This place brings you back to Japan. Decent parfait and soba.

I was excited to try the matcha parfait here, as I’m always a fan of Japanese-style desserts. Unfortunately, the parfait was quite average and did not live up to expectations. What was more disappointing, however, was the service. I expected a higher standard of service and hospitality often associated with Japanese restaurants, but the staff attitude here was poor. It is unfortunate to see such a disconnect between the dining experience and the level of service provided.

The matcha shaved ice is super bland；it's just ice with matcha syrup, and it starts melting within 5 minutes. HKD 98 plus a 10% service fee, definitely not worth it.

I am not a fan of green tea or matcha and dessert. When my friends suggested coming here, I hesitated. Just didn’t want to upset anyone; I decided to give it a try. To my surprise, they are not just serving dessert and green tea. There are rice and noodles on the menu. Two of my friends and I ordered a rice combo and I have hot Genmaicha (brown rice green tea) too. Others ordered matcha dessert, they look really nice. I like the rice combo, there are fish, scallop with walnuts, seaweed and salad with shellfish. Everything was so nice, from appearance to taste, just not the rice. I was expecting they serve typical Japonica rice (Japanese short-grain rice) but what I got is a bowl of brownish rice that was kinda tasteless😅. Luckily, the Genmaicha was good, it comes with a small hourglass which showed whether the tea is ready or not.

Summary: we ate dessert here on a weekday in the afternoon. Service was awful. Taste: mediocre, certainly nothing to write home about. The hojicha cake was overly sweet. Service: very disappointing. It's as if customers have pissed off the waiters just by existing. The waiter that serviced us just threw down our food without a word (for a place with ~hkd100 per dessert, that's unacceptable). When we were halfway through our food and our tea still hadn't come, we asked our waiter about the tea which he impatiently replied "wait wait wait wait wait" in Cantonese. (For context, I speak native Cantonese, I'm just writing this review in English. This is NOT a case of a language barrier). This alone has ruined the experience for us. By the way, the store was around half full when we were there. Not a case of waiters being too busy. This kind of service is exactly what we in Hong Kong need to call out so we can keep our reputation as a travel paradise. Atmosphere: it's ok. There are other stores that do better. Price: expect to spend around 100 per person for a dessert set with tea. Alternatively there are parfaits that cost around 100 without the tea. Conclusion: the service ruined
