Uji Time has been one of my favorite local spots. The real standout for me is the food. Their popcorn chicken is hands down the best I've had -- crispy, juicy, perfectly seasoned, and seriously addictive. The deep-fried squid (basically calamari) is just as good -- light, crispy, and not overly greasy. It's the kind of snack you order "to share" and then end up guarding. And you can't leave without trying their soft serve. The fish-shaped cone is fun on its own, but the unique soft serve flavors make it special. It's creative, delicious, and something you can't find anywhere nearby. It's heartbreaking that they're closing sometime March. Places that put this much care into both flavor and creativity deserve better. If you've ever thought about trying it, now is the time. Local gems like this don't come around often -- and they shouldn't disappear quietly. read more

Stopping in this weekend, Uji Time Dessert was not quite what I expected. I went in thinking they sold ice cream but I'd term their soft serve solidly frozen yogurt, with the ice cream they sell being Moochi. The soft serve had an intensely creamy flavor with a high milk content and while the honey enjoyed his Thai milk tea boba, the style of my mango cup was not for me (although the fish cone option is very cute). We ordered from a tablet at the front and the service was prompt and friendly. I'd love to see them add in some outside seating as beyond the Starbucks, there's no seating in this shopping center. All in all, we may come back to order food but sadly it just wasn't a good match for the type of ice cream I enjoy. read more

What a cute spot to get a non-alcoholic pina colada, air conditioning, friendly service...and a dog-friendly atmosphere! I ordered the pina colada, and I was so happy that I could adjust the sweetness level. My fiance ordered an ube milk tea, with zero percent sweetness (he's T1 diabetic so he prefers his drinks less sweet.) Everything tasted so perfectly refreshing. I saw the signs saying that they will close soon in mid-March, so I will definitely return and try some of their desserts and snacks next time! read more

We got taiyaki filled with red beans and topped with Uber & matcha. Egg Puff skewers. Takoyaki Recipe (Japanese Octopus Balls) . The service was quick and excellent. I love this area. Great to hang out. Support local businesses and beat the heat. Thank you for the amazing food. read more

So sad they're closed. Often stopped by for Asian snacks and drinks whenever I had errands to run in the area. Used to love the ube and matcha soft serve swirl topped with a fish shaped waffle/pancake/cookie hybrid. Will now have to go to their competitor by the Livermore Outlets. read more

This place recently opened in Sept, in a large parking lot that had a good amount of space to easily find parking. The menu was overwhelming, they had so many selections to choose from. They had a ton of soft serve selection! The wife and I were able to sample a few, I got the matcha ube swirl, and she got the peach vanilla swirl. The flavor of the matcha was a bit bitter to my taste, so pairing it with the sweeter ube made it a good combination. Overall, I'm excited to come back for summer and enjoy a delicious soft serve! read more

Finally we get a proper Uji Time here! Yay! Anyways, my fiance and I came here for a late-ish snack/dessert/dinner. Their menu is fairly extensive in which that was pretty neat. They even have proper rice bowls and all. Anyways, we ordered one of their taiyaki ice cream with ube and matcha swirled ice cream with a strawberry and chocolate wafer roll. We also got their Oreo egg puff skewer and their gyudon, popcorn chicken, and their curly fries. Since my fiance got the ice cream, I tried a bit of it and was pleasantly surprised at how strong the ube taste was. Their chicken karaage was also amazing. The gyudon is your average gyudon but it does the job when you're hungry. It wasn't bad and if anything, it was pretty good. Just not too special though? Their curly fries are pretty good too. The only minor disappointing part was the egg puff skewer. I would've thought it was stuffed with Oreo or something inside, but it was just an egg puff waffle skewer with a mini oreo on top and a drizzle. Personally a bit too doughy for my liking. Perhaps I'll try the normal egg waffle. The main reason for the -1 star is that the electronic ordering system they have is a bit strange. It doesn't really have a selection for "sit in" dining. It had two selections of "takeout" and "pay for existing order." When we asked a staff member how to order for sit in, he was confused. I don't think it's because he didn't understand us, but rather didn't know the operating system. He ended up grabbing someone else who seemed to give a fairly questionable answer too. Regardless we just finagled our way through. The other part of the -1 star though was the order for the gyudon was wrong. Somehow it came out as a tofu rice bowl and I had to get them to change it. So something with communication may be potentially lacking. Would I come back? Definitely. Given it's a new place, there are probably some growing pains as they say. Seating wise, there's enough seating I think for what it is. But it's not like there's a whole open seating space. Just several tables. read more

