which was probably the most intense matcha flavor. The good news is that they offer samples, so you can try a spoonful before deciding. read more

Cafe in ktown with limited seating. Ordered the matcha latte and it was insanely good super smooth and not too milky or watery I got 80% sweetness and it was perfect. They also have different gelatos that looked good that I can't wait to try next time. It was a kiosk ordering system and drinks came out fast! read more

I'm glad the second time I came, the café was empty since I arrived when it just opened. It's such a cute aesthetic café. The parking I feel like it's always busy or packed, but not much on the weekdays. This time I did enjoy the drink I got. You can order your drink on the screen or with the cashier. The seating is small and close to each other. The drinks are okay. I think I just have to explore more. read more

The interior is very nice, love the ambiance of this place. You can order through the two kiosks. It only takes them a couple of minutes to prepare the orders. The matcha has a really strong green color. The matcha was very strong and a bit on the expensive side, but worth since the quality is high. They offer a complimentary scoop of gelato if you leave a Yelp review. The gelato was perfectly creamy and not too sweet. ig: @cravingswithcat read more

We went to Matsu Matcha on a weekday to beat the crowds, although it was pretty busy, our drinks were done within minutes of us ordering. We got the Guava Matcha Latte and the Banana Pudding Matcha Crème Brûlée. The matcha is 100% better than most other matchas I have tried. It is strong and very flavorful. I tried a sample of the Ultra-Strong Matcha, and it was very good for someone who loves the flavor of matcha. It was a bit strong for me, so I would definitely recommend giving it a try before choosing that one. The building is cute with a minimalist Japanese-inspired design. They have plenty of seating, and cute decor around the shop. Worth the trip for all matcha lovers! read more
5/27/2026 4 Stars - Minus 1 Star for small parking lot + $3.00 fee. GELATO IN A CUP (2 FLAVORS) Ultra Rich Matcha #5 & Hojicha I did not taste this first before purchasing. I had a general idea of the intensity of this matcha gelato, as I've read some reviews on it, and I was not wrong! It does have that bitterness, but no noticeable astringency. A bit of grassiness and slight sweetness. If you've made koicha, then think of it in gelato form. I purposely got hojicha gelato to balance out the intensity of the matcha gelato. The hojicha was also deep, roasted, nutty in flavor. It was much sweeter than the matcha gelato, so it complemented the matcha gelato really well. Personally, I did love the hojicha gelato a bit more. Every guest that walked in ordered matcha or hojicha lattes. Not gelato. I guess I am one of the few that preferred gelato over matcha lattes. MARUKYU KOYAMAEN 丸久小山園 MATCHA POWDER - Isuzu 五十鈴 (40g) Matcha powder was purchased in-store via self-kiosk. The Isuzu was quite bitter, a little bit of astringency, vegetal, yet creamy. It also lends a bit of umami flavor as well. It is best used for matcha lattes. Also, it worked well as a koicha, if you want that intense flavor. I simply made a matcha affogato, which I enjoyed. However, Isuzu wasn't my favorite. Glad I tried it. SELF-ORDER KIOSKS There are two kiosks that you can place your order and they will call your number. I do think you can order at the register, although I'm not completely sure, as I saw a screen at the front register, but everyone ordered at the self-order kiosks. I went on a Wednesday around 1:00pm, so there was no line. I saw a few people standing around to look at the menu and two people sitting down at the table. It was quite empty at that time. The menu is jam-packed! There's so many options that you don't know where to start. I recommend that you take a look at the online menu before arrival. Better yet, if you're closer to the shop, you can skip the line and order online on Snack Pass. ONE SAMPLE ONLY FOR GELATOS! So choose well. It is quite pointless giving out one sample. The sample I got was the Genmai Matcha #1. This tasted exactly like genmaicha in gelato form. LIMITED SEATING AVAILABLE A few tables and chairs inside. Minimalist wooden tables and seats look nice, but are uncomfortable. VALET PARKING IS $3.00. Just letting you know. It is a small parking lot too. Not sure if the parking fee changes for evening hours. CUSTOMER SERVICE It was minimal interaction, as I ordered via self-order kiosk. But I did get a sample of the gelato. Customer service was okay. Not rude, but they weren't smiling nor welcoming. Would I come back? Maybe, if I'm in the area, but not sure I would go out of my way to come here. I think the small parking lot and $3.00 fee is what makes it less appealing. Personally, Maruwu Seicha has a more welcoming ambiance and the large outdoor space makes it a good place to visit, enjoy your drinks and gelato at your pace. You get 1 hr free parking at Culver Steps too. read more
i really enjoyed the hojicha and ultra rich matcha gelato! the flavors were strong and texture was creamy. matsu matcha offers a total of 9 gelato flavors, ranging from light to refreshingly tangy to nutty. there are 5 variations of matcha alone: genmai, jasmine, uji, extra, and ULTRA RICH. the difference between "extra" and "ultra" is actually noticeable, so the premium pricing is understandable. samples are limited 1 per customer. WAIT TIME my friends and i visited on a sunday in the early afternoon, so we received our drinks and gelatos within 5-7 minutes of inputting our orders at the kiosk. SEATING since the shop is small, seating can be pretty limited, especially if you have a larger party. the place was packed and bustling by 3 pm. PARKING valet parking at the plaza matsu matcha occupies is $3. street parking is metered. read more
I love matsumatcha. I don't typically drink matcha but I do love a good hojicha. It was strong and nutty but didn't feel grainy. Ambiance is clean and lots of seating but it's hard to find parking unless u pay in the lot for $3. read more
i think the main consensus is that the matcha lattes are not that great but the gelatos are 5 stars. matcha flavors in general are amazing! the lattes are a bit watery but i didnt think these were horrible in the slightest. i'd definitely come back here but just for gelato. but i also really hate how they limit you on samples like you genuinely only get 1. it felt like a gamble choosing my flavor.. but i believe they'd all be good read more

