    Okinawa latte (right) Yuzu lemonade (left)
    Paula V.

    Finally got the chance to try it ---- and it was good! I like that it really balances the nutty taste and sweetness out, at least for the Okinawa latte. I don't usually go for nutty flavors but this was nice inside the drink. The yuzu lemonade, even after mixing it really well, was still too tart but at the same time sweet for our liking.

    Hojicha with warabimochi, and yuzu lemonade with matcha cloud foam (seasonal)
    Erina P.

    This review would've been a 4-star one if there wasn't so much ice in my drink! I ordered their seasonal yuzu lemonade with matcha cloud foam, and really enjoyed the overall taste. However, because there was so much ice in my drink, I genuinely felt like my drink (which cost like $9) was gone within 10 sips. My husband also enjoyed his hojicha with warabimochi. Service was fairly quick as there was no line. It's located in the Santa Anita mall food court, so plenty of seats to choose from (or you can walk around and window shop while you drink).

    Popped in for a little hit of caffeine. I ordered a large strawberry matcha latte. It's absolutely beautiful and tastes even better than it looks. Make sure to mix it really well before consuming to ensure you get delicious bits of jelly strawberry.

    Very special traditional Mochi that you cannot get hardly any place else you must try you must get it if you're in the area this is very special one of those things that is worth getting and worth waiting for they make a limited quantity for the day and once they're sold out they're sold out don't ask how much it costs and I recommend getting the combination with the three different flavors and just sharing it one little boy at a time doesn't look like it's very much but the little bites are so satisfying and so flavorful

    The Mixed 12 piece is a taste of the famous mochi: Matcha, Kinako, and Black Sesame. Thank you for the cashier for being so helpful! 12 pcs Mix (3 Flavors) $20.50. What a morning treat!

    4 stars for the matcha and for the service. Still need to try the mochi and will come back to try it next time we're at the mall. Strawberry Matcha was sweet, creamy and delicious. Definitely going to get it again.

    So we were at the mall and my friend says this is the mochi place she and I wanted to try. I didn't realize it was in the mall. Too bad you can't mix and match the other mochi flavors in one order. Anyways we ended up ordering the sesame mochi that was freshly made. It was so so sticky and came with this sweet sauce which I was okay with. I just enjoyed the black sesame all by itself. The helper cashier seemed moody and didn't want to answer some basic questions but we were there for the sesame mochi and I just wanted to dig into it. Since it's in the mall eating area there were plenty of seats to seat us down. I think eating it would've been better served with chopsticks over a for for some reason. I'd be back on another trip to try other flavors but they are a bit pricey.

    I always pass by as it's literally right in the center when you first walk into the food court. Ordered a matcha latte without the jelly 50% sweetness then saw mini mix and decided to order for a sample taste. The mochi texture is really soft and extremely chewy not like other mochi spots. I'm glad I only got to sample one of each flavor. Don't think I would've want more. It was dusted with so much powder with brown sugar syrup on the side. I also didn't really like that I had to just down both on the spot. They don't have a lid for it or anything. But I can see why people like their mochi. The texture is pretty unique.

    MENU - June 2026

    6/7/2026 First time at Warabimochi Kamakura. WARABIMOCHI 12 PC MIX (2 FLAVORS) 6 PC KINAKO, 6 PC MATCHA The warabimochi is very soft and jiggly. Softer than boba, soft like jello, yet has that chewy, gooey texture. Not my favorite texture, but glad I tried it. I just saw that they had black sesame flavor too, but I was in such a rush, I must have missed it on the menu. Comes with a little bottle of brown sugar syrup, which is rich in brown sugar flavor and quite sweet too. When poured over the warabimochi, it does only taste like the brown sugar syrup. I would recommend that you eat the warabimochi with ice cream. I didn't order any at the store, but ate the ice cream I had at home. Choice of ice cream was Straus Family Creamery's Vanilla Bean. It didn't overpower the warabimochi flavors of the matcha or kinako, it simply added more creaminess and additional texture to the dessert. Also, you can get a firmer texture when you put the warabimochi in the fridge overnight, which I thought was much better and enjoyable to eat. HOJICHA CLOUD Very good hojicha flavor. But mostly it is cream. Hence, the name Cloud. I got it 100% sweetness and I asked for warabimochi pieces added to the drink. They give you a boba straw to drink. Warabimochi was very soft, light chewiness, cut into smaller pieces. The drink was very slightly on the sweeter side, but it's that or 50% sweetness level. There was a lot of ice in it, which means there's less hojicha drink too. Got it in medium size. Small size and medium size cost difference is 0.75 cents. Best to get a medium size. There's also a large size, which is much bigger in comparison to the medium. STRAWBERRY MATCHA CLOUD This had a good matcha and strawberry flavor all around. They also added warabimochi in this drink too. The matcha is a cream top and the rest is strawberries with milk. It tasted good and not overly sweet. This was 100% sweetness. Personally wished there wasn't any warabimochi in it, but it automatically comes with the drink. Did not realize there would be any in it too until after I ordered it. I would reorder the drinks. Maybe order one without warabimochi though. I would try their other drink offerings too. I haven't tried their black sesame warabimochi, so might return to try that one. CUSTOMER SERVICE Good, friendly customer service. Only two people working. Warabimochi came out first, then the drinks. Everything came out in order and quickly. LOCATION Located at Santa Anita Mall. First floor. At the food court. Across from Zumiez and Shoe Palace, Daniel's, Game Stop. Just follow the Food Court sign and you'll find it quicker. It is a stand alone store right in the center of the food court.

