First time here and I tried the strawberry matcha latte and the matcha and milk swirl soft serve. The strawberry matcha latte tastes like any other strawberry matcha latte, bitterness from the matcha with the mix of sweetness from the strawberries. It's not too bitter which I like The matcha and milk swirl tastes like matcha and the "milk swirl" tastes like the white rabbit candy. That's the best way I could describe the flavor. So if you like white rabbit candy, you should def try it! Overall I enjoyed it and I would come back again :) read more

when I tell my boyfriend I'm craving a matcha, and he offers Serramonte mall, I never really knew if he means Starbucks or a hidden gem. Turns out, it's more of an underrated lil treat. Matcha Ren, the lil kiosk shop near the photo op for holidays/by JD shoes. It's a screen order system so you can customize it before the receipt gets printed for the barista. Boyfriend did a "prank" and put "please make with love" and the baristas laughed, but why was his slightly sweeter than mine? Coincidence? I think NOT. Now, back to the drinks. Mango matcha is a new drink hyperfixation for the boyfriend, it's sweet, easy to drink, and they do double shots of matcha (hence the color as dark as my soul). Blueberry matcha is good too, not super sweet but definitely freshly muddled which is perfect. We'll definitely be back! read more

I stopped by for their BOGO drinks this past weekend for their matcha lattes. I came on Sunday and there was a short line. There were 3 employees working and the line moved pretty slow. They took orders for a couple of customers and then stopped to make the drinks. The offer was valid for 3 specific drinks: ube toasted coconut, crème brûlée or oreo matcha affogato. We got the ube and creme brûlée. I didn't see any toppings listed on their menu. It would have been nice to have some boba. Both drinks had a good strong matcha flavor but tasted a bit grainy/powdery to me. The ube cream mixed well into the drink and the ube flavor was noticeable. The creme brûlée was mid. I wished the sugar was torched a bit longer to create that crunchy sugary top. It didn't really enhance the drink once mixed and just tasted like a regular matcha latte. read more

I have been a few times now where they are out of the Hokkaido milk soft serve which is always such a letdown. Why are they always out? It's so disappointing because I specifically go to serramonte with the hope of getting that soft serve and they always seem to be out. read more

Matcha Ren is located in the middle of the mall and with all the hype around matcha everywhereso of course we also fell for this... what I don't like about a lot of these dessert type of places now is there is literally zero human interaction. There is only one kiosk to order from so the wait can be long. What's even more annoying is that when they're done with your order, they just leave it at the counter for pick up and don't even bother calling out the number -- how lazy can you get?? Anybody can just come up and grab your order. I also didn't get a text that my order was ready! C'mon and you're asking me to tip you? For what... Matcha Mont Blanc Softserve $10.11 with tax included. We saw this spaghetti matcha on TikTok but in actuality, I don't understand how this adds to the overall flavor of the dessert. Also they swirl the soft serve around the edge of the cup so that the middle is actually hollow -- so basically you get less for what you paid -- thumbs down read more

Opening weekend was amazing. Long anticipated Matcha Ren opening close to home, sparing us the 70-mile round trip to their San Jose location. The kiosk is no-frills and easy to spot in the center of the mall by the fountain (formerly their sister spot, Mochill). But every visit since has gone downhill from the lack of service by the monotone, resting-betch faces at the register and pickup counter to the slipping quality & shrinking portions. The drinks barely taste like matcha now, and the soft serve is hella skimpy. I'm so sad. Has it just been three off visits? Should we give them a fourth try? At this point, I'm not sure the prices justify another chance rn. Might have to head back to San Jose where their flavors, quality, and portions remain consistent for years. read more

