    Strawberry matcha
    Bernadette C.

    I enjoyed the strawberry matcha! At first looking at the ratio, it looks like there is way more strawberry than matcha. But once it settles and seeps in, the ratio looks half and half. There is a bit of strawberry jam at the bottom but I wish there was a tad more than what they put. I didn't even notice it at first. It was delicious and creamy but could probably be a bit creamier if I got regular milk. I usually sub for almond milk so my drinks aren't always the creamiest. I love the bright and bold green color of the matcha! After mixing it, the overall color becomes a super light green. I'd love to try the regular matcha latte next time. Service was quick with the baristas working efficiently and quickly behind the counter. You can watch them whisk matcha as well out in the open.

    Level 4 Matcha Ice Cream
    Pearl S.

    I come here regularly for the matcha ice cream. I love how this place is to taste and provides you with different levels of matcha. From my experience, the service is pretty fast, and I like how there's a rewards system that encourages me to go back for another taste!

    We were excited for the concept but ended up with a disappointing experience. When we first walked in there was a weird sewer smell. Not sure where it's coming from as it wasn't as bad towards the back which is where their bathroom is. The ordering was also odd. The staff didn't greet us nor were they helpful navigating the menu which could use more pictures and graphic design help. They didn't tell us they were out of level 3 or 4 till after we ordered. The menu mentions a small pint and large pint. A pint is a standard unit of measurement. You can't have a small or large version. The counter has the containers labeled regular and large. "Large" seems like an actual pint. While the desserts were decent they were overpriced. Since we didn't get to try level 3 or 4, the level 2 wasn't much different than what you could get elsewhere with out the sewer smell.

    This location is right off the freeway, on Bellaire Street. Once you enter the parking lot, it's on the first floor, the end cap of the building. Ninja Matcha is family-owned by "Charles" and he began this business in 2018 with his wife and children. Charles is educated on the Japanese style of refined, Matcha taste. As I sat with Charles, his intention was to curate flavors that cater to a refined taste for Matcha. Thus, Ninja Matcha offers Matcha levels 1, 2 or 3 for beginners through long term Matcha addicts . The menu items include Matcha ice creams, milk teas and desserts. This is the real deal folks! The flavored syrups are home made, therefore you NEED to tell them "Level of Sweetness" otherwise, it will be too sweet. I hardly like sugar, so 20-30% sweetness is enough, while 50% is too much for me. ACCOMMODATIONS are made upon request, "easy ice", "sweetness level". "Matcha strength level" and "milk option (oat, almond, whole milk). We were finally content to find an authentic, true Asian, Matcha tea place where you can sit with a friend and catch up. I had the Mango Matcha and my 14 year old son had the Hojicho Coconut. It was well blended and tasty! Charles shared that he has also been training some employees, therefore if your Matcha is not to your taste, let him know your preference. Prices are affordable and there's no discrimination, they take all paying customers of CASH or CREDIT. Restroom is for Patron Customers and while I was there, it was clean. We sat comfortably and there was no smell that we noticed. I am assuming those who mentioned it came when there was heavy rains.

    Solid dessert option in Chinatown, especially for matcha lovers. The menu features everything from ice cream to lattes to milk teas.. and I like how you can choose levels of matcha intensity (aka how much do you not want to sleep tonight lol) Service was efficient and spacious interior with a decent amount tables. Parking can be a pain depending on what time and day you go to this plaza. (Weekends in Chinatown will definitely put your driving patience to the test) I got a custom mango matcha latte and also tried out my friends' soft serve and ice cream. All are pretty solid with a good amount of sweetness. The cleanliness of the restaurant was a bit sloppy, there was a weird smell when we sat down and the bathrooms weren't maintained as well. Overall a good option in Chinatown for dessert in a competitive area. Good stop to satisfy your matcha cravings.

    Matcha latte
    Andrea K.

