Uji Time Dessert
About
In CA, Uji Time Dessert is noted for its delightful matcha soft serve. Many customers find the taste strong and deep (Solid dessert place in Japantown), though a few guests point out that it can be watered down at times (Cute concept but it looks better than it tastes). The matcha flavor, priced around $3.99 for small cones and $7.99 for large taiyaki cones, stands out as a must-try item alongside black sesame ($7.99) and tofu flavors ($7.50). Authentic Japanese elements are appreciated by many, with the use of taiyaki cones adding to the unique experience (Legit matcha and seasame icecream in the takiyaki fish pancake!). However, some guests find the prices a little on the pricey side but definitely fun and a must try (Really good soft served - both matcha and sesame are great!). The atmosphere is casual with a mix of locals and visitors, though some find it lively yet potentially uncomfortable due to high school drama sessions. Service is fast via tablet orders, with orders ready in a few minutes, although lines can be long during events.
