    Suuuuuper booomb! Definitely worth going for a sweet tooth craving or dessert after dinner. You can really taste the matcha and the ube, it's so rich and soft I loved it!

    Ube

    Walking around Japantown wanting a small sweet treat for dessert and found ourselves at Uji Time! Easy enough, no line and a kiosk to take our order. We chose a scoop of ube in a cup to share. It only took 5 minutes for us to get it. Tables and chairs are along the side, so we had no problem grabbing one to enjoy our ice cream. It was nice, creamy, and not too sweet! Just the way I like it, though the ube flavor could be stronger. Nonetheless, it was good and satisfying. 4/5

    Ube soft serve
    Sophie F.

    This soft serve is absolutely delicious! Located right by the parking garage, this spot is a must-try in Japantown. The ube soft serve is so sweet and flavorful. We also loved the takoyaki shell. The soft serve definitely melts pretty quickly and can be messy, so I recommend sitting down to eat and grabbing some napkins. Will definitely be back!

    The Ube ice cream is super delicious! I love the fact you can customize your ice cream! The ube and thai tea was a perfect mix of two great flavors! They balance each other great! The matcha milkshake is big for its size and it has a strong taste of matcha so if you love matcha I would definitely give it a try! The service is quick as they have a self serve kiosk. The location is great due to it being in Japantown so you can take some nice pics of yourself and your treat!

    Super yum and glad it's way less sugary than somi somi! The sesame matcha soft serve was delicious and I was to taste the black sesame flavor. Able to sample the flavors too! Order at the kiosk, able to order the just ice cream, taiyaki fish ice cream. The store is somewhat dim, it is in a quieter part of the mall. Ordered a mochi taiyaki Nutella filled with sesame matcha soft serve, and regular taiyaki nutella filled with ube, $8.75 each which includes 2 toppings. Received order quickly. The sesame flavor and matcha flavor were strong and I appreciated that it was not sugary. The one thing I wished was for a hot taiyaki fish. Overall, super creamy ice cream with great flavors.

    Okay I'm a glutton. After a delicious lunch at Sasa Japanese restaurant upstairs, I had to get more ice cream. They had black sesame soft serve ice cream, so I ordered that with a cone, marshmallow crunchies and choco wafers. Ordering was easy, just order through the kiosk, pay by card or apple pay. The black sesame was quite large (thank goodness I shared it), it wasn't too sweet and went well with the choco wafers but unfortunately the marshmallow crunchies weren't too crunchy. I was hoping it was like the lucky charms marshmallows but that's okay. I love Japanese desserts. They're not too sweet and always hit the spot. We got there before the crowd and I'm glad we snagged the last bench to sit on to enjoy our soft serve.

    While the selection is more limited than other dessert places in the area, the quality of both of the flavors we tried (Ube and Blueberry) really stood out. The taiyaki was beautifully light and very flavorful and the red bean filling was amazing! Also our order was prepared quickly and we walked around the square while we ate it. I've been wanting to try this place for a while and I am so happy that we finally did. It's definitely going on our roster.

    Taiyaki - $8.75 each.

    Very good dessert in Japantown. We stopped by today for mochi ice cream and taiyaki soft serve waffle cones (fish-shaped, which our girls loved!). There was only a short line when we got there and ordering via the kiosk was a breeze. We ordered three types of mochi ice cream - the salted caramel and jasmine were very good, the matcha was mediocre. Our girls both ordered sesame flavored taiyaki's and enjoyed them. Total bill was a bit over $25. Service was quick. Happy to return.

    Such delicious ice cream!! We had such a great time with these yummy treats. The Ube flavor is tasty but the black sesame was truly unforgettable. It's just so completely on point. The soft serve is packed with flavor and it really feels like I'm eating black sesame. It's a game changer. Thank you for being in Japantown and making such delicious dessert for us!

    Convenient spot for ice cream or soft serve! The taiyaki itself was a bit of a letdown (was not fresh or crispy or flavorful). I do prefer somisomi's taiyaki cone. The soft serve on the otherhand was great, i enjoyed its slightly icier texture over other soft serve that can be too creamy. The seasonal honey osmanthus flavor was perfect! Not too floral and a nice honey sweetness.

