More modern than I thought it would be. Service is quick and the atmosphere lends itself to conversation or study. It feels like the cafes I would visit in Japan minus the claustrophobia, but that also makes one feel a fish out of water sensation if you aren't Asian or accompanied by one. Still, solid experience overall. read more

Quick lunch with a coworker. The atmosphere was great and the service was superb. I ordered the tempura roll which was great. The reason I gave this review 4 stars is because the fried California roll used crab salad instead of lump crab meat and I'm not a fan of that. I'll definitely be back to iCafe though! read more

See all

I ordered on their weekday lunch special and was so pleased with both the quantity and quality of food. I will certainly order from them again! I also did curbside pickup which was efficient. read more

I love this place service is great. Nice Atmosphere this is definitely better than Starbucks. They also make my favorite read more

Very good and excellent service! :D The Boba I ordered (Lychee smoothie) was very good, along with the green tea ice cream I had. read more

I usually come for the ramen, which is pretty good for the price. You can definitely get some better stuff elsewhere, but because it's so close to UTA and makes for a good study area, you wouldn't feel bad for choosing this place. Their entrees are bland at best. Hard pass on them. I haven't tried their sushi, so i can't say much about it. I think they currently have a sewage problem. The bathrooms near the back reek and sometimes the smell leaks out into the eating area. I'm heading back there tonight so i'll update if it's still smelling funky. I've been here many times and it wasn't a problem until the most recent time i visited, about a month ago. hopefully they've fixed it. read more

I love this place. This is my favorite place to study. I love the waitress there are very nice. I love Japaneses food. Did you know that Japaneses is the best place to live and they live longer. I love it. Thank You! read more

Usually love this place and its ramen but this last time I went for my lunch break I was extremely dissatisfied. I ordered ahead of time on the phone and was told 20 min. I arrived minutes before and paid up front and sat down and waited... and waited.. I waited longer (20-30 min) and then came up to ask what's going on. They said they weren't sure I had arrived yet and blah. I remind them I had arrived on time and paid already so it didn't quite make sense but I left there with my (and coworkers) semi warm food and my milk teas that had just been sitting their like I was. Not to mention I was late for that lunch break. I'm now looking for new ramen locations to try if anyone has any recommendations.. read more

I just want to let you know now that this review is overdue, but I felt it was proper to have. Out of the three times I've been here, they got my order wrong every time. I didn't make a fuss and sent them back every time and they would come back with the correct order, but I think it's ridiculous to mess up the same order when I was so clear every time I walked into the establishment. Which I know I expressed because I have food allergies and my receipt also said to remove said foods. Not to mention the wait time would double. Instead of typically waiting 30 minutes for the food, I'm forced to wait an extra 30 minutes. In each time that I came to the establishment the cafe was not busy, so I know they weren't being flushed with customers. I've worked in the food industry before and for quite some time, so I understand the stress that comes from working in the industry; but I would never risk someone harm with food allergies after they fully expressed themselves of what needed to be removed. Especially after 3 times! Each time they messed up my order I was not offered a coupon or a percentage of money back. read more

The food is prepared fresh, there is a wide assortment of milk tea flavors, the staff is polite, and everything is reasonably priced. The yaki udon and vegetable tempura are particularly delicious, as well as the Oolong milk tea. read more

So I live in Fort Worth, and drive to Arlington a few times a month, and every time I go, I always make a quick stop at ICafe!! The teas are amazjng, the food is to die for, and the entire atmosphere is clean, bright, and welcoming. The Calamari is delightful, cooked to perfection, the Miso is always perfect, and savory, and the JaJaMong is the perfect Korean treat! If you're in the mood for something sweet, try the CoCo Ballet! My only complaint is that the staff isn't always the friendliest, or most welcoming, but that's only one out of every few times I visit. I give 5 stars for a consistently fantastic experience. read more

Really clean place to have a quick drink or full meal. There are lots of outlets to keep your laptop/phone charged. The interior is clean and overall a great environment. The staff are friendly and make you fee welcome. I ordered a ton katsu bento for only $9. It was really tasty and also came with a free drink. Will be back again. read more

Service is amazing, and milk tea is one of the best I have tasted. This is a great place to study as they have a few computers and free wi-fi. The environment is student oriented with a studious atmosphere! A bit cheaper than bethany's drinks. The beef fried rice is absolutely amazing. I was completely satisfied with my visit, and I highly recommend this place! read more

I didn't have a very good first experience here because they had no idea what a STRAWBERRY BANANA SMOOTHIE was, but their other items are actually pretty ok! read more

Love the boba milk tea. Great service. Clean. Menu is very visual. Keep up the good work.