This is a cute spot within an outdoor plaza with plenty of parking but it does get busy since there are many other popular spots (Trader Joe's, Chipotle, Starbucks). There's a decent amount of seating as well. You can order on their kiosk or at the counter. They have a happy hour special from 4-6p for a snack/waffle and drink combo which is a steal! However, there are limitations of snack options for this deal. They have drinks, snacks, rice bowls, takiyaki, and ice cream -- everything I love! I got their popcorn chicken (super flavorful and juicy), calamari (HUGE and very crispy), chocolate egg waffle (great texture but was overcooked which is typical with chocolate waffles). Will definitely be back to try their many ice cream options! read more

We've been here twice in a week. My older daughter loves anything boba and matcha. Their drinks are okay. Their chicken karaage/popcorn chicken is tasty and my youngest is picky so she eats that. Today we tried the matcha and the matcha ube soft serve. In our 'ohana, only my oldest is not lactose intolerant. The combination of the soft serve and my Trenta Starbucks (I didn't even drink half) has my stomach doing cartwheels and flips this evening. I won't knock off any stars since it was my fault for doing this "combination"; but, lesson learned. We definitely are adding Uji Time to our list of "places we frequent". There are quite a bit of seating in this establishment and the workers are friendly. A few days ago my oldest daughter started a conversation with I believe the owner's son. She was tickled at how friendly he was and that he recommended the matcha soft serve to her. That is why she asked to go today. Lol. read more

I'm so happy a location opened up closer to us!! Spontaneously popped in on a Friday afternoon and enjoyed our boba and dessert! It's so close to the high school and we unfortunately went when school got out so it was over run by students taking over nearly half the store with backpacks on the ground and loud noises and I could tell that some of the staff was annoyed especially when calling our their orders and no one was paying attention. I wouldn't recommend going during the week when school gets out for this reason.. but it doesn't change the taste or quality of the dessert and drinks!! read more

This was one of my favorite spots to go to for boba when I worked in Berkeley. I discovered the Taiyaki cone here and tried it for the first time and fell in love! I was so excited when I saw their Danville location! They have a nice small place in downtown Danville with the same menu I remember from Berkeley. read more

Love the menu of savory and sweet options. The drinks look really good, hope to try next time. The taiyaki with Nutella was addictive on its own. The chocolate soft serve it was on top of was a bit too subtle in taste for me. I think the two toppings that you get with it come with a very light portion so don't expect much there. Friendly staff. read more

Absolutely love the boba tea here. I've tried quite a few places over the years and Uji Time has the best. My go to is the dragonfruit fruit tea with lychee. Another favorite is the peach fruit tea with boba and lychee. They have more than just boba tea - they have some great ice cream and other treats. read more

Uji time is one of the popular soft serve chains! I ordered the mix of lavender and black sesame, and I loved the mix of flavors. The black sesame had a sweet sesame flavor, while the lavender had a light, more subtle sweet taste. The soft serve tasted light and refreshing, and also very creamy! read more

So happy we have this here! So yummy. Clean and fast service. They have lots of food treats too. Will try next time read more

The drinks are so great and I am so glad that the matcha doesn't taste "cheap" or grainy! I loved the matcha and strawberry boba drink.The tapioca was so good, syrupy, and chewy.