It was my first time walking around this area, and I was in the mood to try something matcha-based. This shop immediately caught my eye--the desserts looked beautiful and very tempting. I decided to try the Strawberry Mont Blanc Parfait ($10) and a Strawberry Daifuku ($4.80). The staff let me know that they were out of whipped cream, so they substituted custard instead, which I appreciated them explaining upfront. When the parfait was placed on the counter, it accidentally tipped over, so it didn't look as pretty as expected (you can see that in the photo). I told the staff it was totally fine and that I could still enjoy it--I really didn't mind. They were incredibly sweet and grateful, and as a kind gesture, they gave me an extra daifuku for free. The staff even offered to remake the parfait, but I declined since the shop was quite busy and I didn't want them to feel rushed. Honestly, the service here really stood out--very thoughtful and warm. As for the food, it wasn't amazing, but it definitely wasn't bad either. Overall, it was enjoyable and satisfying. I especially liked that the matcha flavor was rich and not overly sweet, which is perfect for me since I don't enjoy desserts that are too sugary. The shop is located inside a mall, so it can get crowded, and you may need to wait in line at times. Still, with such kind service and decent matcha desserts, it's a nice place to stop by if you're in the area. read more

This is my first time here, but I always see the spaghetti matcha soft serve on tiktok. I went for the mochi treats to eat when I get home. The line wasn't too busy and I was helped right away. I quickly scanned what they have and saw a chocolate strawberry mochi and matcha strawberry mochi. I was low key disappointed when I opened it that the mochi was cut in half and a strawberry was placed in the middle.. but I honestly didn't know what I was expecting. The chocolate mochi was alright but tasted artificial in flavor if that makes sense. The strawberry was juicy and tart. Sadly, this is something I'll pass on next time. The matcha strawberry mochi on the other hand was everything I wanted and more. I'll definitely come back for this next time. Prices seemed high at first but honestly reasonably priced. read more

Needed a matcha fix after an hour drive across the bridge during a hectic morning commute. The matcha latte wasn't too sweet with almond milk and the chocolate strawberry mochi was alright.

Great service and great soft serve. Matcha Ren is stationed in the middle of the Serramonte mall, which makes it easy to locate and get to. I tried the matcha soft serve, it was better than I expected. The staff were friendly and helpful when deciding. I noticed they used Crystal Geyser water for their lattes, instead of regular tap water, which is a plus. I'll come back to try the matcha lattes next time. read more

When one concept is slipping or not doing well. Pivot. And, rebrand to something "trendy". Matcha has been around but they've been blowing up in the last several years. With Amausaan Uji Matcha closed, I guess it makes sense to open Matcha REN. This week, Mochill Mochi Donuts has rebranded to Matcha REN (same company). They legit transformed Mochill overnight to Matcha REN. Impressive. They're located at the water fountain area of SerraManila (mall is dog friendly). The company also owns Takoyaki Yama-Chan (J Town + Mitsuwa) and Mochi-Ya REN (Mitsuwa). M E N U Soft serve: matcha or hokkaido milk, crêpes (rice flour), freshly made mochi, shakes, mont blanc, and more. They also sell the same matcha drinks as Mochill (hand whisked to order). No more mochi donuts. Grand opening promo 9/12/25-9/14/25: 50% off drinks and soft serve only. D E S S E R T Strawberry Mont Blanc Parfait ($10): https://tinyurl.com/5tz9m2se - Regular price, not 50% off Gimmick or nah? The matcha mont blanc has been a viral dessert but I haven't had the chance to try it at their sister business Mochi-ya Ren in Mitsuwa (SJ). A layer of strawberry puree with clear jelly cubes, QQ dango mochi-like rice balls, and cereal are topped with creamy hokkaido + matcha soft serve that's crowned with matcha anko (white bean paste) extruded into the shape of vermicelli noodles like the French and Japanese chestnut dessert. While this got mixed reviews from their other locations, I enjoyed it. Strong matcha flavor with the earthy bitterness balanced by the sweet ripen strawberries and nutty "mont blanc". Not too sweet but the hokkaido soft serve was lacking a milky flavor. S E R V I C E Order took a long time (20 minutes) because today is the first day. They didn't have a soft opening to practice so the staff was trying to figure things out. Overall, Matcha REN is a welcome addition to SerraManila that's becoming a hub for AZN cuisine like nearby Stonestown. Up next is Koi Palace, Marufuku Ramen, and HaiDiLao in SerraManila....talk about a glow up of one of my childhood malls! read more