Just went there for their creamy veggie ramen, japanese fries, and peach slushie boba drink. Simply Amazing. Their menu has a variety, so you can choose different Japanese dishes. The cafe also has wifi, which is really nice. My two gripes is that the restaurant closes on Saturdays which i'm not sure why. I believe the restaurant could have better business if they were open on Saturday. Also, on the far end of the restaurant thy have an odd smell, I don't know if it comes from the restroom. Anyways it's a wonderful restaurant and the staff has fast service and nice. read more

This is my go to place for some local ramen. I always get the shio ramen and it's pretty packed with flavors. Each entree comes with a free drink, and I love pairing my ramen with some green tea. It's a great location right next to school and it's also cozy enough in the back to do some studying when I need to. The staff is always super friendly and at some point I was going so much that the girl at the front knew my order by heart (oops hehe). But I definitely recommend this place for a quick lunch between classes! It's a little on the pricey side, but if you can afford it then do it! Oh and also the rice plates! Those are pretty delishh too! I like the minced pork and tofu plate (forgot the exact name) but great flavor! I'm a big fan of dried tofu and green onions, mmmmm... read more

If you're looking for a great place to study,chill or for a cute little first date, this is your place! The people are so nice and the food is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Always come here all the time with my boyfriend . I love the Miso-Udon Soup that comes with shrimp tempura and a free drink. (The list of free drinks are on the board with the specials. If you get a different drink, it's full price . I always get a classic milk tea.) read more

This was my first time visiting this establishment and I have to say I was quite pleased. I had Curry Ramen and the Texas Roll wasn't as spectacular as it sounds. (smoked salmon,cream cheese, mango) The mango didn't seem to compliment the smoked salmon to me but the salmon tasted fresh and was actually really good. My cup of Jasmine tea was quite the surprise as with most places you get a subtle hint of the Jasmine flavor. The Jasmine flavor was so strong to the point of tasting like Jasmine perfume after adding more water it was perfect. I think Yelp got their pricing category all wrong as the roll was quite small and overpriced for the ingredients it contained my Ramen was good but for all 3 items my total came out to just under $18 read more

Average food and average drinks. Pictures and descriptions are very misleading. I ordered what was supposed to be a kiwi "fresh smoothie" and got a cup of neon green corn syrup mixed in ice. Arlington is lacking in decent bubble tea places so this shouldn't be shocking. read more

I liked this place. They had a nice set up with booths that felt sectioned off for good privacy. There were electrical outlets available at about 1/2 of the tables in the side room that I was in, which is great for laptop use. They also have free internet, a major plus. Their hot mocha was pretty good, and similar to Starbucks price-wise. They had some neat Japanese pastries and things that led to a cool atmosphere. The wait staff was very nice and made me feel welcome. I also noticed that their sushi rolls were very reasonably priced, or at least it seemed that way but as I didn't have one I am not sure how big they are. Overall a pleasant experience, will definitely give it another visit and try the food next time. read more

I came here with my boyfriend right before he had to go to work. It was on the way to his job and we were wanting something a bit different but yummy. I was pleasantly surprised and quite thrilled almost immediately. The waitstaff at the counter could tell almost right away that we were first-timers and were more than happy to give us personal recommendations and inform us of certain drinks that were free with entree orders. They overheard us talking about my boyfriend being short on time and went out of their way to find out how much time he had, how long it would take for him to get to work, and make sure the kitchen staff worked on his food first and got it out quickly so he could make it on time. I was highly impressed with the level of customer service, teamwork, concern, and care each member of the staff gave our needs. We will definitely be coming back and will be bringing plenty of friends to enjoy this comforting, friendly, and attentive place. The food was fantastic, expertly presented, delightful to the palatte, and truly a little touch of Asian culture right in the middle of Arlington, Texas. Thanks, iCafe, for making our first experience such a remarkable and pleasantly unforgettable one! read more

One of the top boba places in the metroplex for milk teas. I usually get the Assam Milk Tea with Boba, which is considered the "regular" milk tea flavor. Prices are affordable, $2.50 for a small and $3.00 for a large before toppings, which are $0.50 each. The only knock against them is that they are closed on Saturdays and the place has a pungent smell when you walk in. read more