    I heard a lot about this place and was excited to finally try it after passing by many times. I was sadly disappointed by the quality of the drink. I might return to order something else and give it another try, but I figured the matcha latte would be a classic to start with. The matcha latte I received tasted diluted, and it wasn't as smooth as expected. Another thing I noticed other reviews mentioned, and something I noticed immediately as I walked in, there is a bathroom/sewage smell. It had rained a little bit that night so it might be the rain, but it still smelled pretty bad inside. The service was good and helpful, and there were a fair amount of seats available for a Saturday night. However, in summary, for a place that focuses on matcha, I was expecting more.

    Level 2 Matcha Ice Cream ($4.95)
    Diana C.

    Sad to say that this place has gone way down hill. We came on a Saturday after lunch around 12:30 and ordered an iced oat milk matcha latte. I asked the cashier if they had oat milk before I ordered, and he said yes. I ordered and paid, he turns around and says, oh...we don't have anymore oat milk to his coworker. So he comes to me and asks me if I would like soy or almond. I ended up just getting whole milk and put in matcha boba topping instead, for the same price of alternative milk. The drink looked amazing, but the matcha tasted weak and cheap. I'm not sure what brand of matcha they use but for being a dedicated matcha place, I would have expected higher quality. The matcha was dull, to put it kindly. The bathrooms were not maintained at all. It was dirty and unkept. So disappointing that it seems like this place has gone downhill.

    Iced Matcha Latte
    Lucie N.

    ORDER Matcha shaved ice with Matcha jelly and Matcha Boba - super yummy with great Matcha flavored throughout the shaved ice. My family really liked their jelly and the Boba. The soft serve is also very delicious and creamy with good matcha flavor. Iced Matcha Latte - Great strong matcha flavor with good ratios of milk to matcha. It wasn't too sweet as well, so absolutely delicious!! VIBES Crowded on a Saturday night with some people studying and families enjoying matcha! Cute art around the interior and decently clean! SERVICE Service is great! Quick and nice!

    Matcha soft serve

    Soft serve ice cream was what we came here for. It was not bad but not the greatest. Service was quick and attentive. The indoor decor was not bad either.

    Shaved ice with soft serve swirl
    Win L.

    Great dessert place for matcha lovers that is also open late! We got the Matcha shaved ice, which also came with soft. Serve ice cream and two free toppings. The shaved ice had a strong matcha flavor, so it tasted great both frozen and slightly melted. We got the soft serve as a vanilla and Matcha swirl. It was very creamy and rich just the way we like it. They have a number of dessert options, including ice cream with three different strengths of Matcha. They also have a number of Matcha based drinks. Plenty of indoor seating and free parking in the complex. The service is counter service, but efficient and friendly. We love the dog murals, which were absolutely adorable in the store.

    Cute spot in China Town. Menu is not huge but has what you would expect from a matcha dessert spot. Went midday on a Friday. Not crowded and quite mellow. Service was quick and attentive.

    Kartrinna H.

    I came in after lunch and was quite skeptical but hopeful seeing the menu, I just ordered the iced matcha latte and it was so GOOD. I'm honestly quite surprised the ratings are on the lower end. The worker was nice about helping with choosing my options and my drink out very quick. The store is spacious making it a great space to hang out :)

    Irene R.

    The soft serve was amazing! It was so creamy and the vanilla and matcha flavors complimented each other so well. The service was friendly and quick. The place itself its cute and they have enough tables to chat or study if you would like.

When I stopped by on a weekday evening at 9pm it was packed. They had stations setup throughout the store to order different goods, which helped to alleviate the rush. Knafeh ($6) - They offered 2 types of knafeh, one with cheese and one with custard. I went with the one made with Nabulsi cheese and topped with shredded phyllo, and soaked in sugar syrup. It was warm, crispy and delicious! Karak tea ($5) - This milk tea drink was made with aromatic spices, primarily cardamom, cloves, ginger and cloves. I was happy to see they used whole milk instead of evaporated milk. The drink was incredibly rich and creamy and tasted great. Turkish delight ($18 / lb.) - This was extremely fresh, soft and chewy, made with cornstarch, sugar, nuts. Some of the varieties I tried had chocolate and/or fruits. The baklava here was fresh made with layers of phyllo dough, chopped nuts, and held together with some honey. The nut offerings here included, almonds, walnuts, peanuts and a few more. Overall I was impressed with everything they offered here with the exception of the nuts, which I thought were just ok. I'd definitely return if I was in the area.

