    Nanban chicken
    Mary W.

    2nd time here! Best parfait, must visit when you visit Seattle! Their matcha parfait just so good, that it will wow you!

    Chicken Katsu Curry & Hoji-Cha
    Isaac H.

    Amazing food and amazing vibes! Came here for the tea, Hoji-cha specifically, and it was fulfilling. The chicken katsu curry was tasted great, my only gripe is that I wish it was sweeter and/or spicier, or at least have the option to do so. I believe this place is known for their matcha and from what I saw with other customers, it looked good!

    Matcha Vanilla Swirl with mochi
    Danielle P.

    Had this for the first time in Hawaii and loved it. But, I was disappointed with this location... Nana's green tea specializes in Japanese desserts mainly being matcha and hojicha. This location had an inside with lots of seating, greenery, and even savory food options for lunch like katsu plates. Their service is really efficient and the workers were moving pretty fast when it came to serving for those dining in or takeout. They had a sign for takeout seating being only outside, but this is probably in the case of when they reach capacity inside because they didn't seem to care when people stayed in! I got my classic matcha vanilla swirl with added mochi. It was very vanilla heavy not much matcha and the mochi was kind of hard? Adding mochi already costs an extra couple of bucks so I was let down by that. Just seemed like the quality wasn't that great at this location, but still enjoyed the ambiance and soft serve!

    Black Sesame Mochi Parfait
    Jia W.

    My sweet tooth and Asian desserts cannot be separated. Nana's Green Tea has been such a reliable place for a sweet treat! There's variety, whether you're into black sesame, matcha, hojicha, and or red bean. My go-to order has always been the black sesame mochi parfait or black sesame warabi mochi parfait. It's creamy, nutty, crunchy, and chewy in all the right ways! Truly a textural experience in your mouth with the mochi, the black sesame ice cream, and the corn flakes. I find myself indulging in every bite! In terms of the ambiance, it's giving minimalist chic. By no means is it a party spot, but if you want to eat something delicious while pretending you're in a cafe in Japan, this is your spot. I have been meaning to try their other desserts...I will surely report back when I do! The hot food also appears promising and I will surely give it a try next time I'm at Nana's!

    Came here for quick coffee/ match fix! The service was attentive and fast. It wasn't too busy around the morning The ambiance is quiet and clean. You are able to sit down and work/study for a bit if needed!

    Came for desserts. Not bad to satisfy our sweet tooth. If you're not into green tea then keep scrolling. If you're thinking about come here as a big group then keep scrolling...unless you're planning to head over when it's not a busy time. Seating is challenging. If you do decide to come by, be courteous for other guests and limit your time after you're all done enjoying your desserts. Thank you! :)

    Black Sesame Ice Cream
    Michelle L.

    Been on my list for a while now, so I was super excited to finally check it out! Came on a Friday in a group of 4 a little after 5:30 after checking out the Amazon Spheres. Wait was really short, and we were at the front in a few minutes. Things I tried: - Matcha Ice Cream - I think my expectations were a little too high because I thought the ice cream was a little too bitter lol. I've tried the seven different levels of matcha ice cream in Japan and actually really enjoyed the seventh and most bitter level, but the matcha ice cream here seemed to be a little too bitter without enough of the punch of matcha to go alongside it - Black Sesame Ice Cream - will definitely be getting this the next time I visit a Nana's Green Tea! This was so good and almost felt like you were eating the inside of a black sesame bun from an Asian bakery Would be opening to coming back and trying their parfaits and other ice cream flavors (and would come back for their black sesame ice cream)!

    Nana's Green Tea has always been my go to for quick yet satisfying lunch place. You order from the counter once walking in, then seat yourself with a number, and the food will be brought out to you. Chicken Nanban rice place comes with miso soup, salad, and potato salad. The chicken crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, which pairs perfectly with rice. I didn't get matcha drinks this time, but they were also good when I had it before. Now the not so good part. You will need to clean the table yourself by bringing plates to the the dirty dishes area, which had a lot of flies. It's kinda gross. The place has a lot of echoing. There was a large group who were quite loud, and even my noise canceling headphones could not completely block out the noise. So if you want to come to study/work, it may not be the place...

    Matcha Mochi Parfait
    Sam M.

    Very great spot for some green tea and matcha! Service was nice and friendly! We had their Matcha Mochi Parfait and had a good time here! Great snack! The place itself is really nice as well!

    Hojicha Mochi Parfait
    Michelle Z.

    I love nana's green tea. I think it's definitely one of the best places to get a matcha latte in Seattle and you know that the quality is good every time. I love getting their parfaits and it's shareable with a friend or two. They have pretty fast service and it's a great spot to study or do some work. I got their hojicha parfait this time and the ice cream had a perfect balance of nutty and sweet. The mochi was chewy and had a good bounce to it and I loved the jelly at the bottom.

    Matcha Matcha Mochi Parfait
    Suki Z.

    Disclaimer that I was one of the first few patrons in the morning as they opened! I ordered the matcha mochi parfait which comes with one scoop of matcha ice cream, 3 mochi balls, 1 scoop of sweet red bean paste, whipped cream with matcha syrup on top of vanilla ice cream. Below the vanilla ice cream are matcha jelly cubes in syrup. The ambiance is beautiful and the staff brought our order to our table. We picked up a number plate and chose our own seat. There is a fair amount of indoor seating and outdoor seating if needed. The matcha ice cream has a strong matcha taste as opposed to sweet. The red bean paste tasted overly sweet on the flip side. I think they were meant to compliment each other but the red bean paste was very overpowering. The flakes added really nice texture and reminded me of my childhood. The mochi wasn't anything crazy-- chewy but didn't have any flavor on their own. One of the matcha jelly pieces I bit seemed to have some ice crystals on one end. The bussing station had plastic parfait spoons so it was process to share the parfait between two people!