Okay the hype is real. The matcha is DELICIOUS. Was there a wait? Yes, but wasn't too bad. You order from a kiosk and wait until they call your number/name. There are a few seats inside but pretty tight from each other. Every order, you get a complimentary small spoon of soft serve to try so don't forget. Their matcha does not taste too earthy but yet just right. You can choose your sweetness adjust for certain drinks you order but I definitely recommend the coconut matcha as it tastes so refreshing, especially on days when it's hot. Mango matcha latte, soo good. Fresh mango puree and the combo with matcha on point. Parking situation: you can either try to park inside the lot or skip the hassle and park on the street and walk. Coming back? Yes! read more
Matsu Matcha is such a creatively designed dessert spot. The inside has a traditional Japanese inspired feel that really adds to the experience. I tried both the ceremonial grade matcha and the jasmine green tea. I personally wasn't the biggest fan of the jasmine green tea since it wasn't as sweet as I usually like, but the tea flavor itself was very potent with a really nice aroma. The ceremonial grade matcha ice cream, on the other hand, was absolutely delicious. The color looked perfect and the flavor tasted super authentic and high quality. Even the cone itself was really good. There isn't much seating inside, but it's easy to take your dessert to go and walk around the area. There's also a parking lot, which makes parking super convenient. The staff were attentive and friendly throughout the visit. I would definitely recommend stopping by if you enjoy high quality matcha. read more
We went to Matsu Matcha on National Matcha Day after watching an influencer nail her reel. And of course, there was a line out the door, but it moved faster than expected, especially since we were just there for gelato. They offer matcha in different strength levels, which is a nice touch depending on how deep your matcha love goes. I went medium, my wife got the jasmine floral and my son went full strength. I liked mine best. The strong was too bitter for me and the floral was a little too floral, but that's just personal taste. So why 4 stars? A few small things. The strip mall parking lot is tight and finding a spot is impossible. The place itself is small with no outdoor seating, so we ended up eating our gelato on a bus stop bench, which was fine but not exactly the vibe. And honestly, the Instagram crowd means it skews toward first-timers and those of us snobs (haha) who've been into matcha for a while might find it a little too trendy for its own good. That said, if you're looking for a place that's matcha-trendy and Instagram-ready but also actually high-quality matcha, you've found it. Just go on a weekday. read more
Lines are long but it moves relatively quick. You order on the kiosk and pick up at the station. Gelato allows you one taste test. Gelato #3 - lighters and creamier but still good Gelato #5 - dark matcha intensity, nice long aftertaste ($1 extra) Triple matcha - tasty drink overall Interior is small, parking is not easy, but looks very aesthetic. You don't wait long but it sees to always be packed. I really liked the gelato matcha and my drinks. Overall would definitely recommend as the matcha is very good. I would love to keep exploring some of the other menu items. read more

So happy to Matsu Matcha expand from the Bay to LA! It's located at a prime spot in Ktown, in a busy plaza. I came with some friends on a Friday night and we loved the gelato! They allow samples, but unfortunately only 1 sample per customer. We tried the Hokkaido milk, hojicha, #3 Uji matcha, and the jasmine matcha, and all the flavors were amazing and high quality! You order at one of the kiosks and they'll call you once your order is ready. The shop itself is beautiful with a modern and minimalist aesthetic and there's some seating available. Parking: either in the plaza (valet) or street parking. Need to come back for the drinks! read more