    The desserts here are fun, unique, and very different from what you find at most places. My only…read morecomplaint is the lack of labeling for many of the products. For example, with the Turkish delights and ice cream selections, only a few items are labeled. For most of them, you have to guess the flavor or ingredients. When I asked questions, there was a language barrier, and the staff member behind the counter was unable to clearly explain what the items were in English. This can be especially frustrating for customers with food allergies or dietary restrictions. In the U.S., I would expect all flavors and ingredients to be clearly labeled so customers can make informed choices. Even if staff members are not fluent in English, having accurate labels for flavors and ingredients would greatly improve the customer experience. The desserts themselves are excellent, but better product labeling would make the experience much more enjoyable and accessible for everyone.

I tried the Chocolate Royale and the Ruby. Chocolate Royale - a petit chocolate mouse slice with flat chocolate panels along the sides. It is delicate and tasty. If you're a chocolate lover, this is definitely up your alley. Ruby - visually this looks like a strawberry Hershey kiss, with red powder on the exterior and a top piece of foil to resemble foil on the wrapper of a hershey kiss. Inside, it's filled with a strawberry cream and has a chocolate base. I just wish there was more chocolate in this one. They have plenty of seating inside as well as along the sidewalk. Inside you have the more fancy tables, whereas outside, they're more weather resistant and not as upscale in appearance. The soft drinks to drink along with your sweets are in a cold case along the hotel side of the space and you just take them to the register as you order. One of the most surprising things when you come here are the relatively affordable prices as you might expect them to be more for being a coffee shop attached to a 5-star hotel with a helipad.

Since we were already in the area after breakfast at TJ's Filipino Cuisine, we finally got the chance to stop by and try their baked goods for ourselves. We arrived early, so the bakery wasn't too busy yet. The bakers were busy prepping more goodies in the back while my cousin and I browsed all the Filipino baked goods we really miss from back home in the Philippines. They even had suman, sapin-sapin, biko, and other kakanin, which was nice to see. I specifically looked for the chicken empanada, and my cousin wanted to try the ube white chocolate chip cookie. We also saw different kinds of siopao and planned to come back later to buy some before heading back to San Antonio. We tried the ube white chocolate chip cookie first, but honestly we weren't totally satisfied. It tasted more like a regular white chocolate chip cookie with purple coloring and didn't really have much ube flavor. I also tried the chicken empanada. My cousin didn't like it because it was sweeter than expected--we were both expecting it to be savory. There seemed to be caramelized sugar in the outside of the pastry, which probably added to the sweetness. I still like it, though it was definitely sweeter than what I'm used to. Red Ribbon's chicken empanada is still my favorite. Later that day before leaving Houston, we came back for the siopao we planned to take home. We finally decided to just buy a couple pieces for ourselves, heat them up in the bakery, and try them fresh. When we saw the price for a four-pack, we were honestly disappointed. It felt expensive for the size. The siopao wasn't huge, and while I like the dough, there wasn't much chicken filling inside. For the portion, taste, and quality, it felt overpriced. Overall, it's probably not worth making another trip back for us. We did enjoy the cassava ube suman, and I like the chicken empanada, but not enough to drive all the way to Houston just for those. If I live nearby, I might come back to try other baked goods, but based on this visit, I'm not sure the rest would impress my palate. I still give them credit for cleanliness and customer service, although we did notice fruit flies on one of the shelves and reported it. The staff was friendly, and the bakery itself was welcoming. At the end of the day, since they're a bakery, the expectation is great-tasting, quality, mouthwatering Filipino breads, pastries ", and kakanin. While some items were enjoyable, overall it just didn't quite live up to the hype for us.