First off this grand opening is highly disorganized with not enough staff to accommodate this fairly small 20 person line. I understand things are made by hand, but the line take about 10 minutes per person. There were elderly people who thankfully had a place to sit as they waited around the fountain. When we finally got to the front they said the reason is they are STILL training everyone and we the customers are the guinea pigs basically. Okay so the strawberry matcha was very watery because they mixed the matcha with too much water. Also there seems to be some clumps in other people's drinks. They need to get their act together. Total wait time was a little over an hour for 50% off of drink which is NOT worth it. read more

I looove matcha and was so excited about this place after hearing about the weekend promo, but sadly left underwhelmed and disappointed in what we got. I'm hoping the quality of their items improve with time since they're brand new! I understand that they were super busy on their opening weekend, so this review largely excludes the service aspect. But just for context, we waited in line for around 40 min, then another 10-15 minutes for our order. Strawberry Mont Blanc Parfait (full price $10) = 2.5/5 Interesting concept and looks really cool, but based on how small it is, it's not worth the price in my opinion. My partner enjoyed it more than I did, so it's also based on taste preference. I didn't take the best photo of it, but due to how they fill the cup, there are also pockets of air between the layers of cereal/jelly and the ice cream which makes it even less filling. Banana Cream Matcha Latte (full price $6.75, purchased for half price $3.37) = 1/5 Super watered-down to the point that it tasted like weak banana water to me. I did substitute for oat milk so not sure if that played a role. I barely tasted any matcha. I feel bad leaving this review but I'm really hoping this place improves because I love the idea of a new matcha place in Serramonte. I think I'll wait a while for them to get the hang of things and hopefully improve their matcha lattes before trying again! read more

I stopped by Matcha Ren for their grand opening at Serramonte Mall. It's right in the middle of the mall in front of the fountain -- the spot where Mochill used to be -- so it's easy to find and in a busy area. As expected for a grand opening, there was a bit of a line, but it moved at a decent pace. I ordered the matcha soft serve while my friend tried the matcha soda. The soft serve had a nice, authentic matcha flavor, though it wasn't as creamy as I personally like. The matcha soda was unique -- fizzy, refreshing, and a fun way to enjoy matcha with a twist. Overall, Matcha Ren is a welcome addition to Serramonte Mall for matcha lovers. read more

waited about 35mins in line to order, and 5mins for our order to be prepared. I noticed there were about 8-9 employees there but only 3-4 were actually making drinks and food--1 was just taking orders and the rest seemed to be stock taking or doing behind-the-scenes things (one was just taking videos, probably for marketing). it was evident that many of the staff were new as they were referring to recipe sheets as they prepared the drinks. unfortunately this manifested in pretty slow preparation and thus the long lines. I understand the grand opening hype but I think they could have been staffed in abundance for opening weekend. nevertheless, I enjoyed the strawberry mont blanc parfait ($10)--pricey for the size but the matcha soft serve was sufficiently strong and the chestnut paste was nutty yet still tasted of matcha. the original iced oat matcha latte ($6.25) was just alright, it was a bit sweet for me (either the oat milk and/or the pre-made matcha was sweetened). despite being 50% off, it was disappointing to see them only fill the cup 3/4 full. read more

Ordered the Mont Blanc. The ice cream didn't have a strong matcha taste. The top matcha bean paste "spaghetti" was interesting but not my favorite texture.

