Reviews
I got the mango tornado (~$8) which was pretty okay. Despite saying it has jelly and fresh mango it has very little of it, same with the yogurt there was little to none.
Taiyaki (~$7 for 2) was okay. I have a gripe to pick with these specifically coming with a subcharge fee for being placed to-go, its pretty penny pinching for just including the box. I got a cheese and nutella one, I’d avoid the cheese one since it only tasted of cake/batter. The cake itself is good, nice mochi chew texture.
The service was quick although the staff gave an air of not wanting to be there and not wanting you to be there ordering. The inside is small but maximizes with quite a lot of seating which is nice, albeit looking a little run down. I didn’t stay for long myself seeing as it was just me inside and already feeling a little offput.
Originally I had planned to have an order of their souffle pancakes but backtracked as they were $20 and I couldn’t see the price worth it considering the above experience.
They were out of a bunch of things on their menu (including Japanese Omelet and the Air Fried Plant-Based Popcorn Chicken Bowl) which we were really excited about trying…and glancing at the menu today a few weeks after our visit I see these items are still listed as “out of stock.” In fact, their menu has 11 items listed that are “out of stock” so maybe they never really have them and should just take them off the menu to not disappoint folks hoping for some of these uniquely Japanese offerings they list.
The atmosphere leaves a little to be desired…it’s a small space with some cute things to do (like a little pool table) but it does feel a little run down and a bit of a departure from the “clean and cute” vibe you’d expect from a place bringing you Japanese culture. Also, the staff (who may also be the owners) seemed unhappy…never a smile or any kind of indication they were happy you were there.
Despite all that the food came out quicker than expected and it was all good. The souffle pancakes were, of course, the star…they may not have been as beautifully presented as what we had in Kyoto, but they tasted good and were VERY fluffy.
I thought the Ooling Cheese Foam Tea was good and reminiscent of what I’ve had at other Japanese-style (yet sans fluffy pancake) bakeries around town.
We don’t live in Pasadena so probably wouldn’t make another special trip to have this and we definitely wish they had more of the “out of stock” items that still exist on their menu…but if you’re nearby, and you’ve never had Japanese souffle pancakes, it’s worth stopping in.
When I tell you this beverage was undrinkable it was. I ended up dumping it when I got home
The tea was probably made the previous day or early morning as the tea itself didn’t taste good at all. Or it was burnt.
I have sensitive taste buds so I thought maybe it was just me. So I brought it home for my husband to try it
He couldn’t drink more then one sip
I love the atmosphere of this place and people are kind. But if you’re gonna be paying 8+ for a drink I’d rather it actually be good.
Every time I come here to this location and the LT one I’m met with truly mid boba or outright undrinkable items.
I truly would never recommend this place for the drinks.
The pancakes are good if you have 20min to spare and hangout but also very overpriced
Nice vibes, free wifi, customer bathroom
Terrible drinks, Overpriced food, walk out unsatisfied
The popcorn chicken was very good. The soufflé pancake was also good and very moist. Portions are big so it’s good to share. Got the taro milk tea with 50% sweet and it was just perfect, not overly sweet.
This cafe have classic video games or you can play board or card games. There’s also books. There’s parking but is 30 minutes.
Food wise we ordered a small popcorn chicken and boy is it small. 8090 in arcadia gives you much larger portions for a dollar more (although no air fry options). Tastes okay and there are different seasonings available as an add-on. Also ordered a smoked salmon w egg cheesy rice waffle. Wife said “it’s so so. The waffle is a little too crunchy on the outside but the sauce is very good as well as the salmon”. The taiyaki was great. On par with Koko roll in LC or With Love, in Alhambra (by bopo). Food takes 15 to 20 minutes to come out.
There’s so much to do. Books to read, games to play, street fighter 2, and wifi + plenty of seating. There is also a single use restroom.
I’m not saying don’t come here but unless you really really really want souffle or a place to cool off in the AC & play uno before catching the metro…just go to TeaSpots by PCC (or one of the other 4 boba joints next to it). If you only want a drink, just go to TPumps.
We tried the Japanese soufflé pancakes, the mango and the Nutella flavor. I had preordered online so that the pancakes were already being made by Alexis when we arrived. There were lots of activities when we were there including a mini pool table, games and books.
The soufflé pancakes were very light and airy and perfectly prepared. The drinks we ordered, matcha red bean and boba milk tea were also good.