    The matcha here is so good. Perfect amount, smooth and creamy not bitter at all and not too sweet. They add warabimochi to to it which can be a hit or miss if you don't like texturized foods. ( you can also ask for light warabimochi but it's good i promise) 9/10 @emzmatchadiary on IG for more matcha reviews

    Finally tried this place after passing by so many times. 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!

    Strawberry Matcha Cloud Latte
    Alys V.

    Conveniently located in the food court area of the Arcadia mall, this kiosk serves really good matcha and warabimochi for dessert. The staff member was very friendly, kindly answered all of our questions, and the service was fast and efficient! I ordered a small iced Strawberry Matcha Cloud Latte priced at around $7, which is a bit pricey for the size proportion - but worth every penny! This specific drink felt more like a sweet treat than it did matcha because of the strawberry syrup and cloud foam to top it off. I could taste the delicacy and authenticity of the matcha and would very much like to try their original iced matcha latte in the future. My family and I have also tried their Warabimochi and were pleasantly surprised at the taste. It had a very soft and chewy texture, but the perfect complementary sauce was the best part! It went so well with the warabimochi, adding a savory taste to the sweetened dessert. This place is a definite must-try that you can take with you while walking around the mall! Would want to come back and try their other drinks!

    I saw this little booth in the food court with attractive videos showing fancy mochi being made so I decided to check it out. I got a combo box of 2 types warabimochis. I have had many types of mochis, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Vietnamese. They are usually made with highly kneaded glutinous rice dough. Not sure what these were made of but they tasted nothing like the mochi I'm familiar with. The "dough" tasted like very loose cornstarch jelly that's completely void of any flavor and texture. It so loose that it's almost liquid. Me no likie. There was sign indicating there was a limit of 100 boxes of this stuff per day. It was after 4 PM and I don't think it was in any danger of selling out. LOL

    I avoided this place since it opened because the lines were ridiculously long and I wasn't in a…read morerush to wait an hour for ramen. Recently, I noticed the lines disappeared so we came for an early dinner. The interior is pretty cool. It's kit just tables and chairs but the design element is unique. Some seating are inside a honeycomb shaped booth, some are just in the middle of the dining area. We were seated at a table that resembles a birdcage. There's a lot of wood and warm colors, which makes the ambiance stand out over other ramen places. We ordered a ramen, omurice with katsu, some skewers and popcorn chicken. The spicy ramen was delicious, but there was no soft boiled egg as shown on the menu photo. All I saw was a broken egg white at the bottom of the bowl. 4/5. The omurice was nicely done. The egg was perfectly soft and silky with a nice curry sauce in the side. The katsu that came with it was crispy, hot and tasty. 4.5/5. The popcorn chicken was great. Perfect seasoning and crispy. 5/5. The skewers however, were the low point of our dinner. They did not appear they were cooked fresh. The meats were dry and tough. The scallops were OK but tiny. Chicken was average. The whole order did not satisfy. We also got an Amazing Lemonade and Thai iced tea. The lemonade was a very refreshing drink, and the Thai tea is just like all other places. Our server, unfortunately forgot his name, was excellent. Very personable and great at describing flavors. The friendliness extends to the rest of the staff too. It's a nice place to check out. Note their parking lot is fairly small, and shared with Paris Baguette next door. It's a 4.5, rounded up.

We stopped by to try their Dine LA deal, which was $65 for a dinner set that included a choice of two appetizers, entrées, drinks, and desserts. The interior featured light wooden accents and honeycomb-style seating that created a cozy ambiance. Service was efficient, and our server was kind and attentive throughout the meal. **Yakitori Platter: 2/5** Unfortunately, the meats were dry and overcooked, while the skewers lacked the signature charred, smoky flavor I typically look for in yakitori. **Crispy Sweet Chili Wings: 2/5** Tossed in a sticky, sweet and spicy glaze, the wings were pleasantly crispy, though an unusual, artificial aftertaste made them difficult to enjoy. **Kyushu Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen: 5/5** This was everything I look for in a good bowl of ramen. The broth was creamy with a bold kick of spice, and the noodles tasted fresh with a satisfying chew. A jammy soft-boiled egg and tender slices of chashu pork made for the perfect finishing touches, with corn adding a subtle sweetness that balanced the richness of the broth. **Tonkatsu Omurice: 2.5/5** A popular Japanese comfort dish, Kyuramen's omurice was paired with a side of crispy tonkatsu. The omelet was incredibly fluffy with a soft, silky texture, but both the chicken fried rice and demi-glace were rather bland and lacking in depth. **Thai Iced Tea: 3.5/5** Fairly standard as far as Thai iced tea goes, this version was smooth with distinct notes of vanilla, warm spices, and just the right amount of sweetness. **Amazing Lemonade: 4/5** Bright and refreshing, the lemonade also had a hint of cucumber that softened its tartness. **Matcha Pudding with Red Bean: 4/5** Velvety with a custard-like consistency, the pudding had a pronounced matcha presence and was served with fresh milk on the side. The red bean complemented the earthy bitterness of the matcha. **Japanese Cherry Blossom Jelly: 2/5** This dessert was visually stunning, with edible sakura flowers suspended inside and crystal boba adding a firm, slightly crunchy contrast to its bouncy texture. While the jelly itself was muted in flavor, the accompanying syrup intensified the floral profile, which ultimately became too strong for my taste. Although Kyuramen had its highlights, several dishes fell short in terms of execution. The Dine LA set was a good opportunity to sample a variety of offerings, but I'd stick to just the ramen on a future visit.