    Their seasonal honey osmanthus icecream right now is a MUST TRY!!! Light, sweet, and super refreshing! I hope it becomes a staple!! Glad to see this spot is still here and there's small tables instead of benches in the common area now. Service is friendly and efficient, despite one man running the store. I tried their new mochi Taiyaki shell- personally wasn't a big fan of it but it's definitely chewy on the inside. It had a bit of a different flavor (more sugary?) from the traditional Taiyaki they serve.

    I came here after dinner at around 7 pm on a Friday and the line wasn't line at all! We ordered on the iPad and waited for them to call our name. I just got the matcha soft serve and lychee as well (it was their seasonal flavor). The matcha flavor tasted great, i didn't think it was that sweet at all which is perfect, but I didn't feel like it was as creamy as all the other reviews say. The lychee was only okay too ... I felt like the lychee flavor lacked creaminess even more so than the matcha one. I liked that service was fast though, we didn't wait long for our items to be ready.

    Do you have the melon soft serve?

    All the ice cream that I saw there is all soft ice cream not sure about the melon flavor

    Is anything gluten-free as in made with rice flour and not wheat flour? What's the safest item for someone w gluten sensitive issues?

    You should contact the shop directly for this one especially since it's dealing with your quality of health. They're super friendly and I'm sure would be more than happy to help.

    What is the texture of the fish bread? Is it soft and crunchy on the outside or more like a hard cracker/biscuit?

    It's soft.

    Are they open for 4th of July?

    Nitrogen ice cream?

    I don't think so, I believe it's more like a soft serve consistency

    Any non dairy options?

    Yes, our tofu is non-dairy :)

    Is anything dairy free?

    Hi there! All of our soft-serve is made of cows milk, we will continue to research and develop a non-dairy option in the near future. We do have slush that is dairy-free.

    Do they have any lactose free/ vegan options?

    They have a tofu flavored ice cream but I'm not sure if that's completely made of soy

    What are the specialties in Uji Time?

    Really depends what you want to get but they are known for their soft serve served inside a fish cone which they will have available next week!!

It's hard to miss since it's all decorated. I hope you try it!

    It's the month of June and the sun is coming out in San Francisco. Feels like Summer is in the air…read moreand there is lots of options when it comes to getting something refreshing . What first comes to mind is ice cream and there is a place which serves ice cream not on a flakey cone like some in SF but on a crepe. This place offers crepes like the Hawaiian which comes with ham, cheese, and pineapple and the Peach, Pineapple, Coconut Flake & Honey .There is a place located in Japantown offering savory and sweet treats. This is located inside West Mall of the Japan Center and it's called Belly Good Cafe & Crepes. On a Spring stroll in San Francisco's Japantown I landed inside the West Mall at the Belly Good Cafe & Crepes. There a variety of different dessert options available. I got the Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream, Strawberry crepe. The ice cream flavors wasn't too cheesy like some in SF. The crepe was soft and held the ice cream was tasty and the design was creative. The ice cream crepe character reminded me of a birdie / Pikachu. They also serve savory crepes like the Smoke Salmon & Cream Cheese With Pesto Crepe Roll. This is good place to enjoy some refreshing dessert and cool out from the sun in SF. When gets hot and you need an "escape" from the sun to go grab some something with ice cream on top of a "crepe "you can watch them get made and see them spread and then" scrape" and then turn them into "animal shape " Go to Japan Center and it's not located inside East Mall with the mural of spiting fire "Godzilla" is located in West Mall where they have crepes with and strawberries and "Nutella"you can take cover from the sun don't need an "umbrella"when it comes to variety of flavors of crepes they offer I would have to say "hella"

They allow you to sample up to three flavors, and I ended up choosing the black sesame and crème brûlée. Unfortunately, both flavors felt a bit muted to me. I was especially disappointed by the crème brûlée since my scoop had very few of the crunchy caramelized bits that make that flavor special. I was also expecting a richer, creamier ice cream given the reputation, but it tasted fairly standard to me. Of course, texture and richness are subjective, but overall it didn't quite live up to the hype.