*50% off drinks and soft serve until tomorrow (9/14/25)!* It was ~30 minute wait to order, and another ~10 minute wait to receive our drink and soft serves. Our order: Matcha Dango Soft Serve: $3.70 (regular price $7.40) +Strong matcha flavor -Soft serve melted quickly. -Dango were chewy, but had no flavor. Mango Milk Soft Serve: $3.55 (regular price $7.10) +I was expecting the soft serve to be light in flavor, but it was SO rich and milky. +Mango puree was fruity and refreshing. -Soft serve melted quickly. Sakura Foam Matcha Latte: $3.25 (regular price $6.50) +Fragrant floral notes without tasting like perfume +No upcharge for no ice +Pink and green hues made for an aesthetically pleasing drink. +/-It tasted more like rose than cherry blossom and was topped with rose petals. I didn't mind, but if you're expecting cherry blossom you'll probably be disappointed. -Compared to the soft serve, the matcha was very faint. I saw the employees pour premade matcha from a pitcher (vs whisking to order). Side notes: 1.) It's a grab and go spot, but there are chairs & tables around the mall. 2.) Free parking in the Serramonte parking lot *Verdict: If there wasn't a wait, I wouldn't mind stopping by for a Mont Blanc or Mochi Crêpe. read more

I was excited to see a matcha place in the mall. The blueberry matcha was good with strong notes of blueberry flavor that overpowered the matcha. I was impressed the workers hand whisking the matcha to order. What left me disappointed was the matcha crepe. The mochi in the crepe was totally inedible. It was hard and did not have the typical bouncy chew to a mochi. The wait for the crepe was also terribly long. The worker preparing the crepe was just inefficient. It was not worth the wait. I may stop by to try another matcha drink but I will definitely not get another crepe. read more

New Matcha place located inside the Serramonte Mall. I was initially excited seeing since Matcha Ren is a popular matcha brand in Japan; however, left feeling a little underwhelmed. The matcha strawberry latte was pretty average. Nothing really stood out in matcha taste though I was initially excited seeing the person mix the matcha by hand in the porcelain bowl. The matcha taste could be a little more pronounced. There are certainly better matcha drinks in San Francisco including one on Clement and another one in the Marina. The cream brûlée crepe was a little too sweet and did not have much matcha flavor as well. read more

This place took over the Mochill spot in the middle of Serramonte Shopping Center. Grand Opening weekend. Half off drinks and soft serves. That was a definite plus....but the line wrapped around to the other side of the fountain at 11:15am Sunday morning (They open at 11). The line took roughly 30-35 minutes to get to the register. Then had to wait another 5-10 minutes for my order. I ordered a Matcha Latte and a Matcha Dango. The Latte was tasty, but it seemed a bit watered down. The Matcha Dango was very good, but as another Yelper said, the rice balls did not have any flavor at all. It was also on the small side. I would not buy this at the $7.40 regular price. read more

Came here for the grand opening and was unfortunately quite disappointed. 3 stars is a little bit generous imo but I assume they are still ironing some of the kinks out in their first few weeks. First of all, I have a lot to say about their operations. I understand that they don't want customers to wait super long between ordering and receiving their orders (or maybe it's so the employees aren't overwhelmed with orders) - but taking ~3 orders every 10 mins or so is not the way to do it!! Especially when the cashier doesn't have anything to do when she's waiting for drink orders to process before taking more orders. A lot of popular boba shops continually process orders, and text customers when their orders are ready. This is actually an ideal process for Matcha Ren since it is located inside a mall so customers can walk around the mall while waiting for their order. When I visited, the biggest bottleneck was the drink making. Most customers ordered at least one drink, but only some people ordered desserts. But there was just one poor guy whisking matcha nonstop, and there were two employees making the base of the drinks. Meanwhile, you have one cashier idle half the time and 2-3 others working on prepping desserts (which I think could be done prior to store opening)...there has to be a more efficient way to run the operations. When I walked past the shop after lunch, I noticed they pivoted to pre-batched matcha...which I guess is a way to solve the drink bottleneck. Now onto the drinks. They're just okay, unfortunately. Quality of the matcha is not as good as the better matcha places in the Bay. The strawberry in the strawberry matcha was overpowering and also a bit too sweet. Also...for oat milk, I noticed they use the oat beverage from Costco. Feels like a scam to charge $1 extra for mid tier "oat milk". Oh, quality control was also off. If you look at my photo, my cup was only 90% filled, while the same drink behind mine (someone else's order) was 100% filled. I'm not complaining because the difference is just milk but drinks should be consistent. So yeah, even though were was a 50% discount for grand opening, I was not very happy about waiting an hour for mid matcha. Hopefully they're able to fix a few things after the first few weeks. read more