    Came here after checking into my hotel. Solid proportions and pretty good taste. Got the Katsu Curry with miso soup and it filled me up. I ordered dessert but that was too much haha. It's a more casual restaurant, order at the front and then they bring u the food. Was able to find a table and the food was quick. Was enjoyable eat alone with the ambiance. Would recommend!

    Sweet Potato Mont Blanc
    Dominique A.

    I've been eyeing Nana's Green Tea ever since moving here two years ago and wow, it absolutely lived up to the hype. This place is a matcha lover's dream. I had the black sesame frappe with mochi, which was rich, nutty, and perfectly balanced: not too sweet (I'm not a sweetened matcha person), just right. My partner got the seasonal purple sweet potato latte and it was stunning both visually and flavor-wise. The drinks are so unique, we both enjoyed the elements we had to enjoy with a spoon. We also grabbed the sweet potato Mont Blanc to share later, and honestly, I'm still thinking about it. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, high-quality and thoughtful. Yes, it's a bit on the pricey side, but the quality makes it feel mostly worth it. This was easily some of the best matcha I've ever had: super smooth, earthy, rich and vibrant. The space itself is also lovely: bright, open, and super inviting. Plenty of seating indoors or out if that's your jam, whether you want to chill solo (I saw some folks working on laptops) or catch up with friends. We're already planning our return visit, but next time, we're staying for food too!

    Ask the Community - Nana’s Green Tea

    Does your almond milk have sugar? I'm looking for unsweetened almond milk option

    No added sugar from my previous order /experience. It wasn't sweetened.

    Is this a place that is reasonable to do work on a laptop?

    Yes it is! Not too loud and lots of space

    Is there any gluten free options for the food?

    Most of their desserts are not gluten free but they have soft serve that could be gluten free as well as some or their rice bowls without the fried items.

    Do you guys accept cash?

    Hi Simon, we don't have any cash drawers to give change, so we can accept cash if there is an exact amount. We accept all credit cards, apple pay, google pay, and all the other methods of paying with a phone.

    Do you ice cream and parfaits have gelatin?

    Ice cream by itself no, parfaits have pudding on the bottom which does but it can be made without pudding.

    Is it open for indoor seating already?

    Yes

    Is the karaage gluten free?

    No it's not unfortunately, there is soy sauce in the marinade. Our Salmon Sashimi Don (without sauce) is the best GF option!

    Do they have AC?

    Due to COVID they only have outside seating at the moment. The inside does have AC but it will probably be on when indoor seating starts again.

    Is the ice cream pasteurized? Is it safe for pregnant women to eat?

    Yes! Both our soft serve and hard scooped ice cream is pasteurized!

    Are there space heaters in the outdoor dining area?

    Not yet! But we have heaters on order and are expecting them later in January.

    Is sit down dining available currently? It was showing on google that it wasn't available but Yelp says it is?

    They have limited indoor and outdoor seating available!

    Is it vegan? I saw the matcha base is non-sugar non-dairy, but not sure if that stands for the majority of their products- fiancé has dairy allergy and I LOVE matcha.

    Vegans just stay home it's the best way to not cause harm to animals!

    Are there vegan options?

    Yes, in terms of food you're only looking at one thing- Tofu salad. For dessert there's matcha latte with almond milk

    How do you handle parking?

    ^^ For downtown, free parking is after 8pm. Unless this location happens to be far enough away but I don't think so...

    What food(not dessert) item is worth getting?

    Katsu Curry and Chicken Nanban were good.

    What are the best times to avoid crowds on a weekday?

    1:00pm to 2:30pm and after 8pm. Basically anytime that passes lunch/dinner hours.

    Are there any desserts that are dairy free?

    They have a milk substitute option for 75 cents - oat or soy milk :)

    Is this somewhere you can chill and play board games or something?

    They don't provide you with board games. Guess you could bring your own, but right now it's still so busy and crowded... you would probably feel bad taking up space if you're done all your meal and desserts. Their tables are also aren't that big.… Read more

    Is WiFi available?

    Yea free wifi! Definitely.

    Is it officially open now? Do I still need to make a reservation to visit?

    It is open. I just walked up and ordered a few days ago. Be sure to show up early, because they ran out of a bunch of stuff when I went at around 2-3PM.

The mixed berry bingsu was my fave! The berries were fresh but the best part was the ice cream! Super flavorful and I loved the fruit syrup too. For both, the bingsu itself is very light in flavor and texture. It melts in your mouth and pairs well with the toppings, especially that sweetened condensed milk. I hope to come back to try other items soon!!

The crème brûlée was warmed and freshly caramelized on top. This is not made in advance and just refrigerated which seems to be more common these days. The hot chocolate hit the spot! Options for no -dairy alternatives were offered which I almost forgot to ask. Liked the atmosphere, spacious and high ceilings. The staff was very friendly and nice. They had a rush when they opened and didn't seem unusual for them. The candied orange was a nice touch.
