I do not like having to wait 20 minutes when I am the only person in the place.

You must try their Ube soft serve but personally won’t recommend the taiyaki - does not taste fresh. The crepe was frozen and we were told to wait 10 minutes before eating it.And we preferred the soft serve vs the hard ice cream. Our fave hard ice cream was White Peach.

The tea they serve is ridiculously sweet. Crepe cake was frozen and tasted like plastic. The service guy wasn’t welcoming and looked kinda

Yummmmmm! Yummmm! Yummmm! I was so happy to have found this place after eating dinner at Yard House. The matcha was delicious. Enjoyed every lick of it. Will definitely be going back. The service was great. Before I even finished paying my order was ready. No waiting time or lines. The cashier was very sweet and had a great personality and was able to have a human conversation/interaction. Thank you! Ambiance is cute and simple nothing too fancy. I was in and out I noticed they had a good amount of seating. Will be back soon! :)

I wanted to buy my kids a treat while shopping in Concord and decided to check the desserts out here. We bougt a mix of drinks and ice cream. The match ube ice cream was nice and creamy and they loved it. The dirty matcha was good as well. They have a variety of different desserts and I plan on returning again.

Excellent green tea ice cream, especially with matcha powder as a topping.

This review is for the young ladies who were working at Uji Time today. The store was quite busy and here I come to complain about my boba. I have been here many times and something tasted a little off. I explained the situation and without hesitation, the young lady at the counter fixed my order. She even came with a sample of salted crème for me to taste before she made me a new one. My drink was perfectly remade and I left sooo happy with the most delicious brown sugar boba with salted crème. These ladies should be recognized for their stellar customer service! Can't wait for my next visit.

This place is in the perfect spot for dessert on a strip of restaurants. I stopped by here and although I'm not a fan of matcha, which is what this spot is known for, I decided to try something else and newer on the menu- the Egg Puff Skewer. I've never seen something like that, usually at boba shops it's a big sheet of egg puffs. You have the option to pick the flavor of the egg puffs (matcha, chocolate) but also a filling (Oreo, mochi)!! I wanted to try the mochi filling because I thought it would go well with the texture of the egg puff and I was absolutely right; a fluffy egg puff with a chewy inside. It was super easy to order on the kiosk in front, and my order came out fairly quick.

My gf and I love to come here after our Korean BBQ runs from Ohganes (speaking of I must do a review for them as well...) But this place definitely checks off our subtle sweet tooth, even now in the cold December weather.My gf really likes to get their Matcha and Ube soft serve ice cream. I think the flavors of these two, are strong. I prefer their black sesame soft serve the most (pictured in the second pic). The black sesame isn't to sweet; I'm there for its subtle smoky flavor. Their taiyaki fish are good as atopping too, they are very soft and moist when you can get them fresh. I like their soft serve but their regular ice cream is also pretty good. They have more flavors and I've made it my goal to try all of them. I like the Hojicha; I think that flavor comes out really strong. However, the ice cream can be a little gummy so beware to those that are weirded out by different textures. I've also tried the Hokkaida milk tea flavor which is pretty good.I have tried their sides Uji Time fries and Chicken Kaarage and I did not prefer them as much. Their fries were slathered in a sauce that was too sweet and their chicken kaarage was too salty and overcooked. I personally think this spot is good for its desserts. I've also tried their chocolate and oreo egg puff skewers. They have a crunch on the outside while the inside texture reminds me of dry(-er) mochi. They aren't really sweet and have more of a subtle taste but I really like them. I def. recommend these for people to try if they haven't already.The space is pretty small and there are a lot of people that go in for their sweet treats. I would be careful sitting down at one of their tables. Sometimes, when its busy the staff forget to wipe down their tables after a group of people leave; sometimes the tables and chairs are sticky from other customers. But they are usually busy so I understand the struggle to upkeep their tables. The servers are usually fast when they serve the ice cream and there is usually a little wait time with the sides but it shouldn't be to long of a wait unless the place is packed. I recommend this place for families that have kids. They love the ice cream and I've seen how excited they get when they see all the different kinds of toppings. They especially love the taiyaki fish! This is def. a spot I will keep coming back to.
I ordered the limited time special strawberry matcha. There weren't that many people when I ordered, but afterwards there were a lot of people who came in. The staff was friendly. The strawberry matcha had a good mix of matcha and strawberry but I don't think they use real strawberries. A bit disappointing but it's also not the season for it which I can understand. I didn't get to see them make it so I'm not too sure if they used their strawberry soft serve to make the strawberry matcha, but either way it was definitely a good balance of matcha and strawberry

I got ube soft serve on a waffle cone (it was good) and as I was ordering, I saw one of the crew members grabbed the Taiyaki with her bare hands without using tissue or gloves, and she gave it to the customer that ordered ice cream with Taiyaki. I think that’s just plain unsanitary. I wonder what else they do when no one’s looking.

We were having lunch next door and wanted to try this place out. First time here. We ordered the Jasmine milk tea and Passion fruit. Both teas were really good, not too sweet and not too strong. No long line or wait time.

The best ice cream experience!?

My first visit to an Uji Time was to the SF Japantown location. I thought it was OK, but I've became a fan after visiting the San Mateo location, and was able to buy pints of Ice Cream there. I was sad they closed the San Mateo location. I'm glad I stumbled upon this one in Concord. I do wish we had a closer location in the South Bay.#Sugar:~ Black Sesame & Vanilla Cola Swirl - 3/5.This one is tough! Individually both flavors are brilliant, however they don't work well in a Swirl. The Black Sesame dominates and overpowers the Vanilla Cola, as it's a much lighter flavor. The Vanilla Cola has a pleasant light mix of cola and Vanilla, not like Vanilla Coke; that's a Coke flavor I can't stand. I should have ordered the Vanilla Cola by itself~ Uji Special - Matcha Red Bean - 3/5Interesting little treat. Waffles on a Skewer with filling, except they most definitely forgot to put the Red Bean inside and my friends ate half of it before I had a chance to tell the staff about it.