Came here for the grand opening! They were having 50% off drinks and soft serves, and the line was incredibly long HAHA Started lining up a little after 6pm on Sunday, waited 40 min in line, and my order was ready in a little less than 15 min - Matcha Latte - based on what I could tell from the color and taste, they use a lower grade of matcha (and as if to confirm this, the remnants of my drink started turning yellow on the short drive back home lol), but they add enough sweetness so that the drink is still palatable. Looked like ice took up about half the cup, so you're definitely getting less of the drink itself. If you're getting a matcha soft serve as well, I'd recommend drinking the matcha latte first, since the flavor of the soft serve is stronger, and you might not taste the matcha latte as much if you have it after the soft serve - Matcha Dango - the soft serve was not icy, which I appreciated. You can definitely taste the bitterness of the matcha, but it was less of a concentrated high-quality bitter matcha taste and more of a lower-quality bitter matcha taste. The dango was soft and chewy but flavorless I could pay less than $1 more than their full price to get a way better matcha latte elsewhere in the bay (e.g., Komeya no Bento in SF), so I don't really see myself coming back, but if you're really craving matcha and in the area, assuming the wait isn't long, it's a convenient place to maybe satisfy that craving read more

Holy airballs! The line is looong! I was there during their buy one get one 50% off drinks and soft serve deal. Here's my impressions Service: a little slow but maybe they're on a learning curve. This is only their day two. Some of the workers have gloves on but the gloves look like it's been worn for several hours without being changed. This is fine for the person who's a cashier but I got a little spook seeing people preparing my food wearing the same glovE, touching surfaces/their face, AND then proceed to prepare the order with the same gloves. No, thanks Ambiance: it's situated in the middle of the mall so do not expect sit down. Once you have ordered , please be prepared to wait around. The pick up counter was a bit chaotic and the person manning this counter has order on top of one another while continuing doing other orders with gloves that touch surfaces. Food: I got Mont Blanc Matcha and matcha soft serve. Mont Blanc one has spaghetti like strings on top so it intensifies the matcha flavor. It's $10 for the Mont Blanc and $6+ for the soft serve. Honestly? Just skip the Mont Blanc bc the cup size of both and similar. Plus, they're a bit stingy on filling soft serve up into the cup so I felt like I got less bang for my bucks read more

Today is the grand opening of Matcha Ren in the same location as Mochill, which is no longer there. Currently, only drinks and soft serve are 50% off till 9/14. We ordered the strawberry Montblanc parfait, which had jelly, cornflakes, ice cream and topped with green chestnut spaghetti. It had so many layers of textures and the chestnut was so delicious $10. Black sesame milk soft serve and Mango milk soft serve, 50% off $3.55. The purees were very flavorful and really complimented the soft serve ice cream. This place reminds me of Maiko Matcha but this place has mochi ice cream, crepes and their signature Montblanc. Overall, a great addition to the Serramonte mall. read more

The matcha drinks were decent. We also tried the crepes, but they're served wrapped in plastic, which became a problem as the crepe and ice cream melted -- would be much better served on a plate.