This place was okay, my sister and I sat in the back and there was a weird smell. I guess it's alright for college students that want Asian food close to the college, but honestly there are way better places and cheaper. read more

hi all, First of all, i highly recommend this place. i go to uta and i didnt know this place is open until i went inside. the inside actually looks really nice and modern and the service is really nice. the employees are super friendly and welcoming. i ordered the milk tea, and it fits just right for my taste, not sweet, not too milky like bethanies. for food, i got the tonkasu ramen. It was fresh and delicious. the place also provides wifi just like starbucks! i got alot of homework done. yall are the best!! no more bethany's for me. read more

Only had drinks here and was very refreshing. This seemed like a nice place to study or catch up with friends. I had the milk tea and it was yummy! After I had ordered, I noticed they also had ice blended salted caramel latte. I'll have to try that next time. Their chocolate syrups were made using Ghirardelli flavors and a friend had their mocha and said it was rich and delicious! They also have a loyalty app program for frequent buyers - I signed up of course :) read more

A bit over priced but the food was decent! I had the Herb Beef Noodle Soup and it was good! The serving size was huge and I wasn't able to finish it. The matcha Thai milk drink was delicious!! Will probably come here again so that I can try some of the other dishes here. Has some of my friends Chicken curry and that was pretty good as well. read more

I have been here a couple times. Reasonable price. Nice place to hang out or study. The food tastes ok. Not anything to wow about. But very consistent. You won't be disappointed. I like the plum green tea and the red bean macha green tea. The coffee is good too I would say this is my most favorite boba place in Arlington. I live in another town that does not have boba tea so I usually stop by this place and get a couple drinks to bring home. read more

The passion fruit tea here is the best. We ordered their new Japanese fries, it was good but very small portion. Sushi and Ramen noodle is okay but their dessert is really good too. Great atmosphere! read more

iCafe is a great spot for a quick lunch or snack. The prices are very reasonable. Try the salmon fried rice or minced pork. Actually, everything I have ordered here is great. They compete with local favorites like Bethany and hold their own. The staff is always quite friendly and helpful. Be sure to leave a tip!! read more

first， this is a fake Japanese resturant owned by people fromTaiwan. The food there tasted below avarage. I got a really bad service by its manager. Here is the story， I ordered a ramen but they gave me an udon. So I asked the waitress for an exchange. a moment later，the mamaget came and said "did u eat it? if u touched it，we cant exchsnge because we cannot resell it"what the fk? resell the noodle soup?! r u going to sell this to another customer if I told u I didnt eat it? I already put my spicy oil in it. the noodle is in the soup，if i dont touch it how do i know its wrong. Here came the worst part， I saw the manager got the udon out and put the ramen into my bowl. Yes，in the same bowl same soup without making a new one. read more

The food is ok but drink is not the best. Bethany and bamboo.cafe milk tea is better.

This place is a clean, friendly, and nice little spot to study, take the family, meet for coffee or just sit alone! The service is friendly, but the cashier needed to know more about what he was selling!:) I only got a chai tea. It was good, but I would like to try some more of their foods soon! Then I may be back to rate again. read more

Always has specials! Great place to read. With purchase you get a wifi password right next to UTA

Love the atmosphere and the ramen!!! Such a quaint little place close to home and the university. The menu is small and you order at the register to have them bring it to you. It's a nice place to go in search of comfort food. The drinks are pretty good too. Also, there is a small collection of manga on one side of the wall for all those who like anime. I would definitely come again. read more

Super delish, been going once a week for a year now. Food is always good and the employees are all nice.

The food is just ok, you paid for what you get, but the drink is great. I ordered a Mango green tea, the bubble is soft and chewy, the green tea is not too sweet even after Mango syrup read more

Cute little place!!! The employees had no personality whatsoever. The " owner" took our order. Didn't even want to make me a chai tea with boba, she said she didn't know what that is. There's a saying.." looks can be deceiving" may look good but over all poor customer service!!! read more

Food is good! You come in, order/pay/get a number, then they serve the food to you. Good tastes fresh, and when you walk in there's a screen in front of the cashier that displays pictures of most of the menu items. Bonus, free drink with purchase of an entree. I've had the Japanese curry chicken and minced pork and both were tasty :) Place is clean and great for studying or socializing! read more

first time i went here, i had the sushi and ramen and both were not so yum... trying to find a good spot for ramen is difficult in the dfw area and i figured i would give it a shot, but it wasnt so flavorful and the pork was over cooked! sushi also tasted a bit fishy and not so fresh. I went the second time and got the udon and curry ton katsu. udon was ok, but again the pork was over cooked and the tonkatsu portion is pretty small but it was ok! all in all its not greath, but its nice hangout spot and boba is decent read more