I love this place!! Pictured is the mango saga- it has some sort of rice pearls in there (not traditional and not popping) similar to rice pudding. I usually get the milk tea because I'm basic but I love everything here! Love the mango smoothie too. They are always helpful and kind and I don't feel like they are rushing to make my drink & put thought into it. They make it exactly the same every time. It's nice and quiet in there too. read more

You had me at Lychee! What a delicious surprise to find an Uji branch sprouting up amidst the suburban jungle of Danville, a-WASP-ed by upper-middle-class Americana whose taste bud starts at vanilla and ends at French vanilla. With Uji, there is a now a chance to rise above the vast vanilla vulgarity of small-town homogeneity...and allow the likes of Matcha, Ube, and Lychee to enter into our stream of ice-cream cone-ciousness. As an erstwhile Chinese National (no affiliation with the CCP, I promise), a brief resident of Japan (the birthplace of my OCD), and frequent tourist in the Philippines (nobody does interviews like the Dutertes), I was transported back to my former homelands by Uji's generous selection of Asian flavors (alas, Tiger Mom Flavor wasn't on the menu). My go-to flavor is their lychee ice-cream--airy, mellow, creamy. For those who are unfamiliar with this delicate fruit: imagine a pacifist version of a sea urchin, the slippery texture of a premature newborn, and the flavors of apple/grape/honeydew all packed into a single mongrel bite. That's lychee for ya (pronounced "leech-ee", as opposed to leecher) Lastly, the staff at Uji won me over by offering a cup o' whipped cream to my dog upon my first visit, thus securing my loyal patronage. So, verily I say unto you: abandon thee thy wasteful ways on the journey via Rocky Road towards the Sea of Salted Caramel. Aim not for western sugary saturation but Far East Soft Serve, for those who go to Uji will not perish in calories but have everlasting satiation. read more

The ice cream itself was delicious. I enjoyed the matcha that tasted less sweet and matcha forward. But I was so disappointed with the fish. It was pre made just hanging.. it was cold, dry and stale which is a huge disappointment. I appreciate competitors making fresh fish that also makes the red bean warm and enhances the taste and texture of ice cream. Overall... was not worth my calories. read more

I came across Uji Time Dessert in Danville Square after Trader Joe's. I ordered Thai milk tea and Mango sago. Both drinks were delicious, with just the right amount of sweetness. The customer service was efficient, and the staff was also very friendly. They offer a wide variety of drinks, and their most popular item on the menu is the taiyaki cone with soft-serve ice cream. They have matcha, black sesame, ube, chocolate, vanilla, and seasonal flavors. Looking forward to coming back here again. read more

Bought a pint of Vietnamese coffee for $13. The ice cream was tasty but not worth the steep price. The service was terrible- particularly the male (Saturday afternoon) was rude. Unable to answer questions - like where was the ice cream made ("I don't know), what are the ingredients - would not let us read the ingredient list on the pint container until after we paid. The ice cream pints are in a locked freezer. But once we pay he would unlock the freezer so we could look. He did say there was a posted printout of their ice cream ingredients on the side of the freezer but it did not list percentages of saturated fat, etc He himself knew nothing about the product. Not impressed and will not return. Saturated fat content is TOO HIGH and is sweetened with FRUCTOSE. Better off buying a pint of Jeni's ice cream. read more

I'm so excited Uji Time opened a location in Danville! We used to go all the way to San Francisco just for their matcha ice cream in the taiyaki fish cone. Now it's much closer, and it's just as good! All their flavors are amazing--especially the matcha and black sesame--and the ice cream is always fresh, creamy, and not overly sweet. The fish cone is crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and pairs perfectly with the ice cream. The Danville store is much bigger than the SF one, with lots of seating and a modern, clean vibe. The staff are super friendly too, which makes the experience even better. If you're in the area, I definitely recommend stopping by for a treat! read more

Do not EAT HERE. The service is great and drinks are good but any of the snacks leave you w a bad feeling in your stomach.

Do not get the matcha latte if ur a real matcha head it will disappoint. Pale and muddy color. Bad ratio.

Best thing that's happened to Danville downtown lately! We used to have to go all the way to Berkeley, Concord or Dublin to enjoy the soft serve and fish shaped Taiyaki. The purple Ube ice cream is the best ever! read more

Great service! Nice people! Clean and neat! I really like their style. They are giving out free samples randomly (drinks, ice cream, egg puff and etc). They are having 20% off from 12-9pm right now. The grand opening will be on 9/13 BOGO soft serve ice cream! So exciting for the ice cream and boba place open here! read more
