Visited Kyuramen in Arcadia and really enjoyed both the food and atmosphere. The restaurant itself…read moreis beautifully decorated with lanterns, a wishing tree, and their popular honeycomb booths that make the dining experience feel more unique and cozy. Definitely recommend requesting one if available. Started with the berry mojito and lemonade. The berry mojito was refreshing and loaded with real berries and mint, while the lemonade had a nice balance of sweetness and tartness. For appetizers, the popcorn chicken was crispy, juicy, and packed with basil flavor. The crispy sweet chili wings were one of my favorite dishes of the night -- super crispy with a sweet and spicy glaze that kept me going back for more. We also ordered the honeycomb platter which came with a variety of small bites. My favorites were the tamago, scallops, and shrimp tempura. The ying yang ramen bowl was a great option because it lets you try both tonkotsu and miso ramen in one bowl. Rich broth, chewy noodles, and a perfectly jammy egg made it very satisfying. The omurice was another standout and came with a fun presentation tableside. The fluffy egg over fried rice paired really well with the pork tonkatsu on the side. Dessert was also solid. The matcha tiramisu had a nice matcha bitterness balanced by sweet cream, and the cherry blossom jelly was light, floral, and refreshing with a nice chew from the agar boba. Overall, a fun dining experience with a big menu, tasty food, and great ambiance. Worth checking out if you're in the area.

On a weekend, we ended up looking for drink deal on apps and found TBaar which is closest to us and…read moreoffer deal on strawberry banana smoothie. The TBaar is actually part of Kyuramen, I almost thought the map is wrong, it does have another entrance on left of Ramen restaurant, but it's not that visible. Service is okay as I pickup my online order via Check in at front of Ramen restaurant. The store decor on ramen is tradition, the TBaar does look like Jamba Juice type. Finally the strawberry banana smoothies, for me it taste like strawberry banana Icee. I thought it's mostly juice. However, my younger one likes it. So I am giving this a 4/5, to me the drink is 3.5.

My wife and I came by to 626 Ice Cream earlier this month to redeem the deal from the SGV Passport…read more It was for a Buy 2 get 2 free deal and it included toppings. I wrote a review a year ago and wanted to update it as it was still a 5 star experience for me! They open at 7pm and there were already people waiting in line. The shop rotates flavors often and the soft serves are all good! This recent visit was great! The staff let us sample per usual and explained how we could redeem our offer. My wife ended up getting 4 different flavors. The Blueberry Fig (dairy free), Mandarin (dairy free), Nian Gao (red bean) and one of my favorites the BLACK SESAME! We were able to choose 2 toppings each and we got them all with lids as we were going to take the other 2 home. They also offer some of past flavors as pints and we took home the Coconut Pandan (dairy free) that one is tremendous, btw! The location continues to be one of a kind from the tables and seats to the unique flavors of soft serve! Customer service is still great and the flavors are elite! Thanks again, 626 Ice Cream! ( ^_^)b

I tried the blueberry fig and the mandarin flavors, and the blueberry fig was WAYY better. The mandarin was just too tart for my taste. As for toppings, I really liked the mochi and almonds.

Finally tried this place after passing by so many times…read more My friend and I shared the 2 pc kinako with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Total came out to be $6.35 including tax. It was a lot smaller than we expected, but we didn't take a good look at the pictures. I would NOT recommend sharing unless you really don't eat much. The mochi was good, but my friend was obsessed with the ice cream! I took a star off because the plastic spoon and flimsy container made it very difficult to eat. Taste wise it was good though. Service was quick, nothing to note about that. Ambiance...it's a small kiosk in a mall so very casual spot. I would definitely stop by if I visit the mall again but it's not somewhere I would go too out of my way to go to. Definitely a good place for dessert since it closed at I believe 9 pm!

This review is only for the overpriced drink Ive tried. I ordered their matcha yuzu cloud lemonade…read more After tax is almost $10 for a large cup. I was excited to see how special it can taste to charge this price. Sadly, I am very disappointed. I only can taste a very sweet lemonade flavor and even after I mixed in the matcha cloud I can barely taste any matcha flavor. And I am not sure where the yuzu flavor is at all. I only can taste a very traditional lemonade flavor. Honestly I think this drink super overpriced for just a regular lemonade drink. I would give this drink a 1 star but I do like their warabimochi so I would leave it at 3 stars.

The owner was super accommodating, I was able to pick it up a little early with no issues, which I really appreciated. And can we talk about the packaging?? SO. DAMN. CUTE. ( I forgot to take a pic but it was nicely wrapped) The original cake design had a little bear, but she changed it to a red heart, which was so nice and fit the theme perfectly. I'll 100% be ordering more from them for all my future occasions!!!

It is amazing how much variety they offer at this small shop, including but not limited to cakes, breads, bubble tea, and other desserts. I like to stop by for a drink when I am nearby. The matcha drinks and house special milk teas are pretty good. I would recommend the Brulee Matcha Shake, which has a smooth and creamy texture and is somehow not overly sweet. Brown sugar boba is the perfect topping to go with this drink.

It is shared with other businesses, but I didn't have any problem The cafe is a small family owned business. It was clean and organized with indoor seating. It has inviting and relaxing vibes. The menu includes; various assortment of tea, milk tea, three color dessert, smoothies, matcha, fruit tea, coffee, and espresso. In addition to tea cakes and muffins. They offer also some savory snacks. The cafe was clean. The young lady who received our order, was very nice and friendly. They had an offer to buy two drinks and get the third free. So, we ordered the following; -Mango Strawberry Smoothie 5/5 The tropical flavor of mango mixed with sweet strawberry gave the drink creamy flavor and velvety texture. It was heavenly. - Strawberry Matcha 5/5 The drink was perfectly sweetened and refreshing. Then, we found out that if you buy six items from the bakery, you get the seventh free. We ordered the following from the bakery; - 3 carrot Tea Cakes 5/5 I really enjoyed this carrot tea cake. It had coconut and raisins. The texture was incredibly soft and rich in flavor. It's a must try! - 1 apple cinnamon Tea cakes 5/5 - 2 Almond Tea cake 5/5 - Chocolate Muffin 5/5 We enjoyed our drinks and the fresh tea cakes and muffins. This cafe is a hidden gem in Arcadia.

The smoothie was lacking flavor for me, so I wouldn't order it again. It's a newer restaurant, with great promotional deals right now to check out. There's also tons of seating! Great spot to meet up with friends and family, or for a quick stop too. Can order through kiosk or at the counter. I'm planning on coming back to try their food and more of their drink menu!

Cool spot serving up solid drinks and ice cream…read more Location is easily accessible as it's located on a big plaza. Finding a parking spot should be a problem. The location is small and relatively quiet inside the business. They offer some tables and couches to chill out or even get some computer work done. The menu has a number of drinks to offer as well as ice cream. My wife and I had come by for some matcha. We ended up trying Strawberry Matcha Latte & Hojicha Latte both with oat milk. Also noted oat milk is an extra charge for substitution. The drinks came out great. The looks and tastes of both of em were tremendously delicious. The aroma and flavors were on point with what I was expecting. It's a nice spot to check out if you find yourself in the Arcadia area. ( ^_^)b