I happened to be at Serramonte today, saw Matcha Ren and decided to give it a try since there was no line. I ordered the matcha latte and watched the worker make it like a hawk because I'm crazy like that sometimes. She added the syrup, set the cup on a scale, poured the milk, added ice and then to my surprise, walked to the side and whisked the matcha right in front of me. YESSSS! I've finally found another matcha spot that makes their matcha to order. Even the matcha spots in Japantown don't do this! Again, there was a scale and it seems like the worker made everything pretty precisely which is awesome. It's important to have consistency and you can't go wrong if you're weighing/measuring every step instead of using them eyeballs. I was really excited to drink it and when I did, I was pleasantly surprised. It was delicious! Matcha flavor was good. It wasn't too milky and it was the perfect sweetness for me (I got 2 pumps of syrup instead of their usual 3). To me, the drink itself was 5 stars. It really hit the spot. I docked a star because of the matcha whisking station. After my matcha latte was done, the worker left the whisking station as is. She didn't clean or rinse the whisk or bowl. The bowl actually still had matcha in there, but there was no one in line after me. The whisk looked like it had old matcha clumps stuck to it. I didn't expect them to use a fresh, clean whisk or bowl every time, but I thought they would at least rinse them with hot water so the next drink doesn't end up tasting off. I'll still be back though. :) read more

Lazy man's flavored ice cream. Never seen anything like it. The flavor comes from the sloppy drizzle on top and it isn't even dispersed evenly in the middle of the swirl of the soft serve but just on top. $6 for this. This was sesame, tastes like the sesame paste dessert soup though. read more

This was one of the worst matchas I've ever had. I ordered a matcha latte and it was the most bland thing I've ever tasted. It was mostly milk and I could tell by how white the cup was and how little matcha there was before I mixed it that it wasn't going to be good. It tasted super bland and tasted like super diluted watery milk. It was terrible and I wasted $8 (they up charged me $1 to sub for almond milk - $1 is outrageous) and I wish i could get my money back. Starbucks makes better matcha than this.

A small matcha stand located next to the fountain area inside Serramonte Mall. They serve fresh mochi, along with a variety of other matcha drinks and desserts. The matcha strawberry mochi has a decent matcha flavor coming from the mochi skin and the lima bean paste pairs nice with the sweetness and juiciness of the strawberry. The strawberry chocolate mochi is more decadent and rich, with a chocolate red bean paste. The mochis are also served with a piece of string to cut through the middle, which makes it a fun eating experience. It is a bit on the pricier side (4.80 for 1 piece; 15.82 for 3 pieces including tax), but its a nice sweet treat to get once in a while. read more

The matcha ice cream here is potent, flavorful and absolutely enjoyable. If you're able to grab an empty table to sit and enjoy, even better. However, the service has been slow every time we've been in line. I understand the workers need time to build each custom order, but it would be great to at least see a bit more hustle, especially when there's a long line. It would be awesome for them to proactively acknowledge or greet their customers in line by letting them know "I'll be right with you" or something similar. Otherwise, if you want great tasting matcha ice cream and have at least 30+ mins to spare, try them out. read more

I see that this is a newly opened spot, so I didn't want to rate too harshly. I ordered mango milk, matcha mochi and matcha americano. The mango milk was ok, but a bit too sweet for my taste.

Oddly they don't have anything unsweetened on the menu. read more

diluted matcha latte sadly... i was looking forward to a sweet and balanced matcha but all it tasted like was watery matcha with a splash of milk & barely any sweetener. I'm hoping that this is just because the workers are still handling the rushes & hopefully they work on improving the drinks. The workers need some more training because I'd notice some of them looked lost, slow, and overwhelmed at times, hoping that they have a dedicated training day to improve this! I tried: -matcha latte (almond milk) -banana cream matcha latte (almond milk) -hokkaido milk ice cream w cone I'll be back again after they improve. In the meantime , I'll just stick with the Sj location since the drinks/desserts at that location are really good read more

Matcha Ren just opened at Serramonte Mall, and it's a great new spot for matcha lovers! It's located right in the middle of the mall and has lots of matcha options to choose from including drinks, soft serve, crepes, and mochi.

The black sesame milk soft serve was good and the flavor paired nicely with hokkaido milk. The creme brulee crepe was creamy on the inside, and not overly sweet. I also tried the strawberry matcha latte and hojicha latte. I couldn't really taste the matcha in the drink and the strawberry overpowered the matcha. Overall, great addition to the mall. read more
